NOTES AND OPINIONS.
THE ONE-TERM PRESIDENT.
(Jacksonvile Times

Among the new issues now engaging
the attention of the people even when
unnoticed by politicians who make a
study of our growing impressions, that
they may set sail before the first pros
pcrinG wind of favor, it cannot b.. de-
MED that the argument for fixing one
term as the limit for the occupant of
the White House steadily grows in
favor. The people OF Florida passed
ii1cr1 trey set
that Limit on their own executive head,
but every argument which convinced us
then is multiplied when applied to the
position OF SO much greater power and
tempertaion. Are we too timid TO
recommend the same remedy in both
cases?

very good afternoon, Corporal Mac
Bean" she added. And I'll trouble
you not to go asking sneaking ques-
tions of a poor little innocent child
about people who don't want to have
anything TO do with the likes OF you!
A corporal, indeed"
Janet snorted Indignantly as she
disappeared down the other slope of
the rampant. And Corporal MacBean
a down again in despair, for he did
not understand women. One thing, he
decided, he must distinguish himself
soon that he might have an opportun-
ity of asking Miss Sloane to share his
lot as a sergeant.
The opportunity came a few nights
afterward. A half hour or so before
dawn three shots rang out. Then a
sentry was found lying curled up on
the ground, with a long Afghan knife
through his shoulder.
More rifles stolen!" suggested
those who came running up. The gar
rison of Fort Curzon were we'll accus-
toned to night visits from the we'll
creased and slippery rife thieves from
the hills.
But the word soon passed that
something more precious than rifles
had gone this time.
Chubby was missing.
Then it was remembered how ven
geance deep and dire had been sworn
against Capt. Donnelly, in that he had
procured expatriation to the Andaman
islands for the last pair of rifle thieves
who had been captured within the con-
fines of Fort Curzon.
The bugles blared out the boot and
saddle" Corporal MacBean heard a
scream FROM Janet that cut through
his heart like a knife. A red mist
shut across his eyes, and he rode
like a mailman toward the mountains
ahead, losing all sense of time in thc
beat of the wildly %galloping hoofs
The best horse in the garrison was
his.
The dawn broke in a swimming mis-
of blue-gray. Then the distant noun

Fear Automobiles.

Horses of Royal Stable Taught Not to
Fear Automobiles.
Few lives in this world are watched
with such care as Queen Victoria's,
and those of the members of the royal
family. This is an old saying, but it
Is particularly true in the case of what
might be called automobilism, which
as yet is only a hobby in England. Still
steps have just been taken to protect
her majesty from any danger while
driving through the use Of automo-
biles. All the horses in the royal sta
BILE have been drilled in the presence
of an automobile. The horses in the
three stable yards at Windsor were
first led and then driven around a sta
tionary car. Then the car was pro-
PEELED around the horses. Finally the
car was moved between the horses in
a dangerous way as they stood near
each other. The automobilist finally
made the car as Objectionable as pos
sible. The horses were very amenable,
as they had already been schooled to
such noises as the playing of bands,
the noise of cannon and railroad trains
and the cheering of crowds. The best
bred horses proved to be the least sem
sitive to the novelty, a pure bred Arab
stallion showing the least concern of
all.-New York Sun.

GalIantry Discouraged.

Fargo IN. d. special to the Mime
apolis Times: A new phase of the
prohibitory law was tested at Ellen
dale recently in the case of the State
VS.. Snow. The defendant was a sales
man and drove over the southern part
of the state. On one of his trips he
gave a woman a drink of whisky out
of a bottle he was carrying. There was
no evidence to show that he gave the
whisky with any intention, or hope, of
it's being an agent to assist him in his
sales, but he was arrested and taken
into court on the charge of treating,
which is against the law. The jury
was out for a long time and finally
disagreed. 1t is the first case in the
state against a man on the charge OF
treating. Many people are unaware OF
that provision in the law, and it has al
ways been regarded as a dead letter,

Our College Girls Teach the Beers.

Mount Holyoke colleges system
of education has been introduced
among the Beers, and more than
seventy-fve teachers and graduates
of Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Smith
and Wellesley have gone out to
South Africa in the last twenty-five
years to teach the daughters of the
Dutch. 1t began in this way: DR..
Andrew Murray, a Dutch minister in
South Africa, read a life of Mary Lyon,
the founder of Mount HolyOke, and
was impressed SO much with her work
that he established a similar school
for girls in Wellington, South Africa,
sending to Mount Holyoke at once for
teachers. Before long there were 400
pupils, and already 500 teachers have
been sent out from this school. SINH
lar seminaries have been established in
Graaf-Reinet, Bloemfontein, Johannes
burg and Worcester, the one in the
latter place having been endowed by
a citizen of Worcester, Mass.

FUNCTIONS OF A NEWSPAPER.
People Make the News, the Paper Holds
Up the Picture.

Up the Picture.
There are two qualities of human
nature that seem to be inherent in the
article. 1t is natural and it is human.
This accounts for a great many things
that people do. For one thing, mourn
it as we may, they love a fight. The
successful warrior is the ideal, popular
hero. What is war but wholesale
fighting? History, as it has been writ
ten for centuries, is little but the rec
ord of battles. Old Hobbies, who con-
tended that war was the natural state
of man, and that the intervals of peace
were artificial situations, had a good
deal on his side of the argument. Now,
with these things as they are, it is
human and natural that such an affair
as that prize fight last week should
attract much attention. You cannot
help it. 1t was the event of its hour.
Men and women stood for hours late at
night in the driving rain to find out how
the two brutes were pummeling each
other, and which was getting the best
of it. Disgusting, truly, but what are
you going to do about it? We have
heard of some criticism Of the news
morning. Well, if they had not printed
it they would have ceased to be news
papers. That's all about that. A news
paper is a daily publication that gives
the news. 1t does not print what GER
tain people wish to have happen, but
what does happen. 1t does not make
the news, but publishes it. We are no
more responsible for that prize fight
than for the Charleston earthquake of
some years ago. We described both as
well as we could. That's our business.
We are not defending the brutal and
brutalizing business of prize fighting.
But, in detail, it has this advantage
I'VE war: The innocent do not get
killed by it. 1t probably cause little
suffering, as the brutes engaged in the
sport have every appearance of being
practically incapable of the finer feel
ings, and evidently have very inferior
sensibility. 1t calls for no sympathy.
No harm would be done the world if
the two contestants should kill each
OCner IL is merely a contest w
two human animals who test thereby
(unless the pool box interests prevent)
their respective ability to give and
Withstand punches. Such entertain
ments are crowded. Not to publish the
results of an affair as that of last
week would have taken a paper out oil
the category of newspapers. Even the
very few who objected to it's appear.
ance would, in all probability, have
, looked into some other paper to see
: just how bad it was if omitted from
, their own. The fact is that the news
is made by the world at large, and thu
f newspaper simply holds up the picture
: of the passing procession.-Hartfort
Courant.

Watermelon a Rival to Sugar Cane

Watermelon a Rival to Sugar Cane.
D. Hansz, farmer and gardener, has
recently made some successful expert
ments in obtaining an excellent quail
ty of strip from watermelons. He will
shortly attempt to convert some of the
strip into sugar, and expects to be
successful. Mr.. Hansz figures a big
profit in melons if used for making
sirups. From Is melons, weighing
20 to rs pounds" he said, 1--WE made
two gallons and one pint of strip. We
cut the melons in halves, cut out the
pulp, ground it in a cider mill, and
pressed out the juice. We boiled the
juice in porcelain kettles on the kitch-
en- stove for II hours. With a cider
mill and hot air or steam evaporation,
two men can make rs to 80 gallons of
strip a day. At the above figures it
would take about 270 melons to make
80 gallons of strip, worth SIS. The
melons would be worth at wholesale
about IS or Sc, and it would take two
or three days to haul and sell them
at market. With a mill and evapo-
rator in the melon patch, a farmer and
one or two hands could realize 100 per
cent more by making them into strip,
and feeding the refuse to hogs, cattle,
horses and chickens, which eat it
readily.-Bowling Green (Ky.) News.

three, four, he counted. Then he re-
membered that he was unarmed.
A rocky defle opened around him
as he drew steadily up to the group of
horsemen that galloped wildly ahead
of him. One of them turned in his
saddle, and a shot came whistling
back. Then they all drew rein, and a
~corporal's heart beat thick and fast az
he saw a white patch drop from the
saddle bow of the leader.
1t was Chubby, unframed; for she
ran a little way, then paused, and
perched herself on a small bowlder.
The horse beneath him Numbered
on. He saw the horsemen draw to-
gether, while four rifles were leveled
at his breast. A squirt OF flame, a
| sharp whistling about his ears, and
he was upon them. One horse rolled
over before his as he crashed into the
group and felt his outstretched hand
grip the beard and the jaw of the man
he had marked. There was a sharp
jerk. His knees frightened on the sad
die with a grip that twisted the mus
cles of his thighs to writhing knots Of
redhot iron. He heard a crash behind
him, and saw that his right fist gripped
a handful of dark hair. He reigned
his horse upon his launches and
turned again. Two men lay on the
ground very still, and a small voice
cried from a n~eighboring bowlder: GO
it, Beano!"
The other two men had dismounted
and were crouching behind a bowlder.
which quickly sent forth two jets OF
flame, seemingly emptying MacBean's
saddle. He had fallen on the body
of one of the men who lay so still, and
his enemies arose as they saw his
body twitch. Corporal MacBean was
Stimulating the last agonies of death
as he slipped one of the scattered car
tridges into the breech of his fallen
foes rifle. Two knives smoked out
of their sheaths as his adversaries ran
toward him. Then the corporal, cud'
ding his rife between his knees, Bis
ley fashion, sighted and fired. The
rign,-nand man toppled and fell, while
the other doubled and ran just 30(
yards before the pursuing bullet tool
him between the shoulder blades, So
that his soul went out in n grea'
cough.
Then he ran and picked up the LITTLE
white figure that danced excitedly OIL
the bowlder, straining her to hi
broad chest in a paroxysm of relief.
II was frightened a little bit unit
1 saw you coming" admitted Chubby
"but l didn't 'oller. What makes yo1
shake so, Beano? Are you cold, too?
"It is a bit chilly, missile, isn't it?
said the corporal, as he wrapped he
in his jacket and carried her to hi
horse.
Whats the matter with thos
naughty men," added Chubb,
They've gone to Sleep"
Eyes, missile; they're very tire
