HENRY 1Rv1Na's Observation-Disclosures.

IKE many other men Of genius, Sir Henry Irving had
l. sudden periods. Of observation-disclosures which means:
says Marshall T. Wilder, the popular entertainer and lee
turer, that his mind is for the time being not only absent,
but, on: the contrary, entirely present, and working at the
rate of an hour. a minute. This is the way Wilder illustrates:
-MtOne day while we were driving together he turned to
me and said
":EMarshal, I have a story: you can add to your collec-
tion-a very quaint one.'
t''Then he went into deep thought, and we had gone fully
a block before he spoke again. Then he said:
"".tAnd: you know
Citizen we went another block, then another; when sud
denly he asked: .~
CHOW, wasn't that drol1?'
TT certainly was continues Mr.. Wilder, t'no matter
what it was. But Sir Henry still owes me that story, for
he told it only to himself"

THE U OF ARMS,

7 N THE arsenals of France, according to a French paper,
l there are $S,000,000 worth of antiquated and useless
artillery. The French navy uses fifty or sixty different
models of guns, which makes the question Of furnishing
plojectiles very difficult, and the powder used in the navy
is so unstable that one-quarter of it has to be changed every
year. It lasts on board ship only five years, and in hot
climates only two years.
According to a leading German paper, the kaiser has or
dered the introduction of a new uniform in the army. It
will be between gray and green in color. The uniform is to
be supplied to all artillery and infantry regiments, but not
to the cavalry, as it has not yet been decided what tint is
most suitable for this branch.

THE SAME THING.

THE late Gustave C. Reichhelm, the noted chess analyst
| and problem composer of Philadelphia, was a quiet and
mild man, with a horror Of s~quabbles, noise and excitement.
Mr. Reichhelm was once dragged out of his peaceful
retirement = said a Philadelphian. HE had to go to New
York to testify in a libel suit.
I'm his cross-examination the lawyer for the defense,
unaware that he was dealing with a man of Mr.. Reichhelm's
note, said with a sheer:
"I hope it isn't true that you said you were willing to
testify for the other side if they would pay you better?'
oh, no; that isn't true, Mr.. Reichhelm answered
calmly. But suppose it had been true-then let me put the
same question to you. IF you had been offered a bigger fee,
wouldn't you have been on the other side yourself9'"

THE R M

DRUNKENNESS has Of late been charged in England
against the students Of the University Of Oxford. Of
this charge Percival Farrar, an Oxford man, said in Detroit:
.s@fsNow and then young men drink too much at Oxford, but
to accuse them generally Of drunkenness is quite unpardon-
able and false.
"Such an accusation is to my mind absurd, like the zac-
cusation of idleness made against the students of the great
German universities.
As.sAttendance at lectures is not compulsory in Germany,
and there are all sorts Of yarns about the students idle
ness. They say that a young man in Heidelberg once APP
preached another young man and asked:
HsWhe are the university %buildings?'

It'll really don't know. / am a student here myself. g

HOW MARKHAM SUPPRESSED A BOOK,

= ECENTLY a man called on Edwin Markham, author Of
II "The Man with the Hoe, > we are told by Success, and
introduced himself as the writer Of a book on which, he said,
he had spent twenty-five years Of study and research. Mr..
Markham, who is unusually kind in listening to and counsel
ing with amateur authors, Immediately felt that one who has
spent a quarter of a century on his work is rare, and he in
vited him to his study without delay.
"What is the nature Of your Work9' asked Mr.. Mark
ham.
IT have written the, greatest book Of the ages began
the new author; II have solved the mystery Of the world.
/ know all about it.: I am prepared to prove my statements.
I know just why the world was made, who really made it,
and. I have laid bare the mysteries Of creation. II
"My good man. said Mr.. Markham, interrupting him,
''ttif you have come to me for advice, let me tell you to take
your manuscript at once and burn it. If you have solved
the mystery Of this world, you are its greatest enemy. Why
continued. the poet, IF you have solved the mystery Of the
world you have robbed men of their greatest joy. You have
left us nothing to work for, you have destroyed our ambi-
ton, you have reduced us to mere animals. It is the mys-
teries of theowoEld that have. made it great, and I, for one,
don + waptrto have them solved"

An interesting phase Of the present

airy sentiment at this time. So long
as Cuba was prosperous and the Army

fact that a great number of Cubans all

ment of their claims for war service
was an excellent check upon any
ebullition of warlike spirit which
would weaken the paying power of
the government Led thereto by the
prospect of large profit, American in

counted these claims, so that the
veterans of the war no longer have a

Editor Taylor of the LaMoure
Chronicle has probably not read with
any care, if at all, those articles
Judicial Indiscretion" and ''Non-
partizanship in the Judiciary else he
would not refer to them as "hot air"
The facts in those articles stand out
like the rock of Gibraltar resisting
any attack from the opposition. In
fact no contradiction is made by the
democratic or insurgent press. The
statements in those articles cannot be
successfully combatted. The "hot
air" comes from the other direction.
However here is an item from the
Chronicle indicating that Taylor is
not entirely impervious to appeals of
reason: "In the opinion of The
Chronicle the present railway COM
mission, of which Hon. C. S. Deisem is
chairman, has accomplished more
practical good and been of greater
service to the people of this state than
any other commission since statehood.
A handsome endorsement of the com
mission at the polls next month would
seem to be in proper order"

REFERENDUM As a REMEDY. T..

The reckless manner in which city
governments have given away public
franchises and granted monopolies
without remuneration is an outrage on
the rights of the people and con-
vincing argument in favor of calling
halt in this line of public robbery in
the future. If the people who pay
taxes, who do business, who work,
will take the time to read and analyze
the published proceedings Of city
councils they must appreciate the
wanton disregard of their rights on
the part of their servants. They will
not wonder that the sentiment in
favor of public ownership Of public
utilities is taking root in unexpected
places and with increased vigor.
While it is proper that every en-
couragement be given to development,
to capital and to enterprise the bene-
fits ought to be mutual, not one-sided
