Will bring q premium, beyond all
doubt as they may and will be used

national banks, and they Will be dis.
posed of to the highest bidders. But
the greatest need to relieve the strain
was more circulating medium, and this

1t was announced this week that a

ship squadron to the Pacific, new

Karl Noglesang, who was with the
Presidential party on the recent trip
to Panama and who it is said made Il
particularly good impression on the
President then. The command of
the Mayflower is more or less per-
snnal appointment with the President
SO it is evident that Commander No-
glcsang has made Il good impression.
1t is announced that the Navy De-
partment has had to send an agent
abroad to purchase Whitehead tor
pedOeS owing to the fact that the
supply of torpedocs in this country
was not large enough to meet the de-
mand. As matter of fact the De-
partmcnt has had an agent abroad
for some months trying to get hold
of torpedoes, but Japan has cornercd
the output of the Whitehead factory
for more than Il year ahead, and this
Government will have to he satisfied

it is announced that the Newport
station will be turning themout in a
little while and this will assure us
of supply that cannot he corncrcd

That WEAKNESS to the Flesh.

"Of making books there is no
end, affirmed the preacher, far back
in the primitive ages, (Eccl. XII. ~
and it seems that his warming, in
the context, that much study is n
wcarincss to the flesh" has not
backed early and truly orthodox ex-
perience, to restrain impetuosity of
the present age. For we find news
papers (books) multiplying, near and
far, an addition to our local dali
les and the prospective issue of
two metropolitan papers (ponderous
books" of many pages at Aber-
deem and Tacoma, being events of
the present and near future.
1t seems that people did not differ
much in the old scriptural times
from those OF the present day, but
strange to relate, the experience of
ages does not cause the people of
to-day to heed the voice of Wisdom,
for avoidance of WEAKNESS of the
flesh. y Their inetfectiveness, at
that time, which caused Job to pray
that his adversary might write a
book which he declared he would
" take upon his shoulder and bind it
as crown" Job XXI, 35 -36), was
amply shown.
But then, what does it matter in
the common race of human life?
Why should we bemoan the newt
able? Switching back to Ecclesias-
tes, we find that there is, after all,
very little difference between wise
men and fools (Eccl. ii, 12-16), that
one event happeneth to them all, "
and the query is made How dieth
the wise man? Even as the fool.
All is vanity and vexation of spirit.
1t seems. however, that it is the
part of both the wise man and the
fool to avoid much as possible of
that WEAKNESS of the flesh, which
holy writ says, and experience proves,
attends, in a general sense, all liter
ary ventures in this most popular
field

ROOSEVELT will asSuredly have to
be accorded the palm for simple life,
if it be true that Quentin, his son,
makes the White House parlors
the habitat of Il choice selection of
snakes. 1t is related that he lately
frightened Attorney General Bona
parte, and couple of Congressman
out of "A years growth by sudden
ly appearing in the President 5 Office
with Il number of these reptiles
coiled around his body. To add to
the picturesque and startling effect,
Quentin travelled on roller skates,
in that act, and as he neared the
visitors the snakes hisscd and darted
forked tongues that denoted a well
come of the sanginary order. After
frightening his fathers visitors. the
boy sailed forth to the blue room
when a party of lady visitors were
thrown into Mysteries by his unusual
and startling pets. Who will dis
pute, after this, that Roosevelt has
not better right than any other
man to pronounce judgment upon
nature fakirs?

Enflishman Says We're Sharp.

Detroit Times.
Lord SholtO Douglas was talking
at dinner in Detroit about Ameri-
can business methods.
Since | have been q bagman-I
mean drummer - for iewelry
firm" said the young man, 4" | have
learned to admire American business
methods tremendously. To succeed
here, though, one needs to be very
sharp and clever. Indeed, the sharp
ness and cleverness of American buy
ers is constant amazement to me.
The other day | was in a village
general store endeavoring to make q
sale of jewelry, when a farmer en-
tered.
Give me- said the farmer, q
half pound of tobacco, three bars of
soap, five yards of blue baby-ribbOn,
and pair of good suspenders.
The articles were brought forth,
inspected, approved, and wrapped
up. They came to 95 cents.
"' Yes said the farmer, '95's

You advertise 5 per cent. dis

We do, sir, said the clerk, but
only on purchases of 81 or over.

Is IT IGNORANCE, OR TOTAL DE-
rRAvITY?-One of the most remark
able evidences of stOlid Indifference
to the magnitude of their crimes is
shown by the Sloan trial for divorce,
at Tacoma, recently. After it was
proven that both Mallory and the
wife of Sloan were guilty of adultery,
and that Mallory with the connivance
of Mrs. Sloan had accomplished the
debauchery of her 11-year-old daugh-
ter, Freda, for which he was under
Indictment in the Thurston county
court, they both appeared at the
trial with all the buster and bravado
of honest people. After a divorce
was granted Sloan and custody of his
daughter, the late wife in passing
him by hoarsely shouted, IN fix
you yet, you bruten' 1t was only a
few days previously that Mallory and
the woman friend made an attempt
to kidnap, Freda, the daughter. from
the home of her aunt, Mrs. Redding,
at SnOqualmie, where she had been
placed by order of the court. Judge
Clifford, in reviewing the case, ad-
ministered the most scathing con-
demnation of the acts of the two CEN
trail figures OF this disgusting drama.
