Expensive Chew Of Tobacco.

Frank Keimer. farmer living near
Princeton, ILL.,. started from home few
days ago to buy hogs. and as he passed
out Of the house he picked up leaf of
tobacco and stuffed it in the same
pocket with twenty dollar bill, says a
Harrisburg QllD special to the St. Lou.
Is Republic. On the way to town he
crumbled up the tobacco and put it in
his mouth. 1t tasted rather queer, but
he continued to chew It. When he made
his purchase of hogs he discovered he
had chewed up the bill with the tobac-
CO. He had chewed the quid for at
least an hour, and nothing but the pulp
remained.

Norwegians Make Good Americans.


Henry Bordenich, the United State.
consul general at Christiania. Norway,
reports that during the year 1902 the
emigrants from Norway to the United
States numbered $1,000, and 1903 prom
ises still larger figures. The reasons
for the great increase in emigration
during the last few years are to be
found in scarcity Of work, poor pros
poets for the future, high taxation and
information received from friends in
the United States of the satisfactory
conditions found here. Large sums
of money are sent from Norwegians
in the United States to their relatives
here The amount in 1902 has been
estimated at no less than $l,0OOOOO."
The Norwegians are among the most
desirable immigrants that come to this
country. They mainly settle on the
agricultural lands Of the northwest,
where they have become powerful
factor in the development Of the coun-
try. They are Industrious and eco
nomical, taking kindly to our institu-
tons, and make good citizens. We
have plenty of room in this country for
these hardy descendants of the vi
kings.

John Mitchell's Advice.

1t Is generally conceded that John
Mitchell is one of the most popular and
clear headed OF all the leaders of or
ganized labor. lie has shown himself
to be man of breadth Of view, of to
Grant spirit and of careful Judgment.
and thoughtful labor unionists listen
when he speaks. In an address be-
fore the University club in New York
the other day he said:
am glad to have an opportunity of say.
ing in New York that my chief business Is
not the organization of strikes. l abho'
strikes. They bring misery and hardship
to too many men and women. l am II,
favor of strike only when all other
means to get the just rights Of labor havu
failed. And l am glad to tell you that tho
understanding between labor and capital
is getting better every day.
1t must not be supposed that the trade
agreement will prevent all strikes. 1t will
undoubtedly minimize these industrial
conflicts by obviating MISUNDERSTANDING.
by showing each side the position of tho
other, by creating a more friendly feeling
between employers and employees and.
finally, by making strikes and lockouts
when they do occur, SO widespread, gen
eral and expensive that their recurrence
will be avoided.

nor is it by any means solely applca.

Money For the Canal.

Already Wall street has begun to
discuss with great deal of interest
the manner in which the Panama
payment will be made and how it will
affect the money market. This is quite
natural, as Wall street is regarded rs
the money center of the country.
AS the canal situation now stands
the United States government is bound
to pay upon the ratification of the
treaty $4O,000,000 to the French share
holders in the Panama enterprise and
100000 more to the isthmian state
selling the canal. On the face of things
this would appear TO mean the laying
down" on given date of $50,O00,OOO ut
Paris and Colon. If shipment of such
q sum were to be made in actual cash
the question would arise whether it
would be obtained from the treasury
vaults or from the money market. 1t
might be drawn from either, for, in ad-
dition to the $144, 100000 actual cash in
the treasurer's own hands. the govern
ment has $159,0O0.000 on deposit in
banks and subject to demand.
If only idle cash in the treasury
vaults is Used for this purpose, there
would apparently be no disturbance in
the money market, while. on the other
hand. if the banks We're required to
send $5O,0OO0O0 the money market
would naturally be much upset for a
time Uncle Sam has, however, suiii-
cient funds accumulated to meet this
obligation without embarrassment.

Christmas.

The snow lies deep on the mooriands.
The night sinks gently down,
While the chill winds sad vibrations
Shake the forest bare and brown;
But. although the night Is dreary.
There's a glory in the skies.
For, behold. the little Christ Child
In the manger lowly lies.
Oh. wild winds. carry the story
And spread the tidings afar
That the birth of the King OF Glory
Is heralded by star!
oh. angels with exultation
Sing loud your praises sweet
While the wise men haste from distant
lands
To worship at his feet,
For he was by angels welcomed
And by prophets long foretold,
So they travel far through the gloomy
night
To offer him myrrh and gold.

The World and Its Humorists.

Somehow the world very soon forgets
the man who makes it laugh. A recent
visitor to the old home of Bill Nye in
North Carolina, complains that the last
resting place of the great humorlst is
utterly deserted and without any mark
except the tangled and rank weeds,
with an empty bottle lying there where
someone has thrown it from the high
way. The same unkind treatment IS
accorded the graves of those other great
morists-Artemus Ward and Seba
Smith, known in literature as Mayor
Jack Downing. These three men were
all born in Maine, though only one OF
them sleeps within its soil, and made
more people laugh than any other trio
of Americans during the 10th century.
1t seems pity that their resting places
are so soon forgotten and neglected.
The world owes much to them and to
their memory, and even if it does not
erect stately monuments over thelr
dust, the least it can do in decency is to
keep the weeds and rubbish off from
their graves Journal.

TRYING TO cIIMB MOUNT Mckinley.

The failure of the expedition under
DR.. F. A. Cook and Robert Dunn to
reach the summit Of Mount Mckinley,
Alaska, 20. 800 fest Omitted States Geo
logical Survey, can not but add impe-
tus to sub Arctic alpining. Theirs was
the first attempt. MountSt. Elias, more
than two thousand feet lower than NC
Kinley, was unsuccessfully attacked
seven times before the Duke'of AbruZzi
gained its summit. In Alaska, as in no
other part of the world, the most seri-
GUS difficulties both in alpining and
sledge travel combine to repel the ex-
plorer. Mount St. Elias rises abruptly
18, 900 feet from the Pacific Ocean across
sixty miles of solid ice; Mount McKin-
ley from a plain scarce two thousand
five hundred feet in altitude, compelling
the climber, between actual base OF at
tack and summit, to attempt perpen-
dicular height heretofore untried.
Many persons especially on the Pa
.cific coast, believe Mount Mckinley can
not be scaled. Experts, however, de-
clare that trained Swiss or Italian guides
should be tried on the peak before
reaching any such conclusion. This is
objected to on two grounds: First, that
owing to the peculiar nature of the
European guide-he is partial failure
in the. Canadian Rockies, where he keeps
losing himself in the woods-it would
be impossible for him to endure the six
weeks travel with pack horses, across
the trackless tundra and forests of
Western Alaska, required to reach the
foot of the mountain; second, owing to
a feeling especially prevalent in the
West, that Americans alone should
reach the summit of the highest noun
tain on the continent.
The Cook party, after two attempts,
were checked by perpendicular wall
more than five thousand feet high.
Then they completely circled the noun
tain, seeing no other point of attack
more promising. Future attempts will
be made by much the same route, since
the southern and eastern TANKS OF the
mountain lie across forty miles of snow
peaks and ice, in which there is not a
drop of water nor the least sign of veg
citation; while on the north and west,
only one range of ten thousand-foot
peaks eparates the main mountain
from ne valleys of the Yukon and Ia
mana Rivers. Glaciation has probably
wrought more havoc among the noun
tains of Alaska than anywhere else in
the world. No glacial period has poured
its dwelling ice over their TANKS, as In
Switzerland, nor are the glaciers OF re-
cent growth; the immense lce-rlvers OF
Alaska have in almost historic tunes
simply receded slightly in their beds,
leaving perpendicular walls on all sides.

THE BRADBURY ESTATE.

Claim of Sa5, 900 for Professional and
Personal Services Disallowed.
Hon. J. O. Bradbury of Saco, an
executor of the estate of the late Hon.
James W. Bradbury of Augusta, for
merly United States Senator from
Name filed his personal account in the
Kennebec county probate court, ask
ing to be allowed $3.50 for time, re-
linquishment of business, professional
services as attorney-at-law and per-
sonal attention to the business and per-
sonal affairs of James W. Bradbury,
rendered him at his request, from
March IS, 1891, to the date Of Mr.. Brad
bury's death, January 6, 1901, and ex-
penses incurred in SO doing, payable at
the death of Mr.. Bradbury, according
to the mutual agreement by and be-
tween the said James W. Bradbury and
said James 0. Bradbury" 1t is
claimed in the account that the late
Mr.. Bradbury promised the Saco attor-
ney that $4,000 should be paid to him
at the formers death.
Under date of Monday, November
23d, the judge of probate disallowed the
account on the ground that it was not
substantiated.
Mr.. Bradbury will probably appeal
from the decision and the case will be
tried out in the higher courts.
