WHERE EUROPE EXCEEDS.

An esteemed contemporary claims to have searched with great diligence the columns of the European press. and no where does 1t find the marriage of Prince William of Sweden and his Rus sian bride referred to as "a love match" This union of Bernadotte and Romanoff blood attracted worldwide at tention because of the great prominence of the families of the contracting par ties; not because the bride and bride groom were anything extraordinary in the line of human beings-though 1t does seem singular, to America's way of thinking, nevertheless, that it was frankly accepted by Europe at it's face value and devoid of false sentimental trimmings.
 The wedding and its treatment by the European press simply serves again to illustrate the fact that they do some things better across the water than we do over here. If one of our heiresses swaps carload of her good American money for a broken-down title of for eign persuasion, we can't get the news of it without wading through reams Of sentimental slush founded upon nothing but the mos mawkish sentiment. No matter how tainted the title or how odorous the career of '' is 'ighness, we are unfailingly. inevitably, and most positively assured that the wedding is the result of "a pure love story" Of course, nineteen times out of twenty il is nothing but the most shameless of bargains; but that doesn't head of the sloppy writer determined to make it a ''purs love match" Not at all; that party is unswervingly attentive to his or her, job.
 Europe, it appears, takes the matter in hand for just what 1t is. If, as ir the case first cited, 1t is an evident af fair of state, Europe doesn't try to con vince itself otherwise. If 1t is mere matter of money, Europe doesn't minct words in saying so. The people of that continent are more or less used to titles kings, princes, and things, and they have rid themselves of many false no tions concerning them, even though they do tolerate them as legal and semi-lega institutions.
 After all however, our imaginative efforts to convince ourselves that these matches are more often than not found ed upon personal esteem, respect, ant even love, may be, in measure. to thu credit of our decency, if they do d. great violence to our common sense. Tn, old-fashioned notion that wedloci should be predicated on love was ; mighty good one; like the old-time re hgion, 1t should have been good enougl for any of us. It isn't altogether ; matter of regret that we should strug gle to attach some such redeeming feat ure to the average international mar riage involving our countrywomen- which is, unless the records speak false practically always union of none! and title. But the European plan is th' better plan. It is tho. truthful an' straightforward method. It doesn't de ceive, or attempt to deceive. any one We think we prefer it.

AGAINST STOCK WATERING.

A bill of far-reaching character for
the further regulation and control of
railroads and other corporations by the
federal government has been introduced
in congress by Senator Dolliver, of Iowa.
1t follows the suggestion conveyed by
the presidents message regarding the
desirability of placing telegraph and tel
ephone companies doing an interstate
business under the control of the inter
state commerce commission. But the
chief design of the measure is to stop
the watering of stock by railroads and
also by the telephone and telegraph
companies which are brought within its
provisions.
This is a corporate evil which the
government may we'll attempt to cope
with. There are probably some rail-
roads in this country which are not
overcapitalized but on the other hand
there are undoubtedly more which are
loaded up with stock, a considera Bile
portion of which is water" 1t is
hardly probable that the present water
in the stock of the railroads and other
corporations can be squeezed out by
statute or in any other way except on
the initiative of the men who control
them and there is no reason to expect
that such steps will ever be taken by
these gentlemen. But the future wa
tering'' of stock can be prevented. 1t
ought to be and that is what the Dolli-
yer bill aims to do
In order to give the interstate COM
merce commission full supervision over
the Issuance. of securities of interstate
concerns Senator Dolliver has incorpor-
ated in his bill the LaFoIlette plan pro-
viding for physical valuation of pro-
perty.
1t is provided that no interstate con-
Germ shall issue any share of stock un-
less the par value of said stock has
been paid in cash into its treasury, or
unless 1t is issued in exchange for pro-
| perty or securities at value not to ex-
| coed actual value equal in amount to
at least par Of stock.
| The bill permits corporation after
the expiration of two years to sell its
stock at a discount, provided the inter-
| state commerce commission gives its
| consent, which consent shall be regu-
| lated according to the welfare of the
| public in regard to such transaction.

FATE.


He had made sixteen ascensions on a fra
gile aeroplane
without becoming spattered through a
fall;
He had crossed the continent a dozen
times or more, by train,
And never suffered injury at ALL.
He had been a master diver for ten
years without mishap.
He had served in mines where many
perilS lurked:
But Fate was merely waiting to undo
him, poor old chap,
And it was shameful trick, too, that
she worked.
He had riveted on buildings that were
thirty stories high,
He had painted flag poles for a living,
too;
He'd been hunted by Night Riders when
the moon shone on the rye,
And he'd had appendicitis, pulling
through;
But his daring all is ended. he will risk
his life no more
Last Monday he ingloriously died;
An eager hunter, thinking him a rabbit,
shot before
Discovering that he was but a guide.

Archaeology in St. Louis.

So many wonderful objects have been
found in carrying on the excavation for
the new public library that a stimu-
lating inquisitiveness begins to pervade
those of us who have followed the pro-
gress of the digging there. Besides
great blocks of stone and underground
walls of cement, which supported the
old exposition building. a large brick
conduit has been discovered which must
have been in use half a century ago,
before the sewers were lowered to pro-
perly accommodate a city where the
buildings now extend several stories
below the surface. The remains of the

to crop out as the delving goes on. We

era of the ancient "amphora." or beer
mug with the reinforced bottom long

total amount of beverage was decreased
to a slender amber thread. between the
foam on the top and false underpln-
ming beneath. We refer to this vessel
as an "amphora" because it is more
classic. 1t differs from the Greek am
phora in that the ancient one had no
bottom at all, while the Teuto-A American
one of the middle of the last century
was all bottom. Among other relics of
a former civilization-if we don't mind
what we say-that have come to sight,
are a number of wire articles somewhat
resembling small rat or mouse traps,
semi-cylindricaI in shape, which were
incomprehensibIe to the workmen. 1t
was thought advisable at first to call
