Ri1ey's Jokes on HaIford.

j. WhitcOmb Riley did his first lite
airy work, in the early '70s, for the In
dianapolis Journal, under an assumed
name. The first pay he ever received
for a poem was a suit of clothes from
the late George Harding, of the Indian
apols Herald. About 1876 Riley went
East and was welcomed by Holmes,
Whittier and Longellow. The New
England newspapers made much of his
visit and when he returned he was q
hero.

nal man the other day, when Riley,
with his smooth, boyish face, slender
hgure, clad In sacerdotal garb, used to

desk and dash off nonsense verses in

handwriting that he uses to-day. 'Lige
Halford, now a major In the United
States army and President Harrisons
private secretary, was the editor, and
II used to be Riley's chief delight to
submit some of his most meaningless
Jlhgles to HalfOrd for the editorial
page. The Major, who never had the
slightest sense of humor, spent many

them.

missed with the assertion that the
crime Is of comparatively infrequent

The more that is learned about the
details of the abduction of Marion
Clarke in New York the more farcical
do the laws relating to this species of
crime appear, says the Chicago Times
Herald. In the case of the Clarke child
there was no motive except that basest
of all, desire to extort money from
the distracted parents. Does anyone
suppose for minute that the crime
would have been attempted If the law
provided an adequate penalty for 1t?

which the offense Is treated, together
with the possibility of large financial
gain, is an actual incentive to con-

THE DUEL ON THE

"A duel without doubt" said my
cousin; nothing less will satisfy him.
How did this ali happen?"
l then told my cousin how the mis-
take had taken place. | left my letter
on the chair and had taken up the cap
tains, which Jenny had left there for
him, believing it to be my own.
On learning what the captain had
said to me, he thought me very moder-
ate in my resentment of the insult, and
agreed with me that it was from the
captain an apology was due.
THE devil Of it is" said he, "the cap
tan Is such a good shot he generally

The founder of one of our agricul-
tural colleges, who was more noted for
having the interest of the public at
heart than for aptness of expression in
speech, was once called to be chairman
of a meeting convened to consider the
necessity of procuring ground for a
new cemetery. Gentlemen said he,

1t would be interesting to know by
what process the New England Judge
reached the conclusion that the rail
way corporation which killed Antonio
Petrillo must pay his heirs $40. Assum-
ing that he made on the average $500
a year, he represented capital of
$4,000 invested at per cent. Looking
at him not as a living being but as a
corpse, medical college would have
paid for him, had the railroad COM
pany not mangled his body, at least
$40 in cash, without the annoyance and
expense of a lawsuit.

The popular notion that a person can.
not have too much "education" was
vigorously assaulted by Coils p Hunt
ingt0n at the annual banquet to officia s
Of the Southern and Pacific Railway
Companies held at San Francisco. Mr.
Huntington, in fact, declared that the
cause of much of the distress in the
country at this time is generalization
Of the masses" In the course of his
address he is reported as saying
while preparation for professional
life requires advanced knowledge, it
seems to me that the vast majority Of
our young people spend too many of
their vigorous years of youth inside
schoolrooms and not enough in the
practical work of life" 1t is useless to
dismiss this declaration with the OBJ
servation that Mr.. Huntington is not
an authority on educational matters;
that he is more familiar with finance
and railrOading than he is with the
theory and practice of pedagogics.
There is just enough truth in what Mr..
Huntington says about the distress of
"Over-education" to entitle it to serious
considera ton. Mr.. Huntingtons name
belongs in the long list of Americans
who have achieved signal success in va
rious departments of endeayor-com-
mercial, political, Industrial whose
educational opportunities in early life
were very limited compared to those
that are offered to the youth of to-day.
1t is also noted in reading the biOgra-
phies of men who have achieved sue.
| cess in this country that a great many
! of them enjoyed the distinction of being
! at the foot of their classes in school or
! college The question raised by Mr.,
! Huntington'S observation is: Are we
| gradually substituting big and ponder.
Gus looking curricula for the genuine
"education' that developed the best
men of our times? Is the modern high
school graduate, who has been loaded
with Latin, trigonometry, botany,
chemistry and psychology, better "edu-
Gated than the country boy who has
learned reading, writing and arithme-
tic" but in addition to this knows all
about the birds, the beasts and the
crops, who has cultivated the mechan.
ical and constructive instinct by daily
use of the implements of the farm and
who has developed a strong body as a
vehicle for a receptive mind? The
question suggested by Mr.. Huntington
turns. therefore, largely upon the mean
ing of the word education" If it is
mere book learning acquired within
the walls of the schOOlroom without
much contact with nature, with men OF
with business. it will hardly be denied
that too much of it is a handicap rather
than a help in the battle of life. The
popular notion that book education" il
the sine qua non of success is already
crowding the professions and purely
polite pursuits of life far beyond legit
mate demands. 1t will take long tiut
to rid the public mind of the notion
that the boy that can carry home from

myself at my cousins house, my nerves
badly shattered by the excitement, and
my body considerably bruised; but be-
yond this no material injury had been
received.
During the evening my cousin in
formed me that he had seen Mr.. Sin
clair, and had arranged a meeting be-
tween the captain and me the following
morning at s o'clock on the mountain.
where we were to fight with pistols, at
thirty PAGES apart, one shot only to be-.
exchanged
Under the circumstances, though"
said he, II am justified in having the
matter postponed until you are better
prepared, and will see Mr.. Sinclair to-
night for that purpose"

The morrow came, and true to our
appointment, Mr.. Farrell and | proceed

the captain and Mr.. Sinclair awaiting
us. l noticed that the captain was ex-
ceedingly pale, and regarded me closely
as | approached.
The preliminaries were soon over,
and each of us took our stand, and had
the pistol given us. No effort at concil-
iatiOn was made.
The signal for firing was to be the,
discharge of a pistol by Mr.. Sinclair.
Mr.. Farrell stood to my right, encour-
aging me, Mr.. Sinclair about midway

He did not do 50, however, but,

me such an invaluable service as to

AdviceS from Manila announce that
our peace commissioners recently gave

there was a display of gorgeous ma

cerely desire to do everything possible
to promote love and unity in our new
possessions, but we cannot contem-

without feeling of restiveness. Some
Of the big newspapers have favored us
with a number of views of the new

we have no hesitation In saying that
they We're far more adaptable to the
requirements of the bathtub than to
the public usages of polite society. We
know that the weather there is warm
and that allowance must be made for
oriental social customs, and yet we
must contend that the thought of
Filipino executing the two-step in one
of these native costumes in a crowded
and brilliantly lighted room is not
pretty one. Indeed. we fear that the
couchee-couchee will not be sanctioned
by the moral element of this country.
Let us entertoin our new sisters and

Christian manner. If possible let us
have an ice cream festival or a church
fair or mite sociable, but no more
dances in native costume.
