LOST JURISDICTION.
The Fence Broke Down Under JGd I.
ciaI Weight and Changed the
LAWS Mandate.

Some of the supreme court justices have
an inexhaustible fund OF humor, and they
frequently intersperse funny anecdotes
with their solemn deliberations, once they
are inside the sacred domain of their Pri-
vate session chambers, affirms the Washing
ton Star. Justice Brewer is one of the most
inimitable story tellers among them, and
he told one the other day that amused MS
colleagues immensely. Out in Indiana, he
said, there was a justice of the peace who
owned farm. One line of his fence formed
the boundary of the states of Indiana and
Ohio. Like others in rural districts who
hold that office he had an abnormal aPpre'
citation of the responsibility of the office.
and never lost an opportunity to exercise
his prerogative of demanding that the peace
be preserved. One day his son and his hired
man got to fighting on a stretch of the farm
near the boundary line fence, and the justice
of the peace rushed out and mounted the
fence Then, with head cooked high and
the air of one who has but to command, he
shouted: ''In the name of the state of In.
diana, 1 demand the preservation OF the
der his weight, and as he went down with
the fence topping over to the Ohio side he
eLauted to his son: "Give him the Mis-
Chief. Jim; I've lost my jurisdiction!"

RoosEvELT,s MILITARY STYLE
veloped by the Strenuous
President.

There is manifest disposition
among the republicans at the national
capital to rebel against the leader
political system, is eN-officio leader OF
the party to which he is indebted for
his election.
In the matter of Cuban reciprocity,
as to which he was especially en-
phatic and peremptory, his party in
the house accepted his leadership only
with the greatest reluctance, and
then with such reservations as to make
it little better than no leadership at
all, says the Chicago Chronicle.
In the senate, where the republicans
are in great hurry to get home be-
fore more exposures of the necessary
effects of the imperial policy make
their party prospects more dismal, it
appears to be the case that in selecting
the measures which must be put
through in order to save the credit of
the party the Cuban bill has been left
out.
This is the more significant, because
the strenuous leader in the white
house has proclaimed his purpose to
reconvene congress Immediately in ex-
ira session in case it shall be so con-
tumacious as to adjourn without sat-
isfactory Cuban bill.
Whatever the sentiment may be as
to the merits of Cuban reciprocity and
as to the duty of the United States in
the matter, and whatever may be the
influence of the beet sugar trust, it is
evident enough that there is prevail

ST have sometimes fancied that we might
erect here in the capital Of the country

might rival in height the beautiful and SIM

fame of the father of the country. I can
fancy each, generation bringing its in

tribution to the great structure of which
the column should be but the symbol.
''And what have we to say? Are we to

We changed the Monroe doctrine from a
doctrine of eternal Righteousness and JUS

to doctrine of brutal selfshness, looking
only to our own advantage. We crushed
the only republic in Asia. We made war
on the only Christian people in the east.
We converted a war of glory to war

ocean competition. Every new ocean
going ship launched on the Atlantic
seaboard would receive it's subsidy as
soon as built and be absorbed in the
combination at the expense of the
American people. Without whipping
the devil around the stump, the sub
sidy might as well be given to the rail-
road trunk lines at once.
The senate is by no means so quick
to respond to public sentiment as the
house, whose members must confront
their constituencies every two years.
But no less than seven republican SEN
ators opposed the subsidy bill, al
though it was recommended by sue
eessive republican national conven-
tons and pushed by Chairman Hanna
as a party measure entitled to the
loyal support of all republicans. In
vain Senator Frye and Senator Depew
pleaded with JUNCTION that republican
principles demanded the protection of
all American industries, whether by
duties or by subsidies, and that the
American shipping industry should not
be excluded from this protection. The
party whip could not lash the repub
fican senators of Wisconsin, Iowa and
New Hampshire into support of
scheme that is daily becoming by force
of events more repulsive to the peo-
pie.
In the house opposition to subsidy
has been growing among the repub-
Iicans since the beginning of the ses-
sion while the democrats are unani-
mously against the scheme. This
change among the republicans is due,
not so much to a wholesome senti-
ment against such legislative favor
itism as to a lively sense of the po-
litical consequences of forcing this
subsidy job upon reluctant country.
The prospect of the republican control
of the next house is precarious enough,
and it is feared, with just reason, that
subsidy is too heavy a burden to be
borne Hence the subsidy bill will
not be passed in this session of con-
gress. and in the march of events the
pleas in its favor will be still weaker
before the next session. But the ceun-
try will not readily forget that the
republican leaders have done their ut
most in behalf of a dangerous scheme
to throw millions of public money into
the lap of great steamship companies.

The apparent effort to quiet the

antecedent avowals of his counsel,

ter cheese as food" said physician
the other day in discussing the diet
question. 1T is true that freshly made
domestic cheese is hard to digest, but
nothing is SO easily digested as any
Of the imported cheeses and nothing
is more nutritious. Weight for weight
Roquefort, Brie, Camembert and Swiss
cheeses are more nutritious than the
best beef or steak. They are more
easily digested. and they give the same
sort Of nourishment that is derived
from fresh meat, so that in the time Of
a meat famine the we'll cured and well
aged imported cheeses are the best sub
stitute that can be found for beef, and.
as consumed, the best of cheese Is
cheaper. A twenty-five cent Brie
cheese, for instance, will feed more

dollars worth of beef. Two ounces Of
these cheeses have the same food value

among the nesting birds, circling In the
air just overhead, ready to pick up the
fish which the frightened boobies
might give up as peace offering. The
man-o-war hawks were generally ca

closely, ready to take from the hand Of
