Not i'm Working Order.

Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps it isn't fair to lay the scene OF
this incident near Windsor. the butt Of
every vaudeville joker who hasn't the
originality to invent something new. but IL
actually occurred near the neighboring
Canadian metropolis nevertheless.
An automobilist had strayed out Of his
course and taken a cross road into a re-
mote farming district. After awhile his
Red Devil went whistling past a wheat
field. Near the fence sat an old farmer
contemplating an ancient and dilapidated
moving machine. He gazed in open
mouthed astonishment at the rapidly ap-
preaching vehicle. while the horses in an
adjoining pasture broke for the tall tim
Der.
The automobilist checked the speed OF
his machine and steered in the direction
Of the wonder-struck farmer. Apparent
ly this was the latter's first view Of the
modern speed annihilator.
''Welli' exclaimed the astonished farm
er. what on airth do we call that there
thing?'
Why" said the automobilist, struck
with the humor of the situation, this is
IN automobile"
"a what?' drawled the puzzled farmer.
AN automobile"
"Oh, that's one o. them neW-fangled
things I've bin readln' about, / 'spose."
Then the city chap became a little in
Q~uisitive on his own account.
Indicating the old mower, he said:
What do you call that machine over
there?'
''Thet's an auto-mow-hay. but tn derned
thing dont," quickly responded the rustic.

Pittsburg Chronicle.
From time to time the people of the
United States have been informed. Of
fcially and unoflicially, of what they have
done for Cub through their representa-
tives, but it Is quite proper that arecapitula-
ton Of these things should be made. as it
has been made, by the bureau of insular
affairs Of the War Department. From the
chaotic state OF ruin in which cuba lay at
the close of the war, order has been restor-
ed and a form of government established
capable Of developing into a permanent
system. Cities have been cleansed, severed
and placed. Contagious diseases have been
checked. Harbors have been improved.
Postofhces have been established. Schoo
houses have been provided almost equal
in number to the corresponding area in
this country. Life has been infused into
every branch Of the public service. The
record Is one to be prOund of. and IL should
be borne In mind, too, that the good work
has been accomplished by the War Depart
ment-by the officers and men Of the same
United States army which has been 80
severely and untustly criticized for its
methods in the Philippine islands. The
military power of the United States has
performed wonders for the regeneration of
Cuba. 1t only remains for the civil au-
thorfties to supplement that work by gen
erous treatment of Cube In order TO fully
round out Americas philanthropic efforts
for the islands good.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Dwellers in mosquito-infested parts are
strongly recommended 10 wear as much
yellow and to have as much yellow about
them as possible. This advice comes from
a French scientist. who has been lnvesti-
eating the psychology OF the little pest. one
OF his tests was as follows: He took a cer-
tain number OF boxes and lined their in
teriors with cloth OF different colors and
different shades OF the same color. Then he
liberated in the room a large number Of
mosquitoes. believing that the colOrs In the
boxes would attract them. At the emo OF
a certain time he closed his boxes and then
began 10 count. He found that the insects
had a decided liking for dark cOlors IN
preference 10 white. and that the most
were found IN the box which had been lined
with dark blue. Not a single one was found
in the box which contained yellow. This
test may not be conclusive. but IL seems 10
prove that there is something in the tradi-
ton that dark stockings attract more mo-
squitoes 10 the ankles han do light ones.

The Cigarette Case.

Chicago Post.
Indianapolis seems to be a capital city
in more senses than one. and the ladies are
doing what they can to promote the repu-
tation OF the town for feminine ~sprightli-
ness. Mr.. Ferguson, who We assume is a
model of conjugal propriety. begs to be re-
leased from the bonds which tie him to
Mrs. Ferguson because he declares that she
is so addicted TO cigarette smoking that
she forgets TO prepare his meals. We have
always known that tobacco is very intu-
rious 10 the memory. but We were MT
aware that II worked havoc TO this extent.
Mrs. Ferguson is clearly in the wrong. Gig
arettes are often relished between courses
at a dinner, and enjoyed I'm moderation
after meals they are said. by everybody x-
cept Miss Lucy CASTOR and little Robert
Reed. TO promote digestion. But cigarettes
before meals are very bad; in fact, nothing
could be worse. AND il is doubtless to this
feminine habit Of smoking on an empty
stomach that Mr.. Ferguson may attribute
the emptiness Of his own stomach We
think that the courts Of Indiana, which are
noted for their fairness and judicial wis
dom, will take cognizance Of Mr.. Fergu-
sons woes and will see that he has proper
relief.

Is N Frog Fish or Game.

New York Sun.
The Canadian department of marine and
fisheries is wrestling with the problem as
to whether a frog is fish or game. Owing
to the enormous increase in the export Of
frogs legs to the United States some fear
is felt that unless restrictions are placed
upon the killing of Canadian frogs there
Will soon be none left in the country. If a
frog is\ a fish the department Of Ottawa
has the power 10 institute a close season
for 1t. If. however, 1t should be decided
that the frog comes under the category OF
game the question of a close season must
be settled by the provincial authorities.
II the law officers of the different govern
ments interested fail to come TO an agree
ment on the subject the matter will prob
ably be submitted TO a committee Of ex-
perts. Everybody agree that something
must be done to prevent the total destruc-
ton of a valuable article OF both food and
commerce. If 1t should be decided that the
frog is neither fish nor game it may be nee
essary, in order TO secure a law for its pro-
lection, to obtain from the imperial Par
lament the passage Of an amendment to
the act OF British North America.

In Frankfort. Janauschek IN the course OF
her life OF -seventy-two years has sung In
various roles in grand opera and she has
played a wide range of characters upon the
dramatic stage. Tragedy has always been

spoken drama. although she has been seen
in comedy and character parts. showing
that her art was broad and comprehensive.
While, perhaps. Janauschek's Lady Mac

tense in Bleak House In the first two
OF these plays she gave graphic character
pictures, and in the last she not only pre-
sented two roles worlds apart, each OF them
in the most convincing manner, but in the

possibility of a German speaker simulat-
ing the French enunciation perfectly.

Several days ago a man from Detroit
called on a Windsor marriage license issuer
and procured a license. When asked if he
wished to be directed to a minister. he
replied in the negative.
My intended is not with me-" he ex-
planned TO the issuer. "and in fact I nave
not yet persuaded her TO marry me. 1
think the license will fetch her,
though" he remarked. she would hardly
throw me down after getting the docu-
ments."
Yesterday afternoon. the same man paid
another visit TO the issuer and asked that
the money paid for the license be refunded.
When asked why he did not wish to use the
license, he explained that the girl abso-
lutely refused to marry him.
when l flashed that license on her Sun
day" said he. she jumped on me with
both feet. After giving me a tongue flashing
for taking II for granted that she would
marry me without the usual amount Of
counting. she ordered me from the house
He was informed that the license money
could not be refunded. but that the license
is good any time during the next six
months.
The issuer suggested that he might make
another attempt to win the woman OF his
choice. and he said that he would make
another trial before he would lose the
money.

Organization of the Empire.

Toronto Telegram.
Logic is not always a safe guide. The
attempt to organize the British empire
will not succeed. The success of that at
tempt might be a prelude to the downfall
Of the empire.
British people are set in their own ways.
Each nation in the British family has it's
own individuality. They agree just as
many relatives agree. because they meet
seldom and because each is free TO go his
own road at his own gait.
If DR.. Parkin, c.. NJ. G., could assemble
an all-Brttish parliament at Westminster
the deliberations of that parliament might
undo the work of a thousand years. Cana
dians, Australians, English. Irish and
Scotch representatives would soon get
mixed up in the finest parliamentary row
on record. The British empire has sur
vived many rude shocks, but it would not
long survive the organized activity of its
own politicians i'm parliament ssemhIa
