SENSITIVE PEOPLE.
Person Conferred on Self VIII Gather
chan.


There lately died in Indiana a little
old lady who for sixty-fve years had
not stepped outside her door. Although
the village station was within a few
blocks OF her home, she had never seen
a railway train. Yet she was not
blind, nor cripple. nor a bedridden
sufferer. A few years before the young
Victoria assembled the throne or Eng
land this Indiana girl quarreled with
her lover, and declared their engage
ment at an end That evening. and at
intervals OF sixty years thereafter, the
man faithfully renewed his offer OF
marriage. She chose to abide by her
foolish resolution, to which she added
vow never 10 leave her home. HUI
man vanity takes many forms. Poor
Lady Coventry, who had been world
famous as one of the beautiful Gun
nings, spent her last days on a couch
with a pocket mirror in her hand.
When a caller limited how greatly she
had changed, she took to her bed, had
no light In her room, and finally took
things In through the bed curtains
without suffering them to be with
drawn. History says that ten thou
sand persons went to see her coffin.
Horace Walpole afflrms that Lord Fame
once kept his bed six weeks because
the Duke of Newcastle forgot in one of
his letters TO sign himself your very
humble servant" as usual, and only
put your humble servant" This all
seems very silly, but unfortunately
these morbidly sensitive people OF the
past have their counterparts today.
To be talked about and written about
Is still one of the most prevalent and
pernicious cravings of society, and
there seem to be few depths OF renun-
citation and reimbursement which go
untried. The heroine OF the dime
novel type who resolves never TO
smile again." who cuts loose from hui
man sympathies, and whose life Is cen
tered only on herself, deserves and
usually gets "Apollo's reward" To the
mortal who laboriously sifted the chaff
from the wheat the humorous and
healthy minded sun god gave the chaff
for his pains. -Youth's Companion.

The government is erecting at Con.
stable Hook, n. j.. a chimney which

up to a total height OF $50 feet The
stack is to be ten feet in diameter at
the top and will weigh 10000 tons The
cost of erection is in the neighborhood
of $50, 900.

Abandoned the Get-Rlch-ouick Plan.

For some years past the farmers of
Wexford and the neighboring counties
have gone in for potato raising to the
exclusion Of everything else, with the
result that many of them have now
abandoned their farms because of the
loss through heavy overproduction and
a cons quent dead market and inabil-
ity to sell their crops The conserva-
tive ones are now advocating the
abandonment of the get-rich-quielS
plan of potato raising, and the adop-
ton of a system whereby a few acres
of potatoes are planted ever year in
stead of pl ming an entire farm with
the tubers, 10 the exclusion of crops
that are sometimes more profitable
than potatoes

Roo.evelt., InaururatIon.

After allowing the vice-president-
elect to come into the capital Satur-
day evening without any official atten-
ton, the inaugural committee has en-
deavored to make up for the mistake.
Governor Roosevelt got off his train
into dense crowd Saturday and car.
rying his own grip and leading his
family he charged into a mob OF ar
rivals and their friends at the depot
and managed to reach hack stand.
There he selected a rickety affair,
drawn by an old white horse, and.
bundling his family in drove to his
sisters home. On his way to-day to
take the oath of Office as vice-president
he was escorted in an imposing man
ner. With him in a carriage rode
members of the committee on inaug-
ural arrangements Of the senate and
house of representatives. A troop OF
squadron A, the crack cavalry organ
ization of New York city, and the most
gorgeously uniformed soldiers who
will take part in the inaugural cere-
monies, formed the chief part of Col.
Roosevelt's escort

Everything on q Big Scale.


Everything was on big scale, char
acteristic of America, but everything
was artistic, too. There was no gaudi-
ness anywhere. The decorations are
simple and tasteful. The American COL
ors have not been abused and have
been used only in a dignifed and
proper way. No pillars are wrapped
with them, they are not used to cover
the nakedness of any rough lumber.
All the reviewing stands-and their
name is legion-had been nicely
painted and decorated. green stuff at
the cornices. electric lights at night,
tasteful bunting here and there. For
once 1t may be truthfully said that
there is nothing raw about the stage
setting for this quadrennial drama OF
American political life.

A Great Parade.

The final estimate of the size of the
inaugural parade as given out at mil
itary headquarters before the parade
moved was: Military, volunteer and
regular. 22.240; veteran organizations,
1900; civic societies. 1900. Out Of
this number total of about 1880 ar
rivals were officially reported to the
reception committee early in the day.
General Francis Greene, the grand
marshal, estimated that the parade
took four and a half hours to pass the
reviewing stand.

Yerinetoa School Entertainment.

The school entertainment given in
the Owl Hall on Friday night of last
week was well attended and very
interesting program of songs, dia-
logues and recitations was given,
the whole being concluded by the
farce entitled "Freezing a Mother
in-law." The school children who
took part in the affair showed that
they had been thoroughly drilled in
their several parts. Zach piece on
the program deserves special men
ton, but space prevents. The gar
land drill, produced by sixteen of the
elder boys and girls, was exception
ally fine, showing much practice
and excellent training. An event OF
the evening was the presentation to
Thomas Day for his excellent rem
dition of a song, an immense boquet.
AS flowers are scarce in this season
the boquet was made up of large
cabbage, several carrots, turnips, etc.
Strange to say the donation was not
appreciated. The farce was a conf
cal one and brought forth rounds of
applause. Lunch was served in the
hall after the entertainment, and
then dancing began and continued
until daylight the next morning.
What the receipts for the evening
were we have not learned. but take
it for granted that the school debt
will be materially lessened by them.

to wars between American labor
and American capital. In a re-
cent interview he said: 81 would

policy that has too often ruled in
the past. l would disarm labor of
its distrust of capital and of its de-
sire to place the union ahead OF

ABUSE or OFFICIAL POWER.

Third Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Madden, has cancelled the
second-class mail matter privilege
of the Abbealto Reason, published
at Girard, Kansas. The cancella-
ton was made upon the ground
that the publication had not a le-
gitimate subscription list, such as
would entitle it to that class of
mail service under the department
rules. The publisher claims list
of six thousand paid up subscribers
which he furnishes the depart
ment, but without securing the re-
ending of the order. The appeal
is in no sense an advertising sheet
nor one of free circulation and
whatever may be said of its line of
editorial thought, it certainly does
not justify the arbitrary proceed
ing that has been instituted against
it. While the second-class postal
privilege has unquestionably, in
many instances been abused, in
this case it appears that the abuse
lies with the department instead
of the publisher. 1t is to be hoped
that second-class matter will be
clearly defined by an act during
the present session of Congress.
AS the law now stands it consti-
tutes the head of the postal de-
partment the censor of the public

GENERAL MILES has been quite
severely reprimanded for express
ing an opinion on the verdict of
the Court of Inquiry in the Schley
case. 1t may be according to reg
ulations for army officers TO keep
their mouths shut and to know
nothing, but in some cases,-the
Schley case for instance-it is hard
work for an American citizen,
whether he be officer. or civilian.
to express his ideas. In jury trials
nowadays it is obligatory.for a per
son to declare himself almost dolt
or imbecile before he will be &C
cepted to try case, and it appears
that a man to hold rank in the
Army or Navy must sacrifice all
expressions of right or wrong as
he may see it from the standpoint
of man and an American citizen.
However. these sights put upon
such men as Schley, Dewey and
Miles, will cut very little figure
with the American people, who
know the men as brave, courage
Gus fighters and generals, who
have worked their way to the top
by legitimate means, and who have
received promotion as a just re-
ward for true merit--not owing
their standing to political bosses
and preferred friendship of those
in power to advance them.
