What They Wish ed For.

From the Philadelphia Evening Times
Lovers make life merry and rosy; with
out them, happiness would be an un-
known quantity. To illustrate, take the
overheard lovers talk Of a pretty Ger
mantown girl and her dear one"
In the year they had known each other,
they had been lust friends" She had
her notions about the way a young
man should behave, and he was trifie
shy.
AS they sat at dinner in a well-known
Atlantic City hotel, she discovered a
chickens breastbone, the "wishbone" of
childhood, and they wished on 1t.
Tell me what you wished?" she asked.
'Huh-uh, but I will II you tell what
you wished" he answered.
You go first" said she.
"Ah, no; it might not come true"
You promised"
Then, shy. blushing red, he confessed,
Ter, er-wished you'd let me kiss you.
Now, what's your wish?" II
She halted, tried hard to avoid telling.
and finally, blushing, too, said, "I just
wished your wish'd come true

The County Fair.

From the Philadeiphia Inquirer.
The farmer and his folks never tire of
1t. They esteem 1.-THE crops safely gar
nered-as their real harvest home" In
deed, one fair is hardly over before the
winning or losing contestants for prizes
begin to boast Of what the next years
exhibit shall be. and the women get out
their quilting frames for another try.
Some mossback malcontents have per-
ceived and lafnented a decadence Of the
true agricultural spirit in recent fairs;
they resent the intrusion Of the mid
way" features, the meretricious popular
iity of the vaudeville performance at the
expense of the pie or plow contest; the
supersession of the crazy quilt or butter
attraction by the ''barked" alIures Of
cockney concessionaires. There is little
ground for such complaint. The county
fair, which with US is unique, though in
some form or other 1t is almost as old as
history itself, is bound to retain some Of
its original function as mart and all Of
its character as show.

A JUDGE ON SOCIALISM.
Refused Naturalization Papers Be-
cause Socialist Is Like Anarchist.

Refused Naturalization Papers Be-
cause Socialist Is Like Anarchist.
From the Boston Globe.
Astonishing things come out of the
West. At Raymond, a town in the State
of Washington, a United States Judge
has just denied naturalization papers to
a physician who, In the course of his
examination, remarked incidentally that
he believed in the philosophy Of socia-
ism set forth by Karl Marx.
Then you are not the kind of man
we want as a citizen of this country. for
socialism is nothing but anarchism,"
said the learned Judge with scorn.
1t would be quite as accurate to say
that protectionism is nothing but free
trade; that taxation is nothing but ex-
emption from all taxes; that an acid
is nothing but an alkali; that white is
nothing but black; that slavery is moth
ing but freedom, as to confuse social
ism with anarchism. And IL there is
anything that angers both socialists and
anarchists it Is to have some one igno-
rant of both theories confound them with
each other.

The Monetary Commission.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Little or nothing has been heard from
the national monetary commission for
months. It's slow motion and its expen-
siveness have irritated the Senate. It
has voted that the commission make its
final report by January next and then
pass out of existence. The House has not
yet acted on the matter. There seems to
be no reason why the commission could
not say its last official word by January
1t has been stated, and not contradicted,
that 1t is prepared to recommend the
adoption Of the Aldrich plan with few
slight notifications. II that be the case,
the final report should not be delayed.
There is no likelihood of Immediate ac-
ton upon it. When Congress reassem-
bles in December it will have the tariff
question on its hands. That viii occupy
it to the exclusion of other matters.

From the New York Sun
King George has decided to dispense
with the services of some of the "sil-
yer greyhounds." The proper designa-
tion of the officials in question is for
eign service messenger" and in King
Edwards reign they were requisitioned
a good deal owing to the fact that the
Kings health necessitated his spending
much time on the Continent, and II
was often well that a verbal message
should accompany dispatch. The
present King has no great Partially for

the New Jersey coast. IN jan

one lost was a man who insisted
