The Practical Joker,

Another man has been killed by a
practical joker. This time it was at
Weehawken, N. j.
1t is a dull day indeed in the United
States when some man, woman or
child is not killed by practical joker.
True, these occurrences are not quite
so common as murder, but they are
Just as disastrous. Whenever the
practical joker sets himself in motion
the sexton may as we'll begin to get
ready to dig another grave, for it is
certain to be a case Of "more work for
the undertaken"
The practical joker does not intend
to be cruel; he is only thoughtless.
He does not intend to commit man
slaughter; he is only foolish. But he
gets in his deadly work just the same.
He jerks chair from under friend
who is about to sit down, and the
friend falls to the floor with broken
neck. He trips friend on the side
walk and he falls with broken arm.
He points an "unloaded" weapon at a
friend, who dies with bullet in his
brain. He pushes a friend in front OF
street car to see how near he can
make him miss it, and 10! another
funeral.
The practical joker is all right long
as he is at work and attending to his
own affairs, but as soon as he COM
mences to interfere with those of his
friends look out for fatalities. The
Fool Killer does his best, undoubtedly,
but the practical joker is too much for
him. So. Louis Post Dispatch.

scandalous that the crown princess
thought herself justified in seeking
solace on the manly bosom OF Pro-
fessor Giron. Belgian, Of decidedly
amorous proclivities. The wife gave
tit for tat, but in doing this she forgot
herself to such an extent that in a
moment of temporary mental aberra-
tiou, superinduced by the Belgian's
tumultuous ayowals of love in his most
melliiuous French, she consented to
an elopement to that international
haven of refuge, Switzerland, where
she is now given sufficient time to re-
feet upon the consequences OF her
escapade, and to await the inevitable
subsiding Of her pedagogical lovers
volcanic outbreak of passion. The
crown princess proves herself worthy
of her Bourbon -Hapsburg blood.
There is strong reason to doubt that
she is more sinned against than sin
ner. Her husband may be all that
she considers him to be, but that did
not justify her to leave him and her
children, and to bring scandal upon
the houses of Austria, Saxony and
Tuscany. There is no need to waste
any special sympathy upon the woman
She has committed a taesG pas, 6
serious blunder, and she will un'
questionably have to suffer for it in
the course OF time. There are some
moral and social obligations which
cannot be disregarded with impunitJ
merely because one has been made the
victim of fancied or real wrong. ol
because the hearts affections have
been diverted into different channel
One wrong does not necessarily justif!
another. The world is and should b.
extremely charitable to woman, be
cause woman is ruled by emotion
more than by passion. But it frown
upon all actions that tend to lowe
mans ideal of womanhood and to de
stroy the very foundations OF tamil
and social life. st Louis Mirror.

In view of the revelations Maj Glenn
is making at his trial in Manila for
numbering Filipino prisoners of war,
revelations that trace to high military
authority full responsibility for the
atrocities committed by American
soldiers in the Philippines, it is no
wonder that American sentiment in
Manila was opposed, as the Chicago
Inter Ocean dispatch of December 9th
announced, "to the reopening OF the
case ana again exposing the troubles
In the army" 1t was thought, SO the
Inter Ocean correspondent then cabled,
that "the less said about these matters
the better" And so it turns out. The

the administration follow that clue

A Whole Sermon.

A subscriber, without giving his
name, sends an item from paper,
name not given, and suggests that it
would form a text. 1t is not only a
text, but a whole sermon. The argu-
ment which it presents would seem
plain enough, and yet, strange to say,
there are many honest and intelligent
Republicans who seem perfectly ignor-
ant of the manner in which the syndi-
Gates administer the finances of the
government for their own interest and
profit. The item is as follows:
"The banks run short OF money
recently and the banker who heads
the United States treasury rushes 10
their assistance with the peoples
money and loans to them without
interest, millions. When the people
to whom this belongs need money, dc
they get 1T from their dear, sweet gov.
ernmentP Not on your penny. They
can go to the banks and borrow their
own money and pay well for it. But
the bankers understand the art o.
voting for their interest, while the
masses have no such understanding
When the rich need help they get it
when the poor need help they get it,
in the neck. What an odd arrange
ment. And the people 20 blunderinl
along and never see a thing"
