'Twlxt Optimist and Pessimist the difference Is clear
The first one thinks that life's a smile, the other one a tear.
One thinks that life Ib wholly day, the other wholly "night.
And it's plain to men of sense that nelthor one is right.
For me, as I regard my days and contemplate my crop
Of cares and blesBings, I'm Inclined to be a Pesalmop!
John Kendrlck Bangs.
It is a fact not generally known that the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia bear the most of the expenses of the presiden
tial inauguration, but there is a growing feeling throughout the
country, according to the Des Moines Capital, that the federal
government should bear this burden. A presidential inaugura
tion can certainly not be looked upon as a purely local affair.
True, the hotel, ' restaurant and shopkeepers may derive the
largest material benefit from the function, but all that is mere
ly incidental to the event in itself. Even the District of Colum
bia is regulated by congress and is the capital of all the American
people. The president is the chief executive of the whole United
States. We think, therefore, that no murmur of disapproval
would be heard if the movement contemplated by Representative
Boutell of Illinois to shift this obligation from the district to the
nation should materialize.
Like every other thinking man in the nation, President-elect
Taft recognizes that it is time the tariff laws of the country
were amended- It is time that some of our "infant industries,"
which have long since outgrown their svaddling clothes, and
have become veritable giants in strength and stature, should be
left to their own resources and compelled to battle on an even
plane with tho world's commerce. The people have some rights
and these, it seems, are to be recognized by Mr. Taft and the
administration which will go into power on the 4th of next
trust, the steel trust and a hundred others that might be named
which should be taken from the nursery and no longer recog
nized as incapables. Let the people, the consumers, have a
chance for their lives for a brief period.
The Japanese may. be experts along all mechanical lines,
and perhaps they possess all the valor attributed to them in
war, but they have been completely vanquished by Mike Fisher's
baseball aggregation of all-star twirlers, who are over in the
land of the Mikado for a winter's engagement. 'Big Bill Burns,
of the Standard Oil town of Richmond, shut out the team of the
little brown men the other day, and strive as they might they
were unable to hit the popular southpaw's swift balls. But
they are new at the game, and it will not be surprising if there
are vast improvements in the Japanese team before tho end of
the season, for the Nipponeseare not accustomed to being the
under -dogs in any of their undertakings.
Tho Oregonian is right in demanding the quiok punishment
of Ilurderer Finch. Portland, like San Francisco, is becoming
notorious for its lax enforcement of criminal law and murders
of the most atrocious character are becoming of very frequent
occurrence. There should be a determined effort to enforce
the law and Finch is a good subject to begin with.

Jefferson Do Angclta
Jefrorson De Angells, the well
known comedian, was born in San
Francisco, November 30, 1859, of
Jewish parentage. Both his father
and mothers were players. He re
ceived a common school education
and made his first stage appearance
when but a child. In 1871 he and his
slstor, Sarah, began a tour on their
own account In two or three little
sketches, working their way east
ward from San Francisco. Next they
went to Australia, where they failed
to reap the harvest of dollars they
had expected. More successful fi
nancially was their tour that fol
lowed In India and South Africa.
The comedian finally returned to
San Francisco, but it was a long
time before he won his way to fame.
With the McCaull Opera Company he
played for three years, principally
in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas,
then at the height of their popular
ity. In 1890 he became principal
comedian at tho New York Casino,
where he remained three years, par

Sh - :ucun!o:l wi:h Joel' plan, especial
ly as be had money enough to buy the
place and slock it. But she was
somewhat coy about marrying a man
she had never seen before and wanted
time to consider.
Joel's only objection to delay was
that they would wish to communicate,
and this was difficult He had already
boeu obliged to use the door of the
caualboat As bis passion grew he
would need more space. The only
larger stationery he could think of
was an old tent he possessed. He
might rip out a side, write his mes
sage on It and set it up on poles when
ho passed. If he needed a still larger
space, he might use the whole of one
sido of the canalboat
Mrs. Wiggins, thought the matter
over and found that her modesty would
not admit of such open lovemaking.
She said the neighbors might get on
to It Joel didn't care for the neigh
bors, but objected to the trouble of
getting up such big messages. He
said mournfully that "if they kep'
a-growin' he'd hev to use the mainsail
of a COO ton schooner before they were
married."
This settled the matter. Mrs. Wig
gins, who had already ridden three
miles, got down from the mule. It was
agreed between them thnt Joel should
resign at the eaj of the month from
his position of mule driver and as
sume the position" of husband. But in
the Interval Mahuldy was to stay at
home. In order that they might "con
verse when he passed he was to buv a
megaphone himself nnd one "for
her. They wWe to commence the dia
logue when he was half a mile awav
and keep It up till they were half "a
mile apart Having arranged all this.
Joel handed her $1 In Hen of the day's
wages nnd kissed her. and she aet off
barto her home.
