Those who are not rushing west ward to save the wheat crop have sublime confidence that others will it. Chicago Baa a silent population of 1.000.000 in the cemeteries and a large number of married men who also have nothing to say. While industry is protesting against war it might profitably study its own mortality tables and prepare to give a less bloody report next time. "Marriages are not made in heaven," says a Seattle minister. And there axe earthly marriages made which turn out anything but heavenly. Now let the search lor Cupt. Kidd's treasure be abandoned and all hands more ever to the Yildia Kiosk grounds. Even with all its modern improve ments war cannot prove that it is keeping up with the times, when its m is tried by a peace congress. Germany i much alarmed over its financial situation. That is the cor rect answer to Its tremendous army and navy expenditures. At a recent book sale an edition of .Pee poems brought Jj 1.500. How wealthy the poets might be if they'd only all die! A scorching chauffeur got a fine of $100 aad a lecture thrown in. . lie could have bought a whole season of Chautauqua lectures for less money. No one will deny that Korea is making real progress when the em ployes of a street car line owned by Americans are indulging in a strike, American style.

Now that Spain faces a finan cial crisis through a drain by the war in Morocco, it most feel a pang that the rich field of Cuba is no longer at its disposal to draw upon. A Massachusetts woman left five times more to her canine pets than to her husband. She must have been some connection of the cynical lady who announced that the more she saw of men. the better she liked dogs. Now they are talking of "the Ameri can Peril" In Europe. There is not a more peaceful or peace-loving power In the world than this country, and its possibility as a "peril" exists only in the excited European imagination in whose minds the war scare is turning into a pauic Nearly 400 blooded sheep from King Edward's stock farm have been purchased by a Wisconsin breeder, and are now on the way west from Boston, where they were landed re cently. Wisconsin stock raisers have royal tastes, so far as fine strains of breeding re concerned, and some of the best cattle, sheep and hogs in the world are now to be found in that commonwealth. "The reversing of - Judgment by an appellate court tn the ground of a mere technicality when substantial Justice has been administered is an outrage." says Justice Brewer oT the supreme court of the United States, the highest legal authority in the world. This Is a confirmation of the public Ideal of law as the conservator and defender of Justice and of tech nicality as the form by which is pre ' served the spirit. Now Carlism. reviving, has added -Its claims to those of the revolution ists, socialists and republicans to tear unhappy Spain.

On the lawn in front of the porch she j had put her handsome new peach- J basket hat. trimmed with pretty ar tificial roses, which she had got from the store the night before. The gnat saw the hat and advanced joyfully to ward it. Miss Patty laughed. "The old thing thinks they're real roses, she laughed. "Won't she be fooled when she smells them?" Everybody sat still .to watch the goat smell the artificial flowers and walk away. But the goat fooled them. The next week Miss Patty bought another-bat. Philadelphia Times. PROVED BY TIME.

Xo band played, no royal salute was fired, no kingly message was sent when Albert of Belgium, heir presumptive to the Belgian throne, started last spring on his long voyage through the Congo. The band will play loudly when he returns, but there will be discord tn its sound. King Leopold allowed his nephew to start without a friendly message for the most sufficient of reasons. He had no friendly message to send him. . ! j Prince Albert of Belgium. The king knows that this journey through the Congo bodes no good to him. His consent to it was asked only as a matter of form. Prince Al bert, rich by inhertance from his father, endowed with a revenue by the Belgian parliament, owes little to. and knows he will get nothing from the king. When he returns from the Con go he will throw off all pretense of submitting to leading strings, follow a policy of his own, and, inevitably, will find himself at the head of a party hostile to the king. There may be no open scandal. The prince, surrounded by the atmosphere of the German courts, will break no rule of etiquette. In public he will be deferential to his sovereign. King Leopold, most acute of men, will be. in public, as loving to his nephew as ever. But war there will be. with or without scandal. Prince. Albert, while holding aloof from politics, already has done and said enough to show what his policy is. It is a policy op posite in all things to that of King Leopold.
