John F. Stevens, formerly chief en-

the papers to say that the canal, even
If ever completed, which he seems to
doubt, will never pay expenses either
in peace or war, and will be no aid to
American commerce. The best COM
mentary on this which we have seen
from any source comes in a few
words which speak volumes, from
Paul Cook, the pungent funny man of
the Birmingham Age-Herald. Paul
says:
John F. Stevens says the Panama
Canal should be abandoned. Mr.
Stevens is well-known gutter.
There you have it in a nutshell.

worse appear the better part during
long professional career. These
days We are confronted by stern and
menacing criminal conditions-not
fine theories of criminal procedure,
and under the goad of such conditions
We feel no disposition to congratulate
lawyers on their records of ''unbroken

brag about in the cold light of reason

punish the innocent, We should say
that under prevailing conditions this
country right now would be more
largely benefited by an unbroken rec
ord of convictions than of acquittals
1t would be to the glory of any law
yer that his life was spent in vindi-
eating innocence under accusation,
but we are unable to detect the halo
about his brow when he devotes his
service to the acquittal of innocent
and guilty alike.

THE LOBSTER WISE.

There was a man in our town.
And he was lobster wise;
He thought he'd run his business right
And never advertise.
He filled the store with lots of goods
Good goods they were and low
In price; but not word said he
To let the people know.
They had the money in their clothes.
They had the wish to buy.
And this wise man, who knew they had
OF printers ink was shy.
The quality and price, he thought,
Were quite enough to win.
And 30 he waited day by day
To see the trade rush in.
But did it rush? On, yes. it rushed,
And he was sore surprised
To see it rush across the street
To where they advertised.
The Iobster-wise one stuck it out;
The quality and price
OF what he had he knew would WIN,
And they would quite suffice.
At last the sheriff came around
To make the thing icomplete
And then the lobster-wise one got
A lob across, the street.

SORTS.

Several years ago the Rev. Mr.. G.
was one of the leading Baptist cler-
gymen in one of our eastern cities.
One Sunday evening after the usual
service a couple came up to him and
asked if he would marry them. He
agreed to, and the ceremony was per-
formed without incident. After the
usual blessing the newly married
couple went down the aisle toward the
door When they reached the en-
trance, however, something seemed
suddenly to occur to the bridegroom,
for he left the bride and came back
to the pulpit where the minister was,
and said:
"Parson, haven't got any money
to pay for this job, so Ill be glad IL
you will trust me. III pay you as soon
as I get the money"
'AH right" replied MI G.. Pay
me whenever 1t is convenient" and
the man again started for the door.
A second time he came back, this
time to say:
'Parson, it's raining. Excuse me,
but will You lend me fifty cents so
We can get home. l can't take her out
in this rain, you know"
He got the fifty cents.-Fort Worth

Andrew Carnegie is said to be fond
of quoting the witty remark made by
an old friend of his in Pittsburg, who
for some time held the record for
fast horses, but was one day beaten
in brush by a young man. The old
gentleman disappeared for some
time. He had gone to Kentucky to
get a horse that would re-establish
his supremacy. He was being shown
over a stud and had already gone past
long string of horses with their
records on the stall and the victories
they had won. Then he was taken
! through a long line of young horses
with their pedigrees, from which the
dealer was proving what they were go
ing to do when they got ON the track.

the dealer and said: Look here,
