Pen Names Of Living Authors.

Every reader of novels and tales is

recent useful pubicaiion--"Who's Who,

others, a great number of them unfam-

Among these may be noted Sarah

A large class of noms de plume is made
up by the women who have taken mas

than the uncertainty in regard to the

There was a time when the Hon.
Cyclone Davis of Texas, seemed to be
the most Industrious Middle-of-the-
Road Populist in the world. but of late
Prof Bateman of Maine has borne the
belt He assaults the Hon. William
Jennings Bryan as cheerfully as IL his
object was pure fun without incidental
advertising, and promises to continue
the show indefinitely. At Nashville,
July A. Prof. Bateman is to make his
final rush upon Mr., Bryan. and at the
same time Tom Watson will toss the
Hon. Marion Butler. One OF the beau
ties of being a Middle Road
Populist is that there is very little COM
PETITION, and you can have the centre
of the stage most of the time. PROF.,
Blteman is nearly the whole of mis-

more than enough of him to SO around.

The Dummy Editor.

Japanese journalism" says mis-
sfonary's wife, rs a singular profes-
sion in many of it's features. There Is
no such thing as freedom of
the press in Japan. Whenever a news
paper publishes something unfriendly
to the government it is suppressed, and
the editor is sent to prison. The real
editor is never imprisoned, though.
Every newspaper has what is called a
dummy editor and it is his sole duty
to go to Jail every time the paper is
for offending the Mikado.
Then the real editor changes the name
of the paper, and keeps on publishing
it. Dummy editors spend most of their
time in prison.

Royal Ice Cream
lBoston Transcrlpt.)

The vision of the Princess of Wales
making ice cream with her own hands
fer the poor at the Peoples palace yes
terday puts in the shade by its high
light of practical human sympathy all
the spectacular barbarism of the jubi-
Ice show. To be sure it was only one
little freezerful that the future quee.
froze, ard of course ii was by a paten,
speedy process, but it was the friendli-
ness of the association that prophecies
what the new century must work fol
when Alexandra becomes queen. Roy
al and rich have to be sure quite as
much to learn as humble and poor IN
every phase of mutual association. but
The woman who in all probability will
one day be queen of England is on the
tight track. She has shown not merely
the old patronizing Lady Bountifui
spirit towards the thousands of Lon
don's poor, feasted by royal request
She has shown, also. the new-old. truly
Christian spirit of the sort of socialism
that says Come and be glad" moi
merely Take aims and modify your
suffering where | may not see it, If
Queen Elizabeth or Marie Antoinett,
played at any rural industry. it was
for the enhancement of their own
queenly attractions. The times
changed, and Victoria could do good
more-or generously. But Alex
andra is heress of the ages. and has
imbibed her share of the modern Cali
lean desire to know really of the life
OF those whom she would benefit. There
is nothing to praise in her bit of man
ual toll in turning that ice cream freez-
err, only it was symbolic. If all of the
thousands who had ices at royal ex-
rense could catch on practically to the
idea that they must individually work
to make the wheels of life and luck go
round and earn their good times, the
princess's ice cream would not be froz-
