Too Busy To Make a Noise.

A Kansas City teacher of a kinder
garten was incapacitated from work
one day recently by the following Incl
dent, says the Kansas City Star. The
subject of the lecture and object les
son was animals, birds and then more
animals.
Now, children" said the teacher 81
want each of you to think of some
animal or bird and try for a moment
to be like the particular one you are
thinking about, and make the same
kind of noises they are in the habit
of making"
Here was the command. Here the
finale:
Instantly the schoolroom became a
menagerie. Lions roaring, dogs bark
ing, birds singing and twittering, cows
lowing, calves beating, cats mewing,
etc, all in an uproar and excitement
all, with one single exception.
Off in a remote corner a little fellow
was sitting perfectly still, apparently
Indifferent and unmindful of all the
rest. The teacher, observing him, APP
preached and said
Waldo, why are you not taking part
with the other children?"
Waving her off with a deprecating
hand and wide, rebuking eyes, he fer
vently whispered
"Sh-sh-sh, teacher-sh! I'm a
'ooster, and I'm a-layin' a aig!"

Why He pidn,t Win.

A Western representative who had
never been to the races went out to
Benning, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York World. He
met a man he knew. The man took
him aside and said:
Now l am going to give you a
good thing. You put bet on Lily
Brook Bet a ten-dollar bill on her
and she will make some money for
you, but don't you tell soul. Don't
you breathe the name of the horse
to anybody. l am doing this for you
because l like you, but l don't want
the name of the horse to get around.
It's a chinch."
The Western representative took $40
and went to a boOkmaker.
Il want to bet S10," he said.
What -" asked the bookmaker.
u won't tell you" the Western rep
resentative replied with some asperity.
Il want TO bet SO and here it is"
"Gwan!" said the boOkmaker; want
to bet on the winner, 1 suppose. Run
along and try to con Jack Mcdonald
After the race, which Lily Brook
won handily, at to /, the man met
the representative.
Made some money. l suppose?" he
said
NO" the representative replied. Il
couldn't get any one to take the bet
without telling them the name of the
horse, and l promised you l wouldn't
tell"

John D. Rockefeller Jr., was talking
to his Sunday-school class about indus
try, says an exchange.
Our industry" he said with a faint
smile, should not be of such a nature
that the remark once applied to a GER
tain Scot could ever be applied to us.
TN tell YOU what the remark l al
Jude to was.
1.-TWO old farmers were walking down
a road near Dunbermline when one of
them pointed to distant field and said,
shading his eyes from the sun:
That figure over there--I wonder
if it's a scarecrow?
He stopped and regarded the figure
very attentively for space. Then he
concluded in a satisfied tone:
Ives, it's not moving. 1t must be
a scarecroW.'
But the other farmer had sharper
eyes and a better understanding, may
be, of certain types of human nature.
NO he said, dryly; no, it's not a
scarecrow. It's a man working by
the day."

NOT POPULAR AT HOME.

The mention of Mr.. Roosevelt's name
in the Republican convention of New
York did not, according to the reports
of the New York city papers. elicit
much enthusiasm. The convention
met at Carnegie Hall, New York city.
on Tuesday for the purpose of choos-
ing delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
The convention, under the direction
of Gov. Odell, the new political boss,
did what was expected of it, but it
did it in a half-hearted way. 1t is
said that the lack of enthusiasm has
made Mr.. Roosevelt very anxious as
to how the state will cast its vote in
the presidential contest. If he were
popular he would be confident of car
rying it, but it seems he has good rea-
sons for thinking he isn't popular in
his home state, and stands pretty
good chance of losing it.
If this is the opinion of MIR. Roose-
welt and his advisers it is certain that
they haven't much hope that the state
will be added to the Roosevelt column.
1t is stated, however, on what appears
to be good authority, that Mr.. Roose-
welt is determined to leave no stone
unturned to capture the states cleo
toral vote. OF course he could be
elected without it, but if New York
should get into the Democratic col
umn the other doubtful states would
also be found there, in all probability.
That Mr.. Roosevelt scents danger
there is no doubt. His political adj
visers admit as much. Since it be-
came practically certain that Judge
Parker would be the Democratic nomi-
nee, Mr.. Roosevelt according to the
accounts of him in the dispatches,
has shown a seriousness in his confer
ences with his political lieutenants
that is altogether foreign to him. AS
long as it seemed to be impossible for
the Democrats to agree upon a plat
form, and a ticket that would unite
their party, MIR. Roosevelt was as
free from anxiety as the ordinary school
boy is. But the prospect that Judge
Parker will be his opponent, and the
knowledge that there are differences
in his own party in his home state, to-
gether with the fact that he is not as
popular with New York Republicans
as he was when he was their candi-
date for governor. has had SOLDERING
effect upon him. Victory doesn't look
so certain to him now as it did
month ago.
Besides, it is about time for a change
in the political control of New York
According to the Wall Street Journal
there have been seven changes in the
last forty years. The Republicans have
now had control of the executive and
legislative branches for nine years
the longest any party has had such
complete control in a century-and the
people are thinking a change would
be beneficial to their interests. 1t can
be readily seen therefore that Mr..
Roosevelt has reason to be anxious re-
garding the outcome of the presidential
campaign.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE MISSOURI.

There have been so many accidents
of one kind and another on our war
ships since the building of the new
navy began that it will not be surpris-
ing if the appalling catastrophe on the
Missouri is followed by an in
vestigation for the purpose of deter
mining whether or not all the precau-
lions possible are being taken for the
prevention of accidents on the vessels
of our navy. Where there is so much
machinery and the handling of explo-
sives has to be done with such care it
is practically impossible to avoid ac-
cidents altogether. but surely some
thing could be done to make them less
frequent. If they continue at the pres
ent rate the cost of keeping the ships
in repair will be something enormous.
And the cost resulting from the acct
dents is a minor matter in comparison
with the loss of life.
What is supposed to have been the
cause of the accident was stated in
the dispatches. If we are not mistak-
en- the accident wouldn't have occurred
if there had not been an effort to make
record in rapid firing. OF course the
efficiency of a battleship depends to
some extent upon the rapidity and ac-
curacy with which her guns can be
fired, but before experiments in rapid
firing are made the question as to how
often gun can be safely fired in a
given time should be determined as
accurately as possible.
Accidents, no doubt, are due oftener
to carelessness than to a lack of
knowledge, and the question presents
itself as to how both officers and men
can be brought to exercise greater
care and watchfulness. Probably the
chief officers are all the while i'm
pressing upon their subordinates and
the men OF the crews the necessity of
guarding constantly against accidents,
but in spite of admonitions there will
be a certain amount of carelessness
and indifference. The accident on the
Missouri has not only filled many
hearts with sadness, but it has cast a
feeling of gloom over the entire navy.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: Two years and a half ago the
Republicans in Congress were sneering
at Mr.. Roosevelt as a civil service
crank, restless reformer, an insati-
able talker, who knew nothing of poll
tics. To-day Mr.. Roosevelt is more
absolutely in control o, his party and
its machinery than was any previous
President for generation. Congress
is abject in it's Difference to him. This
may be evidence of the unexpected
greatness of the President, or it may
be evidence of the feebleness of the
the Republican"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: Should Congress adjourn at
the end of April, it will have COM
pleted the work of what is legally
known as the long session much ear
lier than usual. This haste is not
due to the absence of important ques-
tions before the national legislators,
but solely and simply it results from
desire to avoid new legislation as
much as possible, for fear of it's effect
upon the approaching national cam
paign. 1t is generally recognized that
the approaching contest may be an
unusually animated one. and may also
be very close, hence the party in pow
err is DESTROYS of avoiding as much as
possible legislation which might fur
nish its opponents with good campaign
material"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
Dem.) has this to say of David B.
Hill: ''Mr. Bryan shows himself a
very obtuse person when he intimates
that Mr.. Hill would be satisfied with
any little measly place In Mr.. Park
er's cabinet. What he wants is TO
redeem New York. What he wants is
his old place in the Senate and one
more whack at the White House!
Poor man! He is a bachelor. He has
nothing else to think about. He is a
sober. indefatigable. industrious man,
born with a ballot in one hand and
a ballot-box in the other and he is
very tenacious. He has long had the
bee in his bonnet. Like Buchanan.
whom in some ways he resembles. he
may get there. Anyhow, here's hoping
that he may!"

Taxing UP RRYAN, COLLECTION.

1t is interesting to note how gem
orally the Republican papers are TAX
ing up Mr.. Bryans argument against
Judge Parker, namely, the argument
that nobody knows what his opinions
are on the leading political questions
of the day And why should the Re
publicans be so anxious to create the
impression that Judge Parker has no
opinions, that If nominated he would
be a colorless candidate? Clearly it
| is their desire to prevent him from
being nominated. They see, as the
Democrats do. that he is the strong
est man that could be nominated
| against Mr.. Roosevelt, and that he
would stand good chance of being
| elected.
From this time until the meeting
of the st. Louis convention they will
use all their influence to create a
sentiment against him among Demo-
Gratis. They will not meet with much
success, however. Although Mr..
Bryan is against him those who stood
staunchly by Mr.. Bryan in his cam
paigns are turning to him. Senator
| Tillman, of South Carolina, for in
stance, says that he is willing to &C
cept Judge Parker without having
from him a statement of his political
opinions.
Another argument that is appearing
in the Republican papers is that the
Western wing of the Democratic party
entertains views entirely different
from those held by the Eastern wing,
and that, as Judge Parker holds those
tof the Eastern wing, the Western
Democrats will not support him. 1t
isn't matter of much consequence
what the views of the Democrats of
most of the Western states are, since
the Democratic ticket isn't likely to
| get any electoral votes in the West
ern states, with the exception, per-
haps, of Illinois and Indiana. II the
Western Democrats will hold off and
let the East and the South nominate
the ticket. the East and South will
elect it with a little help from one
of the two Western states named
|
the alleged unpopularity of for
mer Senator Hill. The effort
is to show that Mr.. Hill
dominates Judge Parker, and that in
the event of Democratic success Mr..
Hill would have more influence with
the administration than any other
man. Who is there who knows how
great Mr.. Hills influence with Judge
Parker is? There is no one, in all
probability. Therefore all that is ap-
pearing in the public prints to the
effect that Mr.. Hill would be the pow
err behind the throne in the event of
Judge Parker's election TO the presi-
dency may have little or no founda-
ton in fact. If accounts of Judge
Parker are to be relied upon he isn't
the sort of a man to be dominated by
anybody.
