Where Red Hair Is DisIiked.

In Cornwall. particularly the Lands
End district. it is not advisable to dub
person "a red haired Dane" though
In most parts of England. especially
inland, the expression would as likely
as not provoke no comment at all or be
regarded as simply frivolous.
At police court case heard In 1867
at Penzance town hall it came out In
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant ga red haired Dane"
and this. led to an assault. The strong
repugnance Of Cornishmen to be dubbed
by this strange appellation is as strong
as ever
The Celtic nations hated the Danes
and were always fighting them. And
not only In Cornwall. but also all along
our coasts. where the Danes or Morse
men made their ravages. this deep
rooted prejudice against people with
red hair. red headed" more or less
remains ingrained in the national char

A Bird. With Som. Good p,;,t.

Some years ago in an agricultural
district In England there lived a farm
er who wanted to sell one of his cows.
There was not at that time a weekly
paper in which he could advertise. so
he resolved 10 follow a local custom
and ask the vicar of the parish when
giving out his notices at church to adj
vertise the cow.
Eyes. farmer" said the vicar, II
should be willing to oblige you, but
you don't attend my church"
Presently, however. they struck a
bargain that the vicar should adver-
tise the cow, and the man in return
promised to go to church. Now. un-
fortunately the man was deaf, and on
the Sunday following when the vicar
gave out the banns of marriage be-
tween Joseph So-and-so, bachelor, and
Sarah So-and-so, spinster. the farmer
took it for granted that the vicar was
giving out particulars of his COW and
shouted out:
You might as well say while you
are about II that she is most gentle
creature and entirely free from vice."

MEN WHO TALK.

The two rulers of the world who
have done the most talking during
the last few years have been Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, and William, Emper-
or of Germany. Both are men of
supreme activity, great in their re-
spective spheres. Each has strong
views on nearly every subject and
has no hesitation in expressing HIM
self.
During the recent campaign, the
Democratic party attempted to make
capital out of this tendency Of
Roosevelt to talk on all occasions.
And now in Germany, all political
parties are STIRRED up over certain
statements of the Emperor The
Chancellor threatened to resign and
was only prevented from doing so
by the promise of the Emperor to re-
frain from much talking.
We are inclined to think that this
tendency of President Roosevelt and
Emperor William has its good points.
There is. little question that Roose-
welt has been one of the most popu-
lar and strongest of our presidents.
And much of his strength and pop
ularity has come from his preaching
to the people and from his taking
them into his confidence. And with
William his strong assertiveness has
kept Germany in the forefront in all
great international movements.

THE SALOON CASES.

The trial and dismissal of the sew
en- saloon men by the Police court
on the charge of selling liquor to a
minor, settles nothing. There seems
to be little question that the boy Sc
cured liquor somewhere and from
certain saloons.
The first case was dismissed under
a ruling of the Police Judge that the
proprietor of the saloon could not
be held if he had given orders to his
barkeeper not to sell to a minor. The
barkeeper alone was responsible.
This is not and cannot be good
law. The saloon men are licensed by
the city to do business. They are
expected to conform to the law.
They cannot be allowed to break that
law with impunity. We have heard
that our saloons are conducted in an
orderly manner and in conformity
with the law. But the saloon keeper
must be held to a strict accountably
for the acts of his agent, just as
every other business man is.
There has been more or less talk
for some time of a movement against
the saloons in this city. The surest
way for the saloon men to precipitate
such a contest, is to violate the law.
Every time saloon man is arrested,
whether justly or unjustly, every time
saloon case is tried no matter what
the verdict, it makes against the sale
Of liquor. 1t behoves every man in
the liquor business to see that the
laws are strictly obeyed and enforc-
ed.
