GOT THEIR MONEYS WORTH
Landlord Was Not Equipped by Ma.
ture to Get the Best of Shrewd
p. T. Barnum.

In the very interesting book of
famous Snowman, wrote 40 years ago.
there is an amusing anecdote that re-
calls the days when the one-ring cir
Gus was the chief attraction Of the
long, hot summer.
The incident occurred when we
were at Hanover Courthouse, in Vir.
ginia, wrote Mr.. Barnum 1t rained
so heavily that we could not perform
there, and Turner (manager of the
show decided to start for Richmond
Immediately after dinner. He was in
formed by the landlord that as our
agent had engaged three meals and
lodging for the whole company, the
entire bill must be paid, whether we
went then or the next morning. No
compromise could be effected with the
stubborn landlord and so Turner pro-
ceeded to get the worth OF his money
as follows:
He ordered dinner at twelve o'clock,
which was duly prepared and eaten.
The table was cleared and reset for
supper at 1880. At one o'clock we
all went to bed, every man carrying
a lighted candle to his room. There
were 36 Of US, and we all undressed
and tumbled into bed as if we were
going to stay all night.
In half an hour we rose and went
down to the hot breakfast that Turner
had demanded and that we found
smoking on the table. Turner was
very grave, the landlord was exceed.
ingly angry, and the rest of US were
convulsed with laughter at the absurd.
ity of the whole proceeding. We dis
posed of our breakfast as il we had
eaten nothing for ten hours. and then
started for Richmond, satisfied that
we had fairly settled with the unrea-
sonable andlord.-Youth' Companion.

ConventionaIity a Tyrant.

There is little doubt that one of the
most oppressive, injurious, detestable
forces in the world is the force of
conventionality, that instinct which
makes men Judge character and an ac,
tion, not by it's beauty or it's merits,
but by comparing it with the standard
of how the normal man would regard
it, writes Arthur G. Benson. This vast
and intolerable medium of dullness,
which penetrates our lives like thick,
dark mist, allowing us only to see the
object in range of an immediate vision,
hostile to all originality, crushingly
respectable, that dictates our homes,
our occupations. our amusements, our
emotions. our religion, is the most
ruthless and tyrannical thing in the
world.

Real Meaning of Phrase.

The expression in the prayer book,
kindly fruits of the EARTH" has for
most persons no definite meaning be-
cause of the difference in significance
now attached to the word kindly from
that used when the expression was
first written. The word kindly in that
connection means as nearly as possible
"of its kind" and the expression
kindly fruits of the earth" meant tho
fruits of the earth each after its

Elihu Root

Elihu Root, that staunch and true
American citizen, made ringing speech
on the floor of the constitutional conven
ton at Albany Monday in favor OF the
short ballot. He rained fire upon the
system of bossism and invisible govern.
ment.which he said had been in existence
in New York for forty years. He made
an earnest plea that the people be armed
with the short ballot, that they may es-
tablish their own rule, concluding with
these eloquent and forceful words:-
"This domination has caused deep
and sullen and long-continued resent
ment among the people at being gov
erned by men not of their choosing. They
demand change. The short ballot plan
is a solution, or at least it may be the
first step that will work out solution.
"There is plain old house in the hills
of Oneida, overlooking the valley OF the
Mohawk, where truth and honor dwelt
in nay youth. When l 60 back, as l am
about to go, to spend my declining years.
l mean to go with the feeling that can
say have not failed to speak and to act
in accordance with the lessons that |
learned therefr from the God of my fathers
In spite OF his repeated declaration that
he will not be candidate, the Republi-
can party can do no better than select
this worthy and eminently qualified man
or its standard.bearer for the Presidency

ton to each other.

The White Mans Burden

The United States has assumed the
fwhite mans burden in troubled Hayti

tary Lansing, who explains that this
government has no intention of seizing
land of the Dominican republic for naval
bases or for any other purpose.
The government plans, Sec'y Lansing
says. to help the Haytians to he Up them
selves and to this end will organize a
stable government under an America a
protectorate. This program ought to
meet with the hearty cooperation of the
Haytian people, who have been victimized
and despoiled by rival bands of revolu-
tionsts led by professional political gen
erals, but probably it will not. The bur.
den imposed on the United States in
saving a people from themselves is any

A Long Way From Insolvency

Hints that some OF the belligerent ma
tions are on the verge of bankruptcy
are seen almost daily in the newspapers
AMI the enormous expenditures tor the
war give Color to these intimations. Fl
nancial exhaustion, many fnanciers say
conhdentially. will end the conflict and
that before long.
But the history of previous wars teach
es that nation can fight for years on
little money and less credit. The South
ern Confederacy fought for year or two
after it was insolvent and fought well.
The American colonies began the war
for independence with practically an
empty treasury. The Balkan kingdoms
were "fat broke" at the end of their first
war, but their poverty did not prevent
second war among themselves over the
spoils of the first conflict.
A country at war uses first the real
money it has boarded against such con-
tingency. When the war chest is empty,
has recourse to its credit. When its credit
is exhausted, when it can borrow no
more money. it starts the printing presses
and turns out stamped paper which by
governmental fiat is declared money.
The warning powers are still a good
way from exhausting their credit. They
can still get loans. There is talk now in
this country of floating huge English
loan and lately the likelihood of joint
loan to the nations opposing Germany
is being discussed in financial circles in
New York.
So it appears that persons who are
looking for an early collapse of the war
because Of the lack of funds in national
are doomed to disappointm ent.
The second stage, warning on credit,
has only just been reached and beyond
that is paper called money which so long
as it can be exchanged for products, will
carry on the war inde6nitely, even though
there is hardly real dollar to be had.
