A PARABLE WITH A
MORAL.

Once a farmer had 1000 BUSH
els of wheat, which he did not
sell in bulk as he usually did, but
sold it in one-bushel lots to 2000
different people.
A few of them paid in cash,
but by far the greater number
said it was not convenient to pay
Just then; they would call in a
few days and settle.
AS the months passed on the
mans bank account dwinled
away until there was only $3.15
left, and he did not have the coin
to buy seed wheat for the spring
sewing.
'tHow is this" he murmured?
my 2000 bushels Of wheat should
have kept me in affluence until
another crop came in, but | have
parted with my grain and hold
instead a vast number of small
accounts so widely scattered over
the country that it is impossible
to get around and collect them
fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted a notice saying all
who are indebted to me for one
bushel, come and settle quickly.
A few came, but the majority
said, Sob, that's not much, it is
such a small matter, will attend
to it some time" forgetting that
each amount though small,
amounted to large sum when
put together.
Things went on in this manner
for some time, and finally his
mental anguish was so great,
that he woke up and found he
had only been dreaming, and
that the 2O00 bushels of wheat
were still safe in the granary.
Moral-The next day this man
came to the editor of the paper,
and said: "Here is that dollar |
owe you. | stood in the position
of an editor last night for several
hours, and / know just how it is
to have several hundred small

Mr.. Roosevelt Scores.

Public sentiment is still a pow
erful factor in our public affairs,
especially when it supports an
aggressive and determined man
who yields the great power of
the Presidency.
1t seems reasonably certain
now that Congress will follow
the suggestion of the President
and make the concessions to Cuba
demanded by the American sense
of fair play. In other words, the
President has won in the first
clash with Congress, but it is the
Joint triumph of Mr.. Roosevelt
and public sentiment. This is
case in which either without the
other would have been power
less. This is a combination that
even the House oligarchy cannot
resist, and it will not require
many experiences Of this eharac-
ter to induce the House leaders
to take some precaution to avoid
a clash with the White House.
There is, however, nothing else
in sight about which there is a
prospect of serious differences.
Nothing that has happened
since the accession of President
Roosevelt has so Enthusiastically
demonstrated who is the real
leader In Washington.
AS long as the President is so
cordially supported by public
sentiment as he in this affair his
leadership will be in no danger.

NOT AT THE
Col. Arthur Lynch, M. r., Who Tough,
With Beers, Was Absent.

Paris, Jan. 18.--Colonel Arthur
Lynch, the recently elected member of
the house of for Galway
City, who is said to have fought on
the side of the Beers in South Africa,
in an interview with a representative
of the Associated Press today denied
that he had tried to go to England
for the opening of parliament.
Colonel Lynch said he had not left
Paris for the good reason that he ap-
preeiated the fact that he would not
be allowed to reach his goal-the
house of commons. He had some time
ago contemplated going to the open,
ing of parliament, but, said, jokingly,
81 did not think then that a nation
that considers itself one of sportsmen
would be so unsportsmanlike as to
seek to reach me in cold blood when it
might have had me in warm blood in
the Transvaal.'
Colonel Lynch added that his fu-
ture movements would be governed
by the %counsels of the Irish party,
in which he has every confidence and
by the wishes of his constituents.
He declared the stories published
in the English papers of his recent
visit to DR.. Leyds, at Brussels, with
whom he was alleged to have business
connections, were pure inventions. He
had only passed through Brussels a
year ago and he had no business re-
lation with DR.. Leyds of any kind,
though they are on friendly terms.

noise. The major portion of the boil

directions, and the shock of the ex-
