Noah was standing on his front stoop
looking at the waterseape. says the
Baltimore American.
He had been sounding as if he in
tended weighing anchor.
But Shem had misplaced the steel
yards.
So he kept right on sounding that
way while the boys sought the missing
article.
Suddenly the patriarch saw a head
bobbing about in the turbid tide.
Pity filled the heart of the veteran
navigator.
Making ready a rope he stood to
throw it as soon as the head might
draw near enough.
Skilfully throwing the moose he en-
circled the form that buffeted with the
waves.
AS the man was pulled in. hand over
hand, he blew the water out of his
mouth and, with a vapid grin, cried
out:

And Noah cut the rope.

PERSONAL.

The famous Ward McAllster
farm, near Newport, r. l., where Nc
Allister wrote the edition de luxe of
What I Know of Society,"" has been
rented to Morgan Barry, an Irish far
mer.
Col. Charles F. Humphrey, who told
the President of the United States
when he was colonel of the Rough Rid
ers to ''go to the DEVIL" or words to
that effect, will be appointed by the
President as quartermaster general of
the army upon the retirement of Maj
Gen. Ludington.
Secret service men are coming to
the conclusion that it is unlucky to
be appointed a guard to the President.
Frank H. Tyree, one of the men as
signed as President Roosevelt's body
guard, is seriously i'll and may not
recover. Tyree succeeded William
Craig, who was killed in the accident
at Pittsfield, Masss last September, in
which the President had a narrow es-
cape, and secret service men fear that
the position carries with it bad luck.
Craig had taken the place of George
Foster, who was with President Nc
Kinley when the latter was shot at
Buffalo.

Still Had His Nerve.

The engineer had been many years
in the service of the road, and it is q
well known fact in railroad circles that
their nerve, says the Brooklyn Eagle
They became too cautious, and as re-
suit they get their trains in late.
This engineer-and this is a true
story-had lost his nerve. He had a
passenger engine, and twice he had
been told that if he could not bring
his train in on time he would have
to begin hauling freight. That is a
pretty hard threat to throw at an en-
gineer, and he meekly promised to do
better.
On the occasion of the third warning
he asserted that he would bring the
train in on time even if there was a
brick house on the track and barn in
addition"
He came into the office after his
run" a day or so later, glanced about
the room. looked up at the ceiling, and
then asked:
Seen any of it?"
"Of what?" asked an official.
Coal" said the engineer
Coal" repeated the official. "Why
should we expect to see any coal
here?"
'Oh, 1 guess it hasn't come down
yet, answered the engineer carelessly.
What do you mean?" demanded the
official.
Some one left loaded coal car on
the main track" explained the engin-
eer. Switch turned too soon or a
coupling broke, I guess. Anyway, it
was there"
And you
"Oh, l got in on time. I'm not like a
man who has lost his nerve-not by a
good deal"
But the car! How did you get
around"
II didn't get around. / pulled her

about half a ton of that coal on the

pecting TO md the rest of Il here The

"Well?"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says: The Republican plat
form is going to pieces, plank by
plank. The statehood plank has been
split up into kindling wood The ship
subsidy plank has been used to start
a fire, while the antitrust plank was
hewn out of green timber, and so the
whole platform is lop-sided.'
The Memphis Morning News (Dem.)
says Perhaps Mr. Morgan objected
to being assessed on the ground that
he did not know whether watered
stocks were worth anything or not If
he could get the Fowler bill passed ne
might feel differently about it. Moth
ing could help out watered stocks
much more than making them a basis
of circulation"
The Albany IN. " Argus Dem.)
says: For whatever of disturbance
and failure of legislation, in the clos
ing hours of Congress, may occur, the
House Republicans must accept the
blame. In order to steal a Democratic
seat they employed a tyranny and ex-
hibited disregard of parliamentary
rights and usages which would make

DIR. CRUM's CASE.


When the Commerce Committee Of
the Senate reported adversely the
nomination of Dr. Crum, for the po'
sition of collector of customs al
Charleston. it was the very genera
impression that nothing more would
be heard Of the Crum case. It seems
however. that that was an incorrect
impression. We are told in our Wash
ington dispatches that if the Senate
does not act upon the committees re-
port the President will appoint DR.
Crum.
1t appears TO be the understanding
that the Senate does not want to vote
on the nomination for the reason that
it does not think it ought to be con-
irmed. but the Republican senators
haven't the courage of their convis-
lions. They are afraid of the black
vote in the Northern states, and there
fore if a vote is taken they will vote
for confirm3 ton.
It is clear that the reason the Presi-
dent has made up his mind TO appoint
DR.. Crum il his nomination is not con-
firmed, is that he too is playing pol
itics. He is not only afraid of the big
black vote in New York, New Jersey,
Illinois, Ohio and some other states,
but he is thinking about the Southern
delegates to the Republican Naticnal
Convention.
Just how the President feels about
the nomination of Dr. Crum we do not
from the letter he wrote to Mr.. Clark
Howell that he thinks it necessary to
defend his action in the matter. He
insists that he has been absolutely fair
in making appointments in the South
that he has been advised by Southern
men in making them. some of his adj
visers being Democrats. and he seems
to think that the attacks which have
been made upon him in connection
with the Crum nomination and the In
dianola postoffice case were inspired in
New York.
From this it would appear that the
President either thinks that there is a
faction of his party in that state that
is trying to prevent his nomination for
President or else he aims to make
friends in the South and stop the at
tacks upon him in this section by
having it appear that the attacks are
really inspired by enemies in his own
party-enemies probably that have the
support of the trusts.
1t may be true, as has been stated
that President Roosevelt hasn't ap-
pointed as many negroes to office in
the South as President Mckinley did,
but it is certain that in making them
he has managed to arouse a great dsal
more opposition than Mckinley did.
Besides, as we have pointed out more
than once, being, as he has often said,
half Southern, more was expected of
him in the way of protecting the South
against negro appointments than was
expected from other Republican Presi-
dents.
President Roosevelt may rest as
sured that, whatever enemies he may
have in his own party in New York,
the criticisms by the Southern people
of his Southern policy were not in
spired from New York. They express
ed genuine Southern sentiment.

The primary class in Sunday-school
was listening to a lesson on patience.
This. according to the Boston Herald,
was what came of it. at least in the
minds of the more literal-minded chill
dren:
The topic had been carefully ex-
explained, and, as an aid to under
standing. the teacher had given each
pupil a card bearing the picture Of a
boy fishing.
Even pleasure" said she, requires
the exercise of patience. See the boy
fishing! He must sit and wait and
wait. He must be patient"
Having treated the Subject very full
ly. she began with the simplest, most
practical question:
And now can any little boy tell me
what we need most when we go fish,
ing?" The answer was shouted with
one voice:
"Baiti"

THE EXTRA SESSION.

What does Senator Morgan hope to
gain by forcing an extra session of
the Senate? If he had any reason for
thinking he could defeat the Colon
bian treaty by his speech there would
be some excuse for what he is doing,
but he seems to have the Senate solid
ly against him. He cannot go on speak
ing against the treaty forever. There
is limit to his volumnosity as we'll
as to his endurance.
If he were making an argument that
promised to win senators to his way
of thinking in regard to the treaty
there could be no fault found with
him, but as far as we are able to learn
he is not saying anything that is like
ly to make a single vote against it.
AS a matter of fact the mind of the
Senate has been made up practically
ever since the treaty was submitted
to that body to ratify it. 1t will not
have an opportunity to ratify it. in all
probability, during the present Con-
gress but an extra session has been
called, and it will be ratified within the
next few days, unless some objection
to it. that is not now seen, is brought
| forward.
The truth of the matter is that SEN
ator Morgan has his heart set on the
| Nicaragua route. He has convinced
himself that if an attempt is made to
| construct the canal on the Panama
route it will be failure. But he ought
to be satified with stating his posi-
ton. He is not justified in opposing
the ratification of the treaty. which
means the building of the canal on the
Panama route. to the extent of forcing
an extra session, especially as he is
practically alone in his opposition to
the treaty and cannot defeat the rati-
| fication of it by speaking against it.
The best engineers in the world,
those of this country and those of
| France, agree that the Panama route
is the best of the isthmian routes for
the canal. What Senator Morgans
reasons are for thinking otherwise the
world will probably never know, as it
will not take the trouble to read the
voluminous speech in which he is sup
| posed to state them.

1t will be interesting to watch the
course of Congress in respect to the
appeal of the President IN behalf Of
the Philippines. Do these sena tors and
representatives who have been so loud
in their' protestations against taking
down the flag where it has once been
raised. who have been insisting that
no injustice has been done the Fiji
pinos and that no cruelties we're prac-
ticed by our army upon the Filipinos
during the war in the islands intend 10
let the appeal pass unnoticed?
1t is beginning to be apparent that
the Philippines are a much greater
burden than those who have all along
insisted that the islands shall he re-
tanned as a permanent possession ever
thought they would. 1t has not been
so very long since leading Republican
congressman We're saying that the is
lands would be a source of a great
trade with this country, that they
would be the gateway of the Far East
and that in the course of a very lit
tie time they would repay this country
all the money it had spent or would
spend upon them.
AS a matter of fact the F'ilipinos are
in very sorry condition. Six years of
devastating war left them in an i'm
poverished condition. Then along came
the rinderpest and carried off so per
cent. of their working cattlG--the cat
tie with which they titled thar land.
On top of that misfortune the cholera
appeared and claimed 100000 or mere
victims. For two years there has been
a shortage in the rice crop-the output
not being more than one-third of the
usual yield.
Under the circumstances 1t is not to
be wondered at that The number of
ladrones-robbers-i the mountains
has greatly increased. and that there
is dissatisfaction throughout the is
lands. 1t is evident that this country
must do something to relieve the pre-
vailing distress and. to assist III bring
ing about a better condition of affairs.
Congress recently appropriated So
VuV,uVO W iltip the ptOplt VI lle IS
lands, but that amount will not do
much towards alleviating the prevail
ing misery. What is asked is that
there be much freer trade between the
United States and the islands. 1t does
seem as if there would be justice in
freer trade, in view of the fact that
we hold them as our territory.
The House has passed a bill provid-
ing for the admission of all Philippine
products to our markets at 25 per cent.
of the Dingley rates and the Senate
has passed a bill admitting the pro-
ducts of the islands free of duty. with
the exception of sugar and tobacco. On
these articles the duty is fixed at 80
per cent of the Dingley rates.
There is no probability, however.
that either measure will be adopted,
owing to the fact that practically all
legislation except the appropriation
bills is blocked in both the House and
the Senate. In fact the Republican
majority does not seem to have much
sympathy for the Filipinos. The trusts
are against lowering the tariff bars
for either the Cubans or the Filipinos.
The good will of the trusts is of far
greater Importance to the Republican
party than the prosperity of the Phil
