 Once more the lowering yellow war
 cloud gloons the country Once more the threatening skeletons of our na-
 tiona1 helplessness are dragged forth up to be placed before the trembling public. Once rore the tales of 800. 900 little yellow men dumped onto our western coast to ravage and destroy are told in tones of apprehension and Qismay- War bloody war, with the dissolution of the United States at the end of it, the entire country impover- ished, and the now free American citi- zen ground beneath the heavy yellow heel of the little men from the east, is again foretold with the. grave wag- eing of heads and much bewai1ing the disappearance of the good old Amer jean spirit
 Absolutely defenseless', "at the mercy of the invader tour unpro- tected coasts, tour merchant marine the minus quantity, and all the old stock phrases of the patriotic prophet of the dire disaster of the nation are again in evidence. Up and down the corridors in Congress- in the ante lobbies along the spacious streets of the capital, and most of all in the newspapers are the words of warning to be found
 Once more appears the Japanese plans for invading the Pacific Coast, found by the ubiquitous secret agent Of a foreign government who pursues his Machiave1lian vocation from cap ita1 to capital Half of the Mikado's navy is to remain at home to guard the Britain of the east, and the other half conveying a fleet of transports is to dump half a million little yellow men fat a point of vantage on the Pacific Coast. and from thence the rich and prosperous west is to be over run.
 Again we are told that the Ameri- can navy is an antiquated tea service; and badly omcered; that the American army is a ttin soldier organization officered by .'rnosst acks.''
 And-horror of horrors-it is now discovered that the American fnan- ciers hold millions of dollars worth of Japanese bonds, and that the gold those bonds took from Anlerica-real American gold-is to be used to finance a war. against America.
 But pause-the worst is yet to come we have nc modern battleships- few billion dollars worth of floating iron and steel. The danger of inva- 1 sion is mmediate-therefore let us lay the keels of a. couple of Dreadnoug ughts | along the Atlantic coast in the ship | yards. and scare the courageous enemy !! away. 1
 A few sIow-going p1odders ask them 1 is all the fuss about? :? | One answer is: Congress is considering | 9. recommendation for two brand new 1 Dreadnoughts. and it is a matter of l history that every time Congress faces an appropriation for augmenting the 1 navy there is the same old war scare with the same old horrors, and the same old warnings bob up more or less sereE ely. The President has asked for two big battleships, but he is not pressing the matter Secretary of the Navy Meyer endorsed the recommen- dation. But he is not begging Con gress for the ships. Who is kicking up all the fuss?
 Hush!-whfsper: Maybe the ship builders need the money.

Not Tending to Business.

A country doctor was recently called upon to visit q patient some way from his office. Driving to where the sick man lived, he tied his horse to a tree ill front of the house and started to walk across the ground. It hap pened that work was in progress on a new well. of which the doctor knew nothing until he found himself sink ing into the earth. He fell just far enough to be unable to get out of the hole unassisted and lustiIy yelled for help.
 When he was finally pulled up the hired man Remarked to him:
 II say. doc. you had no business down there-''
 No: l don't think I had,'' replied the doctor.
 Don't you know" continued the hired man, you ought leave the well Hone and take care of the sick ?''- I-ippincott's.

A Versatile Garden.

The dwellers in a seaport town of Massachusetts are justly proud of their gardens. It remained for a visitor from a tiny village way round the Cape" to say the first slightly dis paraging word of these gardens, Isn't this beautiful:'' his hostess ask ed as she paused under a rose arbor and looked back over the stately ranks of larkspur. monks hood. hollyhocks and many other favorites.
 Its a handsome gardin-of its kind.'' said the visitor dispassionately but it ain't quite up to the mark when you consider our gardins."
 ''Indeed"' and the lady looked at him. too amazed to be angry. What sort of gardens have you. please?"
 ''Well.' said her Cape visitor calm ly, what we call 8 good gardin is one where you can start out with two big baskets and a hoe. step through the flower gardin part. past the vegeta bles. down to the water; dig your clans fust. pick your sweet corn. lay your posies on top O that and hand the whole lot over at the kitchen door.

Psnsions From NaneIeon.

Paris has a dozen old soldiers who draw pensions that come to them from the great Emperor Napoleon l. These are not heroes of his epoch, for the last of those died long years ago. But Napoleon by his will devised several millions of francs to his companions in arms. and this capital in default of heirs of the grand army was deposited in the public treasury. Today the rev enue this fund produces is paid out in the form of pensions of POO francs each to old soldiers in French terri tory. and Paris has twelve of these benefciarfes to whom at the first of the year these little pensions are re- mitted.-Paris Figaro.

In 1795 he handed it on to Charles Prentiss, with these lines: Item: c. P. has my knife
