ANY Old Excuse wouIdn't Do.

The late Henry G. Morse, President Of
the New York Shipbuilding Company, was
one day visited by a man of questionable
repute who wished to borrow money
wherewith to launch a questionable enter.
prise. MIR. Morse gave some polite excuse
for his unwillinguesS to lend, and the man
declared that he regarded this excuse an
somewhat fshy. Thereupon, smiling
grimly, Mr.. Morse said:
Let me tell you little story. Once
upon time an Arab went to his neighbor
and said:
LEND me your rope
II can't said the neighbor.
"'Why can't you?
"'Because | want to use the rope my.

"'What do you want to do with itf
the borrower persisted.
"T want to tie up five cubic feet Of
water with it, was the reply.
"'How en- Garth the other sneered,
can you tie up water with roper
MY FRIEND said the neighbor. Allah
is great. and he permits us to do strange
things with ro;.c when we don't want
to lend it.

The merchant-marine is something con-
corning which theories are many and the.
orists multitudinOus. Many Americans
have come to believe that we have no
mercantile marine worth speaking about,
whereas official figures show that we rank
second among the nations of the world in
this respect, being exceeded only by Great
Britain and her dependencies. The flag
OF Britain floats over nearly one-half the
merchant tonnage of the world, but We
come next, and after US Germany, Norway,
France and Italy, in tho order named.
That Norway, with her small trade and
only about 100000 Of population, should
surpass in the amount of her merchant
tonnage France with her great trade and
10000 600 inhabitants, or even Italy, with
her aggregate of imports and exports vast
as compared with the Scandinavian coun-
try, and with its 30-odd millions of inhab-
itants, is a truly remarkable fact and

An interesting story comes from the
Lake Champlain region to the effect that
at a conference of Republican leaders in
Congress it has been decided to name
Joseph w. BabcOck, Representative from
Wisconsin, Chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means, which would carry
with it the position OF majority leader on
the floor of the House Of Representatives.
There is less talk now of an extra ses-
sion of Congress in October watch
full observer has noted that as between
vote-getting among the people and legis-
latins in Washington, vote-getting al
ways has the first call Congress in ses-
sion next October would be about as lean
in attendance as during National Con-
vention, and efforts to keep quorum
would test the physical endurance Of the
party whips to the limit.
1t is stated that President Roosevelt and
Prosecuting Attorney Folk, of St Louis,
will soon have an interesting talk on the
subject of negotiating with other nations
extradition treaties like that recently con-
summated with Mexico, under the terms
of which the official bribe-taker and BRIDE
giver who flee from this country to es-
cape trial can be brought back home for
prosecution. At present Mexico is the
only country that does not afford safe
refuge for the CRATER and boodler from
the United States.

Horse meat is consumed in large guam
titles by the Belgians. Reports received
by the Department of Agriculture show
that large number of horses are annual
ly imported into Belgium for food pur-
poses. For the year 1902, of total of
1881 horses imported, 17,119 were
slaughtered for food. The importations
for ordinary use show a decided decrease,
while on the other hand horses for slaugh-
ter have increased, the majority coming

Tom Johnson, Of Ohio, Is bound to at
tract the lightning if multiplicity of rods
will do the business. His candidacy for
Senator to succeed Mark Hanna, for Gov
ernor and for the Presidency have all been
announced. There is nothing incompatible
in his worthy ambition to be the whole
thing. He probably wants to be elected
Governor, start the Legislature on the
right track on State issues, be elected by it
as Senator, and then be nominated by il
next Summer as Presidential candidate of
the united and harmonious Democracy.

ing Kansas City the stolen goods
were positively identified by DR..
Brummall, and Brockman was
taken to Salisbury Friday night
where he waived a preliminary
hearing before Justice Mason and
was brought to keytesville and
lodged in Jail, he having made
no effort to give bond.
Saturday about noon he was
arraigned before Judge j. p.
Butler at the November term of
circuit court, and on a plea Of
guilty to burglary and larceny
the defendant was sentenced to
the penitentiary for five years in
Just a little less than 36 hours
from the time he committed the
burglary.
BrOckman, Who is about %
years Of age, had lately secured
a run between st. Louis and
Kansas City over the Wabash
railway as a Pacific express mes
senger. He began work during
the recent strike, but had lately
joined the Express Messengers
union and had been employed
regularly by the Pacific Express
Co. He came up from st. Louis
to Salisbury Thursday night,
where he committed the burglary
which has landed him in the PEN
itentiary and has almost run his
parents frantic with grief.
A lot of keys were found on
young Brockman's person,
which indicated that he was pre-
pairing to take up burglary as a
business. But being. well
educated and having a fairly
good job his downfall is with
out excuse and shows the base
ness of his ingratitude to his
father and mother who had done
so much for him.

and a retired commission mer-
chant Of St. Louis who died at

he had boarded for many years,
was an uncle to Mrs. Franc.

By the terms of Mr.. Catlin 3
will Mrs. Mitchell is left the

similar bequest was made to Mrs.

acres of lar d, near Augusta.
The testator made Two other
bequests, one of $500 to a faith
full old servant and another of
the same amount to his father s
former hOusemaid.
While the COURIER sympathizes
with Mrs. Mitchell in the loss OF
her kinsman, we are glad &c
know that she is to SO liberally
share his fortune.
Rev. and Mrs. Mitchell went
to St. Louis Thursday night tc
attend Mr.. Catlin's obsequie;
and remained until Wednesday
of this week.
