A correspondent of the London
Times who has been on the isthmus in
vestigating affairs, asserts that the
army of the Panama republic consists
of twenty officers and three privates.
The Panama army is a world-beater in
the relation of officers to men.
The superintendent of the municipal
lodging house in New York says that
there are 40 per cent more idle men in
the city than at this time last year;
and the superintendent OF the Bowery
mission, in a letter to the New York
Sun, says that his experience not only
confirms this, but justifies him in say
ing that there have never before been
SO many idle men in the city at one
time.
The conspiracy Of the corporations
and public utility companies out in
Colorado to seat Peabody, who was de-
|feated by about 10000 majority, seems
to be collapsing. The plan was to
throw. out ninety precincts in Denver
which gave large Adams majorities and
to do that certain writing experts were
called in and given the ballot boxes.
The experts picked out from these
ballot boxes hundreds of iallots which
they declared were fraudulent and writ
ten by one man, and the plan was to
throw out all these precincts and de-
clare Peabody elected. The Adams men
have taken these so-callec. fraudulent
ballots and sent for the voters who
have come in by the score, picked out
their ballots from those dectared fraud
ulent, and testiiea under oath that
they were the ballots tina: they cast.
This has gone to so great an extent
that the experts are a laughing stock
and the whole scheme seems to be on
the point of collapsing.
There seems to be big row on
among the socialists. Last weeks APP
peal to Reason was wholly given over
to it. 1t appears that some socialist
connected, with thu national headquar-
ters has issued pamphlet giving a
history of Wayland and lis paper. 1t
is shown that the Office vas run for a
long time as a scab Office, regular
"sweat shop as Kicker says. Then
there was strike or a waik out, then
some sort of fix up and all the hands
went back. Now !. appears that Way
land, who is getting old, has been deed
ing his property to his children instead
4
of making common fund out of it as
was promised and expected. Another
charge is that Wayland has been en-
gagged in "cut thrcaL competition with
the other socialist papers, sending out
his paper at Is cents year when he
ought to have charged 10 cents or a
dollar and have given the papers OF
small circulation a chance. There are
some other charges about printing dis
creditable advertisements. In connec-
|tion with this, socialist PAPER printed
in Seattle, announces that it will re-
move to Toledo, Ohio. its announce
ment begins with the following signif-
Icant sentences: "Ihe neaa for So

The statehood bills have at last, after
these many years of promises and
waiting, come to vote n the senate.
They provide for two states only, New
Mexico and Arizona to be one, and the
Indian Territory aid Oklahoma to con-
stitute another. The matter is to be
submitted to the voters in New Mexico
and Arizona and if both territories do
not agree to make one state out OF
the two, then the thing is off. The bill
for the admittance of Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory prohibits the sale
of intoxicating liquors for twenty-one
years and forever after that, unless the
people vote to do away with the pro-
hibition

It was the great eclipse Of Aug. 21
1860, that turned Tycho Brahe into an
astronomer. He was in his fourteenth
year at the time, a Danish boy of no.
BILE origin, and had been destined first
Tor the army and then for the law.
But the accuracy with which the
eclipse was predicted impressed him
with the belief that astronomy was a
divine thing, and thenceforward he de-
voted his life to it. The debt of as
tronomy to Tycho Brahe not only for
bis own work, but as the man who
shaped the genius Of Kepler, can
scarcely be overestimated.

The Yellett family had by this time

the matriarch and the two girls start

the dishes.
That's the kind of book for me-"
continued Mrs. Yellett, vigorously
swishing about in the soapy water.
''Story books don't count none with me
these days. It's my opinion that things
are snarled up a whole lot too much
in real life without Fostering over the
anguish Of print folks. Flesh and
blood suffering goes without groan Of
sympathy from the onlookers, while
novel characters wade to the neck
in compassion.
"Has the Book of Hiram anything to
say against the habit of novel reading,
Mrs. Yellett?" inquired Judith demure-
~.
She paused for moment. Its
mighty inconvenient that should have
mislaid that book, but rounding up my
recollections of it l recall something
like this: Romance is the loco weed of

great company and yet leave you your

But fear can never feel at home

such rueful expression that they
both smiled.
"Perhaps, then, it depends on the
frame of mind. I've had longer than
you to cultivate it,
Mary looked toward the mountains,
serene in their strength. 'Awesome

IV the Yellett household for
something over a week, and
4 4 the intellectual conquest of
her Brobdingnag pupils seemed as hope
less as on that first day. School
seemed to be regarded by them as a
sort of neutral territory admirably
adapted for the settlement OF long
standing grudges, the pleasant ex-
change of practical jokes, peace and
war conferences, also as mart of
trade where firearms, knives, bear and
elk teeth might be snapped with a
greater expenditure of time and con-
versation than under the maternal eye.

and feminine vile won the day. School
which early and unusual hour it con-
tinued, without recess OF interruption,
till noon, when dinner pleasantly in
vaded the scholastic monotony, to the
infinite relief of all parties concerned.
Mary had dismissed her pupils few
minutes before the usual hour on
particularly bad day that she might
rally her scattered faculties and pre-
sent something of a countenance to
the watchful eye Of Mrs. Yeliett With
head sunk in the palms of her hands
and elbows resting on the inverted
tub, Mary presented picture of woe,
in which the wicked element Of COM
edy was not wholly lacking. Looking
up suddenly, she saw Judith Rodney
advancing. The first glimpse Of her
put Mary in more rational mood.
I'm SO glad to see you! Behold my
class room appointments! They may
seem trifie novel, but, for that mat
ter, so are my pupils" began Mary, de-
termining to present the same front to
Judith that she had to Mrs. Yellett.
But Judith was not to be put off. She
looked into Mary's eyes and did not
relax her gaze until she was rewarded
with an answering twinkle. Then
Mary laughed long and merrily, the
first good. hearty laugh since the be-
ginning of her teaching.

Mary Carmichael had noticed as her
alien presence came to be less of
check on Mrs. Yellett's natural medium
of expression that she was much adj
dicted to species Of quotation with
which she impartially adorned her con-
versation, pointed family morals or
administered an occasional roproof.
These family aphorisms were some
times semilegal, sometimes semiscrip-
tural in turn of phrase, and built On
foundation of homely philosophy.
They were ascribed to the Book OF
Hiram" and never failed of salutary
effect in the family circle. But the ant
quotations that she had just heard
piqued Mary's curiosity more than be-
fore.
DO you happen to have copy of
the Book of Hiram, Mrs. Yellett?" she
asked, in all innocence, supposing that
the homely apothegms were to be
found at the back of some patent
medicine almanac Judith Rodney

never before been asked in her hear
