P ERHAPS the Jersey woman who has had herself bap- tized in three different states looks upon that habit as a new species of di- vorct. I" IS LAM- ENTABLE that the waiter whom Tod Sloan smashed in the face with a bottle didn’t give Mr. Sloan his tod in the same way. NO WONDER. “These references look all right.” Chicago will be Visi oom wiped off the map in fifteen hundred years, and the people of the town are so wrought up that they want to lynch him. MBE. TRAIN says he will live one hundred and fifty years if nothing happens to him. ‘The trouble with all the rest of the world is that something happens. T HAVING been discovered that the president has his trousers creased only below the knee, the public is now anxious to learn precisely how he creases his eyebrows. THE BOOKS of Mrs. Eddy. Christian scientist, are believed to have been sold with a profit of a million dollars. There is considerable science in that fact, anyhow. WE BEG to remind the people of New Mexico and Kansas who achieved hoarseness in yelling for Roosevelt that, after all, the gov- ernor hasn't yet begun to run for president. sieire [F ROBERT P. PORTER is made ~ secretary of the colonies” he may be relied upon, we hope, to make a satisfactory census of the rebels who may be in occupation of the acquired territory. It doesn’t look well in me fer to say it, but me little bye Terence is the best writer in IN THE FAR HENCE. MF- TESLA doesn't look for immediate results. He says he merely points the way, and will be satisfied to have his inventions take effect some years after he is dead. That was to some extent the case with Mr. Keely, and where are Mr. Keely’s inventions now? TRUST AGAINST TRUST. THE NATIONAL GRANGE, according to its master, Aaron Jones, will have a million members. Its main idea is opposition to trusts; and a trust of that size surely ought to be effective. And when it has suc- ceeded in destroying all the other trusts will it disband, or will it glory in its power and go right on? HOW HE WILL RESIGN. ENERAL ALGER proposes to go from the office of the secretary of war to a chair in the United States senate on the fifth of March, 1901. That is the kind of resignation be has in mind, and we hope the programme will be carried out. As the most and best abused man of his period he deserves the amplest reward. ISN'T IT BLASPHEMY? HE FATHER of Jeffries says the Lord was with his son when he whipped Fitzsimmons. The Lord is credited with too much con- temptible business. We hear of a horse-thief who claimed divine help in his industry, and of certain vigilantes who put in the same claim when they succeeded in hanging him. A PROPER REWARD. THE CLER- GYMAN who married Perry Belmont and Mrs. Sloane got five hundred dollars for his services, but un- der the harsh criticism of his brethren return- ed the money. If he might have untied the knot perhaps his con- science would have made him do so; but as he couldn't he should have kept the money, The job was worth it—every cent of it, A FAIR EX- CHANGE, NGLAND is in a great state of excitement because Kitchener's men destroyed the mahdi's tomb and cut off the mahdi’s head. There was likewise great excitement there when the mahdi cut off Gordon's head. Let us hope that that event hasn’t been forgotten, and likewise that a live man misses his head far more than does a man who has been dead a number of years. THE SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN. THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL of women in session in London roundly hissed a paper protesting against suffrage for women. They even jeered at the reader, as if opposition to the suffrage were both heresy and foolishness. It may be judged from this.that at least a majority of women want to vote; and it is just as true that the minority will do so if they can. regardless of all political and other precedent. A WEAKNESS. HE GOVERNMENT of France sequestrated Marchand because the populace were wild for him. Will it be necessary some day to seques- trate all books and statues in honor of the first Napoleon? When it be- ‘comes necessary for a government to stifle popular worship of an idol, even an imaginary one, the government acknowledges a weakness in its structure which is easily dangerous. And the worst of it is that everybody knows it is there. comicbooks.com
