The Itasca Mail oflast week

Toad" and argues that the
thrifty housewife should have
a few pet toads in the house
to eat the corkroaches and
other vermin. The toad is q
pretty bird, but Most thrifty
housewives would rather have
the reaches than the toads as
household pets. 1t would be
funny, though, to see the
toads swapping up the reaches.
Some enterprising man should
start a toad ranch SO that thrift
ty housewives may obtain the
best breeds.

The QUEENS JUBILEE.
Official Celebration of the
SixHeh Anniversary Of
Victoria S Accession.
Il BRIGHT PAGEANT.


stroke of 12 had not died away
in the midnight air when, from
a hundred metropolitan stee
piles, a tumuItuous peal of bells
announced Diamond Jubilee
day. The vast crowd that filled
the miles OF streets and squares
answered with ringing cheers
and here and there the singing
of "God Save the Queen"
The crowds that peopled the
streets aud squares all night in
the hope of a good view of the
procession today were amazing
in their sublime patience.
Waiting for twelve, fourteen
and sixteen hours, as many Of
these people are doing. damned
together, is a feat of endurance
that could only be sustained
by some overmastering desire.
Quite half of these jubilee wait
ers are women, many of them
with the pale, careworn look of
the LONDON worker, yet all en-

good nature.
Decoration for her majesty's
jubilee has been universal and
without stint. King Carnival
reigns in the queens capital.

and is unrecogniza bic except at
points where stately arcbitec-
ture, like that Of the house of
parliament and Westminster
Abbey, defes, with its noble
sobriety the decorators work.

to take up position was the

began at 8:45, and the great

The Question of FOrtifyinE Federal
Buildings.

The Question of Fortifyins Federal
Buildings.
From the Boston Pilot
General Miles has made a suggestion that
the federal building In Chicago be fortified
with Calling guns, whereupon the Spring
field Republican pertinently comments:
General Miles recommendation that the
new federal building in Chicago be fortified
receives the derision it deserves in that
city. The Times-Herald first mocks at it,
and then makes sensible remarks about the
United States government not relying upon
an overawed populace in order to exist.
Miles seems to have the notion that the
government is afraid Of the people, and
that the people hate the government. He
ought to know a great deal better. Rather
than insult the American people by thrust
ing fortfhcations and Calling guns into
their faces at every public building, 1t
would be far better to let them tear one
or two down. When this republic reaches
the pass Miles thinks it has, we will all
turn In and make him dictator. The Times
Herald also emphasizes a point that has
not been made conspicuous enough In this
connection. People have the impression
that Chicago is great place for rioting,
but the fact is that 1.-The business section
