HIS NEW BROTHER.
[ Say, I’ve got a little brother,
Never teased to have him, nuther,
But lie's here;
They just went ahead a bought him,
And last week the doctor brought him.
Wa’nt that queer?
When I heard the i^ws from Molly,
Why, I thought at first ’twas jolly,
’Cause you see,
I s’posed I could go and get him,
And then mama, course, would let him
Play with me.
But when I has once looked at him,
4‘Why,” I says, “my sakes is that him,
Just that mite!’’
They said, “Yes. and ain't he cunin’?”
And I thought they must be fuflnin’—
He’s a sight!
He's so small, it's just, amazin’
And you’d think that he was blazin’
lie’s so red;
And his nose is like a cherry,
And h’s bald as Uncle Jerry
On the head.
Why, he isn’t worth a dollar!
All he does is cry and holler
More and more.
Won't sit up; you can't arrange him—
I don’t see why pa don’t change him
At the store.
Now we’ve got to dress and feed him.
And we really didn’t need him
More’n a frog;
W’hy’d they buy a oaby brother
When they know I’d good deal rut her
Have a dog?

STORM ON THE DEAD SEA.
When Adverse Winds Blow the Only
Craft Upon the Waters Has
a Bough Time.
Since the earthquake in Pales
tine last April some one lias cir
culated the story that tin* mouth
of the river Jordan has been so af
fected by the shock that the level
of the river had been altered to
such an extent that at the place
where the historic river goes into
the Dead sea there was now a wa
terfall of considerable depth and
strength. This is altogether false,
says a London paper, and no
change whatever has taken place
at or near the mouth of the Jor
dan.
Much has also appeared in peri
odicals about steamboats navigat
ing the Dead sea. This, too, is a
fabrication. The only boat on the
Dead sea is a small sailing-boat
about L’O feet long. This vessel
makes trips as the wind blows,
from the north end of the sea to
the bay on the eastern side of the
tongue that divides the water near
the middle. Here at this terminus
some Jews are located. The whole
| concern is. in fact, in the hands of
! Jews, who, at a low rate, buy wheat
! and barley from the Arabs, to be
! delivered on the seashore. From
there it is shipped to the Jericho
side and carried on donkeys to Je
rusalem, where it finds a ready
sale at a good price.
When adverse winds blow the
j little craft is in danger of being
swamped, for the so-called Dead
sea becomes a living mass of
waves. A traveler recently spent
four nights such as never will be
forgotten on these waters, and the
smartness of the old man at the
helm and his boy with the three
sails saved all from being ship
| wrecked again and again. A
charge of one mejedie (three shill
ings and fourpence) a trip is made
for each passenger, and for such
a unique voyage it is not exorbi
tant. There is some talk of a small
j steam tug being put on the sea.
but the authorities are loth to
grant permission. It will be a
fireat boom when, if ever, it does
arrive, as it will bring the east and
west sides of Jordan nearer to one
another for communictition and
| trading purposes.
PLAGIARIZE TO WIN MARKS
Yet Students Fail Even When Bor
rowing from Keats. Tennyson
or Macaulay.
The exploits of a student at the
Topeka high school in his effort to
; gf‘t a high mark in original com
position have revealed the per
| formances of others from the sun
(lower state, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The student was prizees
sayist in tin* part of the state from
which he came and he “laid him
self out” to win a tiara or some
thing at the high school, but. burn
the oil of midnight as lie would, he
ne\ei soared above the mediocre
82 in the markings. Finally he
copied one of Macaulay's best es
says and still got the 82; then he
stopped.
A man now known to fame had
contributed original poems ♦ o \\ il
liarns college publications when
he was a student there, and the
college paper “tore him all up.”
Then he printed one of Tennyson’s
and signed his name to it and the
college editor blazed awav at him
before anyone revealed the trick.
Another poet now well known as
one of the “minor poets” couldn’t
please the woman editor of a west
ern college paper, and as a last re
sort sent one of Keats’poems to
gether with two of his own, to’her
for her judgment. She said the
two really written by him were
very fair, but the other (Keats’)
was very sad indeed. She got even
with him finally—she married
him.
Thepoint which we wish to make
in connection with these simple lit
tie stories of happy childhood’s
days is that the magazine editors
and the persons who do the read
ing for publishers in general must
be recruited from the staffs of the
college papers.

ON A WAR FOOTING
President Roosevelt’s Strenuous
Peace Policy Looks a Little
Suspicious.
Hip question: is the United
States being prepared for war?
may well be asked. Joseph Pul
itzer, in his open letter to Presi
dent Roosevelt, says:
W e are spending more money
now on oar navy than any flfcdier
country in the world except Eng
land; a third more on our army
than Austria-Hungary, with near
ly 400,000 men under arms, and
twice as much as Japan in time
peace, and more on army, navy
ar'd pensions than is spent for the
sanie purposes by any of the over
loaded military powers of conti
nental Europe without exception.
Our navy is costing us $98,000,000
this year. France, hitherto the
second naval power in the world,
is spending $01,000,000 on hers,
and Germany, under your illust
rious counterpart, the Emperor,
$50,000,000. On its face, our ac
tivity looks as if we were prepar
ing for certain war.
Y\ e are building thirteen bat
tleships to England's ten. Ger
many s seven and France’s six,
and thirteen great armored cruis
ers, practically battleships, to
England’s sixteen, France's six
and Germany’s two. We are just
finishing half a dozen smaller cruis
ers. We have more first-class bat
tleships already built than any
other country in the world except
England, and the English editor
of Brassey's Naval Annual says
that in ten years at the present
rate we shall displace Great Brit
ain as the first naval power of the
globe, Y et you keep prodding us
on. How much do you want' Fif
ty years ago our navy consisted
of a few wooden frigates and our
peaceful merchant tleets covered
the seas. To-day we have over
t)00,000 tons of steel battleships
and cruisers, and our merchant
marine in the foreign trade has
shrunk until it it hardly larger
than the navy that is supposed to
protect it.”
”1 am not speaking to Demo
crats this is not a party matter.
Your schemes are personal, not
partisan. Your boasted American
ism is really Europeanism. It is
the very antithesis of the true A
i merican spirit. You are propos
I ing to Europeanize our institu
tions. Not content with the ex
traordinary increase in the powers
and patronage of the President of
f he United States, you propose to
become practically the President
>f the whole Western Hemisphere,
riie accidental head of one repub
lic, you would make yourself the
head of twenty-one. In the name
of James Monroe, the strict con
structionist of the Constitution,
and under a hypocritical pretense
of duty, you assume prerogatives
that would turn Hamilton pale
and that would make Monroe rise
in his grave. 1 defy any of your
(Hi legists, from the brilliant and
distinguished M hitelaw Reid
downward, to show one line in the
writings of any previous Presi
dent of any party justifying your
proposed suzerainty over the \Y es
tern Hemisphere. But it you tail
to find any warrant tor your poli
ce in the Constitution of the l nit
<-d States or the practice of your
predecessors, you may find it abun
lantly in the quarter from which
you borrowed the policy’ itselt in
Europe."
