Will tile Maine Be Raised?

Will tile Maine Be Raised?
Information from Washington in
connection with the long delayed ap-
preparation for raising the Maine
gives reason for the belief that the
wreck may be raised intact as
it is today. Recovery of the bodies of
the heroes entombed in the mud en-
banked hold seems to be the only thing
positively provided for. The elimina-
ton Of an obstruction to navigation
and the probing Of the mystery Of the
explosion in 1898 are incidental in the
plans discussed.
The appropriation Of 100000 seems
small for a thorough job, Recovery
and fitting burial of the bodies might
be accomplished at that cost. This
feature has always been a popular de-
mand. But for that the impeachment to
navigation would probably have been
disposed of long ago by dynamfting.
Dynamite will bury the wreck and it's
mystery at one blow. If the bodies
are first recovered the public probably
will cease to take interest in the sink
ing Of the Maine.

The Sunny Side OF Superstition.

superstition may seem a tall state
ment. The adjective generally associ-

FEED AND LIVERY
The laxative Barber.

1.-THE ta~lkativeness of BARRIERS long
has been the subject for puus and
jokes" said a barber. Il had always
faDcied the matter one Of recent origin
until the other day. You know in my
profession we have a great deal of
spare time. Well. the other day l was
sitting on the bench waiting for the
shaves aud hair cuts to come in and
to while away the time was glancing
through u copy Of Plutarch's Archie
laus.' Imagine my CONSERVATION when
l happened on a line reading:
IA prating barber asked Archelaus
how be would be trimmed. He an
swered. I'm silence."'
well. that got me. l never knew
they even had BARRIERS that long ago.
l always supposed the ancients let
their whiskers grow and that they
wore curly locks as long as their to-
gas. but it seems that the barber is
an ancient relic and that his talking
proclivities are a matter of history.
I'll have to give it to the humorists
there.
But. say" he whispered, that man.
icure girl Owe there has got us beat to
a FRAGILE. ! wonder if there's anything
in Plutarch about her."-Kansas City

MORALS Of the Understood.

Morals Of the Understood.
Because a bunch Of. "cribbing" col
lege students were all found to be
wanting in physical proportions the
conclusion has been jumped at that de-
fcctive physique has something to do
with dishonest propensities. II that
were the rule. then some of the worlds
greatest geniuses must have been
moral monsters. Taking Napoleon-'"a
manikin Of five foot three"-as q cri-
terion. there is something in the the
Dry. Few deny genius to the Corsican
.pygmy, but a multitude ranks him as
ii genius devoted to evil.
History records many little men who
were good as well as great and bril-
liant. There seems to be a rule that
persons physically defective as dwarfs,
born cripples and those Of very small
stature have been generously endowed
With ambition and push. II their bent
n eyIi they excel in mischievousness;
IL good they achieve nobly. Nature
plays no fayorites. Weak character
may be allied to shuge stature. Ulti-
mately power liesin character. Goliath

The Inauguration Amendment.
The amendment to the constitution
providing for a change in the date OF
inaugurating Il president failed Of pas
sage by a vote so narrow that its ad.
vocates may reasonably hope for ulti'
mate triumph. The proposition to
change to a date which would favor
outdoor ceremonies has led to a dis.
cussion Of much practical value. The
Inauguration need not necessarily be
delayed so as to fall within the in.
clement period.
November is generally a pleasan,
month. and when it is fine it is in ev.
cry way suitable for pageantry. De.
cember is even more reliable than
March. A reelected president could
well be inaugurated the second time
Immediately after the result had been
declared, work that could be FASTENED
without detriment IL law required it
An important provision Of the defeat
ed amendment was for the selection Of
q president in case Of the death or in
competency. Of the president elect
Such contingency 10 now unprovided
for.

Title Talks.
The Business Of Abstracting

The Business Of AtStraCting
The business of abstracting
titles is of comparatively re-
cent growth. But as lands
increase in value the need OF
title security becomes more
and more imperative.
1t is just as sensible to safe
guard the title to a thousand
dollar vacant lot as it is to
keep your thousand-dollar
bond under lock and key
Protection, in either case. is
the thing sought.
Good titles make real es-
tate as negotiable as stocks
or bonds.
There is no way of being
sure about the title except by
the help of an abstract. Let
us get it for you.

school officials for the final examin-
ations, in which the terms work vii!
be reviewed.
At the high school, small class
will have completed the four year
course. but no graduation exercises
are planned because the expense
would be too great. Instead those fin
ishing in February will participate in
the regular June graduation exercises
with the members of the June sec

The crowded conditions of some or
the schools will be even more aggra-

term than at present. High school en-
rollment will probably include 45o,
which is very large. At the Garfield
school the enrolment is expected to
be proporrionally large.

Leayenworth, Kan, Jan. 21.-John
r. Walsh, the aged eX-Chicago banker,
who has just begun to serve his five
year term in the federal prison here,
was reported quite ill today. He oc-
cupied a cell alone and was handed
a book of prison rules, which he stud
les.
When the sick call was made in
the morning Walsh felt SO badly that
he stood in line with the prisoners to
ask the physician for attention. He
was unable to eat anything.
Walsh has heart disease and two
examinations by the physicians show
that he is feeble. No attempt will be
made to have him take up prison du-
ties for several days.
Walshs quarters are not exactly in
cell. He has a cot in what is known
as the open wing. The room is used
by number of bankers, guarded as
are the other prisoners, but allowed
the freedom of this large room.
