Lacked Presence of Mind.

In the criminal court in Baltimore a
darby was on trial for stealing a
watch which he had pawned. He was
identified by the owner as the person
who had grabbed the watch out of his
pocket, yet the darby claimed he was
innocent. When asked how he came
IN possession of the watch, he said:

STARTLING FOR THE EMPEROR.
Pretty Present Sent to tn. Ruler Of
Austria.

A day or two before Easter very
carefully tied up little parcel was left
at the Hofburg, addressed to the en-
peror. 1t was viewed with some sus-
picion, and as the orders are never to
accept anything that has not been
commanded, it was about to be re-
fused, says the Vienna correspondent
Of the London Standard, when sound
OF song was heard from within.
The servants made one of the cham
berlains acquainted with the facts, and
it was decided to open the packet In
side was found very neat little cage,
and inside the cage gpry young star
ling, which, as soon as light and air
were let in, began to whistle series
Of the most popular airs of the season
A letter attached to the cage begged
his majesty to accept the gift Though
the sender was aware of the strict
veto against offering presents to the
emperor, he hoped that an exception
might be made in his favor, as he had
spent nearly year in training the bird
to give a moments Easter pleasure to
his sovereign.
The tone of the letter pleased his
majesty, and while he was talking to
the official who had brought it the star
ling began to pipe so loudly that his
majesty broke off the conversation to
listen, and decided to send the bird to
his grandchildren, at Lainz, for theil
amusement, also giving instructions tc
find out the sender, if possible, and |
give him a suitable return present

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2o.-That
there will be no letup in the Roose-
welt policy of warning against rot
tenness and corruption was en-
phatically declared by the president
today in an address to the delegates
to the department of superintendents
Of the National education association
during their reception at the White
House. Continuing, the president
gave his views on educational meth
DDS at considerable length and with
characteristic catholicity of thought
and vigor of expression.
1T is idle for any man to talk of
despairing Of the future of this coun-
try or feeling unduly alarmed about
it If he will come in contact with you
that you represent" said the president.
Fundamentally this country is sound,
morally no less than physically.
Fundamentally in it's family life and
in the outside activities of it's individ-
uals the country is better and not
worse than it formerly was.
This does not mean that we are to
be excused II we fail to war against
rottenness and corruption. if we fail
to contend effectively with the forces
of evil. and they waste their time who
ask me to withhold my hand from
dealing Herewith. But it is worth
while to smite the wrong for the very
feason that We are confident that the
right will ultimately prevail

The term dignity of labor, implies that
manual labor is as digniied as mental
labor: as, of course. it is. Indeed, the
highest kind of labor is that which
makes demands upon the qualities of

body.
Physical prowess and physical ad-
dress are necessities. They stand on
level with intellect and only below

the position of the man who works with
his hands as being ordinarily and in
good faith as important and dignifed
and as worthy of consideration as that
of the businessman or professional man.

Is Senator Joseph Benton Foraker's
brother a Taft man. or is the president
less black than Senator Foraker, presi-
Dental aspirapt, has painted him? The
escape at Third and Townsend streets
on Tuesday of four Chinese who were
being brought here from Texas for de-
portation throws the searchlight of
publicity upon a political incongruity.
The United States marshal for Texas
who was in charge of the Chinese is
Creighton NJ. Foraker, brother of the
Senator VINO has opposed Roosevelts
nominees for the office of United states
marshal in Ohio. New York and other
states on the ground that the president.
has an alleged bad habit Of appointing
none but Taft men to office.
The president must have overlooked
his hand in Texas for it is not snppos-
able that Marshal Foraker is a traitor
to Senator Foraker the latter having
obtained the appointment for the
former. But, anyway, the Chinese es-
capped, and the marshal may have to do.

There were 26 Chinese in the party
