 He died the same morning near un1A. day.-T. P.'s London Weekly.

ARID JOURNEYS IN KANSAS

It is the Kansas idea that there shall he no end of new laws. One of these which went into effect September l. forbids the use in com mou of drinking cups on railway trains. The result thus far is a thirsty and angry spirit among travellers. There are the tanks of liquid cooness oozing tempting moisture There is water, but not drop to drink The tortures of Tantalus are recalled. The thrifty train ven dors prefer the sale of soda pop to that of paper drinking cups which yield less profit, especially as they must be thrown away after use The ginger pop is usually red, provok- ingly suggestive color. Children of passengers gather pantingy about the ice coolers
 The trouble is that travellers have not yet yearned the necessity of including among their impedimenta before crossing arid Kansas some thing out of which to drink. Pending their edu- cation, they must suffer. but not necessarily in silence. Doubtless the trains that roll across the state are resonant with comment more or less acrid about its legislation for the regula- tion of morals and health
 But willy nilly the thirsty passengers are pro- tected against germs. The hdeous bacillus shall not flourish in Kansas, even though human beings suffer Thus does the Sunfower state compel sanitation of parched lips and aching throats. Perhaps the moral is that every trav eler should study hand book of it's statutes before venturing within their jurisdiction.

THE PROHIBITION ANNIVERSARY

The prohibition party is to celebrate at Chi cago, today, the fortieth anniversary of its or ganizaton, and the occasion will be one to re- count its achievements.
 It may find sufficient reason for rejoicing in the progress of the cause it advocates but it is difficult to specify any such advance that is due specifically to that party organization. The states have conspcuously not been due to its distinct activity There, as in the west prohi- bition or more restricted license laws have been enacted by one or the other of the greater po- litical parties. Advocates of prohibition claim ed last year that in the presidential campaign their cause had overshadowed every other issue But the claim may be fairly pronounced without substance. The platforms and the candidates of both the republican and democratic parties ignored or avoided the topic. The separate vote for the prohibition candidate for president was smaller than in 1904. Whatever advance ment that cause has made >has been effected through the old parties.
 Nevertheless the separate prohibitioniSts may be as iubilant as sparkling cold water will permit. They may accord personal honor to their standard bearers who have gone down bravely in honorable defeat May all of its speeches ring with patriotic, as well as partisan eloquence. and may it's parade be as impos- ing orderly. It is interesting to note that the grand marshal is to be General Grant, who has deplored the abolition of the army canteen as Ia blow against the sobrety and discipline of the enlisted soldier. That anti temperance act of congress was nevertheless due to political fear not alone of the distinct prohibition voters, but of organized feminine influence Meantime, the government continues to derive internal rev enue from liquor and tobacco.

The Poidr Hole.

The discovery of the North Pole recalls the old fable of "Symmes' Hole' It was the con eeption of one Americus Symmes that the earth is hollow, widely open at each pole, fertile and inhabited within. In the youth of the country and its complete ignorance of polar phenomena Symmes ludicrous dream had a very consider able vogue. \ ship was actually fitted out for the warm and fertile polar region Symmes was sure existed, and the South Pole was sought as the one having the least obstructing barrier of ice before the happy extremity could be reach ed. We laugh at such folly now, but a great many otherwise sensible Americans took it seri- ously in the decade between 1920 and 1890.

An Ancient BMi0t Fraud.

.1H AHCteHt DMtOt TTdHd.
 It is discovered that ballot box stufling is an ancient offense in Boston. The forefathers had their lapses from political morality. A record discloses that in l655 there was a referendum vote upon the disposition of some public land. The ancient journal reads. "The Inhabitants proceeded to bring in their votes; and when the Select men were receiving 'em at the Door of the Hall they observed one of the Inhabitants, viz, John Pigeon, to put in about dozen with the word Yea wrote on all of lem, being charged with so doing, he acknowledged it, and was thereupon Ordered by the Moderator to pay Fine of Five Pounds for putting in more than One Vote according to Law, and the Moderator thereupon declared to the Inhabitants that they must withdraw and bring in their votes again in Manner as before directed, and the Inhabitants accordingly withdrew and the Votes being brought in and sorted it appeared that there was Four Hundred and two votes and that there was two hundred and five Yeas and one hundred and ninety-seven Nays"

 The chill Londoners find it hot when the ther- mometer scars to eighty degrees. That temper ature has shattered parliamentary traditions this summer. One member appeared in the house of commons attired in gray tall hat a light gray froct coat white duck trousers, and bright brown boots. Other members kept i'm in countenance to some extent, but the ministry, true to the requirements of their posts, were clad, as if in midwinter, and sweltered in the customary solemn black The chairman of committees were inclined to compromise be- twee tradition and comfort, for some of them wore light waisteoats Perhaps these are DOT tentous signs.
