WAR NOT A SCOSTLY
AS WAS EXPECTED

London, April Am opening his
budget speech in the house of com
mons today, eRignald McKenna chan
cellor of the exchequer, said it was
assumed that the war would last dur
ing the whole of the financial year.
Mr. McKenna said a generous allow
ance would have to be made for the
difficulty of framing exact estimates in
view of such questions as the short
age of tonnage and restriction upon
foreign trade, and he had assumed
that the war would last during the
whole of the financial year.
The actual expenditure during the
past year was 81 ,559 100000 pounds, or
31,000,0O0 pounds below the estimate
said the chancellor Great Britains
allies had been assisted to the amount
og 100000 pounds.

aside from reading, writing, spell

of actual activities in science, indus

in science would be the central and

TWAIN'SW WEDDING PRESENT

1t was the second of Febru-
airy, 1870, that Samuel Clemens
and Olivia Langdon were mar
ried. The next afternoon the
wedding party set out for Buff
falo. Through a Mr.. Slice, an
agent of Mr.. Langdon's, Glenn
ents had engaged, as he sup
posed, a boarding house quiet
and unpretentious, for he meant
tc start life modestly. Jarvis
Langdon had a plan of his own
for his daughter, but Clemens
had received no inkling of it.,
and had full faith in the letter
which Slice had written saying
that a choice and inexpensive
boarding house had been Sc
cured. When about 900 o'clock
at night the party reached Buff
falo, they found Mr.. Slice wait
ing at the station. There was
snow, and sleighs had been or
dered. Soon after starting, the
sleigh Of the bride and groom
fell behind, and drove about
rather aimlessly apparently 60
ing nowhere in particular. This
disturbed the groom, who
; bought they should arrive first
ara receive their guests. He
criticized Slice for selecting a
house that was SO hard to find,
and when they turned at last in
to Delaware avenue, Buffalo's
finest street, and syopPed before
a handsome house, he was !rou-
bled concerning the richness of
the locality.
They were on the steps when
sen'@ doors opened and a perfect
fairyland of lights and dec0ra-
ticn was revealed within. The
friends who had gone ahead
came out with greetings to greet
the bride and groom. Servants
hurried forward to take bags
and wraps; they were ushered
inside; they were led through
beautiful rooms, all newly ap-
pointed and garnished. The
bridegroom was dazed, unable
to understand the meaning CT it
completeness of their
pC session. At last his young
wife put her hand upon his arm.
Don't you understand,

ways her name for him. Don't

Where limoges Belong.

Should war come, common decency re-
quires that the jingoes, who have urged
it, be put in the places Of greatest hard
ship and danger Common decency also
requires that these should seek, rather
than try to evade such disposition of
themselves. The places of greatest hard
ship and danger are not assigned to
officers, but to privates. This fact
should be impressed upon one of these
jingoes, Colonel Roosevelt, who has had
the bad taste to seek an officers COM
mission in command of body Of volun-
teers to be raised by himself. 1t should
be impressed upon Robert Mccormick,
part owner Of the lingo Chicago Tribune,
who has gone with a militia regiment to
which he belongs, not as private, but in
the safer and easier capacity Of major.
1t should be impressed on William
Randolph Hearst and more of the same
Kind, who are urging that others be sent
TO fight but show no disposition to go
themselves in any capacity. Since some
Of the men who make wars want to shove
on others the. greatest hardships, suffer-
ing and dangers, why should not these
others decline?-The Public.

undone for giving the greatest impress

fire. Fortunately, there were photo
