ConfoundIne a Brasgart.

When Louis Napoleon was presi.
dent Of the second French republic,
the officer in command at Lyons was
General Castellane, a veteran whose
stern rule kept In check the riotous
spirits of that disorderly city.
One OF the most boisterous citizens
was a barber, who openly boasted that
he only waited for an opportunity to
rid the city OF Its stern command
ant.
The general heard OF the threat. and
n afternoon ordered his Coachman
70 drive to the BARRIERS shop. Leav.
ing his carriage, the general entered
the shop unattended, took a seat in a
vacant chair, and desired the barber
TO shave him.
The astonished braggart performed
the operation as well as his nervous,
ness would permit. When he had fin.
ished, the general paid him, and said
quietly:
Monsieur. since you have not
svailed yourself Of the opportunity
have given you to cut my throat

uttering threats that you have not
the courage TO carry out?"-Youth's

WILL HANG ON TO THE CLAM
Editor Gives Due Notice Of His Action
II Ever He Should Find One
In the Chowder.

When Mrs. Kennedy found a pearl
In an oyster while dining at a hotel
In Chicago the assistant manager
claimed the jewel on behalf of the
hotel. but the more discriminating
manager decided it belonged to the
lady, since she had bought the oyster
and was entitled to all that the oyster
contained.
or course she was. A Learl is a
thing that properly belongs to an oy-
ster, and although pearls are rarely
found in the restaurant variety there
Is always the possibility, and that
possibility is included in the price OF
the oyster.
Now II Mrs. Kennedy had found a
diamond ring or a pair Of shoes In the
oyster there might have been some
valid claim on the part OF the hotel,
since such things are not the natural
appurtenances OF the oyster.
Suppose the ordinary restaurant we're
TO lay claim to every clam found In
the chowder. You may say that the
analogy Is far fetched, since clans are
never found. In the clam chowder. But
let us suppose It for the sake OF argu-
ment.
The restaurant proprietor might
argue that any clam found under such
circumstances must have been lost,
stolen, or strayed, and that ordinarily
speaking It was not a conceivable con
t~ingency that It should find It's way
into the chowder,
But the law would be against him.
The law would fetch forth some hoary
old tradition to the effect that clans
were once associated with chowder
and 1t would maintain that the pur-
chaser OF the chowder was fairly en-
titled to his treasure troye.
1t would allow him to keep that
clam, to swallow It. frame It, stuff 1t,
or do anything else he pleased with
It. It would be regarded as his clam.
And It is the same with the pearl in
tho oyster. The fact that n pearl has
been found In n restaurant oyster, and
not for the first time either, encour-
ages us In the Wild hope that In our
humber walk in life we may one day
fnd a clam in the chowder.
And so w give notice % Ill and
sundry that we shall retain that clam
and make good our rights Of posses.

NO ACTION ON
NICARAGUAN TREATY
SENATE COMMITTEE WILL NOT RE
PORT AT THIS SESSION.
NEGOTIATED IN DECEMBER
Compact Gives United States Right to
Build N~icaraguan Canal, and Was
Agreed Upon as a Panama
Canal Protection.

WashingtOn.-The senate will take no
action at this session on the treaty re-
Gently negotiated with the republic OF
Nicaragua by which the United States
would secure for the sum OF So 900, 600
a perpetual and exclusive right to build
an interoceanic canal through that coun-
try. At a meeting of the foreign rela-
tions committee of the senate it was
determined to recommend no action on
the convention during the present con-
gress.
The treaty was negotiated last Decem'
Der by American Minister Weitzey at
Nicaragua, because of rumors that other
nations had from time to time consid'
cred the feasibility of building a water
way to compete with the Panama canal
In addition to giving the United States
exclusive canal rights in the treaty that
ships of the United States might be ad
mitted to coastwise traffic and that thi:
country could have the right to estab
lish a naval station in the gulf of Fon
SEGA, a 99-year lease being included or
the Great and Little Corn Islands.
Original plans for a canal across Mica
ragua provide that it should follow the
route through the San Juan river and
Lake Nicaragua. The pending treaty
not only gives the United States exclu
sive control over that route, but ovel
any other route that might be selecte;
acorss the isthmus. The condition tt
be met by the United States is the pay
ment of So, 0 900 within one year from
the ratification Of the convention.
