EDITORIAL COMMENT

Lord Roseberry is an adept at rub
bling it in. Placidly ignoring his own
weaknesses his indecision, his disincli-
nation to take trouble he has volun-
teered to act the part Of critic-at-large
for his own country. The fact that ne
is the most literary of statesmen and
the most statesmanlike of literary men
helps him in popular interest. Inc
head of the house of Primrose is fond
of using America as an example. Some
time ago he showed his fellow-coun-
trymen that they ought to initiate us
in the matter of technical education.
Now he informs the people of England
that what they want is something of
our nervous energy. To be thankful
and contented is to get on the down
ward path in industry and trade. 1t
Is clear that Gladstone's successor
would approve of the maxim, "Grati-
tude is a lively sense of benefits yet to
come" The Liberals ought to give over

practical politics. He can render bet
ter services to the nation as a sort of
alarm clock.-New York Evening Sun.

changing the edifice could ever make
the slightest Roadway if it were fought
by the incumbent, and it may therefore
be taken for granted that the scheme
has been sedulously promoted for max
ing the historic structure look like a
gingerbread palace has received its
quietus. Mr.. Roosevelt shows good
sense, also, in adopting the popular
name for the building as its official
designation, rather than the more elab-
crate title of the Executive Mansion.
The people call the place where the
President lives the White House, and
he might as we'll do the same.-New

The new Amer of Afghanistan, Ha-

and unless Russia makes a direct Of

Habib Ullah will certainly stand fast
for England. But it is altogether too
early TO make an estimate or now long

some heads will have to come off. on

is definitely settled.-Hartford Courant,

The ladies of the First Universalist
Church who held the experience

fame young mans" suggetion in regard
to- the way most of the dollars were
obtained" and would suggest that he
come into the church, where total de-

A Worcester young man was sum-
moned to testify before one of the dis
trict courts of the county recently,
and in the struggle with one of the
cleverest of Worcester lawyers, was
totally unable at a critical moment to
remember the approximate date of hia
own birth. A blunder resulted that
made everybody smile, including the
Judge There was a dispute about the
age Of the witness, he claiming he
was 81, while the lawyer sharply urged
when were you born?" the attor-
ney sharply inquired.
The boys face turned several colors
at once, struggled for a few seconds
with the subtraction. ''In 100 he
blurted out.
''You look younger than you are"
said the lawyer tersely, and let the
tormented youth escape.
A man from New York where they
know 1t all walked into Putnam &
Thurston's last Saturday night and
after selecting four lemons, asked with
an air of utmost doubt, Have you
anything to put these into?'
Would a paper bag do?" inquired the
clerk.
A load seemed to be lifted from the
strangers heart when he found that
he would not have to carry the
lemons away uncovered in his hands.
There is a wart on one of those
lemons" said the clerk as the New
Yorker was leaving the store. 20,
guess 1t won't make much difference"
said he in a serious tone of voice as
he went on his timid way.
