The one best bet for calamity howl
ers" is in the city. In conversation
yesterday he painted as dark a pic
ture as could be imagined of business
conditions in this country. .nat he
said was this:
"a young man with good position
today should hold onto it for the next
year and three months as business con.
ditions are going to be bad. You see,
it is this way. For the year just be-
fore the presidential election, business
is always bad. Then after the election
is held the people have to wait for
three or four months until he announces
his policies and in the meantime there
is no improvement. Then when the
new president does make announcement
Of the policies Of his administration
they are considered rotten and business
goes forse than ever. By the time a
recovery is noticed it is the year pre-
eeding the next presidential election
and the country is in a commercial
quandary again. So you can see as
events follow one another, there is no
chance to get away from the poor con-
ditions in the business world of this
cOuutry,''

The Charge Of the Tight Skirt Brigade
Half leg, half leg,
Half a foot onward,
All in their hobble skirts
Hobbled four hundred.
"Forward, the tailor made!"
"Charge 'em to pa,'' they said:
Out on the crowded streets
Hoped the four hundred.
"Forward, the tailor made!" 49,.
Was there a girl dismayed'
Not though spectators knew
Some one had blundered
There's not to reason why:
There s. to be seen or die.
Out on the crowded streets
Horpcd the four hundred.
Plunged in the laughing crowd.
To right and left they bowed,
English and Germans
Each, one and all allowed
Figures may lie, but not
Not the four hundred IS.
Mich W UHC iCil VI lucuiy
Men to the right of then,
Also behind them
Staggered and giggled.
But though they looked so swell
Some of them tripped and fell;
How many none can tell
Came through the crowd again.
Some Of them looked like-well,
Not the four hundred.
Who can forget that sight'
Oh, that we could or might!
All the world wondered.
Honor their skirts So tight.
Plump calves and calves so slight,
Honor, yes honor bright

All the four hundred.

That high schools are not without
their share Of cynics and humorists, is
proved by the Glowing: In one of
the classes of puzzle speaking and ora
tory the instructor dictated several top
les, upon which the students We're ex-
pected to be able to deliver one min
ute address. One of these topics was
headed "The Defendant May Marry;
the Plaintiff Must in reference to
the judges decision of recent divorce
case. Accordingly, one Of the students
who had chosen the topic, arose, and
with a perfectly serious air, said:
Gentlemen, the action Of the jury in
this case, seems. to my mind, to be un-
necessarily severe towards the plaintiff
and the man whom she forced to mar
ry. The defendant was permitted to
escape with a mere placing of tempta-
ton in his way, the stipulation that he
might marry if DESTROYS of so doing;
but the plaintiff was compelled to mar
ry, thus dragging herself and her un:
fortunate victim into eternal matrimon-
ial bonds. Life Imprisonment is a pun
ihsment for taking Of human life, and
should never be inflicted for any lesser
offense. Think, gentlemen, an inno-
cent man condemned to life imprison-
ment, and woman, whose only Of
tense was mere breach of domestic
peace, forced to share his misery! 1t is
an outrage, and we the bachelorhood
of America, should rise in our might
and efface this black stain from the
hitherto spotless escutcheon of our hon

SEES TRIUMPH FOR FRANCE
Foreign Minister Upholds Ger
man Accord in Chamber.

Paris. Dec 1.-THE German, British, Rus
sian and Spanish ambassadors were present
in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon
when the Foreign Minister, NJ. de Selves.
before crowded house, delivered Frances
contribution TO the German British debate,
and made additions to the revelations con-
corning the Moroccan crisis.
NJ. de Selves said that Germany at the
outset OF the crisis had asserted that she
would not accept or abide by new Alge-
ciras conference TO settle the Moroccan
question.
The discussion followed an Interpolation
by the Count dc Nun and other members

Franco-German accord until after the ne
gotiations with Spain are completed count

in extent two-thirds OF France ana con-
quered by French soldiers. He denounced
the making Of secret treaties as a method
OF diplomacy The world, he said. had
not seen Europe in more menacing con-
dition. He hoped that France did not
dream OF q dangerous Utopia, involving
land by the friendship of other powers
NJ. de Selves, in opposing the motion TOT
the postponement. traced the negotiations
between France and Germany since the be-
ginning OF the crisis. He denied that Ger
many had become irritable and tried 10
start conflict. On the contrary. her att-
tude had been conciliatory. French In
terests had been constantly guarded. while
the dignity and calm OF public opinion In
France had revealed the force of French
patriotism.
NJ. de Selves said that the world realized
that France had emerged from the neso-
tiations far from being worsted. However,
he continued. the chief advantage of the
agreement Is that it frees foreign politics
from the Moroccan question, which has
been a permanent source of conflict
This advantage is not a small one AT
an hour when the external political situa-
ton demands particular attention. We have
no intention Of abandoning our friends or
our alliances on the contrary, We shall
bind them closer" he said.
