THE LATEST ILLUMINATION

At last the lid is raised and the
public is invited to gaze upon the
first member of the Association of
Crooks. He is A. B. Anderson,
circuit court judge of Indiana,
appointed by President Roosevelt
in 1902. According to the
published reports, which seem to
be amply substantiuted, Judge
Anderson was pronounced guilty
by the Judge of Judges, while,
greatly agitated," in the Columbia
club Of Indianapolis. His offense
lay in a decision he had rendered IN
the famous Panama libel care to
the effect that there was no
warrant in law for hauling Editor
Delavan Smith to Washington for
trial under the wrathful eyes of the
monarch, whose supersensitiveness
had been outraged by aspersions
upon His Own brother-in-law.
The decision was sound, if Elihu
Root and other lawyers of repute
are to be believed, but what was the
Constitution between friends
when the family was involved? Did
not the minion owe his very
position to the Gaek war? And
was not the Gaekwar's desire made
clear when he had the Tribune
announce that ''he president is
deeply interested in this case, and
tn ose charged with the prosecution
realize that they will earn his
gratitude If their efforts are
succssful?" What, then, did the
fosiliZed creature mean by drag
ging in legal suhtletics and statutes
that did not meet the spirit and
needs Of the time? There could be
but one answer. The man waI a
"crook. Also a damned jackass."
Roosevelt declines to say whether
or not he applied these opprobrious
epithets. He wants TO talk about
something else. 1t is just as we'll.
Anything he might say by way of
denial would carry no conviction, in
any case unless fully subsantiated.
But how can any decent American
contemplate even his silence with
out experiencing deep humiliation,
disgust and shame? How long,
o Lord, how long?-Harpcr's
Weekly.

1riekina the Bobby.

A Dublin eccentric short time ago
entered a purveyor's shop and bought
a ham. Having paid for bis purchase.
he requested that it should be hung
outside the shop door, saying that he
would call back for it.
The customer then paced up and
down outside the shop till policeman
came in sight, and just as the man
in blue caught his eye he grabbed the
ham and bolted.
The constable. however, soon collar
ed the thief, as he thought. and hauled
him back to the shop. Having explain
ed the nature Of the alleged crime to
the shop assistant, he asked the latter
to charge the offender.
But" said the assistant as he real
lied the joke. Its his own ham. He
was quite at liberty to take it in any
circumstances be chose."-Tit-Bits.

Ne'er a COO from sweet Babette
But by me was promptly met
Cheerily.

Little COOS we twain are billing
Billing constantly.
First l bill, and then she bills
Bills for grocers, bills for pills.
Ice and bonnets. duds and frills-
Ee'er a bill from sweet Babette
But must be instanter met.
Woe Is me!
There's no 10y without its sorrow,
No today without its morrow
With its pain.
Yet with all the woes Of billing.
With results SO bad and chilling
And the debt chase swift and killing,
When Babette doth call me to it
am ready still to coo it
All again!

SURPRISED THE HtGHLANDERS
And Then tho Young Beers Surprised

And Then tho Young Beers Surprised
Their Own General.
Ignorance Is not bliss on the battle
field When the South African war be.
gan the Beers. brave fighters though
they were. lost many an advantage
through almost childish simplicity in
the art of war. Mr.. Howard c. HilIe-
gas. in bis "Boers In War;" gives an
incident Of this trait.
While fighting at Magersfontefn
number of youthful Beers. In this their
first battle, allowed a hundred high
landers to approach to within a short
distance Of the trench wherein the
Beers were concealed They then
sprang out calling "Hands up!'
The highlanders. completely sur
prised. threw down their arms and ad-
vanced. holding their hands above their
heads. One of the young Beers ap-
preached them. scratched his head in
perplexity and said to his friends.
"What shall we do with them?' After
q consultation they allowed the high
landers to return to their column.
When the young Beers arrived at
the Boer laager. laden with the cap
tured rifles, their general asked them
why they did not bring their prisoners.
The youths looked at each other. and
one of them sheepishly replied:
Eve did not know that they were
wanted"
1t was not the lads. however. who
always made the mistakes. One old
Boer, on viewing for the first time q
company of highlanders in the dis.
tance, refused to fire, insisting that it
was a herd Of ostriches. and he per-
suaded all the burghers in the trenches
near him that they we're ostriches, and
nothing but ostriches.
Never in the history of civilization
has there been gpeater premium on
we'll trained minds than at the present
time. Never were business entergrlses
conducted on q greater scale or re-
ouired more skillful management.
