"Improved" Bull Fioht.

A bull fight in Toxic is quite as
much excuse for a gala day as a bull
fight in Madrid. Business men leave
their Offices, and women and children
their homes, to hurry to the arena.
Stripped of all the less exciting, or
less horrible, preliminaries which
characterize the Spanish bull fight, the
animals are brought in and Sent at
each other at once. So the battle is
shorter, and two or three more fights
will follow in quick succession dur
ing the course of an afternoons "en-
tertainment."

Warranted in Using cuss Words.

A small boy in Fort Scott was out
playing with his wagon one day and
just at the critical moment one wheel
came off. The youngster walked
around the wagon several times and
surveyed it with the air of one accus-
toned to disappointment. AS he
dragged the wagon to his home he met
a boy friend who joined him, and to-
gether they trudged on, the Fort Scott
Tribune says. The owner of the wog-
on sat on the front step with a for
lorn look; then quickly Frightening up
he exclaimed: Lets cuss." All
right" returned the other, "Cuss, cuss,
cuss."-Kansas City Star.

SOUTHERN SECTION PLEASED.
Hennessy Constitutional Convention

HehneSSy constitutional C~onVentlon
Bill Is Doomed in State Senate.
1t is comforting to South Jersey that
the Hennessy bill for a constitutional
convention is doomed, the populous
northern section of the State being
sure to be defeated in its desire to
run the State. The Hennessy bill is
through the House, but this is as far
as the bill will get. The measure is
understood to be in for defeat in the
Senate. 1t passed the House by a
considerable majority, but it is to be
remembered that the major member
ship of the House is made up of AS
semblymen from Essex, Hudson, Pas
sale and other more populous counties
in North Jersey, where there is a de-
mand for a constitutional convention,
largely because such a convention
would be expected to result in a pro.
posed change in the Constitution that
would give the larger counties a
greater representation in the State
Senate through changing the basis of
representation in that body to one of
population, instead of the present one
of a single Senator from each county,
irrespective Of the population Of such
county.
Senator Davis Opposes.
Aside from Essex and Hudson coun-
ties, where the demand for a constitu-
tional convention, in order to change
the basis of senatorial representation.
has always been strong, the great
fight in favor of a constitutional con-
vention was made in the House by
Assemblyman Hennessy, of Bergen
county, who introduced the original
bill on this subject. Mr.. Hennessy,
who, at all times, is an aggressive
legislator and a speaker of unusual
ability, made what was undoubtedly

A little girl who had acted as ring

Directing Children Alright.

The young need to be taught that
although there is sometimes a pleas
ure of the senses in committing sin,
it Is inevitably followed by remorse
and punishment. Crime, remorse,
punishment form an inseparable trio.
On the other hand, while it is often
hard to do right, the sense of salts
faction, ~self-respect and self-control
that follow right action is worth all
the effort made.

Jury Reform improbable.

The Assembly has again insisted
upon a referendum in the jury reform
bill, modifying the terms slightly, but
leaving the measure so that it would
stand no chance of success in the
counties where jury-drawing is now
most abused by the Sheriffs. Presi-
dent Wilson is using his influence with
the rebellious Assemblymen, but they
are very practical politicians and see
more profit in obeying their local polit-
ical bosses than the national leader.

Curious Arqument offered.

The opponents of a Constitutional
Convention have had the aid of a
curious argument, new to the State,
but supported by legal authority. 1t
is hat the Constitution can be amend
ed only by the Legislature proposing
a change at two consecutive sessions,
the people to vote upon the PROPOSE
ton at a special election. This pro-
ceeding is defined in the Constitution
as a method of amendment, but here
tofore there has been no attempt to
deny the right of the people to propose
and adopt a new Constitution.

TEN THOUGHT
TO Be DROWNED

Leechburg, Pa, June 2s.-Ten persons
are thought to have been drowned here
tonight when a raft ferry carrying about
60 persons went down in the Kiskiniinetas
river about II o'clock. The list of miss
ing, according to the authorities, includes
two negroes, several foreigners and two
Americans. Five bodies have been re-
covered. The passengers were being
brought across the river from Hyde Park
Pa. On approaching Leechburg they made
a rush, it is claimed, on the forward end
of the craft. The xoessive weight at
the one end caused the raft to tip and
then shoot its nose under the water. Dur
ing the excitement which followed sew
eral of the passengers jumped into the
stream; others fought to retain foothold,
and all on board fell into the water.
The five bodies recovered have not vet
been identified. A large force of men
