The first speech by Richard Croker in this

The Depraved Butterfly

Medicine Moderne tells us of a demon
stration made by Mr.. Tut of London that
even butterflies may go on a spree. At a
public lecture Mr.. Tut shut up in case a
male and female butterfly with flowers Of
divers species Now while the female but
terhies quenched their thirst modestly by
slipping few drops of dew in the calyx OF
a rose, the males INDUCED in Characteristic
intemperance. They went straight to the
flower whose distillation produced the most
alcohol, and INDUCED in their juices till they
fell senseless where they stoood. The but
terhies were dead drunk. To further con-
vince his audience Mr.. Tutt introduced into
the case a glass Of water and several glasses
of brandy The male butterflies without
hesitation chose the brandy. The fact does
not admit of doubt. Male butterflies in a
state of freedom are often attracted by the
emanations of glass of gin that has been
left on garden table, and having drunk Of
it to excess sleep the heavy sleep of drunk
enness,-Literarv Digest

and a poet. As rule railways have em-
ployed any old writer, usually, in return
for pass, to do this sort of work. Mr..
Keeler was employed without any instruc-

book on Southern California. He was sent
all over this portion of the state and made
his observations closely, and verified all Of
his statistics, though do not imagine he
uses many of these. The result will be a
book, which while it will be given away,
will be worth place in any library, both

This feud between the managing editor OF
the Times and Frank Davis is assuming
alarming proportions.
A Layman'S Davis, | was told by
Ed,+oria1s an intimate friend Of
his, has became SO eX
cited about their differences that he has
formed the habit of writing hot editorials
born to bloom and wither unread, except
by his close associates, to whom he recites
them with the remark: "This is what ]
would say if had paper" There has also
been some talk of a gun play being possible
but that is not taken seriously. Editors in
Southern California are not often killed by
such means Mr. Davis will probably find
said to be about the warmest things of the
kind ever penned.

No Warrant for Bounties

Some of the Republican organs are advo-
eating subsidies as the best means to pro-
mote ship building. We pay no bounties
for the construction of railway cars. There
is as much warrant for them as there is for
subsidizing shipbuilders. With our wealth
of superiority in workmen. in steel and iron
manufactures, in timber and all other essen
tials, there is no reason why ships for ae-
commodating our vast and increasing exports
and imports cannot be built as cheaply. if
not more cheaply. by Americans than by for

given, but no schemes which the kaiser has
