shot at the self-appointed electors" of the Han
Of Fame and declare that "the Gotham Hall
..of Fame is purely local in its inception and
"concon+ionr and its electors "are making their
selections from the hither side of a very re-
'stricted horizon
The egregious folly of such words is to be
perceived in the fact, which Macauiay Woulu
have said every schoolboy knows, and which
certainly every person who assumes 10 discuss
the subject should know, that not one of the
one hundred electors is or ever was "sel1-ap-

local" the Hall of Fame is, at least so 1ar aS
its electors are concerned, about the most I'M
partially general and national institution IN the
land. It's one hundred electors include repre-
sentatives of every state in the Union. New
England contributed twenty-five, the old MID

what sort of an electorate would satisfy tnoSe

The report that Governor Harmon of Ohio
will not call a special election TO fill the vacancy
in the House of Representatives created by the
transfer of Theodore E. Burton to the United
States Senate misrepresents. we hope, the Gov
ernors intentions 1t would be a manifest in
Justice to deprive the 21st Ohio District of rep
resentation in the lower House for a whole
Congress. It is often held TO be inadvisable to
call a special election to fill a vacancy occurring
near the end of a term. But there is no excuse
for leaving a seat empty when there is ample
time TO fill It even before the term in question
begins.

Tho renewed friction between Chill and Peru
is much to be regretted, but It must be confessed
that 1t IS not without cause Chill probably
feels hurt at what she regards Peru's un
graciousness in refusing TO accept her tribute to
the memory Of the Peruvian officers who fell in
the war Of 1879 between those countries. If
Japan and Russia can unite in honoTing the
dead at Port Arthur. Chilians ask. why should
Peru refuse TO let Chill honor her brave adver-
saries OF so much longer ago? On the other
hand, Peru regards Chill having deliberately
and wickedly repudiated the terms of the
Treaty of Ancon, and declares that she wants
tributes paid to her heroes by men of bad faith.
1t is a lamentahle thing that two nations
enlightened and progressive and generally
well disposed should remain on so bad terms.

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time Is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several adj
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.
Pure white lead-the Dutch Boy
Painter kind-mixed with pure lin
seed oil (tinted as desired) gives a

armor against the severest attacks of
the winter rain, sleet, winds and snow.

FREAK IN sEQU0IA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood Tor SIX
teen Years Severed from Its
Base.

Out in California there Is a tree
trunk which has stood for the last 10
years entirely severed from it's base
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is Is feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn off by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
miscalculation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held its position,
and dynamite was resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge Of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and it was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by the
discharge and was therefore useless
for lumber. Accordingly, the work was
stopped and the giant has remained up
right, withstanding some Of the Sc
verest wind storms that the state has
known, held in it's natural position by
its great weight.

Where Sittinu Bull Was,

Doane Robinson, head of the depart
ment of history for the state of South
Dakota, says of Sitting Bull and the
Custer massacre: The Indians tell
ME that Sitting Bull was a medicine
chief; that he was the greatest inau.
ence among the Sioux at that time by
reason of his constant agitation against
the whites, and that he did not per.
sonallT engage in the fight against
Custer, but that he was back on an
elevation between the Little Big Horn
and the Big Horn making medicine"

The Root of AItrujSm,

The three eternal roots Of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, SO
that l ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that l owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
l a really decide to help my neigh.
Dor, and am truly disgraced if l do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of a definite judgment; that is,
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. K. Chesterton.
