Twsin's Emancipation.

An honorary degree was once con-
ferred on Mark Twain by humble in
stltution In Missouri town that had
known him when he was playing Tom
Sawyer there In real life.
1t happened that the degree confer
ring ceremonies took place one lazy day
In June when newspapers generally
were suffering from total collapse OF
everything In the way Of news.
One New York news editor raked
the land with a 6gurative fine tooth
comb and got dry haul for his pains
Then, recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day, 1t occurred to him that message
direct from the famous author might
relieve the situation in the news Aft
er much scratching Of the editorial
idea factory he evolved this query
which was transmitted to Mark Twain
by wire:
How does It feel to be doctor of laws7
Please wire answer at our expense
After wait of several hours this
characteristic response came hot over
the wire from Missouri:
1t feels like emancipation from ignorance
and vice. MARK TWAIN.

Many LANGUAGES Of Mexico.

During the fiesta Of Christmas or the
week OF All Souls and All Saints. when
the Indians swarm down from the
mountains with their holiday wares
for sale, visitors in the City Of Mexico
may notice the strange language that
the vendors use In addressing each
other. Even when they turn to serve
the purchaser their Spanish Is neither
Castllan nor Mexican, but Is frequent.
ly broken by peculiar syllables and
accents. This is merely an llustra.
ton of the fact that the Indian Ian
guages of old Mexico have not been
entirely submerged by the conquering
Spanish, and In some of the most re-
mote districts of the republic various
and distinct languages handed down
from the pre-Columbian era are still
spoken In their pristine purity by many
tribe members. -Mexican Herald.

Anti-iniunetious.

Attorney General Wade H. Ellis of
Ohio. who was a member of the COM

form made by w. J. Bryan. The at

date for president. and the further
charge that this plank merely declares
the existing law and will give no relief
In those cases in which there has been
an abuse or discretion or the apprehen
sion of It Is unworthy of any lawyer
who has examined the question.
The anti-injunction resolution Is a
frank, clear statement OF the Republic
an party's position on a question on
which others have been attempting to
deceive labor. The sole basis Of any
rational complaint as to the Issuance
of injunctions In labor cases has been
the use of the writ without notice and
the long delays In some Instances which
have interviewed before a hearing of
the case.
The present statute does not require
any notice at all before the granting Of
a temporary order. and 1t La entirely
within the discretion of the court to
postpone to any time the judge may
see fit the hearing upon the question Of
an injunction. The Republican plank
simply declares that notice shall al
ways be given unless an lrreparable
injury will result from delay, and in
that case there shall be speedy hear
ing provided. 1t will meet the approval
of every right thinking man. whether
an employer or an employee"

Riding a Canal In the Desert.

DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer was the guest OF a rich Ham
burg merchant. The merchants son. a
young man Of a somewhat sentimental
temperament. said among other things
that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert on the back Of camel. He
thought such a ride must be very poet
ical indeed.

explorer, II can tell you how you can

camel on the deserts Of Africa Is like

high as possible and put 1t in a wagon

and after you have not had anything
to eat or drink for twenty -four hours
