RSONAL.

The Austrian Emperor the other
day gave a golden chain to a widow
at Braunau whose twelve musical
sons, after serving in the army, have
formed military family band.
Several members of Congress smoke
pipes, but only one has nerve enough
to do so in public. The exception is
Senator William j. Stone of Missouri
who rode down Pennsylvania avenue
on a trolley car the other day smoking
a short, black brier, and evidently get
ting great deal of comfort out of his
pipe.
Speaker Cannon and Congressman
De Almond have been in the House to-
gether for dozen years, one a Repub-
lican and the other a Democratic lead
er. They have stored each other in
speeches and have'Cflung parliamentary
taunts at each other, but no one ever
thought to introduce them and they
never introduced themselves. The other
day John Sharp Williams brought them
together formally and the. two shook
hands for the first time. The Speaker
had appointed Mr.. De Almond on the
Committee on Rules, and Mr., Williams
thought 1t was about time the two
should be on speaking terms.

The City sportesman.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
He purchased a dog and a hunting
suit, brand new gun and lot
of shells:
He wrote for terms to a farmer
friend, enlisting a trusty guide,
And the day the hunting season began
he hustled away, a happy man,
Loaded down with sportsman things,
none of which he had tried
And there he found,
Upon the ground
Others, like him. full of hope and
pride.
They took the field like an army corps.
marching through stubble and
brush.
The guide was brave, though he
faced their guns, and promised
that he would stay;
But each man knew the danger that
lies in wait for a man who closes
his eyes
When he shoots. so they kept theirs
to the fray:
- And then at last,
AS the morning passed,
A quail rose up and whirred away.
Each gun went up and the guide drop
ped; the dogs stood still in their
tracks:
The triggers were pulled and the
guns reports resembled can
mons roar. ...
The poor little quail turned a sorer-
sault-,twas shot clear through
to heavens blue vault
And they gathered around to jollify
at their glorious gunshot score.
- Though none could tell
Whose shotted shell
Had spilled the little gowls gore D
And that was the only bird they saw:
but, nevertheless, to-day
They have him stuffed and placed in
a case in a club not far away.
And they point with pride of this pat
ent fact-they hunted with so
much care
They shot neither guide nor friend nor
dog-and that is a record rare!

CURRENT COMMENT,

Discussing 1.-The Crusade Against
Peonage," the Chicago Record Herald
(Ind.) says: 1T is manifest that there
is an effective public sentiment in the
South that will protect the negro from

cutions have been, certainly in the
most prominent cases, and so far as
we know in all. originated and carried
through by public officials exclusively
of Southern birth and Southern SYM
pathies. However insistent the South
may be as against the social preten-
sione of the negroes, and however much
injustice 1t may do while establishing
what 1t deems to be a vital principle.
there is much to show that in the end
it will give the negro a chance indus
trially."
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem) says: "A New York dispatch
quotes "a Republican leader in New
Jersey as saying that Roosevelt is NOT
popular in the state. The influential
men of his party are really afraid of
the man. They do not know but that
as soon as he finds he is elected for
four years he may commit some extra

unquestionably it is too we'll founded
Roosevelt has proved himself a most
dangerous President even under the
curb of his candidacy for second
term. What will he do, what NAV he
not do, should reelection give him a
free rein?"
The New York Evening Post Qnd J
says: The Hanna boom is killed
again this morning-only to revive to-
morrow. The senator continues to
rage against the enthusiasts who hail
him as the noblest Roman of them
an and yet he allows these destroyers
of his peace to live. His friends run
hither and thither about the country
whispering, Perhaps, after all, Hanna
is the man. Last week they were in
Virginia, this week they are in New
York. and next they may appear in
Chicago. AS for Mr.. Roosevelt. he is
familiar enough with the Bible to know
that the perfection of the saints was
won through trials of patience: and
doubtless he accepts this frantic cheer
ing for Mr.. Hanna as a means of spir-
itual discipline. The Ohio senator, on
the other hand. may be equally
philosophic. He recalls the case of
that Roman Emperor who commanded
a faithful slave to check him in mo-
ments of exultation by Memento
morir and perhaps-for the good of his
country-he is not unwilling to play
the part of monitor to his Chief"

There Were Enough Inside.

In England the Lord Chancellor. by
virtue of his office, has a right to in
spect all public asylums and hospitals,
says Success. One day while the late
Lord Herschell was paying a visit at
the house of a friend near Norwich he
went for an afternoon stroll, and. ham
pening to pass by the great insane
asylum at that place, the thought
struck him that this was a good time
to perform an official duty. Inciden-
tally, it NAV be said that Herschell
bore the reputation of being somewhat
pompous at times. He knocked at the
door, which, after a long delay. was
opened by the attendant.
You can't come in" he was inform

A story of COghIan.

An anecdote of Admiral Coghlan
was told in a Senate Committee room
Saturday, apropos of present day
events on the Isthmus of Panama,
where that naval officer is now sta
toned as second in command, says the
Washington Post. 1t was quite a
number of years ago, when Coghlan
was returning north from South
America. He had stopped at Pernam-
buco, on the Brazilian coast, awaiting
the sailing of the ship.
The future admiral went over to a
private warehouse to chat with some
friends, and seated himself on the head
of big barrel. closed only by a board
upon it's top. An amiable sort of fell
low, whose business was buying trop-
ical animals for circuses in the states,
entered and inquired for boa constric-
tors The negro porter was sent to
locate the receptacle in which the
boas were stored. He hunted high and
low till he bethOught himself of the
barrel where Coghlan was sitting and
there they were, two of them. Coghlan
nearly jumped to the ceiling at the
discovery.
The good ship sailed in due season.
To while away the long hours of the
passage a poker game was soon in pro-
gress in the cabin. The admiral new
er was a devotee of poker, but all
though a greenhorn at it, was pressed
to take a hand to make out a suff1-
cient number. The owner of the two
boa constructors which had given him
such a shock was likewise a passen-
ger on the same boat, and was sitting
in the game.
Finally, in a goodly jackpot, the
snake man went in with a four-card
flush of clubs. Coghlan had three
nines-hearts, diamonds and spades.
The two put their hands upon the Ia
BILE, the faces of the cards up. The
snake man drew first. His card, which
remained concealed, of course, was the
ten of clubs. Coghlan held slider"
because "he didn't know any better"
as the story was told. His card was
the nine of clubs.
Before the betting stopped all the
snake mans money and his profits on
the boa constructors were mortgaged
to the naval officer just now helping
to conserve the interests of the United
States on the fsthmuS.

THANK SEWING DAY.

Among all of our various holidays,
this is the only one that combines
church and state. 1t was instituted as
| a religious feast by the handful Of
white men who landed on the inhospi-
table shores of New England and set
up a government under which one
| might worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience with
out hindrance from the civil authori-
ties. The settlement in the new world
marked the beginning of great nation
! in which church and state were to be
| permanently separated; nevertheless
! the forefathers We're so firmly ground
| ed in their religion that it was NOT
| possible for them to accomplish the di-
vorcement immediately hence the
strong religious undertone of the gov
eminent which they set up. With the
! lapse of years there has come the COM
plete separation of religion and poll
tics, in all matters save Thanksgiving
Day alone. But, in anticipation of the
annual day of thanks to Divine Prov
idence, the civil authorities assume
church functions and call the people
to worship by proclamation, and the
churches accept and obey the call as
if it were issued upon ecclesiastical
instead of civil authority. The Presi-
dent OF the United States takes the
lead in urging the populace to reli-
gious observances and grateful ac-
L vTofJ 20 rapaiuad
and Governors and Mayors follow with
their proclamations setting apart the
day of thanksgiving and prayer.
1t is to be admitted, however, that
the character of the observance has
greatly changed since the day was in
stituted by the Pilgrims. Then it was
an occasion of austere ceremony, de-
spite the good dinner that punctuated
it; now it is in the main an occasion
of frolics and sports. Religious serv-
ices are held, to be sure, but the foot
ball games are far better attended, and
the dog and the gun are more in de-
mand than the prayer book and the
psalter.
Nevertheless it is pleasant to remark
that there is still much of the spirit
of Thanksgiving remaining. 1t is a
day of good cheer, good fellowship and
good feeling. More smiles than frowns
are to be seen, and more of friendly
greeting than mere salutation. Like
Christmas, the occasion has a soften
ing influence. The human family is
drawn closer together and it's mem
bers feel more kindly towards each
other, at least for the time; which is
a highly desirable consideration. The
poor are remembered, and the thoughts
of all are turned to a greater or less
degree to the reason for the holiday
and the Master who controls the uni
verse and dispenses his bounties. That
there is much to call forth our ex-
pressions of gratitude will not be de-
MED. In nation and state and COM
munity we have prospered, and as in
dividuals each of us can find something
for which to sincerely thank God.

THE HANNA BooM IN NEW YORK

The efforts made to find out the rea-
son for the conference between the
President and a number of the leaders
of the Republican party in New York
on Monday night appears to have
been unsuccessful. Gov. Odell would
say nothing except that he was invited
to Washington by the President. At
the conference, which took place at
the White House, there were present,
besides the President, Senator Plat
Gov. Odell and Mr.. Dunn, chairman
of the Republican Executive Commit
tee of New York.
One of the reports was that the
President had become alarmed by the
rumor that Senator Hanna was trying
to arrange to control the New York
delegation to the Republican National
Convention, and that a Republican
presidential ticket had been proposed
consisting of Senator Hanna for Pres
ident and Gov. Odell for Vice Presi-
dent
Another story was that the New
York leaders were called to Washing
ton in order to settle differences be-
tween them which promised to divide
the party in that state into two hostile
camps. 1t is probable that there was
some truth in both reports.
1t is known that Gov. Odell hasn't
been pleased with the policy the Pres
ident has been pursuing in New York
in the matter of federal appointments
for that state. Senator Plat has
been controlling about all of them. 1t
is not improbable therefore that Gov.
Odell encouraged the report that he
had formed an alliance with Senator
Hanna, and had agreed to do what
he could to get a delegation from
New York to the Republican Conven-
ton that would favor a presidential
ticket composed of Hanna and Odell.
| At the same time he may have had no
intention of following a course Of that
kind, but simply intended to alarm the
| President and make him see the i'm
| portance of dividing the federal pa
tronage between the Governor and the
Senator.
1t is we'll known, of course, that
there is pretty strong opposition
among leading Republicans of New
| York to the nomination of Mr.. Roose-
welt for President. The moneyed in
terests are afraid of him, and if 1t
were not for the politicians these in
terests would doubtless prevent his
nomination. The politicians, however.
while not enthusiastic in respect to
the President have come to the con-
clusion that he is the strongest man
the Republicans can nominate.
Although Senator Hanna says he
isn't a candidate for the presidential
nomination he is undoubtedly causing
the President a great deal of uneasi-
| ness.

ANNExATION OF CANADA.

In his speech on Monday, in opposi-
tion to the Newlands resolution in
viting Cuba to become a part of the
United States, Senator Hale of Maine
said: Il have little doubt that men
now listening to me will see the time
when Canada will become an integral
part of the United States. If his plan
is carried out by the most adventur-
Gus of British politicians, of colonial
preference, a tariff war will be inau-
gurated between Great Britain and
the United States, and this English
politician win seek to set Canada up
as a great rival to us, an agricultural
rival. Out of that will arise condi-
tons, discussions and consideration
that will end in the union of the two
peoples"
1t is certainly not Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain's plan to bring about a state
of affairs that will cause Great Brit
tain to lose Canada, but there are some
very good reasons for Senator Hale's
prediction. The Senator, living close
to the border line, understands the
conditions which exist in Canada about
as well as any other public man in
this country. No doubt he has studied
them in connection with the tariff pro-
gramme which Mr.. Chamberlain is
endeavoring to persuade the English
people to adopt. He therefore made
the foregoing prediction after careful
elaboration.
There is no doubt that Canada is
becoming a great grain producing
country, and, in the near future, will
be a producer of meat on a large scale.
1t is worthy of notice, however, that
a very large proportion of those who
are settling on the new lands of Can
ada are Americans from the Western
states. They sold their farms at prof
liable prices and bought rich wheat
lands in Canada cheaplyr but, from
all accounts, they have not become
British in sentiment by becoming citi-
zens of Great Britain. Therefore, in
the event of the question of Canada's
annexation to the United States COM
ing to the front there will be a pow
erful element of the Canadian popula-
ton that will favor annexation in the
beginning of it's discussion.
1t does look as if it were impossible
for the United States to remain sta
tionary in the matter of territory Ever
since their independence they have
been growing bigger. It is only re-
Gently that they acquired Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and now they are
discussing the advisability of asking
Cuba to become one of their states and
the annexation of Canada with
in less than generation is
predicted. 1T may be that additions of
territory are necessary to their con-
tinued existence

DONDHOLDERS MAY
HnnNTuHU ~
CAUSE


There seems to be a little uneasiness
in administration circles because of
the failure of England and Holland to
recognize the new republic of Pan
anna. 1t is well understood of course,
why these countries have taken no ac-
ton in the matter, Notwithstanding the
promptness with which Germany and
France recognized the new nation. 1t
is that citizens of each hold large
amounts of Colombia's bonds, and the
secession of Panama lessons the
ability of Colombia to pay the bonds,
The amount of them is about $4,000
900.
The English and Dutch bondholders
have expressed the opinion that Pan
anna should assume a part of Colom-
bias debt. They have not designated
any particular sum which they think
Panama sould pay. but it seems they
are of the opinion that that question
should be left to an arbitrator.
Panama will receive $10,o0O,0O0
from the United States for canal con-
cessions, provided the treaty between
Panama and the United states is rat
flied by the Senate. 1t IS probable
that the bondholders would be willing
to accept third of the arnount which
Panama will receive.
But is Panama likely TO giVs up any
part of the money she will get for
canal concessions? 1t is doubtful If she
will. She sees no reason why she
should, and it is probable that the men
at the head of the new republic have
already formed plans for spending the
money.
1t is the understanding that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is of the opinion that
part of the $4,000, 900 ought to go to
the English and Dutch holders OF CO.
lombian bonds. If that understanding
is correct, there may be little COOL
ness between Panama and the United
States, because there is no doubt that
Panama will not give up a dollar of
the money she gets from the United
States unless pressure is brought to
bear upon her, and the United States
alone can bring the necessary pressure
to bear.
There does seem to be some justice
in this claim of the bondholders. The
secession of Panama lessons the abil-
ity of Colombia to pay her bonds. 1t is
/ probable that there wouldn't have
been a revolution in Panama If the
| United States hadn't encouraged it..
Hence there seems to be some obliga-
ton resting on the United States to
at least use their influence to get PAN
anna to turn over a portion of the $1O,-
100000 for the benefit of the English
and Dutch bondholders.

1t has been published that Yale's
profits from football this year amount

$4,000 last year. 1t is the under
standing. whether correct or not we
cannot say, that considerable part of
this sum will be divided among the
men who have played on the team. If
this is true, what is the difference be-

amateurism? The college men may
not contest for cash con-
sideration. but it seems they
