HAzINc AT ANNAPOLIS

The two forms Of hazIng most popu-
lar at Annapolis are standing on
head and the sixteenth exercise" In
the first mentioned, the plebe puts his
hands on the floor and lifts his feet
rapidly clear Of the ground for any
number of times directed. In the SIX
teenth exercise of setting UP the hands
are on the hips, and the sufferer rises
on toes, squats with bended knees,
and rises. A hundred repetitions OF
this will make strong man tired.
TO get crowd Of plebes in a room
and make them tell stories, climb upon
wardrobe at the order Lay aloftl"
and furl sail "a sheet is as much fun
for them as for the hazers, and clever
plebes are often able to turn the laugh
on their prosecutors, to the amusement
Of all hands. But when an upper class
man takes advantage of his position to
further a personal animosity against a
Junior by persecution especially in off,
eial reports. which cost the Junior
class standing and mental worry, 1t
becomes brutal and cowardly.
AS an answer to the question, els IL
possible to stamp out the practice of
hazlng?" all that need be said is that
It has been stamped out ut West Point.
Hazlng Is a custom which cannot be
regulated, because 1t cannot be recog-
nized 1t must either be punished with
a stern hand or IL must be ignored.
There Is no halfway liberation about It..

A CHANCE FOR HACK WRITERS

II the Rev. e. P. Roe, who used to
grow strawberries and write novels up
at Cornwall-in-the-H Hudson, were still
alive, a thrilling romance with the
San Francisco disaster as it's motif
might be confidently predicted within
the next few weeks Mr.. Roe was
nothing If not timely. The novel that
brought him his first fame and money
enough to retire from the ministry on
was Barriers Burned Away with the
Chicago fire for its scene, published
only q few weeks after the big fire.
The Charleston earthquake was not
three months old before Mr.. Roe's
1.-THE Earth Trembled" was on the list
of the six best sellers of that day.
There is no doubt, however, that
there will be books enough on the San
Francisco horror in a few weeks. One
concern in Philadelphia that takes con-
tracts to write, illustrate and print
books of any size on any subject, is
already gathering material for a His
tory of the Great San Francisco Dis
aster" that will be offered by the
omnipresent book agent to the rural
populace before this years crops are
realized on.-New York Globe.

URGE sHRrNHRS FOR 1907

The prevailing sentiment among the
visiting shrinefs, who arc here in
eoodly numbers despite the cold feet
OF their potentate. is that Los Angeles
IL Just too fine a city to leave; that they
are going to stay as long as their rail-
road tickets will permit; that they don't
want TO leave at all. and that their next
meeting will be held here in spite Of ell
the Canuck frozen pedal extremities In
Toronto.
In all these sentiments Of the fez-
wearers Los Angeles heartily joins We
knew before they came how charmed
they would be with this city. and how
reluctant to depart. We are holding
them here days beyond their allotted
time, and will continue TO keep them
as long az they will remain. And that
numbers of them will return as per-
manent residents goes without saying;
they always do that.
on only one OF these points, therefore,
must Los Angeles exert itself to get the
meeting in 1907. Steps toward that end
are already taking. Los Angeles desire
has been published and its right is con-
ceded. ST. Paul, its only rival has
gracefully stepped aside, and no other
city will oppose us. The rank and file
will eagerly accept Los Angeles invi-
tation.
However, official action in Chicago in
June is necessary to assure Los Ange-
les wish. The head of the official body
is the same Collins who punctured the
city's hopes this time. He will have
large voice in the decision. Los Ange-
les must bring such pressure to bear
on Collins that he will find it impossible
to oppose the feelings of the entire
order, as he did this year.
Let every Los Angeles Shriner start
right now to write his brother Shriners
who didn't come here, soliciting their
aid. Let the temple here get busy with
every other temple in the land, urging
It's help. Let every member Of the i'm
perial council be bombarded with de-
mands on Los Angeles behalf. And let
every camel in the order everlastingly
hump himself so that no possible
chance for failure will exist. Los An
geles wants that 1907 meeting and must
have it.

A REcToR's STRANGE FUNERAL

A curious request regarding his
funeral was made by the Rev. Paulet
Mildmay Compton, for fifty-eight
years rector of Mappleton, a few days
before his death recently.
The body was placed in a plain oak
coffin and, covered with primroses,
was conveyed by means of a farmer S
wagon, drawn by team of four
horses, to the railway station, nine
miles away. The tails and names of
the animals were plated with straw
and the team was handled .bw a
shocked driver.
The cortege was followed by a large
crowd of villagers, to whom the aged
rector had endeared himself during his
over half a century's ministrations.
At the railway station special train
was In waiting, and the coffin, wagon
and horses were conveyed to Romsey,
near Southampton. Here the coffin
was again placed on the wagon and
conveyed to Minsted, the seat of the
Compton family.-London Mirror.

ON TRIAL FOR soRcERY

A strange sight was seen in Justice
Joyce's court recently. 1t was that OF
a staid, lawyerlike, elderly gentleman
gravely declaring that he had been
under the influence Of "sorcery," and
controlled by a telepathic mesmeric
influence which "caused him intense
pain at night"
AS Joseph William Thomas, who is
bringing an action with regard 10
transactions which took place when
he was in an asylum, made these ac-
cusations against his brother, Sir AL
fred Thomas, M. p, he emphasized
his points with a pince-nez, which he
carried in his hand.
Are you still under the influence?"
asked Mr.. Isaacs, K. c.
"It has not ceased absolutely, and
probably never WILL" replied MIR
Thomas, raising his pince-nez.
He added that distance made no
difference to the Influence" which
was conveyed at night. The "ln-
fluence" might be exercised by his
brothers. agents
In adjourning the case the judge
expressed an opinion that the matter
in dispute ought to be settled out OF
court.-IIondon Mirror.

WILD-EYED DENVER HEARSTITE

That wild-eyed Denver sheet, the
Post, served by the Hearst longest
creased liar" is knocking California
again. Closely affiliated with the ghoul-
ish hyena organ which disgraces Los
Angeles, the Denver Post in screaming
red and black headlines, yawps: Cali
fornians buying many homes here.
Frightened by the earthquake in San
Francisco, they come to Denver" The
article then mentions IAN army of
homeseekers and investors, driven east
ward by the disaster on the coast"
The singular and typical feature of
the affair, thoroughly characteristic of
any paper contaminated by the vile
Hearst, is that the article itself has not
one iota of support for such state
ment. 1t is made up of interviews with
real estate men, and at least one of
them-the only one who mentions either
California or anything Californian
says:
II HAVE NOT NOTICED THE AP-
PEARANCE OF SAN FRANCISCO
PEOPLE IN THE PARTIES LOOK
ING FOR HOMES"
Thus the Denver Post gives the lie to
it's own headlines. which is again no
ticeable in any sheet affiliated with the
human hyena Willie Ridiculous.
But how contemplate such an article,
with such false headings. does show up
the Denver Post, the Hearst yellow
outfit and "the longest creased liar in
the world" And how hard up Denver
must be for someone to buy its dead
real estate when its papers have to cook
up fake assertions about selling to refu-
gees who haven't dollar in the world

He GOT IT FIXED

The following story, illustrative Of
the red tape that used to prevail in a
certain department of the federal gov
ernment at Washington, is told by an
official who began his service there in
the humble capacity of clerk:
Shortly after entering upon the dis
charge of my duties" said the official,
II witnessed a scene in the division
to which ! had been assigned that as
tonished me to a degree. One day an
elderly clerk whose desk was near mine
suddenly rose from his seat, dragged
his chair, to the fireplace, and seizing
a poker, attacked the offending piece
Of furniture with what appeared to be
maniacal fury. When he had broken a
leg off the chair his passion seemed to
be exhausted. He flung the damaged
chair into a corner of the room, and,
getting another chair, resumed his
work just as if nothing had occurred.
when the time came to leave the
Office that afternoon, I ventured to ask
a fellow clerk what II meant. is that
clerk 1 inquired, subject to attacks
of that kind?'
1.-The clerk questioned smiled indul-
gently. Oh he explained. there was
nothing the matter with him. You see,
one of the castors had come off his
chair. This Department will not replace
castors-it repairs nothing less serious
than broken leg. So Blank broke one
of the legs and now he will be able to
get the castor put on again Success

SHE KEPT HER PROMISE

A little New York girl having reached
the advanced age of years, her mother
decided that it was high time for her to
learn to dance, and consequently, sent
her to private dancing school. A few
weeks later Mrs. Blank accompanied
her daughter to one of the classes to
see what progress she was making, and
noticed that when a certain boy, be-
longing to a family with whom Mrs.
Blank was more or less intimate, asked
for a dance he was PROMPTLY refused
by her daughter. on their return
home Mrs. Blank spoke of the matter
and said that as it might make trouble
between the two families if her daugh-
ter's conduct continued she wished her
to promise not to refuse to dance with
the youth in question should he again
ask her
Miss Blank promised, and on her
next return from the dancing school
the following dialogue ensued:-
well, did you dance with Harold to-
day?'
mo. mamma
Didn't he ask your"
Yes, mamma"
"And you refused him after what you
promised me?"
mo, mamma"
"Then how is it that he didn't dance
with you? Are you sure you didn't
refuse him?"
''Yes, mamma. When he came up and
asked for a dance l just looked him
straight in the eye and said You
skunk!'
! And Mrs. Blank was obliged to ac-
knowledge that her daughter had kept
the letter of her promise whatever
might be said about the spirit.-Har-

HIS MOST STRENUOUS JOB

Theodore Roosevelt never before un-
dertook task half as strenuous as the
one he has grappled in fighting the
great trusts. Climbing San Juan hill
to the music of Mauser bullets was
comparative fun, and Staying grizzly
bears and mountain lions was a picnic
beside the tussle now in hand. Fortu-
nately, reports from Washington are to
the effect that the presidents health is
perfect, that his muscles are hard, his
nerves steady and his wind" Of good
lasting promise.
Nearly dozen of the most power
full American trusts are in the line of
prosecution by the executive and judi
cial branches of the administration,
under general direction of the president.
All these prosecutions are distinct from
the legislative procedure against the
railroads which, in the shape of the rate
bill, congress has been handling for
months.
Most interesting of all these prosecu-
tions, as viewed by the public, is the
dltdIh vi lilG CllcbCl VI bliS u
OIL company Public interest centers
upon that concern particularly, be-
cause it has come to be rated as almost
invincible. John d. Rockefeller's per-
sonality also adds greatly to public in
terest in the proceedings instituted by
the government
But there are other trusts ready for
the grill that are but little less promi-
nent than the Standard Oil company.
The beef trust has been roasting for
some time, causing a considerable sput-
tering of grease in the fire. The big
sugar trust which monopolizes COM
mercial sweetness, is soured in temper;
the tobacco trust is alarmed at the
prospect of being smoked out; the ele-
vator trust is nervous from fear that
it may be knocked "sky high" and so
on. There are at least a dozen big
trusts already in front of the admin
istration's firing line, and more arr.
likely to be forced to the front.
1t is herculean job that the presi-
dent has undertaken. The American
people will hope earnestly for his sue
cess, but there will be grave lnisgivings
about betrayal on the part of some of
his trusted lieutenants.

Immigration Commissioner Sargent
expresses the opinion that our present
rate of one million a year in imported
population is none too many but he
naively adds; 1--WE want the right
kind of immigrants" OF course, and
that's the whole point of the con-
troversy. II immigrants are of the
right kind-sober, industrious, honest
and intelligent-one million year
might not be too many, but OF the
kind that usually comes, not over a
dozen are enough. The people OF this
country cannot and do not object to
immigration as such. Their protest is
against the invasion by the scum OF
Europe-the anarchist, the criminal
the vicious and the idle. These should
be kept out All others are welcome.
