Pleasant For the Parents.

A gentleman invited u certain lectur-
er to his house to take tea.
Immediately ON being seated at the
table Il little daughter OF the house
said to the guest abruptly:
Where is your wife,
The lecturer, who had recently sep
arated from his better half, was sur
prised and annoyed at the question
and stammered forth the truth:
y don't know"
Don't know" repeated the child.
why don't you know
Finding that the child persisted in
her interrogations, despite the mild re-
proof of the parents, he decided to
make n clean breast of the matter and
have it over at once. so he said with
| CalmneSS:
We'll, we don't live together. We
think, as we can't agree. we'd better
not"
He stifled a groan as the child began
again, and darted an exasperated look
at her parents.
But the little torment would not be
uuieted until she exclaimed:
| Cant agreer Then why don't you
fight it out, the same as father and
mother do?"

Curiously enough the great mass OF
EngliShmen knew little or nothing OF
the sovereign as their ruler. They
had only the vaguest idea of the part
she took in the government of her
realm and her people; they knew prac-
ticalIy nothing of the controlling and
dominant force she exercised in inter
national and domestic politics. But
about this they cared nothing. 1t was
sufficient for them to know that she
was IL good woman. a woman whose
heart always went out 10 her people.
who shared with them their joys as
we'll as their SORROWS. who was keenly
interested in everything that could
make them better and happier. And
perhaps more than anything else was
the knowledge that she was woman
who had suffered much, whose heart
had been sorely wrenched. and whose
| spirit often tried, and yet through it all
| she had remained serene, hopeful, al
ways an example for right living, al
| ways an inspiration TO the weary and
| the afflicted. Perhaps that was the
real secret of the devotion which she
| inspired in Englishmen the world over.

Their Merits Reported.
One effect of the AngIo-Bo war IN
South Africa has been to exalt hos
only in market value. but also IN OF
fetal consideration. the American
mule. There has been constant de-
mapd for American mules for service
in the military operation OF the Eng
lish. The distinction of the American
mule has become International. ana IL
need be no surprise. therefore, that ID
recent official publications In Washing
ton the mule. no longer the sub1ece
of sighting official reference. should
have a position of dignity and proMfs
nence.
Thus recently. there has appeared a
bulletin concerning the number OF
mules in large cities from which 1t ap-
pears that there are nov GOO mules
in New York City, $50 in Chicago. 213
in Boston and thirty seven in Detroit
these being the cities in which mules
are least esteemed. In Philadelphia
| the number is 1900. in Baltimore 1000.
| in Kansas City 24OO. in St. Louis $500,
and in New Orleans 3iOo.
| The former distinction OF Memphis
| as the great mule city has been oblit-
Grated in the march of progress of the
| mule to belated distinction, and the to-
| tai of Memphis Is exceeded by Louis
Vile a city much further north the
| industrial interests of which are not
| such as to make many calls for the
purchase of mules.
| The distinction of the American
mule as recognized officially does not
stop short with mere enumeration, Tor
there appears also a statement show
ing 1.-The number of mules per 100000
inhabitants in certain cities and groups
of cities of the United States" Thus
it appears that there are 1193 mules
to each 100, 900 inhabitants in New Or
ileans. and ninety nine mules only to
each 100 900 Inhabitants in Washing
ton. in which mules are but poorly
represented.
| In New York City it may be of In
terest to the future historian to know
on official authority, there are seven
mules for each 100000 inhabitants tr

Law at the door of the most unrespon-
sive and naughty of domesticated ami
mails. A dog is shamefaced thing,
always ready to show penitence for his
sins. Hence the ease with which he
obtains forgiveness. Perhaps 1t is
owing to his contempt for contrition
that the cat has been accused OF trans
cressions, from breaking choice china
to raiding ice boxes. This self-con-
tanned acquaintance, but not friend

Good roads" is an important mat
ter TO be dealt with at the present
session of the Legislature. but like
most important matters it is in danger
of being complicated by too many con
hicting plans. That heretofore pur-
sued of inducing counties and local
authorities to do their share. with Co
operation from the State. is n good one
to adhere to. and it will be better to
be little slow in the good work than
to run up debts and mortgage the fu-
ture. A bill just introduced proposes
to issue State bonds not exceeding
$50 zoo, 900, subject to approval by Il
vote of the people, for the construction
and improvement OF highways. That
would start IL new and prodigal policy,
which it is desirable to avoid. The
