The surplus in the English treasury
last year was just about equal to the
deficit in this country. England re-
duced her debt by fifty millions, while
this country's was increased by hun
dred millions. In other words the
Wilson tariff bill has profted England
to almost as great an extent as it has
injured the United States Under
Harrison's administration this coun-
try reduced the national debt and
kept every factory moving and every
man employed, while England was
troubled with deficits and idle facto-
ries. The democratic party has sue
ceeded admirably in reversing this
order of things.

The Mythology Was n Little Confused,

The man who, with his small son. was
looking over the collection Of statuary. did
not really know all about the different
works of art that came under their notice
But he was careful not to allow the fact
to become any more conspicuous than was
j absolutely necessary. They paused before
a figure of Atlas
"Who is that, father" the boy inquired
Il don't exactly remember his name,
was the guarded answer.
But what did he do?''
We'll, it's quite a story. It's a lesson
about being too selfish and acquisitive This
man lived ever 50 many years ago, when
making money was good deal easier thah
it is now. He got along first-rate. but he
was never satisfied. He wanted more. lie
started in by owning all the farms next
to his. and. by and by. he became the pro-
prietor of one or two sites for SUBURBAN
towns and several banks and many other
things. But he wasn't contented. So one
evening. when he was figuring up sum in
compound interest. Jove appeared to him
and said that he was tired of hearing his
constant complaints, and that II he would
make up his mind what he really wanted
he'd hustle around and get it for him."
THAT was nice, wasn't it?"
That's what the mortal thought. He
rubbed his hands together. and said: Here's
man, and I'm not going to let it get away
from me- So he summed 1t all up in a
lump and wished for the earth.''
Did he get it, father?''
Yes. Willie: he got 1t. And II you'll
notice carefully you'll see where. AS soon
as his neck began to get tired he tried to
beg Off, but Jove wouldn't have it, and
ever since that day his case has stood as
terrible warning to human beings not to
be too anxious to 'oyerreach their fellow

HER sANGuINE VIEW.
A Love Passage That Was Overheard
In a Theater.


They were at one of the Washington
theaters Monday night, occupying seats in

thus insuring lithograph ticket for two.
Who the young maiden of the story is the
chronicler Of this episode does not know.
but he has seen her in attendance at GER
tain academy where typewriting Is taught.
and she Is about old enough now to spell
love with all capital letters. The young
man in the story, however. the chroniclcr
happens to know, receives as much as
eight dollars a week.
Immediately about them there wasn't
anybody sitting until after the second act,
when the chronicler happened to drop into
the theater, and incidentally fell into the
seat back Of these two, and they were so
absorbed in themselves that they wouldn't
have known 1t II a meteor weighing forty
leven tons had banged through the roof
and dropped into the seat behind them.
Il love you SO much, darling; SO much"
was the gentle whisper which first called
the attention of the cnronicler to some
thing that was ever so much more interest
Ing than what was going on on the stage.
1t came from the young man in the most
rapturous tones.
How much, darling" she cooed back at
him, in the very faintest little coo.
Forty million dollars wortn,' he an
swered, after the extravagant fashion of
lovers.
'Sure?" she twittered softly, so softly
the chronicler could scarcely hear, and felt
ashamed of himself for trying to.
More than forty-nine hundred millions
WORTH" he murmured. slipping his hand
over and taking hers under the program
One could see her holding his hand as
intensely as he was holding ners.
'Oh, Harry she exclaimed; that makes
you a multi millionaire. doesn't it, and we
can go right away next week and get mar
ried, can't we?"
Upon which the chronicler thought 1t
was about time he quit acting as an ac-
complice, and he coughed close at the back

"Then maybe you won't appreciate it, and

A HASTY ASSUMPTION.
Indignation of a Husband That Went
Entirely to Waste.

Entirely to Waste.
The Washington man had very little to
say during the time between his arrival
home from business and the dinner hour
AS he and his wife sat down, she remarked
Il suppose you made some bets on the
election?"
Yes. he answered. testify. Il made some
bets on the election, and what is more,
lost every one of them"
She raised her eyes, fixed them on him
with a strong expression of disapproval,
and said, rather sharply:
Il told you So"
'Of course you told me go That's the
historic last word that every woman is
privileged to have whenever a man makes
q mistake. There was only one time when

1T went 1 said to you that / was going to

other word. You can taunt me as much as
you please; you won't have the satisfaction

She went on in the same monotonous tone:

FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
A Client Makes a Speech That Win,
His Cnae Mt Once.


L went into a country district in Mary
land few days ago. to try a case" said a
Washington attorney to a Star reporter
Il appeared for the plaintiff, and 1t must
be confessed that the evidence failed to es-
tablfsh his claim. 1 presented the matter
before the justice of the peace in the best
light l knew how, but had very little hope
of securing verdict. My client, when l
finished. whispered to me that he would
say few words If 1 was willing, and con-
sidering the case lost, consented. 1t was
the most unique speech ever heard, and
1t won the case. He said:
Squire, brought this suit and the evil
dence, except my own. is against me.
don't accuse any one Of lying, squire, but
the witnesses are the most staken lot of
Fellows L ever saw. You know me- SQUIRE
Two years ago you sold me a horse for
sound, that was blind as a bat I made
the trade and stuck to it, and this is the
first time l have mentioned it. When you
USED to buy grain, you stood on the scales
When the empty wagon was weighed, but 1
never said word Now, do you think /
am the kind of a man to kick I'D a rumpus
and sue fellow unless he has done ne
wrong" 1t took just five minutes for the
justice to decide for the plaintiff"
