Crushing the Citrate.

One Of the first tasks they set the
new curate, who was handicapped by
youth and inexperience, was to investi-
gate the bona fides OF widow wo-
man" who had applied to the church
for help. He departed nervously on
his errand and knocked, as Ill luck
would have 1t, at the wrong door.
How long has your poor husband
been dead. my good woman? What
number of children have you? Are

The records in the war department
In Washington are as a rule very dry,
but occasionally an entry is found that
is humorous.
An officer of engineers In charge Of
the construction of a road that was
to be built through a swamp, being
energetic himself and used to sur
mounting obstacles, was surprised
when one of his young lieutenants
whom he had ordered to take twenty
men and enter the swamp said that he
could not do 1.-THE mud was too deep.
The colonel ordered him to try. He
did SO and returned with his men Gov
cred with mud.
Colonel, the mud is over my mems
heads. can't do it."
The colonel insisted and told him to
make a requisition for anything that
was necessary for safe passage.
The lieutenant made his requisition in
writing and on the spot. 1t was as
follows:
Il want twenty men eighteen feet
long to cross swamp fifteen feet
deep."-Harpers Weekly.

From his farm Judge Blank was in
the habit of supplying the preachers
of all the churches with flour, corn,
hay and vegetables free of cost. He
also kept the country supplied with
venison from the herd of deer which
he kept for many years. He built a
big smokehouse in the rear of his
grounds. One night, unseen himself,
he saw a man emerge from the smoke
house with side of pork on his Shout
der. He recognized the intruder, but
said nothing. A week afterward the
fellow approached him, saying, Judge,
l understand you had some meat stol-
en- from your smokehouseT The old
judge raised his hand deprecatingly
and said: Ssh! No one on earth
knows anything about that but you
and me."-Argonaut.

The "Naaurn and the Fiddle.

Here is story that Frederick Doug
lass used to tell about himself: Once
when he was in Dublin he felt very
lonesome. He was wandering about
the streets when he was attracted by
two violins in the window of second
hand dealer. Frederick entered and
asked the price of one of the instru-
ments.
Five shillings, sor," said the Irish
dealer.
Frederick tuned the violin and began
to play Rocky Road to Dublin" Soon
the proprletor's wife heard the music
and entered the rear door. Then Fred
erick started in on 1.-THE Irish Washer
woman" and the couple began to
dance for dear life. When the music
and dancing stopped Frederick ten
dered the dealer 5 shillings, but his
performance on the violin had greatly
enhanced its value in the mind Of the
storekeeper, and as he hurried away
to place of security he exclaimed:

The associated banks of Sioux
City have formulated a plan for is
suing an emergency currency.
They propose to organize district
clearing house associations COM
posed of all banks in certain dis
trict, and have congress authorize
these associations to tissue circu-
lation based upon the credits of the
country in which they are located. "
The objection to this would seem
to be that most of the banks in
times when this currency would be
needed, have no more credit than
is required to secure their deposit
ors. Would this plan not add the
amount of the issue to the obliga-
tions and diminish to that extent
the security of the depositors ?

an outline of the policies that he
will stand for. The first premise
is to support the policies and meas
ures advocated by Pres. Roosevelt.
In other words he promises to be a
cuckoo. He criticizes Sen. Kit
redge for voting against the pro-
posed amendment to the rate bill
providing for making the physical
valuation of railroads the basis for
fixing rate charges. Pres. Roose-
welt opposed this amendment and
still opposes such policy. His
other criticisms of Sen. Kittredge
are mostly based upon acts of pre-
vious legislatures, the Senator be-
ing charged with all of their alleged
sins both of commission and omis-
sion. Such charges are simply
good for campaign arguments, but
we apprehend that they will not be
received very kindly by members
of the previous Legislatures, many
of whom are now supporters of
Mr.. Crawford and whom he virtu-
ally charges with being puppets in
the hands OF Mr.. Kittredge.
Mr.. Crawford says he favors
"the early completion of the Pana-
ma canal according to the type and
plans adopted by the administra-
ton" But it now seems necessa
ry to change the plans adopted by
the administration. Since the
plans were made, larger vessels are
being built, some SO large that they
could not pass through the locks
as now planned. To accommo-
date these it will be necessary tc
increase the length of the locks 25C
feet and the width 90 feet. This
will greatly increase the cost, and
the time of completion. Does the
governor favor this change, Oh
must he wait for the administra
ton to speak before he can tell US

But what could Mr.. Crawford do

These are state issues and be is

Crawford must shoulder the same
responsibility for the last legisla-
ture. Why were these matters not
regulated by the last legislature !?
No recommendation of a 2-cent q
mile rate was made by the govern
or to the last legislature. Several
such bills were introduced but were
killed. Representative Trumbo

providing for the sale of 5O0mile
