A certain town contained some
taxpayers who were dead set against
improvements. These people would
crv extravaganza when the streets
were cleaned, and economy when
thew were not. They preferred the
town pump, or the Old oaken bucket
to the luxury Of water works, kero-
sene to electricity, and the idea OF
paved streets and sewers could not
te thought of. They didn't object
to the water being knee deep every
time it rained, for they owned gum
boots, and gum boots were cheaper
than taxes. One day typhoid
struck the town and removed three
or four of the hitching posts; the
people realized something must be
done, so they turned out the post;
and put in progressive men to rur
the town. The town began tC
thrive, and in a little while was
able to take its place in the marci
of progress.

A man by deal, was once nomi-
mated for Congress. Before cleo
ton he was very enthusiastic as to
what he was going to do to unite a
shattered party. After he was cleo
ted. he didn't do thing but drive
wedges to spread the party farther
apart. Time wore on until an
other election day was in view, be-
ing anxious to be reelected he EN-
deavored to withdraw his wedges
but they would not come out. He
began to worry about losing two
more years at FIVE thousand pei
wear and the thought of the shekels
not coming his way, obscured hi:
eyesightand impairedhis judgment
Election day came, and after the
smoke of battle had cleared away
he found that he had not even pock
eted the six ball in the game o
politics. To retrieve his fortune
he tried coalition, was willing t.
be a monstrosity in politics to Sc
cure the per diem. He finally
drifted to that place where bacl

FORMAL WAR DECLARATION.

Porto of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 22. -
Official announcement Is made here
that Sir Courtenay Knollys, the acting
Governor, will issue today a special
royal gazette containing a declaration
OF war against Venezuela. This act is
one of Formally, taken with the inten'
ton TO legalize the proclamation OF
the blockade.
The Mirror, in an inspired article,
says: "All commercial intercourse be-
tween the two peoples Is interdicted.
When hostile vessels capture a neutral
the property on board Is not affected.
A free ship makes free goods. They
may capture the enemy's ships and
the enemy's property on board, but
they must spare neutral vessels and
all goods therein, whether belonging to
the enemy or TO the neutrals, and also
neutral goods found in the enemy's
vessels"
The proclamation will have the ef'
feet of legalizing the capture of Vene'
zuelan warships.
