THE LONGEST WAR.-With slight In
tervals for refreshment and rest, the
war Of the Dutch against the Achinese
has been going on for more than
century, and though the once powerful
kingdom Of Achin Is now confined to
the northwest corner Of Sumatra, the
natives are still unsubdued. Each ex-
pedition sent against the Achinese
though temporarily successful, has
been followed by little lasting benefits
except that attrition has gradually
worn away the ancient kingdom.
This long war, always conducted
with great ferocity on both sides, now
seems to have degenerated into strug-
gle Of determination, in which women
and children share the fate Of their
sons and fathers. The Dutch regard
the Achinese as barbarians, but little
can be said for the civilization typified
by the Dutch commander who calmly
announces as a detail Of his victory
the slaughter Of 2S1 women and So
children.
Strangely enough, this announce
ment, instead Of being suppressed by
the government Of the Netherlands. Is
sent broadcast over the world, accom-
panied by no adverse comments or q
hint Of official action against the COM
manding general Of the expedition
And the Dutch capital is the seat OF
The Hague tribunal, the place from
which rules for the amelioration of the
conditions Of war, its avoidance, and
its final extinction, are supposed to
emanate.

HE DENIED Ir.-"Governor Bob Tay-
lor who still dabbles a little In poll

an admirer Of the light-hearted, sun
shiny Tennessean, land it is told by
the governor at the expense OF the
Populist party. The governor told
the story at Dresden, and repeated II
at Memphis to a jovial crowd OF
friends. Here is the way he put 1t:
7 up my way there was fellow VINO
came into a car full Of men one day
and declared that he could tell the
politics of every man in the car with
out asking a single question, and as
serted that he didn't know a single
man there. Well, they told him to
cut loose, and he did. He said: THAT
big fellow over there with the side
whiskers and the diamond stud In his
shirt front is a Republican" The big
fellow with the side whiskers ac-
knowledged it. "And that little fellow
in the back seat with the red hair ana
stubby beard and the snub nose,
smoking the clay pipe, is Democrat"
"Oi am thot," said the red-haired man.
And that long, lanky, tallow-faced
fellow over there is a Populist, ne

THE HYPERBoLIcAL MosoUTTo.-John
E. Redmond, at a reception in his hon
or, was asked for his opinion Of po-
litical prophecy that had been printed
in a London newspaper.
Mr.. Redmond read the prophecy.
Then he smiled.
This" he said, "is hyperbolical. II
Is as hyperbolical as the mosquito sto-
ry that a resident Of New Jersey told
me the other day.
This gentleman desired to impress
upon me the great size and ferocity OF
the New Jersey mosquitoes. He said:
az had valuable COW in the spring,
and usually I kept her In the stable,
for the mosquitoes were growing in
size and in numbers, and feared that
they might do her harm.

day in the field, and toward evening l
went with one Of the farm boys to
bring her home to the milking.

tree, and on an adjacent fence sat
mosquito, picking his teeth with one
Of her horns.'

THREE VALUABLE WORDS.
A Lawyer Charged $4,000 Fee for
1hen,.

1t has been said on good authority
that the highest price ever paid for a
writing was given a lawyer in this
immediate vicinity. A certain railroad
company had lost enormous sums Of
money through damage suits institu-
ted by those injured in grade cross
ing accidents. This company had been
most particular in the matter Of erect
ing signs at each crossing, but jury
after jury decided that they were Of
small moment, since the warning they
conveyed was to lookout for the cars"
or look out for the engine" and in
almost every instance it was conclus-
lively proved that the damage was
caused by that part Of the train not
mentioned! So in desperation the
railroad commissioned a lawyer Of
wide repute to compose a sign that
would hold" in court. After some
days the following sentence, written
on a large sheet of paper, came from
the man learned in the law:
stop, look and listen"
Following this came a bill for $10,-
900. So when you hear some long
tongued individual boasting about the
dollar word Mr.. Kipling gets, or the
surprising sum paid Richard Harding
Davis for articles describing the war
he didn't see, dismiss the being as
dealer in ant-hills, for the lawyer
aforementioned got a check for the
amount named, and, so far as history
enlightens us, no one ever before re-
ceived so much as $2,5O0 a word.
Before the end of a year the lawyer
was informed by the president Of the
road that the new sign had saved
many times it's cost. And the point 1
am especially desirous Of making in
regard to this sign is it's immense
value to men and women generally, not
only in the matter of saving life and
limb, but in the higher sense of get
ting out Of life all there is in 1t.
Stop, look and listen.
How many of us do any one Of the
three? We rush, are blind and close
our ears. Then we sue the world for
damages. Do we get them?-Phila-
delphia North American.

The Decey Half Crown.

John Percival, Bishop of Hereford,
attended the International Pea'n COZ =
gress in Boston. A lifelong friend Of
the prelate's said Of him with a smile:
When DR.. Percival lived in Birming-
ham he went one Sunday to preach In
a village on the Humber.
"The village church was small, and
only one person was needed to take mp
the collection. This person, an aged
man with an intelligent face, passed
I'D and down the aisles with the COL
lection basket, and at the end, came
into the chancel and advanced to lay
the money on the sacrament table. AS
he came forward with his back to the
congregation he did dreadful thing
From the collection, which was unusu-
ally generous, he took silver hair
crown, and this coin he slipped quiet
ly into his pocket.
mo one had seen him but DR.. Per-
cival DR.. Percival was Mortified, but
he said nothing. AS he preached the
perfidious old man sat and listened
with a righteous air. The minister
could scarcely refrain from denouncing
him.
AT the sermons end the old man
was the first to offer his congratula-
tions.
IAN excellent sermon, SIR he said.
The people of Birmingham are to be
envied.'
"T wish to speak to YOU said DR..
Percival. I wish to see you alone.
Wait for me-
"The old man waited, and after the
little church had emptied itself, Dr.
Percival said:
az saw you take half crown from
the collection basket. Why did you do
it%
"The old man smiled.
"Is that what was worrying you'
sir? he said. We'll, make your mind
easy. That half crown has done duty
this many a year. keep it to put In
the basket first, and then our towns
rich men, seeing a poor chap like me
put In a half crown, can't for shame
give less"
