At a London dinner party recently
w. d. Howells, the novelist, praised
Mark Twain highly. He said:
like to praise Twain. praise him
often. He is a great humorist.
Once when he was a pilot on the Mis-
sissippi, Twain sat with a crowd of
men around wood stove in village
store. Presence of mind was being
discussed, and nearly everybody had a
story about presence of mind to relate
Twain said
Boys, through my presence of mind
once saved an old mans life. 1t hap
pened this way. l was reading in my
room, late at night, when I heard fire
bells. 1 strolled out to see where the
fire was, and soon 1 came to brick
house that was burning hard.
"An old man leaned half way out OF
a fourth story window, and the red
flames lit up his long white hair and
beard. Help! Help!' he hollered.
Help! Help!' And he waved his arms
around his head, making wild gestures.
Everybody in the crowd below seem
ed paralyzed. No ladder was long
enough to reach the old man. The
firemen said if he stayed up there he
would be burnt to death, and If he
jumped he would be crushed fiat.
but l. with my presence of mind,
came to his rescue. 1 rushed forward
and yelled for a rope. The rope was
brought to me. 1 threw the old man
the end. He caught it. / told him to
tie it around his waist. He did so, and
1 pulled him down."

Little Harold Fuddleston thumped
his finger with a hammer yesterday
says writer in the Brooklyn Eagle
1t hurt like sixty and he bawled like
sixty-seven and three-quarters. HIS
yooping attracted his mother, who
came arunnlng. Harold held up his
tiny finger and managed between his
screams to tell her he had hurried it
wiz re nasty ole hammer.
Mrs. Fuddleston took her darling on
her lap, Rugged him lovingly to her
breast and kissed the injured finger.
'There!" said she, with that moth
erly sympathy which Is the sweetest
and most soothing thing in all the
world. There. It's. all well now"
Harold had ceased to scream. He
was sobbing reminiscently on his
mothers breast.
l, too, had been attracted by his
screams and had reached the scene
simultaneously with Mrs. Fuddleston.
The offending hammer lay at my
feet. l hauled back and gave it a VIC
ious kick.
Mean old old thing" 1 said.
Harold looked UP at me with an eX-
preston of profound gratitude in his
big, round eyes. Then he slid down
from his mothers lap and ran off to
play at something else.
Oh, no, there's nothing wonderful
about the story; but it set me to think
ing that, in view of the success
achieved by Christian Science. perhaps
Mrs. Fuddleston and I could pool our
two varieties of sympathetic express
sion and organize religion which
would in time jolly the whole wide
world out of all its pains and troubles

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Mobile Register (Dem.) says
"We have not commented upon the Re-
publican plank threatening a reduction
of the Souths representation, because
it is not worth the paper it is written
upon. The time for that sort of bluff
fling has gone by"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says.
1.-THE Bryan policy at st. Louis will
be first cajolery, secondly menace and
thirdly compromise. If he cannot de-
feat Judge Parker in one way he will
attempt to defeat him in another. 1t
should be remembered, however. that
Bryan amounts to nothing except as he
has the Democratic organization be-
hind him. The power that made him
can unmake him. The creature is not
greater than the creator
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says John Sharp Williams will sound
the keynote at the Democratic conven-
ton. The fact is, he has already
sounded it. His leadership of the mi
nority in the House last winter was both
strong and brilliant. and he marked
out for the party higher course than
that of mere denunciation of Republi-
can blunders. The entleman from
Mississippi is statesman and an ora
tor, and he VIII make speech that
will be worth reading"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: I'm order to defeat Mr..
Cleveland it is easy to believe that
the Republicans would have to depend
mainly upon three things-the third
term DOGGY. the dissensions within the
Democratic ranka and what might
prove to be-Idnd might not-the SUI
perior attractiveness of their candidate
among conservative people and indie
pendent voters. Their greatest re-
source IN this time of need would un-
doubtedly be the detection of the Bry-
antics and radicals from the Cleveland
ticket, and only a few thousands Of
these voters would be needed, probably.
10 prevent New York. Connecticut, In
diana and Illinois from being carried
by the Cleveland electors. II il the
certainty that Mr. Cleveland's nomi-
ma ton would keep the Democratic
party divided that makes another can
didacy by him hazardous. rather than
any special issue that the Republican
managers could concoct in an appeal
20 the country. To sum II up IN a
phrase. with Mr.. Cleveland nominal
ed. Mr.. Rooseyeits destiny would de-
pend upon Mr. Cleveland's Democratic
enemies"

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

From time to time we hear Of de-
mands on the part of certain women
for universal suffrage; for the ex-
tention to women of the right to vote
on equal terms with men. Among
other things it is contended that wom-
en- are subject to taxation without
representation. But is it not fact
that women exercise pretty nearly as
much influence on the government as
men, and that they do it without that
responsibility which would fall upon
them if they were voters? Are they
not, indeed the power behind the
throne" that pulls wires and arranges
deals of vast moment? OF course, few
of them go actively into politics, but
they indicate their preferences to their
husbands, fathers and brothers, who
are depended upon to do the work
necessary to bring about the results
desired.
Some days ago, FOR instance, it was
published in the Chicago papers that
the nomination of Mr.. G. s. Deneen
for Governor Of Illinois by the Repub-
lican convention had been brought
about by Mrs. Yates, wife of the pres
ent Governor. And now it is being
asserted with more or less positive
ness that the Republican nomination
for Vice President of the United States
will be dominated by a woman-Mrs.
Charles w. Fairbanks, wife of the Sen
ator from Indiana. 1t will be recall
ed that for some time there has been
a demand in the Republican party for
Senator Fairbanks to stand for the
vice presidential nomination. 1t Will
be recalled also that up to within a
week or ten days Senator Fairbanks
steadfastly declined to yield his con-
sent to any such proposition. But now
he has acquiesced in the wishes OF his
friends and has announced that he will
take the nomination if it is offered to
him.
This change in the Senator is alleg-
ed to be due to Mrs. Fairbanks, who
realizes that as wife of the Vice Pres
ident of the United States her social
position would be advanced beyond
of a United States senator. Mrs. Fair
banks is a talented lady who is prom
inent in club life. She is president of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. Holding that position, and be-
ing the wife of the man next in sue
.cession to the presidency of the Unit
ed States in the event of Republican
success next fall, she would stand very
high socially, with only the wife of
the President taking precedence of her.
There is a story from Indianapolis that,
being DESTROYS of pleasing his wife,
as all good husbands are, the Sena-
tor has yielded to the wishes of Mrs
Fairbanks, and let it be understood
that he is a candidate for the nomi-
nation; and a story from Washington
is that the lady is earnestly campaign
ing for it.
How much influence the wives of
our statesmen have upon the direc-
ton of public affairs cannot, of course,
be estimated, but it is a safe PROPOSE
ton that the scales are often turned
by the weight of woman's hand.

A lively-looking porter stood on the
rear of a Pullman car in the Pennsyl-
vania depot, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. A fussy and notwithstanding
man clambered up the steps. He
stopped on the platform, puffed for a
moment and then turned to the young
colored man in uniform and said:
"Porteri"

CouIdn't Get square.

Russell Sage, a few afternoons ago,
bought a paper of a newsboy on the
corner of the street near his home, pay
ing 1 cent for it, says the New York
Times. The aged financier walked a
few steps, looked at the paper and
was chagrined to find it of the day
before. He promptly retraced his steps,
handed the paper back to the boy. and
then held out his hand for the coin in
return, which the boy finally fished out
and gave back. Then Mr.. Sage walked
away.
Say, wasn't that the limit? ?" dis
gustedly remarked the newsy. Cant
bunko that old Teller, with all his
money, but he bunkoed me t'other day,
and 1 wanted to get square. Tell
youse how it was. The old man came
along, took pape often me, then dips
down in his pocket and fishes out a
coin. He opens me hand, puts the
coin in it, closes me. fingers over the
coin and gives me hand a pat. Well
say. l fought sure had dime err a
quarter. but when / opens me hand
dere's nothin' but a cent just the
price of the pape! Wasn't that a bun
ko game? An couldn't get square"

At the st. Louis Exposition there are
a number of persons from our depend
encies." They were brought to this
country and are being exhibited for
the further information of students of
ethnology, and the entertainment of
non-students who may be interested in
seeing what queer human creatures are
sheltered under the protecting folds of
the American flag. In the collection at
the exposition there are to be found a
number of Igorrotes, from the Philip
pine Islands. Their chief characterls-
ties according to the reports that have
been circulated about them, are that
they eat dog meat and wear so few
clothes that they appear practically in
that state when nature is POLITICALLY
said TO be most adorned.
But it is altogether likely that the
Igorrotes will be forced to desist from
dog feasts, and to don trousers, skirts
and the other habiliments of Western
civilization. Complaints have been
sent to the exposition management,
and to President Roosevelt as well,
alleging that the eating Of dog flesh is
repugnant to the Civilized" visitors to
the exposition, while the lack of clothes
on the Igorrotes has so shocked the
visitors as to bring deep, scarlet
bushes to their cheeks. The request,
therefore. is that these wards of the
nation be forced to forego their own
menus and manners and adopt those of
the people of the dominating country.
AS said above these Igorrotes were
brought to the fair for educational
that they should learn something of
American manners, while at the same
| time Americans would be afforded an
opportunity to learn something of their
manners But how are we going to
learn anything about how they do at
home If we do not permit them to fol-
| low their home customs while among
us? If they dote on dog, why should
| we force them to eat steer? If they
| prefer only veil of charity and in
| nocence for their bodies. why should
we force them to wear clothes in hot
weather? And If we require of them
an artificial code of department, how
are we going TO study the race as it is
in the islands of the Far East? The
Igorrote in trousers and blazer Is GER
tainly not the same creature as the
Igorrote i'm natures leather. Is 1t pos

The Washington Star has the re-
markable information that Mr.. Bryan
favors Richard Olney for President,
and will so declare himself in st. Louis.
We call this information remarkable
because if there is one person above
another who represents the Grover
Cleveland idea in politics, that person
is Richard Olney, who was Attorney
General in the last Cleveland cabinet.
The probabilities are that Mr.. Olneys
nomination would give Mr.. Cleveland
keenest pleasure. Because of the close
political and personal friendship of
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney, and be-
cause Mr.. Bryan hates Mr.. Cleveland
with an intense hatred. we are inclined
to the opinion that the Stars infor-
nation is incorrect.
