A Chinese Proverb.

Arthur III. Smith, in his wonderfully
bright, accurate and yet somewhat mis-
leading book called Chinese Characteris-
tics" quotes the Chinese proverb that
lone man should not enter IA temple, and
two men should not look together into q
well, adding: And why, we inquire In
surprise, should not one man enter tenn
pie aloneS Because the priest may take
advantage of the opportunity to make
away with him. Two men should not
gaze into well, for IL one of them is In
debt to the other, or has In his possession
something which the other wants, that
other may seize the occasion to push his
companion into the WELL Professor G.

THE FleRcesr BEAST OF PREY.

And woke each beast and bird to feed or play,
To pass i'm natures temple of repose
Their happy, harmless day.
When. crashing onward through the thickets
dun,
And strong with dreadful arts TO MAIN and
slay,
Took man the hunter, with his dogs and gun,
His devastating way.
Fear went before him with her visage wan,
And each beast owned his dread and ruthless
sway;
All natures children fed the face of man.
The hercest beast of prey.

prize fight in the very halls of the

prize fight in the very halls of the
Capitol.
We do not mean to say that all the
members of the Legislature are guilty.
of this piece of folly, but the fact that
a number of them witnessed the affair
and permitted the Representative cham
Der to be used as the scene of the
counter renders the whole Assembly
open to the gravest charges.
Monday night was the time of the
disgrace. The very scum of Dover
was sanctioned and endorsed in an en-
encounter which civilization has de-
nOunced.
What has become of the sense of the
propriety of things in the minds of
those Legislators who lent themselves
to such action?
If anyone else except the members of
the Legislature had had the audacity
to convert our Capitol into prize ring,
they would not have stopped short of
the summary punishment of the Of
tenders. AS a matter of fact, the act is
all the worse because of the sanction it
received. 1t is an insult to our people,
a disgrace and an outrage scarcely
equalled in recent times. The open
shamelessness of those present on the
occasion referred to is simply phenO-
menal. They deserve the sharpest re-
buke from their constituents.

The Treaty Killed.

The United States Senate, in its in
finite unwisdom, saw fit Wednesday to
defeat the arbitration treaty arranged
by the Cleveland administration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. The vote on the motion to
ratify was 4S yeas and 26 nays, or nine
short of the necessary two-thirds vote.
just how the absent members would
have voted is not known. We believe
the Senate has made a mistake, in
asmuch as the ratification of the treaty
and its final acceptance by Great
Britain could not have affected this
country in the wrong direction. Ar
bitration treaties between nations are
virtual agreement that peaceful re-
lations are to be maintained. This is
an era of diplomacy and not war.
Peace has far more supporters than
has war. While the defeat of the
treaty is to be regretted, we have no
fears for the future.

The Hon. J. Sterling Morton in the
April Forum, says: 'The day of re-
trenchment or the day of ruin for this
Government is awaiting the beOple of
the United States in the remote fu-
ture." The article states ''that the
cost of administering the Federal
Government has been so increased
that in 1890 with n population of sixty
two millions it was $4.7 per capita,
whereas in 1910 with population of
less than eighteen millions the per
capita expenses was only $1.41. In
stead of the ideal that every citizen
should support the government, null
titudes really hold that it is the duty of
the government to support the citizens
in Office, by contracts or by special leg
islation" What is true concerning
National affairs applies with force to
State conditions. There must be re-
trenchment or ruin.

DeIaware's Hall OF Representatives Was

1t has just become known that Harry
Stout and Enos King, two lightweight
boxers of Dover, gave boxing ex-
hibition on Monday night week in the
Hall of Representatives before, it is al
legged, the officers of the General AS
sembly and half-dozen members.
1t was to have been friendly match,
but Stout the heavier, undertook to
punish his opponent and gave him an
uppercut which made his nose bleed.
Mr.. Spicer, clerk of the House, who
it is alleged, acted as referee, is al
legged to have given King an opportunity
to recover himself.
In the second round King retaliated
by knocking Stout off his feet with
punch on the jaw. Stout came to time.
whereupon the referee is said to have
declared the match ended and Kings
nose was slightly swollen, while
Stout has black eye.
Another match had been agreed
upon for Tuesday evening at the same
place, but King declined to fight.
The above is as reported for the
Philadelphia Record.

Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means vast
ing away, and dyspeptives.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, or they
don't digest what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. This will help you to
digest your food and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
we'll known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. 1t
possesses great tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many
supuosed consumptives (who were really
dyspeptics) by simply helping their stomachs
to digest their food, thus giving them nour-
ishment and new strength.

laid on the cOrsage which is gathered
to belt: jacket fronts and shoulder
frllls are finished by lace to match,
while tucked white satin guimpe
gives completion and it may be added
that IN general, corsages of the heaviest
materials may show gathers. Great
tanclfulness arises from the placing to-
gether of the three leading colors, red,
green and purple. A dark purple wool
street gown has short, fancifully cut
jacket of red satin and a deep red wool
dress has fancy jacket of green vel
vet. Velutina also is much used for
jackets and other combinations, be-
