Mission Of Uncle Samuel.

My tailor doesn't dare to sell me shoddy any more. My sugar comes all sandless from the
 little country store, The bone that's in my sirlOin-Well, it
 never was so small. The steak 1 get is edlble-there is no
 waste at all; The ice 1 buy is weighed for me by an
 inspector man. A government official, and in short the
 entire plan Of living has been changed and so my
 note of joy l bring, Since Uncle Sam has gone to supervis- ing everything. Oh, joy! I've sent my dairyman to thirty
 days in jail! A federal inspector found some water

 that rumors now are rife, He'll soon be in a prison for the bal
 ance of his life. And so 1 say, nay turn has come-tle
 bells of joy may ring, Since Uncle Sam has gone to SuperVis-
 ing everything. My cook, who sworeto quit me or to
 have q raise in pay, I'll have in jail for blackmail ere the
 closing of the day. My barber cut me yesterday-Iu have
 him up before A federal inspector ere the passing day

 hard labor. so I hear. Against the man who Watercd kerosene
 for me last year. This is my time for shouting, for re-
 form is on the wing Since Uncle Sam has gone to supervis-

 before the bars And see the priSOned makers of the
 cabbage leaf cigars On sale uS pure as Havana; and my life
 is like one song, For when 1 go out buying, an inspector
 goes along. only haveto turn to him and say:

NOT THE REAL YA1E SPIRIT.

While a number of Yale Freshmen 10 suffer in as much silence and with as straight a face as they can command. we read that two drunken Yale students distinguished themselves in one of New Haven's 'cafes' by pumping into people, using vile lan- guage. and resenting the interference of a bartender to such an exten, that the bartender is now in the hospital, very uncomfortable with badly frac- tured ankle and other lesions that no- body would want.
 Of course these young gentlemen of Yale are only two in number and they don't fitly represent the whole Univer- sity. We hasten to say this because it is the proper thing to say on such an occasion. But perhaps it is also prop CT to say that they should be caught and dealt with as if they didn't fitly represent their great school. It may further be proper to say that such Is the state of mind of the people of New Haven that they will be surprised if the two young gentlemen of Yale are caught and dealt with as they ought to be. If it happens that they are there will be a sense of justice where theSe is now large and growing sense of injustice.

THE GERMANs IN ANTWERP.

The French aren't yet pleased with the Germans. M. Schwob, an eminent French journalist, has made a sensa- tion in Paris by an article declaring that the Germans have already made an economic conquest of Antwerp as a preliminary to the actual occupation which they mediate in the event of war. "Is it true,'' he asks, "that France is thus threatened by 8 turning move ment which is in close harmony with the habits of our neighbors? While they barley with us about Morocco are they reserving on our own frontier far more formidable incidents which will be provoked at the desired mom'ent?" He then goes on to say that a fifth of the members of the Chamber of Com merce at Antwerp are Germans, the president of German origin and the vice-president recently naturalized German. All it's committees are in vaded by Germans, eight having Ger man chairmen, three others German vice-chairmen and two a completely German official staff It is the same with the arbitration chambers,
 In addition to the 320 German firms in all branches of trade, out of a total of about 1850, M. Schwob says it is impossible for him to enumerate all the business houses which they control in- directly. In the shipping trade of Ant werp they are represented by HOO ves- sels of tonnage, of nearly two and half millions,> as compared with 155 French ships of a total tonnage of 2OO,- 000 Germans also, he says, monopolize

THE MOTOR R-oMN1BUs 1N LONDON

The horse-drawn London omnibus has long been a famous and convenient institution in that great city. There are about 4O,OOO of them, and they each carry about 5000 passengers a week, or about 60O,OOO,OOO in year But the mo- tor omnibus has made it's appearance in London, and while it can't scare the London omnibus horse it may scare it's owners. Anyhow, the motor omnibus can do business in a way that gives great confidence in it's future. It car ries thirty-four passengers a distance of 1S0 miles day, as against twenty six passengers a distance of seventy miles day, which is the record of the horse-draWn vehicle. The number of the motor omnibuses in London is in creasing constantly, and it is estimated that the actual running expenses are less than tenpence a mile. The predic- tion now is confidently made that with in the next three years a sufficient number of the motor vehicles to cope with the 600, O,OOO,OOO of passengers will be placed in service,
 Very likely. This is a world of change. People who are now living may yet see the horse-car fade out of New York.

THE MOTHER-TN-LAW

Men and women who have good mothers-in-laW, and there are many, do not appreciate the jokes and the gibes that are directed against the mother-in-Iaw They will DC pleased with the decision of a Pennsylvania judge that a muther-in-law is entrrir~ to @ home with her son-in-law, who. he said, is duly bound to provide for her. Mrs. Marcella Rink had her son. in-law. Louis Peshink, arraigned before the judge for ejecting her from h;s home against the pleadfngs of Mrs. Peshink, the woman's daughter, Peshink was fined $5 and ordered to provide his mother-in-law a home un- der his own roof.
 We don't know the circumstances of this case, or whether the decision would hold if thoroughly tested, but it is calculated to give pause to those who have been indiscriminate in their attitude toward mothers-in-law. The fact is that mother-in-law may be all right, much more right indeed than her son-in-law or her daughter-in-law, When she is right she is good to nave in the house, and when she isn't per haps it will do mere man no harm to be obliged to have her there He must learn his place somehow, and perhaps there is no more speedy or effective way of teaching him it than by oblig- ing him. to love and cherish hated mother-in-law

John S. Wise, of Virginia, said of Fitzhugh Lee when the latter was run hing for governor of that State that he never would have been heard of had he been named Smith instead of Lee. The general in his campaign speeches com- batted that idea and pointed out that great many noted men had borne the name of Smith. One day he was ad- dressing a large crowd and as usual spoke of great citizens who had worn the despised cognomen. An inebriated citizen waited until the. orator had fin isIled his list. Then he rose and said with tipsy gravity: Say (hic), Gen'l, don't forget old man Smith that (hic) killed Pocahontas."

THE FIFTEENTH A MEN D.
MENT.

The Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
about which so much is heard in the
present campaign, aud to which the
Southern States trace all of til ir
trouble with the negro problem
because it gave that race the right TO
vote, was declared in proc 'amaliol
of the Secretary of State, M,rch 80.
1870, it having been rat fled by the
Legislatures of Iwenty-nine out of the

to agree to support the Constitutional
Amendment, during the discussion
pending its adoption by the Legisla-
ture, in return for the support OF GER
tain individuals for his own candi
dacy for the Senatorship. He adds
new zest to the campaign and, as it is

1t is rumored that the
County Commissioners have
borrowed various sums of money
upon which they pay 6 per
cent. They are temporary
loans for items not levied for
and the point made here is that
certain interest could have been
saved had the loans have been
at 5 per cent, which is easily
gotten these days on good Sc

several hundred dollars could
have been saved to the tax.
