A Misty Moral.

"You don't want to go back on your
happy childhood days" said Senator Sorg-
hum. THE lessons you learnt away back
yon are just as good now they We're
then"
'Of course" answered the youth who is
trying to learn the politics business; "a
good education is to be priced above all
things
'''Tisnt only the history and figuring and
poetry quoting you learn in your happy
childhood days that do you good. The
moral principles are calculated to exert an
influence of lifelong benefit. If l was in
your place and thought l was in any danger
of forgetting that good old motto, honesty
is the best policy I'd get some of those
copy books and nil up page every DAY or
So"
do you think honesty pays?" was the
query in tone of precocious doubt.
NO question about it, a case in point
came to my notice only a short time ago.
| was talking to one of the most obstinate
members of the Legislature ! ever saw. L
told him my side of the case. and he said
II was the righteous and lawful view to
take of the matter. but he was going to
vote the other way. He owned up that it
was against the voice of conscience. But
the voice of conscience wasn't hollering
loud enough to make any lasting impress
sion. as he Leeded the money. l looked at
him sternly and l says: Mister, you have
been bought He did not deny it, How
much? says 1. He named the figure. My
friend says l, you don't deserve it. but
I'm going to do you a favor. l know how
it must hurt you to go against your con-
science, and I'm going to bid so more than
the other fellows. so as to give you
chance to follow your natural high-minded
bent He took the fifty. and after it was
all over went home rejoicing in the fact
that he had not only voted according to
his conscience but was considerably ahead
Of he All n which tn show
he added fmpressively. that honesty is the
best policy

The Four German KS,
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The remarks Of Emperor William to the
two American women who cornered him on
his yacht and forced him to listen to long
arguments in favor of the new woman will
doubtless become historic. None but Amer
lean women would have attempted such an
act. Their arguments must have been tire
some to his imperial majesty, yet he can
not be half a bad fellow. for we are told
that he heard them through with patience
The emperor replied to them: Il agree
with my wife, who says that women should
not NEEDLE with anything beyond the four
ks-kinder, kirche, kuche and kleider (chil-
dren church, cookery and clothing)."
The cleverness of the emperor consists in
his presenting It as the view of a woman
rather than his own. Women are best an
swered by the arguments CT their own sex.
If he has given us true notion of the opin-
ion of the German empress he has given an
insight into the domestic peace and happl-
ness which prevail in the German emperor's
home.

Fisherman's Luck in Arkansas.

From the Memphis ScImItar
Memphis man is telling of an incident
which occurred to him last Sunday while
he was fishing in a lake in Arkansas 1
was having good sport" he says, land
had caught a fine string of fish. which were
in the bottom of my boat. The tempera-
ture dropped thirty degrees in half an hour,
and the rain also dropped hard and fast
just how hard may be imagined from the
fact that the boat began to fill, not only
from the rain which fell. but also from
the lake water which splashed into 1t by
the rain dropping on the surface of the
water The boat filled to the gunwales,
and right before my eyes that string OF
fish swan off ia perfectly straight col
umn. leaving me too astonished to make
any move toward their recapture.

The Reason.
When I was young and freckle faced an
eager for to learn,
1 recollect how, sometimes, I'd get brought
up with turn
AS stood catechisin' in a shrill. persistent
key
Bout various things that kind o. stumped
the old folks, same
I'll bet that they've been tempted to con-
TESS they didn't know
When l KEEP askin' EN- why this an that
worked an so.
why does the sun go down at night an
rise mex day bran new?'
They'd answer slow an solemn why, it's
jes' because it do
Why does the hornets loaf instead o toilin'
like the bees?
Why does pertaters grow deep down, in
st lad of on the trees?
Why does the woodchuck burrow an the
squirrel climb tree.
An toad stools pizen folks-with mush-
rooms good good kin be?
Why does the owl set up o nights while
crows go fast asleep?
Why does the redhird sing so fine an spar
rers jes' go "cheep?'
1 never got no further when sech subjecks
I'd pursue
Than the one unchangin answer. Son, it's
jes' because they do
And often it has echoed like sweet music
from above
When I've wondered jes what She could
find in sech me to love;
/ know I'm fur from purity an my speech
is blunt an plain,
An my manners-they're so clumsy that
they can't help causin' pain.
But she says she wouldn't trade me fur no
offer earth could make,
An if she was to try it-well, my heart I'D
simply break.
But l know each day she's waitin', always
tender. always true,
Cause when a woman loves you-why, it s
jes because she do.

Ar Appreciation.

In jungle thick with flowers
He will bravely set the pace:
Through Illuminated bowers
He Will plunge with gallant grace.
When we speak of high intention
And the haunts where great men dwell.
Let us not forget to mention
That he leads the german we'll"
His conscience doubtless dared him
To engage in warlike arts.
But We never could have spared him
To camp out in foreign parts.
His voice may never stir men
In the middle of the fray
But leaders of the german,
All, they're very scarce today.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 24.-An eight-knot
land breeze from the northwest, moder-

ROOT RECON- NJ ENDS.
Civil Government and Sugrage in
Philippines with Education
al Qualifications.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 24.-President
Mckinley has received d synopsis OF Sec
rotary Roots annual report, which he is
now considering in connection with his
message to Congress. Dealing as IL does
with all the events of the last year III
connection with the Philippines, Cuba
and Porto Ricr. and III the discussion
and recommendations for the future gov
eminent of these new possessions, 1T Will
form the basis for the most important
chapter of the Presidents message.
These are some of the most essential
features of the secretary's observations
and recommendations
THE immediate appointment OF civil
governors of Cuba and Porto RICO.
THE substitution of civil government.
either by commission or a civil gov
ernor. for the Philippines, Immediately
following the suppression OF the present
insurrection.
"a complete system of suffrage in the
Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico, with
educational and property quallncatlonS
required for all voters.
A Cable to Manila.
'"The immediate construction of a ca
BILE between the United States and the
Philippines.
No general reorganization of the army
will be recommended by the secretary
at the present time. He will leave this
subject open for further consideration
until after the war in the Philippines
has been brought to a close. 1t has been
pointed out, however, that the retention
of the bulk of the present army will be
necessary for some months to come.
1.-THE secretary will be very urgent in
his recommendations for the immediate
construction of a cable line to the Phil
ippines. During the past year the war
department alone spent more than $500,
900 for cable tolls, and with the amount
paid by the navy and state departments,
more than half million in all has been
paid for cable messages between this
country and the Philippines. The secre-
| tary will point out these facts to snow
| that it will be economy for the govern
| ment to build its own cable
Employ Wireless Te1eSraphy.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.-The war
problem of wireless telegraphy for the
signal service. The signal corps has
been handicapped recently both by lack
| of funds and offices to experiment on an
| extensive scale, but Capt. Reiber at Gov
| ernor's island, n. Y, is carrying on Sc
| ries of experiments between that point
and Tompkinsyille with view to adapt
ing the army apparatus for communica-
! ton between fortified points and in any
/, other locality where the wireless system
might prove superior in practice to the
older form of telegraphy. The army is
not dependent ON Marconi for inStru-
ments, having developed a system Of it's
