Potato ExpIodes Like Gun.

"The report of the explosion was fully
as loud as that of a shotgun" is the
statement made by w. A. Routson, Jr.,
of Wooster, o., man who for many
years held a responsible position with
the Pennsylvania lines, in telling of a
peculiar explosion at his home in which
the members of his family were given
great scare. but escaped injury The
household had just taken seats for din
ner. Mr. Routson helped himself to a
large sweet potato, and as 1t touched his
plate the potato exploded, throwing the
hot meal all over the room and making
such a noise as to cause all about the
table to become terribly frightened.
What caused the potato to explode is
mystery. One theory is that in ship
ment 1t came In contact with dynamite,

AN ODD CASE.
This Man Learned to Spell Three
Times and Can't Spell Now
His Curious story.

Think OF man learning how to spell
three times and then not being able to
spell correctly" said an observant man
who takes an interest in subjects of this
sort. according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, land you will have my
case summed up exactly. am not what
you would call bad speller by any
manner OF means. But stumble now
and then, and stumble badly. Why is
it? 1t is the simplest thing in the world.
grew up in the country, attended
country school, and my first spelling
was under the rules of the old-time
school teacher. / learned how to spell
on my feet. 1t is a curious fact that for
long time could not spell the simplest
words unless | stood up. Standing |
could spell anything, and in fact, was
always the winner in the spelling bee.
No one could turn me down. as we
used to say in the country Well. after
this learned how to spell with my PEN
Gil. All my spelling talent went into the
pencil. My tongue forgot the art, and
whether standing or sitting, | could not
spell word unless it belonged to the
simpler kind without using my pencil
Now began to use the typewriter, and
consequently had to learn how to spell
again. Ask me how to spell word now
nd will have to go to the typewriter
unless the word is very simple one.
My tongue won't spell 1t and my PEN
Gil will refuse to write It. So have
learned to spell three times, and as
said before / am not good speller yet"

We are truly blessed in Hawaii. No
terrible storms sweep our coasts. Our
heaviest blows only result in uprooting
a few Algaroba trees, VIGOROUSLY the
most shallow rooted of trees, and when
this occurs it is looked upon as such an
event, that every newspaper publishes
a column about it. Our shores are not
strewed with wrecks. When ever
wrecks occur they are due to the in
competence or carelessness of the Off
GERS as a rule. 1t is very different in
other places, as the kilograms show.

Senator Morgan is an instance of a
man with one idea which has for many
years dominated his life and which he
has used as a very hard worked battle
horse. The senator has advocated in
season and out of season the Nicaragua
Canal route for cutting the continent.
He has for years held the Craftsmanship
of the Canal committee. This position
he has lost, and the chances are that
the world, to say nothing of the United
States, will profit by it. Senator Nor
gan, with all his desire for a canal, has
probably been one of the most serious
stumbling stones in the project. And
he will never know it,

The Panama revolution has run along
remarkably smoothly, as why should it
not when it is protected, so to speak,
by the United States. The commission
for treating about the canal has start
ed already and matters will be hurried
up. The Colombians have completely
last their chance. The whole of this
Panama episode will be valuable les
son to the Republics of Central and
South America. 1t will show them
that when the United States starts in
to get something it will reach what it
desires, and if anything blocks the way,
it will be removed.

Following on Balfour's statement
that he did not think there was much
danger of an outbreak between Japan
and Russia, comes the information that
the Japanese Government considers the
situation as extremely critical. The
Japanese Government stands very
much in awe of popular sentiment and
popular sentiment is decidedly anti
Russian and extremely warlike. If
war comes it will be decidedly a peo-
pies war and not so much a war of
policy.

Reputable men find no difficulty in
getting bondsmen, but the Home Rule
elected candidates seem to be very
much troubled upon what is regarded
in most counties of our country as a
very trivial matter. 1t is one thing to
elect a man, and an entirely different
thing to obtain a bond for the elected.
This is one of the many things that the
Home Rulers have not yet caught on
to. The bond business brings them up
against the sudden and unexpected
sharp shock of responsibility.
