merit.

Mr.. Croker, at a banquet, said of a
boss of the past:
mo wonder he succeeded. He was
so kind to his supporters. 1t was his
boast that he never forgot a friend.
In his zeal to live up to that boast ne
sometimes made mistakes.
"Once, for instance, an Albany sup
porter got married. and, on the birth
of a little girl, invited the boss to
come and be godfather at his daugh-
ter's christening.
"The boss was always busy. He
was always getting his appointments
confused. And three months behind
time, he turned up at his Albany sup
porter's home with a vague idea
that something or other was expect
ed of him-he didn't know exactly
what.
Greeting him the supporter gave
a bitter laugh.
$50 you haven't forgotten my lit
tie girl, after all?'" he said jeeringly.
"Of course I haven't forgotten
her. said the boss. He selected one
from a large bundle of papers in his
wallet. Here is her appointment to
a $4,000 clerkship in the Smithson-
ian. '"-Selected.

DECLINING RACIAL VIGOR.

The real, innocent, old-time child
is no more, says the Oregon Journal
Instead, we have the prematurely old
child. We are to have a race Of ner-
vous persons if this manner Of rails
ing children is continued Such was
the outburst Of DR.. Isaac Abt before
the Chicago Medical society Friday.
The degeneracy Of the hour entered
into his theme.
Outbursts from Chicago are often
Chicago-like, but this one borders on
the rational. An article in Life and
Health bears out the Abt contention.
The parent Of today. it urges, lacks
the vigor Of the parent OF Yesterday.
Degeneracy in infants is due to degen-
eracy in parents. That this degener-
acy exists among adults is too evident
to be ignored. In an examination for
admission to the English army few
years ago half the applicants were re-
jected OF 60,S61 recruits only 29,-
SIS were accepted. Ten years ago.
one in three was rejected, now it is
one in two OF medical men who
applied for admission TO the Ameri-
can-Spanish war about two-thirds
were rejected on account OF physical
disabilities. In Germany fully one
half the young men between the
ages Of IS and 22 are rejected as un-
III for army service. In France.
though the standard OF physical ad-
mission TO the army has been repeat
edly lowered. II becomes more and
more difficult to keep the ranks fill

that Col. Dan Lesh, the alleged wealth

Col. Lesh will get sympathy from
anywhere. Although he tried to evade

MAKE THEM RESPECT IT.

Before this is read it will be known
whether or not Governor Chamberlain
has been elected senator upon the
first ballot taken by the two houses
Of the legislature in separate ses-
O.. ...,.
merits of the case will be the same.
Governor Chamberlain ran for sena-
tor upon the understanding that if he
received the popular vote and the
people chose a statement No. legis-
latue. he would succeed Senator Full
ton. Both these things came to pass
and he is therefore entitled to the
office, regardless of what the legis-
lature may do.
After the result of last June's cleo
tion became known there should never
have been a shadow of doubt as to
who would be senator. There should
never have been any opposition to
Chamberlain. The fact that many
men sought to defeat him was a re-
Election upon the legislature for the
opposition to his election was based
upon the idea that the statement leg
islators were men who might break
their oaths.
II the legislature elects Chamber
lain upon the first ballot today the
honor of the statement members will
be vindicated. But the same will not
be true Of those who have sought to
suborn them to betray their trusts.
Those men should be shown emphat-
ically that the people of this state do
not approve of the methods they have
followed. Then, perhaps, when the
people of this state vote again for a
United States senator their choice will
be more respected.

As the angel ISRAELI,
And the giddy Stars $50 legends tell)
Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell
OF his voice, all mute.
Tottering above
In her highest noon.

Bushes with love,
While to listen, the red levin

Which We're seven),
Pauses in Heaven.
And they say (the starry choir
And the other listening things)
The Israfeli's fire
Is owing to that Tyre
BY which he sits and sings
The trembling living wire
OF those unusual strings.
But the skies that angels trod.
Where deep thoughts are duty
Where Loves grown-up God
Where the Houri glances are
Imbued with all the beauty
Which We worship in a star
Therefore, thou are not wrong.
Israfeli, who despisest
An unimpassioned song:
To thee the laurels belong
Best bard. because the wisest!
Merrily live and long
The ecstasies above
With thy burning measures suit
Thy grief. thy joy, thy hate, thy love.
With the fervour of thy Lutte
Well may the stars be mute.
Yes, Heaven is thine; but this
Is a world of sweets and sours:
Our flowers are merely-flowers
And the shadow of thy perfect bliss
Is the sunshine Of ours.

Where ISRAELI
Hath dwelt, and he were I.

A mortal melody,
While a bolder note than this might

eyes
Pour out their human butterflies;

The lights are lit in lanes OF Joy.
The great mart twinkles. dome to

The magic hour of home, sweet home!
This is the magic hour-how bent
Is old man Whiskery Six Per Cent
How gray Is Care and grim is Toll.
But bark how echoing notes recoil-
The clock strikes six. the wheels are

Good night to spindle and to mill.
Good night to desk and store and den
It's home sweet home sweet home

This IS the magic hour-the sea
Hath told the ships off shores OF lea;
In roaring cities, marts OF men.
The bells ring rest. the lips sing love,
The battle waits, flags furled above:
Away away. turn off the steam,
It's no for home, sweet home Of
dreaml
This is the magic hour-they climb
For fairy tale and nursery rhyme:
The low flame flickers on the hearth,
Good night, good night, rings round

From mill and shop and street and

They come, they crush, the happy peo-
pie;
Through lane and street, DER field
and foam,
Swing home to home. sweet hour OF

HOW BERLIN HOUSES HER POOR

Berlin has cooperate tenements
whose inmates have light and air in
plenty, and where there is every evil
f.u.- os scientific thoug in housing
the poor On the other hand. there
are over 1000 people living in under
ground tenements in that imperial
city. whose dark holes are still unreg-
ulated by law. Begging is a penal Of
fengc n Berlin, and professional vag-
abondage is "sternly punished" yet
500 900 people seek refuge in the mu-
nicipal night shelters Of Berlin alone

THE FARMERS WIFE.

Much has been said and is still be-
ing said upon the subject of betterine
country life, The country life com.
mission took a hasy whirl through
the west, stopped in the larger cities
only, and reported that what the
country needs is better schools and
better roads.
Now the subject of how to better
country life from a wifes standpoint
has been raised and Mrs. Geo. L, Shell
don, wife of the governor of Nebras-
ka, recently read a paper upon this
subject at an Omaha fair.
Mrs. sheldon declares that what the
country woman needs is more house
hold help in order that her burden
may be made lighter and she may
have an opportunity to enjoy more OF
the pleasantries of life.
No doubt the country woman fares
worse than her city sister in the mat
ter of convenience. She does not have
the advantage of electricity. of gas
and countless other things that go to
make life more pleasant.
But on the other hand. the country
woman has many blessings not enjoy
ed by those who live in cities. There
are many who envy the farmers wife
very much. Whether or not she is
more entitled to sympathy than is her
city cousin is much to be doubted.

POE.

This is the centenary of the birth
of Edgar Allen Poe. The fact that
the occasion is attracting attention
throughout the country is a tribute to
the genius of the poet. The highest
compliment one can pay an author is
to read what he has written. When
people do this hundred years after
a man was born it is evident that his
writings have in them something Of
merit
