An Essay on Habit.

A story is told of an English school
master who offered prize to the boy
who should write the best composition
in five minutes on "IIow to Overcome
Habit"
At the expiration of five minutes the
compositions were read. The prize
went to a lad of nine years. Following
is his essay:
"Well, sir, habit is hard to overcome
If you take off the first letter, it does
not change 'abit.' If you take off an
other, you still have a bit left. If
you take off still another, the whole of
it remains. If you take off another, it
is not wholly used up. All Of which
goes to show that if you want to get
rid of a habit you must throw it off
altogether"
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-02-07

The game of word building Is played
in this way: One person names a let
ter, which the person at his left hand
is obliged to follow with another letter
which could be used in forming a
word. but which does not of itself
complete one. The third person, also
having word in mind, adds another
which helps to form word, but does
not complete one. The fourth person
does likewise, and the game proceeds
until some player finds that he cannot
add another without forming a word.
Whoever completes word loses one
of his three lives Three lives lost
Danish one from the circle of the liv-
ing and makes spirit of him.
To make the plan of the game a lit
tie clearer, let us say that the first
player, having in mind the word ar
chipelago, names the letter A. Player
No. =, thinking of albatroSs, adds l..
No. 3, thinking of allure, adds another
l.. Unfortunately for him, this addi-
ton forms the word "all," of which he
did not think, and he loses one of his
three lives.
If any player is suspected of nam
ing letter without having word in
mind he can be challenged. If he can
not give word which could be form
ed by using the letter he named, he
loses life" But if he can name one
the player who challenges him loses Il
life. One by one lives are lost and
players drop away, the last one win

Reciprocity is good deal nearer
free trade than was the revenue re-
form advocated by Cleveland and the
Democratic party in 1888 and 1892.
It's a wonder, therefore, that the ex-
treme protectionists don't denounce
the recfprocityites as traitors-as
they denounced the Democrats when
they advocated the same thing under
another name.-Titusville (Pa) Ad-
vance Guard.
What a bargain we got when we
bought from Spain her Philippine war
for beggarly $2O,O0O,000! Instead of
a cheap insurrection, our purchase
turns out to be $4000O0,000 affair
at least, and there is no limit to the
possible expansion Of the figures. The
greatest luck Spain has had in three
hundred years came to her in Manila
Bay and off Santiago. Philadelphia

ing become enormously rich by this

SHORT TALKS
Brief Comment Or Political and Other
Matters of Public Interest.
ANDREW J. PALM.

If Attorney General Knox was not
guilty of the offenses with which he
was charged by the Antitrust League
he should do something to disprove
them. He was trust attorney when
appointed, and there isn't much doubt
that he is trust attorney general. 1t
is safe to say that he will not put a
straw in the way of the gigantic COM
bnations which he is sworn to prose-
cute under the law. The supreme
court has explained what a trust is,
and the Sherman antitrust law lays
down the penalty. What is Mr.. Knox
waiting for?
What is the Monroe Doctrine, any
way, as taught by the Republican
press and so-called Republican states
men? In the light of recent experience
and the spread-eagle oratory of the
lingo members of congress it must
mean that no foreign nation shall at
tempt to coonize or control any island
or country on this side of the Allan
tic, but that we may go wherever and
whenever we please and buy or capture
whatever we choose and make it ours
to govern or to loot as we may decide.
This is the only possible meaning that
the Monroe Doctrine can have as
taught by the Imperialists of the Unit
ed States.
II ceams rathar inconsistent for
President Roosevelt to praise Post
master General Smith so highly on
leaving his cabinet. Not that Mr..
Smith does not well deserve all the
good things the president says of him.
but that the man selected to take his
place is almost everything in politics
that Mr.. Smith is not; and If Mr..
Smith is Roosevelts kind of man the
query is why didn't he select some one
with at least some of his good quail
ties to succeed him. Roosevelt with
all his boasted courage in fighting
mountain cats is pandering to the boss
element as completely as did his prede-
cessor, whose backbone, as Roosevelt
once said, was like unto wet bath
towel.
Senator Hoar wants to Danish an
archists to some island and let them
there work out their own theory of do
ing without government Since the
government refuses to allow the Fill
pinos their inalienable right to have
their own way on their own island it will
not be likely to look with favor on Sen
ator Hoar's project. Our governments
perfidy in dealing with the Filipinos
does its full share toward making an
archists out of men who believe in the
principles of liberty and justice. Wher
government uses its force to oppress
instead of protect, to destroy instead
of uphold the rights Of human beings it
doesn't create very deep respect for
its purposes.

nothing. I am one of the Johnstowns

now they are making 1t hell for the ne

Once more unto the breach good
about what time President Roosevelt is
going 20 retract what he wrote about
by the official records at Jackson, Miss,
that Mr.. Davis never was governor, nor
VAS he ever a member of the Legislature
of that State, and in a public address
made after the act of Reputation, he de-
clared he was opposed to it and the debt
ought to be paid, and this amateur his
torian denounces him in his hook as an
arch traitor and repudiatOr. Mr. Davis
fought in Mexico for the honor of the
flag; won the victory at Buena Vista;
was desperately wounded and for five
years walked with crutches; married
General Taylor's daughter for his first
wife and didn't run away with her, either;
was Secretary of War under Franklin
Pierce, remodeled the curriculum at West
Point and it stands today as he framed
it; was a member of the United States
Senate when his State seeded and, ike
General Lee, he went with his people
He did not seek the presidency or the
Confcderacy and insisted that another De
chosen, Now all this has long since
been established and if Mr.. Roosevelt did
rot know 1t he could have known it,
He certainly knows it now, and II ne is
& gentleman he will retract 1T and apollo
gize to Mrs Davis and the family and TO
the sainted shade of Miss Winnie and to
the people of the South. He called him
an arch traitor and arch repudlator anu
compared him to Benedict Arnold and
that slanderous libel is in print in
book of so-called history and has poison
ed the minds of all the fools, fanatics
and idiots who have read it. When is he
going to retract?
The international Cyclopeda, edited by
distinguished professors of Columbia
University and Dartmouth College says
of Mr. Davis: "He was a ripe scholar,
q vigorous writer, a splendid orator, a
brave soldier, true gentleman, an &C
complished statesman, sturdy cham
pion. proud true patriot lover OF I'D
erty, a Christian hero-this is the Jefer-
son Davis that history will cherish.
General Lee was his bosom friend ana
confidant and yet this so-called historian,
this rough rider and bear hunter praises
Lee while he defames his friend, man
infinitely his superior in every moral at
tribute and every noble emotion But
maybe he will retract and apologlze
though Tom Moore says:
But faith, fanatic faith, once welded
fast
To some dear falsehood hugs it to the
last
He had better retract. for some of oul
old soldiers are very mad about 1t. IheS
are talking about suing him for slandel
and garnisheeing the government Tor NJ:
salary. Killing bears in the wilderness
won't save him nor will that little brusl
we had in Cuba. That is perhaps th'
biggest little war we have ever had ah'
every small politician and stump orato
who wants an office jumps up and says
