The Kings Fool

Was most always a man Of superior
wisdom, but all fools are not so for
tunate. A fool may look wise, but
cannot act so, yet wise man can
look fool as we'll as act. David was
considered a wise king, but he acted
fool to perfection in order to save his
life. A man remarked to a friend in
the presence Of a clown at a circus,
isn't he the biggest fool you ever
saw" Quick as a flash the clown
answered, Some people act fool for
the want OF sense, / am paid to act
it." =
You will say this Is fool advertise
ment and I am fool for writing it.

Cleveland, Jan. 16.-According to a
statement made last night by III. r.
Newcombe, of the bankers committee
investigating the affairs OF Dennison,
Prior & Co, which Is in the hands OF
Receiver Thomas 81, Bushnell, the de-
velopments show that the gross liabil-
titles of the firm are 5000, 600, not in
Guiding the 81, 600, 600 in supposedly
forged securities. The assets Of the
firm, Mr.. Newcombe believes, will be
about $500. 900.
Mr.: Newcombe believes that few of
the forged bonds were gotten into
banks outside the city of Cleveland
and the state of Ohio, and maintains
that the forgeries were used as collat-
eral mostly in this city. That would
make the extent of the involving of
outside financial institutions small,
Mr.. Newcombe said.
The private safe of Mr.. Prior was
opened after three days work by ex-
perts. It contained no papers or men,
oranda that would disclose anything
as to the status of the firms affairs.
Among the contents Of the safe
were insurance policies to the amount
Of 800, 600 on Mr.. Prior's life. Stocks
representing less than $16, 900 were
also found in the safe.

TRAVEL ON THE OCEAN.

Devices that Have Made Accidents
at Sea Almost UnknOwn.
In the presence Of the fearful loss
of life in accidents on our railroads it
Is with relief that we contemplate the
ever-increasing safety of travel by sea,
says the Scientific American. Year
after year passes by without any Of
the important passenger steamers that
cross the Atlantic or other oceans on
which passenger travel is heavy meet
ing with an accident that causes risk
of life or limb to the passengers. The
mail steamers come and go with a
regularity approaching that of the best
railroad schedule and it takes the very
fiercest of Atlantic midwinter gales to
interfere seriously with this punctuali-
~. The secret Of this security is to
be found both in the structure Of the
ship itself and In the marvelously in
genious devices which science and In
yention have placed at the service Of
the navigator to guide him IN the more
pe,ilous phases Of bis duty
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1906-01-20

The submarine signaling is close
rival to the wireless telegraph in the
great increase that it has made in the
safety Of travel on the sea. One re-
ceiver is placed on each side Of the
ship, with separate wires from each,
and by the use of telephones the OFF,
Ger is able to hear bell that is being
struck at point many miles distant
from the ship and determine it's direc-
ton. The officer Of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse states that on the last
trip over, when the ship was four
miles distant from the River Weser,
he plainly made out the signals con-
veyed from the lightship there. Fur
thermore, as the vessel neared Nan
tucket, and when she was about four
miles distant from the lightship, he
heard through the telephone the signal
"66." This consists Of six strokes Of
the bell, a pause and then six moro
strokes of the bell, which is the Nam
tucket lightship code signal. At about
the same distance from Sandy Hook
lightship the respective signals were
distinctly audible. The value Of this.
device in preventing collisions be-
tween approaching ships is evident,
for it has this advantage over the fog
horn, that the direction Of the ap-
preaching vessel, whether from port or
starboard, is determined at once by the
fact that the sounds are audible to the
port or starbOard telephone.

Chicago, Jan. l7.-GeneraI pa...r
ger agents Of Western lines, after thrae
days OF almost continuous discnaaion
have agreed upon plan for the q.
ganization Of q general colonixaAion
bureau to handle the details of the
issuance Of CERTIFICATES and tickets For
land and immigration business.
Reports of those who attended the
Western Passenger Association meet
ings during the Rebates on this promo
sition indicate that there were some
representatives Of railroads in the con-
ference who we're in favor of abolish
ing the privilege the colonization de-
partments have found SO valuable in
building up communities along the
railroads.
I'VE were fearful said a passen-
ger agent of one of the Western roads
that the issuance of certificates would
be abrogated and that every Western
states development would be materi-
ally affected by the shutting off of the
hoeseekers' colonization certicfiate
provisions. /"
According to one of the passenger
agents, the bureau will handle the col
oniaztien business for all the roads in
the Western Passenger Association.
and there will be no diminution in the
volume Of business.

PERSONAL VICTORY
FOR CHAMBERLAIN

London, Jan. 18.-The most promi-
nent feature of the days election re-
turns is the wholly unexpected stand
made by Birmingham. Not only were
all Of Joe Clamberlain's seven candi-
dates returned, but Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
himself received a majority of 5000,
while the majority of the others aver
aged 5000.
While Mr.. Balfour stands discred-
tied as a leader, with his supporters
all swallowed up and himself angrily
criticised from his own side, Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN issues from the contest
with flying colors. This encourage
ment, to a large extent, justifies him
TO persevere in his agitation and he is
IN position to argue that it was Mr..
halfour's timidity that lost the cam
paign.
The returns for the day show that
the Liberal tide still runs strong.
London has gone distinctly Liberal, no
less than twelve seats showing Liberal
gains.
The total Liberal gaihs for the day
we're p, as against one gain for the
Conservatives.

BUGET STATEMENT
OUTLINES CONDITIONS

st. Petersburg, Jan. f5-The bud
get statement for 1905 shows that it
will be necessary to raise $24O, 500 900
by credit operations to balance the es-
innate of receipts and expenditures.
The latter include 1902. 500, 900 for the
liquidation of the expenses of the
Russo-Japanese loan for the repara-
ton of troops in the far East and the
reduction of the army to peace foot
ing. For the first time the total cost
of the war, $1,050, 900, 900. is revealed.
The credit operations to balance the
budget include the recent authorize
ton of 5000, 100000 in treasury bonds,
$75 ,00o,0 900 of which have already been
used to renew the Mendelssohn loan,
and the credit of $3.50 zoo, 900 which
former Finance Minister KoovsoR Is
now negotiating in Paris. The pri-
mary object of the latter, the pro-
ceeds of which will be retained in
Paris, is understood by the Associated
Press to be the maintenance of the
stability of the ruble.
The budget statement does not
dodge the prevailing conditions in Rus
sia 1t is pointed out specifically that
the receipts from all. sources have
been scaled down, and, moreover, it
is stated that if the disorders in the
interior do not cease. there may. be
some branch of revenue on which it
will be impossible to count.
The statement concludes with the
following address to the emperor,
which was evidently prepared by
Count Witte:
These facts and figures submitted
to your majesty show that the pres
ent situation of Russian finances is
none too favorable. This state of
things is the result of the war and OF
the troubles which followed. These
troubles are of temporary character,
and it is fair to assume that they
will be ameliorated In the near future.
'The elimination Of those special
features has sure guarantee In the
independence granted to Russian
nation by your august will and by the
equality which has been assured to all
your majesty's subjects"

A WELCOME ILLNESS.

Little folk have tragedies as we'll as
"grown-ups," and these are no less
real and heart-breaking. A correspond
ent of~the Washington Post tells OF
some of her experiences with the
griefs of childhood. She says that she
will never forget the day when, at the
age of twelve, she came home from a
long year at school.
1 had comforted myself in my lone
illness and homesickness by thinking
of the happiness OF getting back to my
dolls. l came home to find that my
mother had given them all away. |
was too old, she said. to care for dolls.
| suppose she never dreamed l could
care. any more than I dreamed of the
ache in the heart of little niece OF
mine till she showed it to me not long
ago.
She is the elder Of two daughters.
The younger is a rarely beautiful
child. who has always been delicate,
so that attentions have been showered
on her. The elder child, Julia, Is q
plain, sturdy little thing, who has al
ways given way without a word to
Margaret, the younger.
When went to visit the family last
fall Margaret was the center OF at
traction. II she had sore throat the
house was turned tOpsyturvy.
One day l came upon Julia, sitting
by the kitchen stove, her teeth chatter
ing. She had never been i'll before. OF
course we put her to bed and hung
over her and made lot Of her. The
child was really i'll.
s'Poor little thingv' l said to her.
I'm 50 sorry you're sick!"
She looked up at me with the oldest
look ever saw on a child's face.
"I'm glad" she replied. They'll
all treat me now just the way they
do Margaret"
You may be sure we did. But think
how long her heart must have ached
to make her think Of saying that! We
can never make up to her for that.

There's no use attempting to dis
guise the fact that I'm growing old"
said the man with the eyeglasses. He
said it plaintively.
You don't look it." said his friend,
consolingly.
Il may not on a casual inspection,
yet l can look in my glass and detect
wrinkles around my eyes that I'm
morally convinced weren't there ten
years ago. My hair-brush pehetrates
to my scalp with greater ease than
ever before. I don't say am in the
last stages Of senile decay, but it's
coming on ME. just the same-re-
morselessly, inevitably creeping on
me. have to admit it, though I hate
to think that I've got to get older in
stead OF younger"
I'VE don't any of us grow younger"
said the friend. But I should say
your appearance, in spite Of your low
spirits, is decidedly youthful"
Its kind of you to insist upon it. l
admit that my teeth are still good
enough to masticate my food, but
there are certain signs that are unmis-
taxable. l am losing my taste for
fancy vests. l used to revel in fancy
vests-and neckties. But now the
plaids and stripes that once loved so
well jar me little. A plain, decorous
white is the only deviation from the
color Of coat and trousers that per-
NIT myself and prefer sad tints in
my cravats. Now, you could never
hear my garments coming down the
street. 1 never did anything violent
in the sartorial line, but my apparel
typifled the joyousness and brightness
of youth, think, and take it as
sign that in it's exuberant sense that
joyousness has departed"
II wouldn't Say that" demonstrated
the friend. "Our tastes naturally
change. I remember that took
great notion to black at the age Of 10.
1t lasted for two or three years. l
used to go about looking as IL all my
best friends had died. as recently as
the week before"
'eThat's all very well, but I'll bet
you didn't wear the sort of collars I'm
wearing. See? Lots Of room at the
throat and rolled back easily. No
height to it at all. And my shoes.
Notice my shoes? Square toes and
roomy. l could wear shoe size
