A story of remarkable patriotic inge-
nuity comes from Buffalo. Some mem
bers of the Grand Army crossed over to
Toronto, and were forced by the authc1i-
ties to lower the stars and stripes In ac-
cordance with the law, which demands
that the Union Jack shall be displayed
along with the flag of any other country.
They got a Union Jack and proceeded,
with Old Glory waving triumphantlv--
but the Union Jack was hardly larger
than a postage stamp. Perhaps this Joke
on John Bull will be able to penetrate his
pachydermous skin, and he will laugh
over II In week or two. There is moth

The indications for very large at
tendance at the state fair are so flatter-
ing that notable success for the exhibit
ton Is a foregone conclusion, providing,
always, that the weather is favorable.
The farmers In the territory tributary TO
Wheeling, in common with their brethren
throughout the country, are getting a
share of the prosperity which has struck
the agricultural regions, and as the farm
ers are liberal patrons of the state fair
even in hard times. 1t Is right to presume
that this year they will turn out In
greater numbers than for years past, and
that their exhibits OF the fruits OF thei
industry in the agricultural and live
stock departments will be unusually at
tractlve.
Wheeling merchants and manufacture
crs, and representatives of various en-
terprl,ea elsewhere are preparing
attractive displays, while the amuse-
ment features OF the fair will
be up to a very high stand
ard. To the people OF the three states
not only the fair association. but the
business men and people generally OF
Wheeling, extend an invitation to come
and see what Is In store for them, The
city Is large enough and hosptable
enough to entertain all who come, and
none will go away dissatisfied.

BosToN's WET SUBWAY
One Of the Inconvenience Of Under
ground Transit

Some little trouble was caused at the
subway stations today by the condensa-
tion of moisture there, caused by the
sudden change in the temperature in the
last forty-eight hours
In the recent cold snap the subway
became completely filled with cold air,
and all the steel beams and supports
of the structure were thoroughly chilled
through. Yesterday the temperature
went up suddenly, and all through last
night there was rain at intervals, and
melting snow all the time, causing q
great deal of moisture. BY this morning
the earth above the subway had become
pretty we'll warmed through, but the air
inside Of it and the structure itself were
still cold, and this difference in temper
ature caused a large amount Of the
moisture with which the air was charged
to condense on the roof Of the subway,
especially at the stations, where the
light wells made the difference in tenn
perature between the outside and the
inside still more marked, and offered
places for the moisture to collect.
The principal trouble was this morn
ing, when the greatest amount of wa
ter was condensed. In the vicinity Of
the light wells, and. in fact, to a certain

The Indemnity Was Paid

an old resident, bring to my mind the
fact that the United States, at one time

spirit that Germany did in demanding
an indemnity at the point of a gun. The
incident happened just after the close of
the war and was about the same kind
OF affair. The Brazilian government
had imprisoned or treated an American
citizen in some outrageous way, and the
American minister at Rio Janeiro. act
ing on his instructions, demanded an in
demnity. He was put of from day to
day, and finally from week to week, un-
til he made up his mind that he was
either going to do his duty or lose his
position, 80 he said nothing more about
the matter. but waited for United
States warship to anchor In the harbor.
When the vessel arrived he quietly
moved his effects from the legation to
the boat, and then announced to the
powers in Brazil that he had located
the United States legation on the deck
Of q United States warship. and that
unless that indemnity was Forthcoming
in three hours he would shell the town.

JUST ANOTHER woMAN's WAY
Her Characteristically Feminine Re-
mark Upon the Passage Of Time

A fat, fabby- checked man paced up
and down before a Main street dry goods
store, putting a cigar, held tight between
his teeth. His hands were thrust in the
pockets of his overcoat and black slouch
nat was crammed down on his forehead
as though in vain attempts to shield his
red face from the bleak wind. At inter-
walls he would stop short in his walk,
draw from his vest an open-faced gold
watch, and study it carefully. This had
been going on for some time and had
attracted the attention of a number Of
the clerks in the store.
DO you know what's the matter with
that MANI" said a floor walker in the
store, nodding towards the old man.
"Spects he wants his wife dat's in
here" answered the little darkie who
stands at the door, grinning broadly. ,
Another hour passed and the old man
was still pacing restlessly up and down
when thin little woman, laden with
many packages, came hurriedly out Of
the store.
John, dear" she exclaimed, catching
sight of the old man, now wasn't real
quick about it? You can't say all wo-
men have no ieda when to leave off shop
ping now can you dear?"
But John returned no answer-at least,
not just then.-Kansas City Star.
