WITTY MIND OF THE AMER,
Draws n Comparison which Finally
Penetrated the English Sense OF
HumOr-HIs CriticiamB.

The ameer, who is a diligent student
OF things English, has compared the
imperial parliament to the Kabul Turk
ish bath. Riddle-Why is parliament
like the Kabul Turkish bath? Mr..
Frank Martin, who was the ameer's
listener when the comparison was
made, could not guess, because he had
not been there. The ameer, says the
London News, would not be drawn, but
simply advised Mr.. Martin to 60 to the
Hamam. When he went he found ''ths

overhead reveI berated with calls for
towels, soap and loud-voiced converse

ual words and the words themselves
became lost in the confusion Of sounds

The ameer's riddle was answered. It

Mckinley sees Troublesome Times.

The troubles Of the president and
his party managers multiply. When
congress met the sky was clear. The
presidents message won particular ia
vor. If Hanna's defense Of the trusts
worried anybody there was no evidence
that Mckinley was in sympathy with
it. We were to have reciprocity trea-
ties to modify the Dingley tariff and
give the trusts a black eye. There was
to be free trade with Porto Rico in
spite of the trusts, and, therefore, no
imperial policy.
Things have happened since then.
Not only has the president shown a
lack of backbone by abandoning what
he calls "plain duty" and "evident
justice" but his surrender is cOnstrU-
ed as in the interests Of the trusts
The explanations offered in his behalf
do not explain. Quite as bad, the re-
fusaI to treat the Porto Ricans as cit
liens of the United States means i'm
perialism IN its worst form and not ex-
psnsion. This is why the German ed.
itors OF ten states have decided, in con
ference, that they cannot support Pres
ident Mckinley for another term. The
financial question is out of the way fol-
six years, and they cannot be frighten-
ed back into the traces in which they
worked in 1896, when, as they cOnsid

Barbara Frietchie- a Reality.

Washington, D. C.-For long time
the historical accuracy of Mr.. Whittier's
poem on Barbara Frietchie" has been
disputed. It has even been said that
she was herself a fiction, and those
who have admitted her existence have
claimed that she never Haunted a IN
ion flag in the face of Stonewan Jack
son and the confederate army; but the
question seems to have been officially
settled yesterday, when a delegation of
sixty Of the most prominent residents
Of the city Of Fredrick, Nd, appeared
before the committee on claims of the
senate and house, asking an appropria-
ton of 100000 to reimburse them for
the indemnity they paid Gen. Early in
1862 to save friedrich from destruc-
ton. During the course of the hearing
Mr.. Depew asked whether the story of
Barbara Frietchie, as told by Mr.. Whit
tier, was true.
Col. GOldsbOrOUgh, one of the most
prominent citizens Of Frederick, said
that he knew the old lady well, and
that Whittier's poem very closely fol
lowed the facts. The flag was raised
by Mrs. Frietchie as the confederates
were marching out Of town, and it re-
NAMED in her window until Burnside
| came in. A numer Of Burnside's staff

Following Bunch Of steers.

Tt was recently remarked at a Ger

AprOpOs to the foregoing, the Alme-
ma Lantern shed its light on this sub
jet last week in the following Iumin-
Gus manner:
aReeder reminds Us Of the leading
character in Hoyt's, "A Texas Steer.
Speaking Of following off a bunch of
steers recalls the illustration used by
a quaint old Methodist preacher back
east He was denouncing the tendency
in some localities for MethOdists to
leave the grand old church, in which
they were converted, to join some more
influential, wealthy and stylish church
"Why, brethren and sisters said
the good old man, you'll miss the
prayer and class meeting; you'll miss
the love feast, you'll miss spiritual
fellowship and you may miss Of Heav-

To illustrate the subject he told this
story.
A farmers boy was herding some
young, thrifty calves by the roadside
while their mothers were grazing
in a distant pasture. A drover came
along with a drove Of steers. The
calves ran after the steers, and the boy
ran after the calves for about a mile
Out Of breath and out Of patience, un.
able even with the drOver's assistance
to head them off, he rolled on the gras:
and shouted: $50 it, you fools, you
you'll find the difference when you

so it is, brethren and sisters SAID
the old preacher with a twinkle IN his
eye, ''you follow off these new-fanglec
churches and you'll starve to death"
