a moments thought.

The P. NJ. whose name was FL Red
Jones, came Fastening to be told:
Friend and counsellor, 1 have long
wanted to do thee a turn to show my
love and affection, and the time has
finally arrived. You know what trou-
Bile we have had over the Thibetian
boundary dispute2"
Alas! it was long a vexed question,

.fWell, the Internal old dough head
Of Llama couldn't be satisfied to
leave things as we finally fixed 'em,
but he goes at it and makes Goose

we can't let go without fight. / want
you to start at midnight tonight and

dotard and a thief, and give him a

But Your Majesty cannot mean that
I am to go to Thibet alone and beard
the lion in his den." gasped the P. NJ,
as his knees wobbled-
But My Majesty does. You are one
of the best buffers I have around me,
Jones, and you can talk Goose Greek

Polly sweetly, and so 1 decided
that I wouldn't ask for the toque, even

Gen Miles Out for Parker.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: In an open letter. made public to-
night. General Nelson A. Miles indorses
the candidacy Of Alton B. Parker for Presi-
dent, and discusses Imperialism as the
paramount issue of the campaign. The let
ter is addressed to Finley Anderson OF
New York, a Union veteran of the civil
war, who had asked for an expression of
General Miles views, and, 1t is stated. Is
intended as a reply to numerous commu-
nfcations of the same tenor received from
comrades. After a general discussion or
the problems of expansion and imperialism,
General Miles, among other things, says:
.'It was recently proclaimed by the high
est official in the Philippine Islands that
the people of that country should not
contemplate free government, and the pr1n-
cipal reason given was that revolutions
had constantly occurred in the South Amer
lean republics. This appears to come with
bad grace, when the very man who ut
tired that statement had been engaged in a
revolution which had caused more blood
letting and wasted more American lives
than all the revolutions in the repub-
lies of South America in the last one hun
dred years.
toward the people of the Philippine Islands
that we have found so successful with the
people of Cuba, their gratitude would be
unbounded, 90 per cent of the American
people would be satisfied with the result,
and ours would be the glory Of establishing
the first republic in the orient where now
it's hundreds of millions of people are
watching with intense anxiety the action of
this great American republic"

of this city, for many years superior Of

Mission Priests of st. John the Evangelist,

the imposing ceremony was the presence
of the venerable bishop of that diocese,
Right Rev. George Franklin Seymour d. d..
Ii. D., who was himself consecrator of
his assistant.
Rt Rev. Williams, bishop coadjutor of
Nebraska, delivered the sermon. He dwelt
at length on the office and duties of a
bishop. incidentally, he referred to the
United States ''sect-ridden country
and to Boston as city ''of fads and nu-
merous cults" The Episcopal Church, he
said. had the apostolic ministry and its
sacraments were the ones which Christ
instituted. The church could not abandon
its principles if 1t were to be the center of
the unity of disintegrating denominations.
He expressed the hope that the church now
called Episcopal might be known as the
American Catholic Church.

Ascribed to Freemasons' Influence.

A cablegram from Rome last night says:
Pope Plus was up almost the whole of
last night waiting for kilograms from Mgr.
Montagnini, auditor of the papal nunciature
of Paris, about the discussion in the French
chamber of deputies. His holiness was not
surprised at the statement and speech of
Premier Combes, which were much as had
been expected, but he had not thought.
from private information he had received,
that the premiers majority in the chamber
would be so large as it was. The pope and
his encourage attribute the new success of
Premier Combes to the influence Of the
Freemasons, who, according to reports re-
ceiyed at the Vatican, are determined to
bring about the separation of church and
state in order to be freer to undertake
campaign with the object of destroying ali
religious feeling in France. When the news
was received the pontiff exclaimed. Gods
