Here, says the Washington Post
are some pithy sayings by Champ
Clark, of Missouri:
I will never vote a cent to pay any
mans expenses to go to England, or
elsewhere, to help crown a King. We
went out of the coronation business on
the 4th of July, 1776.
The man "who would rather work
than eat" is a figment of the magma
ton. He is a myth as much as Jupi-
ter or Minerva, Hercules or Venus,
Vulcan or ADhrodite, Cyclops or the
sirens with their dulcet songs.
If John d. Rockefeller, who is gen.
orally taken and accepted as the rich
est man in America. were to conduct
his business as reclSlessly as the gov
ernment's business Is run, he would
go into bankruptcy in less than ten
years.
The Louisiana purchase was the
greatest transaction in real estate
bruited upon this earth since the devil
took the Saviour to the top of a high
mountain and offered him the domin-
ion of the world.

Mnrts. His Excuse.

Warts are not a serious malady, so
one can afford to stand and see the vul-
gar treatment thereof, says Good
Words. In Wexford, lying as it
does we'll within the civilized
pale, they are cured by pointing knot
of straw at each disngured digit, saying
a prayer, and eventually burying the
straw in its native manure heap. AS 1T
rots, so disappear the warts. If this
fails, a white snail is rubbed over the
the hands and then stuck on a thorn.
Both snail and Wart are believed to
wither together. A simple cure is to
come across water accidentally in a
hollow stone and to wash the afflicted
hands therein. The virtue of accident
is so great that it prevents any further
development of the hard growth. A
more intricate remedy is devised in a
county even closer to the metropolis
than the one washed by the tide (Wex-
ford.) In Cavan, where l once acted as
local Demon the appearance of warts
in a family is simultaneous with the
disappearance OF bacon from any
neighboring cabin. In my office as JUS
tice of the peace such a case came be-
fore me.

CONSUMPTION CURED.

we do not undertake to say that DR..
George H. Barney of Brooklyn has not
cured case of consumption, but we
venture to say that the medical profess
sion will not accept as a fact that he
has until he has clearly demonstrated
his ability to cure other cases.
There were remarkable features in
the case which DR.. Barney is reported
to have cured. Prof. Koch stated at
the tuberculosis Congress held in Lon
don last summer that tuberculosis
could not be transmitted from COW
10 a human being. DR. Barney set
about showing that this statemnt was
not correct He innocuIated a healthy
COW with virus from human consump-
i've and then innoculated a trained
nurse from this COW. The nurse devel-
oped consumption. She had the disease
SO severity that she had hemorrhages
from her lungs. In fact, several physl-
clans who examined her said she had
tuberculosis in an advanced stage.
DR.. Barney then undertook to cure
the trained nurse, and he has the GER
tihcates of eminent New York physi-
clans that the nurse is entirely free
from the disease. He caused her to
breathe killing vapor And
he makes the assertion that he has
cured many consumptives by the same
treatment.
OF course he may have accomplish
ed all that he says he has, but his
statement that he cures tuberculosis
Will not be accepted until he makes il
SO certain that he does that there will
no longer be room for doubt. AS yet
accounts of his wonderful cure have
appeared only in newspapers which
treat of such matters from the news
standpoint. The medical journals
have not yet taken it up. When they
do, it is probable that they will insist
upon further experiments before an
nouncing to the world that the Brook
lyn doctor has mastered the most de-
structive of all diseases.

This is a story that was overheard,

who came to Washington from Kansas
City, Kan, to secure talent" for
Democratic banquet. They were or
dered to secure Admiral Schley at all
hazards. But Admiral Schley had his
hands full and declined. They invited
two or three other prominent naval
men and they declined-the order was
to secure some one to represent the
navy. The two gentlemen- were can

A Joke THAT Cost Five Dollars.

Lee Fairchild. who is coming to the
front as humorist, visited San Fran
cisco not long ago, and, like many lit
erary pilgrims to the West. determined
to pay a visit to Joaquin Miller, Poet
of the Sierras, who lives in a charm
ing villa in the Contra Costa foothills,
across the bay from the Golden Gate,
says the Philadelphia Post.
''What will you charge me to drive
to Joaquin Miller's?'' Fairchild asked
of an Oakland cabman.
Five dollars" was the response.
The humorist got In and started
away over the long, rugged road lead
ing to the poets side hill hermitage. 1t
was evening when he started; the night
had settled and the moon was up when
he arrived. He paid the driver and
was about to open the rustic gate to
the famous house when the cabman
said dryly:
Il suppose you know that Joaquin
is not in California at the present
time"
The humorist thought quickly, and
smothering his indignation, replied:
"Oh, yes, of course; l merely wanted
to see how his place looks by moon

is MAN "ToO LAzYsv

Mrs. Sophia Demuth of Alton, ILL.,,
makes the charge against man that he
is altogether too lazy. She holds, in
deed, that his laziness causes more
restitution and suffering than his
drink habits.
For eighteen years MRS. Demuth
has been a police matron in Alton.
For a number of years she has been
an officer of the humane society, and
for two years the probation officer of
the County Court in which she lives.
1t will be seen, therefore, that Mrs.
Demuth has had opportunities for in
vestigation; and having waited so
long to give publicity to her theory.
she is certainly deserving of the credit
Of honest conviction.
In the course Of her experience she
says, she has found that not all lazy
men drink, nor are all drinking men
lazy. Men who have schooled them
selves in Incidence, she says, and who
have gone to such a degree of laziness
that they lack in a large measure the
initiative for earning a stable liveli-
hood, are chiefly responsible for the
poverty of the country, and are In
directly the cause of the large ex-
penditures for charities and correc-
lions. In short, it is her belief that
laziness causes more restitution than
liquor.
We cannot fully agree with Mrs.
Demuth. We do not believe the aver
age man is lazy. No country peopled
the strides that this country has made
during the last hundred years. The
average man, as matter of fact, re-
allies the responsibilities that rest
upon him and is something of a hus-
tier.
At the same time we are willing to
concede that there are too many
drones in the hive. Every city, town
and hamlet has it's loafers and idlers.
But they are not typical citizens.
They are, however. capable of exert.
ing a pernicious influence. They are
pessimists usually, and as they whittle
the tops of boxes they growl about
the hare times, the corruption Of poll
tics and the general backward trend
of the times. They do nothing to i'm
prove the times or the manners, but
sometimes succeed in planting the
seeds of discomfort in the minds Of
workers with whom they come into
contact. If this class of lazy idlers
could be eliminated. it would be a good
thing for the country. We should
have buster communities, more pro-
ductive farms and greater prosperity.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd) says:
that Admiral Sampson planned Admi-
raj Schley's, deer hunt"
The Norfolk (Va) Landmark
(Dem) says: According to the New
York Sun, President Roosevelt did not
make public the text of Admiral
schleys appeal because the Admins
tration does not desire that there shall
he any more newspaper agitation of

dents reason. the ostrich is a wise
bird--thats all"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: Probably the costliest infant
the protective wet nurses in all their
experience ever undertook to rear at
the public expense is the beet sugar
infant. The duty of $40 ton on raw
sugar and $39 a ton on refined puts a
tremendous tax on the consumer. The
cost OF the nursing In the ten years
OF its existence is calculated by the
New York Tribune to have been $780,
