when Lawton Was Scared.

Many good stories about Gen. Lawton
have come to the surface since his death
says the Army and Navy Journal Mai
Putnam Bradess Strong, who was on tnc
staff of Gen. Macarthur in the Philip
pines, says Lawton confessed to being
afraid once in his life. That was when he
was riding with mis- 12-year-old son, Man
ley, past Pace Cemetery at Manila. Il
seems that a Montana detail had just bur
led a comrade when a California burying
detail came up. Somehow they failed
to get cartridges and asked the Montanas
for some. The latter had nothing but ball
cartridges.
"Oh, they'll do" said the California ser-
geant.
Ready, fire." came the order a moment
later.
The bullets went whiZzing over the grave
and over the stone wall, on the other side
of which was riding Gen. Lawton, his
head only few inches below the wall
The bullets made a breeze as they went
past. THAT was the only time / can re-
member being scared said the General
later but my boy spoke up and said:
Papa, is this like being under real fire?

TWO POINTS IN THE CANAL, LEGIs.
LATION

1t Is stated in the Washington dis
patches that the understanding there is
that Great Britain will within a very short
time announce that she abandons all the
rights she has under the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty so far as the Nicaragua canal is
concerned. She will raise no objections
10 the building of the canal by the United
States on their own terms and in accord
ance with their own views. It is be.
lieved that Great Britain has reached this
conclusion on account of her reverses in
South AfEIca, being DESTROYS of doing moth
ing that would likely provoke nl-feeling
towards her in this country. OF course
it canuot be stated as a fact that she has
taken the foregoing course in respect 10
the treaty and 1t will not be possible to
state it until there is some announcement
of 1t from authoritative sources.
The other point is that the appropriation
in the Nicaragua canal bin has been re-
duced from $ll0GOO,0OO to $40.OOO.OOO The
reason for this reduction is not stated. and
it seems that the committee which has
charge of the bill refuses to make anv de-
tailed statement in respect TO the mai
ter. The best opinion is that the Repub-
llcan party is afraid to make such a large
appropriation at one time. 1t might be
charged that the party was extravagant.
The contract for the building of the
canal is, however to be continuing one
1t Will, in fact, be a contract similar to
that under which the Savannah river was
improved. il must not be understood.
however, that it is certain that a canal
bin will be passed at this session of Con
gress. The most that can be said is that
the indications are that it win. If re-
ports are to be credited the transconti-
mental railways have Withdrawn their op-
position to the canal. with that opposi-
ton out of the way and the people in favo,
of the canal there ought not to be very
great delay in passing the bill.

Never saw Any shakespeare.

A young woman and her escort were on
a Euclid car Monday evening, and when
the Opera House was reached the young
woman looked through the window at the
long line of carriages stretching in both
directions from the brilliantly lighted en-
trance, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Most of the passengers were Opera House
patrons, and as they passed out the
young woman looked around inquiringly
at her escort.
Il was goin' to get seats for tn show
in there, he said in clearly audible voice
as he indicated the Opera House with ex-
tended thumb, but 1 knew you woudn t
care for it,"
What's the play?" inquired the young
woman.
Shakespeare said the escort;
that all he plays; just Shakespeare. It's
Irwin, you know. Him an Elm Terry.
They're English. An they don't play
nothin' but Shakespeare. 1 know you
wouldn't care for that. ITS chestnutty.'
the young woman.
The escort laughed as if he meant to
Danish all possible regrets that the young
woman might entertain.
That reminds me of tn funny story of
tn Dutch saloonkeeper he chuckled.
Ever hear it,"
No" said the young woman as she
looked around through the rear car win
dow at the flashing entrance.
ITS like this,' said the escort. "a guy
with a Shakespeare under his arm comes
into the Dutchman's saloon an says,
Dye want any Shakespeare?' The Dutch
man shakes his head. No he says, I've
got Cleveland beer, und Schlitz beer, and
Pabst beer, und l ton't care TO change
The fellow with the Shakespeare looks as
tonished This is a book he says I've
got blenty book beer. too, says the
Dutchman-ha, ha, haw
But the girl didn't laugh.
A shadow had fallen across her even
ing's pleasure
She looked back once more as the slow
moving car swung around the corner of
the square.
Il never saw any Shakespeare" she
plaintively murmured.

An Excuse That Failed,

Charles Miller, a Standard on magnate
whose home is in Franklin, Pa, has pre-
cocious son less than 10 years old in whom
hard business sense and worldly caution
are highly developed says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post One day Mr.
Miller said to his son:
my boy us time for you to go to bed.
! want you 10 get up bright and early to-
morrow and go to church with me-"
Il don't think / care about going ia
church tomorrow" replied Master Miller.

"WeM?"

about the devil-awful hard things about
him"
''Wen?"
Don't you think, papa, that II we lis
tened to that sermon It would be rather
unpleasant IL we ever met the devil some
day."
But the boy went to church in spite of
his clever excuse.

TRYING TO SAVE THEIR PARTY.

The Texas Populists, it seems, have an
idea that the Populist National Party
amounts to something-that it is big
enough to command consideration. They
have a scheme to make the Democratic
National Party play the part of tail to
their kite.
According to our dispatches yesterday
the Texas Populsts propose that their
national party shall hold its convention
before the convention of the Democratic
National Party is held, and adopt the
Omaha platform with an additional plank
providing for direct legislation making this
last plank the leading issue of the cam
paign Their idea is that if the Populist
National Party does this, and dominates
Mr.. Bryan for President, and a Southern
man for Vice President, the Democrats
will do nothing more than meet and en-
dorse what the Populists have done.
II seems to US that these Texas Popu
lists have an enlarged idea of their own
Importance and very erroneous one of
the Importance of the Democratic party.
They even seem to think that Mr.. Bryan
would refuse to accept the nomination of
not endorse the platform of the Populists.
1t is pretty safe to say that Mr.. Bryan
is not so lacking in political sense as to
accept the nomina ton of the Populists
before he has been rendered and has ac-
cepted the nomination of the Democratic
party, and it is not likely that he would
accept the nomination of the Populists If
their platform, in all essential particu-
lars, was not in harmony with that of the
Democratic party.
But if Mr.. Bryan should accept the
Populist nomination, and the Populists
say he would, and then should attempt to
bulldoze the Democrats into endorsing
the Populist platform by threatening to
refuse to accept their nomination, he.
would find that he had made the most Sc
rious mistake of his life. He would be
made to understand that he was not the
only presidential timber in the Democrat
ic party 1t is no doubt the intention of
the Democrats to nominate Mr.. Bryan
for President but they will not be die
tated to by him. He will accept the NOM
nation on the terms they make if he
accepts it at all, not on terms he will
make, and certainly not on terms made
by Populists
As matter of fact the Populist party
is Of so little consequence that it is not
causing the Democratic leaders any I'M
easiness. The states in which it amounts
to anything are so surely Democratic that
it is of no consequence whether they vote
for the Democratic nominee for President
or do not vote al all These Texas Popu-
lists take themselves too seriously.
