One on President Wilson.


President Wilson can enjoy joke, even
when it is on himself.
Col. George Harvey, the brilliant editor
OF the North American Rerie,r, and Presi-
dent Wilson were renewing old fellow
ships and burying the hatchet on Peace"
Sunday. 1t will be recalled that there was
.'falling out' between the President and
Col. Harvey shortly after the Baltimore
convention. Mutual friends, however,
got busy, and on Peace Sunday the
Ratchet burying scene was pulled of at
the White House.
While official etiquette forbids the divul-
gence OF Presidential conversations, little
bird is responsible for this recital of what
happened. Mark Twain's name came up,
remarked casually that there were persons
still in existence who never had heard of
the great humorist. The President found
this almost incredible.
"Oh, yes," the Colonel continued, "only
yesterday, here in Washington, / met
such an one. He was an office-seeker.
He declared positively that he never had
heard OF Mark Twain.
81 asked him about Tom Sawyer. No,
he never had heard OF him, either. Nor
Huck Finn? No, never. Nor Pudd 'nhead
Wilson? 'Oh, Lord, yes he calculated.
Il voted for him."
And the Presidents roar of delight did
not diminish in the least when the colonel
continued softly, and, he added, visit
fully, that's all the good it done me-"

Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors
wear a lot of brass buttons. The
civilian who doesn't care much about
brass buttons anyhow may find it
difficult to realize that Uncle Sam
spends from $4,000 to $4,000 q
years for brass and bronze buttons.
The democratic tariff cut the duty on
these buttons from 80 per cent. to 10
per cent. As soon as this cut was
made, an English firm entered COM
petition for the button contract, and
because of cheap labor was able to
underbid the American manufac-
turers, who had handled the contract
satisfactorily for several years and
had given employment to hundreds of
mer. New England manufacturers,
naturally, made big protest. No
attention was paid to this until the
protest became so strong that demo-
Cratic senators and congressman from
New England saw their mistake, and
urged the cancellation of the British
contracts. Not until July, however,
was the contract cancelled, and then
1t was given up on the ground that
unsettled conditions made delivery
uncertain.

Looks as If the revenue cutter
Woodbury. will be the sole guardian
for the government of Portland's
commerce this winter. The andre
scoggin at present, or, perhaps, as
usual, would be better, is hauled out
for repairs, this time at Baltimore.
When she does come off the ways it is
understood she will be assigned to
duty in eastern waters near the
Grand Banks. Just how long will the
gallant old Woodbury. be permitted to
battle with the winter seas of the
North Atlantic when it is known that
her more than halt century of life has
pretty well sapped her vitality? -

For the first time since the demo-
cratic tariff went into effect the for
eign trade balance is turning in our
favor. In the first week of October, a
favorable trade balance of about &c.
800, 900 was shown. This is due, of
course, to the fact that many of the
countries with which we do business
are not producing the goods which we
would ordinarily purchase and are
obliged to buy the goods which we
have to sell. This will materially ease
the gold exchange situation and slim
ulate business in the United States.

PANTHER AND BEAR.
4 Vicious Battle to the Death With
Thrilling Climax.

A Vicious Battle to the Death With
Thrilling Climax.
when my grandfather was young
man he used to hunt great deal"
says a writer In the American Maya
zine. HE had brother living In Mon
tana. and in the fall OF 1883 he decided
to go and spend the winter with this
brother and hunt One day his brother
was telling about large cave IN the
mountains where some panthers lived.
He thought IL would be a good chance
to try to get one. So une morning a
few days fater be started out to end
the cave. When he came in sight OF 1t
he didn't see any stir. 50 kept creeping
closer.
He finally came to a path; there
seemed to be a lot of different tracks
He began looking for place to hide
and finally discovered ledge and
climbed up and sat down to rest Sud-
denly he heard a sound Of cracking
brush. He got his rife up ready when
down the path came an old bear and
three cubs: the little cubs were playing
like kittens. The old bear walked up
to the cave, shifted few times and
went In. In few minutes she came
out with little panther, killed 1t and
gave 1t to the cubs. She repeated this
three times, and every one she killed
would scream and the old panther
would answer away on In the woods.
and each time nearer.
After she had killed them all she
cuffed the cubs and sent them up a
tree. Then she began digging hole
In the ground and shifting the air. In
few minutes the old panther scream
ed and it seemed just little distance
away. The old bear lay down on her
back In the hole she had dug. She
was ready for fight. The panther came
straight for the bear. She gave one
leap and struck on the bear. There
was a fierce struggle. with screaming
and snarling. and In less than ten min
utes the bear was torn to fragments.
The panther walked into the cave and
came right out again and gave a
scrsam that was bloodcurdling. Just
tim she saw the cubs. She gave a
leap and brought one down and killed
II, and went after the rest and killed
them
''She shifted the air again and began
coming toward my grandfather. who
had been watching from the ledge
above. He raised bis rife. took good
aim and fired.
That was the last he knew until he
became conscious again. for he tainted
as soon as he shot but the panther
was dead-he had hit her between the
eyes.
He didn't wait to pick up his lunch
box, but went fast for home.
HE often says that is the most game
he ever got with one bullet, but he
wouldn't want to see it all over again"

The failure of Congress to pass a

The failure of Congress to pass
rivers and harbors bill at the present
session has brought the members OF
the rivers and harbors committee face
to face with serious situation, and
they are now discussing with great
Interest the pros and cons of river
and haroor bill during the short ses-
sion which begins on the first Mon
day in December. Representative
Sparkman, of Florida, chairman of the
committee, told the correspondents
the other day that it was the inten-
ton of his associates to get to work
on bill Immediately after the re-
assembling of Congress, and have it
reported before the Christmas holi-
DAYS.

"sSick of War News.''

New York SUM-
II is not easy to understand the
psychology of the expression, 81 am sick
of war news" 1t seems hardly possible
that any one should be so narrow in his
interests, so lacking in human sympathy
as to become surfeited with the details Of
one OF the most portentous crises OF hu-
manity.
Not merely generations but centuries to
come will dwell upon the present clash OF
nations. Libraries will be written upon
it, lives spent in its study. 1t will be the
source of inspiration of countless millions,
and thousands of the wise or near wise
will deduce conclusions from it for the
guidance OF mankind. Imagination and
emotion will enrich themselves from its
slightest episodes. The effects are incal-
culable. The physical aspects of civiliza-
ton now SCARED and blackened and pres
sently to be beautified and adorned on ac-
count of it only typify the abasements
and Qualifications which the soul OF the
world will undergo.
Yet there are people to whom destiny
has granted the supreme privilege OF
being contemporary observers Of the
struggle, holders of front seats at the
spectacle OF the ages, sharers OF its great
emotions, who still turn away from it,
not from agony or horror, but apparently
from sheer blase indifference. They are
sick of it. ~ wish," they say, sthey'd
give us something else" Truly, we have
here curious frivolity. intolerance of the
higher call, of world realities, OF stuff of
the spirit which is as strange and mex
plicable as war itself.
OF course the newspapers are blamed.
They are the natural scapegoats for the
alterations of their readers. "Cut out the
| army of words" says a distinguished
legislator, "just give us the information"
He does not realize that there are not
words enough to give the information,
that language is bankrupted by the facts,
that it is only by heaping Ossa upon
Pelion that some dim picture of the reality
can be thrown before the eyes of such as
will read with imagination ana feeling.

Mother Love.

Suggested by reading of a Belgian mother,
during the Invasion OF Belgium, interpos-
ing er own body between a soldiers bayo-
net and her babe.
The painting doe turns In her harried course,
While echoing wood to deep .mouthed cries
resounds;
To save her young she marshals all her
force
Lures to herself the hate of tireless hounds.
There, in the gloom OF snow-environed hills,
The sacrifice, a brave but willing one,
Yields to the wrangiing pack that riotous
fills
The air with the great deed they've done.
So has it been since living things were born,
The helpless weak crushed in tyrant's
hand;
So will it be till some millennium morn
Will rise, and men will know, and under
stand.

Retiring Principal Almost
Too Modest to Go to Dinner
Especial to the Newark star.1

JERSEY CITY, Jan. Principal
Abner Joslih was the most reluctant
man of all who came to the dinner
given to him in the old school build
ing of Public School No. IL yesterday
by the Board of Education and some
of his former pupils. Principal Joslin,
who is seventy-fve years old and has
been teaching in this city for the past
forty -eight years, is SO modest and
retiring that he had to be coaxed to
attend the dinner arranged in his
honor when 1t was announced at
Christmas time that he was about to
retire.
But, nevertheless, he was the hap
piest man present. For he met some
of his best pupils, those who made
the best out OF the education lucy re-
ceived while under his care. Th Se
was a certain Jimmy Fielder, now
governor of the State; Eugene Leal1e,
q former congressman, and Moritz
Schwartz, organist at the Old Trinity,
in New York. and many others who
came to press his hand and bid him
farewell. School Director Robert M.
Brennan was chairman at the recep-
ton and DIR. Oliver Blanchard, presi-
dent of the Board of Education, made
q speech. Mr. Joslin made a. speech,
in which he told some stories of the
old days.
