What the Matter Was.

A hatless, bedraggled and bowling 3
year-old stood in the gutter on Four
tenth street yesterday afternoon, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser,
and attracted such a crowd that a po-
liceman had to clear the sidewalks. No
one seemed to know what was the mat
ter with him. and his mother, who
knelt beside him, begging him to stop
crying. looked as disheve1ed as her
offspring. The crowd. with the. quick
imagination and ready resources pecu-
liar to crowds, put two and two togeth-
Grand made five. as usual.
He's been ruin over" said one wom-
an, in tone of horror.
THAT wagon knocked 'em both
down." said another.
And his hat saved his head, but he
lost the hat"
"Poor child"
Poor woman"
why, he. wasn't run over. He's lost.
That isn't his mother. 1 guess she's
looking for him. poor thing"
She'll be in luck if she doesn't find
him, the cry baby" from an unfeeling
man.
WAS he badly hurt? Teeth knocked
out? Did they arrest the motorman?''
Children will run, in front of cars.
I pity the motorman."
'Ah, here comes a policeman"
This way. officer. A lost child for
the station house."
Both knocked down by car.
There's the motoman without his hat"
The child continued to howl, and the
woman, frightened by the crowd, be-
gan to- weep. The policeman pressed
his bulgy person into the crush and
asked What's the matter here?
What's the matter?"
go away! Go away!"cried the wom-
an, Wringing her hands and in terror
at the sight of the uniform. HE has
lost his candy. Can't a child cry not
if he wants? 1t is free country, don't
it?"
Then the sympathetic crowd laughed.
the officer chuckled. and the bowling
baby. was led away forcibly by his
mother.

George what is this I've been read
ing about the control of the army
being placed in the hands of a gen
eral staff? What is a general staff,
George?" asked the woman, accord
ing to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"A general staff my dear, is bunch
of gold lace and brass buttons that
poses around a library table and pulls
the wires that keep the soldiers NOV
ing"
THANK you, George. You are always
so lucid. l suppose the general staff
runs the army instead of bothering
the generals in the field to do it?''
That's about right, my dear. They
stay there in Washington and keep
in touch with the best restaurants and
the paymaSter and the social gather
ings, and relieve the fighting gener-
ais of all the responsibility"
How nice that is! And it's some
thing new, too, isn't it? 1 don't re-
member reading that Alexander was
ever helped in that way, or Hannibal,
or Julius Caesar, or Napoleon. But,
of course, they were so dreadfuly old
fashioned and so rash. Just think
how much slower the worlds fighting
would have been if the general staff
had been consulted every time Ma
polean wanted to make a move. There
wasn't any telegraph then, you know,
and so the general would have had to
send a courier to Paris to ask if the
staff would approve of his advancing
the right center, or withdrawing the
left wing, or making a concerted night
attack all along the line. How differ
ent things would have turned out,
DEAR
You are quite right, my love. The
general staff would have cut short a
good many of Maps pet surprises, and
l rather think history would have to
be rewritten"
Yes, dear. And just think how
funny 1t would be if one of our COM
manding generals, just as he was go
ing into battle, should suddenly dis
cover that the telegraph wires were out
OF order and the wireless machines in
the repair shop. How would he know
whether to advance or retreat until
he heard from home? ?"
THAT would be very funny. nv
love; very funny"
Thank you, George. 1t seems funny
to me. But l guess it seems funnier
to us than 1t would to the command
ing officer"

WHY ABLE COUNSEL,

ExLieut. Gov Tillman, in speaking
of the Columbia tragedy. is reported to
have said: when 1 go to trial 1 will
be represented by the best talent the
state of South Carolina has ever pro-
duced and will be able to show
why l had to shoot Mr.. Gonzales"
Did he mean to be understood as
saying that in order to show that he
had to shoot Mr.. Gonzales it is neces-
sary for him to have the best talent
South Carolina ever produced? 1t
would seem so. And yet if he had
to shoot Mr.. Gonzales he could show
that fact without the assistance of
lawyers. As far as we can see there
could have been only one reason why
he had to shoot him, and that was
to prevent being shot himself, and
there is no evidence that any such
reason existed. AS far as anybody
knows Mr.. Gonzales had no reason for
wanting to shoot Mr.. Tillman, and 1t
is safe to assume that he did not
want to shoot him. He had no per-
sonal grievance against him. He had
not been harmed by him in any way.
Mr.. Tillman as far as the public now
knows, had no reason for thinking that
Mr.. Gonzales would attack him. He
doubtless believed that Mr. Gonzales
would defend himself if attacked, but
there was absolutely nothing in the
situation to lead him to think that Mr.
Gonzales would be the aggressor.
Perhaps Mr.. Tillman thinks the at
tacks. which Mr.. Gonzales made upon
him six months before the tragedy, in
his newspaper, were a sufficient excuse
for shooting him. Under the law they
were no excuse. The courts were open
to Mr.. Tillman if he felt that Mr.
Gonzales had done him a wrong. 1t
must be recollected that Mr.. Gonza-
les was guided in his newspaper policy
by what he believed to be his duty to
the people of the state. He did not
regard Mr.. Tillman as a fit man to be
governor, and he said so rather forci-
bly, He attacked Mr.. TilIman as a
candidate for the governorship and
not as an individual.
1t seems to us that If Mr.. TiIlman
had a good reason for shooting Mr..
Gonzales, as he intimates in the fore
going remark, he would have stated
it at once. He would not have waited
until his trial to state it. But now
that he has declared that he had to
do what he did. that is, that he was
justified in shooting Mr.. Gonzales, the
public will wait with much curiosity
to hear why he haAf'to shoot him.

Citizens of Birmingham, Ala, have
offered fifty carloads of coal to be dis
tributed among the poor of New York
city. Mayor Low of New York has de-
clined the tender, with thanks, saying
that, New York will take care of her
poor. The incident, however, shows
the genuine sympathy that is felt in
the South for the sufferings of those
less fortunate people who are domiciled
in the rigorous ATTITUDES of the North.
In the South the fuel question has not
become acute. With our open CRATES
and fireplaees, and an abundance of
oak and pine wood to burn, we should
get through winter quite comfort
ably even il tAere were not a pound
of coal to be had. But we have some
soft coal in Alabama. and We are quite
willing to share it with our neighbors

A new grain Is being grown in the
state of Washington. 1t is called
corn-wheat. and the claim is made
that it combines the good qualities of
both corn and wheat. In appearance
the grain resembles wheat, though the
Kernels are about twice as large as
those of ordinary wheat. The yield
is from so to 100 bushels to the acre.
The cultivation, of this grain is be-
heved to promise considerable eco
nomic changes in the Pacific North
west. where Indian corn does not grow
very well. Corn-wheat is to be used
in fattening stock.

Stories Of poverty and distress are
coming from both England and
Sweden. In London the number of I'M
employed is said to be larger than for
many years, while the winter is ex-
ceptionally severe. In consequence the
death rate among the very poor is high
and the suffering is intense Among
the London sufferers are many soldiers
who saw service in South Africa and
were mustered out at the close of
that conflict. In Northern Sweden it is
stated there are 10000 persons who are
starving, because Of the failure of the
crops last season. Heretofore the
Swedes have fallen back on fish in
times of crop failures, but this year
there is also a scarcity of fish.

The faculty of Yale College recently
decided that all students who are I'M
able to swim at the time of their ma
circulation shall learn to do so at
once. If there is any other institu-
ton of learning in the country that
requires its students to know how to
swim, the fact is not generally known.
And whether it is quite the proper
thing for a school TO make any such
requirement, may be open to argu-
ment. But 1t will not be disputed
that knowing how to swim is an ac-
complishment that ought to be pos
sessed by every man. and it would be
a very good thing if all women were
swimmers also. Every summer there
are stories in the news dispatches of
drowning tragedies in which men and
women who could not swim were the
victims
