OF the Spanish IN mister in publicly censurIug
Congress and attempting to interfere
with its deliberations. But there is a
difference between the bigness OF the
President and the voluminousness of Con
gress and. in Mr.. Cleveand's opinion, the
former largely outweighs the latter.
Except as evidence Of the sympathy OF
the American people for The Cuban cause.
the concurrent resolutions now before the
Senate wiz amount To nothing. To make
them effective they must be announced
by Presidential proclamation, and those
who know President Cleveland understand
that such a declaration viii not be made

dters has donned wadlng boots for a
trip to more eoHgeHial country.
Spain need not expend so much energy
In buster, nor should we allow the
American Adams apple TO sink too low
in Uncle Sans throat for fear Of war
with practically furious army of Don
Quixotes. If we are looking for trouble, it
is better to cast our eyes across the
Atlantic to the seat OF Great Britain's
stronghold. There is a possibility now
over the Venezuela dispute, which may need
considerable preparation, and Instead Of
wasting time over Spain, we had better
get ready for England.

New Yor11's Fire department.

& Every city in the United States
shows local pride in it's firemen. Each
claims that its department is one of
the best (f not the besD in the coun
try. The rivalry between some Of the.
cities is at times amusing, and there,
is much discussion upon the merits Of
their own fremen; but New York city
undoubtedly occupies the enViable po-.
sition of having, all things considered,
the most thoroughly equipped and most
efficient fire service in the world
The apparatus is of the best. The
horses selected with care and judg-$
ment, and magnificent animals;4 and
the men picked from those thought. to-
be best adapted for the work they
must perform, are subjected to a most
rigid physical examination before they
are admitted to the service, and after
ward are trained in school of instruc-ss

a number Of amusing stories are
told Of the peri formances Of the late
Shah Of Persia during his tour Of Eu-

Shah was expected to open the Man
sion House quadrille with the Prin-

this on the ground that she was too
thin, and in her place he led out the

The Coyotes Recovered Their Pups
An amusing incident occurred the
other day on the Lemon farm, near
Garfield, Wash. Burt Lemon and an
employe Of the farm were blowing,
when they came across three young
coyote pups which had not yet opened
their eyes. While they were examin-
ing them the old ones appeared, and,
approached to within fifty yards. Mr..
Lemon went to the house for a gum
and a sack, and placed the young ones
in the sack, which was tied up and left
in the field until time to go in from
work.
The old coyotes kept a srespectful
distance from the rifle, but lowered
around. Several turns Of the field
were made with the ploW, and finally,
when the men came in sight of where
they had left the sack containing the
young coyotes, they saw one Of the.
old ones with the sack, puppies and all,
streaking it%oyer the hill, and that was
the last seen of them Spokane.

the third time I came to different
conclusion. I don't believe in spirit

S. AT any rate, upon hearing the third
message my mind instantly reverted
to the huge box in the freight corner.

POINTS OF FUNERAL ET1auETTE.

Hearse Driver Drew the Line Mt
Smoking on the Seat
Funeral etiquette is a particular and
variable sort Of thing. 1t differs wide
ly in different partrs of the city.
There occurred yesterday an incident
affecting an Eighth avenue funeral
which wouldn't have happened to a
Fifth avenue funeral. Of the two
principals in the occurrence one was
driving a hearse The other was on.
an Eighth avenue car. AS the car
drew near the hearse the passengr
waved his hat and shouted:
Hey, Bill! How goes it these
days?'' S...9*
Hello, Jimv' replied the driver,
with grin Of recognition. .sIt goes
to Greenwoor.''
That so 2" said the other. .'Pul1 up.
I'll go along with you. ;S
He jumped OFF the rear platform,
where he had been standing smok-
ing a cigar, and went over to the
hearse. The hearse stopped, and the
entire funeral procession stopped. Up
climbed the new acquisition to the
procession, shook hands with his
friend, and took a seat beside him.
| The shearse started on, and the entire
line of carriages followed. Presently
I however, there was difficulty on the
hearse top. What was said wasn't
! audible to the passengers the ear;
but the gestures were easily intellig-
ible. Obviously the hearse driver was
expostulating about the cigar, which
had assumed defiant tilt in Jim's
mouth. He would pass the time Of
day from a funeral procession, Bill
would, and he would even stop to
take a friend up, but he drew the line
at having cigars smoked over any
corpse that was under his care.
With great expressiveness of gesti-
culations jim indicated that his cigar
was a good cigar, a 15-cent cigar in
fact, and he'd be smoked himself if
he'd shake it for any corpse. There
upon Bill shook his fist in Jim's face
and Jim shook his in Bills face. and
there was every prospect of some
casualties resulting. But better coun-
sells prevailed. With a very disgusted
! expression the driver pulled up his
horses, and the whole line stopped.
With great deli liberation his friend got
down, holding his cigar tight between
his teeth. The hearse moved on, and
the procession moved on. jim re-
turned to his street car, which had
kept pace with the hearse, and pro-
tested vigorously to the conductor
because he had to pay another fare.

QUICK LUNCHES Make FAT MI

Curious Result of the Habit Of Eat
ing in a Hurry
Another evil result to the deadly
quick lunch has come to light, and the
complaint has a foundation Of scienti-
1c probability. q
I've noticed 2 said man, ..that
every person who acquires the quick
lunch habit gets fat as soon as he
comes under the regular influence Of
the system. Men who have been thin
their whole lives have begun to acquire
noticeable stomac chs, and others with a
disposition to stoutness take on flesh
rapidly. It is perfectly plain to see
why it happens. These daily lunch
cons supply bread, bread, bread, the
most fattening thing man can eat,
unless it be the cakes and pastry that
supplement the bread. There is sugar
IN most Of the bread, and it is impossi-
bic to get any one thing in these places
which does not have a tendency ia
make man fat. I've watched it III a
dozen cases, and there has not been q d
exception It's all right for the thin
men, but for the fat men it's dreadful
It's SO much. cheaper for man to get
fat than to keep thin When he CONF
mences to diet and confines himself to
such things as meat and salads. his
luncheon costs him three or four times
as it would if he could eat the sand
Wiches and the cakes, and the quality
of the food is not so good. Some phil
anthrOpist ought to open o. lunch place
where a man can eat cheaply and still
keep his figure. But don't see how
he could make it pay. Something has

the money with which the miners We're

of June in that year the uperintendent

Grizzly Bill was name to inspire

unmusical sobriquet was an outlaw of
q great daring and resolution; he stopped
at nothing. 1t was, therefore, quite
natural for me to feel some little trep-
idation. I assured the superintendent,
however, that would do all in my

the mine superintendent by means Of
an assistant who was always at the

a message saying that it would be inn
