The late President Mckinley possessed q most
marvellous asset in his ability to call friends and
acquaintance by their first names-which ne IN
variably dd-to their great JOY.
Tip a Washington waiter to twenty-five cents

words, syassuh, yassuh, Mistah Secetary, will be-

"Thank you Boss.
In New York, tips of less than quarter simply

.thank you, SIR with the emphasis on the "sr. e
In London, shilling tip always brings from
the obsequious turnkey those words so dear to the
American ear especially when overheard, thank ye

good for "thank We, Yer 'Ighness."
And thus while highsounding titles are all SO
cheap it sounds like sweet music to hear men and
women addressed as Mister and Madame.

The Christian Science Monitor is the only
daily newspaper published in the United States
which is being permitted to circulate in penal in

Of the fact that it is not barred from the various

THESE old lines often come to mind:
sWhen the devil was sick, the devil monk

When the devil got we'll, the devil monk was

There are two applications which may be made
from this coupet: Some men have mighty good
intentions when they are in position where they
are harmless-but as soon they have an oppor-
tunity to fall from grace they do with alacrity
Then again. it is impossible to please all in public
stations. Public servants make many enemies
through sins of omission they do through sins OF
commission. The only fellow who IS safe from
criticism is the one who says nothing, does nothing

EDIT0 RIAL.

In the olden days everybody wanted title OF
some kind The Crusaders in the middle ages all
craved titles and Columbus would not sail in quest
of a new world until the King and Queen OF Spain
had conferred upon him the titles OF Don and Ad-
miral Overseas Upon this point Columbus hlgged
and hagged for many months. When he received
the titles he was happier over them than anything
else.
After the Civil War in this country nearly every
male North and South possessed a title-a Jug
handle to his name. There no prvates in the
Confederate servce-a were Majahs Cuhnels and
Ginrals. They across man named Berry In
Arkansas who claimed to be the only living ex-
Confederate private in the state and he was prompt

About twenty years ago, Max ORell, the ia

wrote book. This the opening sentence:
''The Uuited States contains about sixty million
people-mostly Colones' Mark Twain relates an
incident as follows: He was leaving St Louis a
Mississippi river steamer From the deck he espied
friend on the dock, to whom he said: Goodbye,
Colonel. Every body bowed.
Every crossroad justice is called Judge. Every
Surveyor General, Attorney General, Postmaster
General, Surgeon General, Collector General Sewer
Inspector General and all other officers general are
called General with capital G.. Secret societies,
of which there are $500 different varieties in the
United States incubators of titles running from
Major to Major General Captain to Generalissimo
Keeper of the Seal to Royal Grand Eminent Pur-
suivant of the Exalted Ruler and other such Hub
dub. Even the Holy Church has not been able tc
Withstand this craving for titles But IN the Church
it is not as much out of place az in the common
walks of life.
A dark skinned parsonage appeared upon the
streets of Washington some years ago, wearing
