GOOd Of the Devil.

An editor died and slowly wendell
his way down where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said: For many
years you have borne the blame for
that bad spelling that the printer has
got off in the paper. The paper has
gone for a 81 a year, and alas! The
printer has bedeviled thee for wages
when thou hads't not a farthing to
thy name. People hath taken thy
paper without paying for it, and
cursed thee for not getting out a bet
ter sheet. Thou hast been called a
dead beat by railroad conductors when
thor hast showed thy annual pass to
their envious gaze. All these wrongs
thou hast borne in silence. Thou
shalt not enter here" And with
tears of joy, the editor turned away
when Satan muttered: Heaven is
his home, and besides if / let him in
here he will be continually having
trouble with his many delinquent
subscribers, and thus create discord
in my kingdom. "-Ex.

These are samples of quotations not
infrequently heard in any community.
The man who is responsible for them
should have n tag tied to his coat tai
inscribed: This is me, l never take
any part in politics. I'm a sap-head
who permits the other fellow to eat

A law should be passed hat would

his power to do So"
The time has arrived in America for
those who have neglected the polls, to
wake up and perform their civil duties.
1t is as binding upon a man to vote rs
it is to pray and even more so.
Moreover, this act should never be
performed simply for the purpose OF
satisfying selfish ambitions. On the
contrary, patriotic motives should
prompt the action.
The seeker after Office is not of the
stamp of these, of course. Therefore
he is not a good example for the youth

In his annual report Maj Gen. James F.
Wade. commanding the Atlantic division,
states that the Coast Artillery. as in former
years, is still much in need of officers and
enlisted men, but hopes that the changes
in the stations of this arm, which will be
made next spring will stimulate re-enlist-
ments
In speaking of the condition and service
Of the troops, he says that their health,
discipline and instruction remain fully up
to the standard. AS the men of the United
States army are men Of opinions and of in
telligence. Gen. Wade states that 1t is very
difficult to convince the average soldier
that 1t Is necessary for him to march day
after day with full field kit merely in order
that he may know beforehand how uncom-
Portable such marching Is going to be when
1t does become necessary. He says 1t Is
difficult to get good men. and much more
difficult to keep them, and thinks that steps
should be taken to make the service more
attractive. To this end Gen. Wade thinks
that many views and suggestions would be

mental COMMUNICATIVE officers most close

upon to submit them to the department.

Municipal PaWnshops.

In Europe and in several of the Spanish
American countries 1t is customary for the
municipal government to conduct pawn
shops, which are called Monies de Piete'

The municipality of Paris conducts TWEEN
ty-two pawnshops. under the supervision of
committee of the common council. and
the loans amount annually to about &c.
OO0.O60. This custom has prevailed since

financial relief to meet pressing necessities
without sacrificing their self-respect or be-
Ing robbed by extortionate usurers. The
Paris pawnshops are Official monopolies;
no other pawnbrokers are allowed to do
business openly, but there is a great deal
OF usury in chattel mortgages conducted
privately, and system of swinding has
grown up within recent years by brokers
who purchase pawn tickets from people
who have not secured the relief that they
expected from the loan obtained at the
government Office. The municipal pawn
shops never loan more than one third of
the real value of an article, and by plac-
Ing his pawn ticket with one of t-.ese Sc

There Is no discredit attaching to a trans

take advantage of them. and rich citizens
often offer their jewels. silverplate and

Courteous Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark, is city
of canals and cleanliness-A land
of pure delight, free from beggars,
rgan,grinders, and stray dogs.
The inhabitants thereof are born
courteous and seem never to have
recovered from the habit. When
a passenger boards a car in Copen,
hagen he exchanges greetings
with the conductor; gentleman,
on leaving the car, usually lifts his
bat in acknowledgment of salute
from that official When fare is
paid, the conductor drops it into
hls cash box, thanks the passenger,
and gives him little paper receipt.
He offers change with prelimina.
ry "Be so good" and the passenger
accepts with thanks. If, in addi
ton, transfers are required, compli-
mentry exchanges go on indefnity.
Yet there is always time enough
in Copenhagen.
