He Made Up the Deficiency

The late c. P. Huntington but once de- parted from a rule he made early in life to attend strictly to his own business and re- fuse to interfere with the duties of others says the Chicago Chronicle. This exception to the rule occurred only couple of years ago. The story runs that there was con sternation in the big Southern Pacific building in San Francisco one day when it Was discovered that Uncle Sam had been given a rate for the transportation of freight from the East to San Francisco for the War Department-a rate which was far below the schedule figures.
 'Who was the fool that fixed this rate?' demanded J. c. Stubbs of a subordinate.
 But nobody could tell An investigation was ordered and in the course of time it was discovered that the ratesmasher in Uncle Sams favor was none other than C. P. Huntington himself It appeared that somebody connected with the government had asked him to fix the rate, and he did so, but had failed to take into consdera- ton the percentage to which connecting roads were entitled. He was notified by MT. Stubbs that he would have to pay the diff ference out of his own pocket and the mon ey was promptly forthcoming.

Butler Had Too Much Weight

The story about Lord Roberts and Gen eral Butler and the Pretoria steeplechase jumps does much credit to both, relates Pearson's Illustrated News. Come, Bull Ter, let us take the jumps," said the little man. "Too old for that. sir" replied the big one. and then little Bobs' cantered forward and cleared the lot like a bird.
 It is very credtable to the veteran Field Marshal to be so "spry' at 6S, but it is no less meritorious on Buffers part that he should candidly realize the limitations which time has imposed upon him. What Lord Roberts exact fighting weight may be we do not know, though in his book he records that after a hot and trying. spell in Calcutta he was pulled down to eight nothing or thereabout. Sir Redvers prob ably weighs at least twice as much.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Invariably Gains Ills Point

The President is indeed a peacemaker, re- lates a Washington correspondent in the Chicago Times-Herald. It is tolerably well known that the unanimous nomination of Governor Roosevelt at Philadelphia was brought about by the Presidents positive orders that his friends should not persist in their efforts to nominate some other cadidate-a conclusion which was, as every one now admits, the best thing that could have happened to the Republican national cause. But it is not so well known that it was the Presidents personal efforts that patched up truce between the Republi- can factions in Delaware and admitted Addicks and his crowd to the national con vention-a truce which is likely to assure the electoral vote of Delaware to the Me- Kinley ticket. It was the President, too, who arranged the peace which now pre- vails among the Republicans of Ohio-a peace which puts the party in that State in better fighting trim than it has been for many years There are plenty of other states in which the peacemaking procilivi- ties of the President have brought about wholesome results. The Presidents hand has ever soft and emollient touch. In legislation and politics he rarely makes a fronta attack, but finds the easy and eff fective way around. Results are what he is aiming at-the strength of the Me- Kinley administration and the success of the Republican party. As some one here in Washington has said:
 "The President compromises and com- promises-and in the end he comprises"

SAYS PONY MEAT Is GOOD

From the Boston Beacon.
 The Secretary of Agriculture is authority for the statement that thousands of cayuse ponies are annually killed and shipped to Sweden for eating. Nor is the meat bad. The animal is small, weighing about 700 pounds. The ponies live entirely on grass, and most of them never do a days work. Their meat is said to be of delicate flavor and tender,

Dispensary Against Prohibition.

South Carolina Democrats baloted on Tuesday last for all officers from United States Senator down to beat constables, in- cluding Congressmen. It was the real elec- ton day, although If an aspirant did not command a majority of all votes cast for particular office there must be a second primary two weeks later confined to the two highest. It is the State primary sys- tenn in full bloom and beneficence, and is the forerunner of the national primary, when the average man will have voice in the selection of his Presidential candi- date. The country moves slowly, but still it Is moving, and the movement is away from conventions and bosses and towards the people.
 In South Carolina the vote is consoll- dated and officially announced, and the surprising thing in connection with the South Carolina primary is that James A. Hoyt, of Greenville, representing the pro- hibition sentiment of the state, ran neck and-neck with Governor McSweeney, who favored the dispensary system. He did not poll clear majority of the vote, but the indications are that when he and Governor McSweeney are brought face to face in the coming primary either may be the winner. In other words, the dispensary seems to lead, not to high li- cense or the wide open system but to pro- hfbiHon.
 Senator Tilman ran on Tuesday for United States Senator. He had no opposi- ton, but as he had stumped the State in favor of his pet dispensary scheme, his vote was materially reduced. He will, how ever, succeed himself in the Senate as all Democratic nominees for the legislature are pledged to support him under the State primary system.
 The State primary system befits the State that is full of cotton factories, enterprise and intelligence. South Carolina always was a leader in political thought; and she is losing no reputa tion at present. Sine was the first to apply the primary system in it's broadest and best form to all nominations.

The present city building is not only in- adequate as to space accommodation for the citys business, but the rickety old structure is fit to fall down. Former Mayor Fox declares that in his opinion the build ing would have partially collapsed if the heavy rains of the last days of June and first days of July had continued few days longer. In appearance the building is dis reputable: it lends to all visitors bad impression of Birmingham, and in that par tcular is doubtless costing the public far more than the interest on S200,0o0, or on twice that sum.

a demand upon the part Of the imperial
government Of Japan that the Colorado

rather an exhibition of Ignorance than a
