The Wedding Was Pulled on.

The gay, impressionistic way in
which the country editor may write up
the affairs of his constituents is il
Illustrated in the following from THE
Oskaloosa Independent:
al Mennif1eld and Mrs. Hodge-Page
We're married last Monday night
Judge Davis performed the ceremony .
through some misunderstanding, Mem
n1field was kicked out of the home by
Andy Hodge, son of the bride, earlier
in the evening, and went to his own
home out of humor and out of the
notion of marrying. The other boys.
however, went out and pacified him.
and gave him such assurances that he
came to town and went through the
ordeal. Andy exhibits new half
soles on his shoes, and says the old
ones were torn off when he kicked his
future pa, and declares that the lat
ter scared ten feet through the air.
Andy makes some dire threats yet,
but it is hoped he will be reconciled
and peace will reign"

Cause for ENCOURAGEMENT.

A Southern representative. who is
good natured and always tries to make
the best of everything, was discussing
the one-sided election last month with
a number of friends in the cloak room,
says the Charlotte Observer.
My friends" he said 1--WE have no
cause to be discouraged, for we have
something left yet. The Republicans
didn't quite take all, though they came
dangerously near doing so. am con-
soled by story l heard of a young
fellow down my way who got the Tex
as fever and went West several years
ago. He couldn't hold his own with
the cowboys, and after time he came
home-just how l can't stay. but he
managed to get on the outskirts of his
nome town, and he sent note to his
father, saying:
Dear Father: Please send me a
suit of clothes, a shirt and a pair of
shoes. 1 have a hat
Now friends, the opposition took all
except our head-gear-our name-and
we can cling to that

CARNEGIE HEROES.

Much interest has been aroused in
all parts of the country in the hero
fund established by Mr.. Andrew Car
negie. Heretofore, there has been some
doubt as to what would constitute a
Carnegie hero, but now there has been
made public a statement that tends
to elucidate the matter. No awards
will be made for some months, and
then only to those who have volun-
tarily and out of the line of their duties
risked their own lives to save Others
or have persisted in the effort to save
life. Each case is to be investigated
by the trustees of the hero fund. and
there is to be no haste in any case.
Some sixty cases are now before the
trustees in proper form, but it is not
in the least likely that all of them
will receive awards. 1t is strongly sus-
pected that some of them are fraudu-
lent, While others are trivial and still
others the work of cranks. All cases
must conform to the rules. The mere
saving of life will not entitle the
saver to Carnegie medal if the life
saving was incidental to the
regular routine of duty. Thus the men
of the Life Saving Service will not
be entitled to Carnegie medals if they
rescue shipwrecked crews as a part
Of their regular duties. Nor will the
young man who swims out and saves
the life of a woman floundering beyond
her 6Rnfh ha tod
unless it can be shown that he swan
into the very jaws of death, when If
was not his duty to do so, in order to
effect the rescue. In short, to be a
Carnegie hero. one must do an ex-
tremely brave act entirely outside the
line OF his duty and in utter disregard
Of the consequences to his own life.
1t is likely that the trustees of the
Carnegie hero fund will have to do
with more fakirs and frauds than with
heroes. Persons who perform reoI
acts OF heroism are not actuated bv
any desire for medal or a reward
The real hero is modest, and invaria bIv
refuses to be paraded before the world
MOST or all would he decline to be the
means of advertising Mr.. Andrew Car
negie's wealth and so-called public
spirit. Under the Carnegie hero scheme.
Carnegie gets the notoriety and the
hero gets bit of brass or gold herald
ing the iron-master's appreciation of a
brave act boldly accomplished. In
every instance 1t will be Mr.. Carnegie
in first place, and Mr.. Hero in second

Filling a Long Felt Want.

eff you've got a minute to listen tc
me-" said the caller, man in faded
black coat, according to the Chicago
Tribune, Il think I can interest you in
an idea for a new card game. It's an
improvement on these detective games
they're playing nowadays
1.-THE market is glutted with that
sort Of thing already" answered the
publisher.
But this is different. It's entirely
new. For the ground work of it al
most any kind of card game will do.
The scheme is to make the real win
nsr of the game the fellow that has
the fewest torn cards after its over.
Each one will try to tear all the 9TH
crs' cards. See?"
There's something in that" unused
the publisher. 1T will make business
livelier. But"
THAT isn't the real nub of it, though
1he feature I'm banking on is this:
The player that stops yelling a single
moment and gets caught at it, is ruled
out of the game
That's the ideal" exclaimed the pub
Usher, enthusiastically. That's all
right! There's a million dollars in
it. Sit down and let's come to terms. ."

to accommodate them. If our doors
should be left open to them they
would come here. in ever-increasing
numbers. and trouble would follow.
The native Iaborers would make war
upon them and the European immi-
grants would be hostile to them.
But that wouldn't be the main trou-
BILE. They cannot be assimilated any
more than the Chinese can. They
would form colonies of their own. and
very soon they would have interests
inimical to the white people. This
condition of affairs might not come
about in less than a score Of years.
Perhaps not in less than half a CEN
fury, but it would come.
1t is evident therefore that in dis
cussing the question as to whether or
not the Japanese shall be excluded,
the fact as to whether they are peace
able and industrious is not the only
one to be considered. There are other
matters, matters of the greatest i'm
portance to the welfare of the nation.

REPRESENTATION BY VOTES CAST

gress and the Electoral College have
heretofore been based on population
as provided in the original consti.

tain Republican politicians. notably
Representative Morrill, OF Pennsyl-
vania, who are endeavoring TO fly into
the face Of precedent and public opin-

representation on the basis, not OF nom

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post CDem.) says:
"The protestants against the seating
of Smoot of Utah as a member of the
United States Senate seem to have es-
tablished thus far that the apostle
took an oath Of loyalty to his church
and has kept it. and also that he
wears underclothes If these things
bar him from eligibility to a Senate
seht he would be cast out without
further ado. The Constitution must be
upheld"
The Houston Post (Dem.) says:
1.-THE South nominated Parker, and it
gave him a greater plurality this year
than II gave Bryan in 1900. II was
the Democracy Of the great North
that went 70 pieces. Apparently the
Northern Democracy is as unable to
rally 10 a conservative candidate and
platform as II was 10 a radical candi-

authorities and the police require of
the patriotic voters 100 or 1000 votes

is no negative reason. Under the bill

Before 1900 leading Episcopal church.
men in Chicago the other day, Bishop
Anderson invited attention to the
needs of the city in which they were
gathered for missionary work. He
pointed out that Chicago contained
1000 saloons; that last year showed
there were 1900 boy prisoners in the
various penal institutions; that IS per
cent. of the juvenile criminals of the
city had no religious teaching. at
is time," he said that the churches
and citizens of Chicago We're waking
out of their fancied security. Crime
is frightfully on the gain" He ex-
pressed the opinion that paganism
threatened the prevalence of Chris
tianity in the city. While all of this
may be true, it is probably just as
true that Chicago contributes more to
foreign missions than it does to the
wedding out of sin and shame and
suffering within it's own borders.

The Raleigh IN. c. News and OBJ
server contains an editorial under the
headline, Raise Hay and Bacon" But
why should our esteemed contemporary
trouble itself with respect to the ele-
walton of the Secretary of State and
the Senator from Georgia, when it
must know very we'll that there is no
possibility of further advancement for
either of them? Secretary Hay is not
politician in the ordinary sense of
the word. He probably couldn't con-
troll corporal's guard of delegates at
a national convention; and the chances
are that he wouldn't want to do it. And
Senator Bacon was born on the wrong
side of the Potomac river to hope to
achieve a higher position than that
which he now has. If it were posi-
BILE to raise Hay and Bacon we should
be only too pleased to give assent TO
the proposition. Meanwhile we are
ready to agree to the suggestion that
the farmers can do no better than give
especial attention to hay and bacon.
