NOT LIKELY TO LOSE MUCH.

In many places, including New Ha- ven trolley managers have been and are entirely reasonable about transfers. In New York perhaps they haven't t been as reasonable. Anyhow, there has been much complaint there. There was so mucil that law was passed fixing & penalty of $50 for the non issue of a transfer. This law has just been tested, and the decision is that the penalty cannot be enforced unless Athe transfer slip were asked for in good faith, with the intention of using it. That a demand for transfer in the hope that it will be refused. and $50 may be collected instead, is not such a good-faith demand as the in- ference of the law requires. The court says in it's opinion: Tt will be noticed that only a passenger who has been 'aggrieved' can maintain an action to recover the penalty, The plaintiff was not aggrieved. Indeed, she would nave been disappointed had she received the transfer demanded, because in that event the purpose of her taking the car would have been frustrated"
 This decision indicates that the street car companies of New York will prob

SPRING, THE LING ERER.

Such a cold April shower as began Sunday night and continued Monday might not seem to have in it the prom ise of May flowers, but it was there. It will pan out all right when the time comes for the May flowers. Meanwhile we will gently admonish Spring that it is almost as reprehensible for it to lin- ger in the lap of Spring as it was for it to finger in the lap of Winter. Let 1t not further finger anywhere, but come rapidly up this way. The poet has been amply justified in saying that Spring comes slowly up this way, " And now that the poet has been justi- fled and the coal man unusually pat ronized, change to days that are real ly balmy is needed.

FOXY.

A farmer in Cheshire, England, sus- pecting from the terrible racket in his hencoop that a fox was raiding 1t, slip ped bag over the henslide. When one of his farmhands entered the hem coop the fox sprang into the bag. Elev- en fine fowls lay dead, four were badly maimed and had to be killed, and the unharmed fowls cackled loudly. The farmer took the fox and the dead fowls and drove to Marbury Hall to show them to the Hunt Poultry Fund secre- tary. When the bag was opened the fox appeared, hen walked out after the fox, an egg rolled out on the floor, and, of course, the farmer was puzzled. The fox in his flight from the hencoop knocked the hen into the bag, where the egg was laid.
 Although this happened in an Eng fish farmyard, it Is much like what happens sometimes in politics in this country. Why didn't the fox eat the hen?

STIEL FEEDING lEM.

Awhile ago there was talk that Aus tralia, Argentina and some other places were going to take such part in feeding the world that the campaign ora tors of this country would be ham pered in their talk. But the other feeders haven't made any startling im- pression on our magnificent providing yet. It appears that last year our ex- ports of lard were of the value of $57,- 9S4,S29; of live cattle, $SS, ,273, ,1S2; of ba- con, $35, ,SS6, 152; of fresh beef, $24,751,- 284; of hams, $20, ,356; of oleomarga- rine, s17, ,SO9 ,936; of pork other than ba- con and hams, $14,126,314; of tallow, $5,- 729S58; of butter. $4,54S,356; of live hogs, $19 ,17S, ,499, and other meat pro- ducts, canned and otherwise, were of values ranging from the three million to the half million mark, with Eng land taking 615 per cent. of the total and glad 10 get ll. The toldl eAporlS of meat and meat products for 1906 ex- ceeded $25O, ,OOo,OOO
 So we are still feeding 'em, and next year there will be no embarrassment felt by the spellbinders as they tell about 1t. A benevolent, a benefcent and a resouceful country is pretty good one to live in.

POLITE AND WISE.

There is renewed talk that President Roosevelt will be persuaded, or forced to again be a candidate for the presi- dency, and there is undoubtedly great deal of desire and some intent that he shall run. But he has said nothing to justify anybody in thinking that he didn't and doesn't mean exactly what | he said when he said he should not take another nomination. And we now have a declaration made by Jacob Riis, who talked with the President yesterday. MT. Riis said that the President meant what he said on the night of the elec- tion in 1904, that he would not accept another nomination for the Presidency, MT. Riis said he took the President at his word "All the President wants" said Mr. Riis, lis to see that his poli- cies are carried through"
 MT. Riis does not claim to speak thus by direction, or authority, but there is every reason to believe that he spoke truly. It will be both polite and wise for the people to initiate Mr. Riis and take the President at his word.

 Inspect the lower jaw of course; The six front teeth the tale will tell, And every doubt and fear dlspel. Two middle nippers you behold Before the colt is two weeks old; Before eight weeks two more will come Eight months the corners cut the gum The outside grooves will disappear From middle two in just one year, In two years the second pair In three years corners" too, are bare. At two the middle ''nippers" drop; At three the second pair can't stop; When four years old the third pair goes; At five a full new set he shows. The deep black spots will pass from
 view.
 At six years from the middle two; The second pair at seven years; At eight the spot each corner clears. From middle "nippers," upper jaw, At nine the black spots will withdraw; The second pair at ten are bright; Eleven finds the corners clear.

What can be done is shown in the case of a remarkable blind man, Jo- seph Warnock, who died recently in Alleghany county, in Western Mary land. Although sightless for forty years, Warnock was never dependent on others for help. He cleared land, made saw logs, worked for farmers
 could pitch hay, now, rake and bind grain, make Ghingles and do almost anything that person with eyesight could: He made 800 to 500 excellent shingles a day in the winter, which he traded at the stores for such commod- ities as he required. There are houses in Homecoming and Barton to-day that still have on their roofs shingles made by this blind man. After the shingle timber was exhausted Warnock turned his attention to making handles for picks for the miners, His ability in going around through the woods and mountains without getting lost was amazing. When he found a suitable tree 1t was soon felled by the strokes of his ax, and the portions he wanted were chopped off. He could invariably tell in which direction the tree would fall He was fond of music, and learn-
