TRAINING a Cook,

An Irish servant is, Of all people In
the world, the NEST anxious to please.
and she even desires to do exactly Is
she is told, even when the commands
laid on her are unreasonable. In
THE Lighter Side of Irish Life" Mr..
G. A. Birmingham gives an amusing
instance of this trait.
A young housekeeper once under
took to train a cook. One day. IL
happened that there were whiting for
dinner. She exclaimed carefully the
proper way Of cooking whiting. and.
with a view to achieving elegance In
the serving Of the dish, added that
these particular fish are usually sent
up to table with their tails in their
mouths.
The fish appeared on the dinner
table, not seductively curled after the
pleasant habit OF whiting, but lying
rigidly straight on the dish. Each OF
them, however, had its tail cut off
and neatly inserted into its mouth.
The inexperienced cook had most
conscientiously obeyed what must
have struck her as a merely vexatious
order.-Youth's Companion.

ReyoIution.

Political revolution is in the air.
A mighty storm Of protest against In
competent and unwise Democratic
administration is gathering through
out the North and West and in por-
lions ofSthe South. The Democratic
party has had its day In court. Its
doom is about to be pronounce.
A Democratic congressman from
Colorado has seen the handwriting
on the wall and in Colorado politics,
to see is to act. This congressman
has lost no time in renouncing the
Democratic administration at Wash
|ington as incompetent, and declaring
that the best interests of the whole
country demand the defeat of the
Democratic party this fall. He prone.
ises to lend his voice and his iniiu-
|ence to that patriotic end.

Democratic tariff has all but de-
Istroyed the sugar industry, and in
jured others in which the state is in

and 1t is now said that this state will

wilson Forgot Patriotism.

President Wilson's act in making a
politicAl speech the Fourth of July
IN Indepe ndence Square, under the
very. shadow Of Independence Hall,
has caused wide speculation as to
whether the old time Fourth Of July
oration Is to be supplanted by fac
tional political debate. For more
than century, statesmen, lawyers
and diyines, on the Fourth Of July,
have recalled our colonial difficulties,
the colonlsts' defiant Declaration of
Independence, their suffering and
valor in the camp and field and their
final triumph, then the organization
Of our. government, its defense. per-
petuation, its growth and standing
among nations.
This year, however, at Indepen-
dence Square, Philadelphia, where
the Continental Congress declared
that the seaboard was our own dnd
not, Great Rritain's, President Wilson
defended his act in giving to Great
Britain equal rights with Americans
in the Panama Canal, the prize OF the
western continent, and which cost
more than the value of all the colon
les in 1875, and made a political
speech defending his policies.

Not Cor.

It is suspected by the Telegram
that the Parkersburg State Journal
has another reason than that given
In the snbjoinad editorial published
by the Petersburg newspaper for
protesting against the possible
nomination Of Senator Nathan
Cor for the United States supreme
court. The State Journal has such
"a correct estimate of the sem
ator that 1t wants to see him nomi-
mated for president In 1915 and, OF
course, II he were placed on the SUI
preme court bench his chances OF
being president would be consider
ably reduced. It may also be pointed
out that the press and people OF
West Virginia labored for years to get
Judge Con from the bench into the
political arena and now that they
have him in the latter place they
want to keep him there. Says the
State Journal:
Why do we want Con on the SUI
preme court bench, even IL he could
get there, which he can not do? The
United States Senate Is a higher and
better place for. him. He reflects
more credit on West Virginia there.
By the time he has served as senator
for ten years yet, he will want to quit
anyhow. He would disappear from
public view in the supreme court. 1t

do not believe there are fifty people
