The Mt. Vernon Hawkeye, referring
to the expression of disrespect for
Senator Allison melted by Senator La
Toilette at Waterloo. says: 1.-THE Wis
consin reformer Is about the biggest
fraud extant, but this is no reason why
he should be extended special favors
by the senate and under the discipline
of which he was probably singing at
the time of his sensational melting at
Waterloo. 1t ought by rights to be a
traditional Waterloo for him. Senator
Allison in a single term of service does
more real work in the cause of his
country than fellows of the stripe of
rampantism and La Toilette kind can
accomplish in a life time. That's the
reason the country is safe.'

Cato Sells in the past has not been

The Editor Observes.
An Indian Territory editor says: TT
is more fun to see a man read puff
on himself in newspaper than to see
fat man slip on banana peel. Tho
narrow-minded man reads 1t over sew
en- or eight times and then goes
around and begs all the copies he can.
The kind hearted man goes home and
reads 1T, to his wife and then goes
around to the office and pays what he
owes. The successful business man
who advertises regularly and makes
money by it, Immediately starts out
to find the editor, and then the two
walk silently down the street and the
business man takes sugar in hisn and
they both eat a Glove or two and life
is sweeter, and peace settles down on
their lives for moment. Such is the
experience Of mustard seed that falls
on different ground"

Wasn't Fair.

Wasn't Fair.
Two boys who managed to be rather
unruly in school so exasperated their
teacher that she requested them to re-
main after hours and write their names
1000 times They plunged into the
task. Some fifteen minutes later one
of them grew uneasy and began watch
ing his companion in disgrace.
Suddenly the first one burst out
with despair between his sobs, and
said to the teacher:
"'Tain't fair, mum! His names Bush
and mines Schluttermeyer.''
She Did.
A young girl sat in her bedroom with
a novel. Her hair was down and her
feet were in red slippers. Now and
then, extending her white arms, she
yawned.
You see it was very late, and down
stairs in the parlor her older sister
was entertaining young man. She
naturally felt deep interest in the
entertainment. She was waiting to
hear how 1t would end.
And at last there was sound In the
hall, a crash as of closing door, and
1t was plain to the impatient girl that
the young man had gone. She threw
down her book and, running forth,
peered over the balustrade down into
the halls intense darkness.

land him?"
There was no immediate reply to the
question. There was silence, a
peculiar silence, a silence with GER
tain strained quality in it. Then a
masculine voice replied:

WATER ON The PLANET MARA

A beautiful scientific story Of
achievement that makes the reader

at least, to doubt his expectation OF
being taken seriously. is recorded In
the Monthly Weather Review, the jour.

These vary much in intensity analogous
to mundane experience. But 1t Is best to
quote the author verbatim In order to
appreciate the almost incredible discov.
