From Harpers Weekly.
An East Side school teacher. learning that
a girl pupil was sick went to visit her.
The good hearted instructor having called
at the child's home before had no difficulty
in finding her, though the quarters were at
the top of densely populated tenement.
The mother was absent, and the little
eight-year-old, Susie by name, well wrapped
up, was sitting ON the side Of the bed.
After some talk, the teacher, observing
that the child spoke with difficulty, said
Susie, I going to examine your
lungs"
"Yes'm." dutifully responded Susie. as
teacher began to loosen the youngster's
waist. After removing it. the teacher found
layer upon layer of flannel, which she un-
fastened with no little difficulty. satisfying
herself that there was no danger of pneu-
monia. Then she began to replace the
child's dress. when Susie gave way to a
flood of tears.
"Mommer will be awful mad at you when
she finds out!'
"Why, Susier exclaimed the teacher,
what do you mean?
You've gone an unfastened all my fan
nels an mommer had jest got me all sewed
up fur the winter!

A Long Time.
From Harper's Weekly.

From HarperS weekly.
In the service of a certain committee OF
the Senate, the chairman of which is
southern senator. is a certain capable young
stenogra pher and typewriter, in addition to
the clerk of the committee.
One day the chairman, missing the very
capable stenographer. inquired OF the clerk
where he was.
He is not here today, sir" responded the
clerk. His father is dead"
Some days later the chairman again asked
for the missing employee, only to receive the
same reply from the clerk:
He is not here today, sir. His father Is
dead
The chairman said nothing. but looked
very interested.
A full week thereafter the head of the
committee for the third time Inquired as 10
the where's bouts of the stenographer In
reply the clerk began the usual announce
ment:

About So Far.
From Harper's Weekly.

A senator from a central western state
sought an interview with the President,
asking him to appoint to foreign consulate
an applicant to whom the senator was in
some way bound. but who was heartily dis
liked by reason of his offensive persistence
in seeking favors.
Where do you want him sent?" the
senator was asked
At this the senator took step or two
to the center of the room, where stood a
large globe. Putting one arm around 1t
as far as he could reach, the senator said:
ct don't know what locality my finger
touches, but please send him there!'

Pictured Hay Fever.
From the London Globe.

In Paris there is just now proceeding a
seasonable discussion on hay fever, con-
corning which an amusing instance of the
capricious nature of the infection is re-
lated. A lady was quite proof against
catching the sneezings of hay fever from
either hay or any other flower or plant
except one. The mere sight of rose used
to set her sneezing violently Knowing
her weakness. she carefully avoided these
flowers. but one day she carelessly stopped
before a still life painting representing a
basket of roses. Almost instantly she was
seized with a sneezing fit. Clearly imagin-
alton has it's part in the case

Nicolai Looks Backward.
From Harper's Weekly

Nicolai has been very much impressed
with his Sunday school lessons, especially
those telling of the creation of the world.
He asks his mother numerous questions
concerning the original state of things, and
does not seem quite satisfied with the re-
plies, as is evident from recent prayer he
made, which included a petition asking the
Lord to please tell me what there was
way, way back, in the years before there
was any backs to the years."

District Attorney Coles stated to
the Sentinel this afternoon that the
information filed against John Jen-
sen and Robert Stevenson were not
faulty to any extent whatever. JUS
tice Byers did not hold that the word
store house" should have been used
in the Indictment instead of lice
house" for the simple reason that At
torney Coles had followed the in
strnction of the statutes in this mat
ter and used the word "store house"
in each Indictment. However. Justice
Byers held that an ice house was not
store house and as the defendant
had entered an ice house they could
not be convicted of burglary. Attor-
ney Coles filed the papers in the case

Cause Of Business Failures.

During the year 1905 there were 1857
failures among the Individuals. firms
and corporations engaged in legitimate
mercantile business in the UNITED
States. The number seems large, but
it is very small when We consider that
there were 1852 $40 concerns In business
/ in the country. Moreover. it was the
| smallest number of failures for several
years i'm spite of the constantly increas-
| ing number of concerns doing business
and the fast increasing volume Of BUSH
ness. 1t is interesting to note the
! causes of these failures as showed by
the carefully compiled statistics of the
mercantile agencies which watch such
| things very closely.
| Fraud is one Of the constant causes Of
commercial failures, but it is far from
being the principal one Fraud never
| can De got rid of, but 1t does not appear
to be making any Roadway. In 1907
the percentage of failures ascribcJ to
| that cause was l0.1. In 1904 it was So
| and in 1903 it was 90. If any reliance
can be placed on percentages the COM
| mercial world is not pcrmeatcd with
, dishonesty. The public, which has
read so much about grating III high
places. in politics and grand finance.
, may take comfort in the thought that
dishonesty il not rife among the aver
age business men of the country.
Only four of last years failures were
due to speculation. That does not
| prove that speculation is rare among
men engaged in commercial occupa-
them who are more or less speculative,
but only four got caught. If there had
been a panic or sharp depression in
values the number of failures due to
speculation would have been much
larger.
Incompetence and lack of capital are
the chief causes of bankruptcy today,
as they have been from the beginning.
To them SIS per cent of last years
failures are ascribed. The man who
has exceptional business ability can
| make a start with practically no CAPT
tai and score a success. Men of only
average ability who are handicapped
by the lack Of adequate capital are
likely to 80 to the wall. even when gen.
eral commercial conditions are favor
able. or the failures of 1905. 2,42s were
due to Incompetence. Those failures
cost creditors $4,000. OOO that being the
difference between assets and liabili-
, ties. The failures due to fraud were
: less expensive. the loss to creditors be.
: ing little over sS.oOoOoO. 1t is bust.

Let U. Have an Honest Registration.

Let Us nave an foneet He0lstFation
The editorial in yesterdays Journal
referring to the need of an honest
registration of voters under the caucus
law was not intended to refer in any
way to the signers of the petitions
which accompanied the filing of party
nomination papers. 1t was agreed be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
committees that neither Of them would
raise any technical questions touching
the legality of caucus notices. AS
there had been some discussion of the
matter both committees decided that II
would be a safe thing to back UP their
return Of caucus nominations with
petitions for the placing of their re-
spective tickets on the official ballot.
Under the circumstances, both COM
m,tt.es being in accord in the matter.
10 attempt was made by either party
to preserve party lines in the signing
of these petitions. 1t was the desire OF
both parties that the respective tickets
should be put upon the official ballot
precisely as nominated by the eau
cuses, and put there legally and with
out the possibility Of bubble. No re-
proach therefore can attach to any
voter who signed a petition of the OPP
posing party for the purpose of bring
ing about this result. the desirability
of which was a matter of agreement
between the parties.
The Journal i'm It's editorial of yes
tcrday morning referred solely to the
party registration that Is required un-
der the State caucus law. 1t Is a
matter of common knowledge that GER
tain lifelong Democrats deliberately
and over their own signatures regis
tered themselves as Republicans in or
der that they might be able to par
ticipate i'll Republican caucuses. Such
a course is certainly not creditable to
the men in question, nor to the politi-
cal party to which they actually belong.
The fact that some of them are now
candidates for Office on the Democratic
ticket emphasizes the need of more
honest party registration. 1t is duty
to which the Democratic city COM
mittcc, in the interest of clean politics
may well give its serious attention.
1t is also a matter as we said in our
editorial Of yesterday which may well
claim the attention of the Board of
Trade committee on pure elections.
The primaries lie at the foundation OF
Republican government, and every
thing that can be done to maintain
their purity will contribute directly
and powerfully to the highest welfare
of the community

There is nothing surprising or uncx-
pccted in the report Of European cor
respondents that Russia is now push
ing her forces southwark into Mon
golia. Driven back from Manchuria
by the Japanese, just as she was re-
PEELED from southern Europe by the
allied powers in the Crimcan war, it is
only natural now for Russia TO seek
the sea by way of Mongolia. This
times the size OF Manchuria and nearly
the size of the IS provinces OF China
proper. Russia has never wavered in
its fixed purpose to reach the Pacific
or Indian oceans. and if it cannot get
through by one route it simply tries
another BY pushing southwark
through Mongolia and by quiet diplo-
macy at Pekin. Russia will probably
seek during the coming generation to
gain what it lost on the battleiields OF
Manchuria. OF course this policy
mcnaces the integrity Of China. and il
the powers expect to checkmate tho

Other American cities have attempt
ell to initiate or duplicate the famous
Mardi Gras which New Orleans cello
bratcs each year. but none of them
have been wholly successful. In New
Orleans the latest Mardi Gras is al
ways the best, and consequently the
festival celebrated during the past
week was livelier and more spectacular
than any of its innumerable prcdeces-
sors and also drew larger crowds from
all parts of the country. Somehow the
spirit that animates the Mardi Gras
has not yet been coaxed into the
northern climate, and even if the
floats. fixtures, parade and the ball
were all transported bodily to Boston.
Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Chicago.
still there would be something lacking
and the affair would fall far short Of
being the New Orleans Mardi Gras.
The revel is peculiar to that city. and
it's spirit refuses to thrive elsewhere.
