The state convention of Hibernians at
Keene Tuesday adopted the following
resolution, which can be interpreted as a
thrust at the dark-lantern methods of the
A. PA.
Resolved, that we renew our pledge to
the Constitution of the United States and
to the maintenance Of American institu-
tions. We denounce all secret political
action. Whatever abuses exist, or reforms
are desired, should be discussed fairly in
the open court of American public opinion.
Truth loves the light, while falsehood and
conspiracy are generated in darkness and
secrecy.

Restaurant Nomenclature.

The walters vocabulary is constant

rs frog legs are "song-and-dance men "
German walters, as a rule, are not ac-
customed to use slang, but they have n
few authorizations that are very ex-
pressive. As everyone knows, there
can be no greater breach of etiquette
or more sorrowful admission of weak
ness than TO order glass of water in a
German place. The restaurant has wa

never offered to q customer If he
wishes it he must ask for it. Then the

Old Indiana Whisky,

In 1S4S, so the story goes, two-gal'
ION jug of whisky was put in one OF
the columns of Forsyth's old court
house. 1t was the gift of Roberi
Church, who was barkeeper there
at the time. Several OF the old citizens
remember the circumstances and
state that the whisky was really placed
there. The old courthouse is soon to b.
torn down and the village folk nrp
wrought up over the proposition as
to who is entitled to the rare old liquor
The county commissioners have re-
ceived several offers for the ancient
,anglcfoot, but have not yet concluded
TO sell. Some of the citizens suggest
that the liquor be placed on tap in a
public place; one dollar charged fol
each drink, ten cents per smell and fiv5
cents for peep. The proceeds are tc

ENGLAND SHORT OF SAILORS.
In Case OF War Two Hundred ships Could
Not BE Manned.


Look at the. plain facts of the case.
Parliament provides for about $4,000
seamen and petty officers, excluding
officers, boys and marines. Now it is
tcalculated that il we commissioned all
our existing battleships we should alb
sorb the whole of these $4,000 men ex.
cept IL 900 That is, we should have
$4,000 men to man over 300 cruisers,
gunboais, torpedo-destroyers and all
the other craft ON which we have spent
so much money in building. But the
cruisers take quite as many men as
the battleships and are quite AS impor'
tant. The idea of 10000 men to man
them alone is utterly ridiculous. We
might, with the aid of the reserve, just
manage to man some 30 of them and
about 70 gunhoats and torpedo de-
stroyers. That done, we should have
the pleasure of seeing some 200 vessels
lying idle and useless in our ports,
monuments of our futility and want
of common sense. This is what would
happen as things are now. If we add
half dozen more battleships and ten
more cruisers, and 30 or 40 more small.
or craft, without adding more men
we shall simply be increasing the
block of useless ships in our docl,
yards should war be declared.
That this is no wild or sensational
talk may be shown by reference to !;
single fact. When our fleet was mo
bilized last year, our harbors were full
of ships that might have gone to sea
but could not, because there were N,
men to put on them. Practically WI
had used up all our men, and still hat
dozens Of good ships left over - O
ships, that is, good for service in every
way, and not mere survivals from early
days. But even this does not disclose
the whole weakness of our navy in the
matter of men. Even il we had enogl
men to man all our ships, and we pu
them on the sea in case of war, w,
should not be in a proper position, be-
cause we should have no reserve. Con
t,dering the loss of men, not only II
action, but by disease and ordinar!
causes, you must, unless your war il
going to be merely six-weeks' picnic
look forward to your crews gradual,
shrinking and wasting away. But thG
shrinking means the need for renewal
and the need for renewal means fore

In other words, reserve for film!
up the gaps is absolutely necessary
and that reserve must be of large di
mansions. 1t is no good as at preseIl
to have few thousand men called tn

SOMETHING ABOUT PRINTING,
Some Curiosities About the Art Preserva-

China, the "cradle OF the arts claims
the honor of the invention of printing.
Away back in the year 500, nearly 1,0oc

were using the "bloclS system" of print

before Europe had become acquainted

versed in the science OF setting movable
types than were the American printers
IF the days of Benjamin Franklin
The "block system" of printing, which
was so well known in the flowery king
dom less than six centuries after the
birth of Christ, did not find its way to
Europe until about the first of the
18th century, when devotional man

few lines in printing, became popular
These cuts and printed lines were taken
from engravings made on a single
block, the very earliest-dated specimen
Of that character made in Europe bear

There is still a question MS to who
was the first European printer to use
the movable types. 1T is not question
us to what European invented movable
types, for it is known that the honor
belongs to the far east. The honor
of being the first to adopt the system
appears to rest between Laurenz Cos.

MY LITTLE WORLD.

Ny little world--it lies away
Ger meadows musical with May,
Fast pleasant fields where wild doves wing
And birds breast-deep In blossoms sing,
And morning glorles climb and cling.
And there loves banners are unfurled;
Love reigneth DER my little world.
4 pray you, mark in fields and glens
The curly-headed citizens!
On every brow the morning CLOVIS,
And every pattering footstep knows
The way to white realms of the rose
And still their steps, where'er they be.
Make pathways to the heart of me.
And 10! in fireside lights serene
Her gracious majesty, the queen!
She weareth loves own diadem;
Her gentle hands no Jewels gem,
But love bends low and kisses them.
Sweetheart and mother-friend and wife,
Queen of my world and of my life!
FARE with me to my little world!
The sleepy citizens are curled
And cuddled now In snowy cots;
The twilight shades the garden plots,
But not these sweet forget-me-nots!
For they are smiling in their dreams,
And on my world the morning beams!
Fare with me to my world, and rest
There where the love Is sweetest-best;
No shadows dim its wall of light,
No clouds drift DER Its morning bright
Whose rosy rays bring Heaven In sight!
Enter from thorny ways and sad,
And kiss the queens hand, and be glad!
