A titled Englishman seems to have
been first to suggest, in 1902, a mer
ger of American packing houses with
a capitalization of $923,000,000, a sum
about equal to the interest-bearing
debt of the United States. Going inio
trade is not considered good form
among the, British nobility, but on
this scale, and in another country,
might be regarded as excusable. Onu
of the American packers concerned
remarks that the "humor of the sug
gestion" appealed to him, but aftey
thinking it over he took it seriously
and called a meeting of large packers
to weigh the matter. Eventually It
fell through because the principles
of organization involved were already
applied by American promoters whose
sense of humor had been aroused, and
practically formulated, at an earlier
period.
No perceptible jar in the money
market occurred when the $923,000,
000 proposition was dropped. If it
had gone through, consumers would
have paid the dividends on a sum not
far from a billion dollars. How much
real money would have been put up
by the packers in shaping the scheme
is not stated. Probably a few millions
would have sufficed. The rest would
have been air, or water, or humor,
according to taste in phraseology.
The $923,000,000 is just about $10 for
every inhabitant of the United States.
But let it be borne hi mind that the
conception was never realized. 'It
was possibly abandoned for something
just as good, if not a little better, de
vised by indigenous genius for finance.
Government Must Be
Left In Hands of Men
They Have the
Force to Stand
Behind It and
Keep It Moving
illumy that women
should be not only al
lowed, but encouraged,
to have a voice in mu
nicipal affairs. . Education, so
cial reform, the domestic side of
government, the laws which
each town or each community
makes unto itself these are the
things in which women 'are
chiefly interested.
I wish with all my heart that
they would devote more time
and attention to such civic
work. I think it excellent for
them to study the men who are
candidates for office and use
their influence to bring about
the election of those whom they
judge fittest. But it is nonsense to talk of giving women parliamentary
suffrage without also giving them the right to hold office and for a
hundred reasons that would never dp..
GOVERNMENT MUST BE LEFT IN THE HANDS OF MEN BECAUSE
THEY HAVE THE FORCE TO STAND BEHIND IT AND KEEP IT GO
ING. THEY FIGHT THE WARS AND FALL. AND RISE AGAIN WIJH
BLOODY HEADS AND PRESS ON. WOMEN CANNOT DO TwiS.
If this idea is erroneous the trial at
Chicago will bring the disproof.
The controversy over the W. Mor
gan Shuster incident may not lead to
war, but the Persians may get mad
and refuse to sell us any more Persian
rugs.
How times have changed! Mis
souri Democrats are trying to pick out
a Presidential candidate who they
think would have a chance to carry
that state.
California has more faith in spray
ing and smudging than in phases or
the moon, and the growth of its fruit
industries indicates that it is on the
right track.
Russia -is extending its- power in
Mongolia as well as Persia, but noth
ing is to be expected there that will
suggest the treatment of Cuba by the
United States.
Senator La Follette declares for
woman suffrage. When a new man is
out for votes, naturally this attitude
toward the new woman might be
taken for granted.

"THE WORST BOY
He was the "worst boy in town."
One day this boy and others engag
ed in a 'sort of expedition along the
river bank. As they passed the bridge
the forlorn "meow" of a cat was pro
longed into a cry that was almost hu
man. It was a plea for help.
The gang paused. Over on one of
the low stoue piers upon which the
bridge was built was a lone pussy
sending up its Macedonian cry to
come over and help.
The poor thing had climbed down
the skeleton steel plates to the pier
and did not have sense enough to
climb back the same way. Marooned,
it sent up its wail.
The piteous plea got under the rag
ged jacket of the worst boy. Though
he knew the water was cold, he be
gan to take off his sjioes and stock
ings. "Aw, Bill," said one, "it's only a cat.
It'll get off all right. Let it go."
"Shut your mouth," responded Bill.
"I'm doin' this, and I know what I'm
doin',. and don't you forget it."
The worst boy waded in and got the
cat, which foolish pussy, in terror lest
it be thrown into the water, yowled
and scratched unmercifully.
"Throw it in the water. Bill. All
cats can swim."
Halfway out the" worst boy stopped,
bent a fixed and ominous look on the
speaker that caused a sudden silence
and then waded out with the cat.
Which proves what?
It proves what Dickens said that
there is a way, though it may be up a
winding stair, to every human heart.
The worst boy had the biggest heart,
and the cat found a way to it.
Do you wonder Garfield said he al
ways felt like taking off his hat to a
boy of the streets because of the possi
bilities under the ragged jacket?
Garfield also said that
Our society is not like the society of
Europe, which is like the strata of the
earth each layer holding down the
one beneath it but is like the waves
of the sea. where "the lowest drop may
rise and glisten on the topmost wave."
Many a "worst boy in town" has
risen from the depths to distinction.
A Sure Thing.
'T have often predicted that my
wife's hair would be nice and curly at
night." said the clover one.

the morning papers." -New York MaiL

Photos by American Press Association.
MYSTERIOUS piece of vandalism
A
large painting. "The Battle of Lake Erie." which is hung in the capi
tal at Washington. The picture, which is 35 by 25 feet, represents
Commodore Perry in the midst of the battle leaving the disabled flag
ship Lawrence to transfer his flag to the Niagara. It was painted by W. ti
Powell in 18t!5 by order of congress and cost $25,000. It has beeu one of the
most popular works of art in the capitol, and public interest in it has increased
since its mysterious mutilation. The cut in the canvas, which is shown in the
lower photograph, was apparently made with the intention of cutting out the
painter's, signature. Opinion is divided as to whether the act was that t a
discharged employee, a lunatic or of some one angered over the abrogation .
the Russian treaty.

Holder of Pool Title Says Champion
ship Tourney Will Be Held.
Alfredo De Oro, the holder of the
pool, or, as it is to be known in the
future, pocket billiards, championship,
Is authority for the statement that
there is to be a championship tourna
ment at this style of game in Iew
York this season. This expert at the
game, who has won the title and de
fended it oftener than all of the other
players put together, said that he was
desirous that the proposed tournament

should be held. Arrangements to this
end were now going forward, and he
expected that it would be possible to
announce the date for the champion
ship in the near future.
The original plan was to "hold the
pocket billiard championship for a new
trophy emblem some time this month,
but the untoward conditions that pre
vailed and De Oro's engagements have
put it off until February or March.
Six other contestants besides the
champion appear probable, and De
Oro named Jerome Keogh, Thomas
Hueston, Clearwater, Weston, Johnny
Kling and Allen as those most likely
to take part In - the series. He said
that there was a tremendous efforl
being made throughout the country to
put the game of pocket billiards upon
a better basis and that the champion
ship in prospect was a part of the
campaign that had been mapped out
so as to bring this result about.
0'TOOLE WORRYING DREYFUSS
Pittsburgh's $22,500 Pitcher Having
. Trouble With His Salary Arm.
Barney Dreyfuss is very much wol
riecF over the condition of Marty
O'Toole. the famous $22,500 pitcher
who joined the Pirates the latter pari
of last season. After three games
O'Toole's arm went bad. and he was
unmercifully trimmed by the Giants
Two years ago O'Toole was 'stricken
with rheumatism, but kept on pitching
while under treatment. This caused
his muscles to become more strained,
and his arm is in a bad way.
Dr Harry Daniels is of the opinion
that these muscles will never reach
their normal state, but he says this
ought not to prevent him from pitch
ing fairly good ball next season.

A Fungus That Grows
Over an Inch a Minute.

David Fairchild. M. Sc.. in charge of
the department of foreign seed and
plant introduction, department of ag
riculture. writes' in regard to the ac
companying picture:
- "This mushroom, the dictyophora.
or 'net bearer.' grows in the jungles of
Java, where it frequently attains a
height of six or eight inches. 1 tried
to photograph it by time exposure, but
failed, for the reason that it grew so
rapidly during the exposure that the
outlines were blurred on the plate.
The accompanying photograph was ac
cordingly taken by 'quick exposure.' al
most a snapshot."
This statement was sent to Profes
sor Charles H. Peck, Albany. N. V..
an expert on fungous growths.' and he
replies:
"The inquiry concerning the rapidity
of development of the phalloid fungus
figured therein is a perfectly natural
one, for this marvelous growth seems
at first thought too great to be credi
ble. Nevertheless these fungi grow
very rapidly when they have begun
to elongate their stems. In Mr. C, G.
Lloyd's Mycologist I Notes he illus
trates photographically the develop
ment of Phallus- aurantiacus. which in
one minute lengthened its stem from
six lines to twenty -one lines. .The ac
tual increase in length was fifteen
lines, or one and one-quarter inches,
in one minute. This is not the same
species as that called 'the dictyopho
ra' in your example, but it is a confir
mation of the probable correctness of
the surprising statement made by Dr
Fairehild."-St. Nicholas. -
Game of Trades.
A jolly little game x'or children to
participate in of evenings after study
hour is called "the trades" and is
played in the following manner:
Each participant chooses a trade
which he exercises in accordance with
the style of the trade. The shoemaker
mends shoes, the carpenter saws
boards, the painter paiuts a portrait,
the laundress washes linen in a tub.
the cook stirs a cake, the locksmith
hammers a lock, and the spinner turns
a wheel.
One of the party is chosen as leader
Then all get into a circle, either sit
ting or standing, and begin exercising
according to their individual vocations.
When the leader tires of his or her
trade he or she quickly takes up that
of the boy or girl seated to the right,
and instantly all' leave off their own
trade and begin imitating th: move
ments of the right hand neighbor.
This throws the leadership to the play
er seated at the Original leader's left,
who takes up the trade abandoned by
the first leader. If one of the players
makes a mistake he must pay a forfeit

Instincts That Lead to Death.
Professor Mivart proved that there
are "Instincts" that lead to death by
failing to adapt themselves to a
change of circumstances. Migratory
quail by thousands perish in the des
erts of northern Africa, where their
ancestors used to find a comfortable
winter resort, abounding with forests
and even with grain fields, if we shall
credit Pliny's account of the Numidian
coast lands. The forests are gone, but
myriads of quail still follow in the
same route at the risk of starvation.

favor as the date of the convention, it
being one week after the Republicans
gather in Chicago.
When Mr. Bryan began his fight
the doors were closed and remained
so throughout the day. In the course
of the arguments Colonel Guffey hurr
ed the lie at Representative A. Mitch--ell
Palmer of Pennsylvania, who was
contesting for the seat. Later the
Colonel apologized and Mr. Palmer,
for his part, said that although he
had been thrown out of the commit
tee, it would not affect his loyalty to
the party.
Mr. Palmer previously proclaimed
that if it were not for Colonel Guffey's
