The Folly of It.

All anarchists are fools. American anarchists are double-distilled imbe- ciles. Czolgosz IS fragrant example of the idiocy of ignorance. What could he hope to accomplish by killing President Mckinley 'God reigns and the government at Washington still lives 'aid Garfield when Lincoln was assassinated. There was not a hitch or jar in the government when Garfield himself fell under an assas- sins bullet. This is a government of the people, for the people, by the peo- pie The people rule. A president is only chosen servant, subject to re- moval for cause, without deSpotic power, liable to dismissal after four years of service The killing of a president does not vacate the office, for another immediately succeeds him: it cannot affect the form of govern ment, because all authority and power is vested in the people. The assassin ation of d president by anarchists is not blow at authority, for he is not ruler but d servant of rulers, In our system it would be necessary to kill otf all the sutfragaus before the source of authority could he done away with. In the United States anarchism is silly irrational, ignorant and diabolical. It has no excuse, it can accomplish noth- ing, it IS powerless to overturn sys- tens. It can only assassinate men, but it must go.--Grit.

The men are wealthy mining operators and came out to see their re. cent purchase The fact that big strike of ore was made in the Gold Road last week aroused the curiosity of the shareholders and they were anx- ions to look it over if for but a few hours. It is said that ore is coming from the bottom of the Gold Road shaft that is onderfu'iy rich, far more so than any heretofore found in that property, The late purchasers of the mine believe that work should be push ed with all vigor on the shafts and they are being driven downward as fast as men can shove it.

 An illustration of the wonderful growth of Arizona mines is afforded by the formal transfer of the Octave mines.

Shonpinr In Athens.

In his volume on "Modern Athens"
George Horton says that shopping In
the Greek capital Is more elaborate,
time consuming and minute process
even than with us. "rhe oriental
method of doing business still prevails.
The dealer sets price, the buyer an
other, and often three or four hours Of
patient will contest pass before a COM
promise Is reached. The patron asks,
How much is this piece of silk? One
dollar yard Is the reply. Thirty
cents Is offered. The merchant Is
thrown into something resembling an
apoplectic fit. He swears by his IA
thers soul that 1t cost 05 cents.
'The lady takes seat with sigh
and after twenty minutes inquiries in

But to keep you and not lose your Gus
tom. you may have 1t for what paid,
O5 cents You poor thing' sighs the
lady snrcastically. There are dozen
or more women sitting about the store.
When finally the proprietor comes
down to price that one is willing to
pay, she rises, receives her bundle and
departs. declaring good naturedly that
she had been swindled and that she
will never come back again."

Old Time Rules For the Table by the

That our ancestors We're not so well
managed as we are is evident from the
following rules, which were laid down
by Tommasin Won Zirkler, German
poet in regard to the conduct OF n host
and his guest at dinner party. These
singular maxims were recently un-
earthed and have now been reprinted;
EVERY host should take care that
his guests have enough to eat and that
they are not served with dishes that
they do not want. In return the guests
should behave properly and should he
satisfied with whatever is placed be-
fore them,
"a guest should not eat all his bread
before the first dishes are served, nei-
ther should he eat with both hands nor
drink nor talk when his mouth is full.
1T Is not polite to turn toward ones
neighborl and to offer him a winecup
from which one is still drinking.
"One should not eat greedily and
hastily, as though the dinner had been
paid for, neither should one take any
food from his neighbours plate. In
word, each person should accept what
is offered and ask for nothing else.
