FRAUDULENT BAN SANDWICH

The common ham sandwich of
commerce has been under suspicion
ever since the first railway lunch
counter was established. The con-
victIon that this peregrenating hand
out is fraud has been quite general
for years. Occasionally some one ut
ters feeble protest when he gets a
couple of large porous buns glued to-
gether with oleomargarine, but
which are entirely innocent of ham.
He pipes his timorous plant, only to
be crushed by the imperious autOcrat
of the lunch counter, and he socn
finds himself meekly muching two
dry and doughty hemispheres of the
vintage Of rs.
But the harmless nomadic sand
witch is not going to have such easy
sailing always. The man who eats
ham sandwiches is growing holder.
He is evincing a tendency to insist
that when he pays for ham sand
which. and when the ham sandwich
Is not forth coming he is apt to en-
phasiZe his vOclferOuS protestatiOns
by making what is popularity known
as trough house" This is what
James McGowan did with a lunch
wagon on the west SIDE on sunday
morning. James is a farmer and
prIdes himself on being something of
an expert when 1T comes to ham
sandwiches. He contemporary re-
fused the sandwich that was offered
him, declaring that the bread in it
twas baked when Chicago was a
flag station" By way of emphasizing
his protest he smashed in all the
windows of the lunch wagon.
OF course, James had to go to jail
but this need not discourage him.
He has started a movement that will
gather force as it goes, and the time
may come when man who calls fOr
ham sandwich will be sure of getting
something besides stale mustard and
antedelIuvian bread.-Chicago Re

The most picturesque strike sorty OF
the year must be credited to Canada.
The fever caught the sanctuary boys
in one of the Roman Catholic churches
of Montreal, and so they organized.
At the beginning of a Sunday morn
ing service not long ago the boys pre-
sented an ultimatum to the vicar.
There they were in line, ready to
start for the sanctuary, but the lads
refused to bulge until the priest
agreed to a new scale of wages for
serving at the altar, at funerals and
on week days. The boys won

remain. much the same as in previous and succeed ing year.
 While history is silent as to any radical changes in tie climate of the earth geology procams loudly of their existence and effects. Far up in the most northern lattudcs the fossils of animals and shefh h and of plants that belonged to tropical climates are found. In Siberia and Alaska hairy elephants have been dug out from the ice. in which they had been preserved from decay for many thousands of ages In the clay beds of the Dakoas found in the greatest quantitea the fossil remains of prehistoric monsters that could only have lived in regions, while shells that undoubtedly are of tropical species are cntomhcd in the formations which once mud and silt, but now rock.
 Ths.sestimony of geology is that the vast from the Rocky mountains on the west to the Aleghanies on the east, was covered by the sea, and the probabilities that this connected the Gulf of Mexico with the Arctic ocean, while the Gulf Stream which now passes out through the Strait of Florida flowed northward, carrying the warm waters of the tropics 10 the pole But there came a time accord ing to the @pecuatons of the geoogists when an as tonishing change of climate occurred.
 The ice cap which now, according to all accepted theories the North Pole, spread southward til it covered Canada, New England and the north western parts of the United States and invaded New Y ork, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois The icehergs which hoocd on the once of the Mississipl valley, took down great rocks from the mountains of Greenland and Alaska, and with them enormous quantities of gravel and earth, and dropped them over a vast extent of country the ice mountains which transported them grounded and melted.
 Here geology leaves with no plausible, much les reasonable, explanation of these apparent facts We are left tobelieve that warm temperatures once reign ed in the northern reigons of the earth, and that in some way conditions were changed to the other ex- trcme, that Polar cold the rule in what is now the north temperate zone and that subsequently an other change took place by which the Arctic invasion was driven back towards the pole

THE WORSHIP OF WEALTH.

Wealth makes friends while worth sits in the background unhonoreJ and unnoticed and goes down to the~grave unsung. Wealth makes friends, but it does net matter that they are not the slmonpure article, but instead the veriest sycophants and hangers.on Wealth commands their admiration and they ready to grovel i the earth, il necessary Wealth takes a promenade. The newspapers oi the United States, and probably those of Europe a5 we'll in January last contained dispatches sent out by the Associated Press chronicling the death oi Mrs W. A. Clark, Jr., daUghter-in-law of the Montana senatoY anI multi ionaire. The news dispatches wego :l0t merely formal announcements of the death ol no doubt lovely young woman, but they were fairly "gushirg" with references to her worth grace and beauty Why? Principally because her father in-law is worth many millions of money. and in q ho-id, circus poster sort of way had promised to give one million dollars to the first grandson that should be born to any or daughter of the house of Clark There certainly nothing wrong in the millionaire senator giving one million dollars to grandson; he can afford tO make such triliing donation, and may tho voungscr live to reach mans estate and enjoy
 the muniicence of his rich grandfather. Bat through
 it all, ever including the unlmely death of young
 woman the tendency the part of the people of the United States to worship Mammon, simply because u represents wealth, is unmisahahe to he either pleasant or satisfactory. The possession of vast wealth does not add 10 the virtue worth of man or woman. Of course the world goes this statement is rank heresy, for wtlthecult of wealth worship pers toades, sycophants and reprobates, the poor but honest man should get off the earth. It has been our proud boast that America had no arisocracy but that of worth, but we can no longer lay claim to to such distinction. We have money aristocracy, many of whose members represent nothing but the dollars wrung from the people by Shylock oreiathers. Some of the wealthy men of the United States have achieved their wealth honestly and have spent it mod cstly but they few and far between. The time of the battle between the arisocracy of wealth and the plain people is coming apacc.

CHANGES IN CLIMATE.

The question az to whether the climate is chang 1ng interests many people and is often asked Som writers who have studied the question affirm that the summers are growing warmer while others declare that the winters growing much colder These aucstons according to article recently published, if narrowed down to the possible changes of climate in the northern hemis phcre, can be answered more intclligenty, because 1t is in the northern half of the earth alone that hisororecords for any long period of time exist. The entire history of India, China, B&bysonia, Assyria, Persia, Egypt, Greece and Rome enacted in the northern hemisphere history which goes back, aceerdingto the accepted records, about 5000 years and from these we should be able te learn something about any change which has talk
 en place in the climate.
 History, however, does Lot give any account of what could be called systematic change in the eli mate north of tl.e equator. From time to time there have been sunlmers of unusual heat, and winters of remarkable severity, but these have wrought no change in the character of the climate They were exceptions, if not accidents, and although are ig- norant of the causes of these exceptional ons, fid that tho ordinary routine of clima;ic condions

Late advices received from the outside indicate a stamp ede this spring to Ealcios and the Copper river country. None does not seem, therefore, to be the center of attraction this year. l hat is to say the crowd will surge iuto Nades and usual bitter dis appointment will be the lot of the great ma jnritv. Experience has taught that no real good can result from these periodical stampedes. The development of q section of country is not Accomplished by these means The people who stay with" a country are those who develop it and not the itinerant who rushes in and then rshes back. There is little doubt that the Copper river section is promising and that it offers excellent opportunities in several lines of human activity and it will be gradually developed.
