The stingiest man in the town OF
Granville had sent for John Briggs to
discuss matter of Importance, says
the Youths Companion. When Mr.
Briggs entered the room it was light
ed by one dim candle only.
IT'S a bright, starlight night" said
his host, land we don't need the candle
to talk by Whereupon he blew it
out as soon as his guest had found a
seat.
The room was pitch dark and the
conversation was long. When it was
over, the host lighted the candle again
to show his visitor out.
We'll, well, sir, this Is a strange
sight" he clustered, for Mr. Briggs
was minus coat, waistcoat collar and
necktie.
I'll put them on now you've lighted
the candle" said Mr.. Briggs, calmly
Il thought 1 might just as well save
the wear on them as long as nobody

Limit of Patriotism.

Bismarck on one occasion told the
following incident which occurred
when he was dining with Emperor
William, says the London Times: Il
had some champagne in my glass, the
taste of which made me suspicious.
When the butler again passed the Ia
BILE 1 tried to get a look at the label
on the bottle, but this was impossible,
for a napkin was wrapped around it.
/ then turned to the Emperor to in
quire the name of the particular brand,
when his majesty blurted out that it
was indeed German champagne
Deutscher Schaumwein. Yes, the
Emperor said, II drink it from mo-
tives of economy, as 1 have strongly
recommended it to my officers for the
same reason. Then, again, l also drink
it from patriotic motives Thereupon
l said to the Emperor: With me, your
majesty patriotism stops short of the
region of my stomach

NOT IN THE DIRECTION OF HAIR
MONY.

MONH.
Some of the speeches delivered at
Jeffersonian banquets in New York
state last Monday night were not cal
culated TO bring the two wings of
the Democratic party closer together.
In a speech delivered at the banquet
of the New York editors at Albany
ex-senator Hill is reported to have
made covert attack on Mr.. Bryan
by declaring that this was not the
time for the exploitation of petty
jealousies." All though his speech. If
he was reported correctly, there was
a marked disposition to antagonize Mr..
Bryan. AS the speech was made be-
fore the Democratic editors of the
state, it is a fair inference that his
purpose was to influence them to take
a position against anything that look
ed like Organism.
There is no shrewder politician than
Mr.. Hill, and very few that are as
able. 1t is the impression that at
this banquet he made a bid for the
presidential nomination of his party.
OF course, it was cleverly yelled, but
it was recognized and has been the
subject of a great deal of comment.
Mr. Hill may succeed in accomplish
ing his object, but just at present
there are no signs that there viii be
an overwhelming sentiment in favor of
his nomination when the nominating
convention assemblies.
At another banquet on the same
night, Hon. Frank Campbell, the chair
man of the Democratic State Commit
tee, charged in a speech that the state
was lost to the Democrats last fall
through the Indifference of Mr.. Bryan.
1t seems, according to the story which
he told, a messenger was sent to Mr..
Bryan at Lincoln, Neb., to urge him to
use his influence with his followers in
New York state in behalf of the
straight Democratic ticket. 1t seem
that the State Committee was informed
that many of the followers of Mr..
Bryan were going to vote tickets other
than the straight Democratic ticket
and, as the committee believed that
every Democratic vote would be need
ed to elect the ticket, it sent the mes
senger to Mr.. Bryan, and he refused
to accede to its request.
According to Chairman Campbell the
ground of his refusal was that he did
not approve the Democratic platform.
Bird S. Coler was the Democratic
candidate for Governor and he made
very strong run, but it is doubtful
if Mr.. Bryan had responded favorably
to the request of the State Committee
the Democratic ticket would have been
elected OF course, it is not known
how many Democrats voted against
the ticket of their party on account of
the platform, or for other reasons, but
there is no satisfactory evidence that
the number was sufficient to have
turned Democratic defeat into Demo-
cratic victory.
But the point to which we desire to
call attention is this: By bringing
up such matters and spreading them
over the country the chances for
harmony in the Democratic party are
not increased. The Democrats, in or
der to have any chance for success in
the presidential campaign next year,
must get together. The spectacle of
Democratic leaders fighting among
themselves is not one calculated to
inspire enthusiasm in the ranks of the
Democratic party.

There are thousands of fiction read
ers in all parts of the country who
viii! regret to learn that the Ledger
Monthly, formerly the New York Led
ger, has suspended publication be-
cause of financial embarrassment. The
New York Ledger. under the manage
ment of Robert Bonner, became the
most popular of family story papers
and made its owner a millionaire. From
a literary point of view its fiction may
not have been of a very high standard.
Indeed, in its old and palmy days it
was very suggestive of 1.-The Cham
bermaid's Own" made famous by Mil
ton Mobiles in 1.-THE Phenix." Still the
fact remains that it met a popular
want and was in very great demand.
Following the death of Robert Bonner
his sons took the paper into higher
literary class, ran it a while and then
sold it, and it has now suspended.
Had it continued in its field of serv-
ing thrills to the emotional, it might
still be earning hundreds of thousands
a year.

1t appears that the relief work in
Martinique has been completed and
that the committee in charge of the
disbursement of it has left in hand
quite half of the appropriation of $500,
600 that was made by Congress. 1t
will be recalled that at the time of
the disaster President Roosevelt sent
a special message to Congress urging
an appropriation of $4,000 for the re-
lief of the sufferers. Congress, how
ever, scaled the figure by three-fifths,
and yet appropriated twice as much as
was needed. All of which seems to
indicate that Col. Roosevelt's enthu-
siasm and compassion sometimes make
him a poor judge of actual conditions.

The "flatiron building" at the cor
ner of Broadway and Twenty-third
streets, New York, is being held re-
sponsible for all sorts of strange freaks
of the wind at that crowded corner.
The ''fatiron," twenty stories high,
seems to condense the winds that blow
about it just as a nozzle condenses
and intensifes the stream that flows
from a fire-hose, with the consequence
that a forty-mile wind becomes a howl
ing hurricane at the Twenty third
street corner. BY way of illustration,
a few days ago when a forty-mile
wind was blowing, at the "fatiron"
corner window panes were smashed,
signs were blown down and people
were whisked about as if they were
straws. One woman, who weighed 210
pounds, was picked up bodily by the
force of the wind and carried twenty
seven feet. She sustained number
of bruises, but no bones were broken.
