WHY HE LOVED A RAT


There was party of estimable women
who made tour of the prisons in New
jersey said Representatives Hughes Of
Paterson. 'They were investigating to
see what they could do to relieve the hard
lot Of the convict. They came to a par
ticuiarly vicious looking man. who was
doing twenty years for burglary. He had
tame rat in the cell with him and ape
parently was very fond of it.
g My good man. said one of the visit
ing ladies, are you fond of that rat?'
81 love 1t better than anything In the
world said the convict.
g There, said another Of the ladies' Z
have always claimed there is a way in
which these men, no matter how hard l
ened in crime. can be reached. Here. is
man who loves tame rat Now, my
good man, will you tell us why you love
this rat?'
" Because he bit the warden said the
convict"

ladies stand in the aisle. Coming over from
st. Paul recently on an interurban car
the weather was rather cold for a smoke
on the rear platform, so entered the car
and took my seat my the side OF a man
whom had reason to believe did not use
tobacco. Three minutes of that gentle
mans breath was enough, and in order to
counterfeit the awful experience retired
to the rear platform and smoked all the
way to Minneapolis.

Chase, don't forget the fiends who eat

COAL FoR RUSSIA

Coal is an important article just now in
Japan and Russia. It Is said that Russia
had ordered 100000 tons from Pennsyl-
vafia, Japan has 5000 square miles of coal
lands and her exports are 100000 tons
annually greater than her imports. It is
estimated that over 100000 tons are de-
posted in the undeveloped coal fields In
the island Of Hokkaido. one Of the north
ern islands of Japan. Russia's imports are
largely in excess Of her exports, notwith-
standing she has q, coal area Of 90 900
square miles, exclusive Of Siberia, Central
Asia and Caucasia. It is clear that Rus

Lyceum-"chImmie Fadden."

After wandering for two weeks in the
wilderness of religious argument, the reg
ular patrons of the Lyceum theater again
see their land of promise realized in
"Chimmie Fadden." It is a far cry from
the dramatization of "Parsifal' to Edward
Townsends study of Bowery character,
but the clientele Of the popular stock
theater has come into its own again with
an enthusiasm which was almost contin-
uously betokened last night by roars OF
laughter or by tumultuous applause.
Manager Dick Ferris confesses to his
regret that he cannot with financial sue.
cess maintain the artistic standard set
when he produced "Parsifal," and points
to the fact that the receipts last night
were one hundred dollars larger than fol
the second Sunday night of the Par.
sifar' engagement. Those who regularly
attend the Lyceum want plays Of the
"Chimmie Fadden'' order. Why kick
against the pricks? .. s
There is some comfort in the knowledge
that the return to the inevitable finds
a comedy. acceptably played by a COM
pany of favorites at the head of which
is Joseph Totten in the role Of "Chim
nile. Mr.. Totten's development of the
character may not be that which some
of us thought Mr.. Townsend sought tt
sketch. but the actor does not lean tt
the side Of vugarity, and it is pleasure
to see a Bowery type who is not a hope.
less tough.
Not the least interesting feature of the
return Of "Chimmies Fadden" is the brie1
but effective temperance of Miss Laurettt
Allen, who, after an absence of several
weeks. contributes a small but telling
character study of the Bowery gossip an6
sometime inebriate, Mrs. Murphy. An.
other new face is that Of Henry Crosby
who acceptably plays the part Of "Whisk.

70 the Editor Of TIE Journal.
In The j Journal of the 22d ult,
appeared an article from w. C.. Thomp-
son, a ''nonsmoker," and this was fol-
lowed by another In The Journal of
the 18th from 3. M. Chase. I do not pur-
pose to uphold the use of tobacco in any
form, but as an ordinary mortal who
smokes a couple of cigars each day, I
do propose, to register a kick against the
language used by these really good men
against about 80 per cent of the adult
male population of this city. The prin-
cipal objection to, us very wicked wretches
who smoke is that we stand on the rear

The retirement Of Theodore NJ Knappen
from newspaper work affords an opportun-
ity to say some of those things of which
a worthy man seldom hears too much in
these busy days, but which are more likely
to find expression when they can no long
err afford him any pleasure. Mr.. Knappen
has been engaged in newspaper work about
ten years. He prepared carefully for it
during his school and college days and
came into it unusually well equipped for
its demands Taking that together with
industry, enthusiasm and other natural
qualifications of high order it is no
wonder that he has ma de marked sue
cess Of 1t. He retires-temporarily it is
hoped-with the good wishes Of all his
associates who esteem him for his high
character, honor him for his ability and
attachments, and love him for his good
fellowship. Financial inducements of an
attractive character have carried him into
another line Of work, but it is to be hoped
that talents SO well adapted to the highest
personal success and public usefulness are
not permanently diverted from the field Of
journalism.

Uncle Joe Not to Blame.

1t is safe to say that "Uncle
Joe" Cannon is not party to
any presidential booms which are
inflated with his name. There is no
more stanch supporter of Roosevelt
in congress than the speaker of the
house, and no thought is further from
Mr.. Cannon's mind than that his name
shall go before the republican ma
tional convention next June. Demon
STATIONS like the one which followed
the speech Of William Alden Smith Of
Michigan last week are to be con-
strued as tributes to the personal and
official popularity Of Speaker Cannon.
The gentleman from Illinois always
has been liked as we'll as respected,
and his conduct in the position Of
speaker has not diminished the esteem
in which he is held. While Mr.. Cannon
has held down legislation with firm
hand, he has been eminently fair in
his treatment of members, and he al
ways has been ready to stretch a point
as against technical Interpretation
of the rules in order to accomplish
! what seems right and fair. But what
has probably counted for more in the
minds of members is the fact that the
dignity of the speakership has not
made him f1at-footed or round-shoul-
dered, as an Illinois member expressed
! it. He is still the plain, uncouth,
kindly Uncle joe"

COPPER STOCKS 4 SPECIALITY.

For some time we have been advising our
clients to enter the market as purchasers of
copper stocks. Following our advice, they
have profted in substantial sums from their
speculatiOns in the low priced coppers. We
would advise all who are not averse to Selling
a favorable opportunity, not to delay, but to
buy at once.
Prevailing market conditions warrant the
belief that the marked advance in values on
copper stocks during the past week is to be
followed by further improvement. The price
of the metal, both lake and electrolytic, has
been steadily advancing, reaching 1414 at the
close on Friday. There is every evidence
that the price will touch II before long.
To meet the constantly growing demand,
production must be greatlv~increased, and at
present prices profits of manufacture will
necessarily be enlarged Every consideration
points to the present as the psychological
moment to enter the copper market.
Closing quotations the following active
copper stocks Monday and Friday show
the general tendency of the market:
