BELOVED, B UT STUPID.

A Macon (MissourD man is foolishly petitioning for divorce. He ayers that his wife has got into the habit of walk ing him in the middle of the night in order to pull his hair. He further as- serts that she once commanded him to leave her, but that when he began packing his trunk she ordered him not to leave, and swore she would follow him to the ends of the earth if he did.
 This Macon man, like many other men who have good and loving wives. doesn't know when he is well off. Why should he want to leave wife who evil dently has her mind on him all the time and whose heart is evidently in the right place? What if she does wake him in the middle of the night to pull his hair? That wont hurt him much, and 1t wont hurt him as much as 1t would if his wife didn't love him. He doesn't understand her She likes to pull his hair, but she loves him and wont let, him leave her if she can help l it. Her order to him to leave her | doesn't count. There is no inconsistent cy in her performances, and we do not envy the stupid man who can't see that it is his wifes love for him that makes her pay such attention to him. If she
 didn't love him she wouldn't bother
 about pulling his hair in the middle of
 the night, and she would let him leave her or would leave him. If he succeeds
 in getting away from his wife he will
 yet look respectfully back to the time
 when he was truly loved. We hope for his good that he wont succeed.

WHAT CHINA MAY LOSE,

There are reports of the serious ill.,
 ness of Yung Lu, the most powerful man in the Chinese empire, the nephew of the empress dowager, the father-in-
 law of the two brothers of the en- peror, and who practically holds the scepter in kis hands. If Yung Lu should give up the ghost there will die with him a long string of titles, for he probably has more honorary attach ments to his name than any other liv- ing man. The etiquette of the Chinese court requires that all of them shall be used when he is addressed officially and here they are: Expositor of the ancient classics to the Emperor; senior guardian to the heir apparent; deco rated with the double-eyed peacock S feather and the imperial yellow riding jacket; permitted by imperial decree to use purple reins; grand secretary of the Wenhua throne hall; senior minis ter of the Wenyuan Cabinet; control Ter general of the affairs of the Board
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-04-04

of Revenue: imperial high commits sioner; inspector general of the banner armies; generalissimo of the Wuwei army; supreme commandant of the land and naval forces of the Peiyang administration; captain general of the forces on service; minister of the pres ence; minister of the Grand Council; chief minister of she Department Of State Affairs: hereditary noble of the seventh and eighth classes.
 It would be a pity if all that should die, and it is therefore to be hoped that the next news from China may be that Yung Lu is on the road to health. China is big country, but she isn't big enough to calmly endure the loss of all that at once.

Oh, damosel with plump and peachy cheek And pouting lips and pert, tip-tilted nose, Some information l of thee now seek. Thou'lt say it's like my nerve, I quite sup
 pose.
 I don't imagine thee person meek
 Of whom mere idle questions one might
 ask; .. So expect a glance so chill and bleak That I will need my furs on for the task. And yet, though I should get the stony eye, l am impelled to ask the reason why. Why wilt thou let thy blondined front hair A looping pendant OCT thy marble brow? Its beauty half obscured is by that bang, And it is not becoming, anyhow. It makes thee look like Maudie of the Gang, Lopsided, skewgeed, twisted and awry. Indeed, 1t jars my teeth-excuse the slang. Wherefore, sweet sister, wilt thou tell me
 why?
 In sooth to look upon 1t gives me fits, For thou seemest like q nickel and two bits. Why should one of thine optics thus be hid? Thou hast no cast or squint to so conceal, Thy lamps look swell in pairs-and that's no
 kid;
 I'm talking to thee just the way feel. If ever to thee I'm to tip my lid Whenas we meet, thu'st got to cut It out Of that one-sided lambrequin get rid.
 Thou'lt do it-nit-of that I've little doubt: However. thou shouldst tumble. should

 And not get fixed in one perpetual wink. -ChicagO News.

in tactics and the handling of arms

in tactics and the handling of arms.
 Though at the time Of It's proposal there was manifest some slight alarm over the idea of the Federal govern ment assuming more direct control over the militia of the states, the com- pensating advantages plainly offered by the bringing to uniform standard of bodies now varying widely in re- quirements for enlistment, arms, or ganization, discipline and idea of eff- ciency were so great that the new ma tional militia law has, on the whole, everywhere commended itself, The law makes no attempt to eoerce states or territories into conforming with it's provisions, but to such as adopt them it offers the opportunity to put their militia forces on the plane of the army, and to accustom them to the same arms and accoutrement, discipline and physical and military standards as those obtaining among regulars
 = The requirements proposed will, of course, considerably change the charac- ter of militia service, rendering it rath- CT more serious matter than it has been Fear has been expressed that the stiffening up would make member ship in the militia unpopular; however. there has been, at least so far, no sign of this effect. Generally officers and men of the citizen -soldiery welcome the chance to lift the ideals of their orr ganizations to that of the professional arrny.-Philadelphia Ledger.

right foot. He held it thus for few moments, and then, leaning over, seized the neck in his powerful bill, and broke it at one bite. After that he passed his bill slowly down the back, breaking it in three or four places, one bite for each. The cracking of the bones could be distinctly heard. Then he carried the squirrel to the darkest corner of the cage, pushed it hard against the net ting for two or three seconds, and jumped up on his perch again. Soon after dusk he came down, dragged out the squirrel and, after crunching the skull with his bill ate the head and shoulder meanwhile holding the body with his feet. While engaged in eating he appeared very savage, and when ap- preached, not only hissed, but spread l out his wings and raised his body feathers, until he looked more than twice his natural size. He paused be- tween each mouthful to smack his lips,
 as it were, opening and shutting his i bill, and moving his tongue, as though | tasting his food. When he had finished, he carried the squirrel to the back of , the cage, and stuffed it into corner. | Then he jumped to the perch again and cleaned his bill by vigorously rubbing it on the perch. first one side and then
 the other. Presently the other owl
 came down. dragged out the squirrel,
 and began to feed. This bird acted
 much the same as the first one had
 done, except that it got even more ex- cited when I came close to the cage; by
 raising its feathers, it swelled itself
 out to such an extent that 1t looked like
 a large ball of feathers, with two yell
 low spots. (the eyes) upon its surface.
 The bird crouched over its prey very
 much like an old hen would crouch over
 her eggs. In the morning, there was
 not hair of the squirrel to be seen;
 the owls had eaten him up, tail and all.
 Along in the afternoon, each of the
 birds elected from the mouth a pellet
 about two and half inches long, con-
 taining the bones and hair of the vic- 1 tim.
 The next night I gave the birds a
 pound of lean raw beef cut into cubes, | Continued on. Seventh Page.)

THE SOFT COAL ROOM.

Anybody who has nose and eyes can smell and see the soft coal boom. F. E.
 Saward, the coal authority of New
 York points out that there are con- cerns engaged in the soft coal trade
 whose tonnage far and away exceeds that of any single anthracite company,
 even in the palny days of that trade.
 The astonishing fact is shown that the
 United States output is beyond that of
 do as much as all the bituminous coal
 mines of Germany, while West Virginia does as much as Belgium. and Illinois as much as France. Tt is marvellous to the greatest degree, and even to one who has been connected with the trade for any length of time the returns for the year 1902 must come as a surprise, for we are so busy looking after our own particular business that it is only
 when the trade statistics in their entire ty are rounded up that one can grasp the situation as it really is. Soft coal
 output in this country has doubled in ten years, so that the tonnage of that | variety of fuel alone for the last year l amounted to the enormous total of 254,- 1 100000 tons.
 If so much of the "soft coal output ! didn't get into the air there would be
 more pleasure in it. But let us not speak
 ill of the bridge that helped to carry us
 over the hiatus in the hard coal output.

ENCOURAGING,

Florida oranges aren't making the State as rich as they were at one time expected to, but perhaps the riches that were not found in oranges will be found in cotton. The increase of the acreage of the celebrated and valuable Sea Island cotton in the counties of Alachua and Levy, Florida, is encour- aging. There were planted last year, in the counties named, some 35,0O0 acres of this long staple cotton, the output of winch was S.40O bales, having a money value of over $500, The crop of 1S99-1900 in these counties was only 4,579 bales, so that the present gain is nearly ninety per cent. This is to be increased the coming season, as the acreage planted in the entire Sea Island cotton belt of the State will be ten per cent. larger than before.
 This is the best cotton grown in the world and the limited area upon which it can be grown keeps the demand in excess of the supply, hence the price is always satisfactory. It sometimes brings twice as much as the Egyptian and is always 50 per cent. higher. If Florida can grow enough of it she may be happy yet.

FEDERAL STANDARDS FOR THE 5g F. MTIITTA

In the ideal state every citizen would be a soldier trained to the science of arms and always ready, while normal ly engaged in peaceful pursuits to his country's advantage, to leave them for her defence on the battlefield. No na- ton is safe which relies upon profes- sional soldiers for its protection; the citizens themselves must constitute the ultimate defence behind the, standing army, rallying to it's reinforcement af- ter the first shock of war, to sustain
 which is the chief purpose of the regu- lar establishment The genius and tra- dition of the United States contenf- plates the training of the citizens for military service in case of emergency, and there has been no time in our his- tory when a considerable bodyewas not availing itself of the opportunities pro- vided by the several states for training

NOMINATIONS THE SENATE HAS
 CONFIRMED.

SoANE
 So the leaders do not agree with the president on the negro question. Their disagreement as to Byrne affords us a conundrum, or would afford one, were it not perfectly well understood that good many senators are inclined to give the president, any president. to under stand that there is & body in the gov- ernment which Is more powerful than he, and which Is always glad to have an opportunity to furnish him with that information. Certainly this must be the explanation of the Byrne and Plimley cases, for, bad as these ap- pointments may be, the records show that they are not too bad for the sen- ate.
 There was the collector of New Or- leans, for example, who kept dive for negroes; there also was the Texas cus- toms collector. another dive keeper, be- sides being forger and an embezzler; there was that other Texas customs collector, who was smuggler; there | was the Charleston collector, who kept an illegal liquor store in the basement of the customs house, where he sold H. | quor to the blind tigers" of the state; there was the internal revenue colleC- | tor of the department of Mississippi and Louisiana. who was accused in an affidavit sworn to by one of the men who recommended him to office, of hav- | ing burglarized the office of the auditor of the state of Louisiana, of having sto- len thence the books of the office, and of having burned them in order to de- stroy the evidence of an issue of false state certificates by Governor Kellogg. | All these criminals were confirmed by the senate, although, in some eases at least, notably in the first and last. ev- idence of their guilt was before it. No; the cases of Byrne and Plimley cannot be explained on the theory that the senate is too good to confirm. an Ad- dicks man. or a man whose incompe- tence for a fiduciary office has been shown by his past history. There is no doubt that the senate would like to have this believed, would like the coun- try to regard 1t as more careful and conscientious than the president and as the upholder of a higher standard of morality than his, but the senate, pre- sumably knowing itself, will not be as- I tonished if this assertion of it's own vir- tue is received with smile that is somewhat ntemptuous.-Henry Lloo- mis Nelson in the Boston Herald.
