Rockefeller, Jr., says borrowing
should be summed, but he doesn't
tell which side should do the shun

And yet the kaiser's decision to
permit the circulation of caricatmes
Of himself can hardly be attributed
to vanity.
A college professor says the women
viii be ruling the country fifty years
from today. OF course, why should
they abdicate?
What's q little matter Of stealing
a few millions from the Indians in
coal lands? The Indians do not use
much coal anyway
Business and society do not mix

Chicago had one hundred and
sixty murders last year, not inclId-
ing iustiiable homicides and "acci-
dents" during strikes.
1t now t%ranspires that Anna Gould
does not intend to lose her title of
countess because Of the separation.
Some Of the old glamor is evidently
left.
The widow Of immense wealth who
wants to wear low necked mourning
gowns may be all right. Maybe she
wants to show that she is low spir-
tied.
John d. Rockefeller has been seen
and recognized, and now he will
have to 60 to the troubleand expense
OF buying a new wig Of another
color.
Late church ediices show that the
spire is passing out of vogue. This
will leave nothing for the lightning
to strike but the tall chimneys and
the trees.
The report is around in the east
that the coal roads have 10,000,000
tons OF anthracite coal stored. The
price does not indicate any such an
Owe supply.
A Mormon apostle who recently
died left forty-nine children and
seven widows. This remedy for
social suicide will hardly receive a
national diploma.
A Racine man is reported to have
lost his reason because of the motor
iety brought him by the birth ofi
triplets. This is, indeed, trouble
coming IN punches.
Those Cuban pearls came through
all right in spite of the fact that
Captain Rockefeller is sailing the

No doubt those congressman who
shipped billiard tables by mail took
their cues from the one who mailed
his cow across the continent.

Mark Twain's deathless warfare
against the cukoo clock seems to
have borne fruit. At least no such
article has appeared yet in the list
Of white house entries.
Russia blames her students for the
revolution; China blames hers for
the boycott, and we blame ours for
football. The whole class seems to
be more or less a nuisance.
There will be many less Roosevelt

Harry Payne Whitney, who will
be e L to congress by Mr.. Murphy,
Of New York, would of course, rather
90 there on his " motion, but
unfortunately few go to congress
without Mr.. Murphy's consent from
New York.
Former Speaker David b. Hen

The Huron World notes with
pleasure that Col. Lynn, of Canton,
is NOW writing stronger editorials

The war with Japan cost Russia
the immense total Of l, 966, 100000
roubles, or about $1,000, 900, 900.
This is not a mere estimate, but is
the sum as announced officially by

j. Pierpont Morgan and his asso-

There are some ten million tons of
hard coal stored up against a strike,
and the store is accommodating daily

would therefore have little TO fear
from the strike except that Mr.. Bear
would be sure to make another series

Crowd Disappointed.

Quite large gathering had assembled
on Mount Vernon Avenue yesterday
afternoon to witness friendly brushes
among soma of the local fast harness
horses. But the crowd was disappointed

advocates of the sport that the old race
track may be temporarily pro cured and
pht in fair condition as a sort of speed
way on which each owner of feet hone
may test his speed capacity.
