HIS Only Sweetheart.

Ex-senator Mantle of Montana, re-
Gently retired by an unappreciative
constituency. is a bachelor, and has
long been regarded by the managing
mammas in Washington as very de-
sirable "catch," for besides wearing
the toga. he has some mining property
that Yields him pretty income. So
ciety was somewhat electrified, there
fore. when he announced at dinner
given in his honor shortly before he
left town. that he was delighted at
going, because he wanted to see his
sweetheart, from whom ne mad peen
separated for a long time.
your sweetheart exclaimed those
near him. "Have you had a sweetheart
all this time? Do tell us about her.
Yes; I have a sweetheart" answer
ed the Senator frankly, and haven't
seen her since I left Butte in the fall.
Dear woman, she's all I've got, and
I'm all she's got.
whats her name?" Is she pretty?"'
"How old is she?" were some OF the
questions the blushing Senator was
pressed to answer, but he held his peace
until a pretty thing, of whom the Sen
ator had been suspected OF being rather
fond, said: Nov, Senator, please do
tell us about her, for we can't con-
graduate you until we know something
of your fiancee.
She's not pretty, she's beautiful
responded the Senator finally, his face
growing tender, land she's not very
young. somewhere between 70 and 50,
and her nanne-her name is the same
az mine-Mantle. My sweetheart is my
mother"-Kansas City Star.

THE MONKEYS OF AMBER.
An Old Indian City Given UP to
Monks and Monkeys.

Mrs. Clara Erskine Clement describes
in the November "St. Nicholas a visit
to the ancient city of Amber, in India,
which is inhabited only by few priests
and thousands of monkeys. Elephants
from the stables Of the Maharajah of
Jeypore conveyed her party. The hlil
on which the old city stands is sur
rounded by other high hliis, crowned
with towers and ramparts anu covered
with trees. The great castle-fortress
stands out boldly. The old zenana, OF
women's apartments-an extensive
block of buildings, surrounded by
COURTS the only place which is in
habited. This is a well-populated and
lively quarter since a tribe of languor
or hoonoomaun monkeys have taken
possession, and dwell ,ere in comfort
and freedom. The Hindus religiously
refrain from hurting or killing any ami
NAL, and the monkeys having no fear.
are monarchs of all they choose TO
take.
| The hoonoomaun, or languor, is the
sacred monkey, and the largest found in
India. Its hight is from two and d
half to four feet; it's body is singularly
slender and supple; it's face is black and
smooth, except for long white whiskers;
the hair on the body is gray on the
back, and white under the stomach; it's
tail is long and bare, with a single tuft
of hair on the end. The Hindus have
legend which explains it's very black
face 1t says that, ages ago, a A1oonoo-
maun, the king of the monkeys, went
to assist Rama in the conquest of Cey-
lon The king of the island had
carried off Lita, the wife of Rama, and
he was determined to rescue her AS
they came near to the island, HoonoO-
maun easily leaped over the straits, SO
skillful a jumper was he, and, finding
Lita. he was comforting her with the
news that her husband was approach
ing, when Ravana, the demon-king, ap-
peared and made Hoonoomaun prisoner.
After setting fire to the monkeys long
tail, he gave him his freedom, that he
might return to Rama Hoonomaun
succeeded in blowing out the fire a.
the end Of his TAIL but in so doing he
blackened his face and singed his hair
in a most unbecoming fashion. The
loss of his beauty saddened the poor
beast that Rama made all the monkeys
of his kind kalamoukh, or plack-faceu,
which they remain to this day.

The people who roared so Justify over
the mild censorship General Otis found
it necessary to enforce at Manila, IN
order to prevent knowledge OF his in

communicated to the enemy, should
ponder over the rigid censorship es-
tablished by the British in South
Africa There the correspondents and
newspaper sensationalists mind their

below the breath. When John Bull
goes to war he permits no trifing; he

Dewey has son to transmit his name.
1t was the undoubted desire of the
people that the Washington home
should be the property of the Admiral
and his lineaI descendants forever To
cover that legal point he transferred 1t
to his wife and she transferred it to
his son. It will be his home as long
as he lives and it will stay in the fam
lily after his death.
But the point we wish to make is that
public sentiment should not have gone
off on tangent in such haste. A man
of Deweys character should have been
entitled to the benefit of a doubt before
being denounced on partial information.
At least public opinion should have
waited until the transaction was com
plete before jumping at conclusions.
Even yet we do not know the precise
terms of these two transfers. A con-
sentative popular judgment would have
argued that Dewey was not the KIND OF
man to deliberately proceed to defeat
the intention of the donors of his home.
SEASONABLE RAINS.
Los Angeles Express: The man VINO

seasonable rains along the PACING
Coast this fall is beyond redemption.
They have fallen as if made to order,
and the absence of drying winds has
caused every drop of moisture to go

alton of confidence in the future, and

the entire coast.
TURN ON THE LIGHT"
Stockton Independent: Turn on the

connection with the allegations made
respecting the conditions of the Tartar.
What the Examiner" really means by
turning on the light is for every Gov
eminent official to give voice to all his
prejudices, theories and convictions
whenever approached by an ''Exami-
ner" reporter. The Examiners" the

peared before the rise Of yellow jour-
nalism 1t wants the privilege OF

is inductive. For the purpose of sell
ing papers it concludes that accusation
is needed. To furnish a sensation it
concludes that something must be
wrong. To continue to sell papers on
this sensation it concludes that the
something must be very wrong. 1t
then proceeds to prove that it is very
wrong by means of authority in which
the substance of their remarks is die

the affairs of Government has followed
as an inevitable consequence of the in4
ductive methods Of yellow journalism.

THE LATEST swINDLE.

Not single spasm Of sympathy
should be expended upon the gullible
who are bitten by the Franklin Syndi-
cate swindle in Brooklyn And Of all
places in the world Brooklyn, where
the average Of intelligence is exceed
ed and the people are noted for their
financial shrewdness.
AS rivers run steadily to the sea so
should our blood course through our
veins unquickened by any pity or SYM
Brooklyn and New York who poured
their money into the till of the
swindling concern Of the rascal Miller,
who promised depositors returns Of 10
per cent. a week, or 500 per cent. a
year.
The man or woman who for one in
slant swallowed bait of that order, is
deserving Of no thought. What they
lose is too light punishment They
ought to be pilloried as warnings to
the remainder of the grand army of
fools who kept out of the net of Miller,
only because of lack Of opportunity to
get in.
Not a dozen years ago a woman, of
New York for business and Brooklyn
for residence, started similar bank
ing swindle. She so far succeeded as
TO be able to establish a branch con-
Germ in Boston, where fewer gudgeons
were caught, however. Her promises
Of returns upon deposits were far less
extravagant. Yet thousands of peo-
pie trusted her, made credulous by
their greed for a gain, which the low
est order of intelligence must know to
be impossible OF course she failed
1t was planned from the outset.
But this awful example appears to
ers and Brooklynites. They have taken
in the very next hook cast near their
gi1ls, and now that they are landed,
let them have no need of sympathy.
There are too many truly wretched,
poor and starving people in this world
Of woe who are worthy Of expenditure
of sympathy and of material aid, for
any to be wasted on the dense fools who
put money into Miller's hands, on ex-
pectation of abnormal returns of a
character that must have suggested
robbery Of some one to every one of
the depositors.
They knew that Miller could only pay
dividends as promised by cheating and
swindling some one. He did cheat and
swindle for a time, paid a dividend or
two out of the deposits and then the
bubble burst. Under such conditions
we submit that the output of sympa-
thy for the victims in which certain of
our contemporaries are INDUCING, is III
timed and wholly unwarranted.

at Malolos has adopted the Philippine con-
