Perplexingly Funny.

One of those persons who are said to
hear with their elbows recently
went to country entertainment
which had been announced by the DO
etic effusiOn:
From half past eight to half past ten
You'll laugh and laugh and laugh again.
This announcement was exceedingly
pleasing to the visitor, who went home
and burst In on the family with the
words:
and what do you think they had on
the program? From eight-thirty to
ten-thirty you'll laugh and laugh'-no.

Bull-fghting. SPANS national sport,
was supposed to be too strongly en-
trenched in the spirit and traditions of
the people ever to become distasteful
to them. but 1t now appears destined to
be swept away before the march OF
civilization. AT recent mass meeting
in Barcelona, the scene of many a CORY
contest between matador and bull, res
olutions were passed condemning the
sport as cruel and brutalizing, and call
ing upon the government to suppress
1t throughout the peninsula The fact
attests the power Of the humanizing
ideas and influences which, slowly but
surely, are transforming the world into
a better and happier abiding place for
man and animal alike.

Chestnuts for Food.

In some parts of France, writes Con-
sui John c. Covert, in what are called
the schist lands, chestnuts from a very
important article Of daily food They
are boiled, pulverized and eaten like
our mashed potatoes. In every city
and nearly every village during the fall
and winter they are sold in doorways
and on street corners fresh from large
roasting pans. About noontime num-
bers OF poor people may be seen
around these roasting pans waiting to
invest their pennies. Nine or ten chest
nuts are given for cent. They are
about the size Of our horse chestnuts.

passed year or so ago is generally re-
garded as step In the right direction,
and In its provisions is much like the
juvenile court Chicago has established.
The new act simply substituted court
of summary Jurisdiction for the ordi-

adoption judges could be brought down
from London to try cases relating only
to few shillings, petty larcenies and

The reason foreigners laugh at Amer
lean pretensions to aristocracy is that
in spite Of all that can be said social
position in this country Is based entire
ly upon money and Is permanent or
not IS the money lasts. With all our
efforts to sharply define the lines that
separate one social condition from an
other the fact remains that most Of
our claims to aristocracy are based on
affectations, which are understood
thoroughly in this country as well as
abroad.

Testimony is cumulative to the effect
that horrible and unspeakable atroci-

soldiers of the allied armies. There

Of crime that are without a parallel in

fanaticism, Christian or Moslem, or by
the fiendish pirates of the Spanish

USE OF MONEY.
Republicans Refused to Quit
Corrupt WAYS.

Urbana, O., Oct 31.-(Spl.)-A few
days ago Chairman John II. James, OF
the Democratic Central Committee, ad-
dressed letter to Chairman Deaton,
of the Republican Committee, request
ing him as Chairman to use his best
endeavors with his committee to pre-
vent the use of money at the ensuing
election for corrupt purposes. Mr.. Dea-
ton promptly replied, agreeing that his
committee would make use OIL no mon
ey except for legitimate expenses.
With the idea of making the agree
ment effective and of some value Mr.
James submitted to Mr.. Deaton II
written agreement % be signed by
each Chairman, wherein 1t was agreed
That in no way and at no time to
use any money for the purpose of
brlbing, corrupting, intimidating or CO.
ercing any voters, and said committees
furthermore agree and pledge that they
Will not solicit nor collect any cam
pagn fund whatsoever, except such
'N hity NC iitNNtSuly w
defray legitimate campaign expenses"
The proposition was submitted to the
Republican Committee by its Chairman
and that committee refused to author
ize Mr.. Deaton to sign the same, and
1t was returned TO Mr.. James. The
Interpretation of the action of the Re-
publican Committee is accepted by the
Democratic Committee to mean that
money will be corruptly used at the
polls as of old, which has been carried
on flagrantly and openly in the past.
Mr.. James will take the matter up with
the Young Mems Republican Club,
which has promised to reform the cor
rupt practice, and endeavorfto secure
Its assistance.

No thrall at all.

We hasten; who shall bid us stay?

AS suits our mood.

And feel no longer hedged and pent;

And life, where'er pass along,
Seems set to song.
