airy contest of grace and dizziness
would not be so humiliating to the
"mere man" as to be crushed at "six-
handed euchre" or scinch" or drive
whist, which are supposed to acquire
some degree of mental superiority for
the victors. Besides, he would per-
haps find his women folks, as the re-
suit of this exercise, healthier, less
nervous and intense, and more cheer
full.
All hail, then to ping-pong, as the
emancipation from endless rounds of
card-playing. In our climate, with it's
long winters and much housing, it
would seem as if the game should find
a great field for popular expansion.

General Miles used to be a good sol
dier, but he has become a plain nuis-
ance and the country would be glad to
see him relieved or retired, On any pre-
text. He has been in hot water with
one or another ever since he went to
Washington and it cannot be the fault
of the other fellow every time. To be-
lieve that requires more credulity than
the story of the eleven obstinate jur-
ors. The country is SO sick to death
of the eternal squabtling between the
war department and the commanding
general that it has ceased to care a rap
about the merits of it. 1t wants one or
the other suppressed, and of course
everybody knows that the war depart
ment cannot be spared. No citizen
can understand the general staff bill,
but there is a vague notion that it will
bring peace. If it dooms the army to
the dry rot of routine and makes it a
patronage machine, we shall have a
rest from cat fighting anyway, and PER
haps providence and the navy will take
care of us in war. So, if General Miles
w~ants.to resign, let him resign and be
hanged.

The Royal Ratcatchers

Many curious officials still appertain
to the British royal household and
many have been dispensed with OF
late years. Among the latter class
must be placed the royal ratcatcher;
the Office has become obsolete, though
not for lack of rats. 1t was during
the reign Of the Georges that this
functionary had his heyday, a fact
which gave rise to the popular idea
that the very prevalent brown rat
came owe 10 England with the Han
overians. Like other esteemed royal
officials, the ratcather was distin-
guished by a particular dress; it was
of a scarlet hue deliberately embroid-
cred with yellow worsted and dis
playing figures of rats destroying
wheat sheaves. An English magazine
of 1741 contains an announcement
that "Mr. Cover has been selected for
the office of rat-killer to his majesty
with a salary Of f100 a year." and that
it was San honorable ofice."-Chica-
go Daily News.

PING-PONG.

People in more or less fashionable
circles throughout the civilized world
are said to have gone ping-pong crazy.
This game, as nearly as we can under
stand it, is a sort of parlor lawn-tennis.
1t requires alertness of motion. quick
ness of eye, skill of hand and for a
form of indoor light exercise appears
to be altogether admirable. Fashion
able crazes are not always SO rational
as this, and it seems as if ping-gong
should be encouraged.
Would it not be a welcome innova-
ton. at least to the male sex, If ping
pong should come to take the place
largely of cards at afternoon recep-
tions and evening parties? The re-
captions do not bother the male Great
ures much, so far as taking up his time
is concerned, but it is not infrequently
q case of worriment to him when he
sees that intense, drawn look upon the
face of his wife or daughter who has
been engaged in the fascinating con-
test for prizes. And when he attends
the evening party and sits down to the
card table, he becomes speedily con-
scious of a vast inferiority in skill to
the dear creatures who have been en-
gagged in constant practice in card
fights, while he has been attending to
his muItifarious business affairs. The
eagerness and the vim of the playing
of his feminine companions in fact
quite him and makes him
feel, for the time being, as if he indeed
belonged to the inferior half of crea-
ton.
Should ping-pong become the lead
ing indoor amusement it is quite pos
sible that the ladies, who have so much
time to play, might acquire the most
skill; but to be beaten in a light and

SENTIMENT.

Monticello News: The question for
the people to settle in the next state
convention is whether they want the
one-man power or not. They have
seen enough of Robert M. LaFollette
to know that he brooks no equals and
accepts no counsel, but wants to be ab-
solute dictator. First, over the con-
%vention, as to what kind Of a platform
it shall adopt; and second, over the
legislature, as to what it shall do or
leave undone. Any opposition to his
will to be punished by party ostracism.
Are the people ready to surrender all
their political rights to n man? If
they are, let them choose delegates in
structed to vote for the nomination of
r. M. LaFollette; if not, vote for men
who will nominate a republican for
governor.
Kaukauna Times: Perhaps Game
Warden Overlook in his flourish of
trumpets today, is trying to hide his
past record, is trying to have the peo-
pie believe that he always was and for
ever will be, h%allelujah, amen, a La
Toilette supporter. But was he? 1900
political history tells us that Overlook
opposed LaFollette up to within
about three weeks of the convention.
Door county, Mr.. Overbecks county,
and likewise MI. Minors county, gave
LaFollette nine straight votes in the
state convention. Did Overlook have
aught to do in sending those delegates?
He did not; he was among the minority
then, but is foaming at the mouth now
because Congressman Minor will not
don factional wa paint and join him
-Overbeck-in his political war dance.
Who should be more respected in such
a case?
