The genuine Russian conception OF
government is very forcibly set forth
in the following, which, is quoted from
a paper By or American published in
the Japan Mail. The American was
~conversing with an intelligent and we'll
educated Russian officer when the lat
ter remarked:
.There Is one clause in the Constitution
OF the Uhited States which always makes
md laugh"
''What Is it," / asked.
''The statement that It is natural for al,
men to seek happiness, and that 1t is the
business Of government to attain It,"
.'But do you not consider government to
be for the sake OF the governed, and the
welfare and happiness Of the people a
worthy end7"
Certainly government6 is not for the
sake Of the people; and I do not consider
happiness IN end at all. We must make
the people happy, elsestheA win robel, but
this is only Q means for fqkthering the In.
terests OF the State. while he the true end

The Philadelphia Times, speaking
OF the navy estimates, says: "We
have reached a period Of advancement
that should be grandly met, and one
OF the imperious necessities of the
present conditions is a first class navy
that shall be second only to England.
With such . navy we can maintain
peace with all the world, because no
other nation would venture upon val

He told me afterwards he could
never forget the sight eve if he lived
to be a hundred. Jacko was lying
stretched across the coil of the Weather
crossjack brace, my body being face
downward, stretched across Jacko's,
and a pool of blood marring the
wilderness of the deck and making
CHASTITY the sight of our two apparent
ly inanimate forms.
JACKIE recovered from the effects OF
the blow l gave him. He was pre-
scented, [ believe, to the Palace menag-
erie at New Brighton, where, for all
I know to the contrary, he is to this
day. AS for me, I bear the marks of
his teeth upon me yet, and shall be
glad to show them to such Wide World
readers as care to call upon me be-
tween voyages at my home, near Man
chester. They are rather faint upon
my shoulders, but on my hand is q
seal three-fourths of an inch long and
o%ne-fourth of an inch broad. Two OF
the scars upon my left forearm each
half an inch in length, and

The Oldest pulpit now in use in
Scotland bears date 1868. The exact
history of its construction is not GER
tainly known, but the most widely
accepted story that has come down is
that it was the unaided work of a shep-
herd boy. The legend has it that,
with a simple pocket knife, this clever
handed lad executed the whole of the
exquisite carving of the pulpit, and
that the various pieces of woodwork
were s~killfully put together without
the use of a single nail or screw of
any kind.

South street, Philadelphia. is one
of the strangest in the world. This
is due to legislation by the ancient
Quakers, who managed the affairs of
the city when South street was one of
the most important in Philadelphia.
Laws were then enacted that sidewalk
vendors, stall keepers, wagons con-
tanning produce and open-air dealers
could only use one side of the street
for such purposes six months in the
year. Thus from April to September,
the south side of the street is ~
nigh impossible, while the other six
months it is deserted.

Thinking that Wide World readers
would like to know what became OF
JACKIE, we instructed MI. Frederick
Bolton, the authors father, to make
inquiries about the ape at the Palace,
New Brighton. We append Mr. Boil
toms report:
81 made my way there and found
the place closed during the daytime,
it being the off season, but I hunted
up the caretaker. l explained to him
what I was after.
"His reply was: T should think I
do remember the brute. You see that
fnger?' he went on, showing me q
mutilated ~fnger-the middle finger of
his right hand. I was going my
rounds n day and was trying the
gate of his cage when he sprang at nae
like lightning and had my finger in
his ugly mouth like a wise before I
knew what he was up to. You can
see for yourself, sir, the mess he made
of it. Another time,' continued the
caretaker, the brute got out of his
cage, and it took all the fellows about
the place to cage him again. When
he first came they put him in with the
other monkeys, but he killed q number
of them, SO he was placed in a special
cage by himself. About u months
ago he got so full of rheumatism that
they drowned him.
"'How high did he stand?' I asked.
Well, SIR replied my informant,
you seldom saw him stretched full
length, but he was, I should say, from
three feet to three feet six inches.'"

rested on a charge of murder, had
their trial last Tuesday before Esq.
Farmer and Associate Justice j. B.
Beatty. Attorney Cline appeared for
the prosecution and G. A. Cox for the
defense.
The case was fought hard on both
sides, but the boys were acquit'
ted. These were the boys who were
scuffiing with the little Dyer boy
when he received his fatal injury.
We hope this lesson will sink deep
into the hearts of not only these boys
but others who are in the habit of in
dulging in rough play, especially with
smaller boys.

DECORATION DAY.

The day was appropriately observed
In Chanute.
The city was gaily decorated early
In the morning and all business
houses closed at ~ O'Clock and re-
manned closed till 5p. m.
The parade was formed at the east
end of town and proceeded down
Fourth street, thence to the ceme-
terry where the usual ceremonies were
held and the graves of the old soldiers
decorated with flowers.
How beautiful and touching is this
ceremony and how appropriate that
we should at least once year drop all
business cares and in this beautiful
manner show homage to the brave
departed heroes who by their sacri-
fees in early manhood made it pos
sible for us to enjoy the blessings Of
this great and free people.
From the cemetery the crowd pro-
ceeded to the amphitheatre on the
fair grounds and listened to the ora
tor of the day, the Hon. G. F. Scott.
If Charley Scott had not already been
an idol in the hearts of Chanute peo-
pie, his touching tribute to our honor
ed dead, and his noble, patriotic sem
timents, would have endeared him to
us in way that he could never be
forgotten. Senator Farrelly also made
a neat little speech, and COmrade
Rickel some appropriate remarks.
The management Of the ceremonies
brought on their heads great deal OF
just censure for not providing seats
in the grove where the people could
hear the exercises with some degree
of comfort. The old grand stand is
simply sweat box and was not large
enough to accommodate fourth OF
the people. We don't know who is to
blame for this mistake, but we dc
know that it caused great deal OF
harsh comment.
