One OF the steam shovels engaged
in work on the Panama canal, in the
operation Of which more than 300 EN-.
ployes were engaged, recently lifted
out a quantity Of dynamite which is
described in an official report as being
more than a bushel." What would
have happened II the shovel had
struck the dynamite instead Of the
earth around It is easy to imagine.
The explosive was in sticks three
quarters of an inch In diameter and
five inches long, and the cartridges
bore the trademark Of French manu-.
facturer of dynamite and date which
appeared to be November 20, 1887.
Unquestionably the dynamite was put
in by the French and either failed to
explode or was abandoned when the
work ceased on that part OF the
French waterway. The dynamite ap
peared to be in perfect condition.

According to an English newspaper
Aldershot has been much excited over
the death of q cat, and there will prob
ably be much conversation between
the Scots Guards and the North Stat.
fordshires. The colonel commanding
the latter was riding down the lines Of
the Scots Guards with two fox terriers.
There was a bit OF a tiff between the
dogs and the cat with three kittens,
and the colonel threatened to kill the
cat. The cat was caught, but escaped
from the hands Of three drummers OF
the Scots Guards, who were looking
after their pets. The colonel dis
mounted, caught the cat in the fork OF
q tree and killed 1t with his riding
whip. The case against the colonel
was preferred by the s. P. c. A. The
Aldershot magistrates who refused to
convict the colonel said in effect:
Guilty, but don't do 1t again." Now
the question which agitates the royal
long.named society is, what would
have happened II q drummer had
killed the colonel's fox terrier. Which
was the agressor?

Worthy Versus Worthless Citizens.
KANSAS

Worthy Versus Worthless Citizens.
A professor In lie Antcyer Thee
logical seminary once met q man going
TO the town meeting. Said the pro
fessor: What are they going to bring
up at the meeting to-day. Brown
Brown replied. with a snarl: Il dun
no what they're goin' to bring up. but
whatever It is. I'm goin' to oppose It."
The zeal Of this particular citizen was
OF questionable advantage to his town.
Some so-called reformers have q spirit
unfortunately similar. says a writer In
Appleton's Magazine. An Irish team.
ster In q certain New England town
hires a man to drive for him when.
ever the license question is put to
vote. He takes the whole day on. He
votes no license himself. He gets as
many others as he can to vote the
same way. A gentleman asked him
one day why he took so much trou'
BILE. He answered.: ME boy died OF
rum an do what can to keep other
folks boys from dying the same way"
This ignorant teamster is a citizen OF
the highest type. A gentleman OF
high standing in the same community
boosted that he never voted at local
elections He said: why should ] 60
through the farce Of casting my bal
lot? This town is run by lot OF low
and corrupt politicians. My vote
doesn't count. I've no time for senti'
mental shams." This scholarly gentle
man Is a citizen Of the lowest type.
He is stupidity selfish. Were he intel
ligently selfish. he would protect his
interests as a citizen just as he pro-
tects his professional interests.
