A DONNA TING FORCE.

The American peace commissioners
arrived at Washington from Paris,
Saturday afternoon, and at once deliv-
cred to the president the copy of the
treaty. 1t is said that that document
will be sent to the senate shortly after
the holiday recess, and the general
opinion is that it will be ratified before
March 4th. The commissioners de-
clined to talk regarding the work they
accomplished at Paris. All that could
be gotten from Senator Davis was that
the commission got all that it went
after. And in connection with this it
may be said, that the part that Senator
Davis has taken in the war and in the
arrangements for peace, should be a
matter of pride to every Minnesotan.
He has been dominating force in the
administration from the first, and has
had much to do in shaping things to
their present end. On thep peace commits
sion he has been the great force that has
helped bring things to successful issue
and caused Spain to finally back down
and accede to our demands. He has
from the first been close adviser of
the President, and in all his moves has
made no mistake. From the first he
has taken stateslnanlike view of the
whole matter, while his thorough
knowledge of international law and
questions has given him an easy lead
over his assoc ates. At no point has he

The Joke Ceased to be Funny.

People who were on the streets
on the Fourth of July may have
seen big man walking around with
a firecraker under his arm which
looked almost as big as its owner,
says the Sioux City Journal. Every
once in awhile he would place the
big cracker on the ground and make
every precaution for great big ex-
plosion. A crowd would gather
around at respectful distance-at
very respectful distance, in fact
and with bated breath watch the
man light the fuse. Then the fell
fow would run away from the big
cracker with scared expression on
his face, while the spectators held
their fingers to their ears and waited
for the explosion. But there would
be no explosion except the feeble
pop of a baby frecraker which had
been placed in the muzzle. Then
the owner would pick up the big
one, and with a pleased expression
on his face and the cracker under
his arm, would walk away in search
for new fields to conquer. The
cracker was dummy"
One man who witnessed this
clever performance thought be would
like little of the same fun himself,
and he thought his wife would be
a good person to make a fool of.
So he bought three dummies, :"
that is, he thought they were dunn
mics. He took them home and
proceeded at once to fool his wife.
He lit the first one right in the
dining room. AS the fuse sputter-
ed his wife became alarmed and
ran out in the yard. The man held
his post like hero and laughed at
his wife when the dummy didn't
explode. Then he lit the second
one. And his wife proceeded once
more to put a safe space between
herself and the dining room. AS
the second one failed to explode the
joker laughed long and loud
The wife returned to the house with
a rather sheepish expression on heI
face. The man thought he was
having just more fun than a little
bit. He slyly pulled the third
dummy" out of his pocket and lii
it. As the powdered fuse got neal
its end the wife suddenly came to
the conclusion that discretion was
| the better part of valor and again
maid for the back yard. The mis-
chievous husband doubled himself
up in laughter, but terrible ex
| plosion from under the table quickly
Strengthened him out. The "dummy'
wasn't any dummy. He realized
this when the table lit on the floor
again and the dishes fell crashing
about him. He realized it more
forcibly when he had to buy new
set of china.
