""" 'Amending His Constitution.
A well known attorney of heavy
build and pompous to a degree that
frequently reaches the state of being
overbearing was leaving his ofliee in
a Broad street building the other day.
With his high hat on aud carrying a
walking stick, he had stepped upon the
sidewalk when he slipped and lauded
flat upon the pavement with a thud
that shocked him as well as caused
embarrassment.
Just then another :ittorue3 who en
Joys an equal distinction iu the legal
world passed and laughed at the fallen
lawyer. When the latter was trying
to get up he remarked to the other:
"I guess 1 am getting old.. Sly con
stitution will not stand what it did
years ago."
As he arose to his feet his friend
facetiously remarked, "Well, then,
Dick, you ought to get an amendment
to your constitution."
Looking at his friend with a cold
stare, as cold as the ice he had fallen
upon, he asked:
"Well, what kind of an amendment
would you suggest, if you know so
mucuV"
"I don't know exactly," was the re
ply. "I don't give advice to my clients
without some kind of a retainer, but
as you are an old friend of mine I
would suggest a cushion or a mat
tress." Sliuneapolis Journal.
Salt Water Cataracts.
There are a good many salt water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiords,
or arms of the sea, are obstructed by
barriers of rock. The rising tide Hows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until it breaks over the obstruction in
an Irresistible torrent. Slost curious
of all is the waterfall at Cauoe Pas
sage, where the island of Vancouver
approaches the Britisli Columbia main
land. Here the flood tide from the
gulf of Georgia to the southward is
held back at a narrow cleft between
two Islands until it pours over in a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume of the
tEnlne. At the turn of the tide, how
ever, the waters from the north rush
'back Into the gulf, producing a cas
cade of equal height and volume. The
waterfall actually flows both ways.

The country schoolteacher had been

"Yes'in," he answered promptly.
"I'm glad to hear it. Now. can you

Sending a Man to Coventry.
The expression "sending to Coven

so it is said, in the days of Charles
h, when the inhabitants of Coventry
strongly objected to any intercourse'
with the military quartered in their
town, aud a woman known to speak
to a man iu a scarlet cloak was at once
the subject of scandal. So rigid were
the natives that the soldier was con
fined to the mess room for conversa
tion. Thus the term "sending a man Jo
Coventry" if you wished to shut hi.::
from society took root in the Kuglish
language. London Chronicle.

SOLID SOUTH
S WAVERING
lew Orleans Opposed as Pan
ama Exposition City.
TEXAS FAVORS SAN FRANCISCO
Decided Falling Off In Enthusiast la
Lone Star State as Evidenced by
Articles Appearing In Papers of
Ei Paso and San Antonio Swing
In Line For the California City as
the Logical Sits.
While New Orleans Is Industrious
ly claiming the ondorsement af the
Mississippi valley region and the
middle west it is allowing tae "solid
south" to waver in its supposed si
legiancc and slip away.
A few days ago word cam from
San Antonio, Tex., that there was a
decided falling off of Xew Orleans
exposition enthusiasts In that city
owinu to the greed of the Crescent
City iu attempting to secure the Na
tional Bankers' convention for next
year, after San Antonio had put in a
bid for their entertainment. Such
action was not considered neighborly,
especially after the Texas city had
been asked to support New Orleans
in its struggle for exposition honors.
Now El Paso, Tex., has apparently
swung into line for San. Francisco
as against New Orleans as the log
ical site for -the Panama exposition.
Judging by the following in the El
Puo Herald of Oct 12:
"EI Paeo's Interest as to the loca
tion of tho Panama exposition of 1915
all lies with San Francisco as against
New Orleans. As one commentator
says: 'There never was an exposi
tion so successful as that at Seattle,
and there never was oao so forlorn
a failure as that at Jamestown, Va.,
notwithstanding the fact that half
the population of the country is with
in a day's or a night's ride of James
town. An exposition ct San Fran
cisco will promote the development of
the west and that is what we are
after."
Sometime r.go New Orleans secured
an endorsement in St. Louis and that
access appears to have induced the
belief ameng tho Crescent City boost
ers that the entire middle west was
ply waiting for an Invitation to
climb on the New Orleans band
wagon.
Next New Orleans announced that
Omaha was for it, but the announce
ment was premature. In its hurry
to report result the New Orleans bu
reau at Omaha sent broadcast over
fee country that New Orleans had
been endorsed as the exposition city
by the Commercial club, the largest
and most influential organisation of
business men there.
Immediately the Commercial club
held a n:ee:injj, repudiated the alleg
ed endorsement of New Orleans and
endorsed San Francisco by an over
Wheiihlns vote. The city council of
Omaha, by unanimous vote, passed a
resolution also endorsing San Fran
cisco. Still asserting title to the sympathy
end influence of the entire middle
west section, the New Orleans boost
ers descended upon Chicago and re
uesteS an endorsement. The re
quest was politely but firmly refused,
but New Orlc.-.ns. nothing daunted,
continued to "claim" Chicago's sup
port, ceniident in the belief that the
endorsement would ccme later. But
on Oct. 7 Chicago showed unmistak
ably where she stood in the exposi
tion fight when the National Business
League of America adopted a. resolu
tion, which after setting forth the ad
vantages of San Francisco, conclud
ed, "That Sau Francisco be, and
hereby is, strongly recommended as
the proper site for the proposed ex
positicn." New Orltans suffered another re
buff when she sought the endorse
ment of Washington, D. C. Washing
ton refused, whereupon the New Or
leans promoters dismissed the sub
ject with the remark that Washing
ton did net count anyway.
New Orleans "hopes" to raise about
$8,000,000 fcr her proposed exposi
tion, which will be entirely inade
quate for so great an undertaking,
rot Senator Foster of Louisiana
seeks to minimize the Importance of
having sufficient funds to insure the
success of the enterprise. Admitting
that San Fraaeisco will have more
than twice as much money for expo
sition purposes as New Orleans, he
pleads thet "it would be mean and
infair for congress to take that fact
into consideration."
California Solid For Exposition.
Supporters of San Francisco's claim
to the Panama exposition in 1915 are
confident that an overwhelming dis
play of exposition funds will win gov
ernment recognition to the fair It is
proposed to hold on the Pacific coast
K California is as solidly united on
this project as the utterances of Cali
fornia editors would indicate the rep
resentaties of that state will appear
b6foro congress this winter with a
fund' of $17,500,000 raised through
private subscription, city bends and
a state tax.
It may be that New Orleans will
make some announcement of a heavy
raise at the last moment, but the Pa
cific coast is disposed to believe that
its showing will overshadow anything
New Orleans can do in tho way of
furnishing the sinews of war and ex
position. BJsbeeJAri;)Mlner.

maker were pre-eminent. When he
returned he jut poked his head into
the drawing room and said, with a
sigh of relief. -That old cat's gone. 1
suppose?"
For an instant there was a profound
silence, for as he uttered the last word
he encountered the stony stare of the
lady who had been in his mind. Thea
his wife came to the rescue.
"Oh. yes. dear." she said. "I sent it
to the cats' home iu n basket this
moraine."

"Now it is becoming alarmingly fre

life people lead and to the complex
conditions of modern existence. Very
often parents are too ambitious for

to them so work on the nervous tem

bring on a derangement of the mental

STRONG RESOLUTION ADOPTED
Action of National Business League
f America In Support of the Cali
fornia City as the Most Desirable
Plaoe to Celebrate the Completion
f the Panama Canal Bound to
Exert a Wiae Influence.
Tho business men of Chicago are
far San Francisco as the meet desir
able site for the exposition to cele
brate the completion of the Panama
canal in 1915. The National Business
League of America, on Oct. 7, adopt
ed a resolution endorsing San Fran
cisco and this action by such an in
fluential body of representative busi
ness men hi bound to exert wide In
fluence throughout the middle west
and the east.
This endorsement, following close
ly on the failure of New Orleans to
secure a Chicago endorsement is par
ticularly pleasing to Scat Francisco.
The resolution follows:
"Whereas, The Panama canal will,
when completed, unite the waters of
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and
create new opportunities for the ad
vancement of American commerce;
and,
"Whereas, The citizens of San
Francisco, in the state of California.
Ynlted States of America, have pub
licly declared their intention of hold
ing an international exposition in the
.year 1915, under the title 'The Panama-Pacific
International Exposition,'
to fittingly celebrate the completion
f the Panama canal; and.
"Whereas. The. Pacific coast has an
equable and healthful climate, and
San Francisco has every modern fa
cility for the comfort and entertain
ment of a large concourse of people,
with ample opportunities for side
trips to other coast cities: and,
"Whereas. By any route, a pilgrim
age to the Pacific coast would be
through scenes of beauty and gran
deur unrivaled in any other part of
the world, the trip to the exposition
should be made, at least cue way, by
a route through the Panama canal,
ft order that visitors and the world
at large may become familiar with
that wonderful achievement; there
fore, be it
"Resolved By the Board of Direc
tors of the National Business League
of America, that San Francisco be.
and hereby is, strongly recommended
as the proper site for the proposed
cxfecitlon; and the board further
recommend3 that a line of commodi
ous passenger steamers be establish
ed to ply to and fro, through the
canal, between the Atlantic coast
cities and cities of the Pacific coast,
primarily for the purpose of enabling
visitors to the exposition to inspect
acid canal."

tie Exposition.
W. B. Knickerbocker, a prominent
manufacturer of Detroit. Mich., is an
enthusiastic booster for San Fran
cisco in the fight for congressional
approval of its proposed Panama-Pacific
exposition.
"I believe that If the members of
congress could be brought out to Cal
ifornia and given a glinipso of things
as they exist here they would vote
solidly for San Francisco when the
exposition matter comes before them
next December," said Mr. Knicker
bocker. "It Is a human instinct to move
westward, and the great movement
toward western America is just now
beginning. This is a great, marvel
ous, new country, of which we in the
east know next to nothing.
"There is no travel south. The ex
position belongs here where the peo
ple are coming. They will come to
the exposition through the canal and
faem go back through this marvelous
western country. Many, however,
impressed by the marvelous re
sources of California, will remain
kare for good. This scenery, the
mountains, the forests and all the
rest of it hi not approached by any
thing in- Europe. Thousands of peo
ple who now go to Europe would
rather some here if they knew what
la here. They are beginning to learn.
The exposition will do wonders for
the west. The interest of the coun
try at large demands that the expo
sition be held here."
