The philosopher of the Atlanta Con stitution says that “men like widows because they pretend not to know a lot of what they really do know." Madame Paderewski paid $7,500 for four chickens. This seems like reckless extravagant'« until we reflect how easily her husband make« that amount.

The first Hindu temple In the Western work! -was recently dedi cated in San Francisco. “The excessive talker," declared h London clergyman, "is a human vam pire who saps the vitality of those about him.” Bat he meant “her" but didn't dare say it because his w ife was In the room. We are delighted to see that Miss Jean Reid’s flaiu-e “attends the king and queen at all state and social af fairs.” Any man with a vigorous ag gressive life work like that ought to be a great and constant Joy to any Ameri can girl. “Cuba libre" has long been a war cry and watchword. A new kind of “Cuba libre” Is reported by Governor Magoon, who declures. after a careful investigation, that the island has not a single case of yellow fever. That is a better kind of “free Cuba” than even Its liberators dreamed of. “The flag of the American frigate fhesa|teake, taken by II. M. 8. Shannon June 1, 1813, which was recently sold at auction in this city, has been pre sented to the Royal United Service Mu seum by William Waldorf Astor.”— Lon- don dispatch. It is an unpleasant lit tle episode that one of the few Ameri can battle flags ever captured by Great Britain should be thus prevented by an American from returning to America. Kven an expatriate might wish to pre vent Its permanent exhibition in an English museum. Appeal to authority may be so slavish or so trivial as to dishonor the author ity and make the appellant ridiculous. Did Lincoln approve of reducing the tarlft on wool, and If wood pulp had been In use In hls day, what would he have thought of the turiff on that? What was I'aul Jones’ view of the need of an American naval station In the YappI Yappl Islands? Would Thomas JelTerson have sanctioned a course In Celtic in an American university? What would Jackson have thought of the Aldrich currency bill? These ques tions are no more absurd than many which are seriously discussed in Jour nals and assembly halls. Great men are great precisely t»ecause they act In obedience to principles which are too deep and broad to bind the answers to specific questions which arise In after times. Now that a hotel at Fort Wayne, lnd„ has burned down with much loss of life the discovery Is made thMt it was a flretrap. There Is no reason why the discovery should not have been made before the fire and the building have been made less of a flretrap. It was erected over fifty years ago and naturally did not measure up to mod ern standards of safe construction.
