tea, but will sit down with you and
your guests and join in the social cup
and the conversation. Nothing is
sacred from her. She wants her
rights, and these rights consist of a
finger in every pie. You can only
escape her or only have a private word
with your family by fleeing to the
uttermost chamber of your home and
locking the door behind you, and then
YOU had better stuff the key hole.
Deliver us still from the blight OF
the lady help!

Time to Drop 1t.

As we have remarked before there is not so much being said about state hood as was heard a year ago. The people of this territory evidently meant what they said in the mass meetings held a couple of weeks ago when they declared that they would prefer ter ritorial form of government indefinite ly to the only kind of statehood that seemed to be in sight.
 The less there Is said about our de- sire to enter the galaxy, etc, now the better it will be. Our business at the present time is to keep the mind of statehood question and perhaps 1t will forget about it.
 However. after all, it is doubtful If the senate could force joint statehood on the territories if it desired to do so. We are assured by the Albuquerque Citizen. which, curiously, would prefer tai at Santa Fe to two states, that that territory would oppose a consti- tution intended for q joint state Speaking of the action of the republi- can territorial committee on the day that the mass meetings were held throughout this territory, the Citizen says:
 By the action. of the people of Ari-
Arizona republican., 1904-02-10

zona and the territorial republican committee of New Mexico in opposing the creation of a state to be composed of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona, the compromise plan In coE- gress is defeated.
 "The bill vill not pass the senate. If it did the people of the two torri- tories would reject the constitution. preferring territorial government.
 "The Citizen regrets this action. For many reasons this paper would prefer the union of the two territories into a state than separate statehood, but it is not worth while to recount them now. The republicans of New Mexico by their committee rejects the propo- sition. This means that constitution for a proposed state would be defeated In this territory, and Arizona is almost solidly opposed to the union of the two territories. MT. Rodey has made a wonderful fight for statehood, and can rest assured that the people fully ap- preclate his untiring work.
 Ut is time to drop the whole state hood fight.
 "If many of us had tried to get to heaven as hard as We have tried to secure statehood. the pearly gates of Paradise would stand ajar."

A BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT

The big fat man was annoyed
 ''1he fact is,' the tGilor had told h m. that you are so much larger than the average man that we'll have to make an extra charge for vour suit
 The big man had been up against the same proposition before and he did not like it.
 "I'o you make a reduction to small mem" he asked.
 Well. no; that isn't our custom" the tai!or admitted.
 The fat man felt that the tailor thus secured an advantage that he ought not 10 have.
 How much cloth does it take to make a suit for a man of good size but not too large to get in at the regular price," he asked. Tn other words. whats the maximum that you allow :"
 The tailor told him.
 Suppose I order double that amount of cloth made up into two suits?''
 That's all right" said the tailor. but I don't see what good it will do vou."
 "In get them both at the regular price. won't I?''
 "Certaintly."
 And it's nothing to you whether there is the same amount of material in each or a lot in one and very little in the other?'
 ''No-o."
 Al right. Just take my order for two suits. I've got it fixed with a little skinny fellow in the next block to go ir with me on this. and we'll just about make the average right. I'd rather di- vide what I save with him than let n tailor give me the worst of it. Brooklyn Eagle.

PLACID INDIFFERENCE OF THE
 KOREAN.

While Japan and Russia dispute as to their respective rights in and to Ko- req. Korea as a nation looks on with absolute indifference. Of its 12.OOO, 900 inhabitants it is doubtful if more than a few hundred thousand have eve- heard of the dispute. Certainly the two hundred thousand in Seoul display no interest in it. They pursue the even tenor of their way as though nothing whatever was going on that concerned them in the least But this is the way the Korean takes everything
 Seoul has telephones and telegrar rhs {: American missionaries have establish cd ore schoo. and two hospitals the e; Americans have also extended their lit- :le street railway to the river port of RiCng-San. 9 distance of three miles. and are enlarging their electric D ant SO that it may be used for lighting: the Seoul Fusan railway is being pushed rapidly along by the Japa nese, and the French are making slow progress with t!.e Seoul-Witu line. All this. like the -.ortents of war, leave the Korean ab solutely untouched
 At present Korea's relations with both Japan and Russia aie on the most friendly basis SO far as any one can see. The only question actually pend ir- between the government of Elm peror VI and these two powers is the opening of Wiju and Yongampo to fo.- eign trade Russia opposes this, ar Japan, the United States and Great Britain demand it. No Cne in Seoul Knows what the Korean goverame t thinks about t. Ii Keunthaik' is sup posed to be the dominating native in fiuence. and there is no doubt that he is decidedly pro Russian. He support ed NJ. Pavlow. the Russian represen a. tive, in the Yongampo matter, and the Japanese claim that he has made d secret agreement with Russia to turn over the Korean ermy to Admiral -Alexieff in the event of war.-Col!ier' s Weekly.

ALL THE FAULT OF YANKEES.

The leading St. Petersburg news paper is permitted by the censors 70 state that if there is war in the east it is all our fault. The United State government began the anti Russian campaign by sending George Kennan to unmask the cruelties of Siberian prisons. Now it wants to transform China into an American India to buy our surplus manufactures. After that it wants Russia also.
 All this sounding fury because the United States. having treated with China for commercial rights in Man churia, is actually sending two consuls thither!
 It seems convenient for the old world to blame the new for everything that goes wrong, from the minor man. llers of young Englishmen exposed to the influence of American heiresses to the major matters Of world politics. But the Novoe Vremya may be assured that the United States does not want China and. Russia. Its experiment in the Philippines is quite enough in that line.-New York World.
