Disaster Ahead.

"In my school days" said a story teller who was trying to illustrate the absurdity and futility of unfounded fears, i've used to have lecture every Friday afternoon. One day the lec- turer was a geologist, and chose NJ agara Falls for his topic.
 "He told us about the geological for nation of the falls, described the diff ferent periods to be traced In the gorge. and then went on to say that the falls were slowly wearing back toward Buff falo, and that in the course of some two hundred thousand years they would have worn back to Erie, Penn sylvania, and that town would be left high and dry.
 Suddenly one of the girls In my class began to sob conyulsively.
 "'What is the matter?' asked the teacher, In alarm.
 "'Oh,' walled the girl, my sister lives in Erie""

A charming anonymous bacheloi, writing of woman, says, "A man of h. tellectual tastes Is unduly disposed, as a rule, to value frankness, and this quality Is not one that women rate very high" If one looks closely into the slight feminine aversion to frankness 1t Is seen to rest on the idea that a frank statement is bound to be dis agreeable one. If l have a stoop, my frankest friend tells me of 1t. If my French accent is bad, my soup too salt, my new wallpaper too vivid. or my spring gown unbecoming, I learn these facts from the various folk who be- lieve in speaking out what they think. On the other hand, my complexion or my preserves are praised by those gen. tie souls who are not possessed by any lofty sense of duty toward social truth fulness, and who whisper their com. mendations apologetlcally, as If they decried their own enthusIasms for be. ing less useful than the fault-flndings of their critical neighbor. Women nice women-have been taught for cen- turtles that approval may be mistaken for pursuit. So they restrict approval to glance and smile. They may speak their free minds in that gloomy region where condemnation awaits the shrink ing victim, but not in the sunshine, even If that does fall on the just and the unjust. Until We can separate frankness from paingiving in the thought of women, their masculine friends must continue to bewail tho woman's lack of frankness. The truer and deeper the womanliness of the woman, the more she shrinks from in. ficting suffering. Even when 1t might be wholesome, she avoids It; and to give pain in the interest of an ab- stract ideal of frankness seems to her little less than an outrage. Is she wrong?

FOR GALLANT SERVICE.

The unyeiling of statue at Indian apolis to Gen. Henry W. Lawton, who was killed In the Philippines, renews the public appreciation of that soldiers long and faithful service. In three campaigns Gen. Lawton signally dis tinguished himself, as the printed yer dict of fellow officers bears testimony. Enlisted at the time of the Civil War, when only IS years of age, he rose rap Idly, and at % was brevetted colonel for gallant and meritorious service Af- ter the battle of Nashville Gen. Grose wrote of young Lawton:
 Capt. Lawton, with his officers and men, has my grateful thanks for will ing obedience to orders, brave and effec- tive execution for every duty upon the battle field and during the campaign" i"
 Of Lawton's work during the Ari- zona Indian troubles 1t was said:
 'It will go down in our history as one of the greatest achievements of h. dian warfare. His untiring energy and Ntdseltso puh aO" IT lhC ing. To his men kinder officer never lived, and he would never send any one to a place where he would not go himself"
 Of his part in the Spanish War the testimony Is no less clear and decided.
 "Lawton, the commander of the d. vision, Is the ideal of a beau sabreur, If there ever was one. He sits on his horse so we'll It seems a pity he should ever leave the saddle. Every feature reveals the tenacity and purpose of the man."
 "Splendldly prepared, determined, dauntless, and invariably successful as a fighter, he Is also an organizer and administrator of the first order. Sim pie In all ways. true as steel, born leader of men, he Is modest, loyal, un. selfish and patient"

Kettle Bridges of the Co..acks.

An English authority declares that the most remarkable bridges in the world are the kettle bridges, of which Cossack soldiers are expert builders. The materials of which they are con. structed are the soldiers lances and cooking kettles. Seven or eight lances are passed under the handles of a number of kettles and fastened by means of ropes to form a raft. A sufa- cient number of these rafts. each of which will bear weight of half a ton, are fastened together, and in the space of an hour a bridge Is formed on whi.l an army may cross with confidence and safety.

THE FEE SYSTEM DOOMED.

By voting onto the new convict bill
an amendment providing that all
money arising from fines and for
FIXTURES shall go into the public
treasury the house of representatives
has put itself on record as opposed to
the fee system as means of paying
officials. The consideration of the
amendment took the form of a dis
cussiOn for and against the fee sys-
TEN, those favoring the amendment
being in the attitude of favoring the
adjustment of all fees, while those
opposing the amendment were nat
urally thrown into the position of
supporting the fee system. While
heated discussion was precipitated
by the introduction of the amend
ment it nevertheless was carried by
a vote of 102 to Sc.
The custom of paying with fees or
perquisites any public official of state,
county or municipality is wrong in
principle and often pernicious and
unjust in practice. But it is doomed.
1t may not be abolished just now,
but it will be soon.
