AS The EDITOR SIcS IT

Funny, isn't it? Yet It doesn't
seem to raise laugh.
Political factions will accuse
each other Of every conceivable
crime during az election, and
then forget all about it after the
votes are counted. They will even
take 8 long swig from the same
bottle.
If they were convicted Of one
tenth OF the crimes charged d
gainst them there wouldn't be
jails enough in the country 20
hold them.
But it seems to be the way Of
human nature.
And most Of US are human.

Versatile Public Life.
When Mr.. Monroe left his Virginia
home to live in New York he had
ended Il versatile public life. At
eighteen he left Williams college to
enter the revolutionary army of
George Washington, and rose to be
military commissioner of his home
state. He was elected to the assembly
of Virginia later; in time he became
a member of congress, he was in the
convention which considered the CON
stitution, and he IA minister pleni-
%potentiary to France.
On his return Mr.. Monroe was
chosen governor of Virginia; then, as
envoy extraordinary to France, ne
negotiated the Louisiana purchase.
After holding the ministerial position
in the British isles he entered as a
leading figure the negotiations for the
purchase of Florida from Spain. A
second term as governor of Virginia
and periods of duty in the secretary
ships Of state and war preceded his
election twice as President.
Outstanding of the services of Mr..
Monroe was that which has come to
mea so much in the determination of
American international relations. In
the action of the scenic and historic
society is to be restored the final
refuge of the man whose chief claim
to perpetual glory was the declaration
that:
Neither e%ntangling ourselves in
the broils Of Europe nor suffering any
power of the world to interfere with
the affairs of the new, and attempt on
their (the European powers) part to
extend to any portion of this hemi-
sphere would be dangerous to our
peace and safety and would be op-
posed accordingly"

Halifax, N. S.-While no broomstick

the face of the moon, there are any
number of people in Nova Scotia who
will take an oath that imps of no good
intent are peopling the fair hills OF
Antagonist county.
Alexander Macdonald, a farmer, has
boarded up his valley home and fled
with his family and chattels in the
dead of winter. His neighbors say
they have seer with their w eyes,
and without the assistance Of potable
spirits, the manifestations Of the Evil

So much credence is being given to
the tales of witches and imps that a
Halifax newspaper has assigned a
member of it's staff to break his way
through the inland SHOWS until he
reaches the Macdonald house and live
there for two weeks.
Macdonald and his family awoke one
morning three weeks ago to find that
their horses had been driven into a
lather and returned to their stalls be-
fore dawn. The cattle had beer turned
out of the barns In a driving snow
storm. The tails Of the heifers had
been braided.
This was repeated the next morning
and the next. The third night, Mac
Donald says the fire imps appeared. In
unexpected places jets of flame would
break out for no apparent reason. The

ENDED DAYS WITH DAUGHTER
american Scenic and Historic Society
wall Preserve Last Haven of
Fifth President Of the
United States.

New York.-In what used to be me
parlor Of an aged, ~ramshackle house
at to Prince street, New York, a brace
or junk men the other day stopped
among little mounds Of rags and
bones and bottles, their hands moving
IN a wild frenzy of assortment. From
the ceiling hung flimsy chains of dirt,
the walls were great faces pockmarked
by the plague of neglect. The floor
seemed as the grimy palette of the
artist Time, who had painted the
place, in skiliful completeness, with a
thick coat Of dust. Against this single
motif, black, the junk men worked
with fastidious care.
That front room was clean and
CHEEKY in 1880. 1t was of real beauty.
for, as the house was in a fashionable
section of New York, the reception of
persons high in social circles took
place there. And one day in that year
James Monroe, fifth President of the
United States, mounted the steps with
perhaps the thought well in his mind
that here would be his last haven.
An Arrival Prepared for.
One may imagine how busy Mrs.
Samuel l.. Gouverneur was as she di-
rected the servants to tidy the home
for her father, Mr.. Monroe, observes
the Kansas City Times. He was sew
enty-two years old, and she realized
that it would be extremely nice for
her to make him as comfortable as
possible: he needed comfort; his
health was impaired, his fortune shat
tered, and he had been overwhelmed
only a twelvemonth before by the
death of his wife.
SO, in that room where the junk men
labored with their choice bits of soiled
cloth and their smelly bottles only the
other day, the man who conceived the
Monroe doctrine sat, almost a hundred
years ago, and reviewed his career, or
read, or merely looked far and away,
in consummate idleness. His death oc-

Day by day it has suffered under the
lack of care; many a wrinkle has APP
peared in it's stark countenance. and
If such a thing as a house can be
rheumatic there is no doubt it has felt
many a cringe in it's joints. 1t was
once proud and pretty, for Mr..
Gouverneur was postmaster nine
years, and it sheltered gatherings of
the elite. It is fitting that this for

arising national policies should be res
