The Misft Artist.

A certain young man had a father, says
c. b. LOOMS in the Century. And the
father was an artist. And when the young
man cast about 10 see what he could do
10 support himself in luxury, he decided
to become a plumber.
Now, this was a natural craving of his
nature, for from his childhood he had put
off doing that which he had to do
But his father, who was a successful
artist, and therefore a hard worker
wished him to become a member of the
same honorable guild and he grieved that
his son should lean toward plumbing.
And his father took him aside and said
my son, my father was a Woodworking
artist, and his father before him, and
wish no son of mine to pursue so butterfly
a trade as that of a plumber. We have
always earned our bread by the sweat of
our brows and although bread has oft
times been scarce, yet there has been a
pleniude of sweat. Why depart from the
traditions of a long line by becoming a
plumber?"
And the young man made answer: "Fa-
there 1 have surrepttiously learned the
ing. And its emoluments are great do
not care for work, and the painting of pic
lures is hard work"
But the young man was dutiful, and he
studied art. And he became a mediocre
and unsuccessful artist.
For he painted like a plumber.

He Surprised the Lecturer.

and industrious, though well beyond the

looks more like a banker than a scientist
and in the subdued light of a lecture-room
appears al a distance like a young man.
Not dong ago he attended lecture in
brooklyn, ". Y, upon the higher problems
of electrical science, delivered by a p1o-
fessor with many titles and degrees. At
the close the speaker called for comments
and criticisms from the auditors.
Man. who was sitting wei back in the
hall, arose. and, quoting a long statement
from the lecture concerning a difficult
problem, asked if he had heard it correctly
with remarkable accuracy, sir" repli-
ed the lecturer. 'They are almost my
very words.
The inventor then clearly but cogently
tore the lecturers argument to pieces
greatly to the latter's establishment and to
the amusement of the audience AS he
sat down the lecturer said;
Il can hardly reply at present You

ject."

nRITIsH APPRENTICESHIP OF INTER-
FERENCE

The impression prevails quite generally
in England that an excuse is all that is
necessary for interference IN the war in
the Transvaal by a group Of the Continen-
tai Powers Of Europe. a disaster or Sc
ries of disasters 10 the British arms in the
TransvaaI would afford such an excuse.
Therefore IL IS probable that the British vi
not pursue an aggressive policy until they
are fully prepared to 90 50. With their
present force, being greatly outnumpered
by the Beers, they would run great risk
of being defeated if they were to make
the campaign an intensely aggressive one.
It is probable that the Boers understand
the situation quite as wen as the British
do. They are therefore pressing Them At
every point. They feel that they have the
advantage, and that whatever they can
do for their cause must be done quickly Il
is probable that President Kruger has an
understanding with some of the Contnen-
tai Powers which justihes him in expect
ing assistance OF some sort in the event
Of the Beers being able to make SUCH a
showing as would justify interference in
their behalf.
Russia and France are spoken Of as be-
ing the most likely to take steps in behalf
Of the Beers Some of the eablegrams
say that there has been conference of
a group of Continental Powers at which
it was decided to request the United
States to offer TO mediate between the
Beers and the British. 1t is doubtful,
however, If there has been any such con-
ference. If our government should be
asked 10 offer mediation ii is probable
that it would hesitate to comply with the
request 1t would of course subject it.
self TO a great deal of criticism if it should
refuse TO do so. but it would not like to
endanger the very friendly relations which
exist between the two countries.
Besides, this country and Great Britain
are in sympathy in respect 10 the move
ment that is going on for the dismember-
ment of the Chinese empire. Russia, and
in fact all of the Continental Powers
which have interests in the East are hos
tile TO American interests there. If the
Continental Powers were to interfere with
Great Britain in the Transvaal it would
not be because of sympathy for. the
Beers, but to weaken her in the East
That is one great reason why the United
States would hesitate to comply with a re-
quest from group of Continental Powers
10 offer to become the mediator between
the British and the Beers.
1t is said that the British people thought
it was going to be a picnic to compel the
Beers to comply with the British de-
mands, but that they have changed their
minds and are realizing that they have
undertaken a big job. They will stick to
it of course until they have finished it ac-
cording to their liking, but they will wish
many times before they have completed it
that they had never undertaken it,

ouAY And ROnERTs.

Are members of Congress making up
their minds as to what they win do in the
cases of Mr. Quay and Mr.. Roberts? lf
they are not they should lose no time in
looking into the merits of these cases.
Mr. Quay proposes to break into the
Senate by violating the constitution. The
Legislature of his state refused to reject
him to the Senate, and the Governor con-
cluded he should have another term in
that body whether the Legislature wanted
him to have it or not and SO appointed
him. But will the Senate admit him on
such credentials? There is no precedent
authorizing it to do so. but the Senator
is a big man in the Republican party and
the Senate is in the hands of the Republi-
cans. There are precedents against what
Senator Quay wants the Senate to do, but
the Republican party had record for find
ing a way of doing what it wants to do
Notwithstanding law and precedent If
the Republican Senate should seat Mr..
Quay, however, the Republican party
would likely hear something from the peo-
pie which would not be at all to its liking.
And there is Roberts! What is the
House going to do with him? He is an
acknowledged polygamist and the preach
ers and the women of the entire country
are protesting against his admission to
seat in Congress. viii their protest be
needed? 1t ought to be The nation has
put its seal of condemnation on polygamy,
and it would be an outrage to allow
man to be a member of Congress who
boldly asserts that he has several wives.
1t may be that he married his wives before
Utah was admitted into the Union, but it
doesn't follow on that account that Con-
gress should stultify itself by accepting
him as one of its members. The people
say that Roberts must be shut out of the
place to which he was elected ana their
will must be oheyed
