had been watching the flight of the
Ratchet and its sudden stop, we're
turned toward Scott. He stood at his
place, his left hand on the banquet
table, his body leaning forward and his
right hand in the air in the position
that it was when the Ratchet left it on
its smashing expedition. Scott stood
there in the position of an Indian tom
ahawk thrower, his face flushed little,
perhaps, but not a muscle moving.
The banqueters were spell-bound for
a moment Then they understood the
joke and they understood who the joke
was on. There was q whirlwind Of ap-
plause as Scott seated himself and
reached for an olive as though nothing
had happened.
Of course when Scott left the ban
quet room ne stepped up to the hotel
clerk and offered to pay for the mirror
but the president Of the publishing
house, which had given the banquet,
was ahead of him. The settlement for
the injured mirror had been made. A
strange part Of it was that not a silver
of glass had fallen from the frame.
The Ratchet was still buried in the
back Of the mirror where it had struck
and the thousand breaks in the glass
radiated in every direction from the
hatcbet. The president of the publish
ing house took the mirror, frame,
hatshet and all, and now has it in a
glass case in his Office on exhibition.

1t the American people are not en-
tirely destitute Of honor, says the June
Pilgrim, they will find something ex-
eeedingly entertaining in the gusto
with which the New York papers de
scribed the recent colossal gambling
game in progress in Wall street, while
on other pages they denounced with
lofty morality a city administration
which is suspected of permitting pool
rooms and gambling rooms to do bust
ness. A committee of public spirited
citizens, among whom is one of the
chief figures in the Wall street battle,
is pursuing the gamblers is, the
pool and faro gamblers a large
corps of detectives and lawyers. 1t is
reported that the work of this com
mittee is costing $4,000 a week, all
contributed by other public spirited
citizens Suspected houses are raided,
the gambling instruments destroyed,
and, above all, every clue which may
lead to evidence of collision between
the police authorities and the. gamb-
lers is being assiduOusly followed up.
This is a good work, apparently being
we'll done. The surface indications Of
political alliance with gambling and
other crimes in New York have always
been notorious, and if actual evidence
can be obtained. it viii do much to aid
in giving the city good government.
But the Wall street gamblers are not
making the moment propitious for the
anti-gambling reforms. In contrast
with those gambling transactions ex-
ceeding s2,OOO,OOO,OOO in Wall street,
the record of roulette wheels and pok-
er chips destroyed seems puerile.

The strip Of hail in this locality was
about three miles wide. Mr. Horton
was the only one here carrying hail in
surance that we know of. All the ben

fact that there are few grasshOppers
left and chinch bugs, that were quite
thick, we're all destroyed.

PROSPERITY AND PER CAPITA.

Some years ago, republicans used to
mock pOpulists about ''per capiter," as
populists held that plenty of money in
circulation caused good times and
the lack Of this caused hard times. In
Porto Rico there has been serious dis
tress and business stagnation, for
which condition the tariff is in large
measure responsible, but the following
editorial taken from the Topeka Cap
itaI reveals a condition that farther
explains the situation there and also
proves the POpulists' contention:
"Down in Porto Rico there is only
about 81 per capita of money in circu-
lation. Rev. W.G.Todd, of Topeka, has
a job there in the educational bureau.
A month or so ago, desiring to send
some money to Topeka, he got check
from the Porto Rico commissioner of
education, and then for the first time
realized the difference between a good
check and good money. It took two
weeks for Mr.. Todd to convert his
check into cash that could be exchang
ed for postal money order, the post
Office accepting only American money
for orders. When he was in Kansas
Todd was populist and with other
populists had much to say about the
great lack of per capiter" In Porto
Rico he is 'up against" the real thing.
Did the editor of the Capital ever
hear of the boomerang? Distress in
Porto Rico and 81 per capita in Porto
Rico.

Beveridge's spread-eagle OratOry
