Dewey and siahtseers.

Admiral Dewoy's peace of mind
has been greatly disturbed lately,
according to the Philadelphia Post,
by the nuisance of sightseeing au-
tomobiles," each carrying thirty OF
forty people, which stop in front OF
his home in Washington three times
a day in the effort to get a glimpse
of the admiral and Mrs, Dewey
Even more annoying than the stare
of forty pairs of eyes is the witticism
of the guide, who shouts through
the megaphone in a voice that can
be heard block away:
"The red house to your right
given by the American people to Ad-
miral Dewey, who destroyed the
Spanish fleet in Manila bay and
came to Washington to be captured
by a lone woman"

Amerioa,s Mineral Product.

A recent British home office re-
port on the mineral production of
the world shows that the United
States stands second to the British
empire in the production of gold,
but far ahead in the production of
silver, copper and lead. In copper
our superiority is the greatest, more
than one-half of the worlds entire
supply coming from mines in the
United States. This country also
stands first in the amount of coal
produced, and Great Britain is Sec
ond in the list. The British coal,
however, is sold for a considerably
larger aggregate price. In the pro-
duction Of zinc Germany stands
first. The United States ranks sec
ond.

Abraham Lincoln's Kindness to Bird
In Distress.

NGi aIlaH %iHCOl0 TNludn0SS TO DlTC
In Distress.
In the early pioneer days, when
Abraham Lincoln was young at
torney and erode the circuit" he
was one day travelling on horseback
from one town to another with a
party of friends who were lawyers
like himself.
The road which they travelled led
across prairies and through woods.
AS they passed by grove where the
birds were singing merrily they no.
ticed baby bird which had fallen
from the nest and lay futtering by
the roadside.
After they had gone short dis,
lance Mr.. Lincoln stopped, turned
and said: "Wait for me a moment.
1 will soon rejoin you"
AS his friends halted and watch
ed him they saw Mr.. Lincoln return
to the place where the helpless bird
lay on the ground and tenderly take
it up and set it on limb near the
nest.
When he rejoined his companions
one of them laughingly asked, "Why
did you bother yourself and delay
us with such trife as that ?"
Abraham Lincoln's reply deserves
to be remembered. "My friend"
said he, 81 can only say this-that l
feel better for it. l could not have
slept tonight if had left that help
less little creature to perish on the
ground. Our Dumb Animals.

The Will of the People.

Governor Bell laid good deal of
stress on what he called "the ex-
pressed will of the people" in his
hesitation at granting renrieve- to
the condemned woman at Windsor.
1t is true the Legislature, after a
long debate, refused to commute the
sentence of Mrs. Rogers to life i'm
prisonment or to abolish capital pun
ishment, but in view of the public
horror of an official hanging and the
overwhelming demand for reprieve,
does Governor Bell think this de-
NAL was the voice of the people, or
do the lawmakers, or does anybody
else?
There has been the usual re-
lentless demand for the stern en-
forcement of the law in this case be-
cause it was the law, though brutal
and debasing, and made for less
enlightened age when might was
right and lingering death was the
only soothing balm for ruffled dig
nifty. This majesty of the law is a
good thing to brighten people some
times, but if a Legislative act pinches
the individual citizen, takes dollar
out of his pocket or abridges his
fishing privileges he is readyto blow
up the capitol or do almost anything
to get around the law; it's DEGREES
are then not so much matter of
justice and inspiration-not if they
iniure him. And if this same Eek
pressed-will-of-the-people" doesn't
count in one case it shouldn't in an
other. 1t is a good time to think
over these things when human
life, rather than the matter of taxes,
is at stake.

political boss of the United States.
According to Mr.. Sibley, Kiping
went to Beaver and called on the sena-
tor, whom e found ass we'll as usual,
in his library. The talk was about
books. In a short time, so it seemed
to the British writer, Mrs. Quay came
in, and, after Mr.. Kipling had been
presented, she urged him to stay to tea
Kipling stayed, and after tea he and
the senator returned to the library
which was such a one that he did not
expect to find in any home in America
More talk about books followed, until,
to Kiplling's amazement, the clock
struc IL. Then, mindful Of his COM
mission, he made arrangements to
call again next day. Going to the tele-
graph office, Kipling wired his pub
Usher something like this:
"Unableto find the boss politician.

sions about the best literary critic in
