"I'm Married Noyv.Y
From the Criterion

From the Criterion
Come up to the club with me tonight"
1 said to a chum of mine,
Wen have bottle and a bird all right,
And my cigars are fine.
We want another to play at whist"
A pallor o'erspread his tan
He coughed a little behind his fist
I'm married now, old man."
l went to hunt up a dear good pal
OF my fathers long ago;
hermit, quite lame, and blind and
small
His hair was white as snow
"Will we go for the bluefish in the morn?"
l shouted into his head;
But just as sure as you have been born.
I'm married, mon" he said.
I gave up at last, and went to call
On the best girl in the town.
Butler escorted me through the hall
Said she would soon be down.
I asked her to share my humble pay,
But fell on the floor in fits,
When she replied, in a naughty way,
I'm married, Mr. Pitts"
They found me a raving maniac
In the Hall of Art next day,
Grooming low love-songs behind the back
OF a mummy girl. they say
Who showed me the sign tackled on her
breast
And l dropped upon my knees
Read there the truth that l might have
guessed
Third wife of Rameses."

Senator MorrilI's Economy.

The long years the late Senator Morrill,
of Vermont spent in the public service
never, a Washington correspondent says.
taught him extravaganza in the expendi-
ture of public money. He was as careful
of the public property as If he bought and
paid for it out of his private purse 1t
has been the custom of the pages of the
Senate for years to place upon the desk
of every senator a fresh pen every morn
ing of the session. Senator Morrill,. of all
the members of that body was the only
one who used the old-fashioned Quill At
the end of each days session he carefully
locked up his pen in his desk Finding a
fresh one the next morning he used it
during the day and then locked il up. AT
the end of the session his desk contained
a collection of quin pens which were care
fully carried by page to his committee
room, where they did service for many
months. The mail of each senator is
placed upon his desk two or three times
a day, tied up with red tape. The average
senator upwraps the packages by either
cutting the tape or throwing the whole
piece on the floor. Mr.. Morrill, carefully
united the knots and laid the piece of red
tape away. His committee room was the
only one that never made a requisition for
tape.

Strenuous efforts have been made to in
duce Gov. Roosevelt of New York to save
a woman. Mrs. Place. from death in the
electric chair. But he has declined 10 in
terfere. The evidence showed conclusively
that the woman committed the murder
with which she was charged, in cold blood
and without mitigating circumstances.
There was, and could be, no question of
the correctness of the verdict and the
justice under the law of the sentence.
Such being the case, Gov. Roosevelt has
declined to be swayed by sentiment. To
him criminal is a criminal, and muir
derer is murderer, whether in trousers
or frock. He is unfolding the law, with
out prejudice and without fear. If there
were more of the Roosevelt brand of back,
bone in the gubernatorial chairs, it would
be better for the states

Taking advantage of the innate human
desire TO get something for nothing, some
Pennsylvania sharpers have been raking
ing up dollars in the street" as one of
them expressed it. They advertised ex-
tensively that, by way Of introducing their
goods, they would for limited time send
by mail ten yards of fine silk for 81 the
only stipulation being that it should be a
solid color; the. purchaser might name the
color wanted. Mail orders flowed in: and
for each 81 RENTED, the sharpers sent a
little spool of colored silk thread contain
ing ten yards. The postofice department,
however, has broken up the game.

CURRENT COMMENT,

Baron Won Hammerstein, the Prussian
minister of agriculture. declared in the
diet recently that Germany stood entirely
ready to abolish the bounties on sugar.
He stated, however. that it could not do
this without the cooperation of other ma
tons Commenting on this, the Chicago
Chronicle (Dem.) says: "But If Germany
persists in waiting for other countries to
help her let go of bad policy the be-
ginning of better things is not. likely TO
come very soon and the foolish and de-
structive commercial war now going on
under pretense of peace between that
country and the United States viii soon
become open and more destructive than IL
has ever yet been"
Col watterson thinks that the best
newspapers, like the best wine. must have
age. His paper. the Louisville Courier
Journal CDem.) says: 1T may be remarked
that nearly all the great newspapers in
the country were established between sixty
and seventy years ago or later The
growth of the newspaper press has been
mainly in the latter thirds of the cen
fury, but the modern daily newspaper does
not date nearly so far back"
The Charleston News and Courier Dem)
thinks politics, or rather the matter of the
ratification of the treaty. should not be
Influenced by the fighting at Manila. 1t
says: The ratification will not cure the
revolution II will relieve Spain; but
without some sort of guarantee on the part
of the United States of independence to
the Filipinos, it will infict a heavy burden
upon the United States-a heavy, useless,
criminal burden.
The Chicago Record Gnd) says: From
the Americans point of view the white
mans burden should be one OF patient and
helpful guidance and assistance in the d.
rection Of progress and liberty, not a
forced molding of new-caught sullen peo-
pies according to our Ideas of what is
good for them"

Court That Travels About.

An interesting story comes from In
dian Territory regarding a United
States court there, judge, attorney,
clerk, sheriff and marshal, with all
necessary assistants and parapher-
MALTA, which travels from Place to
place over the territory, holding forth
as occasion demands. This novel insti-
tuition is in the northern section of the
territory, where the towns are few and
far apart, and where it is cheaper for
the court to go to the people than for
the people to go to the court. Much
money is saved the people each year by
the movable outfit. There is small
house on wheels, resembling NOV
er's wagon, in which the court trav-
els, and in which the court records are
kept. Here, also, in towns where there
are no better accommodations, court
is held and justice dispensed. 1t Is
claimed that criminals can be reached
in this manner more conveniently than
in the old way, as it is often danger
GUS to conduct criminals from town to
town without heavy guard, rescuin9
parties being numerous. With the
court is complete cooking outfit, pre-
sided over by first-class culinary ar
fist, who sees to it that the court does
not want for food even if it does want
for some OF the other things which are
common in civilized communities.

CHINESE VEGETABLES.
Hop Chang, of Chicago, Raises the First
East of the Rockies.

Hop Chang, of Chicago, Raises the First
East of the Rockies.
Chicago Times Herald: The first
crop of Chinese vegetables raised east
of the Rockies was marketed in South
Clark street early in the week. Hop
Chang, an ex-laundryman, was the
grower, and the miniature farm upon
which he raised the Chinese equiva-
Tents for turnips, peas and cucumDers,
is a one-acre tract of land in Forty
seventh street, near Kedzie avenue.
Early this week the first vegetables
grown in Chicago by Chinaman were
picked and carried in two large baskets
to South Clark street. When news
that green stuff such as they used to
eat in far off China was for sale, the
folks of Chinatown came flocking. But
there was grief for many, for the willy
Hop Chang knew he had a monopoly
and charged accordingly. How
muchee?" said laundryman, holding
up green looking vegetable about the
size of tomato which he called eli
toll" "Fliftee cent" said Chang. The
laundryman dropped it, remarking sor-
rowfully something that sounded like
"Oh, Gee!" A rich Chinaman bought
the vegetable, and in a few moments
the entire stock was taken at extrava-
CANT prices by the epicures of the col
ony. Hop Chang's crops are in very
thriving condition, and give promise
of rich pecuniary harvest. He has
sent to China for more seeds and GER
tain farming implements he deems es-
sential to the best results in gardening.
Other Cinnamon will doubtless take up
farming as vocation since Chang has
demonstrated its feasibility in this eli
mate. Should the Chinese undertake
vegetable gardening in and about Chi
cago they would prove formidable ri
walls to the Dutch and German garden
ers, who now practically monopolize
the field.

JOHN C. HUBINGER.
Remarkable Career of a weIl-Known
Western Capitalist, Manufnct-
urer and Philanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without a peer. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by inn
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made

they are consequently very valuable
The dollar in question was given sew
eral months ago by a woman whose
name, if known, is kept secret, to Lad
islar Altman, clerk in the dry goods
store of l.. I. Hartnett in payment for
goods bought. The woman did not
know that the dollar was worth more
than its face value; in fact, she hest
tated about using it at all for fear that
it was not genuine. The clerk, with
out knowing how rare the coin was,
recognized it as an odd piece and put
it into his pocket, handing over to the
cashier dollar of his own. For sew
eral months thereafter he carried the
1904 dollar about as a pocket piece.
One day he showed it to friend at a
bank and was informed that it was
worth not less than $500. In order to
verify this estimate he sent it to a
coin buyer in Chicago, who promptly
offered 81 500 for it. The clerk still
did not sell, having heard that SIM
liar coin had sold for a still larger
sum in New York. But, though he did
not sell, he talked, and the story
reached the ears of Mr.. Hartnett, his
employer. Mr.. Harnett promptly
claimed that the dollar either belonged
to the funds Of the store or to the
woman who had rendered it without
knowing its value. He demanded that
it be returned and held for the wom-
an. If she could not be found he
claimed that the coin belonged to him.
The clerk claims that he was justified
in substituting his dollar for the one
paid in, and pertinently calls attention
to the fact that had the coin proved a
bad one he would have been held re-
sponsible. Both sides have employed
attorneys and a lawsuit seems in
