Magician and the King.

Being magician and a world Travelled
player, his wanderings set him upon one
occasion in faraway New Zealand. 1t
was arranged that he should give an ex-
hibition of minoreading before the King
of the Maoris.
After some parleying it was decided that
the King himself should conceal the ar
ticle which the magician was to discover
The mindreader left the room, and after
a time was brought back blindfolded. as
is the custom in such performances. After
some time the magician declared that the
hidden article was in the Kings mouth
His Majesty shook his head savagely in
the negative. The magician insisted upon
his point, and demanded that the Kings
mouth be opened wide. The King refused
The magician insisted, and great excite
ment prevailed" until at last the dusky
King reluctantly opened his jaws. The
article was not there.
The next instant, however, the King was
taken with a violet fit of coughing. He
had tried to swallow the lost article, a but
ton, but could not. and was compelled TO
cough II up. The Maoris were uproar-
ious. They did not know which to add
mire the more-the wisdom of the magi-
clan or the heroism of the King.

TROUBLESOME REPUBLICAN sENA-
TORS.


Senator Wellington of Maryland, and
Senator Mason of Illinois, two Republic
cans, are annoying Mr.. Mckinley. Sena-
tor Wellington is against Mr.. Mckinley
and his administration because, as he
says. Mr.. Mckinley deceived him in the
matter of the Philippines. He was oppos-
ed to the Paris peace treaty. and did not
intend to vote for it, but Mr.. Mckinley
won him over by telling him that II was
not the intention of himself or the gov
ernmen. to forcibly hold or permanently
acquire the Philippines. He also told the
Senator, so the Senator says, that IL was
his personal desire TO restore order in the
islands, then submit the matter to Con-
gress with the idea of having it grant
absolute freedom and self government to
the Filipinos. MIR. Mckinley did not act
in accordance with the understanding on
which he obtained the Senator's vote for
the treaty. The treaty was ratified by one
vote. Senator Wellington would not have
voted for 1t II Mr.. Mckinley had not de-
ceived him. and the treaty would not have
been ratified. The Senator, therefore, has
good reasons for opposing the reelection
of Mr.. Mckinley, and he will take the
stump and tell the people that 1t is their
duty to vote for Mr.. Bryan.
Senator Mason is going to make
speeches for Mr.. Mckinley, but, for all
that, he does not like Mr.. McKinley's
Secretary of State. Mr.. Hay. He says that
Mr. Hay is too much of a Brtisher. and
that Mr. Pauncefote, the British minis
ter, has only to give him a dinner 20 get
what he wants from him. He holds Mr.
Hay responsible for giving to the British
big slice of American territory in
Alaska.
The Alaska boundary line Is not settled
yet. but from all accounts Mr.. Hay has
entered into temporary understanding
with the British government in respect to
IT, Great Britain seems to have played
shrewd game in the negotiations. Can
ada wanted a harbor on the Pacific coast.
She claimed large tract of our terri
tory in Alaska. All OF II was inside the
boundary line agreed upon by Russia and
Great Britain when Alaska was Russian
territory. The United States. Of course,
got what belonged to Russia. Great Bri-
tain took up the matter for Canada. She
said in effect that she did not want any
trouble about the matter. Give
Canada, she said, little strip
that contains a harbor on the Pa
cic and take the rest. about nineteen
twentieths OF the entire claim. Mr. Hay
seems to have thought he was getting a
bargain in retaining nineteen-twentieths
OF the disputed territory, and giving up
cne-twentieth. Apparently he overlooked
the fact that Canada had no just claim to
the one-twentieth, or any other part of
the territory
Congress, however, will not ratify the
agreement into which Mr.. Hay has en-
tered unless It can be shown beyond a
doubt that Canada has a right TO the ter
rtory in question. And when the matter
ccm mes up in the Senate. Senator William
Mason VIII have something to say about
Mr.. Hay the B~'tisher" in Mr.. MeKin-
iey's cabinet.

He Wouldn't Do.

A well-dresed lad the son of wealthy
parents, thought ii would be quite manly
to earn few coppers for himself by sell
ing newspapers, says Spare Moments. He
stopped tattered newsboy in the street,
and said TO him:
DO you think I should be able to earn
money as you do if 1 bought some papers
and came to this corner TO sell them?"
why do you want to sell papers?"
IT tired of being idle
We'll" said the philosophic little news
boy, with a serious air, dyer think you
can hold twenty papers in one hand lick
three or four boys bigger'n yerself with
the other hand, while yer keeps two more
off with yer feet, and yells War 'dtionn
all the time?'
Moo. 1 don't" replied the well-dressed
boy.
Then yere no good in the newspaper
biz" replied the tattered philosopher,
you'd better get yer people to prentice
yer to something light"

some Poetical signs

Tradesmen in all parts of the country
often hang out curious signs to draw pa
irons to their establishments, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. In a little Surrey village a
few months ago, a doctor of medicine en-
tered into partnership with doctor OF
divinity, and they instructed the local
sign writer to paint the following inscrip-
ton on a huge board. which they fixed
above their front door:
Dr. James and Rev. Jones
Are the most popular men about town,
Every one knows us from Royalty down
For our name and high fame
Eclipse all other renown.
Your soul is mended by the Rev. Jones,
DR. James mends your body and bones
There is an old farm house nesting in
a hollow behind a green hill in Somerset
which attracts visitors with the follow
ing quaint sign:
The glasses sparkle on our board,
Our port is ruby bright
Your appetite is soon restored,
Our luncheons give delight.
A little wayside inn in Wales has a
huge swinging sign over the doorway to
arrest the attention of all thirsty passers-
by. The writing Is in Welsh, which, trans
lated in to English, runs:
I've lived here now for quite an age,
My name by birth is Richard Page.
I'm licensed to sell beer and wine,
But my cyder, though, is very fine.
An enterprising publican in the north
Of London placed the following notice out
side his bar to draw trade:
North South. East, and West, my ale is
the best.
In the right sense please receive the little
jest.
Wine, ale, cyder-to my board come
haste
Take free sample, twill approve your
taste.
There is a little out-of-the- world place
near Tough Quittane, Killarney, where
thirsty travellers stay awhile to refresh
themselves in summer The following
verse can be seen painted over the porch
Oh! IL to my house you are bound,
You must come across the ferry:
Then, for the elghtieth of a pound,
/ supply the finest sherry.
The story OF the barber who took people
in with his clever sign is worth reiterat-
ing. The sign bore the words:
What do you think
l shave YOU for nothing
And give you a drink.
One day well-known doctor, after the
tonsorial artist had finished shaving him
asked for the free drink. The barber then
showed his customer how to punctuate
the sentence. a thing he had omitted "a
do himself. This is how II really ran:
What do you think / shave you for
nothing. and give you a drink?

A Midsummer Shark story.

The latest seaside story is 20 the effect
that a 6O-year-old bather, named Kupfer,
at Long Branch, on Saturday last, caught
big shark by the tail and dragged it
ashore. kupfer is said to be quite ac-
customed to that sort of thing, too, hav-
ing frequently fought sharks in the
water off the coast of Australia, and cap
tured them with ease" To adopt the
New York Herald's narration of the Long
Branch event, while Kupfer was bath
ing in deep water he observed the fin of
big shark very close to him. He knew
exactly what to do. The more noise he
made the less danger he would be in. So
he attacked the shark, shouting and kick
ing UP as much fuss in the water as the
propeller of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
on record-breallng squirt These tactics
completely disconnected the shark, which
turned tail. But that was exactly what
Kupfer wanted. He grasped the TAIL and,
thinking one good turn deserved another,
threw the fish over on its back, and
dragged 1t triumphantly to the beach,"

THE POLK MANSION,

The mansion of James X. Polk, eleventh
president of the United States, at Nash
vile, is being torn down, and the site will
soon be occupied by tenement block. The
old mansion was a very imposing building,
situated in a most prominent part of the
city near the State Capitol. It's archi-
lecture was of the colonial STYLE which
never loses its charm even in these later
days of architectural frills and furbelows.
and around the building there naturally
clustered historical "reminiscences of more
than ordinary interest.
There was for some time an effort 20
purchase the mansion and grounds and
hold them as a semi-public trust But
the people took little interest in the move
ment. They were not sufficiently inter-
ested in President Polk 10 give money 10
set aside his old homestead as monu-
ment to him. Most persons in this coun-
try know of him in a general sort of way
as having been President at one time.
without having any clear conception of
the chief events of his administration
Nevertheless his biographers claim that
his administration was brilliant in the
extreme" while history shows that he was
the chief executive under whose guidance
a great war with Mexico was fought and
the great and rich territory from Oregon
to the Rio Grande was added to the do
minion of the United States. He was an
expansionst, a great expansionst, VINO
believed In adding to this country all of
the contiguous territory possible that
could one day be erected into sovereign
states of the American union.
Mount Vernon, the home of Washington,
the aristocrat who descended to the COM
mon level to fight the battles of the people,
is national charge. Monticello, the
home of Thomas jefferson, continues to be
private property in so far as ownership of
title is concerned but the old mansion is
revered by the public. who would never
permit it to be destroyed or desecrated.
Beauvoir, the last home of Jefferson
Davis, is to be perpetuated as a hallowed
spot by the people of the South. The
homes of Washington, jefferson and Davis
are preserved and loved because the for
ner masters OF them represented great
principles which were, and still are, close
to the hearts of the people. President Polk
did not represent any principle so great
and abiding. There are many persons
who regard the war with Mexico as M
justifiable. President Grant was among
the number of such persons. In his book
he wrote: II was bitterly opposed to the
(annexation) measure, and to this day re-
gard the war which resulted as one of the
most unjust ever waged by a stronger
against a weaker nation. 1t was an in
stance of republic following the bad ex-
ample of European monarchies in not con-
sidering justice in their desire to acquire
additional territory"
Is there not lesson somewhere In this
matter for President Mckinley? II Presi-
dent Polk who added great and rich ter
ritory to the sisterhood of states, failed to
win the enduring affections of his people
what shall be said of the President who
proposes to hold in subsection territory
thousands of miles from our shores that
can never be made into states, and whose
people must remain vassals?

The other day we reprinted from the st.
James Gazette, 0ondon,) as a literary
curiosity. an advertisement of a japanese

the Rising Sun. Yesterdays mail brought
us from Florida letter from "a hand

ter" who is sure that he would just fill

gun with a capital letter, to col

ing abstruse problems of political and So

draw it at becoming a matchmaker be-

employment. Presumably the Republican

Senator Tillman continues to use his
pitchfork upon the preachers of South
Carolina. In his speech in Greenville, a
day or two ago. he repeated his charge
that they were in an ''unholy alliance with
the barkeepers," and went further TO the
length of imputing to them dishonesty and
unfairness. IF the preachers were hon
est and fair" he said they would do
thus and so, in accordance with Tillman's
ideas, of course. Probably the Greenville
News gets at the core of the matter when
it says: THE plain, unvarnished truth
is he has been SO long dictator in South
Carolina that he considers 1t a personal
affront, one that cannot be tolerated, that
anybody should differ with him." Never
theless. the voters seem TO be content that
the state shall remain Tillmans pocket
