make it fit, and then tho earth was packed
tightly around it and the stone was low
cred in place. Two signboards were next
tied TO the post and single posters pasted
on them, so that people going up and
down Broadway could see the advertise
ments.
The next day tho public works people
sent word to the station house to have the
post removed. The policeman who went
around to attend TO IL tugged at the two
feet Of iron projecting above tho sidewalk
for about 10 minutes and then gave up,
contenting himself with ripping off the
signs. The next week two laborers were
sent up to remove the post, and they
banged ct it with sledge hammers and
tugged for all they were worth, with no
results. They couldn't bulge the post.
Welsh looked on with a smile oil the time,
and billposters replaced the signs as fast
as they were torn down.
On an average Of two or three times each
year for 10 years an order has been issued
for the removal OF the post, but none OF
tho laborers sent up accomplished any
thing. The regulars on Broadway have
called it Welshs post for years and it has
been Welsh habit to doff his hat to it ev-
cry time he passed up or down the street.
But an end came to the prosperity Of tho
post at last. The reform incumbrance
bureau ordered 1t removed, and the third
gang Of laborers sent up raised the flag
stone, and after four hours Of work dug
up the post and carted 1t away Welsh
was heartbroken when he heard that it
was gone, and the post has been sadly
missed by tho regulars, who had come to
regard 1t as a landmark.-NewY York Sun.

The Fight with Africans and Asiatics.

Inc Elknb WIN africans ana AhiaNlc6.
The plain truth is that the natural fight
/ ing power Of Aslatics and Africans is very
nearly equal to that OF Europeans-so near.
| ly equal that whenever the dark men are
even decently organized and armed, or led
by man Of capacity, the white mems ad-
vantage disappears, and they have to fight
with all the care and generalship and even
numbers which they would require in Eu-
rope. 1t is assumed that these things will
never occur, but the assumption is a very
large one, and by no means borne out by
past facts, We all know and admit that
the necessary change has occurred in
Japan, and no European power would now
invade that country without taking all the
precautions 1t would take il it were invad-
Ing European state. Indeed Russia is
actually accommodating a great army in
eastern Siberia-9O. 600 men, it Is said
in fear lest the Japanese, if too much
pressed, should invade her.
The ameer of Afghanistan is aocumu-
lating European weapons year by year and
Is actually manufacturing them in such
quantities that, should we ever come into
conflict with his SUCCESSOR, the general In
command will have to be as careful as II
he were face to face with European foe.
1t is not General Roberts who viii tell
anybody that the conquest of Afghanistan,
supposing that our democracy decided on
that foolish enterprise, would DO an easy
task or a military parade. And now, in
Abyssinia, European army has been ac-
tually destroyed by an African power,
whose soldiers, though no doubt of Semitic
blood, are most of them darker than any
great tribe of Asiatics. The Italians were
Of the best blood Of Europe, they belonged
to an army trained for 80 years to meet
European opponents, they carried weapons
of precision, and they died in proportion
TO their numbers most unusual in warfare
yet they were swept in utter rout out Of
the hills and had Menelek but pursued, as
a European general would have done,
would have beon swept out Of Africa

CHARLEY wELsH's IRON POST,
Torn Out Of Broadway After Fifteen Year
Of Effort By City Employees.

Torn Out Of broadway Aver Fifteen Years
Of Effort by city Employees.
There Is a story behind a small iron post
which was recently removed from In front
Of the cigar store at 1911 Broadway by
the bureau Of membranes. Fifteen years
ago the theatrical advertising agepts IN
this city were having hard time OF ii
securing desireble spots In which to place
their paper The regular billboards were
good enough for the big three shelters, but
it was difficult to place many of the single
posters, owing TO tho vigilance Of the pub
lie works department officials, who would
rip up signboards and other mediums Of
advertising rs fast as they were Tut down.
II was phnrles Welsh, now advertising
aappt at Hoyt's theater, who finally solved
tho problem. He bought six foot iron
post and one dark night carried it up
broadway to 1,21l. Two lIborers who
were along with him then pulled up one
If the hagstones near the curb, and with
pick and shovel dug four foot hole in the
ground, Tho post was placed in the hole,
a bit Of the flagstone was knocked out to

Ibsen's mastership as an artist becomes
still greater when it is noticed that many
of his subjects are not by themselves drn-
matte but rather epic novels. In a de-
oisiye moment the characters simply speak
Of themselves to each other, and the
threads Of their lives are laid bnro by what
they say. Thus nearly the whole dramatic
effect is reduced to our interest in getting
to know him who speaks and him who
listens but that is only possible as tho
story goes on, now and then iaterrupted
by an event which carries it farther IN an
other manner. Really we are present at a
kind of cross examination, but the issue is
not how he got her or why lie did not get
her. Tho issue is about life and death.
and that gives every word such an impor-
lance that we are afraid Of missing the
finest shading in the expression. In suoh
u manner of composition there is, however,
something queer, and Ibsen will hardly
have many imitators. - Bjornstjerne

ESDICKENS ON CHRISTMAS.

Christmas time! That man must be
a misanthrope indeed in whose breast
something like jovial feeling is not
reused, in whose mind some pleasant
associations are not awakened, by the
recurrence of Christmas. There are
people who will tell you that Christ
mas is not to them what it used to be-;
that each succeeding Christmas has
found some cherished hope or happy
prospect of the year before dimmed
or passed away; that the present on
ly serves to remind them of reduced
circumstances and straitened incomes,
of the feasts that once bestowed on
hollow friends, and of the cold looks
that meet them now ia adversely or
misfortune. Never heed such dismal
"reminiscences. Look on the merry
faces of your children, if you have
any, as they sit round the fire. One
little seat may be empty. One slight
form that gladdened the fathers heart
and reused the mothers pride to look
upon may not be there. Dwell not
upon the past. Think not that one
short year ago the fair child now re-
solving into dust sat before you with
the bloom of health upon its cheek
and the gayety of infancy in its joy
Gus eye. Reflect up-n your present
blessings, of which every man has
many-not on your past misfortunes,
of which all men have some. Fill
your glass again, with a merry face
and contented heart. Our life on it,
but your Christmas shall be merry
and your new year happy one.

going to pieces. With the disbanding
of the State organization came the dis
banding of the district organization.
With the latter disbanding interest
was lost at the different high schools.

that the school held contest of it's

any other pupils of outside schools.
