cooked both barrels. The sons grap-
pley with their parent for possession
of the weapon. In the struggle both
barrels were accidentally discharged
and the loads entered the fathers
right breast at close range. The fight
continued for few minutes, until the
father fell dead.

London, Dec. 26.-The Daily News

that Mr.. Gladstone's prophecy that
the United States would replace Great

it to be utterly impossible that Great
Britain could ever enter an American
union except after a series of disas-
tiers rendering separate existence i'm
possible. The paper considers any
kind of an Anglo-American federation
equally unlikely, owing to the Briton's
Unsuitable love of caste, and says that

You Can Tell Them.

st. Paul Globe 1T is an accepted
fact that most men bear the marks
OF their professlon-not necessarily
in conversation, bubin their general
air-rhe less cultured the stronger
their professional marks. The less
distinguished person is in pro
iession, the more anxious he is to
reveal his connection with that pro.
fession. The man who carries about
with him the mouldy scent OF a
church should never be allowed to
enter the pulpit. The lawyer who is
ever prating of his cases and his ac-
tions seldom has a case and should
be disbarred on general principles.
But the doctors-what can be done
with them? They insist upon call
ing each other doctor" and even
sign their name with the profession
al addition, @, vanity, thy name is
pill -peddler. Yet all, from the Ger
man chemist with a worldwide rep
utation, to the politician and puller
of teeth-all bear the title-doctor.
Can the school teacher be detected
by mannerisms. My dear young
lady, a school ma'am can be identi-
fed at forty rods by the upaided
eye. She can be distinguished as far
as her shirt waist can be seen or her
voice heard. When she talks she at
once reveals her occupation. Oh,
no not particularly disagreeable,
especially ii she happens to be
pretty. She is great Improvement
on the vapid waxen images ofthe
parlor. But when she asks, with
self-satisfied air, ii she may be ex-
cused moment while she talks
.'shop.o all the charms that she ever
possessed vanish into thin air. She
at once becomes as silly as the dude
who reads paper at the dinner
table. The word shop is so Eng
lish, you know. What about the
male school ma am? That tribe is
past redemption. Like the dead in
jun," the interesting male school
ma am meyer appears until he's laid
out for burial. The male school
ma am is generally the shallowest
and at the same time the most
opinionated OF human beings. Ex-
ceptions? Oh, certainly; there are
many notable exceptions to the rule.

State papers report a great deal
of lightning and many electrical
storms this summer, but no great
damage has resulted thus far. This
brings to mind the lightning rod
and the notorious lightning rod
agents that were so plentiful q few
years ago. 1t has only been short
time since it was thought that
u honse was not safe unless it were
surmounted by one ormore lightning
rods. This idea, which was very gen
eral, made the people easy marks
for the oily tongued agents who
peddled these wonderful" rods.
Experience in this case, however, us
in all other cases, proved a splendid
teacher and today IA lightning rod is
seldom seen and the smooth agents
have transferred their attentions to
other and more lucrative fields.
