PHILOSOPHY TO THE RESCUE
Pat Went Without His Steak, but at
That Everything Was Not
Lost.

Charles Nagel, secretary of com
herce and labor, says the Irish race
has, in addition TO its sentiment and
romance, lot of philosophy as one
of its characteristics.
THE best illustration / ever heard
of this" he explained to a dinner
party one evening, was the case OF
a poor Irishman who had been given
fine, juicy piece of steak. Being u
religious man, he placed the steak in
front of him, and there. in the shade
of the trees surrounding his benefac-
tors house, he folded his hands,
closed his eyes, and gave thanks to
heaven for the meal. When he was
in the attitude of prayer, dog rushed
up and captured the steak. Pat
looked around in time to see the food
disappearing over the hill

Senator Clarence Watson, of West
Virginia

Lost no time in lending the Republicans
helping hand. He had hardly been sworn
in, before he rendered them invaluable aid.
BY his absence from his post of duty, he gave
our hog-face Vice-President the opportunity
to pass the Ship-subsidy steal through the
Senate.
This West Virginia Senator explains his
absence by saying that he had some important
business which compelled him to leave the
Senate, before the final vote. was taken"
He had heard part of the debate, and was
bound to know that the bill might be voted
on at any minute. His desertion of his seat,
at such a time, was like that of the soldier
who ran away during a battle.
The personal and private business which
'compelled' Senator Watson to bring dis
grace upon our time-honored family name
must be sufficiently exacting and consequential
to require the whole of his time, and he should
devote himself exclusively to it. The national
interests of 100000 people are too insig-
nificant to occupy aay part of his invaluable
time.

Admiral Barry Should Settle i'm
Georgia

After IS years of honorable service, the
second-hig CHEST officer of our great navy feels
constrained to retire from public view.
Why?
Because there is an ugly rumor that he has
been guilty of having illicit relations with a
woman.
Proud and sensitive man that he is, he feels
keenly the blot he has brought upon his fame.
Perhaps in some moment Of sudden tempta-
ton, when heated by wine, he stumbled and
fell Perhaps some young charmer, dazzled
by his high position and great name, lured
him to the forbidden fruit. The gust of pas
sion swept over him and before he even real
lied what he was doing, he had furnished his
record, and put reproach upon the honor
of the service.
Poor fellow! I feel profoundly sorry for
him The fact that he is, at heart, a gentle
man, and repents his own momentary weak
ness, is established by the courage with which
he takes his punishment. Virtually saying,
II have sinned, and am no longer worthy to
occupy this lofty post in the navy" he makes
his remorseful bow and gets out.
From my very soul, [ honor man of that
type
Red-blooded, he fell: high-minded he con-
fesses and retires.
Nobody claims that he coldly, deliberately,
lustfully prostituted his position to ruj'1
qr0n1e7o qch0 qre2e IN his pOaOer.
1t is not claimed that he broke UP mail
clerks home; and sent the porter of a Gov
eminent department to bring an octoroon to
his office, at midnight.
Nobody alleges that he availed himself of
his position on the school-board to debauch
one of the white lady school-teachers.
No woman came rushing out of Barrys
office, contending that he had taken advantage
of her, in there.
He did not cause poor seduced girl to be
Kidnapped; and carried to a midnight train,
to be deported to distant city of the West.
No: Barry's case was merely that of an
elderly man having his head turned by the
fattering pursuit of a young, beautiful and
voluptuously formed syren.
And he feels so contrite over his mishap,
that he bends his brave old head to public
censure, and says, in effect:
