of the current year they
showed gain of 7-1O per cent
These figures dispel all talk of bus
mess curtailment, They are support
ed by continued good reports of rail-
road earnings, which for the third
week of May showed a gain of more
than IL per cent over last year. The
steel trade continues active, and
while here may be a slight slacken-
ing in new orders the mills have large
enough contracts on hand to keep
them we'll occupied for months to
come. All things considered, the
outlook financially and commercially
is reasonably satisfactory. Some
temporary hesitation may be caused
by the drawbacks referred to above,
also the approach of summer quiet,
but the general tendency of affairs Is
progressive. Much relief to the bus
mess community would be afforded
by an early adjournment of congress,
but it now looks as If the session
might last we'll into August, afford
ing opportunities for all sorts of
harmful political demonstrations.
Give US good crops, however, and
much of the present discomfort will
disappear.

NINETY SEVEN YEARS AGO.

This year the anniversary of Wa
terloo is of more than passing interest
because of the turbulent convention
being held in Chicago. Did the ma
tional committee think the selection
Of this date for the convention would
bring dismay to the Roosevelt forces?
If they did they have seen a re-
markable defiance of tradition. At
this writing it is an open question as
to whether the proposed inhabitant
of our political St. Helena shall be
a fat man or a rough rider. 1t may
come about that the island will take
them both.
So much for today's battle. The
Waterloo of history occurred 81 years
ago beginning about noon and lasting
until p. m. 1t was a memorable
battle and decisive because it ended
the career of Napoleon and brought
peace to Europe. 1t was a struggle
between $4,000 French against an
allied army of nearly twice that
strength. Wellington had an army of
10000 while the Prussians under
Blucher numbered 10000. For sew
eral days before Waterloo, Napoleon
dealt successfully with his foes, hold
ing them apart and winning over
Blucher at Ligny But on the 18th
the fates deserted him. The English
say Napoleon was not the old time
commander. He had lost his magne-
tism and his genius, they declare.
Perhaps he had. 1t is certain he
made blunders and they proved cost
ly. But when it is remembered he
was confronted by forces twice his
strength his defeat does not seem
surprising and cannot well be charged
to poor generalship.
Considering Waterloo today the
remarkable thing about it is that it
occurred less than 100 years ago
There are men still alive who were
upon this world when Waterloo was
fought. How remarkable that such
a battle and such war could have
been waged but few years ago. It
is a far step from Waterloo to inter-
national peace yet it is a step the
world has all but taken in that brief
interval

CURE FOR HYSTERIA.

The Rev. Anthony Kuhls of Kan
sas City, now retired, once was wax
ened about midnight by a man who
beseeche1 the father to come to his
home. MY wife is dying" said the
man. The doctor was there and said
On arriving at the home Father
Kuhl saw at once that the woman
was suffering from a plain case of
hysteria. He asked the family to
leave the room. Then he locked the
door. A fire was burning briskly in
the CRATE. The priest took the poker
and wedged it between the hot Goals.
He kept turning the poker in the en-
bers and pretended to be deeply alb
sorbed in his task. The woman stop
ped her moaning and writhing and be-
gan to watch the priest,
what are you going to do with
that poker?" she asked finally.
I'm going to brand you with it

A ROUGH AND TUMBLE.

Regardless of how the fight may
go there are circumstances connected
with the Chicago convention that
make it reproach to American citi-
zenship. 1t is not deliberative
body wherein those assembled are
seeking the welfare of the country.
The appeal by both sides is not to
patriotism but to selfishness. 1t is
not fair and open fight but vicious
struggle in which each side is using
every device at its command. Steam
rollerism, bulldozing, patronage and
Doodle are the means employed to
sway the republican nomination for
president of the United States. 1t is
a naked fight and they are not merely
landing body blows. They also hit
below the belt and chew each others
ears.
1t is a fine spectacle
