THE FORCE OF A LIE.

The Literary Digest" relates an In
stance of how the press influences the
neople by the publication of spurious
conmuni cations. It seems that wnen
Jules Simon died the German Emperor
sent a message of coincidence to the
French President and to Simon's fam
ilv. But a news agency sent another
telegram purporting to come from the
Kaiser. in which William is made to say
that the disarmament which Simon de-
sired would have been boon to Ger
many and France alike, but that the
childish objections Of the Patriot
League had made such a thing impos-
sible. The Emperor is then made to
say. 'T bow down before the bier Of a
personal friend, who knew how to re-
press his patriotism for the interest Of
the public.
The news agency says that 1t received
this message through DR.. Rey, who
treated Simon. 1t discovered that the
message was fraud in ample time to
send notices to all the papers it served
warning them not to print 1t, and such
warning reached them all. But the
more sensational papers ignored the
notice, and with knowledge OF the fraud

IMMORTALITY AND THE STAGE


Mr.. Keith is one of New York's sue
cessful theatrical managers. Mr.. keith
has the courage of his convictions and
his experience, and does not fear TO
aatlv contradict those managers (and
they constitute the majority who de-
clare that the public taste and demand
IS what induces them to place the i'm
moral and half nude play and exhibition
upon the stage. Mr.. Keith says:
NV constant aim is not to allow any
thing on the stage by word or action
hat is suggestive of double entendre,
or which could be criticised by the most
axactjne critic. believe that the added
revenue supposed to be derived from

which the patron has no opportunity TO
sr,end one penny other than for his seat,
and the restrictions Of which are greater
than any other | know OF.
The Record Union" has always con-
tended that the plea of the managers
was not we'll taken: that they have done
more to corrupt taste and degrade the
stage than any other influence. They
are disposed to cater to those who want
the fsurtfuI drama and the immodest ex-
hibitiou. and not to the decency-loving
rublic. That the legitimate, clean and
helnful drama will justify the manager
we believe, and that 1t has been demon
strated in a host of cases we know.

That treaty with Great Britain for
permanent court of arbitration is to
be submitted to the Senate next Decem-
Der in all probability, greatly pleases
the New York Tribune" which says
that it would mean a judicial alliance
between the two nations. That is a
mild way of putting it. The Record
Union" six months ago said that such
a treaty would mean the practical an
nexation Of this country to England,
since 1t would utterly destroy our Dip
lomatic independence. The recent cor
respondence between the two countries
concerning this proposed treaty, how
ever, gives hope that the whole thing
will fall through. England's Premier
is not disposed to accept Secretary Oh
ney's amendment that prior to any case
going to the court Of arbitration it shall
be submitted to Congress on one side,
and to Parliament on the other, and
essary to transmit the case This is
not palatable to the English Govern
ment. What it wants is absolute ref
erence but with power to disapprove Of
the award. This course would not be
arbitration at ALL Secretary Olney's
plan reduces the proposition to specific
arbitration, and to that the Record
Union" sees no objection whatever,
while the plan of the English Premier
simply means a board Of inquiry, the
judgment of which shall have no ef-
feet if either party sees fit to bolt the
award. We trust that these distin-
guished gentlemen will continue to dis
agree

Don't Wet a Lead Pencil.

The practice of Wetting 9 lead pencil
on the tongue before using it is an I'M
clean habit, to say the least, and per-
haps also dangerous one.
A woman Of fine bearing and ele-
gantly dressed stepped into the count
ing room Of one Of the local papers a
few days ago to insert an advertise
ment. Having no pencil Of her own,
she picked up pencil which was tied
with string to a pad used for writing.
At once she moistened the lead with
her tongue and began to write.
An elderly woman who was standing
by reminded her that the pencil had
just been used by an old man, ragged
and dirty, greasy and filthy, who also
had contracted the same habit Of wet
ting the pencil on his tongue every
time he wrote word. The disguised
woman flung the pencil away and
scolded the young man. behind the
counter until he sharpened brand
new pencil for her use and benefit.
The habit 10 q foolish one. Instead
Of making the pencil write more freely
and easily,it hardens 1t and makes e
write blurred and irregular.

lead pencils great deal never damn.

It Is true that there Is great deal
Of levity INDUCED in when speaking
about book and paper farmers, but
what is the lawyer, until he builds a
practical knowledge on the foundation
which he receives In the law schools?
The physician is only theoretical when
he begins practice, but he has scien-
tifc foundation upon which to build
his future life and prospects. Should
not the farmer have the same founda-
ton? 81
Where can it be better acquired than
there? Here is a man who never at
tended an agricultural college, vet he Ia
q practical farmer; but 1t has required
40 or 80 years Of his life TO attain the
knowledge he possesses, and every 9TH
er farmer Is pursuing the, same course,
each independent Of the other. It was
waste Of energy, waste Of time,
and Il those men, knowing what they
do to-day, could have started out in
early life with all that knowledge, and
had that foundation TO start with, they
would have succeeded better.-L. j.
