The Ruling Passion.

Chimnie McFadden, addicted TO slang,
Thought life was worth living no more.
30 he sought him the path by the suicide
route
To the golden or otherwise shore.
The stuff that he took brings quite pain
less death,
With no racking or gnawing inside.
And as ChimMie upyielded his fiuttering
breath,
"Oh, dis Is dead easy" he cried.

Another important subject IN Mr.. stor-

The concluding words OF the address
deserve az much attention as the sug-

uttered by a man free from suspicion OF

grave enough to demand the attention Of

DID NOT WORK IN PRACTICE.
into practice well-intentioned theories Is
shown by the government OF Samoa
Great Britain took possession of Australia
and OF New Zealand and made wonderful
colonies of those islands. Whatever one
may. think OF that nations spirit of ag-
grandlzement. there f. no doubt that as
great a good 10 humanity was performed
when the white man occupied those lands
as when he crossed the Atlantic and laid
the foundation stone Of q new empire on
Plymouth Rock.
To some European nation must one day
fall the task OF extending the white mans
rule to the island of Samoa Both Great
Britain and Germany were anxious to
undertake the work and profit by the re-
suits, but the United States had interests
there which made this government re-
luctant TO permit the domination OF either
unless those rights could be well secured
The two European powers. jealous Of each
other. and DESTROYS OF avoiding any en-
proposed a sort of protectorste by the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many Jointly. This looked Ike very fair
arrangement, but results have shown that
Il is even worse than inrpracticable-it L.
ridiculous. Officials OF all three countries
are drawing salaries. while the king IL
compelled to live on a bare pittance doled
out to him after periodical displays OF dig
nifed officiallsm on the part OF the repre-
sentatives Of the three nations. Nothing
can be done without the consent OF the
three powers, and the strictsst etiquette
must be maintained by each Of the fune-
tlonaries In his dealings with the other.
Ths American consul, with very COM
mendable common sense, points out the
absurdity OF the situation and recon-
rnends that a new method be devised.
The most serious Disadvantage OF the
present system ls that all Improvement OF
the island Is neglected. and there can be
no Efforts made to effect any so long as
thu Jealousy of one power operates to
Illustrate good Intentions on the part OF
another.
