: OUR UNCLE, THE GENERNL !
He was Very Terrible In War, but

Whenever the widow, Magdalen
Monostary, sent her son, who, was
studying law in the residence, his
monthly stipend, she always accompa-

my opinion the best thing to do would
be to talk to the girl herself, only

mere woman With you it is different.
You. being man, could do it so much
better than 1. The honor of our family
is at stake, and my whole trust and
confidence are anchored on you. 2
Thus appealed to and the case being
so urgent, the general lost not a mo-
ment's time. Having consulted time
table and sent telegram to his sister
saying, II am coming he left on the
spot. Il shall hit this idyl right
through the center" muttered he,
twisting the ends Of his mustache into
such fierce ends as II he intended to
spear the idyl on their points. The
widow, Magdalen Monostary, could not
do otherwise than meet him at the de-
pot and, falling on his neck. sob her
soul out on his manly bosom. On the
way home she did nothing but lament:
.sOnly a tailor's daughter Only a tai 4

deprecatory gesture. All right, my

started on his errand to the loud clank-
ing of his sword, which struck the side
walk at every step, until he. reached
the hut in which the tailor patched
and steamed the pants of the poorer
citizens of the town. He was followed
at a respectful distance by small reg
iment of barefooted children, who star
ed in awestruck admiration at his bel
Iigerent mustache and gold embroider-
ed collar and who whispered among
themselves, He is going to the stailor's,
and he will murder Hste with that sa-
bern
The general finally noticed the crowd
Of little ragamuffins, and their sight
made him furious. He could not very
well disperse them, for a general could
not so far forget his dignity as to no
tice the children Of the rabble, but on
reaching his destination he gave the
door such tremendous pull that the
tailor, who for the last five minutes
had been trying to look dignified, near
ly fell off the table.
The general remained standing on
the threshold. He looked the tailor up
and down and then down and up and
finally thundered In his most military
accents, eAre you the boss?'' If the
tailor had dared to answer truthfuIly. 1
he would have answered, Not exact

with humility. I am, but / hope you
will kindly excuse it.
The general looked the frail little
man over once more and thought with
in himself What an acquisition to
ones family! Something truly to be

things in his lectures on China and
the Chinese that people want to know
about. For this reason, he is inter

lucid, he is witty and entertaining.
His lecture on Tuesday evening was
not well attended, but his audience
was so we'll pleased with the lecture
that on Wednesday the house was

Although Gen, Bailey does not
minimize the faults of the Cinnamon
nor exaggerate their virtues, yet the
effect of his lecture is to increase re-

LEO TO CATHOLICS.

The Pope has addressed to the bishops
an encylcal, dated November /, on the
Redeemer. The Pontiff says he rejoices
at the assemblage of Catholics from all
parts Of the world in Rome during Holy
Year, which, he adds, demonstrates that
the peoples are marching toward Christ.
He exhorts the world to seek the Re-
deemer, which, the Pontiff points out, is
the road to truth and life, adding:
LAS Christ's coming to the world re-
formed society, so the latter in turning
to Christ will become better and be saved
by following His doctrines and divine
law, by discountenanuia- revolt against
the constituted powers aud lvoiding con-
flicts'
If the peoples acted so, the encyclical
continues, they would all love one anoth-
or as brothers and obey peacefully their
superors. Neglect of God has led to so
many disorders that the peoples are op-
pressed with incessant fears and anguish
The Pontiff concludes with urging the
bishops to make known to the entire
world that the Redeemer and Saviour of
mankind alone can bring salvation and
peace.

SOME. THINGS TO FORGET.

Forgetting has its pleasures because it
permits the closing of the minds eyes t,
harsh experiences and depressing Incl
!cnts. The blues are a common com
plant If women are most affected with
them, they are most disastrous to men.
They come at different times and in differ
ent ways to everyone. They are the low
lands of life, full of miasma, through
which all travellers must pass, some often
er than others. The blues feed upon the
blues. Masma breeds miasma. The way
to get rid of the dumps is when one is in
the lowest spirits to call up before the
mental vision memory of the brightest
hour. On the contrary, defeat is empha
sized and despair made perennial by the
remembrance of other defeats and past
desparing moments. 1t is not a crimc to
fail, but it is a crime against ones better
nature to brood upon failures. The fellow
who forgets failures may succeed. He
certainly will not if he goes into every
new battle cowed and covering at the
recollection of past defeats. Dwellers in
a swamp grow to have the lifeleSs look of
the lcwlands Remembrance Of the blues
makes one blue No man is ever born Il
pcs>mi>t He becomes one by forgetting
the wrong things. ST. LopjS Giob~ Dam =

LATEST RETURNS.

The latest returns from Tuesdays cleo
ton indicate that Mckinley has carried
p States and Bryan IS.
The President has again been success
full in every State which he won in 1896
except Kentucky, which has returned to
the Democratic col ann. In addition, he
has carried Kansas South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming, which de-
clared for Bryan in 1896 His electoral
vote is 284 and Bryan's 1913; McKinley's
plurality, l21, as compared with s. in 1896
McKinley's estimated plurality of the
popular vote is 12l ,291. His plurality in
1896 was Col, S54
There have been 70 material changes in
the figures first announced on the probable
complexion of the Senate. Late returns
indicate that there will be 40 Republicans,
81 Democrats and four or five Independ-
ents There are still five seats in doubt.

DEFEATED-UNDTSMN YED.

The Democrats have lost a great battle,
and one that they should have Won On
the vital issues Of the contest a large ma
jority of the American people are I'M
doubtedly in accord with the Democratic
faith; but business conditions and I'M
founded apprehension with the power of
Capitalization i'll politics and money, made
the people give verdict against imagi-
nary evils and accept evils which must
soon cCnvulse the country in their over
throw.
The great battle against imperialism
and its logical outgrowth of business and
money Capitalization, has just begun.
There are now no side issues to obscure
the vital questions which directly con-
front the American people, and the Dem
ocrats have to-day a more hopeful atti-
tude than they have had at any time since
1892
In 1912 the Democrats lost Pennsyl-
vania on the Presidency by the largest
majority that had ever been given against
a candidate in the State, but in 1873 they
carried the State outside of Philadelphia
and in 1874 elected their entire State
ticket in a square fight. They have every
thing to inspire them in the battle that
will continue ceaselessly until imperia-
lism, Capitalization and protiigacy are
destroyed. The revolution will begin in
Philadelphia three months hence at Feb
ruary election, and if the Democrats fail
to elect the next Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, and to elect the next Congress, it
must be because they are utterly unequal
to their duty and their opportunity.
The Democrats are defeated, and it is
needless to inquire into the causes which
have brought them disaster. 1t is too late
to correct errors and criticism would be
unavailing, but the reason Of the defeat
of Tuesday last is certain to organize the
Democratic party of city, State and ma
ton in more formidable proportions and
in more earnest and patriotic effort than
it has been able to exhibit for many years.
1t will rise from this disaster and grapple
with the vital issues before the people
without embarrassment from issues which
have passed into history. Let every
Democrat be ready for the battle that is
Immediately before them, for there can
be no submission, and no excuse for want
Of patriotic action, until Imperialism.
Capitalization and pIofligacy shall have
been utterly Observation-Disclosures

OYSTER SEASON IN
FULL SWING.

During the last week or SO the activity
in the oyster industry in this city has in
creased greatly. Early in the season the
prospects for profitable season were
very gloomy; the vigilance of the culling
inspectors and the consequent expense
involved, besides the loss of those oysters
which would probably otherwise be re
tanned; the war tax of one cent per nshel
and a number of other expenses. besides
the prospect of a shortage in crops, all
added to the gloomliness of oystermen,
from longer to packer, and caused thew
to utter most dscourag g predictions fer
the present season. Indeed, early in the
season it was believed that crops would
be at least one third shorter, and special
efforts were made to secure the necessary
supplies by the large packers.
The Developments of the last fortnight
however, have DESTROYED all of these
fears. The oyster beds are yielding this
year as many and as beautiful specimens
of the bivalve as in any former years, the
bSih''ho 10 iiSiSpSihS, ahNa wv Ii'NS
generally is receiving boom.
This year about forty thousand persons
are making living in the oyster bust
ness.
There is no doubt that the Gull law is
being strictly enforced. Very few viola
tions of the law have been reported thus
far this season, and in each case just
punishment has been meted out to the
offender. The best proof of the enforce
ment of the Gull law is the fact that small
oysters-those less than two and a half
inches long from hinge to mouth-are
quite rare. Instead, one sees nothing but
large, healthy oysters Among the often
SEES for which dredgers and oystermen are
arrested, the violation of the Gull law is
most common. By act of the legislature
the possession of unculled oysters is
misdemeanor Not more than five per
cent. of a boats cargo must be of oysters
less than two and one half inches in
length which is determined by inspection
of every fiftieth bu shell.

The Baltimore Sun in an editoria

The Baltimore Sun in an editorial
says:
Those persons who deny the ability
of Mr.. Bryan should consider his ca
reer. He started life with no greater
opportunities than come to the average
American boy, and less, perhaps, than
has been enjoyed 10y his critics. AT
an early age he entered the House OF
Representatives, the greatest arena in
the world, and there attracted the a.
tcntion of the country by speech on
the tariff which IanMci with the best
ever delivered in that chamber. AL
though subjected to Il crushing defeat
in 1886, his denomination from the day
after that election was never in doubt.
He commanded it by the hold he had
upon the confidence and the place he
had in the affections of the people.
His has not been the career of an orti
nary man. A demagogue could not
have attained to the place he has
reached Nor could mere cloqucnce
have commanded it. There must he
more than this, and there is more.
"Mr. Bryan is beloved by the Amer
lean people because he is patriot and
q man of bameless life In these re
spects he is pattern for American
youth at 4 time when the love Of money
with many, takes the place OF love Of
country. If, having failed to reach
the Presidency, his State should send
Mr.. Bryan to serve his country in the
Senate, he would still he in position
to avert from the Republic some Of the
perls with which it is now threaten
