Dupuy de Lone. Reformation,

Dupuy de LONE appears to have ex-
perienced change of heart, or of liver,
| or something. He has said that the
do is to repent and reform. 1t is to be
noticed. however, that he said this in
London
This is the same Spanish Don who
called our navy lot of old tubs that
could not get to China in time of peace,
who derided the shortcomings of the
American people, and made fun of the
President of the United States. He has
ashes on his head and sackclo.h all over
him. He says that the government,
the army and navy, the diplomatists.
and the party politicians have all
sinned. In short, he echoes the repent
ant formula of the Prayer Book. and
declares that he and his fellow-coun-
trymen are all miserable sinners.
1t is both pleasing and astonishing to
any people with a sense of justice and
of humor to witness this change. When
a man has flattered himself that he is
making fun of the country whose guest
he is. that he can turn the President of
that country round his little finger, and
that he can run the nation 70 suit him
self and laugh in his sleeve while he IS
doing it, it is particularly amusing when
in the modern street slang he is forced
to come down off his perch" In the
case of Senor de LONE, the descent
came perilously near being head first
And it is quite evident that he now un-
derstands that he is down, and that he
cannot laugh any longer. He is humble
and he is sorry. s ,
All the same, it does not take so very
much humility to acknowledge that one
has snned along with all the rest of
ones countrymen. Senior de LONE,
himself contributed considerable ma
teriaI to Spains humiliation, and while
he is rejecting on the general gloomi-
ness of things, it may be as well for
him TO put in a little personal. private
reflection on his own share in the mis-
takes of his unhappy country.

On another night the correspondents
were not so fortunate. Big news was ex-
pected and nineteen of them had congre-
gated on the White House steps TO await

But the Secretary escaped without the

BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest OF humanity. just
as they reached the middle of crossing
one OF those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped di-
rectly in front of cable car which was
rounding the corner. OF course the car had
no fender on 1t. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil-
dercd man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell. though. He jumped TO
the side OF the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yankcd him clear OF the
tracks and almost out Of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
hum out OF the way of an express wagon,
and. getting him at proper range at the same
time. he gave the poor man a kick that must
have driven his spine up INTO his hat. And
with the kick Quirk reared:
"Confound you. keep your eyes open when
YOU are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk
tottered TO the curb. sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
You are the only big enough idiot on
earth To save a mans life and then kick
him for it."-Chicago es-Herald
