A Bit Too Clever.
Holman Hunt used to tell how a car
penter saved one of his best known
pictures from a serious error. The
man was doing some odd jobs about
the house and was found frowning at
''The Shadow of tbs Cross" in the
studio-the picture iii which Christ,
who has been saving plank in the
workshop, rises to his full height and
stretches, his shadow forming cruci-
fix.
"Wen?" asked the artist interroga.
lively.
Don't think much Of it, mister"
was the blunt comment.
"Why?" demanded Hunt, amused,
but trihe nettled.
"Any one that can saw wood with
out making any sawdust Is a sight
clevern any | ever seed" was the
answer.
1t was true-the floor was clean be
meath the bench!
Cheap PrizefightIns.
Speaking Of the depths to which
prizefighting has fallen, it was at
little fight" attraction near Pittsburg
that the audience was much displeased
with the manner in which the fighters
conducted themselves. To tell the plain
truth, they were stalling"-making be-
lieve they were fighting, while in re-
ality they had agreed previously not
to hit each other hard enough to hurt.
In answer to the kissing the referee
advanced to the side of the ring and
faced the audience. "It isn't my fault
that they didn't fight; they were paid
to fight" he said.
Then one OF the fighters arose and
put up his hand for silence.
I'VE only got So apiece and beef
stew, and we amt going to kiln our
selves for that" he said.
And the audience, sympathizing with
the fighters, hissed the promoters

ELECT MIR. SIBLEY.

Not since the smallpox epidemic,
perhaps, has the city been more In
iced of a well organized health de-
partment than at this time, This
being the case the present deadlock
in the board is to be regretted. The
health department has been brought
to a high state Of proficiency in the
past year or two. This has been
largely through the efforts of its
president, G. c. Sibley. The import
ance of a health board, in a city of
this character particularly, is recog-
nized and Mr.. Sibley has proven
himself to be the right mar in the
right place. He has worked hard
and faithfully and the people have
appreciated his efforts.
1t is greatly to be regretted that,
in the recent snake-up of the board,
Mf~-Sbley felt that he should resign
as president. 1t is plain that none
of the other members are as well
qualified at this time to assume the
office as he, and there is a demand
that Mr.. Sibley should continue in
- p4an Thc NnoYlA Iarn u-nf4hnh tho
work of the board with much inter
est and it Is realized that under Mr..
Sibley it has become a highly eff
dent body. There should be no
backward step. The good work must
go bon. Mr.. Sibley is the man to
carry 1t forward and we believe that
1t Is the wish of a majority of the
people of the city, as we'll as
of the members of the board that
he continue as president.
The health department at this
time reeds an experienced and capa-
r4nA
BILE mar at its head. Mr.. Sibley has
had the experience and he is fully
capable. He Is the mar to hold the
presiding Office. We trust that he
will reconsider his determination to
resign and will listen to the desire
of the city and the appeals of his
fellow members in this particular.
MIR. Sibley should continue as presi-
dent, at least until his term expires.
1t has been largely through his
efforts that the board has accom-
plished SO much good work. He is
the mar who can keep up this work
and accomplish still more.
When the Board of Health meets
again to select a president, let the
members vote unanimously for Mr..
Sibley. Let them insist upon their
Fote standing, and, with the solid
backing of the citizens at large, MIR.
sibley must yield for the good of the
city In which he resides.

ROOSEVELT'S EXPENSES.

There seems to be a great deal of
agitation among the critics of
Theodore Roosevelt as to who paid
for his trip through the West. The
question might as legitimately be
asked, whose business is it who paid
for the trip? Is not Col. Roosevelt
a private citizen of the United
States? Can he not travel about as
he ~pleases? If the people gather by
thousands to see and cheer him,
that does not make it the peoples
business as to who financed the trip.
While there has been no authora-
tive statement to the effect, some of
the newspapers that are opposing
Roosevelt declare thai the magazine
with which Col. Roosevelt is con-
neeted put up the honey for the
tour as an advertising proposition.
This may be true and it may not,
What difference does it make if it
is? AS Col. Roosevelt is a rich man
it is probable hat he paid his own
expenses. But it is nobody's bust
ness, anyway.
Because he was once President of
the United States some people would
have him dry up and disappear from
public view entirely excepting on
state occasions. That is not the
spirit OF the American government,
A man is supposed to be elected
President from the ranks of the
people and when his term expires
he is supposed to return to the
ranks and continue as before, That
is what Col. Roosevelt IS dong.
