The trouble with this sort of phil

any condition of things in which the
father does not pay the rent. When
the daughter begins to earn money

sentimental considerations, apt to
feel that she is the boss of her own

Both are remarkably bright little fel-

Louis is a financie-; he saves his money

pennies than he does for marbles.

short. chubby limbs can carry him to

Louis, is not at all particular about re-

all good boys. loves to go to Sunday
school. while Ralph does not seek to
conceal the fact that he is a little sin
ner' and would sooner stay home and
play.
The other day Louis was remonstrat-
ing with his younger brother and advis-
ing him against his Dad habits. such as
not minding father and mother and
playing on Sunday. AS an incentive 20

peatcd to him what he had. learned in
the Sunday school, to the effect that all
good boys go to heaven. To make the
lesson more effective. Louis told Ralph
of the reward which came to good boys
upon reaching heaven. They are given

Where do they get the wings from"
asked Ralph doubtingly.
Louis did not wisls TO be stumped by
his profigate little brother. but he
couldn't just figure out himself where
the wings cane from. He did not at

an answer. and he replied that God

"Humph." sighed Ralph, then all the

Louis is not certain that his lesson to

A REMARKABLE MEMORY.

A remarkable memory for faces is one
of the attributes of George Denny. head
Waterman at the State. War and Navy
Building. which. according to standard
guide books. is the largest Office build
ing I'm the world. 1t is as head door
keeper of this massive structure after

gift stands him I'm good stead
Like the other Government buildings
no visitors are allowed at the State

of the Offices remain open until 5
o'clock. however. and there is a con-
slant stream of officials, messengers,
and newspaper men pouring in and out
beyond the time that the doors are
closed. Denny neser makes the mis-
take of holding UP the wrong man. He
has trained eye for faces and though
an official connected with any Of the
departments may have passed him only
once or twice during the regular hours.

THE WISE STATESMAN.

He never spoke until he found
out just how things were going:
He always switched his views around
The way the wind was blowing.
And when. at last.
All doubt was past,
With ardor that was splendid
He gave up being dumb
And manfully contended
For what was bound to come
With solemn look his head he shook
While there was cause for doubling
He watched the course that others took
And bravely heard their shouting;
Whate'er the bill.
He waited till
There was no chance 10 blunder,
Then rising fearlessly
He spoke in words of thunder
For what was bound 10 be-
Within the Hall of Fame nc got
A lofty place and spacious,
Because the foolish people thought
Him statesmanlike. sagacious;
And you and /.
If we but try,

How things VIII end. as he did,
And then begin TO blow.

PARKER IN A QUANDARY
AT MURPHY'S TACTICS
Between Shouts of the Faithful and Antics of the Leader
Woud-Be Candidate Is Undetermined

Judge Parker is apparently in doubt
whether the Democracy of New York
wants him as its candidate for Presi-
dent a dinner was given in Albany
last night at which all the members of
the Tammany delegation in the Legisla-
ture were present, as well as number
Of Republicans. Judge Parker and
Judge o. BrieH were among the guests.
AS might have been expected among so
many politicians of consequence in New
York, the speechmaking had much of
political flavor.
Senator Bailey, who comes from one
of the Long Island districts. started n
Parker boom at the dinner and it
seemed to take remarkably well with
the Tammany braves, and from the re-
ports ii might be judged that he was
the candidate of Tammany Hall first.

Gus story he is reported to have told

The Boss.
A Wilkesbarre Judge Decides That He
Who PAYS the Rent Is Boss.

A Wilkesbarre judge was recently
called upon to give decision in the
ease of a young woman of Maynard
habits, who had disobeyed her father
in the matter of staying out late
nights, and was upheld in her unfhal
conduct by her mother. This judge
said:
"You owe obedience to your father,
and you must not think that you can
rule him. II was he, not your mother.
who took care of YOU when you could
rot earn money to care for yourself.
He pays the rent and is the boss"
This decision must have caused
some discussion among the people
likely toNbe affected by 1.-THE people
who have to be hauled into police
court now and then TO remind them
that wives and children are to be
treated decently, and husbands have
ia right to demand ordinary civility
from their wives. Apparently this
ornament Of the bench believes thai
the ability to-pay the rent gives one
the right to decide what shall be done
with it; not only this. but the right to
control the actions of the people who
live on his money.
This case Is interesting because 1t
shows reversion TO first principles
such as sometimes takes place in the
most highly civilized society. The
Judge did not quote that old rhyme
which says:
BE kind 10 thy father, Tor when thou vast young
Who loved thee 50 fondly as he.
No; the chances are that those
whom he was addressing would not
have appreciated poetry. 1t IS also
barely possible that the father in
question had not showed his fondness
in any very pronounced way in the
bosom Of his family. The Judge
talked to them in q way that they
could understand. He brought fiial
duty down to the comprehension OF

Murphy for Cleveland.

While the Tammany legislators either
seriously OF jokingly are shouting for
Parker in Albany, Leader Murphy IN
New York is all the time declaring that
ne finds sentiment for Cleveland
stronger than for any other man in
the Democratic party. This. too. after
the ex-Presj lent has declared that he
cannot imagine any combination of cir
eumstances which would enable him to
become candidate again. Not even the
support Of the leader Of Tammany Han
has been sufficient to cause him to
change his opinion in this respect
Consequently, anG quite naturally the
question is often asked what Murphy
means by persisting in saying THAT Cleve-
land is the man to nominate The most
logical answer to this is the state
ment that Murphy is simply talking
about Cleveland, whom he knows is an
impossibility, in order to avoid commit

American Flour.
Its Chance Of Overcoming Competition
in the Amur Provinces.

Recent consular reports contain
some statements about American -four
in the Orient which are rather inter-
esting. Three years ago, in and about
Vladivostok, American -four led i'll tie
competition. Russia, from the Black
Sea, also sends -four INTO the Amur
country, and the Chinese in Mar
elluria furnish another brand. Rus
sian flour IS only of those higher quail
tiles which, are not shipped from the
United States. At present Chinese
-four from Manehuria has the upper
hand.
The Chinese beat the Russians IL,
this competition because of their
proximity to the market, but more be
cause of the low price at which the
Chinese agriculturist is able to supply
ms grain. 1t pays him to sell the
grain at 10 cents per pood, and the
pood is tllirty-six ponnds. Two steam
flour mills are now working day and
night, and more are to be erected. The
best that the Russian agriculturist can
dc Is - cents for the same amount OF
grain which the Chinese farmer sells
for 40 cents.
This suggests one of the reasons
why Manchuria is valuable to Russia,
and may be more so. A grain-produc-
ing, four-producing territory within
convenient reach of the field of war,
with Chinese farmers under control of
Russia, might be exceedingly handy
for commissary officers.

heileves he has discovered in the funda-
mental law of the land that which thu.
great eXpounders have carelessly over
looked. namely. that the Constitution
does not prohibit woman from exercis-
ing the right OF suffrage. but that they
are only deprived of the privilege of
voting by lack of legislation to carry
out the provisions OF the Constitution.
Representative French comes from
Idaho. where, as in some OF the other
Western States. the sentiment in favor Of
woman suffrage has won out In every
Congress there is introduced joint resO-
buttons providing for amendments to
the Federal Constitution STIMULATING that
the right of suffrage shall not be denied
on account of sex. and in various ways
calculated to give women the right to
vote. All Of these female suffrage ad-
vocates have taken it for granted that
in order to enable women to vote a
constitutional amendment is necessary.
The Woman Suffrag ist Associations
have also taken this ground and here
tofore have been granted hearings by
judiciary Committees in favor of an
amendment extending to them this right.
Now comes young Mr.. French and de-
clares that it is not necessary to patch
the Constitution in order TO permit wo-
men to go to the polls and cast their
ballots, at least for members of the
House of Representatives. He has ac-
cordingly introduced I'm the House a bill
to carry out the provisions of the Con-
siitution with respect to suffrage and
which is calculated to enable women to
vote.

purposes Of trade are wiped clean of
all buildings, so that new structures,
when they 60 up, will not be sand
wiched in between old ones built
largely Of wood.
While ii Is true that the steel f'sky-
scIaper' will not stand the test of a
furnace of roaring flames all round
1T, 1t might be practically fireproof if
there were nothing but steel-ribbcd
buildings of modern construction IN
any one street, and If laws were made
and enforced as to the storage of in
fammaDle goods in thickly populated
districts of a city. Very few build
ings could resist the destructive power
of an explosion of dynamite, gas, or
gasolene, or be safe neighbors if
stored with large quantities of alec
hol, infiammable paint, or any kind Of
stuff which allows fire to spread al
most instantaneously. In these days
OF easy transportation there seems no
reason why such combustible stuff
should not be stored outside the city
limits and brought III as it is needed
1t might be little more expensive,
but it would be safe.
The great trouble in Baltimore was.
however, as it would be in nearly
every old American city, that side by
side with solid brick and stone build
ings were hundreds of wooden strue-
lures, which easily caught and spread
the flames. Without more or less
disturbance to commercial conditions
1t is not possible to enforce building
law which shall prevent this. In
Washington, for example, if law
we're passed requiring all buildings on
Pennsylvania Avenue, between the
Capitol and the White House, and all
buildings in the triangle of space be-
tween the Avenue and + Street to the
northward, to be of brick or stone,
freproof in construction, it would
make the business section of this city
practically safe, but it would mean
the tearing down of millions of dol
lars worth Of buildings, and the cree
ilcn of others at several times the
present cost of the property. UlG-
nlately, of course, the expenditure
would be justified; but it would be ex-
trelnely difficult to effect any such
clean sweep of unsafe property. And
ii this comparatively small area
would be so hard to make over, what
shall be said of closely packed sec
ton of Baltimore, of Boston, or of
New York;
None the less it is true that the
wooden building in the business street
Of the city must 90; that the law must
forbid the storage of infammable
goods In large quantities within the
city limits: that increased care must
be taken of the insulating of cleo
tric light wires and the perfection of
gas connections-in both of which
matters the average American is likely
to be careless. The insurance CON-
panies, which have been hard hit bv
the recent catastrophe, are likely to
have something to say ON this subject,
