ROYAL PHRASE-MAkING.
zine Speeches Made by Monarchs of the
Past and Present.

Fine Speeches Made by Monarchs of the
Past and Present.
Phrase-making two or three genera
lions ago played an important part in
French politics. Louis XVI. had lit
erary prompter who used to prime him
with phrases and plan for him scenes
such as would excite the peoples admit
ration.
Your majesty will soon be going to
the races said this prompter one day.
You will find notary entering the
bets of two princes of the blood; when
you see him, sire, make the remark:
What is the use of this man? Ought
there to be written contracts between
gentlemen? Their words should be
enough"
The scene came off-the prompter
saw to that-and the courtiers ex-
claimed: what happy thought!
How kingly! That is his STYLE"
Another scene, more likely to impress
the populace, was planned by this
prompter. A sledging pleasure party
was arranged for the king. just as it
was about to start several carts passed
by, carrying wood to the poor of Paris.
These are my sledges!" said Louis,
pointing to the loaded carts, and he de-
ciined to join the party.
Talleyrand coined for Louis XVIII.
the remark which he was reported to
have used on the day he entered Paris:
There is nothing changed; only a
Frenchman the more in Paris"
AS matter of fact, the king did not
trouble himself to utter the phrase;
but Talleyrand inserted it in the jour,
nails of the day that the people might
fatter themselves that their king had
forgotten the past, and consequently
there would be no change.
Perhaps the most striking phrase ut
tered by a modern king was spoken by
King Humbert few years ago, when
the cholera was raging in Naples. lie
had been invited by the municipality OF
Genoa to a banquet, which he declined
in these words: "Men are feasting at
Genoa; men are dying at Naples &c
to Naples. "-Youth's Companion.

bines the principle of the well known
separator, so far as removing the
cream from the milk is concerned, but
the butter is produced from the cream,

milk, separating the cream and con-
verting IL into butter being done at the
same time with the one machine.

FEMININE sHREwDNESS WON.

How 1t Happened That the Pretty Girls
Musical Talents Reacted Against Her.
She was visiting in the city, and she
was the prettiest girl in the room.
When she stood up to sing the other
girls regarded her enviously. A pretty
girl who can sing is doubly dangerous,
and they considered that the visitor had
already received more than her proper
share of masculine attention.
While she was arranging her music
and whispering to the accompanist the
two girls just behind the piano were ex-
changing condolences.
81 do think it's shame" said the
first girl, vexedly. "She's captured all
the men already with her airs and
graces, and if she sings well-and l
just know she does-we won't have
bit of fun tonight"
90, yes, we WILL" answered the sec
ond girl, smiling happily. "We'n be
all right"
But the other wasn't to be so easily
consoled.
81 wonder who asked her to sing?"
she fretted. "It must have been some
one who knows all about her little
tricks, too, for all the girls in the club
are talking about it."
81 asked her." said the second girl,
calmly. you'll know why in min
ute. Just wait Bit"
Two minutes later the first girl
leaned over the other and touched her
arm.
"Why, she makes awful faces" she
whispered, delightedly. "She's posi-
lively ugly when she opens her mouth
that way"
81 know it." responded the second
girl, with a satisfied smile. "That's
Why 1 asked her to sing"
"You clever darling!" exclaimed the
first girl; and only the fact that there
were others present kept them from
hugging each other as they urged the
visitor to sing again.-Chicaoo Tribune.

Nh. Tawker in reminiscent mood,
IL and this particular Thanksgiving day
was no exception to the rule. So full, in
deed, of reminiscent thoughts was he that
he failed to notice the subdued air of excite
ment about his wife. When the dinner bell
at last rang he took his place dreamily at the
table.
"Ah! this is very different from the old
time Thanksgiving days." he sighed; really,
It's enough to disgust man with life. Why,
even the turkeys are smaller than they
used to be when was boy down in In

'em would have filed the middle of this

name was Ebenezer, and she called him
Neezer for short-"your fathers family was

much for two people"

NAVAL COMPARISONS.

No wonder the military and naval
powers of the world are looking on the
growth of the United States navy with
amazement. 1t has only been little
while since they were all saying, all
but Great Britain, that the American
seamen were a lot of undisciplined ma
rines, and their ships were unwieldly
and poorly handled.
Now they are taking lessons from
American seamen in naval warfare,
paying tribute to American ingenuity.
placing their orders with American
shipbuilders for war vessels, drawing
inspiration from American pluck and
courage.
And when the work in hand is fin
ished, our navy will take front rank.
We have now thirteen battleships
with tonnage of 1854 tons, and
shall have sixteen of 1914 tons, and
orders are being filled for three more
tons. We now have nineteen unar-
mored cruisers of 1000 tons, and will
have six more of Ii, 900 tons. The total
fighting strength. of the navy now is
1OS vessels of 3S6, 934 tons, but the i'm
mediate increase will bring it up to 115
vessels of 42S,434 tons.
a year ago the United States held
sixth place in the naval array of the
world, Great Britain, France, Russia,
Germany and Italy having heavier
tonnage than we, although Italy had
not so many vessels.
There was Great Britain with 3S1 yes
sells and a tonnage of 1858, 7S3; France,
165 of 1872, 663 tons; Russia, III of 531, 1856
tons; Germany, 10 Of 1925 tons; and
Italy, IS of SCI, AS tons.
When all the ships now building, for
this and adj the countries named, shall
have been completed, the United States
will take third place in fighting
strength, second in equipment and first
in the condition of battleships, which
latter is conceded by eminent naval
authorities of Great Britain.
No wonder the powers are becoming
interested.

WILL VICTORY BRING PEAcEq

Aguinaldo's overthrow is near at
hand. 1t is impossible to hold out
against the rapid assaults of the Amer
lean troops. Today, in all probability,
there viii be a fight at Bocave, north
of Marilao.
The rebels will be defeated, of course,
and will retreat to Maiolos. the insur-
gent capital. Here Aguinaldo, his
TROOPS and allies will make a final
stand. 1t is believed that a decisive
battle will be fought at this point, and
that Aguinaldo will be unable to hold
his forces together after the drubbing
he is sure to receive.
Those who are best acquainted with
the situation do not believe that peace
will be restored with the end of the in
surrection. Lieutenant Calm of the
Fourteenth infantry, whose interview
is given in the press dispatches printed
this morning, has, just returned from
Manila. He says that the capture of
Malolos will be the last regular battle
with the Filipinos, ''but it viii be long
time before the insurgents are con-
quered-a matter of years"
Captain Farrell of the First Califor-
MIA is well acquainted with the insur-
gents, and has but recently returned
from the islands. Interviewed by the
Associated Press, he says:
There will be several pitched battles,
and then Aguinaldos army will be dis
persed, but the American army in the
Philippines will have to contend with
guerilla warfare for several years to
come"
These are the opinions of men who
know the people, their feelings and
their natures, the lay of the land, the
opportunities for outlawry and the diff
ffculties in the way of dislodging the
natives once they scatter and find
refuge in the hills and swamps.
1t looks very much as if the United
States has undertaken a big contract
in restoring peace on the Philippines.

CRITICISING BRYAN.

Judge King is out in an interview in
the Washington Star criticising Will
liam ]. Bryan for declining to take part
in the Tammany banquet presided over
by goldbug and a repudiator of the
Chicago platform.
The judge regards it as a political
rather than a social function, too. And
no wonder the goldbug Star makes this
comment on the ex-congressman's in
terview:
Utah being one of the states where
everything is supposed TO be for silver,
and King being a recognized free-sii-
YER Chicago platform Democrat, it is
somewhat significant that he assumed
an attitude toward this matter exactly
contrary to that occupied by ". j.
Bryan"
The Star needn't be surprised or at
tach any particular significance to the
judges criticism Of Colonel Bryan. 1t
has only been day or two since he
declared in the Washington Post that
he, rather than Utah's Legislature, rep
rerented the sentiments of the people
of the state.
1t only requires another stretch Of
imagination for him to supersede Bryan
as an exponent CT Jeffersonian Democ-

TURN THE PARTISAN DOWN.

Mayor Clark did not disappoint the
Tribune last evening. He nominated
Arthur Pratt as chief of police
But the council refused to confirm
the appointment. The majority is not
in favor of a politician at the head of
the police department. There are many
places for the politicians. The fire and
police departments should not be given
over to them.
So long as in ense and bitter par
tisans, active and persistent politicians,
are placed in charge of these two de-
partments. lawsuits and quarrels and
double salaries and decentralization will
be the city's portion and the taxpar-
ers' burden.
Councilman Morris made strong
and telling speech against Pratt's con-
1irmation. His arguments are unan-
swerabie. He showed up the grasping
nature, the personal motives, the self
ish nature, the meddiesome disposition
of Pratt as evidenced by his drawing
more salary than the ordinance says he
is entitled to, by depriving Emery of
q chance to draw a portion of his pay
while on sick leave, by installing his
own minor son in the sick mans place
and raking off wages himself, and by
other similar actions.
1t is enough for Democrats to vote
against Pratt because he is an enemy
Of the Democratic party; it ought to
suffice for the Republican members of
the city council to recall that he fought
the ticket upon which they were elect
ed; it seems that non-partisans would
oppose him on the ground that he is a
radical and an offensive partisan; but
Councilman Morris gave other reasons
which should satisfy the mayor and the
council that Arthur Pratt is not a fit
and proper person to be chief of police
Of Salt Lake City.
Now let the mayor appoint some man
identified with the force, if he deems
it best, but one who is not an active
and pernicious mischief-maker, or a
politician; a man who is known to be
cool, calm, careful, methodical and ac-
quainted with the work to be done;
a man who is not apt to become swell
headed over the promotion; one who
has no axes to grind, no relatives to
reward, no bosses to serve, no interest
in the checker game of partisan poll
ties, no desire for the place except to
do his duty and serve the public.
When this is done there will be peace
in the police department. Until it is
done matters will continue as they have
for the past few years.

ANOTHER SECT STARTED.

Francis Nichols of Minnesota, who
has organized a religious sect called the
Brethren in Christ, says that all the
human race except the one hundred
and forty thousand in his sect will be
eternallv lost.
This is the old-fashioned idea. Nearly
all sects felt that way about it a half
century ago. They were intolerant Of
each others opinions, Indifferent as to
each others fate, self-satisfed, ex
tremely Dious. and as selfish and un-
charitable as humanity can be when it
tries.
Most religious denominations have
outgrown this littleness. Very few Of
them consign others to endless punish
nnent or total humiliation. Once in a
while some sect of fanatics springs up
and imagines they are the only pebbles
on the beach of eternity, just as this
Minnesota community is taught to be-
lieve, but the world generally is out
stripping such fogies and narrow no.

New Woman's New Idea.
(MilWankee Sentinel. J

She was society editor. and she was
brand new at her work, else 1 doubt if
she would ever have ventured to do it.
1 came across her at a reception that was
being given at one of the clubs-a mans
club, not woman's. She was in the re-
ception room, and in some way or other
she had contrived to get the women to
fall into line and pass in review before
her, so that she might get a brief de-
scription of their costumes. It was one
of the funniest sights imaginable. The
society editor had her notebook and pencil
out, and she stood at the end of the line,
scribbling away. and scanning her sub
jects at intervals. AS she finished the
inspection of one, she would flip over a
page, look up and say, Next" where
upon the woman who had been scrutin-
ized would pass on, and the woman behind
her would step up. Every one was In
sober earnest about il, and the way in
which that enterprising journalist dis
patched the line of waiting women was
an object lesson to her sisters Of the craft.
whats the use of not being business
like?" she demanded. I believe in sys-
tenn.
