it comes to me by freight. I go over

will be a begging letter from a famous
author in hard luck. Here in a brief
note a great actor will boast OF his
last success. Here will be a dinner
invitation from a celebrated million

their valuable letters, and some sell
them, but the majority throw into the
wastebasket most of the mail they re-

The Bed and the Candidates.

Judge Harlan and James B. McCrea-
~ once canvassed Kentucky together
as the Republican and Democratic can
didates for governor. They travelled
about the state on joint debating trip
and in many small mountain places
had to sleep in the same bed. They
were warm personal friends and so
did not object to this intimacy. One
night Air. Harlan got into bed first.
Senator McCreary was not far behind,
and just as he entered the bed Judge
Harlan raised his bulky form and said
I'm his stentorian voice, ''McCreary,
there is one thing certain-the next
governor Of Kentucky is in this bed"
AS he spoke the bed stats broke, and
Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Sena-
tor MeCreaFy caught and held himself
in bed. and, as Judge Harlan reached
the floor. said: John. you are right.

The Sonnet Writers.

The fashion of sonnet writing was at
its height in the sixteenth century.
when Rousard, the French prince OF
poets" in his own country and genera
ton, wrote over 900 sonnets, a total
which appears only to have been ex-
ceeded by Gomez de Queyedo. the
Spanish Voltaire, who is said to have
written over 1000. Fortunately for
sonnet lovers some of the best poets
have been prolific sonneteers. Petrarch.
who created the classic model which
later poets initiated. wrote 80. Cam
oens is responsible for 352, Sir Philip
Sidney wrote los, Spenser IS and
Dante so. English sonnets were first
written by Sir Thomas Wyatt Q5o3-42)
and Henry Howard, earl Of Surrey
Q517-47, and the first appearance of
any in book form was in a rare publ
cation briefly known as ''Tottle's Mis-
cellany." the full title being Songs and
Sonnettes written by the Right Hon
cure Lorde Henry Howard, late Earle
of Surrey. and other" The greatest

We may believe that the workmen are
well housed and the engineers com
petent, the peace profound and the
money wisely expended without feel
ing that we have gone any deeper into
the matter than the debates in con-
gress went. II was said that con-
gress desired to rid itself of respon-

Three years have passed away and

should not the president be now able
to assure us that the original esti-

example the building at Albany and
Harrisburg, we need not be Surpris-

given out on such points, but we have
no desire to accept these until there is
no alternative. Even after three

Tiger and vuIture of the Sea.

If the killer" whale is 1.-THE tiger Of
the sea-" as the writer of an interest
ing article in the September Windsor
has it, tina orcas surely are the vultures
of the ocean. In connection with whale
catching the author of this interesting
natural history article tells of the fol
lowing incident: Some years ago a
whaler in the northwest had killed
large whale and had the animal along
side when 1t was attacked by a school
Of orcas They doubtless were half
starved and, craZed by the scent OF
blood that extended away a long dis
lance, probably followed 1t up like
hounds, Immediately attacking the
whale. The men, with spades and
lances, cut and slashed at them, in
ficting terrible blows, yet despite this
the orcas literally tore the whale from
the ropes and carried it off. This GER
tainIy shows that the orcas, together
with a very fair share of intelligence,
are also creatures of extraordinary
courage.-Dundee Advertiser.

ton, while the capitalized East, made
rich by the plumber of the south and
west, through the debauching of such
a state as New Jersey with its IN
limited charter grants to corpora
tions, will be found now cOntending
for the sacred and inviolable rights of
the states and pointing out the danger
TO our liberties in yielding one inch
TO the powers of the national govern
menti
One of the gravest questions for
the nation to consider is the welfare
against an unfair and inhuman system
of child labor is an inquiry to the
welfare of that citizenship of the
future. And when the sacred rights
of the child are considered, as well as
the right of any state to be protected
against an unfair and inhumaE system
of labor. as allowed by another state.
there will be an insistent demand for
the suppression of the evil that will
make the issue one of the Invest ones
before the American people.
And the debates and discussions of
the subject will doubtless make such
revelations of intolerable conditions
as the discussion of the meat inspec-
/ ton bill disclosed in the last Con-
gress.
| 1t is to be hoped that the democ-
racy will be found on the right side
/ of that issue The democratic plat
form of 1892 contained an anti-child
! labor plank We believe that is the
! last platform Oh which we have done
any business. II might be we'll to try
/ that plank again.
PerhaN~ one of the far-reaching re
suits of the discussion of this measure
in Congress and its resistance by the
selfish interests will be that in the
tariff revision discussion which can,
not be much longer postponed, the
eXpioiters of infant industry can
hardly ask the American people to
! protect their infant Industries.
In any discussion of the rights OF
childhood, the child is at last bound
to win. We had an impressive les
son of the value of publicity in such
! a cause in Georgia The child labor
evil is not confined to me south by
any means. II is national in extent
| The debates in Congress will give
national publicity TO the evils of the
system. And the result is inevitable
There is no stronger appeal than
that which helpless childhood makes
and once this nation has heard the CRY
of its children If will rage like the
lioness robbed Of her whelps and rush
to their rescue and their protection.
