ton, which started the whole
Monroe doctrine discussion, is
using its influence to prevent the
resolution being pushed to vote,
on the ground that its adoption
would endanger the peaceful set
tlement of the Venezuela squabble.
But the greatest sensation was
the speech of Senator Wolcott, of
Colorado, attacking not only the
resolution reported to the senate,
but the Monroe doctrine itself.
The stock of sensations in this
question is not yet exhausted,
either.
While the urgent deficiency
bill, which carries $3,242,5S2 to
meet deficiencies in the regular
appropriations for U. S. courts,
and nearly million and a half
more to meet other deficiencies,
and which was this week passed
by the house, was under discus
sion there was some very plain
talk by members about the man
ner in which these courts are run,
and especially about the abuses OF
the fee system. To show that

less than two hours, one day this

had no opposition and, while i'm

N lllE ItAO1AA WI
We have at hand q small but interest
ing pamphlet containing an essay by an
u~p-to-date philosopher on the "Pursuit of
Happiness" in which the amazing theo-
nv il pr~opoundod, argued and supported
that while happiness may be pursued for
a life time the only way to catch 1t and
hold on to ii is to first learn what you
can have in this world and thercupon
want it with all your will.
The essayist argues not without reason
that by thus approaching happiness the
whole world, from the humblest to
the highest, from the poorest to the rich
est may be happy. instead OF being most
ly miserable as now. "we are In a per-
retual state of fret and torment, I" the es-
sayist points out. "Like children we
cry for the moon and decline to accept
any refusal as final. We complain of our
unhappy lot because Of untitled desires,
and it is the testimony Of the classes and
of the masses that this is a hard world
and that lie ia full of bitterness and dis
appointment"
And yet how simple the remedy. How
certain the relief The plan may be applied
alike to the discomfort arising from hav-
ing wet feet and from the jealous misery
OF icing less rich than our neighhor.
First find out what the world has In store
for you. then cultivate a desire for it so
strong that 1t makes your heart beat ev-
cry time you think OF it. That's all.
Don't wish for what you can't have.
Don't wish at all, unless what is TO be
yours is almost within your grasp. Then
want it for all your worth, and the de-
light OF acquisition will not depend at
all Upon the quality of the thing thus
wished for and acquired. And II, per-
chance, something intervenes at the last
moment to rob you OF what you had come
to contemplate as surely yours, n so to
long for, why look around you immedi-
ately for something else that promises to
come your way and proceed to want that.
Summed up, this philosophy OF happi-
ness Is to have the thought the father to
the wish, and, before that, to have the
thought a dead sure thing.

SHOT AND
Thomas Ripple Took His Wife's Life In
"a Most Horrible Manner.

Thomas Ripple Took His Wife's Life In
"a Most Horrible Manner.
New HAVEN, Feb. 1.-Thomas Il. Ripple,
n laborer, murdered his wife last night in
a fiendish manner. After firing a shot at
her from close range, he stabbed her with
u long bladed knife In both breasts. Tho
woman died almost instantly. 1t Is be-
lieved that jealousy caused Ripple to COM
NIT the deed.
The affair occurred about 7:f5 o'clock ut
Kippie's home on Silver street. Ripple
was lying on his bed while his wife was
getting the evening meal ready, and when
she callod him to supper, he went through
the kitchen, and invited her out in the
backyard, on the pretext of looking at
something he had there. The momen;
the woman stepped outside the door, her
husband pulled a revolver from his pocket,
and fired, the shot striking her in the
breast. Ripple then drew "a butcher knife
and plunged it into her breast twice.
A neighbor heard the pistol shot, and
notified Special Constable Lambert, who
was within a short distance Of the house.
Lambert found Hippo getting ready to
leave the premises, and after n brief
struggle he p'.ced him under arrest. At
police headquarters, Kippe swore at the
officers, saying they would find out moth
ing from him. He is 80 years old. and his
wife was four years younger.

Lions and Blood Poisoning.

The lion does not appear to possess
the wariness of a tiger. He will dash
into tied-up bait in the most head
atrong manner, needless of the hunter
seated behind screen of bushes, whose
presence with his keen powers of smell,
he cannot fail to detect. From what l
have heard and seen of his habits |
should say he was a bolder animal than
the tiger, but by that do not mean a
more dangerous one. In one respect,
perhaps, he is less dangerous than
either tiger or panther, for am in
clined to think it is not so much his
habit to feed on putrid flesh as either
of the two latter, and consequently does
not kill by blood poisoning after maui
ing his foe SO often as the other two do.
OF late years, since Africa has become
more accessible to sportsmen, one hears
frequently of lions getting the best of it
and leaving their adversary fairly well
mangled, but in nearly all the cases
