 One of the heroes of the golf tradi- tions of St. Andrews was a certain caddie named Mathie Gorum, who in variably remarked after 8 poor shot by the person he was serving: Ut micht hae been waur," which was meant to be consolatory and encourag- ing, His master a clergyman, was wearied with this well meaning flat tery. Accordingly. to make sure that he would squash the remark for once, he told the caddie he had terrible dream the night before. 'Mathie, my man, I dreamt that I was in the place where the wicked are punished. l saw the wretched ones tortured; they were swimming in a lake of boiling pitch and could not get landed for red hot pitchforks thrust in their faces by de- mons" He halted a minute, with his tongue in his cheek; when, with perfect 1 coolness, the caddie answered: Aye, sir, that was bad dream, jist awful; 1 but it micht hae been waur.

IN UNNECESS4 SC1RF'.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who has done what she could, and that has been much. for the emancipation" of Wo man, thinks there is an unnecessary scare on. She records, in the New York Evening Post, her pitying protest against "a class of tolerably well-edu cated college graduates, among some of our leading men in church and state" who have become perfectly hysterical on the question of sex, so afraid are they that the feminine element in hu- ed'' through the increasing education and freedom of women. She recom- mends these alarmed guardians of the femininity of women to give some at- tention to the operation of natures laws, and to consider that the great fact of sex pervades every department of vegetable, mineral and animal life. Nothing has changed it from the be- ginning of time, and nothing will cidHSe It. lheie IS no lloFe Iedson to fear the annihilation of the masculine and feminine clements as two distinct forces than there is to fear the annihi- lation of the centripetal and centrifugal forces. Scientists suffer no anxieties in these directions They do not warn the florists to cease cultivating double roses, lest they should turn into cab bages, or the smaller fruits, lest they should turn into pumpkins"
 It is a good guess that Sister Stanton is about right. Girls will be girls and boys will be boys.

 Had picked up in the yard; She saw it was addressed to ma, Therefore she took 1t to her pa. Papa received 1t from the child,
 Who eagerly stood near; He gave sympathetic sigh,
 And wiped falling tear. This card" qu0th he ''portendS q jar; l fear me for the D. A. R." Speak not in riddles, dear papa,
 Demanded little Jane, While little John trod on the cat.
 Eyoking cries of pain; Now, tell us all about the jar, And what may be this D. A. R. 'rhe D. A, R., papa replied,
 I've often heard about; But what it is or what it does
 No one has yet found out. Yet all agree, both near and far, wondrous things the D. A. R.

 Upon the window pane; When mother leaves us, in whose car Will she go as I D. A. R.?' The father turned his head away,
 A grievous sigh sighed he: Three little words, ''God only knows

f ish court will blossom out In magnltl- | cence beyond anything perhaps i'll the
 history of the Kingdom, beyond any
 thing to be found on the continent, if | that can be achieved. The present
 king, like his nephew of Berlin, believes | in playing the king to the last inch of | gold braid. Simple as are many of his 1 ways, he is not going to be frocil-coat | monarch. While lacking the plctur-
 sequences of Wilhelm and the unique gift of taking simself seriously at all
 times, carrying off the impossible easily, | Edward is perhaps no less disposed to | the spectacular; his faithful subjects 1 seem to want it, and he is willing to | gratify them
 What the world may expect to see by and by is an insular court quite as gor- | seous and nearly as gay as that of the third Napoleon in the days when he was supposed to be the arbiter of Euro bean destinies. It will not as Is expect ed, be tainted with the corruption that
 marked the brilliant court of Versailles, wherein Bismarck always fancied he
 sensed the barrack room odor of Louis Napoleon's Odyssey period
 But it will be the center of the life of a proud and ancient nation, richer than
 any of it's rivals and headed by king whose desire to eXalt his office is guided
 by experience, tact and extensive savoir
 faire. An era of royal magnificence
 will be grateful to the aristocracy, sat
 isfactory to the tradespeople and prob- ably pleasing to the governing classes,
 who wish to see an enhancement of the visible tokens of British authority.
 A right royal court will be thing England has scarcely had since George l came over from Hanover, bringing, as Thackeray notes with characteristic cynicfsm among other figures of d somewhat numerous and not altogether seemly entourage, but one laundress. The early kings of this house were Ger mans, and Germans of the period when whatever was made in Germany" was a distant and unimpressiye copy of Versailles. Their magnifcence, such as 1t was was exotic and unconvincing, Englishmen, do not like to look back to it. The traditions of it have not passed through the furnace of satire without the smell of fire upon them,
 Public taste, as well as court morali- ty, has mounted since then; there was room for it. Under Edward VII, if all goes well, there is to be court that may revive the taste and splendor while banning the pronigacy, and of course, the headiness of the Stuarts.- London Letter to the New York Mail and Express.

PATRIOTIC BUSINESS.

Patriotism sometimes costs some railway of France are attacked because they have been buying locomotives from German builders instead of pa tronizng the home industry. They are denounced on all sides for lack of pa triOtism, all the more especially because they are in the receipt of handsome subsidy from the government What right have they, it is asked, to spend the money of French taxpayers in buy ing German goods? In their own de- fence the directors say that they were in exactly the same predicament as the English authorities who were compelled to go to the United States for their railroad engines. They were in imme- diate want of 9. number of new express locomotives, but could not obtain any from French builders until the end of 1902 or the beginning of 1903 On the other hand. a German firm offered to build from the plans of French en- gineers, and deliver the machines in 1901. So they ordered twenty As a matter of fact. they required fifty, and the remaining thirty, the need for which was not so urgent, were ordered from the Creusot works, which will de- liver them by and by They declare that it would have been greatly to their order with the German firm, but for patriotic reasons they refrained from doing so.

THE SUHLEY CASE.

There is some interesting talk to the effect that the President is looking into the Schley case very carefully, and that ! there may be another surprise when he | speaks It appears that the President has had a consultation with Rear Ad- mirals Evans and Taylor, who com manded the Iowa and the Indiana, Cap tain Clark of the Oregon and Lleuten- ant Commander Wainwright of the Gloucester. They went to "the White House at noon, and they were with the President in private conference, relative to the battle Of Santiago, until late in the afternoon. This has made a stir at the Navy department, where, it is said, officers had hitherto been confident that the President was going to review way by referring the Schley appeal and the Judge Advocates comment to the Department of Justice where the At torney-GeneraI would in all probability find that the Navy department, which under the law has jurisdiction Of such matters had not committed any legal error in it's conduct of the inquiry.
 The President will undoubtedly give this important matter most thorough consideration. Of course. whatever he says, he will hardly be able to put an end to the controversy but if he should happen to give Admiral Schley the credit that most people think is due him there would be more peace than there is.

I1t beIS 1OIlS.
 It is, however, in the promise rather than the performance of the first year of Edwards reign that the chief public interest centers. In the more lavish distribution of honors, in the reha abilita- tion of the royal palaces, and in the changes in court ceremonial notably in the abolition of afternoon drawing rooms in favor of evening courts, is to be seen steadfast, and to Englishmen, welcome purpose to make royalty more imposing and more splendid, while keeping it's environment carefully in touch with the taste of the time.

The Supreme court of Mississippi has made decision which will not please those who like dogs. The owner of a dog sued a railroad company and ob- tained judgment in a lower court for $100 damages to his dog by train. The Supreme court, however, reversed this judgment, and in doing so announced that not only was the dog an agile creature, able, if it had sense enough to live, to get out of the way of train, but also that 1t was of uncertain an- cestry, and that the vast majority of dogs had no pecuniary value whatever The court holds that dogs should not be allowed to block the arteries of com merce.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Statement Should be Published
70 the Editor Evening Journal.

Sir: VIII you please give this a
place in your paper: The tax
payers OF this town are ad-
vised by publication in Smyrna papers
that the tax rate this year is to be
raised fifteen cents. making it fifty
cents per hundred. This may be all
right, but the taxpayers would like to
know how the money is spent. The
Town Commissioners do not make an
annual statement showing receipts and
expenses. which should be published.
There is a growing opinion among
the taxpayers that favored few are
exempt from all taxes. If they spend
the money honestly, we should know
where it goes. If the railroad COM
pany contributes its quota, it is all
right, there will be no question. The
properties have all been reassessed,
and as there are no new streets to be
opened, what is the reason for in
creased taxes? a Taxpayer.
