Plain Covers and Iron Clasps.

Of all famous colonial preachers no oth- CT had the gift and style and the mas tery of words that distinguished Jona- than Edwards. The recent celebration Of the bicentennial of his birth has revealed to many of us that he was not merely a great clergyman. but the only notable American man of letters in the egh- teenth century besides Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine
 He must have said powerful things to his congregation which are not in his writings. Some of his utterances have come down to us.

CharIie's Geography.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 The young Enid hopeful is not so slow as this little incident reported by the Enid Eagle will prove. At school little Charlie. being one of the geography class, was deeply interested in learning the points of the compass. Said the teacher: You have in front of you the north, on the right the east, on the left the west. What have you behind you?" After a few moments reflection Charlie ex- claimed, "a patch on my pants" And to make the information more binding Charlie continued in shamefaced man ner: 'I knew you'd see it; told mama vo1i would"

Rediands. Cal. May s.-festcrday
President Roosevelt was formally well
coined to California before n crowd es-
iIma;cd at 10000. The Presidents Bpc-
cial left BaTs,ow at $50 n, m. and
arrived here at noon. on time to the
minute.
In front of the Hotel Casa Iona was
packed mass OF humanity that
stretched for two blocks east and west.
The enthusiasm displayed must have
reminded the guest in whose honor the
demonstration lad bccn planned that
California hospitality really was what
he had heard Il TO be.
On the corner opposite the balcony
from which the President spoke 1900
school children were seated on n
grandstand put up for the occasion. Az
the President approached each OF the
children waved n flag and their young
voices were often raised In cheers. They
also sang the national airs.
Just below the balcony were ranged
the Grand Army veterans. while near
by were Tcddys Terrors In their war
like uniforms.
Mayor Fowler introduced Governor
Pardee. who. In brief address. well
coined the President to California.
The great throng cheercd itself
hoarse when the President arose to de-
liver his address. II was several min
utes before he could proceed. He said
in part:
II am glad. indeed, to have the
chance to visit this wonderful and
beautiful state. but I didn't have to
come to know you or like you. for |

cases would be handed down as soon

were dismissed.
Attorneys for the towns accept the

Land Bill Passes Second Reading.

London. May THE Irish land bill
has passed its second reading in the
House OF Commons by ii3 votes to 26.
The adjourned debate on the bill
was resumed to-day. Timothy NJ.
Healey, Nationalist, commented on the
curious fact that the only two abso-
lutely ignorant speeches against the
bill came from the Liberal side of the
house"
Referring to the question whether
the bill would make for home rule, Mr..
Healey pointed out that the measure
was supported by the Ulster members,
who, he said, ought to know its effect
better than English amateur politi-
clans, however respectable"
Z. p. O'Connor, while criticising its
details. defended the bill. He said it
was no leap in the dark. Peasant pro-
prietorship in ireland had been most
successful. The evicted tenants must
be restored to their holdings. The
public. he adued. must now choose
between a great measure of land pur-
chase and chaos and anarchy"

Colombian Treaty In Danger.

Washington, May S.-President
Marroquin of Colombia has almost de-
cided not to call a special session OF
the Colombian Congress to act on the
canal treaty. In the election in prog
ress the opposition continues to gain
and the prospects for a government
majority are so doubtful that Presi-
dent Marroquin seems indisposed to
act.
The Colombian constitution con-
tains provision enlarging the powers
of the executive in case of disturbed
conditions. and If there Is the slight
est sign Of forcible opposition to the
government the President may arro-
gate to himself dictatorial power and
go to the length of ratifying the canal
treaty without assent of Congress. II
ne does so, the United States govern
ment will sustain the title thus ac-
quiTed.

Aboriqines of Japan.

Little is heard of the aborigines OF
Japan, at cne zine savage tribe, now
occupying the northern portion of the

Their mode of living Is wild, hunting
and fishing being their chief occupa-
tons. They live in rude huts contain

use, and the other reserved for the
entrance o. the gods. Women are a
scarcity in the tribe. there being eight
men to every woman, hence wife steal

apt to spend far too much of his time
