At the Circus.

From the Washington Herald.
 The most distinguished visitors to the big circus in Washington yesterday were Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, re- tired. and Master Quentin Roosevelt. The former commanding general of the army accompanied his daughter, the wife of Major Reber. and her two children. and seemed to enjoy the tinsel and the clat- ter and roar of the show even better than did his little grandchildren. Gen eral Miles looks not a day older than when he reluctantly quit active duty in the army by virtue of his attaining to the age requirement.. He Is still the most military looking man in the capital. and in any assemblage would be voted the handsomest man.
 Master Quentin Roosevelt was accom- panied by one of the Presidents military aides, Lieutenant Bulmer. of the navy. who commands the Sylph, one of the naval tenders set aside for the pleasure of the President and his family. The youngster had as good time as any of the other hundreds of lads who were ex- cused from school half a day to enjoy the circus. He was joined under the big tent by some of his schoolmates and Lieuten- ant Bulmer saw to it that the crowd conducted itself with proper decorum. which seemed to be a tougher job than maintaining discipline among the tars.

The Home Builders.

From the Boston Post.
 Children" said Judge Willard Me- Ewen, at dinner in Chicago, "are the great home builders. A lack of children means unhappiness, divorce. In the ma jority of the divorce suits that l pass on and l pass on a hundred a month the couples are between 30 and 40 years O. age, and childless.
 "So children should be prized and cher ished despite their faults. Faults they have, I will admit.
 "Only the other day I heard of little girl, who,- lunching out, was detected in the act of examining large yellow hand ful of Spanish omelette into the pocket of her pink frock.
 "'Why, you little pig exclaimed her mother, what on earth are you about? Put that back on your plate at once. Why, l never heard of such thing. What on earth do you mean by it?'
 It is so good. muvver,' the child ex- plained, I just thought I'd take a piece ho-ie to our cook for a pattern.'

Preparing for the Game.

From the Havana Daily Telegraph
 A couple of ostrches broke loose aboard the steamer Allemania, which arrived here from Nice Tuesday morn ing, and there were things doing on the Allemania for while or longer
 The ostriches were consigned to the firm of Barbour & Pearson. who have established an ostrich farm in Mari anao, not far from the palace occupied by the late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee when governor of Havana
 MT. Barbour had gone aboard the ship to take charge of the unloading Of his poultry, taking with him Cuban youth as interpreter. The interpreter was the cause of all the trouble.
 Ostriches, like falcons, are tractable when they can't see, and so when 1t is desired to load or unload them they are hooded The interpreter asked MT. Bar bour if it wasn't hot for the ostrlches with the hoods over their heads, and MT. Barbour conceded that 1t was, at the same time stepping into the cabin to at tend to some papers. The interpreter, misinterpreting Mir Barbour's assent to his obviously correct remark upon the weather officlously unhooded two of the desert chicks, and trouble began imme- diately to ensue and kept right on en- suing.

The kick of the ostrich is known to be as deadly as that of that other formidable bird, the Arizona night ingale." but the ostrich Is more danger ous, because he can kick you when you are in front of him, whereas the shave tail'' has to turn around
 But all this is Aggression. The two birds romped about. while crew and passengers took refuge below or aloft, and they yob- bled few belaying pins and bo'- heads

 The sudden activity aboard the Alle- mania, caused by tle loosng of me birds. had been followed 0v enforced dlencss of all hands, and the problem of how to un- load the rest of the cargo became a se- rious one, the captain sweating loudly that he couldn't affor1 to pay de:ruirage on account Of Il couple of bAHhed dry land stor.ry petrAls. Finally some one suggested that they might be caught by sprirIling sarr on thei- tails ana the ocok was ordart-1 up from his faiicy with a sack of salt. He came up pale anh trem- liing, and hcsousht shr caprahi to c3n- slider how dag 1t w)tl he for m to approach .he felthered nonstsis. but the captain swore he'd clap him int irons If ne dlun :. ooey orders, and corSy was saved oriy py he timely interposi;or Of an ornithologist among the passengea s, who called the angry captains attention to the fact that ostriches haven't any tails.
 One who had travelled In Africa then Tanned 0Ope dSdlu IltO q HCher Dy SuS- gesting that if they only had some sand for the ostriches to stick their heads Into they could catch them easily-that that was the way they always caught them in the desert where there is plenty of sand.
 A boat was at once lowered from the offside of the vessel and dispatched to the city for sand. When it returned with its cargo the sand was hoisted aboard and dumped on the deck at the end far thest from the cstriches, and made into nice heaps like gigantic golf tees, after which several of the crew were sent around In the boat to the bow of the ship, at which end the ostriches were to say "Shoo!. The ostrches wouldn't "shoo. as they had found keg of nails and so were taking dinner
 brave lady went out among the sand dunes and called, "Birdyi birdy." but the desert scorchers disregarded her blan,ish- ments. A small hoy asked the captain why he didn't scutt,e the ship and drown 'enl alive like the plruts da." About that time the birds finished the key of nails and came majstit,i:v stalkrrg att but teeth with their toenails. The orpitholo- teeth with tftair toen1lis. rhcmritholo- gist suddenly remembered that ostriches in captivity are very fond of broken bot ties, especially for dessert and two of the crew were at once set to work breaking bottles.

"lt's Up to You, John Henry"


 Charley Grapewin, who made "The Awakening of MT. Pipp' famous, will be seen at the Bijou theatre all this week in the new Hobart comedy, "It's Up to You, John Henry" which has sprung into universal favor and Is pronounced one of Hobart's cleverest writings. There is something considerable in the line of a plot to the play and around it hinge funny situations and climaxes in which the ir- repressible John Henry figures most prominently In addition to it's humor there is lot of very pretty music and numerous catchy songs, among which may be mentioned the big hits, "Aristo- cratic Annie" Right in This Old Town." "Strolling" My Lonesome Little Louis jana Lady" "Old Bill Oliver and others, including the sweet singing of the "Rur- aldene Quintette.'
 The story of "John Henry" has to do with the troubles of slangy young man who gets his fiance's uncle. a wealthy soap manufacturers to consent to his mar riage and who promises to lead a different life from his former wild existence. The trouble begins. John Henry palms off the handsome suburban residence of a friend on his uncle as his own. All sorts of predlcaments follow with uproariously funny results. There is laugh in every line, and the lines come close together. In the end all comes out right, and the clever John Henry gets the girl and the cash.
 Charley Grapewin and Miss Anna Chance play the leading roles with such cleverness that the interest in the play is well sustained. The supporting company is an excellent one, and the play is well staged and prettily costumed in its every particular. There will be the usual mati- nees on Tuesday. Thursday and Satur- day.

citizens submitted because they nesd-

Mr.. Hall says that forty one years
ago there were forty-two newspapers
in the state and now there are 8O6, in
GLIDING those which are described by
enyious contemporaries as 'sorgans, y
scorpions, /" 'tblisters on the body
politic' and mere mouthings of ire
sponsible maniacs.' With 8O6 news
papers to grab off the county print
ing, it is quite evident that the pro-
ceedings of the commissioners and the
financial statement become matters of
great pith and moment. In MANY
counties in a former day there we're
intense battles between rival newspa-
pers for the printing, but as ciyiliza-
ton advanced the editors saw that
there was just as much religion in pas
sing it around as in grinding each
other to powder. Today a county
printing fight is an impossibility.
When the rural editor feels the need
of Excitement he moves the county seat.
With the esta blishment of regularity
as legal quality of a newspaper came
a greater interest in the contents and
appearance of the newspaper and an

tickets, or in a subscription TO the
bazaar. The editor likes to do things
for religion and for the good Of the
tswn, and it is nothing for him TO get
up bunch of bills calling meeting
at the schQolhouse to throw a scare
into the council on the public owner
ship question, and then retrench his
wardrobe because nobody was APP
pointed to pay for them. The job
Office with the hot-foot Gordon press
decorates the Office and enables the
editor to brighten its walls with the
fierce and sensuous calendars sent out
by the paper concerns. But as a bust
ness proposition it seldom hits the
high spots on the landscape.
The editorial association has done
much to correct the obstacles in the
way of the editor having meals every
day. In 1884 David Ramaley intro
dnced resolution requiring deposit
with all job work. It passed with
whoop.
In 1889 Brother Mcdonald delivered
a speech of great power on the subject
OF double-priced tabular matter, and
this, too, had a tendency to discourage
the wolf which is eternally shifting at

Y Country Editor As Wing Gray the Minneapolis journal

temporary structure composed of bark
on the west side. One morning Pease
came out of his front door, hurt about
something, and shook his battleax at
Hall. And thus the editorial associa-
ton began. 1t opened with knocking,
and the disagreement among the edi-
tors continued until forty-one years
ago, when they got together in ST.
Paul and agreed to have the session
laws printed in all the papers in the
state.
Since then, editorial meetings have
been held annually. Oflate years they
have allernated between Minneapolis
and st. Paul, meeting at the capital
when the legislature needed checking
up, and in Minneapolis when happi-
ness and peace prevailed in the state.
Those were days when the editor, in
addition to being the editor, was JUS
tice of the peace, city marshal and
kept the leading tintype gallery He
travelled on passes and was the only
man who could leave town on a rail
road without forfeiting all he was
worth to the corporation. His paper
consisted of free comment upon what
was going on in town, and if he forgot

to get it out one week, he did not re-
bate to his constituents, but in the next
issue inserted a paragraph to the eff
feet that I'VE scribe, having business
out of town last week, the paper did
not appear" The editor was law
unto himself as we'll as to others. But
along came a legislature which framed
a definition of newspaper. Itwas to
be so many inches long, and SO many
inches wide and SO many inches thick.
1t was to contain the news and fair
comment thereon and it must be pub
lished year, without skipping week,
before it could enjoy official printing.
This was blow at the freedom of the
press, but the editors as law-abiding

the editorial door. Wolves have so
little sense as to believe they can eat
editors and make a success of diges-
ting them.
In 1888 Barnum of Sank Center pro-
posed that patent insides be discarded
unless their morals we're guaranteed.
In l847 John A. johnson of St. Peter
committed the editorial association to
the proposition that thereafter all
governors should be country editors,
but he forgot to insert proviso that
all country editors should be gov
errors. Hence the fall down of
Robert c. Dunn.
The meeting of the editorial associa-
ton consists Of two parts: Part J. the

lntenser yearning for the news of the
surrounding towns. Hence the appear
ance of the correspondence columns,
with their "Waifs from Waverly -
"Jottings from Joppa,' "Murmurs
from Meridian, ''Rustles from Roch-
ester" Echoes from Epworth'' and
"Nuggets from Nicollet. /" The amount
of brain fag in these authorizations is
incompatible. 1t pleased the fancy
of the editor that he could do such
things. 1t extended to the headlines,
and in course of time rural editor
capped the climax by heading hang
ing "Jerked to Jerusalem"
The early editor was usually 8
practical printer and took more
pride in that fact than he would in
report that he was a practical editor.
The farmers came miles to see him set
editorial matter "out of his head,
Apparently unconscious of the admi-
ration of thrilled constituency, he
pulled his cob pipe and stuck type to
the effect that
1--WE have noticed that there is hole
in the sidewalk on Front street which
is liable to cause an accident at any
time and cost our city hundreds Of
d ollars.
We should like to know what the coun-
Gil proposes to do about it besides
drawing its salary and playing pool
over at Williams GROCERY. We
sometimes lose patience with republic
can institutions
Later on, it did not make so much
difference whether the editor was a
pratical printer. In fact, when the
typesetting machines came along, he
found that his wife or daughter could
SCI as much type after prayer meeting
Thursday night as he used to set in
week.
Next to taking wood on subscrip-
ton, what the country editor most
likes is to do job printing for nothing.
Nearly all country newspaper Offices
have job printing addition where
the editor retires between issues to
figure on the price of dodgers for the
Dorcas society, to be paid for in

Sitting on the edge of a table and
swinging his feet idly, while Frank NJ.
Eddy earnestly discussed second-class
matter from personal knowledge, his
excellency, John A. johnson, looked
good-natured and interested, but not
imperial.
''Where are your robes and your
orb of Officer" I asked him.
'"There are no governors here,'' he
replied. ''This is the state editorial
association
And there are none. When the state
editors meet, the government adjourns,
the laws are taken off, the weather is
unrestricted, wheat ceases to rise and
fall, and only settlers of very ancient
vintage venture to make any remarks.
The state editorial association holds
in its membership governor, two for
mer congressman, some senators, house
members, former auditors and other
addenda besides Frank Day, who has
ripped Minnesota from her republican
moorings just for fun, while he edited
The Fairmont Sentinel for a living.
But no man would think of going
into the editorial meeting and posing
as a statesman. 1t would be like a
guest attempting to make connected
speech at the Gridiron club. He would
be interrupted.
Reports differ as to when the state
editorial association was organized.
Fl. P. Hall has given an account of a
meeting held in St. Paul forty-one
years ago, when he and Granville S.
Pease, with a few others, organized
and foated state editorial associa-
ton. But this must be taken in a
Pickwickian sense. The fact is that
Hall did not want to give the exact |
age Of the association for fear of Of
tending some of the members who are
tryingto restore their hair. Pease does
not want it known when he first began
to edit the Anoka Union, and as Hall
won't tell, unless the actual record |
can be dug up independently, the truth
Will never be known. The fact is the
record is geological. Eons and cons
ago, when St. Anthony Falls were no
farther back than Meeker island.
Pease was living in cave on the east
SIDE OF the river, and Il. p. Hall in a
