A Reautifni 30.

About four o'clock in the morning
is the time when the flying squirrels
come home from their nights orgies.
and you can then hear a resembling
thump upon the roof then scamper-
Ing Of little feet. then a scramble in
the walls, then conversation in more
or less subducd squeaks. Then.
thump after thump. you hear them
come until they are an home. After
this they gradually quiet down until
ail is still. They wake up again at
dusk OF the following evening when. il
II is fair, they sally forth, but on RAINY
|or stormy nights they do not go out.
An ordinary rat trap will not confne

beautiful little body that by using the
force Of his muscles he can spread the

a rEsr oE soul cAPAelTY.

u ROE FRANK }. MILLER, Of
4 The University Of Chicago, MI
Rockefeller's institution. has been ASK
ng some soul-searching questions Of
the students who aspire TO degrees.
He has propounded series OF queries,
the answers to which viii be duly tab

of each student will stand revealed.

Mr.. Rockefeller? And II SO. is the
dog an intelligent animal? But how
is the Professors question TO be an-
sweredg For the answer to reveal
the higher impulses Of the student he
will have to inquire OF the dog First,
us the dog really lonely. or does he
only appear so? Second. what is his
motive for following YOU? Does he
regard you as suspicious character?
or does he recognize In you kindred
spirit? It's a doggoned peculiar ques-
ton anyway.
Here is another question: Can you
look into mud-puddle and see the
blue sky reflected" II one could. then
he could look into the sky and see the

Can you be happy aloneg' contn-
ues the Professor. Yes, and so can
every other man. but only FOR a time.
Absolute solitude brings madness. a
fact which has been proved by num-
erous examples. Man is gregarious
animal, and through all the centuries
he hasn't been able 10 break the
habit
The professor is bent on discover

but we venture to assert that those

The Euture OF Norway.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
What the future holds for Norway
cannot be told, but it is not impossible
that its people may decide to select
their own ruler from among their own
statesmen and under a constitution of
their own construction, and begin
their national life anew as a republic.
TO the present the nations of the
world have not seen fit TO recognize
Norways independence. although there
can be no doubt as to its sincerity IN
severing the bond with Sweden. King
Oscars refusal to permit one of his
family TO occupy the throne was the
first disappointment, and the reluct-
ance with which the suggestion has
been received by others of royal blood
has not worked for the benefit of a
monarchy. on the other hand, there
appears to be a growing sentiment I'm
favor OF a popular government, al
though the leaders Of the movement
for secession have not been recorded
as favoring il. nor has one Of them put
forward his aspirations as the head of
Ia possible republic. But this condi-
ton cannot continue long. Some ac-
ton must be taken. and unless there is
some favor from the world to Norway
IL may decide to conduct its own bust
ness as IL sees tit.
The Norwegians are sturdy. Their
history is filled with instances tending
TO show their love for liberty. They
have the power to control and govern
themselves II they decide ON that
course and there are no indications
that they could rot look after their
own affairs without the intrigue and
internal troubles so often attending
the formation of new power. Eu-
rope may not approve. but in the pres
ent disturbed condition Norway may
experience no difficulty in finding at
least one powerful ally.

at his suggestion and under .as adj
vice that the colorsd councilman en-
tered into the combination and after
wards carried d tbrongh.
Therefore 80 That matter we see
The henefcent results OF combina-
ton OF the leader Of the Democratic
party and the head Of the Addicks
party. We do not say the head Of the
Onion Republican party. for Addicls
is not Ia fairness we must say that
very few of the real leaders OF the
Union Republican party felt any
thing but disgust AT the deal.
Our purpose in this article is to
measure the eGect Of this remarka-
bic deal upon the future Of the Dem-
ocrauc party OF this state. Now bear
IN m.nG that locally the Democrats
have had thelr planks IN their plat
form The oursa.lment OF the rights of
the negroes. the cry OF Addicks and
denunciation Of corruption. Most peo-
pls know that II was a platform OF
pre,ence but had il been honestly and
consistently maintained it would have
proved invincible.
But in one move under the per-
sonal direction and sanction OF the
Democratic leader the absolute hy-
rocrisy Of democratic protestations
is uncovered. Salisbury on one side
and AddieSs on the other arrange "A
zeal mutually advantageous TO eI
friends Of both. IN other words. Ad-
dicksism is preferred to Republican
ISM SO tho Democrats in the next
canipaign viii hardly have the pre-
sumption to denounce Addicks or Ads

The cry Of white mans party
IS. OF course, disposed Of. IT, an in
slant the pretense Of forty years In
which the salisbury name had been
foremost was disposed Of The color
ed man is good enough to vote and TO
hold office providing he consorts with
the Democrats
This leaves orc other plank in the
platform Of Democracy for discuss
sion. How about corruptionq Well.
We ve.it TO our readers to determine
just how far it was am element in this
deal. But one phase may be mem
toned. The consideration for the six
Democratic votes was not the public
interests-there is no pretense of that.
1t was six votes Tor one vote. which
meant some offices for the Democrats
and other Offices for Addicks' men. II
was a trade and it comes about as
near corruption as any bargain can.
IN view OF these facts. we want to
know what the paramount issue Of the
Democratic party win be next year?

change for two petty offices and to
