A CHILD'S PLEA.

sven years walked timidIy into a New
Jersey police court room the other day
8nQ asked for the man who sent my
mamma to jail" The judge happened

'..Ve miss what she wanted. Tears
Fane into her eye as she turned to the
00ge and asked, Did you send my
mamma TO jail9I When told her meme,
ue Judge recalled that a shor5 time be
VIE he had sentenced a woman to Jail
1 sixty days for drunkenness and told

WHY RAzoRs GROW BLUNT.

The finest grade of razors are so
delicate that even the famous Damas
Gus sword blades cannot equal them in
texture, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t is not generally known that the grain
of q Swedish is so sensitive that
its general direction is changed after a
short service. When you buy a fine
razor the grain runs from the upper
end of the outer point in a diagonal
direction toward the handle. Constant
strapping will twist the steel until the
grain appears to be straight up and
down. Subsequent use will drag the
grain outward from the edge, so that
after steady use for several months the
fibre Of the steel occupies a position ex-
actly the evers Of that which it did
on the day OF purchase.
The process also affects the temper of
the blade, and when the grain sets from
the lower and outer point toward the
back, you have a razor which cannot
be kept in condition, even by the most
conscientious barber. But here's an
other. curious freak that will take place
in the same tool: Leave the razor
alone for a month or two, and when
you take it up you will find that the
grain has assumed it's first position.
The operation a be repeated until the
steel is worn through to the back.

worst came we would have nothing to
fear. No nation could conquer us. nor
could any allied nations, for our ma
terial resources are practically mex
haustible. We have no vital center
whose seizure would mean conquest.
And consider, as we have been told,
the tempting opportunity that would
thus be presented by such an enemy to
it's European rivals. We need not fear
that any nation will declare war on us
unless we aggressively and defantly
invite the onset. We have the further
advantage that here the people are
king. We decide our own destinies.
We need no arguments. In Europe
every toiling workman has to carry a
fully armed soldier or sailor on his
back. We r un~burdened. We re-
quire only the instruments of peace.
The idea, for instance, that an occa
slonal war was necessary to awaken in
material Americans the heroic spirit,
or the lower idea that business inter
ests required the periodical stimulant
of military operations, is nee
We have q striking instance in the
Venezuela case of the unwilIingness of
a first rate power to enter into hostili,
ties with America If the cause of
English concessions was the menacing
attitude of Germany, it proves the
more clearer the danger to European
nations engaging in transatlantic ag-
erosion. If this was not the valid
cause, it shows at any rate their
patience before taking the final, ire
vocable step. With Eogland especially
our relations should be cordial and
friendly. I trust that I am no blind
admirer Of England'smagniicent traits
regardless Of her colossal infirmities.
But a war between England and
America would indeed be f~ratricidal.
If we, the greatest commercial rivals
in the world, could permanently agree
upon the peaceful settlement of our
differences, what a triumph this would
be; what an example to sister nations;
what q service to mankind. In 1887 a
memorial signed by 234 members of
parliament was presented to our presi-
dent by delegates representing 700, 900
trades uniOnists. The memorial prayed
for arbitration. Our congress, and
France, Italy, Spain and Norway,
passed resolutions to that effect, repre-
senting the will of $50, 600, 900 people.
At last the question has come home
to the people, to the national con
science, to the individual character, to
the earnest citizens of the land. They
will, when the time comes, decide, /
am sure, according to their truest
thought and deepest faith for this
"open sesame" to the golden age. May
that time come speedily Of which the
dreamers dream and the prophet
prophesy, when the sword shall be
beaten into the plowshare and the
spear into the pruning hook. Nation
shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
And the earth shall be filed with the
knowledge of God as waters cover
the g .-Brocton Diamond.

BELONGS TOy:THR GRAVEYARD.

A printer walked into a certin store
in his rounds and noticed q drummer
standing by the counter with sample
case ready to open. Anything you
want to say in the paper this weekG"
said the printer to the business man
behind the counter. NO." said the
business man, Il don't believe in ad-
vertising." The drummer waited IN
til the printer vas half way to the
door, then slowly taking up his sample
case he remarked, well that let's me
out, l don't care to sell on time to any
man, who, at this age does not believe
in advertising. I prefer to deal with
live men. When l want to strike up a
trade with a dead man I'll go to the
grave yard. Good day. Selected.
REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
Married men reflect just as much as
bachelors do, only they don't dare do
it out loud.
A woman's idea of an indulgent hus.
band Is one who never asks her what
becomes of the chance.
You can always tell a college girl by
the terrible struggles she makes to pro,
nounce the R in February.
When a woman wakes up cross and
out of sorts, she has generally heard
her husband talking in his sleep and
couldn't make any sense out Of it.
Some men are so satisfied with them
selves that when they are ghosts they
won't see anything funny in the in
scriptions on their tombstones.
After two women have discovered
that they both tried to raise plants in
the house but the gas killed them, they
always kiss each other when they
meet.-NeW York Press.
