Loyal Little American.

A teacher who spent her vacation
abroad tells the following story: One
OF her fellow passengers on the steam
er that brought her home was little
boy about ten years old As the
steamer approached New York the
child grew exultantly happy and every
little while he would say, We're al
most home now. He talked of tn.
various objects they passed as though
he were really quite at home. Finally
the teacher said. DO you live in New
York;" No" answered he, Il live IN

he could possibly be on once more
seeing his native land and stoutly de-
elared that America was the best

Preacher Closed His Sermon. l..

It was once usual for Highland
shepherds to take their dogs into
church and leave them outside the
pews. Two shepherds at enmity sat
on opposite sides OF the aisle one
Sunday, and, soon after the sermon
began, the dogs-one collie and the
other not-seemed to enter into their
masters quarrel. The shepherds
atged on their dogs in undertones, and
soon there was real fight in prog
ress. Most Of those in the immediate
neighborhood craned their necks over
the pews to see how the encounter was
coming out, and not few were stand
ing up The minister's patience was
ultimately exhausted, and so he called
to his hearers" and said: "Ah, weel
my britherin, see ye are more inter-
ested in the dog fight than In my SER
mon, and 80 III close the buike-and
I'll bet a half crown on the collie!"

Fseds Hens Kerosene and Gets Flavor
In tho Eggs.
w. Stewart Wise, fancier and
breeder of chickens highest in the art
Of laying eggs fit for king, made
discovery the other day. He had been
boasting about the quality and fresh
ness of the eggs he sold from his hen
merry. Benjamin G. Bayne gave Mr..
Wise an order The time each egg was
plucked from the nest WAS recorded
upon 1t. This gave Mr.. Bayne proof
of the who!esomeness of the breakfast
he was to eat next morning The ba-
con and eggs were served, but there
seemed to be something in the cook
Bayne's taste, and he began to Ques-
ton whether they had been cooked in
kerosene oil or II the Standard Oh
company had cornered the bacon mar
ket and injected into the meat some OF
its trade mark taste and smells. Ex-
animation proved that the cook was
not in the employ Of any oil trust
neither kerosene, olive or axle-and
the mystery ended with the uneaten
eggs upon the breakfast table. Mr..
Bayne, relating his experience to Mr..
Wise, opened that gentleman's mind,
who said: II can explain 1t to you.
Who would have thought such thing
was possible?" Then Mr. Wise said
that a number Of his best chickens had
been afflicted with colds. He had had
their food impregnated with kerosene
oil, which soon cured the brood. This,
he declared, had found its way into the
eggs The explanation satisfied Mr.
Bayne and the family that the cook
had not used kerosene to cook that
breakfast and under the circumstane-
es, they will give Mr. Wise another
chance to prove the value OF the pro-
ductions of his hens.-Baltimore Sun.

pelling enthusiasm which stirs your
whole being into action. You cannot
have this soul-energy unless you are

was to the great master Ole Bull. The
famous violinist had an almost idola-
trous affection for his instrument. He
used TO talk to 1t, pet it, caress 1t. The
violin responded TO his caress, and
with it the great artist swayed null
tit,.das as forests are swayed by the

Cheaper Fuel for England.

Now that the price Of coal has in
creased to such an enormous extent in
England, as a result Of the vast guam
titles which are exported to foreign
countries. attempts are being made to
obtain cheaper fuel, especially for the
benefit OF the poorer classes. Expert
ments are being made with peat. At
Tregaron, in Cardiganshire, there is a
vast bog, 1000 acres in extent. in
which the peat extends in veins vary

rally whether they submit their final
work to vote of the people or not"
There is nothing to do but to take the

Some time ago the New York Herald
showed signs of supporting Dewey for
the presidency. but the
'eS 49, ss:aa, Herald has changed its
''e'''' tune, and in leading
editorial now comes out for Mckinley.
1t says:
with sailorlike candor Admiral Dewey
provided his political opponent, Mr.. Me-
Kinley, with q crushing argument for re-
election when he said: The position of
President is not a difficult one to fill.
All he has to do is to carry out the wishes
of Congress in accordance with the Con-
stitution.'
NO one can accuse Mr.. Mckinley of
ever having done anything else. He has
done it faithfully, and the country has
prospered in consequence Why. then,
should the people change a President who
has proved that he can and that he does
carry out the wishes of Congress in az
cordance with the Constitution for an
other who only thinks 1t is easy, but
who may change his opinion about it
later, Just as he did about not running
for President? Don't swap horses while

constitutional convention is compelled to
submit its work TO vote Of the people,
and adds:
I'VE quite agree with The Times that
these complications and these differences
of opinion make the calling Of consti-
tutional convention somewhat risky. But
what are we to do? The time has come,
and now is, when the people Will no longer
consent to live under the old Underwood
fraud, and. as The Times says, the Legis-
lature, having failed to employ the
amending, initiative and referendum pro-
cess to give us new Constitution, we
are forced TO the necessity Of calling a
constitutional convention. with all its at
tendant risks and uncertainties. Fraudu-
lent election practices in Virginia must
be suppressed at all hazards and any
risks, or Virginia manhood and common
decency in politics will ere long be things
of the past, if they are not SO now.
Qualified suffrage: That is to say, the
removal of the ignorant negro from the
woodplle. is the only remedy. Call this
revolution, disloyalty or what-not, it is
the plain fact-a fact that can no longer
be hid or suppressed It is indeed true
that it is a serious thing to call con-

provide delegates by popular vote to the

movement is upon us. We must meet

PARTY SERVICE AND OFFICE
HOLDING.

The Apnomattox and buckingham
Times puts this question to US IF Mr.
Flood would make an able, industrious,
faithful and efficient representative. is the
fact that he has rendered valuable party
service d reason why the district should
not avail itself of his services?''
If our contemporary had only read to
the finish our article on this subject and
from which ii quotes, it would have found
it asks. We distinctly stated in that
article that we did not disparage party
service, and that all things else being
equal the candidate who had rendered his
party a service should receive party hon
ors over the candidate who had rendered
no such service. But that is not the rule
which the exponents of the spois system
follow. The question of merit with them
counts for little, the question of party
service counts for everything. The spoils-
man does a certain work for the party
and then he demands that the party give
him remunerative office as a reward
We say that tie first thing to be consid-
cred when a man applies for Office is his
qualification. Is he honest? Is he com
petent? Is he faithful? If 50. well, and
if he has rendered the party valuable
service it is an additional reason why he
should receive party favors. II is GER
ta1nly nothing against meritorious cam
didate. but greatly in his favor, that he
has been a useful and efficient party man.
But we hold that party service is not
of itself "a sufficient qualification for Of
fee holding and we hold thai no amount
OF party service gives. any man in the
party right and title to party l,pnors.

BOSSESM R.IBUKED.
In speaking of the defeat of Senate
a., 5.I,,t,;, T, ,oa.7 ,,x-S.

In speaking of the defeat of Senator
Quay, the Philadelphia Record says:
Except in the narrowest artisan sense
the question decided was not a political
question. Without any disposition TO
gloat over the outcome, the Record can
not help but felicitate all the people OF
Pennsylvania Their rights were most
directly involved. Mr.. Quay is one of the
most unworthy yet one OF the most pop
ular men in public life. Aaron Burr, the
schener OF our earlier politics, was not
more dangerous or more unscrupulous.
The technical question as TO whether or
not Senator Quay was entitled to his seat
is not involved in the Records comment.
1t means simply to say that this man who
for years has been boss in Pennsylvania
politics has been rebuked and shorn some
what of his power, and the Record well
saws that the whole country has reason TO
be thankful therefor. It is always q good
thing for the politics Of the United States
whom bossism is rebuked.
