The 81 am holier than thou conven-
tion called for short ''holiness conven-
tIon, in session in Chicago is having
all kinds of success reforming the world
1t is going to do away with all sports,
football, baseball, golf, riding and driv-
ing. Pictures of yenuses and Other
works of high art that follow the lines
of nature are to be cut from their frames
and burned. Three-fourths of what is
regarded as the best literature by the
wicked world is to suffer the same fate
and the hungry mind is to be given
large doses Of Sunday school books. The
naughty theater and concert hall are 20
be purged and disinfected and the drama
retired in favor of experience meetings.

The examination of lieutenauts from
the volunteer service for pesit ems, in
the regular army Will result IN many
broken hearts and disabled il usions
Politics has forced the president to APP
point to places in the regular army,
many ambitious youths who have dis
tinSnished themselves drilling tn boys
Of the militia companies at hore. The
regular army has, however, the last say,
as these youths must pass the examine
ton prescribed by the West Pointers
The result can be guessed The West
Pointer has no love for the Encubured
voluntcer--he despises him as he does
plebe. VIII he allow him to pass an
examination for posi- ion in the regular
army? Not if he knows himself. When
the reports are gent in of these exams
there will be weeping and wa1Iiag and
gnaslnng of teeth.

Imports Are Much Smaller.
(By the Associated Press.

Washington, July 26.-The detailed fig
ures of the foreign commerce. of .ic
United States for the year ended June
80. 1901, were completed by the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics today They show
total imports of 1922 $3.50 total exports,
81, 4s7 1855, 557: exports of domestic pro-
ducts, 81, 460, 653 1903.
The imports by great classes in the ifs
cal year 1901, are as follows: Articles
of food, and animals, 222,227, 1913. Articles
in crude condition for use in domestic
industry, 269, 763, 4O4. Articles wholly or
partially manufactured for use in manu-
