Poor, Abused Thing!

Has the Adjective no rights which
the novelist is bound to respect? asks
Sewell Ford, in The Reader. Must the

NIT to any kind of dizzy juggling that
may suit the frantic mood Of the am
bilious fictionist grasping wildly for
characteristic style?"
The author of Violet Fantasies" for
instance, her back hair in reckless dis
array, is describing her newest heroine.
This is the way she does it:
Her dress was a kind of insincere

shaded in some tender lights almost to
the color of forgetfulnesS." "st'
Now what manner of treatment Is
that for well-bred delicate adjectives?
Think of it, you warm-hearted soft

larly to the societies for the prevention
of various things! Think of these

Citations abruptly separated from
nouns with whom, as 1t were, they have
been brought up. and unfeelingly thrust
into the company of words that have
always been utter strangers to them
Imagine the shock to the feelings of
such subtle, heightened adjective as
'insincere,' one that suggests most
comprehensively a whole train Of hu-
man doings, on being tossed carelessly
into companionship with a vulgar, low
bred word such as yellow!

NEXT YEARS CONTEST.

The splendid victory won by the
Democrats in New York city on Tues
day has started speculation as to the
chances for Democratic success in 1904.
1t is believed that the Democrats can
carry New York If they nominate a
man who has the confidence of the busi-
ness element. If they are reasonably
certain of that state they can, by MAX
ing special efforts. get enough cleo
toral votes from other states which.
together with the electoral votes of the
South, will be sufficient to elect the
Democratic candidate. s."
1t is the expectation now that the
Republicans will nominate the Presi-
dent. There has been a question for
sometime whether he could carry New
York, and some of his friends have
gone so far as to say that he could be
elected without that state, thus admit
ting the probability that he couldn't
carry it. But it is a pretty safe pre-
diction that if the President should be
nominated and should lose New York.
he would lose the election.
1t is all a matter of doubt yet as
to whom the Democrats will nominate,
but now that it is apparent that they
have good chance of electing their
candidate there ought to be no delay
on the part of the factions in getting
together. There is no good reason why
there should continue to be differences
in the party that would prevent the
nomination of the man who would
stand the best chance OF being elected.
1t is an easy matter TO make a plat
form out of live issues upon which all
Democrats can stand. Then why In
sist upon issues that are practically
dead? why object to men as candl-
dates who seem to be acceptable to the
great majority OF the Democracy? 1t
is time all differences that have sepa-
rated Democrats should be gotten rid
Of. The sooner this is done the better
it will be for the party.

ObIisfng Highwayman.

Ex-Congressman John Bell tells a
story of time when he once got into
grave peril on account of his nose,
says the New York Times. He was
going to Leadville in the early days on
a stage coach which was held up by
highwaymen. The passengers were
ranged in a row outside with their
hands up, the familiar attitude being
enforced by a gun in the hands of
one of the gentlemen of the road while
the other went through the various
pockets at his leisure
In the midst of the ceremony Mr..
Bells nose began to itch with that
maddening persistency calculated to
drive to insanity or the grave If not
relieved. Involuntarily his right hand
began to lower itself to the seat of
trouble.
Hands up, there!" called the man
behind the gun, sternly.
Bells hand shot back into place, but
in a moment began to. lower itself
again.
Whats the matter with your" in
quired the bandit. Are you anxious
to become a lead mine?"
MY nose itches so 1 can't stand it
any longer" said Mr.. Bell. 1--WE SIM
ply got to scratch it,"

agent because I'll do it for you

THE ELECTIONS AND THE PRES
IDENT.


The President was quoted In the dis
patches as saying, on his arrival in
Washington from oyster Bay on the
evening of the election, that he was
particularly pleased with the election
news from Ohio. Had he good REASONS
TO be pleased?
If he was thinking only of his party
he had of course good reasons. but
If he had also in mind his chances for
succeeding himself it is doubtful if he
had such reasons. The way the stu
alton presents itself is this: There
was much doubt about the Presidents
ability to carry New York before the
election on Tuesday. There is much
greater doubt now. Without that state
his chances for being elected wouldn't
be very good. 1t is true of course that
he could be elected without New York,
but the probability is that if New York
went against him one or, two of, the
other states necessary for his election
would go against him
The big Democratic victory in New
York city on Tuesday tustifies a strong
doubt that the President would carry
New York state, particularly as he is
extremely unpopular with financial and
business interests, 1t wouldn't be sur
prising therefore If the bosses of the
Republican party should begin at once
the agitation of the question whether
under the circumstances, it would be
wise to risk nominating the President
If they should come to the conclusion
that the probability of his inability to
carry New York made it doubtful
whether it would be advisable to nomi-
nate him, where would they look for a
candidate? Wouldn't they naturally
look in the direction of Ohio? There
Senator Hanna gained a big victory
one of the biggest ever won in that
state. Besides, the senator is in every
way acceptable to the financial as well
as the business interests of the coun-
try. He is even on good terms with
the labor element, since he is in pretty
close touch with labor leaders.
We do not see therefore that the
President, from the standpoint OF his
own political interests. had good rea-
sons for being satisfied with the cleo
ton news from Ohio. 1t is true of
course that Senator Hanna is pledged
to the support of the President. but
that pledge doesn't mean that if his
party decides not to nominate the Pres
ident he shall not accept the nominal
ton. -.

what Held Her.

AT a local vaudeville theater the
other evening"" said the theater-goer,
IAN act was introduced that held the
audience spelIbound for the time being,
says an exchange. "a young woman,
while in a comatose state, lies sus-
pended in mid-air, with absolutely
nothing to hold her up. OF course. 1t
is a trick of the show business, but
it aroused the curiosity of a young
woman, who was seated directly in
front of me. She was accompanied by
a man, and to him she expressed her
wonderment at such feat being per-
formed. She could not imagine that
such a thing could be realized.
I'D just like to know what holds
her up in that position?" she asked of
her escort.
THE young man hesitated for mo-
ment and then replied:
Airless wire, of course
And he settled back in his seat with
the air of a man who had solved a great
problem"

mark in the audience. When just
at the perihelion of pathos clear an
deliberate voice spoke out behind him:
Guess he wouldn't talk so hifalutin
if he knew his breeches was busted
clean out behind" From that moment
the great orator could not get on. The
people in front began to laugh and
there was a loud roar in his rear. He
dared not reverse his position for fear
of showing a new audience his condi-
ton. He sweat Blood as the phrase
goes, made a muddy excuse for delay
and backed into a chair. When a
chance came to examine his trousers
he found there was nothing in the
world the matter with them. The fell
low had played trick and spoiled the
meeting.

Rev ?. c. Blackiston, a preacher of
Clayton. Del, has found a solution of
the servant girl problem. He told
about it to a jury in a magistrates
court. The reverend gentleman had
been arrested on complaint of a woman
who had been a servant in his house.
She alleged that he had used violent
language to her and threatened to kill
her. The preacher was his own at
torney at the trial. The way to man
age a servant girl, he told the jury, was
TO take double barreled shotgun and
tell her you will blow her head on"
He had done that, he said, but Of
course it was only a bluff" to make
her work. After celebrating twelve
minutes the jury said the preacher
had been guilty of no offense against
the law in the application of his unique
recipe for making good servants.
