THE ELDER SOTHERN.
"a Couple OF the Celebrated Come
dian'a Practical Jokes.

Many stories are told of Sothern's
friends at dinner, and possibly the
most amusing Is that of the belated
guest. When, late in the dinner, this
friend was announced, Mr. Sothern ex-
claimed, LET us all hide under the
table," and down they all went save
Mr.. Sothern himself, who remained
seated When the tardy guest entered,
Mr.. Sothern rose and received him
with exquisite courtesy, saying, when
your name was announced, my guests
for some unaccountable reason, all hid
under the table, After a few mo-
ments of discomfort one by one they
crept out and back to their seats.
| heard from both Mr.. Sothern and
Mrs. Vincent this account of an out
burst of fun at a dinner given by him
in his parlor at the Revere House: AS
the guests, ten in number, were gath
cred about the open fire before dinner
a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with
short breath, added the last touches to
his dinner table, already spread. Ten
placed with mathematical precision
one at each plate, and then he left the
room to bring the wine. Mr.. Sothern
saw his opportunity and, calling his
dog, cried: Tiger, the bread! Quick,
Tiger!' And the nimble little gray
hound bounded lightly upon the table
again and again as he heard his mas
ter's imperative Fetch the breadr
until each piece had been removed to
a dark corner near the fire.
Upon the walters return all was 81
lence. The expectant look upon Mr..
Sothern's face showed only that dinner
was awaiteS. Standing for a moment,
bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread
upon the table, hesitatingly turned to
the door, then retraced his steps to
the table, examined it carefully and
hurriedly left the room. He soon re-
appeared with fresh plate of bread,
and again at each plate a piece was
carefully placed, and he retired with
the empty plate. "Quick, Tiger! Fetch
it again! More bread! More breadv
Anu once more each piece was re-
moved before the grave waiter reap
peared, and all were again silent. One
look at the table and one at the
guests, and there remained no doubt.
Those poor, hungry actors had eaten
it! With a look of contempt he an
nounced dinner, and after all were
safely seated at the table he brought
a third plate of bread and with a fork
placed it, with a gesture of scorn,
piece by piece for each person and for
the host. The merry scene. soon dis
armed his hostility. and before the
evening was over the bread in the cor
ner was revealed.-Mrs. Lucy Derby

Keeping Friends.

There is nothing so very difficult in
making friends; the trouble is to keep
them. Pleasing manners and a taking
way will always win admirers, but o
lasting friendship must be built upon
a firmer foundation than a transitory
smile, an hour of high spirits or even
great physical beauty. OF course it is
q pleasure to feel that one Is favored
by some radically beautiful woman,
but unless there be genuine congenial-
ity between the two concerned the time
will come when passive loveliness will
cease to be attractive. To retain friend
ship one must be continually on the
watch and not let the familiarity that
comes from lengthy knowledge of
the others life breed the contempt that
SO often follows a close intimacy.
To retain either friendship or love
the illusions must not be dis1elled. Do
not because you feel sure of your
ground, let the commonplace enter in
and monopolize the everyday affairs.
Let the halo of sentiment hover over
even the prosaic affairs Of daily life,
for, once dispelled, they can never form
again, and in the one glimpse of the
material side of the intimacy may be
utterly destroyed a relation at one
time thought to be eternal.

a Sum~ FIT

An English tourist in the highlands
tells the following amusing story: He
was travelling one day last summer by
rail in the north of Scotland, and at
one Of the stations four farmers en-
tered the train. They were all big,
burly men and completely filed up the
seat on the one side Of the compart-
ment.
At the next station the carriage door
opened to admit tall. cadaverous in
dividual with about the girth of a
lamp post. He endeavored to wedge
himself in between two of the farmers,
and finding it a difficult operation he
said to one of them: Excuse me, sir;
you must move up bit. Each seat is
intended to accommodate five persons.
and according to act of parliament you
are only entitled to eighteen inches Of
space"
AYE, aye. my friend" replied the
farmer; that's a very guid for you
that's been built that way, but We
Gamma blame me If l hama been con-
struckit according to act Of parlia-

Scots In American History,

1t is a noteworthy fact in American
history that of the four members of
Washingtons cabinet Knox of Massa-
chusetts, the only New Englander, was
a Scotch Irishman; Alexander Hamil-
ton of New York was Scotch French
man, Thomas jefferson was of Welsh
descent, and the fourth, Edmund Ran
dolph, claimed among his ancestors the
Scotch earls of Murray. New York
also furnished the first chief justice of
the United States. John Jay, who was
q descendant of French Huguenots.
while the second chief justice, John
Rutledge, was Scotch-Irish, as were
also Wilson and Iredell, two of the
original associate justices; a third.
Blair, was of Scottish origin. John
Marshall, the great chief justice, was,
like jefferson, of Scotch and Welsh
descent.-Charles II. Hannas "Celt In

Knew What to Do With 1t.

A miserly landlord was going round
collecting his rents the other day At
one house he was greStly interested in
a little girl who watched, open mouthed
and open eyed, the business of paying
over the money and accepting the re-
ceipt.
He patted her on the head and start
ed out to search his pockets, saying, II
must see what l have got for you"
After searching his pockets for some
time he at last brought from a remote
corner peppermint. AS he handed it
to the girl he said, "And now what will
you do with that?'
The little girl looked at it, then at
him and replied, Wash it."-London

indispensable article of fuel, the rail-
roads would be wholly within their
rights if they were to stop running
trains and compel people to return to
the old stage-coach methods of travel
ing. The electric light companies
would be justified in shutting down
their plants and depriving communities
of all facilities for lighting their streets
and houses. What would become of
the people if they were to cencede that
the private owners of public utilities
are at liberty to do as they choose with
their property? The governors of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia have
sent troops to protect the property of
coal operators in those States. The
whole power of the States will be exer-
cised, if necessary, to guard the inter-
ests of the men who control the mines.
But the obligation should not be con-
fined exclusively to the States. There
ought to be reciprocity. Corporations
created by the State and enjoying valu-
able privileges by its permission ought
to be held to rigid responsibility to
their creator. They should not be ex-
empted, under any theory of private
ownership, from discharging their full
duty to the public, They insist that
the State shall take every step to pro-
mote their welfare; they ought not to
be allowed to do anything hurtful to
the general welfare.

Nothing will ever be done to cure
the trust evil until the Democratic
party is restored to power, and even
then it will require a struggle. In
the meantime President Roosevelt will
continue talking for the gallery
while the trust magnates will continue
to provide the campaign funds for his
party, being well assured that as long
as the Republicans are in power the
trusts have nothing to fear.

can and will end the coal strike. The
reason he gives is that Morgan is the

If it has come to the point that he can
dictate the ending of a strike in which
he has no visible direct interest, he is
the greatest man in any kind of a world

AN IMPORTANT CONVERT.

A dispatch from Springfield, Ohio,
published elsewhere, announces that
William N. Whitley, a great manufac-
turer of that city, had severed his con-
nection with the Republican party.
There is nothing you can buy any
more that is not carrying a price arbi-
trarily fixed by trust" said Mr..
Whitley in making his announcement
that in future he proposed to vote and
work with the Democratic party.
The action of Mr.. Whitley is far out
of the ordinary, because he has not
only been Republican, but one who
has given freely of his means and been
enthusiastic in his aid to Republican
candidates and principles. Mr.. White
ly was warm champion of William
Mckinley through both of his cam
paigns AS an evidence of the kind
of work he did for the candidates he
supported, it is remembered that
Whitley organized among the 5000
men who were working for him a band
of forty pieces which travelled around
the States and did yeoman service for
the party founded on the sentiment
against human slavery in the early
fifties. Mr. Whitley even chartered
trains and hauled his employees from
rally to rally in Ohio in 1896, to in
crease the enthusiasm for the repre-
sentatives of his party.
Just at this hour, however, Mr..
Whitley has his lorgnette turned on a
great light. He sees with startling
clearness that the leaders of the Re-
publican party are owned body and
soul by men who are at the head of
the trusts; that in spite of the pratt
ings Of Theodore Roosevelt, the Con-
gressional majority is ready to do the
bidding of the big combinations, and
that no relief is possible until the Dem
ocratic party gets control of the gov
ernment.
Every family is affected by the
trusts says Mr.. Whitley. ''In my
judgment the thing for the Democratic
party to do is to adopt one issue and
stick to that with vim. That issue is
the tariff. The people are growing
restless, they are growing tired of
trust domination, and great revulsion
of sentiment is at hand"
Mr.. Whitley is one of the great
manufacturers of the country. He is
close student of affairs, and knows
we'll how the common people feel about
trust extortions. He also knows that
under the trust system the opportunity
for individual enterprise is destroyed
The action of the great Ohio manufac-
turer is highly significant.

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES,

No man ever lived who hated cant
more than Thomas Carlyle. In his
day there were worthy gentlemen of
England, owners of vast landed estates,
who were opposed to legislation which
would give the masses in Great Britain
cheaper food. Like some deluded
Americans of the present generation.
they believed they had divine right
TO administer their property as they
pleased. They imagined that Provi-
dence had given them control of the
land and monopoly of food produc-
tion in the British, Isles for their ex-
elusive use and benefit, graciouslv ex-
empting them from any responsibility
or obligation to their fellow Britons
who were 1andless. Having a monop-
ly of the land they claimed the right
to make laws which would enhance
the price of the products of their land
at the expense of the hungry masses.
Carlyle saw through the cant of these
grand pretensions and denounced the
i divine rights of the land owners
with pitiless scorn. He showed that
II the land monopolists were privileged
to use their estates as they pleased, and
also make laws increasing the price of
bread to consumers, they had also the
logical right to starve the British
masses. What would become of you
NE represents the land owner as saying
to the hungry people clamoring for
cheaper food, 'if we decided some day
on growing no more wheat at all; if we
chose to grow only partridges hence
forth, and a modicum of wheat for our
own use? Can not we do what we like
With our own?"
1--WE can do what we like with our
own say the gentlemen who monop-
olize the coal fields of Pennsylvania.
1T is ours by the decree of an All Wise
Creator to use as we see fit" The
logic in their case leads to the same
conclusion which Carlyle ridiculed
when he exposed the pretensions Of the
English landed aristocracy in the Corn
Law agitation. If the monopolists of
the Pennsylvania coal fields are free to
do as they please with their property,
to stop the coal production for four or
five months, why shuldn't they be

gether for the public, mining only
enough coal for the use of the railroads
alleged to be part of the monopoly -?
Then the public could freeze as a pun
ishment for it's impudence in suggest
ing that the proprietors of the mines,
the owners of private property in
the Pennsylvania coal fields, were un-
der obligations to consult the comfort
of the masses. That, from the point
of view of the men who control the
mines, might be only fair retaliation
on meddlesome consumers who dare to
insinuate that there are some kinds of
private property" which can not es-
cape responsibility to the public
The American people have a pro-
found respect for the rights of proper
ty, but this respect exists not because
of the pretensions of men like those
who control the Pennsylvania coal
mines, but in spite of their cant. If
the coal monopo1ists had legal and
moral right to deprive the people of an
