The Dry Falls of~Lodore.

Southey's description of Lodore has given to that charming friend of holi- day days a reputation which is lit- tie unfortunate. It has brought to its course wOrshipers from afar. when there has not been a cupful of water to perform as much as the meanest of feats which the poet describes. One such visitor was an American. He had seen Niagara again and again. He read Southey on the wonders of To- dore and once more visited the vast cataract of his native land. Then, feel ing that. after all, Niagara must be very small potatoes compared with the falls of which the poet had sung. he came to England in quest of Lodore, resolved to consecrate his holiday to the contemplation of its beauties and grandeur. He set out the moment he reached Keswick and long walked and tOiIed over rocks and powders. He could not find the falls. Ee rested and asked a native, Can you direct me to the falls of LOdoreT' Why, you're a-settin' on 'em.- was the heartbreak- ing answer. The falls of all the ad- jeCtives were dry!-St James Gazette.

The. lady had to buy another set of teeth, think ing the old ones stolen. Two weeks later, at another dinner party, tie Duke of Aldersgate, by an upfor- tunate coincidence. received the iden- tical teeth-containing bowl in which to perform his post-prandial ablu- tions. That he was actually bitten is not stated. MT Yellowplush de- scribes the historic scene as follows:
 "Blobbblobgob" began his grace of Aldersgate, who has got the widest mouth in all the peridge. when all of sudden he stopped, down went his wash and-basin, and he. gave such piercing shriek! such a bust of agony as never saw. except when the prince sees the ghost in "Hamlik;;" down went his basin and up went his eyes. I looked into his grace's plate. and. on my homo: as a gnlmn. among the amins and reasons there was two rows of teeth.

The efforts made by the state of
 Louisiana to keep out the cotton boil
 weevil have been unsuccessful. and the commission having charge of the
 matter has about given up the fight says an exchange. The conclusion arrived at was that the weevil could not be exterminated. but that it's destructive operations could be kept down in a measure by the farmers in careful planting and burning the stalks. Meantime the commission has had to turn and fight the Guatemalan ants, which were imported to destroy the weevil, It has proved more of a menace than the weevil ever was. and is now seriously threatening both the orange and sugar-cane industries by its ravages. These same ants almost wiped out the sugar plantations of Grenada. in the West Indies. in campaign which extended over ten years It was a silly and disastrous to import these nuisauces to the United States. which already has more insect pests than it can han dle. These creatures cant be used like sleuth-hounds to run down any particular game. and are sure to fol- low their appetites into new fields.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1907.

Two months more and the sixiieth congress will convene and the issues will be discussed which divide the parties, says a Washington writer. There has been no more important session of congress, as far as party politics is concerned. for the past ten years. at least. The republican lead CTS seem determined to stand pat on the tariff, by refusing to consider the revision of even the most trust protecting schedules, It is also ex- pected that DO effort will be made to strengthen the railroad rate law, nor do they new intend to pass any anti trust legislation. Speaker Cannon, for he will certainly be reelected, de- signs to pass the appropriation bills and adjourn at the earlist date pos sible All reforms are to be post poned until after election--that is, re- vision of some kind of the tariff is to be promised and assurance given of control of the trusts and corpora tions. but as such pledges have often been made before other presidential campaigns. their fulltilment can he taken with due allowance and the

Ronseyplt's
President

President Roosevelt's several speeches last week contained little new regarding his attitude toward corporations and railroads, and they asserted nothing calculated to dis turb the stockholders of honest and law-abiding corporations. says Banker Clews. One of the worst features Of the situation is the unwillingness of some of the great corporation man- agers to obey the law. For ali con- cerned 1t would he far better If oar corporations would adopt compliance with rather than resistance to legal requirements Public opinion would then he pacified. just and reasonable reforms would be possible. and there would loo much less hostile federal and state activity. But so iOng as some of our ablest lawyers devote themselves to legal evasions. to beat ing the law. and corporations pay them high sums for such services. just so long will public discontent. continue. Corporations have their political fu- ture very largely in their own hands. and resistance to present legal re- stTaint is likely to result in increas- ing rather than diminishing govern ment interference

THE MAN OF MODERATE MEANS
He Sets Forth Briefly Why Though
 Poor He Travels in parlor Cars.

''No,' said the man of moderate
 means, 'I don't take parlor car
 when I travel because the fine cars
 are more strongly built ard so safer,
 nor do I take it to avoid the crowd, | for I don't tuink I am better than
 anybody else, and, as matter of
 fact, I might not find any better | company in parlor car than would be found in my limited re- sources, which would prompt me all ways to take an ordinary coach; but
 really take . seat in par!or car simply to avoid being crowded. It is like this:
 When l rode in the situps, as used to do, always got to the sta tion early, so that could get a seat in the middle of the car aryi a place by the window where I could lean my elbow on the window comfort ably. Then, having thus secured the best seat in it, watched the car fill up, always with the hope that it would turn out that I might keep that seat all to myself, but always in more or less trepidation for fear not so much that somebody would want to sit with me as that that person would be somebody who was very stout; for am in body, like my purse, rather lean, and SC leave beside me in rhe seat a considerable vacant space, which is likely to prove attractive to persons of gener- ous dimensions.
 So when l caught glimpse of stout person coming along the aisle and l saw that stout person pass me by looking for a seat alone I was grateful, and I thought to myself there's a chance for me yet; but more often this stout person would pause at my seat and look at me and say:
 Is this seat taken 9 and I, as in honor bound. would reply:
 :" No sir or No. madam as the case might be, and then the stout person would prepare to crowd in The bulky gentleman, or the stout lady, would wedge in between the back of the seat in front and the arm of my seat, wedge in slowly and carefully, then when we'll clear Of the arm, and so of necessity we'll over toward me. settle back and slowly into the seat, more or less crowding; it might in fact be completely blan- keting me, thus not only quite upset l ting but more than nullifying all the precautions that had taken to in- sure my comfort, making me uncom- fortable perhaps for my whole jour- | ney: far worse of than l would have been if had come late and taken an | aisle seat, without the advantages of the seat at the window end, but with | a thin person.
 Tt is for this reason that. notwith- standing I am a man of moderate means. no longer ride in the situps when travel. New York Sun.
