BulI Moose Continues.
From the Buffalo News.
The executive committee of the Pro-
gressive party of the United States
has looked the ground over fully and
carefully and concluded that the party
shall not dissolve of It's own accord,
but Will endeavor to hold a national
convention two years away, adopt a
platform and name a ticket.
The party committee has made
statement that the Industrial depres-
sion and reaction against the Demo-
cratic tariff was the Issue which de-
termined the results of the recent
election. The committee also said
that the way to provide stable, indus
trial conditions and business peace is
to accept the principle of protection
as fixed national policy and take the
tariff out OF politics.
No one who considers the situation
| without bias will incline to dispute
| that proposition. Whenever we have
! a rational degree of protection we
! have a high average of prosperity
When that policy is abandoned we
run into business depression and hard
| times.
It can be little comfort to the pro-
moters of the Underwood Wilson Law
that they are saved from utter dis
credit and from overwhelming rebuke
at the polls by the breaking out OF
the war abroad, which Is by common
consent such an aid to our industries
as to amount to virtual protection.
1t simply, however, leaves Amer
| lean industry in a state of doubi
about investing, because with the re-
turn of peace there would be also a
return of competition with the cheaI
labor of foreign countries and COM
petition that would compel the wage
| earners in our country to accept
! foreign wages or go out of business.

Struck With a Quart of Wood

Isaac Binder, interpreter iLl the
Fourth Precinct Court, Is very con-
scientious in his ecorts to repeat
word for word whatever is told him
by witnesses unable to speak Eng
ush. but whose stories are necessary
for the court to know. Many laugh
able bits Of testimony are given IN
consequence.
Recently, when Clerk William Guill
was presiding, an assault and battery
case was being tried The man who
had been beaten up had the evidence
of II in sight-a long cash on his
forehead-but he confessed that he
knew little of the details of the affair
because he was partially drunk at the
time 1t all happened.
"What did he strike you with?''
asked Judge Yuill.
The question was turned into the
witness's own language by Interpret
er Binder, and his reply brought g
smile to the face of the interpreter
who repeated the question and ther
told the court, "He says he was nil
with a quart"
That's what you got drunk with
maybe but what did he hit you with
to make the cash on your head?
asked the court.
In mOmeHI OF Two tne interpreter
said:
"TIe says that's right-he got hit
with a quart"
"Ouart of what?" asked the judge.
Quart of wood" came the reply,
after a minute.
Then came a discussion. which
finally BROUGHT this from Interpreter
Binder: That's right; he got hit
with a quart of wood--that's what
made the cut on his forehead. ORE
of those quarts of wood you know
they sell potatoes out of =
IA meas''re?" asked the court.

servia In Serious Plight.
Evening Star.

Washington Evening Star.
The fall of Belgrade before the Aus
trian attack, which was announced
officially yesterday, has for some
time been foreshadowed. It cannot
fail TO give great encouragement to
the Teutonic allies, for il is believed
to be token of the serious weaken
ing of Servian resistance to Austrian
pressure. Signs are not wanting that
the Servian army is about at the end
of its resources and that unless re-
inforced strongly by Russia it can
not hold out much longer. The Aus
trian army operating against Servia
has been estimated at half million
men, and il Servia collapses this
force will be released for the major
campaign against Russia.
It was reported the other day that
fifteen Russian regiments had made
their way up the Danube. with large
quantities Of ammunition and sup
plies for the purpose of aiding the
Servians. There Is present reason to
doubt the truth of this report, mas
much as from the Servians now come
urgent calls on Russia for assistance.
Particular anxiety appears to be felt
in Servia respecting the Bulgarian
policy, a fear being now expressed
that Bulgaria, encouraged by the fall
OF Belgrade and the apparent turn OF
the tide in favor Of Austria in this
theatre OF the war, may regard the
time as opportune for participation to
wreak revenge upon Servia for her
action In the second Balkan war. II
is reported that a special emissary
has been sent from Petrograd to Sofia
in the hope of persuading Bulgarfa
to continue neutral. If she does not

Waiter loses Els JOB

As a rule walters are exceedingly
polite and decidedly patient, but at
times they become petulant and
slightly sarcastic. The other day one
of those patient fellows, who worked
in q prosperous Broad street restau-
rant, fell into the petulant mood. AS
result he is out Of a job and has
Joined the great army of the unem-
ployed. This is how it happened: 1t
fell to his lot to serve rather crusty
old gentleman, crusty at meal times
only, but good natured in every other
way. He has a habit of sizing up
situations over his spectacles, thus
giving him the aspect of glaring.
The waiter had placed an Ice
pudding before the customer and was
moving off when the customer called
out:
Here's fly in this pudding. Funny
old fly to be around this time % the
year"
The waiter gazed at the fly for a
second, then said:
"Well, let him stay, there, sir, and
catch cold. He was in plate OF
soup a few minutes ago. Guess he
takes this place for q Turkish bath,
and walked away.
1t chanced that the manager of the
restaurant overheard the conversation
The waiter was promptly given his
passports.

Christina Rossetti, Elizabeth Agassiz

BY MARY MARSHALL.
copyrighted 1914.

Christina Rossetti, who was born
eighty-four years ago today, was
the sister of the poet, Dante Gabriel
Rossetti, and a member of a very
gifted italian family living in Lon
don. She began verse writing when
she was a very little girl and contin-
ued to write occasionally all her life.
At the age of nineteen. on account
of the illness of the head of the fam
lily, it was necessary for Christina
and her brothers and sisters to go to
work. and this Christina did by
teaching italian, in which she was as
proficient as she was in English.
Christina was of an exceedingly re-
ligious temperament. and 1t has been
said that had she not spent SO much
of her energies composing books of
devotion she might have become a
greater poet. AS 1t was, she wrote

When my wife brought the baby up
She followed modernized advice
She sterilized each spoon and cup,
And fumigated all the ice.
Each toy and plaything round the place
Received boric acid bath
Yes, wife did rigidy embrace
The so-called prophylactic path.
The child received three baths day
In water which had been distilled

All microbe larvae must be killed.
The picture books were clarified
In royal antiseptic style,
By hot air, purged and rarihed,
Devoid of all bacilli vile.
Yet our babe lacks the healthy look
OF that small filthy Bronson boy
Who plays down there beside the brook,
And makes mud pies with childish JOY.
His eyes shine like the stars at night
He's dirty but is well and strong
Ny wife declares he is fright
And yet somehow, fear she's wrong

one Of two really unrivaled poems,
and has been placed above Mrs.
Browning In technique and depth OF
feeling. 1t has been said that few
poets have expressed the "agonies
of disappointed and hopeless love as
has Christina Rossetti." And her
biographer is inclined to ascribe this
fact to the fact that she herself eX-
perienced disappointment of this
sort. When she was a young girl
she was betrothed to an English
man, but because of religious differ
ences they we're never married.

The War and our Resources.

The War ana our Resources
From the Rochester Union and Advertiser.
In a recent address in Philadelphia
Mr.. George Otis Smith, director of
the United States geological survey,
pointed out that the war in Europe is
directing attention to vast resources
of a mineral sort which this coun-
try possesses, but which for various
reasons have been but little developed.
'In any estimate of American abil-
ity to make the most of the present
opportunities for Industrial eXpan-
sion" says Director Smith, mo bet
ter measure of the inventive genius
of this country can perhaps be found
than in q moments review of what is
making the European war so terrible.
Strictly neutral may we be, yet from
the heights above to the depths below
we find American inventions at the
front'--the aeroplane, the magazine
rifle and machine gun, the barbed
wire, and the submarine and it's tor
pedo. Can not our nation lead as well
in fashioning the tools OF pace as in
designing the machines of war;"
1t can hardly be said that we have
not advanced to a prominent place in
'fashioning the tools of peace" but
| it is true that we have not thus far
made the most of our opportunities.
The American people have no wish
| to take advantage of the evils which
affiict Europe, but 1t seems to be a
decree of destiny <hat they shall be
gamers through the general suspen-
| sion of all industrial progress and
development acIoss the sea. 1t viii
