Muskrat CAUGHT by a Tin Box.

A large muskrat, with its head fast
in a rusty sardine box, was caught
recently in the Susquehanna near the
lower bridge at Milton, Pa.
It was seen swimming around in the
river without apparent direction or
purpose. 1t did not resemble any
species Of four legged animal known
to the oldest inhabitant along the
West Branch until it was caught and
the sardine can was removed from
its head. Then 1t looked like any
other big muskrat.

knotty Question for Commission.


A curious commission has been sit
ting at the French ministry of war
1t is to decide what kind of bed is tc
be provided for the soldiers Of the
French army. So far, the soldiers
bed has been mattress laid upon
boards or else canvas stretched on
boards like particularly hard ham,
mock. The fatherly M. Berteaux, war
minister, whose policy is to kill anti.
militarism by kindness, proposes to
give the soldier a spring under his
mattress. But what kind of spring?
And when that spring is chosen, what
kind of mattress will be best to go
on the top of it? These be complicated
questions, and commission whose
work is being carefully recorded was
the least important body that could
hope to answer them. 1t is toiling

The Empire of Dollars.

Wall Street is the capital of the
Empire of Dollars. Like all other
capitals, it has its intrigues, its favor
ties, it's duels, it's cabals, and its ca.
marillas; and, like all other capitals,
it gives it's color to those who spend
their lives there. 1t has even a sort
of patriotism-"wolf honor"-which
brings it's citizens together, at times,
in defense of the dollar and of prop
erty right.
The Empire of Dollars is not al
together a noble spectacle. We are
not thrilled at the mere thought of
those Venice bankers who financed"
the Crusades. We do not like to think
of those Wall Street manipulators
who tried to corner the gold supply
during our Civil War, when the nat
ion needed gold.-Samuel Merwin in

While Sitting Bull with his 5000
warriors was engaged in the annihi'
lation of Gen. Custer and his devoted
following of troopers, Major Reno's
squadron of the Seventh cavalry was
battling with a band of Sioux not
many miles away in the country of
the Little Big Horn.
The Custer massacre" overshadow-
ed all the other Indian fights which
took place in that red month of June
in the year 1876, and thus 1t is that
but little is known outside the circles
Of the army about the gallant fight
which the unfortunate Reno and his
men put up that day against the
swarming hordes of sayages.
After it was known that Custer
and his command had been killed
there was criticism of Major Reno for
not pushing forward to Clusters as
sistance. The major had been given
orders to take another trail, and when
he felt the shaft of criticism he de-
manded that a court of inquiry be
convened to pass upon his conduct.
The court met, heard the evidence
and found him blameless.
Later in his army life Reno, a man
of tried courage, committed indiscre-
tons which resulted in a court-mar.
tial and sentence of dismissal from
the army in which he had served in
peace and in war for years.
sergt. Hanley's Brave Act.
There was an incident in connec-
ton with Reno's fight with the reds
nearly thirty years ago, concerning
which the only facts set down in
army history are that for a specific
act of gallantry on that field of battle
Sergeant Richard p. Hanley was
awarded medal of honor. The non
commissioned officer received his dec
Grafton for riding mule, a danger
Gus proceeding on that day of battle
so precarious that neither Hanley
nor his comrades believed when the
ride began that it could end in any
thing but death.
Reno found himself confronted by
tremendous force Of Indians. The
fight that ensued was one of the fierc-
est ever fought on the plains. A
charge made by part Of Reno's COM
mand, charge that literally led the
troopers into the jaws of death, turn
ed the tide of defeat, though score
of officers and men gave up their
lives that victory might come.
The men In Reno's command knew
that they were match for five times
their number of savages, but they
were short of ammunition and every
time that the Sioux were driven away
they returned again to the assault
and every assault cost the troopers
dear in powder and lead.

Monkeys Helped to Build Railroad

Some years ago number of British
engineers employed monkeys to assist

It appears that score Of monkeys

and the engineers in charge, rightly
believing that the initiative faculties
of he creatures would render them

NOT ENOUGH.

The statement comes over the Atlan- tic that an English judge has decided that s1.s0 is enough for a man to pay for his wife's Easter bonnet. If that is English justice none of it is wanted in this land of the free and home of the brave. One dollar and eighty cents enough for an Easter bonnet? Not when more can be paid. What is a proper sum to pay for an Easter bon net? We do not exactly know, but on general principles the sum should be enough to get bonnet that will eom-. pare favorably with any other bonnet in the procession. And if the best bon net can be got, that is the one to get, regardless of price. One dollar and eighty cents wont get it.
 By and by the Easter bonnets will make their appearance in this favored region. They will be beauties and they will cost money, And no man worthy the name will begrudge their cost, or appeal to any judge to fix limit to the price. We don't do things that way in this country. Our women have what they. want, and the best is none too good or teo costly for them.

/. ONE mORH DisCo URAGED.

Ex-Senator William Lindsay, of Ken 1 lucky, a Democrat and a Jeffersoniani Democrat, is almost as much discour- aged as some New Haven Democrats are. He believes that nothing short of miracle can prevent the nomination of William Jennings Bryan by the
 Democrats in 1908. He thinks the Dem ocratic party of to-day is running a. race with the Republicans and Popu- ] lists to see which can be most radical. He is inclined to laugh at the sugges- ton of Colonel Bryan that national
 politics needs purification, and is wait ing for the latter to propose a method of moral reformation. He says further: l National politics of the present day has settled down to a contest between Bry- anism and Republicanism to determine which can advance toward eentraliza- ton with. the greatest rapidity. New York Democrats will hold meeting next month to commemorate the birth day of Thomas Jefferson. It will be a remarkablething if any sentiment is expressed there in harmony with the underlying principles of the Democratic party as taught by Thomas Jefferson.
 In order. to realize how far the party
 has got away from the standard set by the early leaders it is only neees-
 sary to read Jefferson's first inaugural
 address if you wish to know what pure
 democracy means, and then look
 around and see if you can find na-
 tional party advocating and confining
 itself to the principles enunciated there.
