A Fable.

Once upon time Brindle Bull Dog
who lived in Town and had Licked
everything in Sight saw a farmers
wagon with Strange Dog in it, tie up
on side street. He hied him to the
wagon and Forthwith declared him
self as the Terror from Terrorville,
and as the Farmer Dog did not Lay
Down, he dared him out to fight.
Now the Farmer Dog stood no Show
and Knew It, but he was Foxy, and
agreea to fight only in the Market
Place, to which the Brindle Bull Dog
agreed as he knew that he had Clnch.
So the Farmer Dog jumped from the
wagon, and Ran for the Center of
Town, and had no sooner arrived than
the Bull Dog had him Down, with his
Face buried in his long hair, which
was Filled with Hayseed for Bluff.
Before the Bull Dog had Got Through
the Long Hair and Hayseed, the Farm
er Dog cried Help three times in q
Loud Voice and a Policeman, three
Men and Saloonkeeper ran up and
took Swift kick at the Bull Dog
which broke three ribs and made him

Adjectiyes that Need
a Rest.

Of willowy forms and rosebud lips,
Dimples and dainty finger tips,
Hair like spun gold, a radiant shower,
And neck white as the hly's dover.
With melting eyes of bonny brown
That droop their lashes coyly down
Surely of these we've had galore;
No beauty-lover could sigh for more.
We.know them as we know our faces;
We know the heroine's many graces-
Her queenly air. her shapely mold,
Her manner freezing to behold,
So chill it makes us wonder why
To find the pole men ever try!
Or If more gracious is her bent,
Then sunshine lights the armament!
And we are given the old list
OF azure orbs and locks sun kissed!
OF feet that scarce the daisies crush
And cheeks that like the roses blush!
OF shell pink ears, of rounded arms.
And all the other timeworn charms
Romance can but provoke yawn
When it makes every goose swan!
Words don't conjnre the whole, but part;
Beauty In piecenaal is not art;
It is not art to schedule charms
And harp forever on rounded arms:
Again and again tho swanlike throat
Too slim to utter a heartfelt note!
If adjectives could redeem the race,
We would never have a hOmely face.

Let us consider him politically. He
is not partisan in politics, but votes
as rule for the man he thinks best
fitted for the Office. Mckinley owed
his election in '96 to the mechanics of
this country; not because of any per-
sonal magnetism he possessed, but
rather from the fact of his name being
associated with protection. Political
demagogues have never deceived the
mechanics Of this country; they are
too intelligent and support only that
party which contributes to their mate
rial welfare.
Labor saving machinery has driven
the old-style mechanic from the field in
some industries; it has diversified what
was formerly trade into number of
parts, each performed by different op-
orators. We might truthfully say that
the introduction of machinery has
created many new trades instead of
abolishing few old ones. Take the
trade of the shoemaker for an exam
pie. In former years the manufacture
of pair of shoes was the work of a
single operator; in modern shoe shop
can be found several separate trades
cutters, lasters, truers and skilled
machine operators. Consider the value
of trade to young man starting in
life. It is of more practical benefit
than college education and its utility
lasts during the life of its possessor. I
believe that industrial education should
be part of the school system of every
state.

~ ClENCE can speak of no un-
movable, since this would
X presuppose that she is able to
mark exactly the boundaries of
the movable. This, however, she cannot
do, since every discovery thrusts back
that boundary. Moreover the accept
ance of an unknowabIe involves the
admission that there is something
which we cannot know. Now in order
to be able seriously to assert the ex-
istence of this something, either we
must have acquired some knowledge
of it, however slight and indistinct,
therefore proving that it cannot be un-
movable since we actually know it,
and nothing then would justify us in
declaring beforehand our present

else we have no knowledge, even of the
minutest character of the philosophers

exist for us. The whole conception is
based upon nothing, and the word itself
is based on an idle creation of a dream
ing Imagination.
No one has the right to make COM
munications with respect to the future
as matters of fact. Science can an
nounce what she knows today; she can
also mark off exactly what she does
not know; but to say what she will or
will not at any time know is not her
Office. 1t is true that whoever asks
from science that she should give an
answer to all the questions of idle and
restless minds, with unshaken aud au-
dacious certainty, must be disappointed
by her, for she viii not, and cannot, full
fill such desires.
Theology and metaphysics have an
easier task. They devise some fable
and PROFOUND it with overwhelming
earnestness. If anyone does not be-
lieye in them, they threaten and insult
the intractable client, but they can
prove nothing to him, they cannot
force him to take their chimeras for

Paper Read Before the Chl,,td,Qua Circle.
The American Me-
chaniC.

~ UR Chautauqua studies lead
us into the dust and rubbish
of by-gone ages; our books
deal with the dead and gone
ancient poets, heroes, peo-
pie and places of historic renown. All
of this sort of thing is of some worth,
but its practicability is of small value,
for what men of the present day need
is better understanding of the prob
lens of their own time. My paper
deals with subject of which you are
all we'll acquainted: I write of the
present and of one of the most impor-
tant figures in the life of our own times.
1t is not my purpose to idealize the
American mechanic, but rather to give
plain statement of the facts as see
them.
Among the skilled workmen of the
world the American mechanic stands
first. The mechanics of Europe can
not equal him in skill, nor in the speed
with which he accomplishes task. In
Europe many skilled laborers are out
of employment because they cannot
compete with the American mechanic;
the products of his skill and genius
have invaded their markets and taken
their means of livelihood from them.
The protective tariff upon articles that
compete with American skilled labor
is no longer necessary, for in its shell
ter American industries, aided by the
genius of our mechanics, have grown
strong enough to stand alone. It is
Europe that stands in need of high
protective tariff, if she does not wish
to have her workmen driven from their
shops by progressive America.
President Roosevelt said in his lnes-
sage to congress that, "American wage
workers work with their head, as we'll
las with their hands," This is what
makes the American mechanic supreme
in the industrial world. He thinks and
is not a dull machine that plods
through task without any knowledge
of the why or wherefore of his trade;
he is ambitious and strives to rise to
the top in his chosen vocation.
Another important factor in the sue
cess of the American mechanic is the
excellent tools,he has to assist him in
his labor. The genius of invention has
created marvellous instruments for his
use. This is particularly emphasized
in the trade of the machinist; and
some of the machine tools used are
wonderful triumphs of skill and in
genuity.
Let us glance for moment at the
social conditions of the American me-
chanic. AS q rule he receives fair
wages and in many cases is the owner
of his own home; his earnings are
sufficient to support his family in COM
fort and provide for the education of
his children. If you visit his home
you will find that he has books and is
also subscriber to current magazine
literature. Most mechanics are MEM
bers Of labor unions and these organi-
] izations contribute much to the soeisl

Australian Oranges.

"What apple culture is in England
that of the orange is in New South

Sydney, being to Australia what Kent,
with its countless luxuriant orchards,
is to the United Kingdom. The

marks the Sydney correspondent of
the London Globe, sis not unlike that
of the Thames above Richmond, only
more romantic and beautiful, especially
during springtime, when the wonder
full prOfusiOn of wild flowers imparts
an additional charm to the picture.
Even the masses of rock, which in
many places rises boldly from the edges
of the stream, are decked with bright
colored clusters of Australian native
flowers cf the most lovely and varied
description. The trees also claim a
large share of admiration, not only
from the lover of the beautiful in ma
ture, but also from the utilitarian, for
they include the orange with its bright
green foliage and dainty white flowers
or rich golden fruit, both often being
seen on the tree at one and the same
time. The orange is not only pic
turesque addition to the. garden, but
also more than repays the cost and
trouble of cultivation. In the PARA

DESTROYED BY EARTHQUAKE

Homes.

| The three earthquakes on Friday
night reduced 10 ruins Quesaltenango,
the second city ofimportance in Guate-
mala and having 5000 inhabitants,
and completely destroyed the town of
Amatitian. Both of these towns were
capitals of the departments Of the same
name each bears. 1t is reported that
500 persons were killed in Qnesaltenan-
go, but the rumor lacks confirmation.
The exact loss of life cannot now be
ascertained. News of the destruction,
which extended 100 miles along the
western part of the republic. is coming
in slowly, because all the telegraph
wires are down.
1t is known that Amatitlan exists no
more as town, the seismic disturbance
having been so great. The inhabitants
that is, those of the 10000 residents
who escaped death in the cataclysm-
are camping in the open air for safety,
not daring toretnrn to the ruined con-
fines of the town. Some of the inhabi-
tants are building temporary mud
huts.
More news has been obtained of the
condition of affairs at Amatitlan than
at Quesaltenango, as the former is only
fifteen miles south of Guatemala City,
while the latter is more than 100 miles
to the northwest.

STATE CAN SUE MERGER.
Supreme Court Gives Washington Le.vs ts
File Suit.

The United States supreme court
Monday granted leave to the state OF
Washington TO file an original bill for
an injunction against the Great North.
ern Railway company, the Northern
Pacific Railway company and the
Northern Securities company In con-
nection with the petition OF that state
recently filed in the court.
The opinion In the case was delivered
by Chief Justice Fuller, who stated
that the court had always exercised the
utmost care in its proceedings in origi-
nal cases, and that the present decision
TO grant leave TO file was intended to
be entirely without prejudice to either
party at interest.
Reference was made to the case OF
the state of Louisiana VS.. the state Of
Texas concerning the quarantine regu-
lation OF the latter state In which leave
was given TO file, and the state of
Minnesota VS.. the Northern Securities
company, In which the petition to file
was denied.
Referring to the latter case, he said
the petition had been refused because
OF the insuperable objection that in
dispensable parties to the case could
not be brought into the court. This
objection did not, however, confront
the court in the present case, and the
court felt that because OF It's desire to
proceed with the utmost care and de- |
liberation in all cases where original
actions are brought in this court, the
precedent OF the Louisiana-Texas case
should be followed rather than that of
the Minnesota case in the present in
stance. Hence leave to file would be
granted and subpoenas would be issued
returnable on the first day of the next
term OF court in October.
