McCracken, Kansas, Enterprise.

hood were rivals for the hand of a
pretty girl. One of them was poor
and handsome, and the other was a
slow witted fellow. with considerable
money. The capitalistic one con-
ceived the idea of buying off his rival.
He offered him S1oo to go away and
stay away six months. The poor
young man said he would consider
the matter. And he did, in company
with the girl. They agreed to take
the money of the young man, get
married and go away together. The
deal was completed. and the poor
young man got his money and start
ed for Denver. But he was joined
by the girl at the first station, where
he was married by a justice of the
peace. The rich young man consult
ed lawyer and was told that he had
no grounds for a suit: that the
young man had kept his agreement
by going away; that it wasn't stipu-
lated that he should go alone. And
the local paper of the town is laugh
ing at the thought Of that honeymoon

CLEVER CROOK.
Stole From Detective Who Was
Watching Him.

: shrewd detective from the CEN
tral Office, who is detailed to keep the
theatrical district free from pick
pockets and confidence men, was
stolling through the Waldorf-As-
toria the other afternoon when he
thought he recognized in a fashion,
ably dressed man notorious Chicago
crook.
The suspect was looking at the
steamship bullentin board. and in Or
der to get a line on his plans the
sleuth' scraped an acquaintance. Over
the bar the acquaintance ripened, but
the detective failed TO gain the in
formation he sought, and at dinner
hour he had discovered nothing.
Then he got bright idea. He con-
suited his pocketbook and found he
had q new, crisp $40 bill.
Come into the cafe and have a
bite he said, shifting the bank note
to his trousers pocket.
The suspect hesitated. softly OBJ
jected, then accepted. They sat at
opposite sides OF a table for two,
and during the meal the detective
used all his arts to fathom the plans
of the other. But it was OF no avail
and when the check for So came he
was as much in the dark as ever.
mo, no, I pay for this protested
the invited one, as the sleuth reached
for the check with one hand and ten
derby fingered the crisp bill in his
pocket with the other.
"But I asked you," protested the
detective
"a mere bagatelle," declared the
other. pulling new ten-dollar note
from his wallet and tossing it to the
waiter. "I'll dine with you tomor-
row."
The sleuth looked resigned and in
wardly chuckled, for, after all, he had
been thoroughly bafled and he could
hardly put the dinner in as expenses.
They parted at the door with prom
,ise to meet next day and the sleuth
went up Broadway. At Thirty-eighth
street he went into a drugstore for
cigar. He lighted one, reached into
his pocket and threw down a bill on
the counter. With an exclamation
he grabbed the note and held it up
excitedly. Instead of ten it was
crisp one dollar silver certificate.
Across the end was writted this:
Il wouldn't have kept the 81 change
"a mere bagatelle-but I needed it
for tips. Give my regards to the

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1904.

Reports from the far east would side of heavily manned fortresses are impossible to the little brown man be- hind the gun. Reports from the Rus sians time and time again indicate that hundreds of Russians are killed by small arms fire to tens of Japs. To the thoughtful American who is not above reading a lesson in the n1isfor- tune of others the unpreparedness of the Russians in the matter of small arms proficiency should be taken to heart If war with Japan were de clared by our country tomorrow we should hardly be in better shape for than the Russians seem to be. The mere handful of our regular army, in fantry and cavalry, in training to-day Cess than 10000 in alp and the com paratively small proportion of our Ma tional Guard, Judging from the reports of rife practice, hardly more than 4O,- 900 additional would form so incon- siderable part of volunteer army that we can hardly fiatter ourselves that we could make much better showing than the Russians do in fight ing the Japs. Naturally our military authorities no not parade their belief in our lack of defensive preparation, but there is nothing to indicate to ore familiar with our immense amount of periodical literature that our army off, cers appreciate in the faintest degree 1 the necessity of improvement in small arms practice particularly as regards the civilians who must make up 75 or 80 per cent of volunteer army in l case of war.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-09-30

The government of the United States was organized solely for the people of the United States, said Judge Parker in his speech of accept ance. While it was contemplated that this country should become a refuge for the oppressed of every land, who might be fit to discharge the duties of our citizenship, and while we have always sympathized with the people of every nation in their strug- gles for self government, the govern ment was not created for career of political or civilizing evangelization in foreign countries or among alien races. The most efficient work we can do in uplifting the people of other countries is by the presentation of a happy, prosperous, elf-governing na- ton as an ideal to be emulated, a model to be followed. The general occupation of our citizens in the arts of peace, or the absence of large military armaments, tends to impair neither patriotism nor physical cour- age, and for the truth of this refer the young men of to-day to the his l tory of the Civil war. For fifty years, with the exception of the war with Mexico, this country had been at peace, with a standing army most of the time of less than ten thousand men. He who thinks that the nation had grown effeminate during that pc riod should read the casualty rolls ot the armies on either side at Shiloh Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettys burg, at Stone River and Chickamau ga. I woud be the last man to pluck a single laurel from the crown of any one of the military heroes to whom this country owes so much, but in sist that their most heroic deeds pro ceeded infinitely more from devotion to the country than from martia spirit.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-09-30

Some time ago Archbishop Farley of New York appointed commission to look up the question of music. This committee has now reported, and hereafter all Catholic churches in the New York diocese must conform to the rules laid down by the commis- sion. The new order, says the Hart ford Times, requires the Gregor1an music to be used at all the greater services, but permits the Palestrinian or even the modern style to be used
 at certain services, provided the lat ter be strictly religious and ecclesias- tical in character, and "such as not to
 attract too much to itself the atten- tion of the hearers" Woman singers
 are not to be used, their places being taken by boys when the music re- quires sopranos and contraltos. Tn the
 list of abuses to be eliminated wher-
 ever found are the singing of pieces IT. language other than Latin during Hturgical function. adaptations of
 Latin words to pieces borrowed from secular sources, the use of masses in
 which the Kyrie, Gloria, etc, are di-
 vided into separate complete move
 ments, not necessarily having musical connection with each other, use of compositions in which the words are
 transposed or repeated, organ accom-
 paniment to certain parts of the mass, long interludes or intermezzos, the omission of any part prescribed to be sung at high mass or vespers, the ad-
 mission to choirs of those who are not
 Catholics and even of Catholics who are not of known piety and probity,
 and the playing of bands in church.
 These changes are avoWedly made in the interest of the spiritual rather than esthetic reasons. The pope is a 1 musician, but it is probable that his own taste inclines to the Gregorian, which permits wonderfully beautiful effects If the singing is perfect, but to most modern ears is far less attract l i've than the more recent music to the
 manner of which they are accustomed. There will for long time be less Go- l ing to Catholic churches in New York
 to hear the music than has been the custom. The music is to be a re- ligfous help, not an entertainment.

We observe similar lack of mettle in Mir Roosevelt's attitude concerning the tariff and the trusts, says one writer Whether the early opinions expressed by him adverse, to protec- ton were we'll matured or not, he was, when he became president undoubt- edly and naturally, struck by the idea
 that it was time to reduce the most exorbitant rates of the Dingley tariff, and especially that the aid given by the protective tariff to the trusts in perfecting their respective monopolies must be- withdrawn. He repeatedly gave expression to such sentiments, and discussed various methods to ac- complish such ends. Indeed, it might have been thought that a bold and un- yielding attack upon the monster of monopoly would particularly tempt his chivalrous courage. His admins tration did indeed institute legal pro- ceedings against monopolistfc combi- nations, but 1t has, so far, accom- plished nothing tangible as to the stopping of the extortions practiced upon the people by the trusts, which especially the manufacturing trusts
 touch the general public most nearly These trusts are not very much afraid of restrictive laws and legal proceed ings, for they have almost fboundless ingenuity of evasion at their com mand. What most of them, and in deed the worst of them, really fear is to be deprived of the benefit the tariff gives them in protecting them against foreign competition; and thus aiding them in establishing and maintaining their home monopoly. That firm pro
