SAME OLD OBSTACLE.


One of the most active opponents
Of pure food legislation at Washing
ton was Warwick NJ. Hough, general
counsel of the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers association. On the
very day that DR.. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, succeeded in
getting an executive order forbid
ding the adulteration of whisky, Mr..
Hough while driving motor car
punctured a tire directly in front of
that bureau.
Just then DR.. Wiley himself ap-
peared ON the scene.
''This is certainly one on me-"
said Mr.. Hough, genially, pointing
at the punctured tire.
"1es," replied DR.. Wiley, grimly,
'you can get by everything in this
country except the bureau of chem

MONARCH NOT MUSICAL.

Some time ago it was reported
that King Peter of Servia was COM
posing his own anthem. The state
ment first appeared in Berlin news
paper, and ultimately found its way
into the international cables. As a
matter of fact, the announcement
was received at Belgrade with some
incredulity and amusement. His
majesty is by no means musical. A
prize for new national anthem was
offered, but it seems unlikely that
the king himself should begin study
ing harmony in order to supply the
want. The only musical member Of
that royal family is the crown prince,
whose possession of gramophone is
the delight of his neighbors, and it is
said that groups of children often
may be seen dancing to the tunes on
the pavement under his open win
doWs.

tuted Reflection on Philadelphia
Coal Dealers.

The teacher of one of the rooms
in school in the suburbs of Cleve-
land had been training her pupils in
anticipation of visit from the
school commissioner. At last he
came, and the classes were called out
to show their attainments.
The arithmetic class was the first
called and in order to make good
impression the teacher put the first
question to Johnny Smith, the star
pupil.
Johnny, if coal is selling at six
dollars ton, and you pay the coal
dealer $24, how many tons of coal
will he bring you?"
Three" was the prompt reply
from Johnny.
The teacher, much embarrassed,
said, "Why, Johnny, that isn't
right"

WIRES KILLED CRANE,

A large crane is hanging by his
neck ON the telephone wires at the
southwest end of Hog island, oppo-
site buoy No. 2, and how the crane
came to die by hanging has been a
mystery and a topic of much specu-
lation among the ferryboat pas
sengers.
1t is thought the crane suddenly
swooped down to nab its prey, and
not taking heed Of the telephone
wires, Topped its long neck about one
of them and was jerked down to
death. The accident is a queer one.

WHEN President Roosevelt said
on the eve of election, we have
the Democrats beaten to a FRAGILE, ,"
everyone in America knew what
was meant. Over in London how
ever they dissected the word fraz-
zle'' did not know what it meant,
don't cher know. The London
Times office was kept busy answer
ing anxious inquirers that fragile"
is derived from 'frazil." Frazil"
means anchor-ice, and the Times
gave it out on the authority of
Charley Stewart, the American
manager of the European Office of
the United Press, that fragile" is
the condition to which an opponent
IS reduced when ice forms on his
boots because of realization of i'm
pending defeat. In other words
fragile" is merely an augment
alive of cold feet" This ex-
PLANTATION is erroneous says the
Star. Phi1ological1y the word
FRAGILE is related to onomatopoelic
terms like frizz1e," "nnizzle,"
dizzy" "woozy," and especially
razzle-dazzle" and bambooz1e. I"
All these in some degree express
what happened to the Democratic
party. Hornswoggle" is thought
by Chairman Mack to be in the
same class. The condition of
frazzle' may be illustrated to our
esteemed contemporary by the con-
dition of the British armies after
Majuba Hill and Bunker Hill. See
also David Jayne Hill and D. B.
Ditto. 1t means skunked, white
washed, goose-egged-and con-
scious of the fact. To be beaten to
a frazzfe' is to be beaten to pal
pitant pulp, to light froth, to a
gasping standstill. If the matter
is still obscure to the esteemed
Times, it may obtain a perfectly
accurate notion of what FRAGILE"
is by noting what the Democratic
party was beaten to.

FROGS ATE CHICKENS.

some time been missing young chick
ems. Near the house is pond and
Mrs. Ferguson declares that she saw
a frog leap from the water, catch a
chick which had strayed near, and
leap back again with it.
The pond has since been drained
and every frog, dozen or more,
slain. Now no more chicks are

SENATOR STEPHENS of. Crook
ston will introduce a bill in the
next senate which will provide
means by which the families of
prisoners can share in the earnings
of prisoners while they are in the
penitentiary. Considering the en-
orrnous earnings of the state penal
institution as reported by Warden
Wolfer, the senator believes that in
common justice the state should
provide for the families of prison
erS who are a source of revenue to
the commonwealth and it is under
stood that Warden Wolfer takes
the same view. The senator has
taken the matter up with Chief
Justice Start and Justice Brown of
the supreme court and they have
given their approval of the measure
and believe that it would be a just
and humane law. 1t Is more than
probable that the warden and the
senator will outline bill to be pre-
scented at the next legislature
which will cover the matter.
