EUROPE MUST REFORM.

The United States will do more for
Europe, give all assistance IL can rea-
sonably give for the restoration Of nor
NAL conditions, when Europe manifests
disposition to take into due considera-
the fact that this country has rights as
well as moral obligations which it is
perfectly willing to assume under pro-
per conditions.
1t is really high time for Europe to
revive the old-fashioned, honorable oc-
cupation of helping herself. Then help
from this side will be freely given. pro-
vided that it is not inconsistent with
duty that this nation owes to itself.

SHOW POWER OF IMAGINATION
Seemingly Authenticated In
stances Where malignant Antisi-
patton" Brought Fatal Results.

The story of the court jester who,
believing himself about to be beheaded,
fell dead when whiplash was flicked
across his neck, and the modernized
version of the same tale where a
Reno man supposedly dreaming of the
guillotine was killed by the tap of his
wife's fan, recall to Clevelander a
similar story.
He says it happened during the
Mexican war and that a Cleveland
man was on the firing squad men
toned In the tale. 1t appears that
a young soldier, a Kentuckian in Gen.
Zach Taylor's expeditonary force, was
charged with sleeping at his post, or
absence without leave, or something
equally serious, and was sentenced
to be shot.
The youth had friends and the facts
In tn case were taken up to the COM
handing officer, who found extenuatIng
circumstances and pardoned the Ken
tuckian. This act displeased the cap
tain OF the company in which the
youth was enrolled, and he decided to
throw n wholesome scare into the
young soldier.
So he stood him up before a file Of
his comrades and six bulleuess mus
kets banged as one, and the young
man fell dead-killed by malignant
anticipation as the narrator Of the
story calls it.

But what the question was they did
not discover just then for the door

Threshold appeared police officer
followed by the landlady.

the officer loudly "Thls lady here

fore the indignant landlady could re
ply he was gone.
The girl turned to James Barton.
"Who are your" she asked you're
not an ordinary piano tuner Why
did the policeman say you were all
rght?"
Wei, I'll own up, said James Bar
ton "My names James Barton, and
my father is Edward Barton. He just
about owns the city, l guess, but he's
a nice man In spite of that. I'm a

Her eyes were filled with tears, but
her voice was brave. James Barton
wanted TO take her in his arms then
and there and comfort her. but he re
fiected that it would hardly be the
thing to do en- such short acquaint-
ance. He went back TO the theme OF
the conversation where it had been in
terrupted by the entrance of the land
lady and the policeman.

are we going to do about it? You

THE TIME TO SETTLE COAL STRIKE
Chicago Trihun,

Chicago Tribune.
The coal strike. the greatest and
most complete in the history of this
country. has now been in effect for two
weeks with hardly more than a super
ficial ripple of public interest. Trains
are running as usual factories are op-
Grating as usual, food and other sup
plies appear to be unhampered. The
operators are making money selling off
accumulated supplies with better de-
mand than they have enjoyed for many
months. The miners. long accustomed
to periods of idleness, and with come
money left from the squirt of activity
which preceded the strike, are getting
along as well as usual The public is
" disturbed and generally indifferent.
That situation cannot last. Supplies
are being consumed much more rapidly
than they are being produced from the
non union mines still operating In a
month or so we shall begin to feel the
pinch In two months, If nothing is
done. factories will be closing, railroad
trains will be taken off, the reviving
