WEEKLY COURIEE

nKN ED. DOANE, Pabllnher. JASPER, INDIANA. It Is COnfUSinc to gar that thn nrlu inal college widow la dead. Originality is io long suit of all of theiu. If people are not more careful the death strip is going to Intarfere seriously with our census prospects. Though science denies that there are equinoctial storms they have a way of coming along about that time. If you -want to get into the nobility keep away from Prussia. To be inado a duke you have to pay a tax of $2,400. It is only natural to think that Spain ought by this time to bo pretty well cured of the habit of going to war. The host way to put down the socalled white slave traffic Is for every mother to safeguard her daughters In her home. Santos-Dumont flies with wings containing only nine square yards of surface They will yet be reduced to vest pocket siao. Spanish General Weyler says a policy of foresight would have avoided the Tatalonlan trouble. He knows how it was in Cuba. The woman's page of a contemporary tells us that kerosene will not make the hair grow. Mr. Rockefeller found this out long ago. As flying comes Into general use a better term than "aviation will, no doult. be found. That term Is too high-toned for general consumption. If the skating season would only follow Immediately upon the heels of the swimming period, the happiness of the small boy would be augmented. The okl-fashloned gomdrop has only held Its own in recent years, but it may be expected to bloom now that it is so intimately connected with tho polar discovery. A man in a Connecticut town was sent to jail for persistently whistling the same popular tune. That longatusod and long-suffering worm, the publle, has turned W last. A fountain pen in a Xew York man's pocket stopped a bullet and Eaved his life. Most fountain pens destroy all chances of the future life, with the average-tempered man. The report that the young Shah of Persia Is in a despondent frame of mind is followed by another that ho Is about to be married. No relation between the two statements Is indicated, however. Limiting telegraphic code to ordinary dictionary words will check the laicn'Jve genius of tome senders, but It will save wear and tear of operators' brains In pualing out long and Etrange combinations. In response to the mother's plea, a New England magistrate agreed to discharge a youth accused of larceny and drunkenness if he would Join the navy. The judge was evidently unaware of the rules of the department, for when the youth sought to enlist he was rejected on the ground that the American navy is not a reformatory for the cure of the vicious. Both the army and the navy properly Insist that candidates for enlistment shall be of good moral character. "Souvenir hunting." as it Is too charitably styled, has reached a point necessitating stern measures to wipe it out. Hotel proprietors, who are the greatest sufferers, are usually contont with adding to the bill, when thoy detect the thief, the value of goods stolen. That Is mistaken leniency, in the Interest of public morality suoB offenders should be handed over to the police for prosecution. With Judge and Jury doing their duty "souvenir hunting" would soon cease to be popular. The tramp problem Is a hard one' to solve, and yet a solution must be found If the country Is to be permanently protporous. Many of the States hnvo experimented with vagrant laws of one kind or another, and with some degree of success, but still the country is overrun with idle vagabonds who are a constant menace to society, and aro a heavy tax on the people,'. Vagabondage is in the nature of a disease, and it should be treated as such. The whole country Is stirred up over the movement for good roads, and in many parts one of the dlfllcultle Is the securing of laborers to construct the proposed Improved highways. In one State It has been suggested that tramps bo corralled and forced to become producers Instead of consumers by working on the roads. This scheme may not bo possible to the extent Its advocates believe, but it may be useful in a measure. "Get rid of the tramps," should be tho cry throughout the country.

All the other New England states held out for Reed and he felt that except for Proctor's he might have had a chance for the nomination. Major Kendall met Reed in NewYork at the time of the SpanishAmerican war, which the latter felt to be one of the greatest diplomatic mistakes of all time. They started to discuss that topic.
