any of the mines. Sheriff Jacobs says
the troops will be called upon when there
Is an outbreak to suppress, but that they
will not do police duty and no soldiers

New York, Aug. S-Eforts were made

the most conspicuous and most influential

Reflections of a Bachelor.

No girl has a right to take a kiss from Il
man and not give it back to him.
The most successful discoveries are
those who let other people do the search :
ing.
There is nothing so foolish as trying to
tell the age of a woman by the age of her
children.
The more a man hurts girl hugging
her the harder she wishes he could hug
her without hurting her.
A great many people in this world would
be better than they are IL anybody could
make it as interesting to them as not be-
ing as bad as they might be.
Some men wouldn't be any worse than
they are, even If they were married.
Mighty few girls can ever talk about a
new engagement without wetting their
lips nervously.
A woman sort of expects burglars to
come around in the same regular way as
TIE milkman.
There is some hope for the idiot who
thinks he knows all about gardening, but
none at all for him when he thinks the
same way about women.
The average man thinks he is getting
into public life when he marches in a pc.
litical torchlight parade and is allowed
to contribute toward buying the uni

The Vanished Belgian.

What in the name of humanity has
become of that wonderfully interesting
little chap, possessed of more virtues to
the square inch than all the rest of the
animal kingdom combined, the Belgian
hare? Less than year ago he was
heralded far and wide as the benefactor
of the universe. Statesmen knelt at his
shrine: legislators conSiderd his
needs; associations We're organized
bearing his name; banQuetS and food
shows We're held in his honor; epicures
smacked their lips at the thought of
him: invalids ate of him and were
cured; sportsmen delighted to sing his
praises: acres of valuable land were
set apart for his benefit. and fortunes
awaited all who were shrewd enough
to start a Belgian hare farm.-New
York Sun.
To be sure, where has he gone to?
He hoped into obscurity more sui
denly than he did into notOriety. He
promised, with the aid of a mate, to
have 3,S90,322 descendants in five years,
to supply the world with flesh better
than the tenderest chicken, to drive
the fur of the seal and otter out of the
market, and to make a millionaire of
every man wise enough to embark at
once in the breeding business. Thou
sands of tons of hare meat were to be
canned for home consumption and a
million tons for export, while every APP
petite was to long for hare meat with
a longing that nothing else could APP
pease. But the little Belgian was a
gay deceiver. His tempest was of the
teapot variety. And so we weep above
his neglected little grave and wish that
he had staid in business long enough
to jar the beef trust.

Associate Justice Blodgett of the SUI
preme court at Providence, L., Thurs

parents are both dead, according to her

marriage license at City hall to mar

Our Ambassador To Germany.

The retirement of ambassador

at Berlin, will be a distinct loss to the
American Diplomatic service. He
and asks that his resignation taks
effect at that time. His public service
has been long and arduous and of much
value. and he is entitled to his release
No man living better illustrates the
gentleman and scholar in politics than
Mr.. White. After his education was
completed at Yale and abroad, he be-
came distinguished as a teacher Of his
tory at the University of Michigan, and
later as the first President of Coffiell
University. He was made minister to
Germany in 1879 where he quickly won
the respect and confidence of the
German court and people. His second
term at that important post, this time
with the greater dignity of ambassador,
has been even more successful. To
him in no small figure is due the pre-
sent, close friendship between Germany
and America which hasreplaced the dis
trust and dislike formerly felt toward
us by that empire. Berlin will view
his departure with keenest regret, and
his place will indeed be a difficult one
to fill. Diplomats of the Andrew D.
White kind are few.
