An unhecded Motto.

'It's queer how some people will argue
and argue and put all their domestic
peace to flight disputing about the merest
trifle" said Mr.. Jawner to his wife one
evening according to the Detroit Free
Press. II was over to Tom Dawson s
the other day, and he and his wife got into
a regular quarrel over whether some little
tri1ing event Tom had been talking about
occurred on Tuesday or Wednesday. 1t
wasn't of the slightest consequence
which day it occurred"
"Well / suppose that Mrs. Dawson felt
that she was right about the day it oc-
CURED" said Mrs. Jawner.
"Wel what if she was?" said Jawner,
a trife sharply. at didn't make a
straw's difference whether 1t occurred on
Tuesday or Saturday"
"Why did Dawson argue about the
matter. them
"Wel, why did his silly wife make her
self ridiculous disputing about it?'
"She wasn't any sillier than he was"
"IIe was, too
"I'd like to know how you make that
out?"
Because she began the argument"
"That was no reason why Dawson
should keep it up. If he'd been a gentle
man he"
"FIe was as much of a gentleman as she
was a lady. It was very bad manners for

ut was worse manners for him to quar-
rel with her before a third party. Why
didn't he pass it over by saying lightly
Very well, my dear, perhaps it was
Tuesday,
because she felt sure ehat it happened
on Wednesday,"
What if it did? You've said over and
over that it was of no consequence when
cit happened"
Eyes, and that's what made Mrs. Daw-
sons interference so perfectly idiotic."
YES and that's what made Dawson's
performance so unutterably absurd. l

Il don't blame Dawson. If the thing
happened on Wednesday I'd hold out for
Wednesday, by George"
Eyes, you're just that pig-headed, John
Jawnerr'
"Pig-headed! I'd say pig-headed If I
were you, Mandy Jawner! People who
live in glass houses would do well not to
throw stones"
That's gentlemanly, now isn't it? You
and Tom Dawson would make a good
match for each other.

Go on insulting me-"
''You began it."

And the dispute in which Dawson and
his wife had engaged was tame compared
to that which now began in the Jawner
family regardless of the fact that there
was a cardboard and crewel motto on the
wall urging them ''Be Not Disputatious."

Fun in ShYIock.

AprOpos of the Merchant of Venice" re-
vivals Of this year, It is interesting to read
in the new book of anecdotical dramatic
history, "Shakespeare's Heroes on the
Stage" about the Shylocks of a former
century who played the character as
rollickIng comedy part. The author, des-
cribing the first one writes:
1t is gala night at Lincoln's Inn
Fields. and every one is intent upon the
stage The gay ladies in wizards have even
turned their flirting glances for time
away from the young galiants in the neigh
boring seats, while the serious critics of
London town. are forgetful of the notable
people around them in their contemplation
of the scene in front.
But then, the great Betterton is playing
Bassanio, and perhaps some of this alter
nation is due to the demands of this lead
ing actor. II is a noble cast in support.
There is Booth, splendid actor, as Ora
tiano; Verbruggen as Antonio; the coquet-
fish Mrs. Braceglrdle, with dark brown
hair and sparkling eyes, as Portia; and
Mrs Porter as Jessica.
But stay. Shylock enters. Can we be-
heve our eyes? Is this little, lively, red
wigged fellow to perform the part?
why, this is Dogget! Thomas Dogget,
whose songs and dances, and whose deli
cate acting have so often made audiences
roar with laughter. Already the smile goes
IOuliu lllG pay llOuSO. ICSs anu lilC e1StOA
assists the smiling. He glides peculiarly
along; he casts odd glances hither and
thither, rolling his eyes and twisting his
mouth in a ludicrous manner. He does
not, to be sure, attempt burlesque or cheap
guying, but every movement, expression
and turn of the voice is calculated to pro-
woke a laugh, and proves successful.
TOO true. Shylock is acted by the come
dian of the troupe, and is acted strictly as
a comic character. The great play of
Shakespeare which had completely dis
appeared from the stage after its author
death, had now for the first time returned
in 1901, and returned not only with its name
changed to The Jew of Venice with its
lines altered to suit the ideas of improve
ment of George Granville, but even with
Shylock entirely transformed.
THE die was cast. For a generation this
mangled version of masterpiece held the
stage"
This same Dogget, the first known Shy
lock, the reader learns further on in
shakespeare Heroes" is to-day best
known to fame through the really gener-
Gus bequest in his will. On the river
Thames, he said, every year on the first
of August there shall be held a race, open
to the watermen of London; and to the
winner shall be given AN orange colored
livery with a badge representing liberty
The color of the livery and the date (cele-
brating the accession of George l. to the
throne) indicate the strong political pro-
cIivltes of the WING actor. To this day his

The populists of Georgia want the cleo
toral votes for Mr.. Watson for Vice Pres
/ ident and they hope to get them with
democratic assistance. Their PROPOSE
ton that a fusion electoral ticket. having
on it seven democrats and six populists,
all of whom shall be pledged to vote for
Mr.. Watson for Vice President, will be
considered by the democratic executive
committee next Tuesday, a meeting of the
committee having been called by Chair
man Clay for that purpose.
What do the democrats of Georgia think
of the proposition? What action will the
democratic executive committee take
in regard to 1t?
At the late election the democrats won
a notable victory over the populists, who
were assisted by the prohibitonists and
republicans. Why then should they con-
slider the question Of fusion with the popu-
lists? Why should they abandon Mr..
sewall, their vice presidential candidate,
and cast their votes for Mr.. Watson? Only
a little more than a week ago the popu-
lists tried to wrest the state from the
feated. Now they propose that the vic
torious democrats shall vote for Bryan
and Watson, the st. Louis ticket. instead
Of Bryan and Sewall, the Chicago ticket.
They could with just as much reason ask
the democratic party of the state to per-
nit itself to be merged into the popuist
party
te. a., of ior
ing the electoral vote Of the state. They
may not be able to poll majority of all
the votes cast. but they have the legisla-
ture. and if they fail to elect the Bryan
Sewall electors the legislature will choose
them. The populists cannot get a major
ity of all the votes, neither can the repub-
licans, and there is no probability of a
combination of the popullsts and republ-
cans. Even if the republicans and popu-
lists were to unite on a McKin-
ley and Watson electoral ticket,
they couldn't poll a majority of
all the votes cast. What reason, then,
from the standpoint of practical politics,
is there for accepting the popullst propo-
sition?
And there are other questions that de-
mand consideration. A great deal of feel
ing was aroused in many of the counties
by the late election. That feeling still
exists, and thousands of democrats would
stay away from the polls and other thou
sands would vote the Palmer-Buckner
ticket rather than the fusion ticket. And
the future of the party! What effect would
fusion have upon it? We have no idea
what course the democratic executive COM
mlttee will adopt but it seems to us the
wisest thing for the democratic party in
this state to do is to stand by its own
ticket

Rare Presence of Mind.

Sir Andrew Clark, while travelling In
Italy, assembled a high tower one even
ing and found at the top another tourist,
an Englishman, says the San Francisco
Argonaut. They chatted pleasantly for a
few minutes, when suddenly the stranger
seized Sir Andrew by the shoulders and
said quietly Il am going to throw you
over" The man was a maniac. The
physician had only a moment in which
to gather his thoughts, but that moment
saved him. "Pooh! he replied, uncon-
cernedly, anybody can throw a man off
the tower. If we were on the ground
you could not throw me up. That would
be too difficult" Eyes, 1 could" retorted
the man.acl II could easily throw you
up here from the ground. Let us go down
and I will do it." The descent was ac-
cordingly made, during which Sir An
drew managed to secure help and release
himself from his perilous situation.

course in fighting Sewall, who stands as
the vice presidential nominee on the sill

Bryan, is a slogan that Mr. Watson has
encouraged overmuch We do not lose
sight Of the fact that in several speeches
he has declared he is for Bryan without
reference to his own political fortunes.
But assertions of this Kind on the plat

An Opening for the Indians.

Twenty years or so ago the government
kept garrisons at frontier towns, and
sent out soldiers from these towns to pro-
tect the people from the depredatons of
the Indians. 1t looks now as If the army
would have to be sent to the far west
again, but this time to protect travellers
and railroad trains from train robbers,
and quiet citizens in small towns from
bank robbers. Hardly a day passes
that a train is not 'held up" by masked
men. or a bank looted and one or more
of its officers killed by bank robbers.
These happenings in the far west, and
the silver agitation, make the
lot of the citizens of that glorious coun-
try a very unhappy one. Possibly If the
wild Sioux or the Pawnees we're let loose
from their reservations for a few months,
and given suitable encouragement in the
shape of Winchesters and cartridges, they
would put stop to train and bank rob-
bling. 1t is true the red skins might
scalp few silver mine owners and long
haired political cranks, but in the end
the country would be the gamer. The
Indians were doubtless created for some
good purpose. which possibly may be the
putting of the civilization of the far west
on a new basis.

Wall Streets Nervousness.
From the Springfield (Mass.). Republican
Und)

Wall street is in a terribly nervous
state over the political situation. 1t has
claims of Bryan gains in the central west.
But yesterday prices went bounding up
on Matt Quay's claim of 2f0 votes for Nc
Kinley in the electoral college and e. more
in doubt. Certainly there was no other
assignable cause for the sudden squirt. 1t
is a queer situation and offers exceptional
opportunities to political managers for a
successful speculation All they need to
do apparently is to dip in on one side or
the other and then make loud claims for
MCKINLEY or BRYAN.

who Rufus Bullock Surrendered To.
From the Charleston News and Courier
Dem).

The Chicago Tribune publishes a state
ment OF 1.-The Hon. Rufus Brown Bullock,
ex-governor Of Georgia, and previous to
that an officer in the confederate army"
as to his position in the present crisis. He
says: when 1 surrendered with Gen.
Lee at AppomattoX i'm April 1865, Gen.
Grant allowed us to take our personal be-
longings and our horses and return to our
homes, with the understanding that we
would recognize the supreme authority of
the United States and obey the laws in
force where we resided. This parole
have kept and l would consider myself
as now violating 81 II 1 supported at the
ballot box the Bryan party" Mr.. Bullock
is evidently under the impression that he
surrendered to the republican party.
Somebody should take the trouble to in
form him that Gen. Grant was a demo-
crat at Appomattox and that two of his
sons are out and out free silverites.

DR.. Thomas C, Craig, physician at the
Brooklyn navy yard, read a paper on
consumption before the annual conven-
ton of the National Sanitary Association
in New York the other day that contains
some startling assertions. He quoted a
British physician as saying that consump-
ton is akin to leprosy, and himself ex-
pressed the opinion that the disease
ought to be dealt with as rigidly as small
pox. He thinks persons with consump-
ton should not be permitted to use pub
lie conveyances, but that cars should be
set aside for them. In the meantime
signs ought to be hung in the street cars
reading: ANY one splitting in this car
viii be arrested and prosecuted" Con-
sumption is the cause of more deaths in
a year than any other disease known,
said DR.. Craig, and is one of the most
highly infectious diseases in the whole
catalogue Upholstered cars he declared
to be especially dangerous. as dried
sputum arises in the form of dust and
settles on the upholstering. from which
It Is inhaled.

to fear that Fitzhugh Lee would not up

the reason that he was on the losing side

discovering that so far from being lax,
he is really inclined to be a little i'm
petuous, though he is restrained by the
proper and wholesome conservatism of

Protection Closes Mills.
From the New York World (Dem.)

Mr.. Mckinley errs in saying that pro
lection never closed a mill or a factory"
There has never been year under a high
tariff when scores and often hundreds of
mills and factories were not shut down
to enable them to work off the surplus
stocks which tariff bounties had stimula-
ted greed to produce. There is not a mill
ing district or a mill town that will not
testify to this
