IMAGINATION MISLEADING.
Despite This Fact 1t Is One of the
Things in Which Modern Peo-
pie Take Delight.

The habit of self-control ex-
tends beyond the nerves to the i'm.
aginatiOn. This most powerful
factor in our lives has misled
many in this world so that their
perspective of existence has all
been wrong.
There is nothing so great and
good in this world as Imagination
-an imagination which will take
us out of self and project us into
new environments to enjoy some.
thing which is little more substan-
tial than a dream.
How many poor women, worked
to death and surrounded by pow
erty and suffering, find, neverthe-
less, enjoyment in life because
they can release their minds from
the tolls Of their lot and enjoy the
pleasures of the imagination.
1t is, the cultivated Imagination
that has given to us the great
works Of literature, art, music and
science, and to appreciate them to
their utmost we must have mag.
lnation to enter into sympathy
with them.
But the Imagination that is un.
der no control, and runs riot with
one, is nothing less than a curse;
IL may begin in a harmless way,
but it may bring us to an unhappy
end.

THEIR LITTLE JOKES TURN
English Judge Finds Witticism Is
on Him When he Copies An
others Crack.

The other day a London counsel,
engaged in a case in which prop
erty of various descriptions was
involved, made a long and ram.
bling speech, referring to each
kind in turn.
His monotonous delivery had
sent nearly everyone to sleep,
when he suddenly startled them
by abruptly changing his voice as
he exclaimed to the Judge:
"My lord, | will now address my
self to the furniture"
"You have been doing that for
some time, | think, Mr.. Wells" re-
marked the judge, sweetly, amid
universal tittering.
Now, there was another Judge
who heard this anecdote, and
thought Of storing it up for some
future occasion.
Al the court, soon afterward.
his opportunity seemed to have ar
rived. He was trying a case In
which the circumstances were
somewhat similar, but the prop
erty involved was live stock.
In due course one of the counsel
said:
"My lord, l will now address
myself to the donkey"
"You have been doing that for
some time" was the prompt re.
spouse, whereupon a regular roar
of laughter followed, which highly
gratifed the Judge until its true
reason dawned on him.

The man who sometimes ven

the opinion that the social func.
ton known as the large dinner,

laid" for 60 or 100, could be i'm
proved; and 1t is safe to say that
everybody who has had the mis-
fortune to attend many of these
dinners-Or only one Of them
will agree withhim, saysthe Proyi-
dence Journal. AS a matter of
fact, covers are not laid for so or
12O at all; the food Is ex-
posed to view in its half-warm and
fOrbiddingmOnOtony;itis brought
in by the armful, in courses, and
there are surprises In the courses.
A hot soup might burn the wait

to expect that he can keep his

forced to carry them as he would

about the viands; one can fortify
himself for a big dinner by eating
at home.
1t is the chairman, the presiding
officer, the postmaster, or what
ever he may style himself, who il

HIS AUNT WAS A MEAN ONE
Man ouarrels with Aunt and Sends
Itemized Account of Character
istic Failings.

Thackeray once wrote that
there were some actions so con-
temptible that only woman, love
ly woman, could perpetrate them.
Yet we heard not long ago of hus-
banda suburbanite, we are hap.
Ply to say-whO used to read hor-
rible murder cases to his nervous
wife at the breakfast table so that
she would not be able to eat. We
were under the impression that
MIR. Daniel Quilp left no son and
heir.
We now learn from a London
journal that a man quarreled
with his aunt over some question
of an allowance, then accused her
in a letter of a "miserly and utter
ly heartless nature" and inclOsed
an itemized statement of her al.
legged mean practices, which he
threatened to circulate among her
relatives, friends, all the neigh
bOrs and shOpkeepers, and all the
members of her church. Women
have undue influence at present,
and he was bound over to keep
the peace. What did auntie do
that was so mean? She counted
the asparagus left after a meal so
that the servants could not eat the
healthful tips and stalks and es.
cape undetected. Well, many
many hOusekeepers exercise such
vigilance. Some provide a wholly
separate table for their help, and
do not consider grape fruit, oys-
ter crabs, asparagus, when it is a
delicacy or indelicacy, out of sea-
son, to be indispensable to the
welfare, bodily and spiritual, Of
the domestic.
The aunt regarded mustard
when served with beef as a useless
extravaganza" Here again is Il
subject for discussion. They that
eat simply for health and to be
disagreeable to men and women of
stronger or careless stomachs
would applaud her. Yet we find in
"HOratius Sanitatis" C490) that
if mustard be "drunk fasting, ii
makes the intellect good" and Ger.
ard, a century and a half later, as.
sures us that mustard "helpeth
those who have their hair pulled
off" Beef was supposed by the
Elizabethans to do harm to the
wits. See Sir Andrew Ague.
Cheeks famous remark. Mustard
! was a corrective. When Charles
Lamb thought of his friend as good
for cannibals he also thought OF
their adding "the cool malignityo OF
mustard" But hundreds today
shun the condiment as a burner oil

The report on the methods of the meat
packers, made by representatives of the
government delegated for that special
work, has been transmitted to Congress
by the President, accompanied by mes,
sage urging the prompt passage of rigid
measures looking to the correction of the
filthy conditions existing at these big
slaughter and packing establishments.
The report is calculated to prove any
thing bat paying advertisement for the
products of the big packing houses, re-
citing as it does, in plain terms, the out
rageous conditions which prevail, telling
of unclean workers, who are regardless
of sanitary and decent habits, and the
foul surroundings of the food products
while being handled and prepared for
market, which will prove nauseating
dose to those who take the time to read
it. That portion OF the report dealing
with doctoring of tainted meats was not
given out, and promises to be even more
unpalatable than the rehearsal of the dis
gustingly unsanitary conditions allowed
to exist at these establishments. where
everything was supposed to be kept in
the most Clearly manner possible.
The report has served to remind the
public of the embalmed beef scandal.
brought to light by the Spanish-Am
war, when it was asserted the diseased
meats furnished by these same packing
establishments for the soldiers caused
vastly more deaths than Spanish bullets.
AS a result of the exposure of the alb
horrently filthy conditions which prevail
in the preparation of these food products
it is expected Congress will take immedi-
ate action by passing the bill now before
the House looking to the improvement of
conditions, although Speaker Cannon,
who is charged with being beef trust
representative, is expected to throw all
manner of obstacles in the way of the
m easure.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1905.

Death has closed the career of one of
the most powerful political bosses who
ever manipulated elections. that of Ar
thur Pue German. Cool, calculating, re.
sourceful, he played the game of politics
to win, if not by fair means, then other
wise. German was, in fact, professional
politician ever, and could in no sense lay
claim to the title of statesman.
Starting as a page, he was careful
student of politics and rose to the seat of
United States Senator by those methods
which belong to the old school, and are
fast losing ground in the present era of
political revolutions. He was a Senator
of the Quay type, welding powerful in
huence in the political affairs of his State
through his mastery scheming and in
trigue. One of the most corrupt political
rings ever in existence, it is charged, was
the German Rasin ring, which was ever
fertile in inventing means Of debasing the
ballot, and for years held undisputed
sway at the elections in this State.
With the rapid change of times, his
school is passing, and such past-masters
of machine organization who control
elections by ''gumshoe" methods are
being supplanted by men of the type of
Bryan and La Toilette, who do their fight
ing in the open, and stand for clearly
defined principles, not being classed with
that vast army of party" men who
blindly support any colorless platform,
made by scheming leaders solely with
view of winning voters, and represent
ing no definite policy.

The littleness of the Pennsylvania rail
road, one of the richest and most power
full corporations in the country, is shown
by its action in cutting the wages of
block telegraph operators. The last legis-
lature of Maryland passed law limiting
the continuous hours of service of this
class of employees of the road, upon
whose shoulders rest such heavy respon.
sibilities for the safety of the travelling
public, to eight hours. immediately
this law, which was passed for the
purpose, of compelling this rich cor
poration to treat these operators
with all fairness and consideration in
proportion to their responsibilities, goes
into effect, this big corporation shows
just how small it is by serving notice of a
reduction of eleven dollars per month in
the wages of the operators from SIS to 50.
Meanwhile the high officials with
princely salaries are being shown up by
the Interstate Commerce investigation
committee to be about as big "a gang of
corrupt grafters as there is in the country.
Added to their numerous graft and rebate
schemes, may be the pawnbroker mileage
book illegal plan of compelling the
travelling public to lend them an i'm :
mense sum of money without interest.
These and other schemes of extortion
practiced, not alone by the Pennsylvania
system, but by the railroads in general
throughout the country, have caused a
lot of thinking by the public which is tir.
ing of this continual holdup and moving
slowly but surely towards the time when
the government will take the roads into
its hands and operate them for the good
of the people, and not for gang of
grafters.
