A Sham Love of Country.

"Our country" is an entity of which
most American citizens are proud
They love their country. They will
serve it, they will die for it; they re-
sent any insult to our flag, and would
make war with all the world rather
than submit to dishonor And yet
thousands of our countrymen who thus
cherish a national ideal are grafters,
bribers, or bribed, advocates of cor
ruption and agents of it in all that
pertains to the business Of the ma
ton. They do not love the nation,
but they love their country. The
latter is an ideal, like religion. But
the nation they regard as an every
day affair, and their dealings with it
like the business they do with sharp
traders, in which each man considers
lawful plumber whatever he can make
by exercise of his wits-Christian

Where Is the Lake of Constance

The Lake of Constance, or Boden
See, over which Count Zeppelin has
been maneuvering in his airship,
might have to become a forbidden
region for airships if the proposal to
prohibit them from flying over foreign
territory were internationally accept
ed. For the lake is bordered by Swift
zerland, Austria and three German
States-Bavaria, Wurtemberg and
Baden, and has itself been neutralized.
1t is one of the greatest surprises
in political geography that awaits the
tourist to discover that Constance. al
though on the southern side of the
water, is not in Switzerland, but in
Baden, although, after the repeated
shifts into Germany from Switzerland
and into Switzerland from Germany
on the train journey from Bale, he is
prepared for anything. - London

To Refund City Bonds

The mayor and council of this
city, at their meeting Monday
night, employed c. l. Long and A.
L. Noble to undertake to refund
the city's Indebtedness in five per
cent bonds. A number of years
ago Messrs. Long and Noble were
employed by the city to compro-
mise bonds and they succeeded in
calling in about $4,000. Their
commission was eight per cent of
tie saving made to the city. The
present fees are to be the same.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
city is $4,000. The accrued in
terest and unpaid judgments ag-
gregate $1I,22o, and there is a
floating indebtedness of nearly
$4,000, which makes the total
Indebtedness of the city about
$4,000. H. P. Wright who holds
$27,226.8o against the city offers
to settle for IS per cent and the
mayor and council have accepted
this proposition contingent upon
their ability to sell refunding
bonds. This would be saving on
this item of almost $1,000. Messrs.
Long and Noble were instructed to
also correspond with The Colonial
and US. Mortgage Co., who hold
the other bonds and see what could
be done toward settlement.
On July 1st $4,000 and accrued
interest, of Colonial bonds became
due and if no settlement can be
reached tax levy must be made
year hence to take up this in
debtedness.
The city's taxable wealth is now
100000 and hence it is believ-
ed there will be no trouble to sell
refundiDg bonds.

An amusing instance of ignorance of

occurred recently On a quay at AL

placed near a quantity of infiammable
material, which suddenly caught fire.
The firemen, instead of removing the
boxes of carbide with hooks. smashed
them. and then turned water upon the
contents. The result was a great de-
velopment of acetylene gas and a de-
structive fire, which might have been
prevented by little practical knovL
