A ThoughtfuI Wife.

The wife of well-known playwright
added much to the enjoyment of a
banquet recently by her sharp and
witty tongue, always ready for a
home thrust, says an exchange.
The playwright was second on the
list of speakers. and was very nerv-
Gus. He determined that he would
plunge quickly into his speech when
called upon, and with this idea he
arose briskly when announced, and
started:
Ladies and Gentlemen feel hon
ored, I'm sure, by this request of the
chairman. But it is so unexpected
really had no time to prepare-a-I
really had no time to prepare-a---''
And he stopped. Every one felt
sorry for him, but his wife seemed in
no way disturbed. When she noticed
his predicament, she turned toward
him suddenly and called out
Why, Charley you did it perfectly
this morning"
Amid the burst of laughter that en-
sued the confused playwright resumed
his seat.

Boston People Are Particular.

Rev. Robert Collyer whose long and
successful ministerial career has been
passed chiefly in Chicago and New
York, finds the complete satisfaction
of Bostonians in their city a source of
amusement, says Success. He says he
once dreamed that he was in the vi
cinity of the pearly gates, and saw two
ladies approaching, seeking entrance.
Where are you from?' asked st.
Peter.
Were both from Boston," replied
one of the ladies.
We'll, you can come in" said st.
Peter. but you won't like it," A va
Ration of the same anecdote is the
story of a Boston woman who has
passed within the gates and was taxi
ing her first look around.
1T is very nice" he exclaimed-"very
nice, indeed. but'-this with a sigh
1T isn't Boston"

AFRAID OF THE ESTIMATES.

notwithstanding the fact that the
President in his letter of acceptance
said that the expenditures of the gov
eminent under Republican rule, es-
pecially since he became President,
were not extravagant, he is afraid, it
seems, to have the estimates for the
coming year made public. He has is
sued an order to the heads of depart
ments neither to discuss nor give out
any information regarding next years
estimates.
1t has been the practice heretofore
to give out the estimates as soon as
the departments had them ready for
transmission to Congress. That is
generally months before Congress
meets. Now the estimates are not to
be given to the public for fear they
might in some way hinder Mr.. Roose-
velt's election. As matter of fact
the Car hasn't much more power than
Mr.. Roosevelt undertakes to exercise
1t will be recalled that Judge Par
ker, when the editors called upon him
a few days ago, urged that the atten-
ton of the public be called to the ex-
travagance of the Republican admins
tratlons, especially that of Mr.. Roose-
welt. Soon after that some figures
were published showing that the ex-
penses of running the government un-
der Mr.. Roosevelt is many millions of
dollars more annually than it was I'M
der Mr.. Cleveland. The statement at
tracted the attention of the whole
country, and the people are now wax
ing up to the fact that the extrava-
gance of the Republicans is sufficient
TO alarm them. because they know
that excessive expenditures mean that
eventually there will be corruption in
the government, " there isn't already,
and a corrupt government means the
downfall Of the republic.
or course the Republicans make light
OF the charge that their party Is reck-
less In the spending OF the public
money They could hardly do otherwise.
They have no argument to justify such
expenditures. The President, however,
realizes that II the people awaken to
the fun meaning Of the vast aud un-
necessary expenditures that have TAX
en- place since he has been President.
his chances for being elected Will be
very much less than they are. Hence.
be has issued the order preventing them
from seeing the estimates Cor
che coming year though the inference
nom his letter ~ acceptance is that
Do haH nothing tO conceal from them.

Admiral Charles E. Clark, who took
the battleship Oregon around Cape
Horn and into action at Santiago, says
the Chicago Chronicle, is said to owe
his appointment as commander of that
boat to his skill as chess player.
Capt. Clark was at San Francisco in
command of the gunboat Bennington.
When ashore he spent much time in
the classroom of the Mechanics Lii
brary, where he met some of the best
players in the city. According to the
story, when the time came to appoint
a man to command the Oregon a friend
Of Clark's in the Navy Department at
Washington put his name forward
You should see the man play chess"
said he, and he went on to describe his
intense application and determination,
adding: And that's why 1 think he
can bring the battleship around safe
ly If anyone can" Three hours later
Clark received orders to assume COM
mand of the Oregon and take her at
once to Cuban waters.

NO PROsPECT or PEACE.

1t was the plan of the Japanese to
end the war at Lao Yang by captur-
ing the Russian army, or so COM
pletely breaking it up that it would
be of no further use. That plan fail
ed. The Russians escaped, notwith-
standing the efforts of Gen. Kuroki
to prevent them.
The Russians are now at Mukden and
the Japanese at Lao Yang, and the
indications are at present that they
will continue to occupy those positions
until arrangements for another cam
paign are perfected. If Marshal Oya-
ma had succeeded in his plans at Lao
Yang it is probable that the Russians
would have been willing to consider
terms of peace, but under existing con-
ditions it would be useless for any
one of the Powers to offer it's good
offices for the purpose of bringing
the war to close. Russia feels her
humiliation too keenly to consent to
peace, even upon terms that would.
under the circumstances, be regarded
as favorable to her. If she had been
victorious at Lao Yang it isn't improb-
able that she would have been glad
to begin negotiations looking to peace.
She could have done so without much
loss of prestige. Now. however. to
think of peace would be an admission
that she had been worsted by the
Japanese.
Both nations are now preparing for
.ts 20. 11a he seI.
has already taken place. Russia has
ordered her Baltic fleet to the scene
of the war and the mobilization of i
large part of her reserve forces. She
is determined to win, and is prepared
to make extraordinary sacrifices in or
der to do SO. Japan understands the
temper of her opponent and doesn't
underrate the magnitude of the con-
hict I'm which she is engaged. She is
confident of her ability to cope success
fully with her enemy, and the cam
paign that has just closed justifies the
belief that she will give a good ac-
count of herself in the next campaign.
1t is doubtful if the Powers feel it
would be for the best interests of all
concerned TO put a stop TO the war at
its present stage II they could. Japan
would be so elated that she might not
make the wisest use of the new respon-
sibilities which would devolve upon
her and the greater power she would
possess. Another campaign, even il
she were successful. would likely weak
en- her so that she would be inclined
to a conservative policy in dealing
with the new situation with which she
would be confronted. The Powers
therefore will not attempt TO interfere
in behalf OF peace yet awhile.

THE GOOD NE1GHBoR.

A friend asks us to define the "good
neighbor." We should first have to an
alyze the makeup of the man who
wants good neighbors, for our expert
ence is that a man gets just about the
sort of neighbors he deserves to have.
But, passing this phase of the matter,
we should say that the good neighbor
is governed i'll his neighborly inter
course by the Golden Rule and is I'M
selfish enough to cheerfully and freely
recognize the rights of others. He will
be prudent withal and, making due al
lowance for the weakness Of human
nature, will insist on good line fences,
short settlements ON business deals and
all business done upon a strict bust
ness basis. These things lay the broad
foundation for pleasant neighborly in
tercourse. He will be accommodating
in such matters as changing work, the
lending of farm tools except grain
sacks), will be sympathetic and help
full in times of trouble and sickness
and, finding out any fact of interest
and profit to himself in his farm work,
will be prompt to give his neighbor
the benefit of it also. He will be ready
to weave into his daily neighborly in
tercourse all those little courtesies and
| favors which cost so little and which
count for so much in making and hold
ing friends. Two men of wholly differ
ent political and religious belief. of
widely separated intellectual ability,
OF different nationality and customs,
one rich and the other poor may still
be the best Of neighbors and friends
when the foregoing conditions Of
ueighborly intercourse are observed.

A LOST UNDERSTANDINGS.

The tendency of the times is toward
concentration of effort and the division
and specializing Of all forms of labor.
More people are learning how to do
one thing only than ever before.
The system applies not only to the
city, but the farms as well. The meat
supplies for the farm are shipped to
the city packing house on the hoof and
bought back of the local dealer by the
man who produced the meat for his
own use, this because he has never
learned how to kill and cure his own
meats. This is always d losing game.
The butter is now all made at the
creamery, which is a good thing. espe-
cially for the women on the farm. All
the clothing for the men and boys and
to quite an extent for the women is
bought ready made. Soap making Is
a lost art, and the pickles, preserves
and table delicacies which in times
past were the pride Of the housekeep-
er have been largely supplanted by
store goods Of doubtful quality. If a
harness needs repair and a machine
needs fixing, straight they go to the
harness maker and the machine shop.
Not one man in ten could fix them at
home. We think that in this changed
condition has come distinct loss, man
being more helpless and far less indie.

rHG VALUE OF nouGuAeE.

A friend asks what is the value of
the feed other than grain which goes
to the making of a hundredweight of
meat on our western farms, the pas
ture, the hay the fodder, tie general
roughage picked up by the animal
Willie in Il growing condition-fn 9th
err words, what are the byproducts of
the farm really worth? This is not an
easy question to answer, so much de-
ponds upon the animal and the man
ner in which it is cared for. Right here
we will say that the grass products OF
the farm, which term shall here be
used to include pasture, hay, forage OF
all kinds, such as stalks, rape, clover,
alfalfa. straw, ETC., are not utilized to
the extent they should be in the pro-
duction of our meats They are the
cheapest foods produced on the farm
and under better methods of utilizing
them by the silo, summer soiling and
alternating and successive crops of
green food are capable of greatly low
eriug the first cost of all meat and
dairy products. Too much of the things
SOlu from the Farms are lnade lfoHl the
high priced grains. The first hundred
pounds of every hog sold should be
wholly Il grass-a clover, blue grass, al
falfa or product, and half of the
next hundred pounds should be Also in
stead of which we find it general Gus
tome to stuff the pig with corn from the
time he is two months old until he is
ready for the butcher, when the other
method would insure healthier hog
and make cheaper and better meat. AS
things go on the stock farms today it
is not far wrong to assume, for that is
all that can be done anyway, that the
grass products of the farm should be
credited with about one-half of the
value of all meat produced.
