about having more money la their

with. Q
John Bull assembled" 301 war-
shops tor the surf fier war maneuvers,
Just to showny doubting Thomas, or
William, that he still ba9 the men and
the guns, and, by Jingo, the money,
too.
It's not-considered good form fyr
one politician meeting another at a
national convention to ask "where did
did you get It?" no matter how tar
from home he may be, or how hard
up he has been supposed to be.
Posslblyour readers have noticed
that the prayers' of the chaplains at
the national conventions are unusual
ly long and fervid. The preachers
seem to realize when their best ef
forts are required.
To come right down to brass tacks,
the octopus is the biggest game ever
hunted, In this or any other country.
And the sport is bo dangerous that
few mighty few dare do more than
make a bluff at engaging In It.
In .turning-on" tlp high-pressure
hot-air spigot, the 'steemed weather
man, If he Isn't 'steemed he ought to
be Is merely trying to keep up with
the pace set by the politicians.
Lots of folks woh'Fagree with the
Washington Herald, that John D.
Rockefeller has been "luckier than
most." He hasn't any hair, and very
little stomach.
Some politicians would move
mighty slow If they did not go ahead
until they knew they were right. Dit
to some men who are not politicians.
Albany 'papers are crowing over
the rapid increase of postal receipts
there, ' The past quarter they amount
to about half as much as Eugene's.
This is the season when the girl
on the bathing, beach Is the swellest

there to see.
