A Matter Of Mathematics.

Representative slcmp is the only
Republican who publicly predicts that
Judge Lewis will be elected to the gov
ernorshlp this fall. Judge Lewis says
he is ''hopeful." Chairman Bascom slemp
says the Republicans have a good
chance" to win.
There were s0,51l votes cast lin the
Democratic primary a few days ago..
The vote cast Cor Roosevelt in Virginia
last fall was 47,SSO Where arc the other
votes TO como from that are necessary to
the election OF Judge Lewis?
Chairman Semp said in his speech at
Harrisonburg that politics Is business.
Without undertaking to say exactly what
Mr.. Slemp meant by that expression, let
us regard 1t as true. Where will no get
the votes needed to land Judge LOWS
In the gubernatorial chair? The election
of Mr.. Swanson cnn be reduced to a
mathematical demonstration. The talk
of the slemps about the Republicans car
ryng Virginia may have had tho effect
of making Chairman Cortelyou breach
that bar'l contniningaa million or SO left
over from the campaign last fall. This
may have proved useful in paying capt.
tation taxes In the Ninth District.
Otherwise, the Ninth District Republic
cans would have had to 90 down in
their pockets this year as we'll as next
in order to have the party In shape to
vote in tho congressional election in tho
Ninth District in 1906.

Ri.hop Clark and the Polite Stranger.

Bishop Clark and the Polite Stranger.
There was no limit to the humor-
Gus situations for which the Right
Rev. Thomas L. Clark. Bishop of
Rhode Island, was responsible. Some
years ago while attending a lecture
in Boston, he observed man sitting
three seats in front whom he thought
Re knew. He requested the person
sitting next to him to punch" the
other individual with his umbrella.
The polite stranger did so, and the
disturbed person turning his head a
little, Bishop Clark discovered his
mistake. 1t was not the person he
supposed. Fixing his attention steadi-
ly on the lecturer, and affecting un-
consciousness of the whole affair, he
left the man with the umbrella to
settle with the other for the dis
turbance, and this man being wholly
without an excuse, there was, OF
course, a ludicrous and embarrassing
scene, during all Of which Bishop
Clark wss profoundly interested in
the lecturer.
At last the man with the umbrella
asked, rather Indignantly: Didn't
you tell me to punch that person
with my umbrella?"
YES"
And what did you want?"
81 wanted to see whether you
would punch him or not"

HE WoR A GREAT UNION MAN
John B. Mcdonald, long before he
dreamed of building the subway, took
a contract to build row Of flats In
Harlem, says the New York Times. On
arriving at the scene OF his labors one
morning, he was shocked to learn that
one Of the hodcarriers had been killed
by falling from the fifth floor to the
cellar the evening before. Mr.. McDon-
aid was told that the man had slipped
at the sixth floor, but managed to
grasp a beam at the fifth. and had
hung on to 1t for fifteen minutes, while
his fellow workmen were making fran
tic efforts to rescue him.
I'VE had a ladder in position" said
the foreman, "and in wan more minyit
we'd hove been able to save him. His
grip on the bame was as strong as
liver when he let go, but he sacrificed
himself to the cause Of labor. and died
a martyrs death. 1t was beeyootiful
sor!"
What do you mean by a martyrs
death?" said Mr.. Mcdonald. angrily
why didn't the fool hang on?"
"Shure, sor," said the foreman, wip-
ing away a tear, "he wor a great union
man, an phwin he heard the whistle
blow he knew his eight hours wor up
and there was no choice left for him
but to quit"

Certainly. Why not?"
II thought you had a spark of

THE CORRESPONDENTS REVENGE
When Alfred Henry Lewis, the author,
was a correspondent at Washington for
a Missouri paper, says the Saturday
Evening Post, he had a difficulty with
Governor Dockery, who was then a
member Of the house of representa-
tives.
Lewis cast about for a suitable re-
venge. After thinking about the mat
ter for some days he wrote an inno-
cent paragraph for his paper which
said that Mr.. Dockery. who Is a rich
man, had decided to give large por-
ton Of his wealth to the various
churches Of Missouri, and had begun
by sending checks for $500 to churches
in st. Joseph and Kansas City.
Then he sat back and waited. Dock
cry was begging for mercy in less than
a week. Every church in the state
almost, had written for its share
Lewis printed another paragraph say
ing that Mr.. Dockerys contributions
would not be made for some years
and since that time Dockery has been
scrupulously polite.

The Majority is Not
Always Right

The tontine or deferred dividend
scheme was first applied to life insur-
aEce about Al years ago. 1t was rep
resented to the public as being the
proper plan. Gradually 1t was adopted
by practically all the companies ex-
cept the Mutual Benefit, the Massa.
chusetts Mutual, Connecticut Mutual
and State Mutual Of Massachusetts,
These companies adhered to their ori-
ginal plan Of paying each policy hold
er his profits annually. Recently the
insurance departments Of Massachu-
setts, New York and other states have
denounced deferred or tontine divi-
dend companies, and especially the
three so called giants. In unmeasured
terms, and recommended that the
laws be so amended as to require an
annual distribution of the profits to
all policy holders. The Mutual Benef'
Is now and has always been the Lead

WHAT HE FoUND.-During the South
African war, when that country was
under martial law, letters sent home
by British soldiers had to pass through
the hands of a censor.
A private in a Yorkshire regiment
had sent four or five letters home. tell
ing his parents about the doings of
his regiment, and portions had been
obliterated by the censor and were
therefore illegible on their arrival. AT
the foot of the next letter he wrote:
please look under the stamp"
At the censor's office the letter was
opened and read as usual. The officer
In charge spent some time In steaming
the stamp from the envelope, so that
he could read the message which he
was certain he would find there. At
last his patience was rewarded, but
his feelings can be better imagined
than described when he read these
words:

THE BUILDING AND LoAN.-What
great work the building and loan as
sociations are doing for the wage
earners Of the country! Five thou
sand of these associations are repre-
sented in the convention now in session
in New York. 1t develops from the
secretary's report that the total as
sets of the local building and loan as
sociations In the United States Is now
$500, ,342.568. which is a net increase
for the year Of $20,7S6,474. The total
membership in 1,631,04S, a net increase
for the year of 64,346. These figures
tell the story Of the increase Of power
and financial influence Of the local
building and loan associations Of the
United States. when we consider"
says the secretary. that these 100000
members of these associations are
largely wage -earners, who have accu-
mulated $600,000,O00 In small savings
from the fruits of their labors, and
that most of this money has gone into
building up communities by the erec-
ton Of new houses, we can better real
ize what tremendous force Of good
the associations are" The case was
never more clearly presented. The
building and loan is a great institu-
tion.-Charlotte Chronicle.
