Please dine with me tomorrow at o'clock" was the answer of the sa- want. The student complied Two other guests were present one of whom was elegantly dressed, while the other was rather uncouth, noisy and extremely con .ceited. After dinner the pupil rose to take leave, and as he shook hands with his teacher he remarked: The problem s very simple after all; the quiet, we'll dressed gentleman is certainly distin- guished in some line, but the other is as certainly a lunatic and ought at once to be locked up" You are wrong, my friend,' replied Esquirol with a smile 'sThe quiet, well-dressed man who talks so rational has for years labored under the delusion that he is God. .he Father; whereas. the other man, whose exuber- ance and self-onconceit have surprised you. is M.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Did Togo Use Submarines I
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Until more definite information than
has yet come to hand is available II
would be wise not TO assume that
ITogo's triumph IN Korea Strait was in
any measure do to the use Of SUBJ
marine boats. That Japan has a num-
Der Of craft OF that description is be-
yond dispute, but whether they were
called into play last Saturday and Sun
day is another question. The supposi-
tion that they have performed actual
service seems to have no support at
present except guesswork The sud-
denness with which Roiestvenslkys =
flagship and one or two other Russian
vessels were sunk renders ii credible
that they were hit by floating mines
or else by automobile torpedoes, but
the latter could be launched as easily
by destroyers as by submarine boats
Considering the circumstances under
which the battle was fought. perhaps
Togo might have regarded the destroy
ers the more convenient agent TO em-
ploy for that purpose.
1t must be remembered that the de-
stroyers were unable 10 develop a
speed of from twenty-five to thirty
knots, being much faster than Togo 8
cruisers or battleships. on the other
hand. Is Is doubtful II a submarine boat
half or wholly submerged. could travel
at more than six or eight knots. Had
the Japanese known with certainty on
which side of the Tsu Islands the Rus
sian fleet would pass, they could have
posted submarines in positions OF great
usefulness. OF course, If Togo had a
sufficient number Of them, he might
have made such arrangements I'm both
the eastern and western channels, so
as to provide for every possibility. II
time enough to do so IN advance had
not been afforded, after the intentions
of Rojestvensky We're revealed, Togo
could have utilized them only by hav-
ing them accompany him when he
emerged from his hiding place for the

traverse istance of thirty or forty
miles In order to reach the head Of the
Russian procession. Despite the un-
certain cover Of fog. much depended
on the swlftness of his movements.

cap himself with boats which were

That Mr.. Bonaparte viii perform the

Bonaparte is not in the ordinary sense

THE POSTAL DEFICIT.

II HE announcement thai the deficit
u in the Postohice Department for
the fiscal year will reach Si5,OO0,OO0 is
not altogether surprising when we re-
member that most Of it has been spent
IN opening new rural delivery routes.
Nor need we hastily conclude that
IN adopting the rural delivery system
we have taken on our shoulders a bur
den which is likely to grow heavier as
the years pass. For the system has
been in operation long enough for us
to learn that the longer routes are es-
tablished the nearer they come to pay
ing for their maintenance.
The last year has witnessed great
extensions in all parts of the country.
and naturally the expense OF estab-
fishing them has been great while it Is
too early to derive the benefit from in
creased revenue. But any way. II It
costs double the sum charged to it, the
rural delivery system has proved too
valuable to be given up. A proper pos

A Road for a Bridge.

Editor of The Evening Journal:
The worlds great dramatist more
than 800 years ago laid down a rule
that will secure for Brandywine hum
dred some long talked OF roads and
bridges. For he said that there is a
tide in the affairs of men which II
taken at the flood leads on to fortune
The tide" in the present case is the
overhead Edge Moor bridge which the
Edge Moor owners and the railroad
company seem to need. The fortune
to be obtained for our hundred is an
avenue from Eleventh street bridge to
the Edge Moor road, there connecting
with the River road"
The Todd and Mendinhall farms are
to be laid out in lots. We will then
have free of cost a connected street
from the Brandywine to the Robinson
farm (owned by the railroad COM
pany). BY crossing the railroad farm
on the westerly part and crossing the
Sellers woods Just above their dam on
the shellpot and crossing the Talley
land we reach the Edge Moor road. a
very simple affair to get a road so
long looked forward to by hundreds
living along the river district, on to
Claymont.
But how will we get across the rail-
road and Sellers landsg BY a dona-
tion from these owners OF the right Of
way. But viii they give the right Of
way2 OF course they will. They cam
not refuse It If they ask for and have
granted for their especial benefit one
third Of a mile Of the Edge Moor road
for the overhead bridge. one good
turn deserves another. A fair swap is
always in good taste, and is exact
justice between neighbors.
Now IL is up to the railroad company
and the Edge Moor owners and the
Talley people to say whether they
want both the bridge and this long COW
eted avenue. Let those who have
spoken long and loud for the bridge
get their bridge by the honorable and
just method OF a fair exchange. When
you argue for the bridge demand also
the avenue.
IL seems easy sliding now both for
the bridge and the new road. This
road win greatly aid the future freight
traffic at the Edge Moor yards and give
these Edge Moor owners and workmen
a short and easy road TO the Bridge
Works. The dihiculties OF the Quarry

and Mendinhall people have rendered
a great service at this juncture and

A THRILLING RIDE.
Swept Down a Mountain Side on a
Colorado Snowslide.

'My first experience with a snow
slide was at Creede, Colo.," writes
DIR. j. Q. Allen of Telluride, in that
state. 81, with three other men,
was on the side of a mountain look
ing at some mining property. We
were above timber line and about
halfway from the bottom of the
gulch to the top of the mountain.
l did not think at the time Of dan
ger, as the snow where we we're was
only about eighteen inches deep.
The field suddenly cracked, and the
snow below us moved down foot
OF two. This took away the support
of an immense mass Of snow above
us, where it had blown over the top
of the ridge to a depth of fifteen or
twenty feet. 1t broke at the crest
of the ridge, and all the snow on our
side of the mountain curved around
us in a circular manner, and the
width Of the slide was more than
1000 feet, we being in the center.
81 glanced up on hearing the snow
break and, acting upon my first i'm
pulse, turned my back to the ava
lanche. 1t struck me first on the
legs, and 1 sprang into the air as
high as / could. The mass passed
under me, and by the terrific rush
of the snow 1 was kept on the top
all the way down into the gulch,
about 800 feet. / was the only one
free and proceeded to dig the others
out As the snow frequently packs
after running almost to the con-
sistency of ice, this was no easy mat
ter.
"It happened that the man next
to me was buried in a perpendicular
position with only his hair visible
I had to free his body down to the
ankles before / could pull him out.
The last man reached was dead when
extrieated. The rest of us escaped
with slight bruises. 1t was the next
July before articles we lost were
found. Chicago News.

Wanted the Job.

One of the southern senators re-
counts a conversation that once took
place between a friend of his-a
business man in Mobile-and a col

"Well," said the business man
after the recital had been made of
the darky's qualifications, 81 should
like to give you the place, but I'm
afraid I can't do so, for / understand
you are married. For special reasons
i desire for this place a single man. "
An expression of the deepest dis
appointment came to the dusky
countenance of the applicant. Final
ly, after a short silence, during
which he mumbled to himself by
way of reflection, he asked, hopefully
and eagerly, "Well, boss, if dat's de

70 Chicago journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
Flats and nat owners refuse TO receive
families with children TO a large extent
One unquestioned result is that those
whose means enable them TO live in fats,
as distinguished from tenements. have
few or no children. In the tenement
houses there is sign Of diminution in
the birth rate.
Both Chicago and New York are now
wrestling with the proposition that the
law must intervene TO permit parents
with children free and uninterrupted ac-
cess TO apartment houses az all times.
It seems TO be the impression that by
diminishing the size Of families in fats,
while those IN tenements go on with no
indication of decrease, the fittest are in
some mysterious manner not permitted 10
survive. In this way, It is thought, the
quality Of mankind deterorates.
But laws Of nature. such as that Of the
survival Of the fittest, do not work out
that way. II is the fact Of survival
which proves fitness.
The child OF the fiat family disappears
because the world has need Of few or
none Of him. the tenement house child
continues TO thrive and populate the earth
because his presence is necessary.
This fact is respectfully submitted to
the Aldermen of Chicago and New York.
IT was p fact before they were thought
OF, and it will remain a fact after they
are forgotten. If they have so much
spare time that they must monkey with
natural laws, let them take up the ques-
tion Of weather--we have heard a num-
Der of persons say lately that they
thought It could be improved upon.
All OF which is quite regardless Of the
fat owners unquestioned legal and vest
ed rights In his own property.
