Kit up a carnival, yer can
put it down that there's
Bometliin' dnin'," said Vncle
Bill as hos topped Into the editor's
ofllea with his Sunday unit and
hiyh hat on. And as ho liamioii
the editor a cigar, rmaked "I pot
a hull iiofketfitl uv thew cigars
with a maul. I rather liked the
nchenie, as it p:t me in mind uv
drlvln' fence; posts back East. All I
had ter do was ter put up a nickle an
whack Bway, an' the feler what was
runnin' the machiae would band mp
cigars. I've ben smokin' uv 'era fur
several days, an' am still alive, so yet
better light up."
The editor light the cigar, took a few
whiffs, leaned back in his chair with his
hands locked being his head, and as he
did to a look of suspicion overspread
his contenance as he remarked:
"I'ncle Hill. I have always had a grea'
deal of confidence in you. but this cigar
smells like a pie? of musty rope. Are
you sure that you were at the Elks'
carnival? This cigar Is more sugges
tive of a hangiii;? mate!!."
"Oh. I was at the ramival, all right,
but every one was sort uv strung up a
bit, I gneps. the way they acted. My
Ktirs, it was a fright. Hut I must tell
yer "ooitt the fixiuH they had. Kirst uv
all, the city was decorated in a ptylo an'
manner what. b:sal. eny tiling I've ev. r
seen. Merchants bad vied with each
rt'.cr in el"etr!:al decoration, an' the
Elks bad de, (.rated the stre-ts far
blocks, with fine archways, which sho'ie
with spjomior by day an' siiarkied a;
night, with brilliant Illuminations. Then
tile big tihows that was there boat til
i tref t carnival shows ever broiurht ter
the West: an' as 1 was standing on a
street corner a feller from Chicago
stepped up an' naid: 'Davenport is a
regular young Chicago, ain't it?' I
put my hand dovn t"r my pocket, anil
KhK! away from him, 'canse he had all
the symtnms uv bein' a 'con' man, an' a
'con' man is a good thing ter gt away
from, Va-tK" a feller is apt ter git
burnt, with some of his -hot air bulbs:
an' when nnyone gels ter handin' yer
eny hul'ns. yer cither wants ter git. away
or else git on the exchange list right oif
for it'll cost yer like thunder if yer
don't."
"What do you mean by exchange
list?" asked the editor.
"It's like this, a hot air artist came
up to me an' asked if my name wasn't
'Cy Ctf.her from up state, an' I said:
'Yes, I guess it he, hut yer've got the
oesr. uv rr, cause l never see yer
round Shake Hag." Then he said:
'Cy, gosh dnrn it. I'm glad tor see yer:
how's all the friends in Shake liag?
Don t remember me, eh? Why, my
name Is Nate Grip; used ter live there.'
I knew that he never had, but I said:
'Goo whizz. Nate, yer jest the feller I
wanted ter meet. 'Can't yer lend me
$10 I've had my pockets picked.'
Wall, sir, yer ought, ter uv seen that, fel
ler's jaw '!r0p. He hnw'd anil haw'ed,
an finally said he d left, his'n (iown at
the hotel an' he'd go down an' git me
$10; but he didn't come back, 'cause
I exchanged hot air with him at the
propper time. Hut I must draw a lectin
closer ter the carnival. They had ev
erything from a snake-eater ter a genu
ine case uv 'jim-jams.' The Elks didn't
leave enythlng out, not even the
'crooks,' for the police took care uv
them, and' seen that thgy.didn't want
fur enythlng only a chance They had
the smallest woman afTevral of the
biggest liars on earthV''
"It takes a great ar!ety to make up
a sucessful street carnival," remarked
the editor.
"Wall, they had It up there, all right,"
replied I'ncle Hlil. "everything a feller
could thing uv, an' then some."
"What was the most Interesting sight
thre?" asked the editor.
"The street illuminations at night
was 'bout the slickest thing In the way
uv scrumptuousness that was there.
They they hnd Speedy, the high diver,
Ife'd dive off uv a 90-fot ladder an'
land head foremost in a tub four foot
deep an' splash 'round like a 10-year-old
boy In swimming. The only trouble
was a feller would have ter stand an'
wait fur him an keep lookin' tin whil
a hull lot uv smart allecks would holler
rubber; while some great big girl 'bout
33 years old would hit. yer 'longslde uv
the face with a hall that was tied ter a
rubber string; an' when that was done
a feller was ready ter go an' patronize
thn wild girl side show, 'cause, he was
ready ter believe, that some on 'em was
really wild. An' when a girl Is wild,
she Is either Idiotic or acts that way, at
least,"
"I presume that many sldn shows
were on hand, as Is usual at such car
nivals," said thn editor.
"Yes, they had side shows nn' Inside
shows, where yer could see the hoot ver
coot yer dance, with the al-la-le-le
song, fur a bracer. It sounded like all
In tho allpy, but about the most Inter
estln' show was tho German village.
They had a feller there that was a-sing-ln
a song, 'Sally In Our Alley,' with n
lighted cigar In his month, an' It sound
ed an" looked as though he was a tryln,'
ter smoke poor Sally out nv the nlley.
Then they had the Trylonlan warblers,
that mado a noise like pourln' water
out uv the btinghole uv a barrel a sort
uv a google-google sound that utiggest
ed ter the audience more beer. The
country store was a popular plnce, as
the Klks were storekeeper; an" the way
they sold goods was a surprise ter Ned
Irffo, tho man what runs the mission In
Davenport. And one-half uv the pro
ceeds went for that good Institution."
"People as a general rule will pat
ronize where the aim Is to help the un
fortunate," remarked the editor.
"Everyone that went to the carnival,
went to see the trained animals, others
went to sen thn glrl from up there,'
some went ter the crystal mal.e, where
they got lost a-lookln' at themselves;
but. romln' down Second street I heard
ft feller a-hollerln', 'Have you seen her?
Iluva you een bor?' There was a big
crowd around Mm, an' I thought some
one was lu.st. so 1 asked who was lort,
an' what Kite looked like; and he Mid:

an' take a look.' Wall I Ehelled out
that's all yfr have t-r do at a carnival
is ter keep a-sliellin' out; an', well, I
seo a Shetland pony colt an' a cur dog.
That's what a feller gits fur bein' curi

"You must have taken it all in, Ju:1g

the ( utor.

WAIt OFFICE LEAKS.
Information Can Get Out Without
General Miles' Intervention.
Philadelphia Times: There is per
haps, no country in the world where
war off! en secrets are less secret than in
the 1'nitod Slates. The recent revela
tions made in the senate by Senator
Culberson Is proof of thi3, and, when
the system in vogue in tiie war depart
ment is taken into consideration, there
seems little doubt but what Gen. Miles
knows nothing of the scheme whereby
secrets regarding certain affairs in the
Phiiipines were made public. One thing
which is more in rviiler.ee than any
thing else is the fact that President
Uoosevclt, Recrelnry of War Root and
Adjutant General Corhin did not want
to let thn public know anything of the
sea "i lis and cruelties practiced in tho
Philippines.
The case in point, is that of Lieuten
ant Arnold of I lie Fourth cavalry, who
charged by Private Weir and other
enlist'"! men, with extreme cruelty.
The victims were Filipinos. The pa
pers in the case were forwarded from
tiie Philippines, if the army regulation:-,
were carried out as prescribed,
(,eii"!-.'il ( ha flee, as commending gr:n-
er-.l of
he division of the Philippines,
should forward the papers to the ad
jutant gi-ner.-.l, perhaps they were pent
to the president or the secretary of war.
At any rate, they did reach the war do
part. Again, the re.ruhitions were obeyed,
the pap"rs were in tho hands of those
in charge of the o.'lie" of the secretary
of war or the edjnlant general's office.
It. is fair to presume, according to one
who has a knolewdrge of affairs in the
war department,, that the papers he
came a matter of record in the office of
the adjutant general.
All official papers which reach the
adjutant, general's office, through mili
tarv channels, or otherwise, are briefed.
Indexed by a card system and a record
card made out setting out briefly the
purport of the ens", together with true
copies of all action, letters, indorse
ments, etc. So carefully Is his record
card compiled tiiat the loss of all the
papers in the case would cause no in
convenienc0 so long as the card all are
consecutively numbered remained on
file. As a matter of fact, In many case3
the original papers are lost or returned.
and the only record the department has
Is this card.
The work of recording these cards
and making the cross indexes, as well
as recording action, letters, telegrams,
etc., Is done in what Is known as the
mail and record division of the adjut
ant general's office. Here, too, comes
all mail addressed to the adjutant gen
eral. For this reason It is fair to presume
that the papers in the Arnold case or
at least the card were on record in the
adjutant general's ofhee. Therefore,
every clerk In the mail and record di
vision, of which Charles M. Rrandt, a
civil war veteran, is chief, has access
to the history of the case. Clerks of
other divisions, to a limited number,
also could get the paers. make copies
and' never be discovered. Most of the
main clerks in the war department are
ex-soldiers, and many of them are very
improvident. It is a matter of record
that Washington, as well as newspa
pers of other cities, often get news not
Intended for the public, and It Is pre
sumed that Senator Culberson got his
Information in somewhat tho same
way.
It Is a very simple matter for a
clerk to give out information not in
tended for the public and yet be per
fectly safe from detection.
One way is for the clerks known as
"hrlfers," whose duty it Is to place on
the record card, above refrred to, to
make a copy of the charge taking, for
illustration, the Arnold case. This can
be done easily nnd without (lection. The
paper and card are then sent to he
stamped, giving another clerk, besides
the chief of the room, an opportunity
to make n copy of the capo, Thn pa
pers, before being filed, or otherwise
disposed of, then go to the division to
w hich they pertain or to one of the ad
jutant generals or to the sccrtary.
Clerks in these offices, or even the mes
sengers, have a chance to make copies.
At no time, however, does the paper get
to the lientenant general commanding
thn army, unless referred to him
through proper military channels.
It can bo seen that the system of rec
ords Is very simple, and that it is also
quite easy for secrets to leak out. A
former employe of the war department
said that clerks. In "talking shop," of
ten reveal secrets, although discussing
department matters outside of the office
Is expressly forbidden .
"It Is a simple matter," he said, "to
learn department secrets. . When I was
a clerk, I was only one of a hundred
or more who knew things that, the de
partment wanted kept quiet, and while
I never told any, I knew plenty who
did. So far as General Miles Is con
cerned, it would bo Impossible for him
to get any papers without a dozen pn
plo knowing It"
The subject of good roads Is now at
tracting considerable attention in New
Hampshire, and tho state board of
trade will devote to its consideration a
meeting to he held at North Rye beach
soon. Ex-Oovernor Wrest Rlllins and

TACT OF QTJEEH VICTORIA.
Orders Her Son, Edward, to Kneel at
Tomb at Napoleon.
A biography of Marshal Canrobert
has been publish ; recently ia Paris.
Not the least interesting part of the
work is that which refers to tho extra
ordinary popular de;nonstre:ion that
marked the state visit of the " late
Qit"en Victoria to the French capital.
When the English sovcrdgn with bor
consort and heir went to the Invalides
lo look upon the tomb of Napoleon the
scene was one which scerrs to have
greatly., .iniprfessitd-. -tiie. .mucsitalr..vho.
thus describes it:
"Everybody was profoundly moved.
Not a wprd was spoken. Each person
sluoii'gKziiig nl tiie coffin and was lust
In thought. Prime Albert was in fro"t
of me in the rod uniform of a field mar
shal, at his side stood the queen, and
standing beside her was the Prince of
Wales, dressed ia his Highland lO'uimi"
with his velvet coat, his purse of fur,
and the kilt: at the right was Princess
.Maihildc, whose features, so pure,
standing out in the light of torches, re
called so vividly hte features of her
uncle. After a moment's pause of re
flect ion, of absolute silence, the queen,
with an expression on her face of sever
ity, calmness, and meditation, turned
to the Prince of Wales, and placing her
hands on his shoulder said: 'Go down
on your knees before the tomb of the
great Napoleon.' It was a fine exhibi
tion of keen political tact, as well as
ol fine human feeling on the part of the
queen."

A CHMAHAN ON THE SACES.
Ambition of the "White to Excel, as
Compared With the Red, Brown
and Yellow.
Seattle Wash., Post-Intelligencer:
T-.o. Mercury, an evening newspaper
published at Shanghai, China, for $30
per year, payable quarterly in advance,
and dated 3d Moon. 9th Day. 2Sth Year
of H. I. M. K u.mg Hsu, or Wednesday,
April 1G. HI02, contains an interesting
article on the effects of the Anglo- Jap
anese treaty on eastern Asia, translat
ed from a native Chinese paper. The ar
ticle says:
"Civilization has advanced so much
tnat we now know that, all nations are
derived from one common ancestor.
'1 he varieties of race have been produc
ed by climate and location and relig
ion. Hut the white race is ambitious for
a paramount position over the red,
brown and yellow races. The latter
races have no such desire to rule over
the white. In fact, as the white rises,
tiie other colors sink under them."
The writer sorrowfully admits that
"the red. brown and yellow races are
slow in advancing and cannot keep up
to the white," ane, he asserts that there
are some foreigners who are not will
ing to make allowances for this and
have devised a theory out of the. seven
days of creation to the effect that tho
other races, exclusive of the white,
were merely transmogrified monkeys.
He insists that In the United States
they have another sort of doctrines to
the effect that man and birds are dif
ferent. The colored people are the birds
and man should use them as slaves and
inferiors." And he declares the Ameri
cans are today devising fresh exclusion
bills against Chinese workmen and
even against Japanese. In view of all
this, whaot becomes of the much-talked
of International law? Oh, it does not
apply to these matters, forsooth. Rut do
not be surprised. That precious inter
national law follows the power which
Is mightiest, aim is modified according
ly to suit circumstances.
After much more of this discussion,
amusing to us and earnest to him, he
declares. "If China does not quickly re
form, and Is swallowed up by other na
tions. It will come true that the white
race will actually rule the yellow race.
If this disgrace is to be averted It en
tirely depends on China herself."
The author then directs the attention
of his fellow-Chinese to Japan. "She,"
he savs, "has rapidly advanced in civ
ilization, so that she Is able to stand up
for her own rights ngn-inst the white
races. She boldly says that she also be
longs to the white race. She says that
there are red and yellow white races, to
which class she belongs, and therefore,
the western nations need not boast of
their white race. The Japanese will not
consent to be under their feet. Hence
the white race praise her with a cer
tain undertone of Jealousy."
Such outpourings prove that the lives
lost during the Boxer outbreak were
not sacrificed In vain; that China is
waking up.
BLASTING BY FROST.
Remarkable In quarrying was thn
feat recently accomplished at Rublslaw
Quarries, Aberdeen. A large stone had
been drilled ready for splitting, when
the thought struck the foreman thnt
(he severe frost vhlcti prevailed might
bo utilized.
Water was poured Into each of the
drill holes, and It was found after a
couple of days 1hat the block of granite
had completely burpt open. An idea of
tho immense power of thn frost will be
Ralhered when II Is staled thnt the
r.tone thus detached measures 12 feet
by five, and has a weiyht of about six
ton.
