The ladies with the company did

the personal appearance Of Calanthe
was not such as would hardly inspire
such burning words of love as fell
from the lips of Pythias, her acting
was all that could be desired.
Once in a great, great while such
q piece as Damon and Pythias would
be acceptable to a Black Hills
audience. Mr.. Dodge has erred we
think, in the past by attempting too
much of the classic line which is
usually beyond the capabilities of
rural performers, impracticable in
rural houses, beyond and "over the
heads" of rural audiences.
We feel especially kind toward
Mr.. Dodge personally because he has
always endeavored to give US some
thing above the ordinary theatrical
slush that usually pours in upon US.
1t is pleasure therefore we can an-
nounce that Mr.. Dodge has decided
to give US a ten weeks summer
season of modern, high-class dramas.
Preparations are now under way to
this end. Among the bills will be
presented "Secret Service" "Held
by the Enemy, ""Capt. Swift, "s'Be-
cause She Loved Him So" and a
number of other excellent copyright
dramas that have proven their ex-
cellence before eastern audiences.
These plays will cost Mr.. Dodge
something like $4,000 week royal
ties and we feel he should have the
hearty support of our people in this
worthy effort.

This was a variation OF an old and some.

other sharp implements had frequently been
cut out of people who remembered to have
absorbed them casually years before. Splin

tooth was a novelty, and its twenty years of
sojourning and peregrination In this mans

the needle family to do something to re-
store the prestige Of that famous line OF
tourists. As usual, the needle was sharply
on hand to fulfill public expectations The
next day came q news dispatch announcing

long ago, silver needle with q gold eye.
Just the kind to progress unscathed through
organs and muscles and all the conditions
of human transit. The woman had no rec
objection Of the intrusion Of this particu-
lar needle. But she consulted specialists ON
needles and they told her that that peculiar
bit Of silver and gold must have gone into
her system at least half a century ago.
Then the needlewoman confessed to q bit
more than ffty years Of life. and the case,
therefore. goes on record In this form. that
the needle has been sewing its fine seam
ever since its host was baby, she having
swallowed it during the anaconda period Of
extreme youth. So now the needle-tourist
record stands re-established It will take a
mighty sharp serpent's tooth to equal that
performance Of half a century.

A Fiendish Suggestion.

England has serious problem on Its
hands, confounding the shrewdness of its
political Sherlock Holmeses What Is to
be done with the obstreperous women
known as ''suffragettes' who are clamor-
ing for recognition of their civil rights
and for equal treatment with the men at
elections? They have stormed the resi-
dences of officials and have even carried
their campaign into the house of commons
They have been arrested until a howl of
Indignation has arisen from the hoi polloi
at this manner of treating women. They
have been ignored and scorned into fury
They have become a national nuisance and
there are two alternatives now before
the British government, to give them
what they want or to submit to a long
series of annoyances which threaten to
breed serious national disorder
In this predicament many ingenious cit
3zens are turning their minds to the attempt
to solve the problem. Widely various are
the schemes proposed to abate the suf-
fragette nuisance. Some Of them are
feeble. some positively cruel OF the lat
ter class, attaining to a height of inhu-
manity seldom scaled by civilized beings.
Is the suggestion just offered by a resi-
dent OF Dublin. Give each of your men"
he writes to the police inspector at the
house OF commons, "a live mouse In a lit
tie cage. and the suffragettes will leave
the house of commons on a dead run and
never come back"
1t Is difficult to believe that such men ex-
list. The days of legal torture have passed
in England. The museums alone display
the implements of punishment which once
were in common use The stocks. the
ducking stool, the branks, the bride and
all the rest of the lot of lumber are now
viewed as curiosities indicative of a passed
period of unenlightenment. Has England
evolved out of the pillory stage of culture
to sink back Into the still lower depth of
the mouse era? Fie upon the Wanted Brit
ish culture If this fiendish proposal is even
seriously considered. All humanity will
arise and denounce the ministry that coun-
fenances such monstrous methods of meet
ing even the most serious condition

japan.

Secretary Metcalf is an excellent man
for the special mission to San Francisco
AS a Californian he has the confidence of
the people Of that state, and as a member
of the cabinet he is informed about, and
in sympathy with, the administrations at
titude toward the Japanese matter While
it is not likely that we are on the eve of a
break with Japan, 1t is highly desirable that
we should show both promptness and
energy in putting an end to the existing
difficulty. We are still the friend of the
people we applauded during their struggle
with Russia, and we desire a continuation
of their friendship. We know their merits,
and how far they rise above the other
peoples OF the far east. Relations that
were established under unusual circum-
stances more than half century ago, and
have steadily grown in cordially, should
not. and cannot be easily severed.

The New Triple Alliance.

One year from the 26th Of June next the
extension of the triple alliance, which binds
Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy into
an International union for certain purposes.
will expire by limitation. 1t IS not be-
lieved that 1t will be renewed. In antici-
patton Of realignment Of the powers Of
Europe engagements. 1t Is now stated.
have been entered into by Great Britain,
France and Italy, whereby those countries
will hereafter stand together as allies for
defensive purposes. a new dreibund Of far
reaching influence.
Since the first signs that Russia was
second-class military power, adduced by
the weakness displayed In the war with
Japan, France has sought new relations
for her own protection. The traditional
German menace was too serious to be borne
without a reserve of strength. The German
emperor's move to acquire prestige and
power In northern Africa was the cue to
the French and a bargain was quickly
struck with England. so often and SO Bit
terly the enemy of France. England had
meanwhile gained the friendship of Italy.
1t was plain to observers Of continental
politics that new combination was shap-
ing. which would eventually bring these
three powers into close and harmonious
relations.
This alliance, It Is explained. will be-
come effective upon the expiration or
breach of the triple alliance between Ger
many. Austria-Hungary and Italy. 1t may
thus come into play before June 20, 1908.
inasmuch as there are at present serious
strains between Italy and Austria-Hungary
growing out of the treatment Of the citi-
zens Of each country residing In the other.
Efforts have been made by King Edward
to secure from Emperor William q pledge
of Intervention with Austria-Hungary to
prevent an actual rupture with Italy. Thus
In truth the new alliance Is working out
results already. 1t must be reckoned with
as a factor in European politics, No ag
gression can be made upon France, or upon
Italy. without Involving Immediately the
full force Of the combination.
Whether Russia plays a part in this new
adjustment of European affairs must be
left for future disclosure. That there re-
mains a strong tie in sentiment as well as
the letter Of the treaty between France
and Russia can not be questioned Further
more that England and Russia have been
drawing closer together is plain. Just how
far the new Anglo-Russian understanding
extends is not understood. 1t is stated I'M
officially In terms which prevent friction
in the regions of mutual or adjacent in
terest. as in Persia and on the Indian from
tiers. but that it might easily be developed
Into a positive partnership in connection
with the new Anglo-Franco-Italian al
lance Is to be conceived.
These moves on the political chess board
tend steadily to checkmate Germany. A
few years ago England occupied position
Of splendid isolation in world politics
Today England enjoys harmonious rela-
lions with France, Russia and Austria in
Europe and with Japan in Asia and has
perfect understanding with the United
States. Germany is being pressed into the
corner isolated and limited in the scope
Of possible activity in the world field.

A Confession,

They tell me things are funny which, I
must confess, to me
Seem quite the opposite. although I hate
to disagree.
When I've made a bad investment and am
loser by the trick
My friends make jocular remarks about
golden brick,
And tell me comic anecdotes OF people who
are broke.
1 listen most politely, but cannot see the
joke.
I'm usually fond OF repartee and merry
chaff:
No doubt these things are funny; yet they
do not make me laugh.
I long to share the simple pleasures Of my
fellow men,
But fear my sense Of humor is deficient
now and then:
For when my brand new hat blows Off
and tunlbles down the street,
And start in pursuit Of 1t with SWIFT and
careless feet,
And step upon an orange peal, and after
slipping some.
With q resounding splash. lose my equi-
librium.

angrier by half
They tell me that it's funny; but it doesn't
make me laugh!

A Time to Save.
from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.


Soaring bank clearings, heavy realty
transactions. bank deposits and healthy
business conditions tell tale of prosperity.
This prosperity knows no classes. for it
embraces all. The laborer is we'll paid.
The business man finds his affairs on the
right side Of the ledger. There is a lesson
in It.
In time of peace prepare for war. In the
days of prosperity prepare for adversely.
The people of this country are living in
the sunshine of financial ease and indus
trial activity; but the proverbial rainy day
is somewhere ahead. This is time to
prepare for 1t.
The man who has not yet learned to
accumulate something, and to add daily to
the sum total of his accumulation Is pro-
viding future discomfort for himself. The
time to accumulate Is when money is easily
made The habit of saving, once formed is
habit that will grow with years. Every
man who has an earning capacity can
save something if he will. To do so means
to live inside instead of up to or beyond
ones income. Living within his income does
not argue that a man is stingy. He is sim
ply thrifty, saving and provident, instead of
being reckless, wasteful and fmprovident
The latter is sin, and the former virtue

lawyers. In all probability he might have
retired from office at any time to take up
lucrative law practice. Enormous fees
have been going into the pockets Of lawyers
of much smaller caliber. But he has pre-
ferred office with a very small salary, and
in office has -contented himself with his
salary.
Did this man choose wisely? To know
him is to feel that he could not have chosen
otherwise. He is an Intellectual and pa
triotic man, and Of great pride. One as
sociates him with plain living and high
thinking. The public service must from the
outset have appealed to him in the strong
est way. Opportunity to figure in large
affairs and to impress himself upon them
in a signal manner rose above all other
considerations. How well he has improved
the opportunity he embraced II attested
not only by his hold upon his constituents,
but by the estimation In which he Is held
by the whole country. For not alone Ala
bama, but the whole United States was
SOLID for him in the race he has just
won.
Putting money aside. and putting the
proper appraisement on his official COM
mission. Mr.. Morgan has erected a monu-
ment to himself which will last long. When
We consider the character and length of his
services. we may safely place him as the
south's leading figure in our national life
since the civil war. A stanch partisan In
domestic politics, he has championed
measures of wider scope In a spirit Of great
breadth and courage. and assisted In many
measures Of the first national importance.
And at eighty. as a reward, he wins his last
racelf it Is his last-in a walkover. Where
is the pile of money which gives its pos
SCISSOR so much pleasure?
