“In addition to being the largest and
most formidable battleship afloat,” he
said, “and the superior of all others,
both from an offensive and defensive
point of view, having the most power-
ful armament and being practically in-
vulnerable, it will be the fastest, beyond
all comparison. It will be able to steam
28 miles an hour.”
“But if it is to be so much better than
any other,” asked one of the members
of the committee, “what is the use of
devoting so much time to mere speed?”
“Why—er—it might be necessary
some day. You can’t tell when one of
the other great powers may build a
bigger and heavier battleship.”
A (COOLNESS.
A gentleman was visiting a friend to
Georgia last winter who employed a 1
large number of negroes on his planta-
tion. The darkies were treated with
great kindness by their employer, but
this did not prevent them from steal-
ing. 7
The visitor attended their Sunday
service and on leaving the church was
asked by the negro preacher how he
liked the sermon. The reply was com-
plimentary. Then came the remark:
"If I were you I should preach to your
people on the sinfulness of theft.”
The preacher rejoined: "Well, sah, I
hab tried that style, but somehow or
Oder, it alius seemed to throw a kind of
coolness ober de meetin’.”

stockholders were paid a dividend of 400

ment of the dividend is a step in the plan
to increase the bank's capital from $1,000,-

Chicago, Dec. 15.—A special
London to the Tribune says:
Marie Corelli, though her profound
contempt for man in every aspect re-
mains undiminished, does not believe in
womans’ suffrage. She claims she can
now direct 50 men’s votes at election in
any way she chooses, but she says her
power would be destroyed if she had a
vote of her own.
“If,” she said, “woman has as the
natural heritage of her sex the mystic
power to persuade, enthrall and subju-
gate man, she has no need to come
down from her throne to mingle in any
of his political frays.”
She scores woman remorselessly for
allowing herself to be given away in
fashion papers.
“There,” she says, “man sees woman
as the fool rampant. She is depicted
as semi-bald, holding her wig in one
hand, ready to put it on. She is shown
in a half nude state, thin and scraggy,
but again unblushingly holds artificial- „
ly molded plump portions of her body
which nature failed to supply, in readi-
ness to fasten over the hollow places.
She is exhibited plainly and pitilessly
as a swindle. t
“Do women imagine that men never
look at such napers? Never perceive
the bold, prominent challenge of these
degraded advertisements, padded, dyed, s
frizzed, shameless creature a woman
may be, and often is?
“A casual study of our modern ladies’
pictorials will convince the most opti-
mistic male supporter of woman’s
rights that a majority of the fair sex
is not as yet in any way fitted for the
franchise.”

member of the Dickie society of Har-
vard and is at libertv next year to re-
quire candidates for admission to do
the strange things he has done the last
week to gain an entree to this univer-
sity club. Young Roosevelt was last
night formally admitted to the select
body with what ceremonies no one ex-
cept those present knows.
In preparation he was taken in the
afternoon to a suburb of Boston, where
he was blindfolded and compelled to go
through; the motions of stopping a run-
away horse in the center of the village.
Later he was taken to a room in the
university yard, Where he was seated ip
a huge bowl of ice water and required
to go through the motions of rowing
with a pair of toothpicks.
As a member of the Dickie club
Roosevelt is entitled to some privileges.
He is socially-or the “elect,” and when-
ever his class figures in any society
event in the future he will be among
the participants entitled to special dis-
tinction. He will now be one of the
social arbiters of the university if he
chooses.

li/FARK TWAIN, humorist and satirist, has taken up the subject of dress reform. One cold day recently he agl-
tated Washington by appearing In a suit of white flaiitiel, both at his hotel and at the capltol. “This is a
uniform,” he said. “It Is the uniform of the American Association of Purity and Perfection, of which I am presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer and the only man In the United States eligible to membership.” When surprise was
expressed that he should show such disdain for the thermometer at 34 degrees above zero, he said: “There is ab-
solutely no comfortable and delightful and pleasant costume but the human skin. That, however, is impossible.
So when.you are seventy-one years old you may at least be pardoned for dressing as yop please.” Later on Twain
brought his summer outfit before the Joint committee on patents, together with a funny argument over the copy-
right bill.

An eminent British authority on trans-
portation says, ‘The railroad rate in
America is a matter of rife or death to
a community.’ It is estimated that we
pay in transportation rates _ $26 for
every man, woman afid child in the
United State.s. Without transportation
there can be no. commerce. It is .said
there are six or seven men in this coun-
try who by reason of their control of
the railroads of the United States, have
it in their power to establish rates
that will make or unmake a city, or
community.: This is too great power
for few men to possess, ,, pew. have
ever lived on this earth who could
wield absolute power with justice to

view of the large proportions of our
internal commerce that this demand
is modest, indeed. It has . been esti-
mated that th.e internal trade of the
United States aggregates more than 25
billion dollars. Fifty million a year'

of 1 per cent upon this great business.

A TALLER ORDER.
James had been a member of the
glorious company of the workless for
some time, so that when the offer of
work as a carter came Jones jumped up
at it, says London Answers.
But even to be a carter requires ex-
perience, particularly in loading up, and
when one has a two-wheeled spring
cart to load it is better not to put all
the goods at the back. This, however,
was what Jones did, with the conse-
quence that, when they were going up
hill, the horse, unable to stand the
strain, stopped.
It did not strike our friend that his
method of loading was at fault. He
tried vainly to induce his steed to pro-
ceed, and then, noticing that the ani-
mal’s feet only touched the ground, he
turned and drove back at full speed to
his employer.
“Haven’t you got a taller horse, guv-
nor?” he queried artlessly. “This one
ain’t high enough for the work.”

North Dakota Town Wants Militia
. (Force Coal Transportation.
By Associated Press.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 15.—With the
cold wave signal flying, the coal shortage
in the northwest becomes not only a
cause of suffering, but an absolute men-
ace to human life.
Glenburg, N. D., is seriously consider-
ing an appeal to the governors of both
Dakota and Minnesota to employ the
state militia in enforcing the movements
of coal trains.
Eveleth, Minn., faces darkness and suf-
fering through deprivation of coal, and
apprehensive reports have come from
numerous other places.
The Glenburg (N. D.) situation is thus
summed up in a statement from the Glen-
burg Commerical club:
“The dealers wire us that the situation
is entirely up to the railroads; shippers
are unable to obtain cars to load with
coal. Today we will wire Governor Sear-
les requesting him to take the matter up
with Governor Johnson of Minnesota
and, if necessary, call out the militia of
the two states to run coal trains. The
situation all through this section is des-
perate, and with the liability of blizzards
at any time many will freeze to death if
fuel is not soon available. Farmers are
coming to town with stories of burning
up sheds and other outhouses. We have
'notified the farmers that if the worst’
comes they can bring their families and
bedding and camp in our new four-room
brick school house. We have sufficient
coal to heat the building for three
months, at least, and it will go farther
in this way than it would if distributed
among those who are out of fuel.”
