THE RECENT decision of Judge Loeb
ran, of the u. s. court for Minnesota
to the effect that the Constitution OF the
United States is 90 operative In Porto
Rico ss it is in his own State, seems TO
be giving the administration at least
some annoyance, If not trouble, though
90 subseryient are the people now, that
hardly anything gives it mucn oil
the latter, as the Attorney General has
telegraphed the Judge for copy OF It,
II the Judge be correct, how tariff can
be imposed upon imports from Porto
Rico lie hard to tell, by anybody except
but the President, who, short time
ago, said there should be free trade with
that island.

THE WARM AFRICA.

Lord Roberts keeps hammeriDP

crossing of the Vet river, 81 miles
aorth of Bloemfontein and 200 miles
short of his goal-Pretoria. News OF
his was csbled by the British COM
mander-in-chief in dispatch made
public by the London War Office yes
terdsy.
Beers are on the north bank of the
Vet in considerable force. Their OBJ
ject seems to be to delay Lord Roberts
as much as possible until he reaches
Kroonstasd, 60 miles north OF bis pres.
ent position, when they are expected
to make d, termined stand. There
vas long battle at the Vet river be-.
fore the British crossed.
1t Is believed in London that the
crossing of the Vet was not effected
without considerable loss. Lord Rob-
erts cables sour casualties, hope,
are not numerous"
As he advances Lord Roberts opens
the railroad behind him. Trains are
already running as far north as Brand

Upon the supremacy of the law, free

true that its enforcement should be
qualified by equity. But when a MAJ
deliberately defies the law and boldly

factor in the case aud he should be
made to suffer the full penalty to which

HUMOR OF ENGLISH
AND AMERICAN LITERATURE.
XII

When Washington Irving in 1909 pub
iishec his "Knickerbocker's History OF
New York; he certainly did not dream
that he had made the initial book Of a
new and great literature. nor that he had
given to his countrymen humorous work
that they were not to see surpassed for
at least a century. Nothing had been
further from the authors intent He
had begun the book as a huge practical
joke; 1t was to be burlesque on a GER
tain pompous handbook Of New York.
He was scarcely out of his boyhood. The
world weg a merry comedy; be was bub-
bling over with life and animal spirits
and the JOY Of existence, and he wrote
for the mere delight OF IT, The result
was a spontaneous overflow Of fun and
satire. OF wit and humor and gay bur-
lesque. Nowhere else in English s there
such an elaborate piece of unstudied,
spontaneous, perfectly natural humor.
There is not the slightest straining for
comic effect as In so many OF the later
humorists; there are no Jokes dragged
in by the ears; no painful efforts to keep
up the fun at any cost. The author is
funny because It is perfectly natural for
