William r. Cox, secretary of the Sen
ate is said 20 be one of the swiftest writ
ers of long hand in the country. Al
though he has never tried his speed IT is
nearly equal to that of the average short
hand writer.
Mr. and Mrs. ]. N. Brown have beaten
the record Of travel in the Klondike coun-
try. They recently made the trip from Big
Salmon to Skaguay, 272 miles, IN SIX days.
Their home is in Dawson and they Will
return there in February.
-Chauncey NJ. Depew will not lay aside
his facetiousness when he goes to the
Senate. He considers it one of the most
effective styles and says chat under cover
of a humorous speech things can be said
that would have to be omitted in serl-
Gus talk.
in a biographical sketch of DR.. Jo-
seph Wood, the new head master Of Har-
row. one of the greatest of English boys
schools, it is stated that he has never
shrunk from the use of the cane, believ-
ing it to be a practical and salutary meth
od of overcoming schoolbOy tendencies to

Jacob H. Schiff of New York is given
credit for being the most philanthropic
Jew in this country. Mr.. Schiff is one
of the few men of the land who gives an

statement.

Another on Kipiing.

There is one hotel in rockingham, the
White Horse by name and il is kept by
an old fellow named Welfare, says the
Philadelphia Call Rudyard Kipling fire.
quently passed his evenings with this Wei
fare, and together they smoked and ham
mered politics. Now, Welfare was strong
radical, and Mr.. Kipling, as is well known,
is an advanced imperialist One can mag
inc, therefore, that these were spirited
meetings. In a while Mr. Welfare fell
i'll. Mr. Kipling called just as usual. and
he would sit by the bedside and talk As
before, they bolted politics and talked
crosswise and flung lances. Now, ii was
the practice of the doctor to call quite late
and take his patents temperature, and
he always wondered to find him, in what
should have been the quietest hour of the
DAY, heated and perturbed. This went on
for several days-the doctor wondering,
Mr.. Kipling arguing and Mr.. Welfare ig-
niting-until the maids let out the secret
of the nightly discussion. Then the sur
geon came to the writer's house.
Mr.. Kipling,' said he you must call
no more at the White Horse"
why not?" said Kipling,
Because" said the doctor, you are
killing the landlord On Monday when
you had gone his temperature increased
seven degrees Tuesday it increased eight
and last night when l called it had gone
up nine. At this rate you'll burn the house
down"

OlymDia's Chaplain Bested Sharkey.
Father Rainey. chaplain of the United
States steamship Olympia, with Dewey,
figures in a Story that comes from Pom
tiac, Mich, the home of his sisters. says a
Toledo telegram to the Chicago Chronicle.
II is one of Tom Sharkey's boasts that he
suffered fstic defeat at the hands OF
Father Rainey, and OF which he is proud
Sharkey was sailor on the Olympia
and one day, while enjoying a friendly
bout with a companion, Father Rainey ap-
peared and the fight was called off.
Don't stop on my account" said Faith
er Rainey, Il enjoy that kind of sport
and guess, Tom you will have TO put the
gloves on with me some day."
A few days later time was called for
the two in the messroom. When they put
up their hands there was a look of sad
ness on the sailors face as he made a
little punch at the chaplain's breast. and
when he was countered on the nose Tom
laughed. The sympathetic look then van
ished.
Sharkey made another jab, which was
neatly stopped, and a punch on the ear
put him on his mettle. Tom lunged, struck
right and left, tried all the tactics he had
used on his mates, but to no effect. Faith
er Rainey was too clever. He would meet
the sailors rushes with a singing punch
on the nose or short ribs until when time
was called Sharkey acknowledged his de-
feat.

A Matter of Early Training.

Marie Anne de Boret, in talking about
the absolute hopelessness of trying to rea-
son with servants. tells a good little tale
that l am sure every woman with any
sort of a servant will appreciate, says
Harper's Bazaar.
A friend of Mile. de Borets, who wrote
very clever novels, was trying 10 explain
to a new femme de chambre that she must
not come and interrupt her at every other
moment as she was fond of doing.
Now, when you are sewing" she said,
land you are called away from your work,
you can go back and take it up just at the
stitch where you left it. But if 1 am dis
turbed in my writing l can't pick up again
the thread of my thought"
The girl said she understood and went
off. Pretty soon she was back again.
What is it, Mare?' asked her mis-
tress.
well, madame" said the maid, fumb-
ling awkwardly at her apron, IF I dom
know how to do anything but sew it's be-
cause l was never taught to do anything
but sew. If I'd been taught TO write books
l could write books"
The writer of novels said no more.

shafter,s Luck.

They tell all sorts of stories illustrative
of Gen. Skaters good fortune, says a
writer in the New York Press. After be-
ing honorably mustered out of the volun-
teers, in 1866, he retired to his Michigan
home to resume business at the old stand.
But the excitement of war and the pleas
ures of camp life for four years had left
so strong an impression that he could
not remain quietly pursuing the avocation
of a civilian. He applied for appointment
to the regular service asking for a cap
taincy, I believe. By error of a clerk in
making out the papers, he was slated for
a lieutenant colonelcy, and the authori-
ties, rather than expose their carelessness,
hushed the matter up and let it go at
that For three years after his appoint
ment Shafter was unassigned. All he had
to do was TO lounge around and draw
his salary. Then he went to work, re-

OUR INTERESTS IN SAMOA

Our interests in Samoa are not very
great. If We should lose whatever foot
hold we have in the Samoan Islands the
loss would not be a serious one. There is
no probability, however, that we shall re-
tire from the islands. Their importance
consists chiefly in the fact that they are
on the route from Hawaii TO Australia
and afford an excellent naval station. 1t
is expected that the recent trouble in the
islands, growing out of the claims of rival
chiefs to the throne, will soon be adjust
ed. 1t is the understanding that Germany
will abide by the terms of the treaty of
Berlin, and that is all that the United
States and Great Britain can reasonably
ask her to do. 1t is probable that there
would have been no trouble of a serious
character if Germany had not encouraged
Mataafa, the chief against whose claim to
the throne the chief justice of the islands
decided, to get possession of the govern
meut by force. II seems that the majority
of the people favor Maiaafa, but the chief
justice held that Malietoa Tanus was the
rightful king. The ground for this
hNtASAoH - tlON yet Known an this
country. 1t is supposed to be a
good one, however, as the chief justice
is known to be a man of ability and high
character There are thirteen islands in
the Samoan group. only three of which
are of much importance. The number of
inhabitants is between 10000 and 80 600.
The number of American subjects on the
islands is only &C. The number of Ger
mans is 100, and of English 20S. There are
about as many Frenchmen as Americans.
and of other foreisners there are, %. The
bulk of the imports are supplied by Great
Britain. the value of the imports from the
British empire in 1897 being about $l75 900.
In the same year the imports from Ger
many were valued at about $4,000, and
from this country at about S55000

An effort Is being made in New York to
secure legislation under which drug clerks
will have shorter hours. Il Is claimed that
they are overworked often being compell-
ed 10 be on duty for ten TO fifteen hours
ana sometimes even longer, and that at
night in their exhausted physical condi-
ton they make mistakes in filing prescrip-
tons Edward Thimme, secretary of
drug clerks organization, is quoted IN the
Tribune as saying that one hundred per-
sons are killed in New York every year
because the overworked drug clerks put
up prescriptions incorrectly. If that is
true, then il would seem that some remedy
is, indeed. wanted, and wanted quickly.

smnII and Great Griefs.

"A small boy of my acquaintance" says
a writer in The Boston Transcript, STOOD
the other day taking a lesosn in feminine
human uature-not his first lesson, but a
bitter one-with quivering lip and deeply
perplexed face. He exclaimed, having ref
erence 10 his still smaller sister:
Dolly cries because don't do a thing.
and when l do it, then she cries because
do itp'
This was true and natural, but the boys
remark was not so profound as was an
anecdote which l once read in the French.
A WIFE so this story related, was awak-
ened by her husbands weeping and howl
ing in the middle of the night. He was
evidently having a dream, and she awoke
him and asked what was the matter.
" Oh tmy dear" he said, rubbing his
eyes. 81 dreamed that you were deadr
Ha! she said bitterly, and turning
away from him, great griefs are mute !"

Two women have received votes for the
office of United States senator, in the con-
tests which are now pending. One of
them is a member of the legislature of
Utah, a Mormon, and the plural wife of a
brother of George Q. Cannon, and the
other a Mrs. Hughes. a member of the
Nevada Legislature. Mrs. Cannon is nom
inally Democrat. The probabilities are
that the men Who voted for them did il
merely for the novelty Of the thing. There
is no likelihood that either of the women
will be elected.

A Kansas legislator believes that the
people of that state are not competent to
take care of themselves and that there
fore ii is the duty of the state to take care
of them. He says the Kansas people are
of a speculative turn of mind, and think
nothing of morlgaging their homes to get
money with which TO prosecute some wild
scheme. He proposes, therefore. to save
them from themselves, and has introduced
a bill invalidating all mortgages which
may be given or received on and after the
date of the ratification of his bill. Exist
ing mortgages or renewals of the same
are not to be interfered with, but there
are to be no new mortgages in Kansas, If
this reformer can have his way.

John F. Lebaron, civil engineer, who
was for some time engaged on the Mica
rauga canal survey, says that he discov-
cred third practicable route for canal
across the isthmus, that 1t Is shorter and
easier than either of the other routes. and
that to construct a canal by it would cost
s22.OO0O0 less than the Nicarauga route.
Would it not be wisdom on the part of
Congress to hear more Of the Lebaron
route before committing Itself irrevocably
TO one Of The others?

The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem.) objects
to the people being driven TO accept ex-
pansion. 1t says; THE Philippine ques-
ton might run awhile without harm to
anybody. There may be great deal of
valuable information after the new COM
mission gets through with its work. Those
who are opposed TO absorption now may
become anneXationists after they are in
possession of all the obtainable facts.
There are many thousands of intelligent
and patriotic people who are in an impress
sionable state of mind. They do not want
to be driven to a conclusion. The greater
the attempt to hurry them, and sneer at
them, and even bully them, the more sus-
picious are they of the new scheme of
broadening our possessions on Oriental
lines"

reputation In the Senate not only as de-
batter, but also for looking promptly and
carefully after the interests Of his consti-
tuents. He Is ciassed among the ablest
members of that body. and when he deliv-

about the best on that side of the Philip
pine question, and has been widely and
favorably commented upon He showed a
mastery of his subject that surprised both
friends and opponents A few more such
speeches and he will be looked upon as the
leader of the Democrats in the Senate. The
promptness with which he looks after mat
tiers to which his attention is called by his
constituents is steadily increasing his pop

not know the difference between a capias
