DOWN ON COLUMBUS.
If He Had Not Discovered America
tho Spaniards Would Have
Had No Trouble.

One Ct the most delightfully."- humorous as
poets of our late antagonists is their utter
absence of a sense of humor. Some Ameri-
can jester having predicted that when the
Spanards got through with the war they
would repudiate Christopher Columbus for
having ever discovered America, the Madrid
journals are verifying the prediction by as
sorting with truly Iberian profundity that
Cristobal Colon has turned out to be the
evil genius of Spain.
1t is evident that if the old mariner had
been content with staying in the Mediter
ranean and had not gone about bothering
monarchs to furnish him the means of dis
covering the new world Spain would have
no colonies, and having none she could not
lose them. Its i'll taking the treeks off
H'elander," says the Scotch proverb, and by
the same logic, if it had not been for the
mischievous activity of Columbus Spain
would have been thoroughly guarded against
such disasters as have now befallen her.
But even upon the Spanish method of
reasoning-that Columbus was at fault and
not the ages of plumber and cruelty which
have wiped out the Spanish ownership of
nearly half the world-our Madrid friends
forget that Columbus gave them three CEN
turtles of squeezing the colonies that fol-
lowed his discoveries in South America, and
four in Cuba and Porto Rico. Inasmuch as
Columbus was thrown into disfavor and
prison while he lived, we should say that
the balance between him and Spain was
still in his favor-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Her majesty, Isl An, empress of China,
sat IN her palace in the purple Forbidden
City, with her brow resting on her thumb
and her index finger pushed up through her

profound absorption she beckoned to a wal

yellow silk tapestry.
"Un-Hung," she said, "where is the en-
peror?"
Dash your ignomlnious slave into mil

fat on his chest before her, "but your slave

"Wot?'

THE HOTEL PCTENTATE.
One of the Old Sort who Wore the
Air of a Monarch of the
Highest Order.

"When I was in business with w. c.
Coup, the famous circus man." said Mr.. j.
A. Whyte, the impresario, I'VE once had
occasion to make business trip to the
northwest, and stayed a week or so in
certain big city, the name of which isn't
essential to tn. tory. We put up at the
leading hotel, which is one of the finest and
best known in the United States, and would
have enjoyed ourselves if it hadn't been for
the head clerk. He was one of a breed that
has since become obsolete-thank heaven!-
haughly, disdainful potentate, who con-
sidered it beneath his dignity to show the
slightest courtesy to any of the guests of
the house. Mr.. Coup, as all who knew him
will confirm, was polished man of the
world, totally careless of money, never COM
planning, but accustomed to punctilious
service. He bumped against the majestic
ruler of the register several times and en-
dured his affronts in silence. At last he told
me quietly to secure quarters at another
hotel, which I was only too glad to do. I
reported that arrangements had been made,
and he went down to settle our account.
What is our bill. Mr. King?' he asked
suavely. My names not King snapped the
clerk, and proceeded to figure up, the
amount. Coup took out his pocketbook.
Strange he said pensively, but l have
been under the impression all along that
your name was King We'll, my name amt
King, retorted the clerk. and / don't know
how YOU got that idea Nor l. said Coup,
unless it was because you act so much like
one. IN. O. Times Democrat

and by mounting trestewoEk on wheels, SO
that it projects above the water, the railway
can be operated. This seems beyond belief,
