Having once embarked as country
editor, the victim is much like pris-
oner in the "pen" under an indetermi-
nate sentence. His getting out wholly
depends upon his good behavior dur
ing his term AS rule the fellow in
the pen get out the sooner.
When he puts forth some peculiar
plan for the betterment of mankind,
the country editor often wonders why
the entire world does not grasp the
idea with the avidity of a hungry man
tackling banquet, and when he
finally learns that he is emphatically
squelched does he repine and mourn ?
Not much. He let's go gracefully and
very softly and then tackles with keen
er zest the next great reform that en-
tiers his mind
He urges the school house, although
perhaps he never enjoyed the advan-
tage Of one; he pushes along the
churches, although probably he would
not know whether to stand up or sit
down Of he went into one; he yells
loudly for the construction of rail
road to bring his locality into touch
with the outside world, although he
we'll knows that he never will feel
able to buy a ticket over the line
| When the school house is completed
he applauds. When the church is
finished, he prints picture of it and
tells what a heap of good will result
and when the first train is run over
the new railway he lauds the capital
lists so highly were they to suddenly
watt themselves up the bejeweled
right of way without orders from the
chief dispatcher the Almighty would
not know them Then the editor goes
at the high powers and demands an
annual and receives brief mileage
book, with half fare permits for his
stricken and immediate family!
When an editor makes a mistake,
the entire county knows of it at once,
A preachers mistakes are often for
gotten a lawyers killed by the stenog-
rapher, bakers eaten, a coal dealers
burned and doctors buried-the edt
tors are in sight every time some one
comes in to look over the blamed old
file Colorado Reporter.

Washington, Oct. 12.-CommissiOner
of immigration Powderly visited the
white house and furnished the pres1-
dent with data and statistics on imml
grafton which Mr.. Roosevelt asked fo1
soon after coming to- Washington.
An amendment of the law, and es-
pecially with view to restrict or keep
out altogether undesirable emigrants
has long been desired by immigration
officials. 1t is believed that the laws
can be so amended as to keep anar
chists out of the country and there is
little doubt that such a law will be
passed at the coming session OF con
gress.
The appointment of Judge Jaml-
son to be chief justice of Arizona, to
succeed Judge Street, against whom
charges have been filed, seems to have
been decided on by the president. In
lieu with his policy Of giving federal
appointments to the best man for the
place it is quite certain that Judge
Street will not be reappointed by Mr..
Roosevelt.
Senator Beveridge, who has recently
returned from trip around the world
was a guest of President Roosevelt at
luncheon yesterday and had a long
talk with the president afterwards.
When in Russia Senator Beverage
gave close study to the economic con
ditions Of the great empire and espec-
tally with regard to the market it Of
fers for American products and was
much impressed with the great posi-
bilities Russia offers as purchaser OF
American manufactures.
From Edwin F. Adkins of Boston and
Miguel MandOZa, who represent large
sugar and tobacco interests in the
island, the pesident received a very
unfavorable report of economic condi-
lions in Cuba Attorney General James
S. Harlan, of Porto Rico, called on the
president and gave a very favorable
report Of conditions in Porto Rico.
Much of the presidents time was oc-
cupied by the politicians who called IN
regard to appointments in the various
states. John G. Long and Henry S.
Chubb, the republican leaders of Flor
ida, called upon the president and went
over with him political affairs In
Florida.
Senator Dietrich of Nebraska also
discussed political appointments with
the president. Senator DIETRICH has
recently returned from the Philippines
and talked over the recent Samar dis
aster. ''The massacre of the 9th in
fantry was the work Of the worst band
of insurgents ever collected on any
island in the Philippines" said Sena-
tor Dietrich.

BANK HOLIDAY.
A Time When All England Takes {
Rest.

A fig for business today Mr.. and
Mrs. John Bull and the babies are 60
ing to enjoy themselves without the
slightest reference to desks, dividends,
ledgers, income tax, beers and all the
rest of the foi-de-rol; for on a bank
except the noble art of being merry. II
while little Tommy stands on his head
on Hampstead Heath in the fullness of
his joy, Mr. Bull takes to Illuminating
and thinking things over in order to
arrive at some conclusions as to where
properly, that there is no earthly o.
stacle to his joining Tommy in his ac-
robatics and waving his own legs in
the atmosphere from pure light-heart-
edness.
England is rich and happy and well
governed, and a comfortable, cOzy
place in which to dwell So away with
dull care and hurrah for a vigorous
time on heath and beach. 1t is a fine
thing to give the cash books and the
day books to the spiders for one whole
work day, and let the mice play hide
and seek in the board room of the tire
some company that is always holding
stupid, solemn meetings and declaring
silly old dividends
1t is glorious to drag the managing
editor, or the banker, or the superin-
tendent, or the workman from his
place of business, scamper with him
over the hills, duck him in the wave
lets of the channel, or watch him gam
boil on the soft green sward. 1t IS
good alike for his head and for his
liver. He comes back to his desk less
of an old fogy, if he has been one, and
more Of a human being.
And if you can get him into an omni-
bus with half a dozen of the children
of other people overlooking on his lap
and treading on his feet so much the
better for him. A comprehensive
knowledge Of humanity is good for all
of us. The golf players will return
from the links better beings. Even the
periured fishermen, with their stories
of the immense creatures that just
managed to escape their hooks, will be
improved by their holiday, even though
they return with souls bruised and
dented by arication-London Ex-
press.

That Inquiry.

Capt. F. E. Chadwick, who was in
command of Admiral Simpsons flag
ship, the New York, and who also was
chief of the admiral's staff during the
war with Spain, made some damaging
admissions in his testimony.
Captain Cook of the Brooklyn tes-
titled in the Schley inquiry that he
ordered the warship's movements dur
ing the celebrated loop, and that at
no time did it endanger other ships.
He did it to lay the vessel parallel
with the enemy.
The judge advocate admitted that
the navy department had no evidence
to show that Amiral Schley had re-
ceived an important message from
Captain McCalla in the form in which
the latter had sent it through Lieut.
Com. w. H. H. Switzerland.

Occunv EpiscopaIians

Questions OF Marriage ana CtvoiCS
Occupy Episcopalians.
San Francisco, Oct 1.-THE ques-
tions of marriage and divorce were be-
fore both houses at the Episcopal
conference yesterday. The bishops
adopted a substitute for the proposed
canon providing for the discipline Of
persons marrying again after being
divorced. The principal change made
by the substitute is the provision that.
such may receive sacrament on the.
written consent of the bishop.
The deputies began the eagerly
awaited debate on the section which
virtually prohibits remarriage in
church of divorced persons. The dis
cussion will be continued Monday.
The only vote reached during the day
was on the proposed modification Of
DR.. Huntington's amendment provid-
ing for determining the cause of di-
vorce in the case of divorced per-
son applying to be married. This.
was defeated.

Constantinople, Oct. I'm COM
pliance with a request from Washing

troops for the abductors of Miss Stone
has been abandoned, it being feared

AS London Sees 1t.
London, Oct. 12.-After detailing
the history Of the abduction of Miss
Stone, the Spectator remarks:
president Roosevelt and the Wash
ington cabinet maintain justly that
the sultan is responsible, as it is his
misgovernmept which provokes and
protects brigandage, and they intend
to demand reparation from the porte.
1t will not be limited, we imagine, to
G25, 900. The porte will be required
to punish the authors OF the outrage
and as Turkey is sure to shuttle and
America is tired of being played with,
a naval demonstration is quite on the
icards. The sultan will of. course
yield to the first show of force. ';,e

Turned towards the sly.

Such squealing and squalling!
Such horrible noise!
It's worse than a roomful
Of bad girls and boys!
Such greed and such gluttony!
Pray, do, Mrs. Pig,
Teach your children some manners,
Before they grow big!

Facts About Tired Eyes.

DR.. Lotion, prominent English
physician. says there is a popular no.
ton that 1t is much more dangerous to
tire the eyes by use than 1t is to tire
any other organ of the body. 1t Is not
necessarily injurious to the legs or the
arms or the brain to become tired, for
proper rest may restore all these 10
their normal condition. The same Is
true In regard to the eyes.
Proofreaders. sewing women and me-
chanics, who use their eyes for long
time upon near objects, must of ne
cesslty weary the muscles that adjust
the eye to vision; but If the WEAKNESS
is compensated for by rest at proper
intervals there will be no harm done
TO the eyes, for they are so construct
ed that they can bear maximum ia
tigue as well as other parts of the
body. Education would cease, all me-
chanical work would soon have an end
If the eyes of our school children and of
certain kinds of workmen were never
tired. Eyes are never overworked,
even If they feel very tired when the
task is done, If their natural power
and freshness return after the proper
intervals of rest during the day and
sleep at night.

Wants Her Money Clean.

A woman who lives on South Six
teenth street has great horror of
filthy lucre She is thoroughly imbued
with the idea that all sorts of germs
and microbes Turk in dirty money, and
when she gets soiled bank notes she
washes and irons them, after which
process the greenbacks come out bright
and beautiful. She also washes all
silver and copper coins that fall into
her hands, after which she lays them
on the carpet to restore the lustre. One
afternoon recently, while so engaged
in her kitchen, with the door wide
open, a neighbours dog ran in, and,
picking up a half dollar in its mouth
ran out again. All efforts to locate the
animal failed until evening, when its
master returned home. Then the dog
suddenly appeared, and, rushing up
to its master, laid the half dollar at
his feet. 1t had carried the coin in Its
mouth for nearly four hours.-Phila-

WRITING A TRADE.
Reflections for the Benent of wouid-Be
Authors

Reflections for the Benent of would-Be
Authors.
All the men and women that have
risen to distinction in the field OF let
ters have served apprenticeship in the
technics of the art before they reached
the ear of the public. The poets alone
seem to have gift of speech at the
outset and even they learn much in
the course of years and practice. But
the young aspirant should not model
his line OF procedure on that followed
by the acknowledged genluses. Only
genius can hope to initiate genius. For
ordinary talent there is no royal road
to literary mastership. The art of
writing must be studied diligently,
painfully, humbly. The use and
abuse OF words and phrases must be
considered, not for a day, but for
many years. The formation of sent
ences must be the thought of ones
waking hours. The manufacture Of a
style is the labor of years. The old
saying that style is the man" Is per-
fectly true. but it has deluded many
youngster into the belief that oil
he had to do was to express himself
according to the impulse of the mo-
ment. just as he would in talking, and
that thus he would be writer. style
Is the man." 1t is not the boy. 1t
Is the reflex Of the mature mind, the
embodiment OF thought, which no
longer stumbles. but walks with sure
feet and makes for itself broad and
beautiful path of words. Let those
that are wondering why their illusions
do not burst into print at once stop
and consider whether they really have
anything particular to say, and then
whether they have any particular way
Of saying It There are more persons
with something to say (perhaps not
something immortal, but still worth
saying) than there are with a genu-
Inc master Of literary expression. The
latter does not come by nature; nor
does 1t come with experience. It
comes only by practice, and not an
easy practice at that 1t was that
most literary of all recent writer's,
Robert Louis Stevenson, who said that
the man not willing to spend a whole
afternoon in search of the right word
to express an idea is unfit for the Ousi-
ness Of literature.-New York Times.
