eRlTORlAL

Near motor car accidents are very
common occurrences IN the streets
uf Dcming and the highways of the
valley. That they have not ended
fatally is the result of great good
luck which is alleged To favor drunk
persons and fools, but some day the
tale will be- different aud precious
lives will BE- snullrd ont through
criminal carelessncss, Mr.. Speed
Maniac and Mr.. Careless Driver will
NOT meet ON The corner to boast and
laugh about the cscapade. Then
drastic ordinances will be passed and
there will be lot of other useless
agitation. Stop the practice OF last
and careless driving now and there
will be no tragedies To record.
II is noticeable that many motor
lists forget that they are entitled to
only half of the thoronghfare and
il seems that number Of owners OF
horse drawn vehicles have forgot
ten that faster conveyance com
ing up from behind is also entitled to
lis share of the road. OF all the mi
crobes known to bacteriology the
road hog" is the meanest and most
pestilential and yet is one of the
commonest

the GREAT POWERS WERE
GIVEN CITY OF SCUTARI

London, May 5.-King Nicholas of
Montenegro, having placed the future
OF Scutari in the hands of the Euro
pean Powers, the settlement of the
Albanian trouble now depends upon
whether Essad Pasha and Djayio
Pasha will obey the orders sent by
the Sublime Porte to withdraw their
armies to the Turkish empire. 1t is
believed that as Montenegro has
abandoned Scutari, Essad Pasha will
recognize the futility of his aspira-
tons to the kingship of Albania, in
the face of the threatened Austro-
Italian expedition TO expel him.

A Very "Uncluhable" Man.

Boswell gives the number of orig inal members of "Thc Club" as nine One of them, however, Sir John Hawkins. presently withdrew, his own version being that 1.-The Clubs late hours were inconsistent WitE his domestic arrangements. On the authority of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Boswell was able to give the true reason. Hawkins Was so rude to Burke one evening that the other members made it plain to him that his company was no longer wei- come.
 It was in connection with Haw- kins and his behavior at ''The Club" that Johnson coined a most useful word. Hawkins refused to pay his share of the reckoning for the sup per, on the ground that he usually ate no supper at home.
 "Sir John. sir" commented John son, is very unclubable man."

How He Hated Smokers!

Tennyson Was the smoking poet of the Victorian era. His two great contemporaries - Browning and Swinburne-hated tobacco, espe- cially Swinburne. He expressed himself with characteristic vehe- lnence. He had wandered into the Arts club, where he sought, and sought in vain. room that was free from the fumes of tobacco smoke. At length his fury over came him. "James the First" he exclaimed, "was knave, a tyrant. fool, a liar. d coward, but love him, l worship him, because he slit the throat of that filthy blackguard Raleigh, who invented this filthy smoking"

Furnishing a Court Fool.

Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great and the Emperor Paul had rough ways with their fools. A dag ger thrust would follow poor joke and banishmcnt any sign of declin- ing wit. Once when Fougerc, the jester of Car Paul, offended his royal master he was permitted to depart in peace. In the middle of the night, however, he was aroused and ordered to get up and prepare for immediate punishment to Si- bcria. In vain the unhappy man pleaded. He was bundled into a dark van and driven away on his long journey. Day after day, week after week. it lasted. Upon arrival he stepped out into the presence of the ear. All the time he had been driven not toward Siberia. but around and around St. Petersburg!

A snobbish young Englishman visiting Washington's home at Mount Vernon was so patronizing as to arouse the wrath of the guards and caretakers. but it remained for Shep Wright, an aged gardener and one of the first scouts of the Con- federate army, to settle the gentle man. Approaching Shep. the Eng lishman said:
 "Ah-er-my man, the hedge! Yes, I see, GeoBge got this hedge from dear old England"
 "Reckon he did," replied Shep. E'He got this whole blooming coun- try from England" ."-Everybody's.
