THE CREASED POLE.

The persistent attacks of the organ
of the Opposition upon Gen. Hartweu,
recall the story of Capt. Whistletrig-
gers monkey. The captain had planted
a long pole in his garden and upon
the top of ii, placed a cage contain
ing an eagle. At the foot of the pole
he chained a Brazilian monkey The
monkeys delight was in climbing the
pole TO the eagles cage, and in pulling
out his feathers. To check this mis-
chievous conduct, the captain kept the
pole we'll creased. 50 that when the
monkey struggled to reach the top of
it in the conscientious discharge of his
mission on earth to pull out the eagles
feathers, he invariably slipped back to
the ground, with much screaming and
vituperative language in the Simian
tongue. He was never, however, dis
couraged, and it became his daily occu-
patton and finally his pleasure to climb
the creased pole and slip back to the
ground with a whack. While the eagle
was rather Indifferent Capt. Whistle
trigger enjoyed it, and remarked to n
friend That blamed monkey is jutt
as happy when he slips down the pole.
as when he climbs it. He's pretty nigh
knocked off his tail, but he's doin' his
duty
The Dole Government has placed
Gen. Hartwell on the top of an unoffi-
cial pole. 1t is we'll creased. The OPP
position organ prompted by a sense OF
duty. faithfully climbs up the pole
every day in order to pull the General
down. AS it's ascent is always followed
by a rapid descent, with empty hands
but with an inspiring sense of duty
gratified the case stands, that the Gen
eral, like the eagle. is Indifferent, the
| Dole Government. like the captain
| watches the ascent and descent with
pleasure, and the organ, like the cap
tain's ape, is also happy. Is the morn
ing star Of peace rising over this com
munity?

FLATHOUSES IN MALTA.
Interested Capitalists Look to Amer

Fittings.

Valletta, the capital of Malta, has

the Maltese are delighted. One large
fathouse having proved a succeed, sew
eral more are about to be built and the
Maltese want to know just how the
thing is done in New York. The capt.
talists who are to build the fathouses
have been to John NJ. Grout, Jr., the
United States consul at Malta, and told
him that they want the latest thing in
electric outfits for flats, such as bells,
etc, and new ideas as to plumbing and
elevators.
Mr.. Grout says: II have had several
conversations with the men in regard
to their getting American goods for the
new buildings, and have explained to
them, as far as l have been able. Now
our fiat buildings are constructed and
finished and the fittings used. The re-
suit is that they have become interest
ed to such an extent as to request me
to get them illustrated catalogues and
price lists of goods appertaining to the
interior fitting up of the buildings of
this class, and especially of door locks,
hinges, bolts, window fastenings and

MAY EXECUTE ANYONE.
Possession of the Ching Fang Sword
in China Gives One That
Privilege.

1t is announced by the Imperial Ga
zette of Peking, the court circular of the
Chinese empire, that the dowager en-
press has presented two "Schang- Fang
swords, one to Prince Tsa Tschi, elector
of Tuan, the other to Prince Tsai Lieu,
III. grade.
These swords give their bearer the
right of beheading any man, woman or
child who may have offended him or
incurred his disfavor. He can perform
this execution without even a word to
the emperor and need make no record
of his victims butchery.
The idea of the sword, however, is
that it is safeguard against treason.
The bearer must instantly do away with
any one who may have designs against
the ruling family, and thus discourage
"lese majestic" at the same time it is
mark of esteem for those who receive
it.
The Schang-Fang sword dates back
centuries, still there is only one other
instance, besides the one just men
toned, recorded in Chinese history,
where this sword was given to anyone.
1t was presented on that occasion to the
Mon-Gol General Sai-Schang-ah by EN-
peror Hsien-Feeng, when, during the
Tai-Ping rebellion, that general dis
tinguished himself by exceptional
bravery and earned the rank of gener-
