EMPEROR WILLIAM of Germany has disgraced and “ fired" his press-agent. This seems unjust, in view of all the gratuitous adver- tising the man had been getting him lately. AY-DAY NOTE: The Emperor of China thinks of moving back to Pekin, where he vacated his flat somewhat hastily last. summer, and unfortunately without having taken the precaution to put his furniture into storage, ss ARE THE ES changing habits?” inquires the Philadelphia Press, That is an awkward question, neighbor. It does look as if our better halves were taking up some of our bad habits, such as gam- bling, drinking, smoking, clubbing, and voting; but in what instance have they given us any of their good habits in return?

In New York the Tammany consul, under orders from Kwang-Su Croker, is doing his best to overwhelm the Bow-Wong-Wui of Fifteen. PORTO RICO’S PROGRESS. EVERY TOWN in Porto Rico has an empty treasury; and San Juan, the capital, is so dead broke that the Mayor is trying—unsuccessfully so far—to raise money by means of a second mortgage on the City Hall. He must have been getting a few Tammany tips from New York, FROZE THEM OUT. THE ATLANTIC CABLE informs us that on his recent voyage across the ocean J. Pierpont Morgan was instrumental in discomfiting two card-sharpers who had been operating certain nefarious deals and com- bines. The great financier was able to give them cards and spades, THE STILL, SMALL VOICE. HURCH AND STATE are bound by many ties in Tennessee, where the revenue officers have unearthed a moonshine still run by a former clergyman, who is still—special accent on the sfid’—a deacon in good standing; and the worst of it is, he had been supplying his sequestered plant with water from the church-well by means of an underground pipe- line! WHERE DEER ARE DEAR. DEER are more numerous than ever in the Maine woods, but human beings have been thin- ned out—so much so ashy that the Legislature of Ki 4{) Re, »| that State has just j f passed a law fixing a ea, severe penalty “for the shooting of human be- ings by mistake for wild game.” Our ama- teur sportsmen will find it advisable now to hunt guides in the Adirondacks, New York, where human life is comparatively cheap. “ OOM PAUL'S oli THANKSGIVING. Sy QO™ PAUL KRUGER has been lately heard from, “sitting in a modest little inn at Utrecht, with a Bible under his left hand,” while he shook his right fist threateningly in the direction of Eng- land, and expressed (through a newspaper interviewer) his thanks to Providence for the manifold complications with which the British Empire is now beset. Although Oom's eyes are said to have been so much improved by scien- tific treatment that he can dispense with spec- s, yet his political views remain unchanged. GOOSE. zht_ away, now, Mr, CAN SEE CHINA’S ECONOMIC FINISH. UL LEROY BEAULIEU, the eminent French economist, says in discussing the future exploitation of China by the world powers: “It is probable the chief réle will fall to the United States, especially when the Nicaragua Canal has been cut. China will then, for economic pur- poses, become an American colony. The Americans know this, and their whole attitude during recent events has been marked by finesse and fore- It is to be wished that all our statesmen and publicists might d take such a clear and far-sighted view through this Frenchman's A PRESIDENTIAL PARADOX. 00 MUCH republican simplicity on the part of Congress may be responsible for accusations of imperial luxuriousness being brought against the President of these United States. This sounds like a paradox, but it is cold fact, as regards the proposition of the Pullman company to place at President McKinley's disposal a special and exclusive railway- carriage costing fifty thousand dollars. Although, personally, Mr. McKin- ley is a man of the most quiet and modest tastes, yet it is eminently fitting that the Chief Executive of this nation should have his own private palace- car. The great pity is that he should be obliged to accept it as a gift from a plutocratic corporation that needs political “ pulls” in its business. comicbooks.com
