MORE THAN MIXED.

The Widow Britain's Grandson Kai-
ser Wilhelm, who seems to have more
of the HohenzOlern in him than Guelph
more Dutch than Britain, is said to
be waxing grouchy. 1t is thought
that he has determined neyermOre To
visit land of his grandmother's, a
queen who could find nobody good
enough in Great Britain 10 marry, and
who through her German proclivities
injected q still stronger strain of for
eign blood in the ruling house of Eng
land. But again another account says
King Bill is in conciliatory mood
and as calm as a May morning. Then
again according TO one rumor he has
received an eXpostulatory letter from
Grandma Victoria; and according to
another he hasn't. He has answered
the queens letter, says one; and he
will never do SO. says another. Any
body is free TO believe whatever he may
please; for, like Autolycus, the Ubi-
QuitiOus correspondent has something
in his pack to suit every taste. The
leading players in the South African
drama are TO be sought neither In Ber-
lin nor in London. but in Pretoria. Up
on the result of the negotiations be-
tween Sir Hercules Robinson and
"Oom Paul. Kruger may depend the
peace OF the world. At the present
time the fleets gathering in Delagoa
Bay and at Portsmouth are merely
properties In the show, and the sover-
eigns and cabinet ministers Of Europe
are playing subsidiary parts.

However, whether it comes TO any
thing in the immediate present or not,
we hope the house resolution will go
through. Hawaii lies in our ocean
path to the Orient, and is more contig
uous TO this continent than TO any
other. But above all it is ruled and
governed by Americans, loyal Ameri-
cans, who are in full sympathy with
our commercial and political interests,

FOOLED AND DELUDED.

1t is wonderful how long a people
can be bamboOZled and miSled by party
politicians, rallied and massed by
watchwordS, the mere utterance of dis
tinguished names in connection with
principles which have long since ceas-
ed TO have any significance or bearing
beyond the capture of votes-tO the
consequent emolument Of the MERGE
nary politician.
In evidence of the above statement
it is only necessary to cite the reader
to the history of the Democratic party
which boasungly traces its origin to
the political primeval days of Thomas
Jefferson and points with pride to Saint
Jefferson as its founder No national
Democratic platform from the first to
the last has failed TO prescribe the
stimulus of Jeffersonian theory, in
weigh against the appalling danger of
too uch government and insiSt-in well
rounded periOds-upOn strict adherence
TO local self government, or in other
words home rule. But alas how
easy it is TO make promises and how
very easy it is to break them when
the people have been facinated by the
fetch Of name or the mummery of in
cantatiOn. After an interregnum of
nearly a quarter of a century during
which the Democratic party was main
~ engaged in the harmless folly of
formulating platforms, it again rose
to the surface and took part control
of the government, e, the presidency
and the lower house of congress. The
laity of the Democracy who had kept
their altar fires burning through pa
tient watch and vigil long in sanguine
expectancy of the oft promised JEFF
ferSonian golden age were doomed to
disappointment, and Grover and his
associates, plead In excavation that
they were hampered by d Republican
senate that was hell-bent to block the
wheels of reform. This childish plea
may have satisfied the rank and file
of the great unwashed" but it did not
satisfy a majority of the American
people and in 1855 Grover was re-
manded 10 a back seat. During an in
terval Of four years, this echolalian
man of destiny underwent careful groo-
ming by Wall street and for the second
time assumed NapOleonic leadership
of the party that was to usher in the
full tide Of Jeffersonian reform.
Well may the honest simple minded
Democrat imbued with the spirit of the
doctrine of redheaded sanguine Thorn

Bishop Whipple, of st. Paul. One ever-

could barely reach it on his tiptocs,

kIND-HEARTED BEAR.

I.ifts q Child in Its Paws and Puts He
in a Place of Safety.
Miss Isabel f. Hapgood translates fol
st. Nicholas true story from the Rus
sian of Vera p. Zhelikhovsky. 1t is ar
incident that occurred in 1S47, in ths
! Trans-Caucasian German colony OF me
Elizabeththal, about 30 miles from
Tiflis. A picnic party discovered
large bear Called "Mikhail lvanitch'
and General Toptygin" Russian) on
q narrow ledge of rock high up in
gorge. This is what followed:
All at once simultaneous cry OF
pity, terror, horror, broke from all
From behind the crag little girl made
her appearance. The tiny colonist was
seven or eight years old; not more.
She was strolling along with her arms
crossed careessly on her pink apron.
A large hat of coarse straw, such as all
colonists, whether young or old, wear
in hot weather. had fallen quite over On
the nape of her neck; and surrounded
hy this aureole, all flooded with sun
light, the poor little thing stepped out
on the path which skirted the cliff 20
the brink of the abyss.
The poor child was going to her death
in plain sight of many men and women
and to what dreadful death! And
not one of them could help her! No
one could either save her or warn her of
her danger.
All were condemned to gaze, inactive,
at the dreadful event which was on the
point of happening before their eyes.
The women raised cry and fell TO
weeping. The majority of them sob!'ed
themselves into Mysteries beforehand.
The men, even those who had been in
battle more than once, who had beheld
death and blood, said afterward that
they became cold and dizzy, and many
turned away their eyes in anguish. But
those who endured the ordeal, on the
other hand, beheld marvel.
Because Of the turn in the path the
child could not see the terrible fellow
traveller who was coming to meet her.
She only caught sight of that dark
Brown shaggy mass at the moment
when it almost came in contact with
her. The huge beast completely
blocked her road. His left paws stood
en- the very edge of the path, while with
his right side he almost rubbed the
cliff. They caught sight of each other
almost at the same moment.
Probably cry or an exclamation on
the part of the child revealed her pres

ing. OF course the boy who set it afire
cannot hold it more than second, so
he throws it swiftly to the boy next to
him. Tbs boy sees the flaming ball
coming and he must catch it in his
hands and throw it before it burns him.
He may take any boy in the ring by sur
prise, and if that boy drops it he is not
only out of the game but he must pay
heavy forfeit for his careIessness.
This forfeit usually consists in making
the "fumbler" stoop over and allow
himself to be struck once with hat or
knotted handkerchief by each of the
other players.
When one ball is used up another g
Elighted and the game continues mer-
rily. Of course the players become
well blackened and sometimes just a
little scorched, but the intense excite
ment of the game makes up for all that.
Not only is this game played in the
south. but the boys of the north also
have hand at it. Instead OF cotton
they use the fluffy head of the marsh
flag, commonly known as the cat-tail.
which, as you know, falls apart when
dry in cottony mass. This makes
| just as good fire-ball as cotton. Where
cat-tails cannot be obtained sometimes
cotton batting is used.
| Right in this connection many boys
would doubtless be glad to know that
dried cat-talls make excellent torches.
The stalks should be cut as long as
possible and the heads of the cat-tails
well saturated with kerosene oil. When
lighted they will burn for long time
with flare that will Guido most ready
made torches. No doubt there are COM
panies of boys who would like to march
in the political parades of the present
campaign. If they do they will find
cat-tail torches a very great attraction
and they can be supplied at little or no
expense.-Chicago Record.
