The Fleet Peace Argument.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

There were those who. when the feet
of battleships was ordered away on it's
long cruise belittled the idea and found
nothing of value in 1t. Today the carping
critic. whoever he may be. has no listen
ers The cruise already has justified itself.
for It is the greatest argument for peace
tina, could possibly be made. The battle
ships will be welcomed by Japan That
fact shows to the world that there is no
danger of strife between the United States
and the Empire of the Rising Sun. The
presence OF these splendid ships will dem
onstrate throughout the far east that we
have a tremendous fighting force-not on
paper, but ready for action at a moment g
notice. The long cruise has opened the
eyes of all of the naval powers.

In Kentucky!
Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Editor Watterson closes a ripping edi-
torial with the blisterins words: tiffany
unspeakable! Fanaticism intolerable! Is
the democratic party of kentucky to be
came their godfather" Something Is
still happening in Kentucky, notwith-
standing the defeat OF Beckham, to dis
turb the serenity of old-fashioned de-
There remains the frightful men
ace of prohibition which seems to sur
vive Beckham's overthrow. A crisis Is
rapidly approaching, for the very editorial
which ends with 'infamy unspeakable'
begins with the imperious question: lis
the democratic party of Kentucky pre-
pared, in convention assembled. to ira
verse a century of democratic history and
to proclaim its adhesion to sumptuary
laws so abhorrent to the fathers Of de-
mocracy?" That Is, indeed, the ques-
ton.

Consistent Gloom.

The pessimist now looks about
Amid the spring time glow
And tits his head and signs mo doubt
Well have another snow"
He listens to the robins call
And says Wherefore be gay?
The temperature is apt to fall
A heap before it's May"
The tiny buds upon the tree
To cheer him can't avail.
"Ha! ha.' cries he. Il plainly see
The fruit crops going to fall
And so he sings both day and night
His unrelenting song.
Things never seem to him quite right
Unless they're going wrong.

Every Inch q Sailor.
From the New York Mail.

From the New York Mall.
The determination of Admiral Evans to
ask to be relieved from duty on account
of illness will remove from the active list
of the navy one of its most distinguished
officers. He entered the Naval Academy
in 1860. and for nearly half a century has
been actively and honorably identified
with his profession During his long and
varied career he has taken part in two
wars-the war for the Union and the war
against Spain-and in both has shown the
courage, resourcefulness and devotion to
duty characteristic of the officers and men
of the American navy.

with all markets by wire and know
what is doing in all the markets as

Our confidential advices to regular
clients are of great value to them, and
the one per cent covers a general ser
vice that is hardly matched elsewhere.
We carry all active listed Nevada

Why the Christmas Is an Evergreen.

Most of the customs associated with
Christmas are of purely heather origin
customs which existed among the bar
barians long before the introduction OF
Christianity into northern Europe. Fol
instance. the Christmas tree, with its
lights and presents, is a combination OF
Hebrew and Morse symbolism. In the
countries where the winter god, Freyr
was venerated during the winter sol
stice week, the evergreen tree was
brought into the house and decorated.
It was consecrated to Freyr because il
was the only thing in all forest that
was alive and vigorous during the
months when the sun was travelling
away from the earth. 1t played an i'm
portant part in the heather ceremony
being carried at the head of the long pro,
cession from the heart of the forest to
the altar on which a sacrifice to Freyr
was made on the 21st of December. Al
this same season, the Celtic tribes of
fered up human victims to their deity OF
the winter sun; but the sacrificing of hu.
man beings was never practiced by the
ancestors of the Anglo-Saxon people
Among the Celts the mistletoe took the
place of the evergreen.
The candles placed on the tree by
Christian people got their significance
from an old Jewish custom, and the
date of our Christmas is practically the
same as the Morse Feast of Freyr and
the Hebrew Feast of Lights.

Women and Their Check Books.

Stories about banking accounts owned
by women, told in London paper, are
funny reading. Of one who was informed
that she had overdrawn her account it
is stated that she wrote saying that she
was very sorry, and enclosed a check
drawn upon the same bank, which she
hoped would set matters right.
Another who was called aside by the
cashier and told that her account was
overdrawn by a pound had rather the
best of it when, taking o sovereign from
her purse, she handed it to the cashier,
expressing the sincere hope that her
care1essness had not financially dis
tressed the bank.
Another story told is of a lady who
entered a well known bank and pre-
scented cross check to the cashier at
the counter, expecting him to cash it.
After glancing at it, he looked up and
said politely: I'm sorry, | cannot pay
this across the counter to which the
lady replied sweetly: ooh, shall come
around that side ?'-Dundee Advertiser.

A Puzzle in Spelling.

Of that state. man well versed in law,
but entirely self-educated, who had to
contend with the principles of orthogra-
ply all his life. In early life he had
lived In Knoxville, and for long time
he insisted upon spelling the name Nox-
Finally his friends educated him up
to the point of adding the K; so thor
oughly, in fact, was the lesson learned
that when a few years afterwards, he
removed to Nashville, nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling it NASHVILLE.
Then, some time later, the judge moved
again, this time to Murfreesboro. On
the day that he began to write his first
letter from this place he scratched his
