why She Called Him Back.

The other week a collier living at Wgan
left off work early and hurried home to
tell his wife that his mates at the pit were
going to have trip to Blackpooi in the
afternoon, and had invited him to go with
them, says Spare Moments.
Not being possessed of much money at
the time, he entreated his wife to lend him
half a crown to add to his own store; but
his wife said
mo 1 shan't gle thee owt; tina mum stop
at whoam.'
IF tina dusna, All goo an dreawn mis-
sell" he replied.
As she still refused he at once set off
down the street, but he hadn't gone far
when his wife went to the door and shout
ed out for him to come back. Thinking
she intended to give way, he walked
cheerfully back to her, fully expecting the
half crown, but judge of his surprise when
he got up 10 her to find her with two seven
pound weights in her hands
Before he could speak she said he had
better put them in his pockets to weigh
him down a bit when he went into the
water.

Sir Thomas Upton was passenger on
an East Indian steamer, bound for Ceylon
about a dozen years ago While in the
Red sea the boat was disabled, and il be-
came necessary to throw OVERHEARD a part
Of her cargo. Upton was an interested
spectator of the preparations for tighten
ing the ship. He suddenly bolted the
scene, and by a 70 dicker with the chief
engineer secured a stencil, paint brush
and pot of black paint. Then, to the
astonishment of the captain and passen-
gers, he cheerfully labelled each box and
bale thrown overheard, Use Upton
Teas" The cargo, of course. foaLed
ashore, and for miles in Araby and other
lands the natives saw that legend. Sub
sequently the passengers of the injured
steamer were compelled to abandon it and
take to small boats. On reaching land Sir
Thomas was the first to make a cable Of
flee and wire the destruction of the boat
and safety of the travellers to London. The
message was signed Upton" OF course,
his name was in every English newspaper
the next morning signed to that MESA ge,
and he was the best advertised man in the
kingdom.

WHY THIS DIFFERENCES

There is no doubt that Gov. Tanner of
Illinois violated the constitution of the
United States when he used the militia
of his state to prevent citizens of Ala
bama from settling in Illinois and earn
ing a living there. Why was 1t that the
attorney general of the United States did
not inquire into this violation of the CON
stitution?
1t. is noticeable that he was prompt to
inquire into the question as to whether
any federal law had been violated in
South Carolina the other day, when an
election riot occurred near Phoenix in that
state. Why was he so prompt to attend to
his duty an one case and so neglectfuI of
it in the other? Is it not just as neces-
sary that the federal laws should be re-
spected in one state as in the other?
He found that no federal law had been
violated In South Carolina, but would he
have found that the Governor of Illinois
did not violate the constitution If he had
made an investigation of the tragedy
which occurred in that state? The chances
are he would not. sun the affair in South
Carolina has his attention, probably be-
cause it is a Southern state while the at
fair In a Northern state-an affair much
more outrageous from any point of view
is allowed 10 pass unnoliced.

AN INTERESTING POLITICAL sITUA-
TION.

The country outside of Pennsylvania is
not deeply interested in the politics Of that
state. and yet there is much in that state s
political affairs that is deeply interesting.
1t Is well known, of course, that the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania are divided as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of returning Mr.. Quay
to the United States Senate one faction,
led by John Wanamaker, regards him as
the most corrupt politician that ever fig
ured in the politics of the state. The
other faction is in doubt whether he Is the
bad man his political enemies say he is,
but they know that he is the most astute
politician in the whole country, and they
want to keep in the political arena.
1t is well understood that Mr.. Wanna
maker wants to succeed him in the SEN
ate. Mr.. Quay has announced that he Is
candidate for reelection. The other
DAY ne offered a reward of $4,000 for infor-
nation that would lead TO the conviction
of any person Offering 10 bride members
Of the legislature 70 vote for senatorial
candidates of the person offering the
bride. This was a shot aimed at Mr..
Wanamaker. Two years ago the Quay
faction declared that Mr. Wanamaker at
tempted TO get the senatorial seat that
was finally given TO Senator Penrose. OF
course Mr.. Wanamaker has always strenu-
ously denied that he ever undertook TO
bride his way into the United States SEN
ate. But, not 10 be outdone by Senator
Quay, he has offered $4,000 for information
that would lead TO the conviction of either
bribe-taker or bribe-giver in connection
with the approaching senatorial election in
the keystone State.
Political morals must be at a low ebb in
Pennsylvania when the political leaders
have SO little confidence in the honesty of
members of the legislature of the state that
they offer rewards in order to keep them
from accepting brides. If the members CT
the legislature had a spark of pride they
would repudiate both Quay and Wanna
maker and elect some one who didn't re-
gard them as bribe-talxers. They will do
nothing of the kind. however 1t may be
that Quay and Wanamaker understand
them much better than they are under
stood by the people outside of the state

A few days ago in Louisville, KY. one of
the judges of the criminal court made
some statements from the bench relative
to the escape of murderers from Justice
which are applicable TO other places than
that city. He said that he frequently left
the court room completely broken down at
the failure of justice. Continuing, he said:
IF the verdicts were added up in murder
cases and averaged with those who were
convicted of stealing during the last year.
since l have been on the bench, 1t would
be found that those accused of murder es-
capped with lighter punishment than those
who have taken property. This court is
forced to the conclusion that human life.
therefore, on an average is worth less than
$40. 1t does seem that human blood is a
drug on the market. If poor devil breaks
a show window and steals loaf of bread
be is sure 10 get the full extent of the law.
but man may blow off the head of a wo-
man or quack may kill some poor girl
and go free or get off lightly"
This is a severe Indictment of a great
city like Louisville, but it is not the only
city of which the same thing can be said
with equal truth. The judges are not TO
blame, neither are the prosecuting officers.
The blame rests with the people from
among whom the jurors are drawn. The
communities which permit murder to be
committed almost with impunity are lack
ing in moral tone. II is a question whether
the ministers and newspapers of these
communities do their full duty. The muir
derer, be he white or black, should be
punished promptly, and when such is not
the case it is pretty certain that the com
munity in which the murder was commit
ted holds life cheaply.

The recent death IN London of Harold
Frederick, the novelist followed by the in
dictment of two Christian Science healers,
who attended him, has served to arouse
interest 10 the queer sect. What is Chris

leaders of the sect in New York says IL
Is applied Christianity; Christianity car
ried into the daily life and exercised at
all times and in all works of man." OF
the alleged power to heal possessed by the
Christian Scientists. Mr. Lathrop says the
power is derived from spiritual inter
probation of the scriptures. Go We forth
heal the sick said the Saviour TO His
disciples. 1t must follow that in Issuing
this command He delegated the power 20
heal to them. We read in the scriptures
that the disciples did heal. And there
is no record that the power to heal has
been taken away from those who believe
and follow in the footsteps of Christ" With
respect to the curing of diseases, Mr. La
throp says that Christian Science starts
out with the hypothesis that bodily all
ments are the effects on the body of err
ing causes in the soul, and "by removing
sin and fear, we heal the bodily ailment."
Space cuts no figure in the operations of
the "healers." The patient may be pres
ent or a thousand mics away; it Is the
power of prayer, and truth, and Christian
ity-it is the Divine power which makes
the cure. That. in short, is what Mr..

This list is believed 10 include every au-

there are a number in doubt like Nepaul,
in India, and Monaco. which are said to
be independent principalities. There are,
no doubt, still other obscure governments
in the interior of Asia, which are indie
pendent. but there are no statistics at all
trustworthy concerning such. A number of
capitals, like Calcutta Budapest, Havana
Manila, and perhaps one or two others, are
not technically capitals of autonomous
governments, but they are the seat of the
government which administers the affairs
of those peoples In fact, Budapest is as
much the capital of Austro- Hungary as
Vienna. Calcutta, also, is perhaps as much
entitled to be called the capital of an au-
tonomous government as Melbourne al
though the Indian government is on diff
ferent footing with the home country

all of them, together with Canada. have
really autonomous governments; that is to
say, they govern themselves.
