Thrifty George Cursor.

The Hon. George Curzon, who mar
ried beautiful Miss Letter, is decidedly
canny. He recently rented a country
mansion furnished, but without the
family plate, and so was compelled to
provide candlesticks for the house. He
tried to exact from the landlords agent
a pledge that at the expiration of the
lease he would take these candlesticks
off his hands at two-thirds of what they
cost. The agent demurred at first, but
when he discovered that they were ID
in number, of japanned tin and cost 4C
cents each, he solemnly agreed to pay
S4 for the lot when Curzon leaves.

SHORT, SHARP AND SNAPPY.

President Mckinley is doubtless per-
fectly willing to plead guilty to the
charge of excessive caution in the con-
duct of the war. Because our soldiers
are willing to give up their lives is no
reason why every reasonable precau-
tion should not be taken to prevent
needless sacrifice of life.
The only safe way in which Europe
can interfere in the war would be to
hurry up the surrender of Spain.
Comets and wars go together, in
popular estimation, if not in fact. 1t
therefore seems perfectly natural,
while we are administering licking
to Spain, for the Lick Observatory to
announce the discovery of new comet.
IfGen. Merritt doesn't hurry he will
find that all the fighting in the Philip
pines will be over when he gets there.
1t isn't so much their dread of losing
opportunities to obtain glory, as then
dread of salaries being stopped that
causes some of the newly commissioned
officers to hope against an early end
ing of the war.
