go out and monkey in the snow to

more cold spells than you could find

he started for the kitchen, followed
by Ma. II refuse to be muzzled! I

roost! I am the main guy of this

the efficacy Of my good old mothers
medicine. I am going to make you eat

that syrup as a matter Of vindication!
| Where do you keep your pans? Norah,

So saying Pa resumed work on his

bunch of flattering compliments that
Ma generously threw at him.
The cough cure was finally cooked
to Pas satisfaction, and after it had
been properly cooled and bottled, the
amateur chemist seized n tablespoon

After innumerable delays, the Supreme
Court of the United States has rendered
its decision against the demand of the
State of Missouri for a perpetual %injunc-
ton to prevent the city of Chicago from
.emptying sewage into the drainage canal,
whose waters reach the Mississippi
through the Desplaines and Illinois rivers.
1t was held that on account of the canal
being flushed with 100000 cubic feet of
fresh water from Lake Michigan, the
Illinois had been actually improved in
stead of harmed.

A sufficient excuse for this ineHiciency will be hard
to find. Our warships are neither pressed for time
nor tide; they can stay at anchorage until foSs and
tempestuous seas disappear and until there Is water
enough in shallow places to get out safely into the

The friends of an enlarged navy are cast down by
the inexcusable blunder in New York bay. At a time
when Congress was being importuned to vote large
sums for new warships this collision takes place to
throw cold water on their urging. The question at once
presents itself: Is it worth while to authorize new
ships when those in commission are in incompetent
hands? Would it not be wise to spend money to make
officers capable and trustworthy before making add
tons to our naval strength, only to have the new boats
served by those unified for the task?-Utica Globe.
