The Unfinished Song.

The late Senator Quay circulated a
story wherein Speaker Cannon is repre-
sented as singer. The occasion was a
political banquet, where a discussion
arose over the song, "The Old Oaken
Bucket"
Senator Quay remarked: 81 never
heard it sung through in my life."
81 will bet you 81 that can sing it
through" asserted Mr.. Cannon.
"Take you" said the senator, land
the POSTMASTER will hold the stakes and
be referee"
Mr.. Cannon cleared his throat and at
tackled the famous old melody with grim
earnestness. At the end of the first
stanza Senator Quay got upon his feet
and interrupted the song.
81 wish to say if may be pardoned,"
he commenced, shat 1 dislike to lose
81, but l am willing to concede the
stakes to my adversary and take his
word for the accuracy of his knowledge
if he will stop singing right where lie

President Manuel Amador of Panama
tells this little tale of certain Cuban
millionaire:
Gan unfortunate man once obtained
access to this millionaire and started to
lay before him his woes. He depicted
his wretched poverty In most vivid

mans sad story that the millionaire felt
himself affected as he had never been
before. With tears in his eyes he sum-
moned his servant and in quavering
voice said:

Save the English Tongue.

II there is any one subject in which
American school children are deficient
it is the proper use of the English Ian
guage. How anybody, who overhears
the average conversation of crowd of
average school boys, can come away with
anything but the sort of feeling he would
have after witnessing murder, is in
comprehensive except on the theory
that the man is himself regular perpe-
traitor of linguistic crimes. Fortunately,
there are many exceptions among school
boys on the side of good clean speech,
but, in the large cities especially, the
English language in the mouths of
school boys is largely-one is tempted to
say chiefy-an outpouring of vulgar
slang, barbaric sentence construction
and pronunciation so drawing and
slovenly that the street gamin's influence
is apparently proved far more powerful
than anything brought to bear in the
school room.

BOSTON, MASS, Jan. 23.-(Spe-
ciaD-Gen: Robert Shaw Oliver, AS
sistant Secretary of War, in an inter
view here at the National Guard con-
vention, said that while Japan
is at present a friendly country, what
the coming year might bring was
another matter.
THE United States is preparing for
the future" he went on. "The ten
million appropriation is wanted by
the War Department in order to
equip the army with clothing, blank
cts, and other material, to be used in
time of war, as the present equipment
is not up to the standard. 1t will fur
nish equipment for 100000 fighting
men, and the appropriation should
be on a scale of $2.50O,0O0 each year
for the next four years.
Should the bill be passed, we
would be ready to handle a quarter
of a million men with the material
stored at various parts of the coun-
try"

with which Japan is fortifying For

COOPER MET USUAL
SUCCESS IN PITTSBURG
Received Thanks from Hundreds While in the
Smoky City.

The following article, taken from
the Pittsburg Press, describes the re-
suits of L. T. Coopers visit to that
city, and the effect of his new prepara-
ton as told by people who had be-
come convinced of the soundness of
Cooper's theories with regard to the
human stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that
most i'll health of the present genera
ton is due to this fact. The article
is as follows:
Il T. Cooper is meeting with the
same astonishing success in Pittsburg
as in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of Pittshurg
people have called at his headquarters
to talk with him.
"COOper's prophecy made upon his
arrival, to the effect that before he
left Pittsburg thousands would realize
that his theory is correct and would
come and thank him for what his
medicine had done, is rapidly being
borne out
"On Monday an astonishing number
of people called to express their graft
tude to Mr.. Cooper. Judging from
what some of these people had to say
to a Press reporter, when interviewed.
