p~YNAMITINe MADE EASY.

The Duluth Herald has the follow
ing pertinent comment on the dyna-
hitting trial:
One thing Ortie McManigaTs testi-
mony ought to be pressing home to
the American people is that it is too
rdiculously easy to buy dynamite,
nitro glycerin or any other high eX-
plosive useful in destroying property
n human life.
II o hate somebody and mediate
ftendish violence, you can buy dyna-
mite, apparently, as easily rs you can
buy tooth powder.
Nobody asks you what you want it
for, or takes any steps to see that
you don't do any mischief with it.
1t may come to the necessity Of
registering everybody who buys any
explosive, or the ingredients with
which explosives can be made, and
surrounding their purchase with safe
guards like those which now surround
the sale of deadly drugs.
This might inconvenience those
who sell these things, but hat
oughtn't to count at all. 1t is alto
gether too easy, now, to buy the ma
terials for producing death and
disaster.

me, l tear EN- up, and l get we'll"
y T. =
DR.. Wekerle, Hungarian minister
of finance, had a country-seat at
Pills, near Buda Pesth, where he was
in the habit of spending his Sundays.
His only piece Of luggage on these
occasions consisted of a small hand
bag, which never contained anything
but the regulation bottle, four hand
kerchiefs. and a travelling cap. Re-
turning one Monday to the capital, the
minister met a friend, a gentleman
named Won Fischer, who was carrying
a bag exactly the counterpart of his
excellency's Valise. Herr Won Fischer
smiled a thoughtful smile as he MOTTO
ed the similarity of the bags and
whispered to the minister: my bag
is filled with struggled Turkish tobac-
co. You will be good enough to shield
me against the custom house spies, 1
hope" The minister looked serious.
Il Will do nothing OF the kind" he
said, and hen the two gentlemen ar
rived at h Pesth depot, the minister
Deckoned to a custom house official
and said: MY friend desires to pay
duty on a lot Of Turkish tobacco he
has in his bag" His excellency is
joking" cried the baron, who mean
while had changed bags with the
hiIiHSNSI SSSS L nave no C~OnIEdDaIlO
articles about me- and he opened the
bag in proof of what he said. The
minister looked perplexed for a mo-
ment, then he resolutely grabbed his
friends bag and said to the official:
wei, assess me for the tobacco, but
be quick about it. 1 nave no time to
lose" The official acted on the sug-
g~estion, and the minister paid three
forms and nifty ~pfennings into the
treasury Of his own department. Then
he jumped into the carriage and drove
off, shouting out his thanks to the
baron for his present of twenty pounds
of excellent tobacco.
