sToCKToN's LIMERICK.
PhiladeInhia Times }

The late Frank r. Stockton never
permitted himself to forget in his days
Of success and fame the hard work
and routine drudgery that had been
his when he was engaged in daily
journalism in Philadelphia. On one. .oc-
casiOn he was with a group Of other
writer's who fell to discussing their
ambitions and to what extent they
had been realized. Each member of
the group in turn expressed himself as
more or less dissatisfied with his lot
until Stockton alone had not spoken.
With quaint admixture of modestv
and feryor, he declared .he was per
fectly satisfied-that the rewards of
literature he was then enjoying were
sufficient for man who had drudged
some Of the best years Of his life away
in newspaper making, which he said
he never had liked, and always re-
garded simply as a means to an end.
Then he recited the following liner
ick' as indicative Of his sentiments:
There was an old monk Of Siberia
Whose life grew drearier and dTearier,
Till he broke from his cell
With a hell of a yell,
And elOped with the Mother Superior"
A few days later, when out with
Mrs. Stockton. an acquaintance who
heard Of the limerick" stopped them
TO say:

your marriage was a runaway affair. -

THE MoRTENsEN VERDICT.

A JURY OF HIS PEERS, selected
Il after weeks of careful investiga-
ton. has said that Peter Mortensen is
guilty Of one of the most cruel and
unnecessary murders in ali the annals
of crime. A fearful responsibility was
placed in the hands of the twelve who
have decreed that fellow man shall
meet an ignominous death. Under the
law and the evidence they could have
done nothing else. No human eye saw
James r.. Hays lie taken, no witness
has testified that he was present when
the bleeding body was thrust into a
shallow grave. But the tongue of
circumstance has cried out loudly
against Peter Morteusen. A chain of
evidence, as strong as was eyer forged
IN d case of like character, has en-
veloped him in its folds and dragged
him toward the gallows. No opportu-
nifty to clear himself of the fearful ac-
cusatiou was denied to Mortensen.
Proof was piled upon proof 20 show
that his hands were red with the
blood Of the innocent, but the law
gave him every protection. His attor-
neys, Messrs. Stewart & Stewart, made
a gallant fight for the life ef their
client For this they are entitled to
praise They did their duty albeit
their case was hopeless from the start.
District Attorney EichRor deserves
the thanks of every law-abiding citi-
zen. Mr.. Eichnor is a sworn officer of
the law. 1t meant nothing to him as
an Individual To drive Peter Mortensen
to the gallows; it is more than prob
able that he never saw the man until
after he was arrested for the murder
Of Hay. In looking so clegely after
and in guarding so jealousy every
s$Jint i'm favor of the prosecution. there
fore. Mr.. Eichnor was guided solely by
his sense of duty. His reputation as
a man of honor and integrity, as a
fearless and determined prosecutor, has
not suffered through his conduct of the
case.
That Peter Mortensen is guilty,
not one in a thousand who haze read
the evidence will dispute. For the sake
of the father. whose gray head is bend
ing toward the grave, and for the peace
Of mind of the convicted mans other
relatives, il seems passing pitiful that
the verdict should have been as il was.

WINTER IN SUMMER.

PROFESSOR WILLIS /. MOORE,
L chief Of the United States weather
bureau. having grown tired of predict
ing cold waves that very often failed
to arrive on schedule time. has in
vented a machine that makes cold
weather while you wait If the device
is all that is claimed for it, it should
prove a blessing beyond price in every
home which must be occupied during
the hot summer months. Simply stated,
Professor Moore's invention is a cold
air stove, for that seems the best def
milton to apply to it.
The hot blast stove has long been in
use as a temperer of the wind to the
shorn lamb. but the cold blast arrange
ment is entirely new. BY using it the
householder can have his dwelling at
a temperature Of from 40 to % degrees.
no matter if the mercury in the Their
mometers outside is trying to climb
through the ton of the tube Tt is
said to be as inexpensive as keeping
an ordinary coal stove in operation.
That is to say, GOODNESS can be produced
on the hottest days for as little money
as warmth can be produced on the
coolest days.
In addition TO residence purposes, the
uses to which the cooler can be put in
hospitals and fer cold storage are prac-
tically limitless, and the invention
not only reduces the temperature Of
the air. but washes, cleanses and rem
ders it dry and healthful. Hot air filed
with dust is taken into the machine at
a temperature OF 100 degrees and sent
out almost instantly at a temperature
of 30 degrees, with its relative humid
ity lessened by more than half. The
machine is automatic, requires no mo-
tive power. and is self-adjusting.
In very hot weather it works faster
than when the weather is moderately
warm. and it ceases work altogether
when the temperature is low. The ap-
pliance IS charged with a substance
which is made according to formula
which Professor Moore declines to dis
close. This substance is placed in the
machine in the morning, just as a fur
mace or a base-burner is filed. and
for twenty-four hours il. requires no
other attention. During the entire day
the room or the dwelling in which it is
placed is kept thoroughly cool.
A published description of the inven-
tion says.
Professor Moore says that as soon
as the foreign patents are granted ne
viii make public the formula of the
composition with which the machine
is charged. He said. however, that the
composition contained no ammonia. nor
any Of the usual ingredients of ordi-
nary freezing mixtures. The reporter

WHY ENGLAND WOULD LOSE.

M HILE ALL CITIZENS of the
United States will join in hoping
that this country win never engage in
another war with England. it is com
forting to know that the American
nation could win the victory without
firing gun. 1t seems the height of
absurdity to say that England could
be whipped into submission with no
cannon shots by way of emphasis. but
it is literally true The most powerful
Of all agencies, starvation, would be
Americas ally, and England could not
Withstand the invasion of the gaunt
specter.
Writing in the North American Re
view for June. J. d. Whelpley shows
that the United States absolutely con
trolls the food supply of the United
Kingdom. Once stop the exports OF
grain and -four and meat from this
country and England would starve to
death. The figures presented by Mr..
Whelpley are not guesswork. They
were furnished by Frank II. Hitch
cock. chief of the bureau of foreign
markets i'm the department Of agricul-
ture. and they may be relied upon as
being absolutely accurate.
OF all the flour imported into the
United Kingdom, this country fur
nishes So per cent. 1t supplies IS per
cent of the oatmeal Il per cent of the
live cattle, 20 per cent of the fresh
beef, 90 per cent of the salt beef. 80
per cent of the bacon and hams, SO
per cent of the lard and 50 per cent
of the salt pork. Mr. Whelpley points
out that, in the event of war with the
United States England could not turn
to any other country for help. Starva-
ton would confront her as surely as
the American ports were closed.
Says Mr.. Whelpley: "All western
Europe is an importer Of food stuffs.
The surplus of Russia is now exhaust
ed before it reaches the United King
dom; and, should the European sup
ply be decreased by interference with
the commerce of the United States,
there would be a dangerous deficiency
III the supply OF nearly every AdI6c
country in the old world. The neces-
sity Of providing for the people OF
the European continent would not only
send prices up, but would prevent
England from securing even the small
amount she now gets from that direc-
ton"
After detailing the disruption of in
dustrial conditions which would occur
in England as a result Of war with
the United States, Mr.. Whelpley adds
Treaties and alliances can be set
aside, but the people Of all nations
must eat to live. BY virtue Of her
great agricultural possibilities, real
lied upon through the industry and
enterprise Of her people, the United
States is the food purveyOr for the
world. In this simple fact lies greater
strategic strength than in formidable
armies and navies."
In this fact, too, lies the greatest
hope for universal peace. May the con-
ditions never be changed.

RUBBER SCOTS AND SHOES.

OF course. il was an accident, but
Charles Goodyear had wit enough to
appreciate its significance. Today his
formula is still being used, the main
difference being that the compound is
no longer spilled on the surface Of the
stove. This fact and others just as
interesting are related in a bulletin
just issued from the census department
on Rubber Boots and Shoes" The
first attempt 10 use rubber as footwear
was made in the United States in 1881.

combined with a quantity Of lamp

The discovery seemed TO be Of some
commercial -alue, so a company was
formed for the manufacture Of water

sum Of money was invested in the IN
dertaking. and for a time success was
almost assured. Then it was discov-

covered leather became sticky. and in
cold weather It becan-e brittle and
cracked. Within a very brief time the
new industry collapsed.

LIE CUBAN MESSAGE.

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S spe-
1 ciaI message to congress on the
Cuban situation is notable in two se-
spects. Tt shows how far apart the
president and his party are, and it is
an admission that he hopes to secure
bv pressure what congress would not
grant. as IT should. for The sake. of
national honor and the fulfllment of
national pledges.
Simply stated, the issue is whether
the beet sugar interests, now allied
with the sugar trust, can show more
strength i'm legislation than the presi-
dent and those members Of congress
who believe the Cubans are entitled TO
reciprocity with the United States
IL has been shown by quotations
from Mr.. Oxnard. the head of the beet
sugar lobby. that the proposed conces-
sion TO the Cubans cannot possibly af-
feet beet sugar profits seriously. In
the. western states the beet interests
could not be affected at all because
they are protected by exorbitant
freight rates as well as by the tariff
1t cannot be said. therefore. that reel
procity with cuba is a menace to the
beet interests.
ON the other hand. Che president and
his friends believe that Cuba's pros
perity and her very life as a new re-
public depend upon liberal and imme-
diate concessions. They show that the
concessions we make will be followed
by concessions from cuba which will
add greatly to our export trade. bind
Cuba to us by the closest of CONNER
cial ties and start her on the road
to real happiness and independence.

dent Mckinley and the American peo-
pie
10 secure these pledges. Cuba con-
scented to the Platt amendment of
her national constitution. binding her
self TO submit her foreign relations 10
the approval of the United States and
otherwise surrendering fundamental
rights to American control Cuba has
done her part: it has remained for
"a Republican congress to ignore jus
tice, refuse to act and call down Upon
itself the criticism Of a chief executive
of its own political faith.
Apparently the president has alien
ated his own party. but in fact he
has made shrewd political move.
Whether the politicians like it or not.
the people have not forgotten their
sense Of justice. their feeling that ma
tional honor is as sacred as individual
honor. and as much to be regarded.
Congress has "a choice OF two courses
One SC ignore the message. discredit
the president and please the beet sugar
trust; the other horn of the dilemma
involves a grant of reciprocity to the
Cubans. the fulfllment Of a duty Ia
the new republic and the extension of
American trade in American terri
tory
In either event, the Republicans can
hope to gain neither glory nor honor
nor political strength. They have
shown that they viii not do the hon.
CRADLE thing without compulsiou, and
that neither the interests of the Gu
bans nor the moral obligations of a
great nation have any weight in con-
gress as compared with the influence

way back again.
Comparisons might be multiplied, but
these are enough to give an idea of
the vastness OF the industry. And it
all happened, or at least il happened so
promptly, because Charles Goodyear
had the brains TO take advantage Of an
accident.
