derlng where they are at, but | try
to be reliable, SO have to switch the
subject. My mind might be clear
er were it not for the fact that sew
eral of our good friends are buzzing
about cheap things, such as the
method of pricking bugs, whether
they are good to eat, etc, what the
organic matter contained in them
really is, the French view and price
Of inorganic matter, which the iosher
has got up to the fabulous price
of two thousand dollars a pound.
Still another has just confded that
heshas discovered a receipt and that
he doesn't have to work, anoth-
er has thirty years yet ahead
of him for hard toll, the third is tired
already and is only permitted to re-
main upon the payroll, the dog
Dooley is up for discussion, and the
industry OF the writer is intersper-
sed with the prospects of buggy
ride in the moonlight The gossip
takes whirl and here is someone up
now who is no good because he
doesn t know how to be sport. OF
course these guys don't know that I
am putting down what they say, if
they did they might talk more ra-
tional, but here is the way their CAB
is going: "Oh yes, remember the
night we went to Ashland and saw
the show, yes you were below and
there was bear dance, and some
had to pay fifteen cents and others
twenty-five, and that is what made
the trouble This starts quite an
argument as to whether there was
subsequently a rebate, and who
was looking for the rebate" Then
off goes the conversation to the sub
lect of a conference on Fourth street
and another wants to know whether
the mail is IN. The descision is in
the affirmative, and there goes the
subject that | thought would furnish
me the balance needed to fill up. But
here comes a little fellow who wants
to go to the show, and thinks maybe
he can work the editor for ticket
Well, the thermometer has reached
an insurffrable stage of heat and the
rays of the hot sun are beating down
upon this poor soul whose only OBJ
ject now apparent is to fill space.
We sat down without any topic. But
the end is in sight, the weary labors
of the editor are nearly over, the
space is nearly filed, the compost
tors are still pounding away, and
the foreman has just ripped out
violent roar about something,
things have Quoted down to regu-
lar routine. Well, well, fifteen years
have we pounded and scrubbed to
satisfy the hungry greed of the com
positor. for copy. They will not take
noand their demands are imperative.
When in the distant future we
shall have completed this grind, and
laid down the pen and received our
reward in the hereafter, we wonder
whether it will be as hot as it is here
in the broiling sun right now. We
hope our efforts will not be SO sorry
fully and painfully in vain, but in
side? the pearly gates we expect to
walk with the poet Carleton's pro-
cession, md he says t. at the edit
or, printer and devil will travel not
far from the head" Guess this will
be enough to fill the yawning chasm
ia the forms, and if am not ready to
call quits guess that you are. Mercy
should be one of the qualities OF an
editor, so therefore Ill infict you
no farther. EDITOR.

Furnishing Copy.

The hour Olive o'clock has arrived
and it is Wednesday afternoon.
The editor of this Christian journal has
just been awakened from the false
hope that copy is all Ia by the un--
welcome announcement of the fore
man 'that we've got to have another
column right away to finish up the
paper" Well there is nothing very
strange about the announcement for
we have heard it many time these
last fifteen years on just such an oc-
casion. The worst OF it is though
that there is no time to think and
from the composing room comes the
rapid cick-click of the compositors,
while the man behind the guns is
getting things in shape. But here
comes relief, sure enough--one of
our friends has just entered the
sanctum- sanctorium, and he is al
ways good for some news Oh,
yes he can help US out this time, too,
he knows of a church affair that will
take up two inch space-that helps
little, but it still leaves eighteen
valua5iie inches to fill-eighteen in
ches THAI perhaps ought to be oc-
cupied by the ads of som~s enter
prising grocer,-bu then the gro
GERS don't advertise. Well, if the
grocer don't advertise then some
one else should, but that some one
else who should don't so there you
are. Did | say fifteen years, yes it
is longer than that, but we will
bunch it at fifteen. This little re-
Election as it is banged off on the
typewriter makes Us retrospective.
but we will have to .'cut that out"
and fill tie space. So the Smith
Premier has to be kept moving, tut
as every word is set up, we are
v ordering what the next line will
be about. There is nothing more to
be said about the circus-that great
topic of two days earnest discussion
has been exhausted, and only
tae devil himself knows Or cares
where the Ringing Brothers are,
the corn crop might afford
subject and but for spectators
who have got in ahead of US al
ready we might be able to write
something reliable The Bulls and
the Bears have been playing hob
with the crop situation, and the
poor old farmer busy in the field has
to look twice at the stalks to find
out whether they are growing. Mr.
Dooley has expressed himself upon
all the important topics Of the day
and now, me friend Hinnissy I'll be
blamed if can give We any impor-
tant news of the Irish. Judge War
den has been administering Justice
this afternoon, and the whole re-
naming space might be filled
upon his doings (you see the figure
eighteen is shrinking and we see
relief in sight. But the Judge has
corrected the wrongs of society and
the ''social world" and the topic is
not for discussion in print, so on
that we will have to quit. There is
still another chance, and that is to
talk of the strike, but I notice that
they are holding secret conferences
and confabs, and how the deuce am
I to know the present status Of the
great events. Those fellows en-
ployed on the great dailies are good
guessers, and keep the people won

ABOUT SEVEN AND FORTY.
These Are Numbers That Occur Free
Quently in Biblical Records
and History.

Seven is a holy number. Forty, like
thirteen, is superstitious one, says
the New York Press. Did you ever try
to enumerate its virtues? Moses was
40 days on the mount; Elijah was 40
days fed by ravens; the rain of the
food fell 40 days; another 40 days ex-
pired before Noah opened the window
of the ark; 40 days was the period of
embalming; Nineveh had 40 days to re-
pent; our Lord tasted 40 days; He was
seen 40 days after His resurrection;
81. Swithin betokens 40 days Of rain or
dry weather; a quarantine extends to
40 days; the privilege Of sanctuary
was for 40 days; 40 days was the limit
for the payment of fine for man
slaughter; the widow was allowed to
remain In her husbands house for 40
days after his death, etc.
Hamlet loved Ophelia harder than
10000 brothers. The best tale in the
Arabian Nights" is about "AI BAHIA
and the Forty Thieves We all take
a0winks for short nap. The 3ath artt
cles Of the Anglican church are 40
stripes, save ono The Jews were
forbidden by the Mosaic law to inficS
more THAI 40 stripes on an offender,
and for fear Of breaking the law they
stoppad short OF the number.

LESSONS OF TRANSvAAL WAR,
A Russian Onicial Shows That Military
Service, ~ Practiced To-Day.
Ia AbAurd.

London, June 25.-An interesting
paper, written by Jean de Bloch (the
Russian councillor OF state and mem
Der of the Russian ministry of
tinance), on the lessons Of the Trans
vaal war, was read at the United
Service institution yesterday. M. de
Bloch declared that the South African
war had proved that military service,
as practiced to-day, was absurd and
that the sacrifice made on the CONT
nent to support CONSUMPTION was un-
necessary. The war showed that the
theatrical spectacles called maneuvers
were in no way related to real war
fare. One of the most remarkable
features was the constant impossible
ity of determining the enemy's posi-
ton. This was not attributable to
British defective reconnaissance, but
to the new conditions of war. 1t was
not mistakes made by the British
nor the qualities of the Beers, who
had shown an entire lack of rational
strategy and tactics, which produced
the results seen, but smokeless pow
der and long-range, quick-fring
rifles, which involved dispersion and
invisibility to degree unheard OF
formerly and to the possibility of
providing riAemen with larger num-
Der of cartridges. The action Of the
artillery in South Africa had been
generally absolutely contemplate
against an entrenched enemy.
