supported by three RATS made Of huge
pine logs. Soeby, q veteran Of the
Spanish-American war. got the idea of
q floating house-boat when travelling in
China and Japan, and when he returned
home after the war he built three RATS
on the Columbia River, and on these he
erected house and warehouse to keep
nets and boats. chicken pens. and so on:
he also made q garden in which he raised
enough vegetables for the use Of his fam
lily. Soeby's farm and inn. floating Sc
renely on the water, soon became q
favorite headquarters for fishing parties.
Here they were housed and fed. and at
night Soeby would play his old violin
for their entertainment He also gave
music lessons. The farm was moored

however. been 30 greatly mitigated by
its patient inmates during the last few
years that people now live there from
choice.
Butte is not the largest city in the
country. but claims to be the largest
city for its size. It Is situated a mile
above the sea and IL surrounded by cop
per mines and smelters which produce
an atmosphere in which mosquitoes. flies
and tomato plants cannot live. When
q man has successfully mastered the air
Of Butte and can breathe 1t without
corroding his dorsal vertebra he can
live in q gas tank for days without dis
comfort. When the wind il in the wrong
direction and the air Is white and FUN
Gus. Butte citizens burn sulphur matches
in their homes and breathe them for
relief.
The air Of Butte has had no effect
upon the city. however. except to make
1t as bald and guiltless Of vegetation as
Bill Nye's head once was. The only
vegetation in Butte to speak Of Is con-
fined in Columbia gardens in lieu Of a
zoo. and is pointed to with pride by the
citizens as one Of natures wonders.
Butte has 1000 citizens. OF whom
10000 work in the mines and smelters
and the rest boost Butte. To hear a
Butte man talking Of his city Is like
hearing a field mouse conversing In a
hoarse roar. A Butte man Is almost the
only species Of American who can talk
successfully to a New Yorker and make
him curl up and ask questions
Butte Is surrounded by pillars Of smoke

patriot, and the lives and property OF
Americans were placed in jeopardy. Z
Mr.. Wilson regards il as the duty OF
the United States to intervene under
such circumstances. He describes
dollar diplomacy" as one for business
instead of for bullets. He reviews the
situation in Mexico and by his discus
sion Of the Nicaraguan question makes
ii clear-through inference-why the
President has acted wisely in not inter-
vening in Mexico.
We regard the situation in Nicaragua
merely as a forerunner of what may
happen any day N Cuba and Mexico
or in any other Latin-American state
where the established order has been
subverted by an impromptu election.
The logical Interpretation of the Mon
roe doctrine places upon the United
States not merely the protection of its
own citizens, but also the subjects
of all foreign powers. since we strenu-

Progress with . Vengeance.

The old idea of marriage was of a
knot tied, never to be united. Till
death do US part" still is in the mar
riage ceremony. But ours is a radical
age, ready to attack marriage or any
other time-honored institution, so that
the public was only mildly shocked by a
prenuptial agreement to hasty mar
riage at Los Angeles. Cal, following an
acquaintance and courtship of ten days.
This agreement is very advanced"
Among other things, it provides that
the marriage shall not be bar to other
marriage. should this prove unfruitful,
that the tie shall terminate simultane-
ously with the death Of love on either
side" and that neither shall have the
right to restrain the other, should he
or she see fit to incur other parental
responsibility.
This contract is product of the ex-
ceedingly progressive times in which
We are living. 1t goes without saying
that these advanced young people did
not think of seeking the blessing of the
church upon union subject to a re-
call at the pleasure of either party.
The most commendable feature of the
otherwise disgraceful proceeding was
the action of the justice at Los An
geles. engaged to perform the cere-
mony. At the last moment he refused
to proceed on the ground that he could
not subscribe to the principles of the
prenuptial agreement and would not
place himself in the attitude of in
dorsing them by being a part to the
ceremony. After some embarrassment
another magistrate was found without
any scruples concerning prenuptial
agreements, so long as the ceremony
was performed in accordance with the
laws of California. The bride and
bridegroom are both college graduates
and the parents of both have some
fame as authors and lecturers.
