ALL CAN SEE A JOKE.
Even the Britonss Are Not AItoget e T Devoid of the Sense o8
 Humor.

To say that man has no sense of humor is to say the thing he resents most and the thing he finds hardest to disprove. This lack of humor charge strikes him at once from fei- 1owship in all that the world holds human and puts him akin to the un- laughing beasts of the feld-duil, plodding, material. It is a subtle weapon, often used when one has no case one's self and finds refuge in abuse of one's adversary. For long time man employed this weapon against woman with pretty effect and the American nation itself, quick to make a point, has stung all Eng land with the same keen prod The plain facts are that no man and, of course, no woman, is without sense of humor-the difference is only one of kind rather than of degree. To the feminine mind there is nothing in their form of hu1nor which makes fun Of anything connected with the individ ual himself. Artemus Wards readi- ness to sacrifice his wife's relatives on the altar of patriotism finds no re- sponse in the breast of an English man or of woman, but if Mir. Ward offers to sacrifice foreigners rela- tives, the personal application is re- moved and woman and Briton ap- plaud, says Harper's Weekly.
 Max Beerbohm has been studying the Kind of fun which the theater-go- ing public demands, and sums up his study in this way: 'sThe public can achieve no delicate process of dis cernment in humor. Unless a joke hits it in the eye, drawing forth a shower of illuminative sparks, all is darkness for the public. Unless , joke be labeled Comic. Comel Why don't you laugh?' the public is quite silent. Violence and obviousness arc thus the essential factors" Of course, all this applies to England only, for we of America still main tain that we can see a joke without being hit in the eye.

The hearing on the Philippine ques- ton at Washington has brought out that Admiral Dewey thinks all Aguin- aldo wanted was loot. and that he didn't care snap for government.
 Senator Carmack, one of the commit tee that is hearing the evidence, does not agree with Dewey and told the
 latter he did not know of one single dishonest act of Aguinaldo's. The hero of Manila bay may get himself in a hotter box than he was in on that May morning few years ago before he gets through with this Philippine question. Dewey seems to be getting q good deal of an imperialist himself.

WELLINGTON PRIME MINISTER
Reminiscence of the Clare Election
 Held in 1928.

"Reminiscences of the Clare Election
 Held in 1928.
 Michael Wallace. who has English history at his finger tips, sends the Democrat the following answer and explanation as to whether Wellington was ever prime minister of England of not.
 | The Catholics had passed a resolu- ton at one of their aggregate meet i ings to oppose the election of every candidate who should not pledge him. self against the Duke of Wellington's S administration. This measure lay for some time a mere dead letter in the registry of the association and was gradually passing into oblivion, when an incident occurred which gave it an I importance far greater than had orig inally belonged to it. It was deter mined that all the power of the people be put forth. In January, 1927, the Duke of York died and the Duke of Clarence became heir to the throne. Canning became prime minister, but Wellington, Peel, Eldon and others re- fused to act with him. Lord Code rich succeeded Canning, but his admin iSAetioh, luouSH lucluulllS tue Luxe of Wellington, was so weak that he resigned and the latter became prime minister in 1928, with Peel as home secretary.
 Moore, who knew him well, wrote thus to the duke: And still the last crown of thy toll is
 remaining,
 The grandest, the purest, even thou
 hast yet known;
 Though proud was thy task, other nations unchaining,
 Far prouder to heal the deep wounds
 of thy own.
 At the foot of that throne for whose
 veal thou hast stood
 Go plead for the bard that first
 cradled thy fame.

TWO minneapolis Suspects Are Under
Arrest MT Raar.Nilla


Arrest ut Beerville, .;s,
Two men who are ''wanted' in Minneapolis
nave been arrested in Milwaukee. Super1n-
tendent of Police Fred w. Ames this morning
received letter from the chief of police of
the Wisconsin city, informing him that Fred
Classy, mouthful crook, has been arrested
there and sentenced to the house of correc-
tlon for one year for the larceny of a watch
Last Jane Classy, who is only 10, was accused
Oh stealing watch from the electrician in
the Diamond mill. A warrant was immedi-
ately sworn out for him, but the lad fed be-
fore it could be served
THE same letter informs Superintendent
Ames that Charles Williams. colored. is de-
tanned in Milwaukee on suspicion Williams
Is member of the Darktown swell set, wears
gaudy garments sparkling gems, and affects
silk hat and nobby little cane .~ When ar
rested IN Milwaukee he had ON his person a
bag containing some money and several ra-
zors. 1t is believed from the description that
ne is the colored man who walked into tn
Nlcollet Hotel a fortnight ago and quietly
asked the clerk at the desk for the bag left
there few moments before by the proprietor
OF the barber shop. In rather absent-mind-
ed way the clerk handed over the bag which
contained the receipts Of the day and the
valuable razors of the shop, it being the GUS
tom for the barber to have these goods
locked in the hotel safe each night. The
colored man pocketed the bag and walked off
toward the barber shop. That was the last
seen OF him. If the Williams arrested in
Milwaukee proves to be this man. he will be
brought back to Minneapolis.

Rev. Louis Richter Brings Action

alleged defamatory editorial was printed,
in which 1t was said:
1t is difficult to understand how any minis
ter of the gospel could SO persuade himself
that he held the truth on the temperance
question, and the entire church was grieyous-
~ SHINING in its efforts to restrain and cheek
the terrible growth of intemperance, as to
enter the pay Of the enemy and paneply him
self from the enemys armory that he might
carry on the warfare within the ranks IN
which he had sworn to face the common foe
man may hold divergent views touching
even moral questions, and yet be respected
but a Judas, never. minister whose moral
obtuseness is SO great as to see no wrong in
entering the pay Of the liquor interests that
he might attack the churchs position on the
temperance question, and who would retain
his membership in a body with which he was
manifestly out Of harmony in order that his
attacks might have value to the enemy--is
a problem too hard to solve outside the pro-
bate court.

is "cypripedium reginte" and not "cypr1-

nominated it.
In accordance with request from the
society Senator Snyder yesterday intro
duced a resolution providing that the mis-
take be rectifed, and this will probably
be done later.
