have queer notions) that this king may
! take a fancy to his advisers ear and
that would not be pleasant. But since
American girls have fallen into the
habit of contracting foreign alliances
they have begun to realize that they
cannot have their cake and eat 1t. too.
They must accept the curious customs
of their husbands land and forget the
country in which they themselves
made the customs. If the king of the
cannibal land should wish to include
his prime minister's ear among his
crown jewels, the bride of that prime
the best of it.
And there must be advantages surely
in the land of Samakaka that would
compensate for even so great a loss
Just how many wives the cannibal
king has we do not know and the prime
minister does not mention it in his adj
yertisement, but next to these the lat
ters bride would surely take prece-
dence. OF course there would be no
great triumph in walking in to dinner
after a procession of three hundred
dusky spouses but it is possible that
the cannibal king has been economical
and that the prime minister's bride
would be able to take her place above
the salt.
To be sure the mention of dinner and
salt suggests painful possibilities to
one who contemplates taking up her
residence in cannibal kingdom. but a
prime minister should be able to con-
vince his master that an American
bride was not to be regarded in the
light of an edible It'd bit. Many mis-
fortunes have overtaken American
girls who have married foreigners.
but it is doubtful If even the king
of a cannibal country would dare to
establish so dastardly, a precedent. 1t
is probable. indeed, that the American
girl who will wed this prime minister
will receive honorable treatment in the
land of Samakaka. Remembering our
own Queen En-, it would not be sur
prising- if this same American girl
would one day have the honor of die
tating the foreign policy of the cam
nibal kingdom. Therefore 1t is diff
cult to refrain from wishing success to
this latest quest of golden girl.

There is a spectacular and some

DID HE DO RIGHT

1t required wonderful quickness of
perception and still more wonderful
daring on the part of the engineer who,
seeing something unusual and awkward
in the swing of lantern used as warn
ing signal to bring his train to stop,
instantly OWNED that it was a beacon
in the hands of outlaws and carried his
train past to safety at full speed. There
are few men who would have dared to
do it, and he deserves all the praise
he will get for his accuracy of instan-
taneous judgment and his courage. But
still the question may be asked wheth-
er he did right.
1t is not the fact that the company's
rules peremptorily required him to stop
that counts most. Every brave man
has disregarded, at some time, the reg
ulations that are meant for routine
conditions and not for the extraordi-
nary. But one must bear in mind the
difference in the consequences of a
mistake one way or the other. IF If
was mistake to stop the train, that
is If the conjecture of the engineer was
correct as it happened to be, and a
gang OF train robbers was in waiting
then the worst that could happen would
be the loss of certain amount of
property. Except in rare instances
there are no lives lost in a holdup. But
III II was mistake to run by, that is If
the signal was genuine, made awk-
wardly or irregularly under pressure of
extreme danger, then the result would
be scores of dead people. murdered by
the engineers mistake.
This is the distinction that certainly
did not present itself to the mind Of
the man in the cab when he had tn
make his quick decision, or he wouId
not have dared to do what he did. This

mark of wonderful presence of mind.
a proof also of foolhardiness. IT is a
right rule of common action where one
course would endanger property only
and another would endanger life. to
choose the former. That is what this
engineer did not do, and few railroad
men would approve his choice. how
ever successful the event. He proved
hlmself lucky rather than wise.

THE QUEST OF THE GOLDEN
GIRL.

If the American flag followed the
American bride there would probably
be no limit to the conauests made by
the United States. The latest country
to seek for an alliance with one of
the fair and richly endowed daughters
of Uncle Sam is the kingdom of Sa-
makaka on the banks of the Congo.
1t is the kings prime minister who de-
sires a bride and he has come in per-
son to this country to select the maid
en- who is to enjoy the honor of being
not only the only American girl but the
only white girl in the kingdom on the
Congo. Unlike the king, this prime
minister is not a savage. He is a
Frenchnan and his name is Maxim
Mendel. But he has so closely iden-
titled himself with the government of
this cannibal kingdom that he has no
interests apart from it.
The hand of the American girl has
been sought by many notable per-
sonages but never before, we think.
by a prime minister. Therefore, in
the modest advertisement which this
chief adviser of a cannibal king has
inserted in New York paper there
seems to be offered the opportunity Of
lifetime. To marry a man who has
the ear of king, even of a cannibal
king, would surely be triumph for
the most ambitious American girl. Of
course it is possible (cannibai kings

What the Editors Say

The central figure of the Louisiana
purchase was Thomas Jefferson, Yet
President Roosevelt paid no attention
to Jefferson in his speech at the deli-
catory ceremonies of the exposition.
Last week the anniversary of the ia
nous battle of Antietam was cele-
brated, and the president was the prin-
cipal speaker. Gen. Mcclellan COM
manded the Union army at the battle
or Ant1etam. 1t is conceded. even by
the historians who have criticised Nc
Clellan, that the Union victory rendered
Lees invasion fruitless, saved Mary
land and Pennsylvania, and was the di-
rect cause of the issuance of the eman-
c1pation proclamation, Lincoln having
said that he would issue the proclama-
ton If the Confederates were driven
out of Maryland. Yet President Roose-
welt, on the very battlefield where Nc
Clellan commanded, did not mention
the great soldiers name. This is
scarcely an evidence of broadminded-
ness. Yet the memory of Mcclellan.
In spite of the prejudiced historians
and politicians, in spite of the army
cabal which assailed the gallant gen
eral, is fresh and green in the hearts
of the privates who followed him. MANY
OF them shed tears when Mcclellan
left the command. He made mistakes.
Even a rough rider may do that. But

If Colombia asks for an extension of

has liberty of action. 1t would not ac-
