= EN-. Luke E. Wright, told at din
~ ner in Washington a war story
from Manila.
There was once upon time," he
began, "a gallant old general. This
general leading a splendid charge in
his youth, got bullet in his chest and
two sabre cuts across the head. In
after life, relating over the nuts and
wine his many battles, it was this
particular charge that he always de-
cribed most flamboyantly.
THE older the general grew the
more splendid the charge became; the
more awful was the slaughter that
he visited upon the enemy; the more
horrible were the wounds that he re
ceived. For corroboration he would
always turn to a grizzled veteran on
his. left, his aide-de-camp. The aide
de-camp would nod his gray head in
acquiescence silently.
Taller and taller grew the gen.

CANADA FOR INDEPENDENCE

Some optimistic persons in Canada believe the
day is not far distant when the Dominion will
become republic Independent of, England. In
such an event, they believe. Sir Wlfrid Laurier
would become the head of the nation.
When the imperial council of defense sent
out from London recommendations that included
the construction, manning and operation of
Canadian war navy protests arose from all parts
of the Dominion. The actual government meas
ure presented by Sir Wilfrd to the house of COM
mons has caused another outburst, which indi-
Gates clearly that many Canadians look forward
to ultimate independence.
The defense council suggested that Canada
build one Dreadnaught, three cruisers, six de-

IS OLDEST ARMY OFFICER

Brigadier-General Daniel H. Rucker, retired
is not only the Oldest officer of the United States
army now living, but also the Oldest man that
has ever been in the military service of this
country.
The lapse of time since his birth is most Wv
idly realized when it is considered that General
Rucker has lived in every presidential admins
tration since the government began, only
three-those of Washington, Adams and Jefer
son. He was born only 13 years after the death
of the first president and among his friends and
acquaintances have been a good many people who
knew George Washington.
But anybody who saw the general to-day would
never imagine that these things could be true.

While Democratic papers OF the
state unanimously endorse the turn
ing down of Senator McNutt, OF Lou
isville, by the Courier-Journal, they
cannot refrain from abiding to the
fact that all McNutt did was at the
instigation of the Courier-Journal. 1t
is sauce for j. c. w. Beckham, who
in the course of two columns of most
delightful satire, has the following to
say:
sMcNutt has been found guilty
and standing In the presence OF the
court he has no legal, moral or other
reason to show why the sentence OF
the Courier-JournaI should not be
pronounced upon him. He might
plead. II is true, that IL was the
Courier-Journal that told him it was
right and patriotic TO vote for the
Republican nominee over the Demo-
cratic nominee for senator, and he
might even say that he does not rep
resent the saloon interests any more
than does the editor of the paper
which has sentenced him. But this
will not and should not help him.
He must meet the fate which all such
as he may expect. He followed the
lead of the Courier-Jodrnal and he
has arrived at such a condition that
even his leader must repudiate him
as a nauseous dose. A little more
than twelve months ago his name ap-
peared in that righteous journal, day
after day, as a patriotic and incor-
ruptible man, as a Democrat who
placed principle above party, and who
stood for a purified and regenerated
Democracy. He was daily advised by
the editor of the Courier-Journal 10
do what he did; the managing editor
of that paper was sent from his post
Of duty at Louisville to stay at
Frankfort during the senatorial con-
test TO fabricate news and to help
elect the Republican candidate 10 the
senate and when the election was
over a general jollihcation was pro-
claimed by the same paper. Its editor
rejoiced, it's managing editor boasted
that he had brought about the result,

In every newspaper contest that
was ever run there were at least a
score Of contestants who thought
they would win the Grand Prize be-
cause they were so popular their

every instance these scores Of people
were bitterly disappointed. They left

one day the parent bird came home
from a foraging expedition and found
her children in great alarm. The
farmer had passed their nest during
the day and remarked TO his son that
he had asked his neighbors 20 come
and help him cut his grain on the fol-
lowing day. But the old one merely
chirped a bird-laugh and said in lark
talk. ave arc safe for another day at
