In spite of the seriousness of some of the runs ways recently,' the stren uous persistency with which they are occurring has an amusing aspect. There have been about ten of them within almost as many days. Among the latest- an'd the lisss serious, were the following: Last Monday the team owned by M. , H. Ogan- living on the Imnaha road, ran. away In Enterprise while hauling a wagon load of lumber. No one was.: hurt. The team ran into an- electric polo near the residence of B. B. Boyd, cutting the pole off squarely. In some way. the pole caught and held the wheels of tiie wagon-, thus scopping ' the team.

The report 19 that the Iright ned animals strung the wagon, out n sections pretty, much over that jcbool district.

There are few things more amusing tbi:n to watch a toad submitting to the operations of a back scratching. He will at first look somewhat suspicious ly at the twig which you are advanc ing toward him. but after two or three passes down his buck his manner un dergoes a ' marked change, his eyes close with an expression of Infinite rapture, he plants his feet wider apart and his body swells out to nearly dou ble Its ordinary size, as If to obtain by these means more room for enjoy ment Thus he will remain until you make some sudden movement which startles him or until be has bad as much petting as he wants, when, with a puff of regretful delight he will re duce himself to bis usual dimensions and bop away, bent once more on the pleasures of the chase.

For a moment the United States possesses the largest murder machine In the world. It will not hold this; advanced position- long. A half doz en other nations are straining to . build bigger and more perfect Instru ments for man-killing. I Today, however, the palm rests j wMh the United States. When the I Florida is completed she will be able o hunt more murderous projectiles and destroy mora property tn a min ute than-any other piece of mechan Ura on earth. Her construction Is a measure of the progress that has. been made In constructing these kistrumnets of de struction. We are told that with every broadside she wild hurl more tons of metal than Deweys whole fleet could throw when he sailed In to Manila bay in 1898. . K, - . That was twelve yearo ago, and every ship in Dewey'a fleet to now o much Junk. A ship which can be whipped is Junk. A ship which, can not injure another vessel la worse than Junk. Every increase In the size of ships, every improvement In armor or armament, makes Junk out of all previous niaterlal. " The Florida created a lot of Junk. The workers of the United. State are paying for that Junk. They are paying for the ships that make. Junk jf the over vessels. . ... , ... Suppose the money that haa been invested in a navy were used In the building of big, beautiful, safe excur sion steamers to sail out of the har bors of the great cities on the ocean and the Inland lakes. It would be possible to take every -sick child and every worn-out mother for a good, long vacation, trip that would save thousands, of lives each year. We believe that would be a better way to spend the money. Criminal Waste. ' Comrade Alburn's article on the batttle-shlp Florida certainly contains abundant food for thought. Still to my mind, he has only touched ,on the horrible waste Involved fci the con struction of such a murder machine.

She will carry a crew of some what over 900. men.. These men are Irawn from the youny, vigorous) men f the country. . Each of these men, with the Improved machinery and wonderful facilities for production that we now have, is worth, at a low astlmate, fifteen hundred dollars In productive power per year; $1,350,000 or, for the ten years that it will take this mass, of metal to work Its way tc the Junk pile, $13,500,000.; . ... Let us take the coat of the vessel and go. to the slums- of Chicago, clean out 12,000 of the foul disease-breeding hovels, in which- the wealth-producer of our nation are condemned to live, purchase the material for that many clean, beautlfu I cottages' : and set these 900 men at work building them. Would ' it not transform your city from a hell into an earthly paradise? We are using up our coal at a rate that will exhaust our supply in a period variously estimated at from 300 to 500 years.- After a while we shall probably send this great vessel round the world to show oth er nations what wonderful people tor .what big foolsi) we are. In that voyage we shall use up enough coal to run a dozen ordinary factories a whole, year. , . , hen they will anchor off soms rocky bluff and have some little ar tillary practice for amusement.- Ev- . ery time they shoot one of those big guns they, will shoot away the value of a Buall farm or a good cottage home for a worker. , . And perhaps worse .than all else, these men who are Imprisoned on this useless tub for five years or so, will be so demoralized1 by Idleness) as to unfit them for any active service in the industrial field for their nat ural Uvea. Besides, ail, their intellec tual, all their Inventive power will be .lost to the country., , Truly, we are a set. of idlotio lulus to permit such, a system. In. a thou sand years tbe people then on earth will look upon, us about as ,we loot upon the savage that 'lay to wait with his club to knock hlsi fellow be ing on the head, and put him In the soup kettle.
