The Masculine Shirt-wafst.

Providence Journal
AS 1t is men can dispense with coats
provided of course they wear belts and
not suspenders-while engaged in active
exercise on the golf links or elsewhere
or while yachting or rowing. This is no
comfort, however. to one who tolls in the
sitting city, and 1t is in his behalf that
the privilege Of appearing eoatless on the
street IS asked. His case is a hard one,
especially when he sees women loking SO
delightfully."- comfortable without coats,
and yet he ought to be willing to suffer
rather than be the cause of a general
lowering of the moral tone. The shirt
waist for men may yet demonstrate its
utility. but at present he who ions it runs
a terrible risk of sartorial degradation.

The Warming of History.

Philadelphia Record
Apart from the petty meannesses such
as those showing in China now that Eng
land has never engaged in real war with
out an ally until she met the Beers, and
the success of a quarter of a million men
against less than 10000 has been of kind
that warns her of the danger of playing
her own hand. 1t may be that the course
of events may hold us involved in the OPP
erations in China, but there is no reason
why we should be irritated by false and
malicious reports from English sources
or that we should be tolerant of British
petty spite and jealousy or be a cat's-paw
for England's lawless avarice

The sweet bells ring Der vale and slope
The unforgotten songs of hope.
Not in the gloom, but in the bloom
Our grace-our glory summing:

The light-Jhe light is coming!
Still ring the bells Ger vale and slope
The untorgotten songs Of hope!

THE FARMERS LEARNING.

During the past week an interstate
convention of farmers has been in ses-
sion at Topeka, Kansas, the delegates
representing Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Indiana, North and South
Dakota. Kansas and Oklahoma.
The main object Of the gathering
was to form a farmers trust, with a
capital of twenty million dollars, with
warehouses and shipping centres at
Kansas City, Chicago, Minneapolis,
Galveston and New York, and any
farmer holding a share of stock in the
corps ration will be entitled to have
his products, including live stock,
handled by the corporation at nom
inal commission, the management to
havetthe power to regulate prices, adj
vanci1g and lessening them whenever
the col,Sitions appear to call for a
change.
The probabilities are that this pro-
ject wili'not succeed. The same thing
has been tried before, in a variety Of
ways, and while sometimes successful
for brief period, ultimate failure has
been scored. 1t takes men with mill
! ions to make an effective trust; but
it may be that in the course of time'
the farmers and producers of the Mid.
die West will earn the inside workings,
I'of the scheme to such perfection thae'
''they will be enabled to protect them
selves against the stock-jobbing corr
binations which now dictate the price,
the farmer must accept for the product
OF his broad acres, as well as the price
he must pay for necessaries.

THE NEWSPAPER THIEF.

Down in louisville the newspaper
thief fourishes, and he is not content
with stealing papers from subscribers,
but assaults carriers as well, a case
II. point being the beating of Arthur
Esterle, a Courier-Journal employee,
who was assailed by William Nurse, a
negro newspaper thief. The Courier
Journal says:
''Esterle says the negro stole newspa-
pers from the yards of subscribers. Nurse.
therefore. Will not only be prosecuted for
attacking the carrier, but also on the
charge of stealing papers. Newspaper
Steallng mas become so prevalent that it
- proposed to use every effort to punish
any person guilty of it, 1t is a source
OF trouble not only to the newspaper pub
Usher but to the reader. If Nurse is
guilty Is 1t not intended that he shall go
free.
The absence OF any protected spot in

20 do with the reign of thieves Former
~ the storm doors" served as a safe
guard. and the old letter boxes attached to
the gate also furnished 4 protection. but
modern houses do not afford such con-
Veniences."
Subscribers should endeavor to pro-
vide some safe place for the delivery
OF their papers. They should also CO.
operate with the paper to let no guilty
person escape.
