One Thing They Didn't Have.

E. H. Sothern tells good story of his
father, the famous Dundreary. When
ever the elder Sothern arrived at a
town. one of his first means of diver
sion was to stroll about the streets and
have fun with the natives. He was in
Chicago during its earliest days, and
one day he saw sign over an under
takers establishment which read:
Everything Furnished For First
Class Funerals. -
Going inside. he inquired, "Do you
furnish everything for funerals?"
Eyes, sir. 4" replied the clerk.
"Then want a coffin.
"Do you want carriages too?"
Eyes: have five carriages ready"
Certainly. sir. Anything elsef"
''Three dozen chairs"
Anything elser''
"You might have a hearse ready.
And now l would like to look at a
corpse.
The clerk was amazed.
"NOw," said SOthern, "you advertise
TO furnish everything for funerals. If
you can't do the thing thoroughly, 1
shall have to patronize another store. "
And. wishing the clerk good day, the
comedian departed.

MARK HANNA is not at all modest
about his power as politician in the
state of Ohio. Speaking of his COM
ing trip abroad for the benefit of his
health. he said: ut took great eff
fort for me to delay going abroad
until after the state convention, but
the convention is over and / can now
leave the country with clear con-
science" Mark. however, does not
seem to be as much concerned as the
rest of the country naturally will be
as to how Mr.. McKinleyis to get along
without him in running the nation.
Perhaps, though, the great boss felt
that the Philippine question being
likewise settled he could leave with n
clear conscience.

Ills Draft.

A Methodist minister visited the
Queen lane pumping station the other
day. When he reached the engine room,
the engineer said: "What I'm proud
est Of here is my draft. Here she is.
Look at her.
He raised a trapdoor in the floor, dis
covering a black hole about foot
square. and the minister looked in ca
gerly. Nothing whatever was to be seen,
but tremendous draft sucked in his
silk hat.
"Ha. ha, hal'' shouted the engineer.
Then he continued excitedly: Nov
you are performing an interesting ex-
perimentl Nothing could demonstrate
better the excellence of this draft. Just
watch that skyscraper of a stack
there"
He pointed to the lofty stack, and
even as he spoke the silk hat shot
straight up ont of it for 90 feet or so,
and then, like large black bird, sailed
slowly away down the wind.
"Goodby, my friend" said the min
lister. ''This has been, indeed, a grand
experiment, and 1 thank you for it.
My property, let us hope, will prove
unchanged. He then scaled a high
barbed wire fence and ran lightly over
the fields in the direction which his hat
had taken. Philadelphia Record.

The last crop report of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
shows that the wheat crop will be far
below last years unparalleled yield.
But the government estimates have
always been below those of the most
reliable private authorities. 1t is to
be hoped that the governments esti-
mate is too low. One of the reasons
for the great balance of trade in favor
of the United States in the past two
years has been the large crops in this
country and the small crops abroad.
The American farmer had a heavy
yield to sell. and the demand for it
was so great that he got fair prices
for all of it. and as rule when the
farmer has prosperity the country
has good times.

The vindication of Drevfus

The vindication of Dreyfus in the
face of the charges under the convic-
tion of which he has suffered fortunes
worse than death carries another evil
dence of the power of the press, to
whose persistency the proof was adj
duced which was responsible ulti-
mately for the development of the
circumstances which led to the reopen
ing and hearing of the ease by the
highest court in France, and the con-
sequent granting of another trial
which from present conditions it is
safe to say will result in absolute ac-
quittal. At the same time France is
left with blot upon her history
which should cause her to ever blush
with remorse. blot due to the preju-
dice and impulsiveness characteristic

A Sight For snckcIoth and Ashes

If there is one thing that America
has to be ashamed of. it is the neglected
state of her shipping, says Fl. Phelps
Whitemarsh in The Atlantic. 1t is a
disgrace to the nation. No wonder the
foreigner opens his eyes in Amusement
no wonder the ancient mariners of the
capes foam at the mouth when they
speak of it. The sight of gray old Sa-
lem, with its empty harbor, its desert
ed. rotting wharfs and not deep wa
ter ship to its name. The sight of this
historic port alone is enough to make
any patriotic American go out into the
