at the metropolitan.
It is not related in fictional history that
the brave and merry Gascon gentleman,
sD'Artagnan, ever married. YETI no per-
sonage in modern literature has been
blessed with so numerous progeny
fighters every one. They swarm in the
pages Of contemporary fiction, they go
slashing and dashing through the modern
drama To each is given a noble origin
and phenomenal sword hand and with
no other asset, save lofty sense Of
honor, each wins life's battle and often
beauteous lady's hand and fortune be-
side No emprise is too difficult. no ad-
venture too dangerous for these brave
sons of D,Artagnan, who perform
prodigies of valor single handed and bear
themselves with becoming modesty. But
the great Musketeer was the best, as; he
was the first of them all.
A worthy son Is that Castor de Marsac,
whose exploits Stanley Weyman has stir
ringly recorded in "A Gentleman & of
France, Z, whose deeds have been cleyerly
set into a play by Harriet Ford, and whose
personality is assumed by that beau ideal
of romantic actors, Kyrle Beew. The
book enjoyed a fine vogue and now the
drama wins success that is more. than

Eating Out Of the Presidents
Hand" .$

Our headline artist humorously summed
up yesterday the Washington correspond
ents story of the recently developed mar
velous tractability on the part Of the SEN
ate by writing: 1.-THE upper branch is now
said to be eating out of the presidents
hand" Truly, never did a wild beast
tanner have more amazing success in his
work than President Roosevelt has had
with the trust~loving senators the last few
days. While most Of these senators love
the trust as q brother they have come
smilingly up and taken their medicine
without whimper at three different
times.
This tanning Of the wild senate, this
been brought about by two powerful
forces, and they are:
Public opinion.
President Roosevelt.
The senate having got out of the way of
representing the American people, Pres
ident Roosevelt stepped into speak and
work for them. He was not content to
sit in the White House, passive specta-
tor, while the senate put up games to
pie. He was not willing to take SO color
less a part as to sit in his office and wait
with linked pen to approve whatever sort
Of loaded and hypocritical legislation con-
gress might forward to him while the SEN
ators laughed at each other as the augurs
of Rome laughed over the Roman religion.
When he perceived the unpatriotic and
faithess intention of some of the sena-
tors he elected himself a third house in
the national Legislature and introduced
and unanimously passed measures which
were sent along to the senate.
!. The trust-loving senators growled and
rpared and bitterly expressed their resent
Inent at executive interference In legisla-
ton, but the president took up the red
hot tanning iron of public opinion and
warned the senators that any foolishness
would be punished with a call for an extra
session which would be in effect an ap-
peal to the American people and an abso-
lutely unevadable placing of responsibility
for trust legislation on the unwilling SEN
ators first and the republican party sec
Ond. a-- st -
Then there was no choice. With Rookie
feller kilograms in their pockets, the SEN
ators voted right. All of which teaches
the advantage of having virile, vigorous
and aggressively patriotic president in Of
fce-and of keeping him there.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
REFoRMAUbRY FOR WOMEN.

STATE REFoRMAUoRY FOR WOMEN.
To the Editor Of The Journal
The bill which has been introduced in
the legislature for the establishment of a
reformatory for women deserves the
prompt. support of all who are anxious
that Minnesota shall no longer neglect
the duty Of making proper provision for
the detention and treatment of female de-
linquents, to the end that those who may
be aided to return to right living may be
encouraged to do so, and those who are
incorrigible may be detained in suitable
custodial care away from the publicity
of Jail or WOrkhouse.
In study Of the subject Massachusetts,
will be found to have the most complete
statistical information concerning the
women who have come under state care
in the manner suggested.
During the eighteen years closing in
1901, there had been committed to the
Massachusetts, reforma tory prison for wo-
men, ASA women convicted of ofenses
grouped under the following general clas-
sifications:
For offenses against person or property. 596
For ofenses against chastity .......... 1.o67

MERITED CONTEMPT.

The charge OF woman hating is absurd
enough, but there can be no doubt OF
Lord Kitchener's opinion Of the woman

promising than his contempt for effemi-
macy On his return from Egypt it is
said, young social fop asked the general
for his autograph, which he intended to
have worked in silk on flimsy lace hand
kerchief he took out Of his pocket. Kftch-
ener took up the scented handkerchief,
with the remark: "Your sisters, sup
pose mo, sir, my own. very pretty
pattern, isn't it?" replied the young lord.
'.very; what is your taste in hairpins?''
asked the man who had won back Khar-

It is too bad that Mankato is not on the
Missouri river, or that the quiet, lamblike
Minnesota does not have the fierce incon-
stancy Of the Big Muddy. The Mankato
people propose to spend several hundred
thousand dollars diverting the river so
that they can annex North Mankato, now
separated from the city by the Minnesota.
If it were the Missouri, all they would
have to do would be to drive a pile or
two, and the river would take the hint
and do the rest.

Who says that union labor is ever AFRO.

Who says that union labor is ever arro-
CANT? If you hear anybody say so, just
refer him to the modesty Of the Chicago
teamster's union in demanding that the
office buildings shall use no fuel gas, but
depend exclusively on coal (Which has to
be hauled) and cut out the connections
of their furnaces with gas (Which doesn't
have to be hauled).

The public will be interested in the
North w estern's experiment of laying off
as many 'dead' freight trains as possible
on Sundays, with the object Of giving
their employees the seventh day rest that
all toilers who have enjoy 50 much. If
interest in Sunday as holy day is some
what lessened, interest in it as a rest day
is as strong as ever, and 1T should be

Sunday labor to get along with just as
little of it as is consistent with the pub

London, Jan. 10.-The negotiations

method of paying the Chinese indemni-

eeptance of the Chinese. proposal to pay
in silver does not meet with the cor

America and England have both
been peculiarly generous to China. but
this last step meets with considera bic
opposition IN various quarters. We are
willing to do everything in our power,
but the situation is very complicated.
The Chinese say that if they have TO
pay it in gold it viii mean their coun-
try's ruin. On the other hand. if the
payments are made in silver at the
present value Of the tael, the indemni-
~. which was made as low as IL con-
sistently could be made, win be enor-
mcusly reduced. Possibly We may be
able to reach some compromise which

United states but to the other powers

ments and other arrange ments by
which all the credit nations may be
satisfied and serious consequences to
