THE jnBW AGE, PORTIiA.ND. OREGON.

TOPICS OF
THE. TIMES.
Denver hns enacted a new and liberal
boxing ordinance, and still the women
rote there.
While tolerated by law virtually n
.comer In egf,'n Is mo more honest than
any other shell game.
Not that slang Is to bo encouraged,
but that man might bo called a lobster
who wlisn he faces trouble backs Away
from It
Tho former telephone girl who hns
returned from tho Klondike with $400,
000 will And plenty of peoplo eager to
say "Hullo!" to her.
The American Federation of Labor
declines to tackle tho servant girl ques
tion, thereby showing a proper appre
ciation 6f Its own strength. No slnglo
organisation can haudlu the subject
Tcrradt'lphla, tho Utopia for tramps
In Trenton, N. J., was foredoomed to
failure. Tho scheme of Tom Terradel
to found; a self-supporting Institution
for those who will not support them
wives was but a dream from which ho
bus at last awakened.
What stands In the way of a French
Invasion of England would bo tho dead
ly flro of the British warships upon a
licet of vessels transporting hostile
troops, oven under tho escort of men-o'-war.
It would Involvo panic and
laughter of tho most torrlblo descrip
tion. Ono heavily armed warship dash
ing through a fleet of transports would
bo awful.
It la not absolutely necessary to tho
suppression of hazing that tho cadets
who hazed tho young I'ennsylvanlnn
should be discovered and punished. Tho
practice Itself should bo stopped right
now, whether those boys arc reached or
not It Is not necessary to tho maklug
of good soldiers. Indeed, men of tho
true soldierly spirit are not given to tho
torturing of the helpless. A fulr light
In tho open Is more to their liking In tho
lino of rough play,
Ono of tho curious facts revealed by
the consus for 1000 Is that for the first
tltuo since 1700 Has the center of popu
lation not only ceased to move west
ward but actually Iiuh receded a little,
and Is now on tho Miami Itlvcr, Just
north of Cincinnati and a short distance
cost of where It was ten years ago.
This It generally ascribed to the greater
Increase of city population as compared
with that of tho country. Whatever tho
rtasofi, however, Ohio l again tho
llvjtal Btato o to population, and tho
"fiHckeye Is ready, as nml, to sit down
on the pivot and gather In' tho ofllces as
they coiuo along.
There aro certain families In this
country tho members of which deem
public otllco their own prescriptive and
picullnr right. Having had fathers and
grandfathers In olllce, they feel that
otnce-holdlng Is their Inalienable privi
lege. Hence Undo Moorgo Is u Federal
Judge, Uncle Tom Is a Commissioner to
Itevlso the Fish Laws, tiriuulfntlior Is
Consul to Tlmbuctoo, and Aunt Jane Is
his clerk. Wllllo and Hurry and John,
having grown too big for Keiiuto'rlul
pages, will bo put Romuwhvro In tho
Treasury Department. Tho national
government Is especially Infected with
generation nftcr generation of theso
parasites. Tho wily power equal to n
suppression of tho plague Is Congress.
And Congress, spreads It.
1 A Chicago doctor who wsnta to pose
rs a health faddist snys that "exercise
Isdetrlmoutalfor men past middle life."
This Is really a wonderful discovery
If true. Kxenise Is merely tho use of
the muscular system. Whatever bono
Ikinl effects It has consist In tho stim
ulation of tho circulation of tho blood
and tho consequent consumption of
wnstu nuil renewal of tissue In the
muscles nud orgaiiH. It also, If It be
of tho proper kind, keeps tho muscles
flexible and tho Joints In good condi
tion. If a man past middle life ought
not to exercise he ought not to uso his
muscles. Nor ought ho to think, bo
emiso thinking exercises his brain, and
that might be detrimental; In fact, he
ought not to breathe, for that Is exer
cising his lungs, nud he ought to give
all bis organs a completu rest. If our
Chicago man la right tho man past
middle ngo ought not to live It may be
detrimental. Tho mummy seems to bo
the Ideal mnn-pnst-mlddle-lire, accord
ing to tho uo-excrcl8e-past-mhldle-l!fo
fuddlst.
F.very once In a while u man, disgust
ed with the buttles over the dollars left
by dead men, decides to dlsposu of his
property during his lifetime. Ho wants
to bo a iKiiicfactor, to mako glad those
who need tho wealth ho ioa.e8sea, to
bestow charity and feel the good of giv
ing, Tho world doesn't seem ripe for
that kind of philanthropy, Mauy luivo
tiled It and died, poor and neglected.
Tho man who has roblcd himself to
heuellt others Isn't always sure of kind
ness and consideration, more's the pity,
Alexander Jackson, 7ft, of Camden,
Del., allowed tho fact to become public
that ho proposed to distribute his
wealth during life. To-dny he Is dls
gustcd with humanity. He Is making
enemies where ho hoped to do ouly
good. Ho has been cajoled and threat
ened, he gets begglug letters by the
wagon load, and tho most of them com
from peoplo who care nothing for Altx
sudor Jricksou, Tho smell of money at
tracted a horde of vultures, who an
wady fe fight for apolt Mr. Jacksoa
made a mistake. He admits It Nearly
every other man who has tried this1
particular brand of phllanthorpy can
consistently say, "I told you so."
1
Not long ogo we had a "rainy Satur
day," much to the grief of fit thoso
retail merchants whose trade comes
largely from tho families of wage earn
ers and salaried men. It Is a peculiar
fact which every merchant lias no
ticed, that when dlsagreeablo weather
ruins the trade of one Saturday, the av
erago trado of the month will not mako
up the loss. The hole thus made In his
profits Is never filled up, nnd there has
been much speculation as to why this Is
true, especially In such lines of trade ns
shoes and ready-niado clothing, among
the commonest necessaries of life. Tho
real explanation lies In the fact that a
very large percentage of tho purchases
of tho American peoplo aro In excess
of their actual nectssltlcs. The aver
age American has more than one suit of
clothing and inoro than ono pair of
shoes. When nn Intended purchnso Is
passed over on account of bad weather
or somo other accident the chances are
that some other article a luxury per
hapswill absorb tho money before an
other opportunity for making the pur
chase turns up. It may further bo said,
with truth, thnt a very large percentage
of the purchases even of thoso of peo
ple of very small means are made on
the Impulso of the moment or of tho
hour. Tho purchaser sees something
nnd buys It Tho need for It may have
been inoro or less felt but In nH prob
ability It was not pressing, and he
might not have thought again of buy
ing It had he not seen It. This Impul
siveness Is peculiarly true of the pur
chases made by women nnd they nre
tho ones that do tho great bulk of tho
retail buying. The American people
aro already the most luxurious tho
world lias known, nnd If there shall bo
no great check to our national accumu
lation of wealth, thero Is no predicting
to what lengths tho love of luxury may
go. In our travel we crowd the palace
cars and aro willing to pay any kind
of prices, 'but Insist that every luxury
that can bo conceived by tho lugem-lty
of man shall bo at our command. Tho
marl tl mo world knows nothing to equal
tho luxurious appointments of tho At
lantic liner, and It Is made to meet tho
'American, not tho European, demand.
Our hotels surpass anything tho world
has known In the trappings nnd con
veniences of luxury and In prices.
People pny the prices without a mur
mur, but, If they cannot have hot baths
and velvet carpets, their objections are
loud and long. Men And It profitable to
erect enormous caravansaries In out-of-the
wny places and lit them up as no
royal palace abroad Is fitted, and keep
them open but a few mouths In the
year, because Americans will pay tho
dizziest prices for a few weeks of "rest"
In them. From bottom to top and back
ugaln, the extravagance of Americans
nsja people Is tho jvonder of tho world.
Ills Master's Holier ltequeat.
Tho policeman had given his testi
mony, which was unqualifiedly to the
fact of the old gentleman's Intoxication.
Then tho oid servant was called to tho
wltncBs box, Thero was a mingled ex
pression of Indignation nnd determina
tion on his countenance. He tested
flatly, to tho surprise of tho court, that
tho old man was sober when ho came
home. Tho magistrate proceeded to
question tho witness:
"You say that Mr. - was sober
when he camo homo?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did ho get to 'lied alone?"
"No, sir,"
"Did you put him to bed?"
"Yes, sir."
"And ho wns perfectly sober?"
"Yes, sir."
"What did ho say when you put him
to bed?"
"Ho said, 'Good night.' "
"Anything else?"
"Yes, sir."
"What was It? Tell us exactly what
ho said, overy word."
"Ho said as how I wns to wako him
and call him early, for ho was to be the
queen of tho May."
Tho old mau was fined, Tho King.

"Very well. I'll como up and hives-

"I don't know much about Insur.

"Certainly."
"And they don't ask who ot It afire T"
