FATTY BATES IN ms ELEMENT

N Y. Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Charles (Fatty'D Bates, originally from
a farm near Youngstown, Ohio, promises
to be as conspicuous a figure at the Open
Air Horse show, which opened at Manhat-
tan Ftld today, as he is at the fashiona-
bles' elaborate mldwinter event held in
Madison Square Garden. After all, the peo-
pie go to see FATTY" Bates just as much
as they do the horses Judging from indi-
cations of the first day the open-air show
promises to be very successful. but will
never grove the attraction for fashion and
society that the recognized regular event
does, for the simple reason that the most
prominent devotees are just now absent
from the city, and fashionable women have
not the same opportunity to appear at
their best

FROM THE CLIFF

From the Coast Seamen's Journal. -,
The wind is fresh, the wind is foul,
The clouds are long and low and gray:
The rocky headland waters a cowl,
And looks a monk who kneels to pray
And tell his beads for parting souls;
While out beyond the bar there rolls
A sullen swell, and white and high
Along the cliffs the breakers fly.
Roar, roar, o Seal Thy stormy song
Appalls the weak, but nerves the strong.
Look! Yonder bark with putting sail
Has turned her bow to win the sea;
She fears to meet the rising gale
With reef and rockland on her lee
And as she luffs the blast to greet,
By halyard, clew, and straining sheet,
All, all, alert her seamen stand,
And watch with anxious eye the land
Roar, roar, o Sea! Thy stormy song
Appalls the weak, but nerves the strong.
Then tack on tack she weathers out
Her topsails shiver in the wind;
Down goes the helm, she flies about.
And leaping off soon leaves behind
The rocky dangers, and has past
The headland, when the wrathful blast
Bursts from the cloud, and wild and grand
Hurls in the sea against the land.
Roar roar, o Sea! Thy stormy song
Appalls the weak, but nerves the stroue.

Ex-sPEAKER REED AND LoUBEr

From a Paris Gable Letter.
Paris, May ia Partisan event of ex-
ceptional interest to Americans was the
meeting of President Loubet and ex-
Speaker Reed, which took place on Tues
day at the Elysee palace. 1t will be re-
membered that NJ. Loubet will be formally
president of the senate, and the conversa-
ton turned upon comparison of the sys-
TENS of parliamentary ruling and pro-
cedure i'll France and the United States
Mr.. Reed was agreeably surprised at NJ.
Loubets thorough knowledge of the work
ing machinery of the house of representa-
tiyes. The veteran parliamentarans of the
two great republics, through the medium
of a fluent interpreter, talked with the ut
most frankness OF the merits and short
comings of the two systems, from a
technical point of view, and with all the
keenness of two amateurs discussing some
rare work of art. Those in attendance
were struck by the contrast presented by
Mr.. Reeds tall, massive frame and Anglo
Saxon phlegm and impassibility, and NJ
Loubet's short stature and Latin vivacity
of gesture.
The eX-speaker was favorably impressed
with NJ. Loubets breadth of views, versa
tility simplicity and earnest directness Of
expression, and the complete absence OF
anything approaching pedantry or preten-
sion.
President Loubet, when subsequently al
luding to the visit remarked that Mr.
Reed impressed him as possessing Puritan
austerity, with an enormous store of re-
served intellect, which he GoubeD had
always associated with Benjamin Frank
lin.
Mr.. Reed has not visited the French
chamber of deputies. Before doing so he
will meet M. Paul Deschanel, president of
the chambers, at a small informal break
fast, to which Mr.. Reed looks forward
with unusual pleasure, especially as NJ
Deschanel is thoroughly familiar with
English, while Mr.. Reeds French, like that
of Benjamin Franklin, is limited to theory.
Tho eX-speaker seems to be in excellent
health and spirits and greatly enjoys his
stay in Paris.

AMENDMENTS AaE NOT WANTED

From the Stevenson Chronicle.
There is no use Offering any amendments
to the constitution; they will never be rat
flied by the people 1t is time and money
thrown away and only driving the wedge
still farther that is dividing the democratic
party. 1t would have been cheaper to have
held the legislature together in our opin
ion. The opposition to the measure would
soon have blown over. But now it will take
years to heal up the breach

There is a bad feature in permitting Adj

SIMPLY DRAWING PAY

From the Eutaw Mirror.
1t is about settled now that the lcgisla-
ture will do nothing more than drawing
their pay for the time they have served the
boss. They have done all the harm they
could do the state and the people, and will
adjourn to go home to find out what asses
most of them have proved themselves to
be. 1t is to be hoped that every man who
did the bldd ng of the boss will be marked
by the people, and killed SO dead politically
that they will not have the face hereafter
to go to the polls when an election is
held

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
The surest way to get out of love is to
get well in.
Mans pursuit of woman | catches her;
woman's pursuit Of man loses him.
Satan will use most any tool to tempt
man, but when it comes to woman he en-
ploys no substitute.
A mans success with a woman depends
not on how he makes love to her, but on
how he doesn't let her make love to him.
Every time a woman practices economy
by making her husband a necktie, he goes
off and spends fifteen dollars drowning his
sorrow.
