THE probing Of the scandal in the
.post0fflce department shows that a
republican president and his advisors
are determined to ''let no guilty man
escape" 1t should not be forgotten,
either, that many of the abuses COM
planned of extend clear back to Presi-
dent Cleveland's term. But democ-
racy and Cleveland are no more re-
sponsible for the fact that rascals
sometimes obtain federal office than
are republicanism and Roosevelt.
Blame can attach to an executive
only when he neglects or refuses to
wrongs resulting from the
,carelessness or maladministration of
those in authority,

Absent Minded Lord Derby.

Lord Derby could be very absent
minded, and once on a time he walked
with Lord Clarendon, his opponent
and told him all the secrets of the cabi-
net. Lord Clarendon listened amazed,
but thought it too large an order when
he was asked for his advice. 1t was not
for him to counsel his political foes. At
this intimation Lord Derby woke up,
saying, Really, l thought all the time
l was talking to cOlleague"' He had
continued, hardly recognizing the fact,
a controversy he had been having with
other ministers at the foreign office. OF
course LORD Clarendon honorably pre-
served the. cabinet secrets, but he told
his story against Lord Derby and made
a laugh.

Italy. Most of the Powers. excepting
Great Britain, have consequently two
Ambassadors at Rome, one for the
Vatican and one for the court. Some
catholics believe that this attitude
should be maintained, and that event
ually the temporal power will be re-
stored. Others argue that it would be
better to frankly accept the situation
and treat Italy as any other country.
AS Cardinal Sarto, the present Pope.
was on friendly terms with the mem.
bers OF the reigning house of Italy, we
do not know how this fact will affect
the future; time alone can reveal.
When the Pope ceases to regard the
Vatican as his prison and recognizes
the authority of Italy over the late
Papal States, long chapter of history

The Thrice-a-Week World was a brilliant
success i'll the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of APP
proval on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
Is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritOry of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue
This paper for the year 1903, will make
its news service, if possible, more exten-
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar a year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
daihes can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrce-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias IS
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular sub
scription price is only $1.0O per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and THE SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for 81 rs. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is $500

Some Formal Corresponaence.

a matter of fact sacristan of the Ca
thedral of Berlin once wrote the king
of Prussia this brief note:
Sire-I acquaint your majesty, first,
that there are wanting books of psalms
for the royal family. l acquaint your
majesty. second, that there wants wood
to warm the royal seats. l acquaint your
majesty, third, that the balustrade next
the river, behind the church, is become
ruinous. SCHMIDT,
Sacrist of the Cathedral.
The reply of the king was not that of
a gracious majesty" Its stiff formal
ity in initiating the style of the sacris-
tan probably was not taken by the re-
ceiver as complimentary to him:
I acquaint you. Herr Sacrist Schmidt
first, that those who want to sing may
buy books. Second 1 acquaint Herr
Sacrist Schmidt that those who want to
be warm must buy wood. Third, l ac-

The period of incubation OF tho
eggs of ordinary fowls extends up to
about twenty-one days. Under some
circumstances this period is lessened
a day or two; at other times it ex-
tends two, three or four days over
the usual time. AS the time ap-
proaches for the chickens to make
their appearance the hen is more
solicitous than ever about her nest,
and it will be well to do all the neces-
sary work connected with the nest
during the time the hen is off for food
and relaxation. AS hen has to be IN
more or less confinement for so long
a period, it is essential for the sue
cess of the Matching that suitable
hens be obtained for this arduous
task. The best hens for the purpose
are the Brahma, Cochin, Langshan,
Wyandotte and Plymouth Rock, or
any hen with a good percentage OF
the blood of these breeds. These
birds are kindly, and have the mater
nal instinct highly developed. They
are well feathered besides, and con-
sequently give good, warm cover to
the eggs, and to the chickens when
they arrive, being also quieter In
their habits than most fowls, not run
ming the chickens too severely before
the Youngsters have strength to fol-
low them.-Farm and Fireside.
