President Roosevelt has defined Monroe Doctrino and stands to maintain it. If Benjamin R. Tillman were large enough to see his own little ness lie would make less noise. The Nile Dam at Assouan is com pleted and the works are in opera tion. The Senate committee on Public Lands will now turn its attention to a measure of relief for Alaska. Deacon Bear is one of those j "christian gentlmen" who so des cribe themselves. Ninty per cent, of the office furniture sold in England is niado in tins country. The trouble in Venezuela proves the comfort which can be afforded by €*i well equipped navy and re organized army. A co-operative telephone com pany in Michigan costs its subscri bers 25 cents a month. Every report from the Philip pines serves to confirm the wisdom and justice of American rule in the islands. Why do the miserable slayers of women not commit the inevitable suicide first? It is many years since White House hospitality has been conduct ed on as large a scale as it is this year. Spiders in the stables are the horses best friends,they kill off the flies, gnats and mosquitoes. Apparently 110 amount of demon stration will ever prove to some democrats that the protection policy has come to stay. Cogs of paper are now inserted in the wheels of high speed machines. They are noiseless and very durable. With Theodore Roosevelt in the White House the people need fear of no unrebuked violation of the Monroe Doctrine. The old proverb, "It takes a thief to catch a thief,'' may explain the phenoininal wealth of some of the -New York Policemen. The negotiation of a reciprocity treaty with Cuba robs the demo crats of another choice argument they loved to dwell on. Senator Lodge does not hesitate to place the opposition to the edu cational clause in the Immigration bill where it belongs. Even the appropriation for the 1 Anthracite Coal Strike Commission j could not get through the Senate without democratic objection. The sincerity with which Senator Procter is carrying on the work of the Mililary Allairs Committee makes the absence of Senator Haw- ! ley less unfortunate. Those representatives whoclamor loudest about republican extrava gance are the loudest shouters when their own towns want a new post ohice. \ I'acilic cable, under the sole ' • ontrol of the I nih il States, prom ises to constitute another monu- I ui' iit to President Hoo<«velt's flret term.

It would be a misfortune indeed to the shipping interests of the United States if there should be any wavering upon the part of the ■ legislation of the State of Pennsyl vania in the return to the United States Senate of Hon. BoiesPeurose. Senator Penrose has proven him self a pronounced friend of all the leading maritime interests of the nation, and his vote has always been found upon the side that aims to build us and firmly establish the merchant marine of the country. Particularly has he been strenuous and advanced upon the question of the improvement and moderniza i tion of rivers and harbors, not alone especially along the Eastern ! coast, but along the Gulf and Paci fic coasts. He is one of the broad -1 gauged men who can be relied up on at all times and in every emer gency to do that which the mari time interests of the country de mand. He has made a study of the Skipper, the sailor, the river and the harbor, and there is not a statesman in the United State Sen ate to-day who is so well versed in the knotty problems that from time presents themselves for solution. We note there is some talk of his being the candidate for the mayor alty of the city of Philadelphia. It is sincerely to be hoped that Sen ator'Penrose will not accept such nomination. He is wanted now in Senate of United States, and he cannot be spared. There are burn ing questions to come upshortly in that body most materially affecting the maritime interests, and the time calls for brave men with stout, manly hearts to meet these ques tions. Pennsylvania must send back to the Senate the Hon. Boies Penrose. It would not be advisable to make a local office-holder of a man built upon the lines of this Senator. Pennsylvania in more than one generation has not had so strong a man to care for her inter ests in Washington as she has in him, and it would be a misfortune to the entire nation to substitute an untried man in his position. We know where he stands and where he has always stood upon great national questions, and we also know that he is as true as the needle to the pole in matters of vast public import. Let Senator Boies Penrose, the friend of mari time interests, remain where he is. Business exigency demand it in this case most particularly.—The Maritime News. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

LOOKING FOR SANTA CLAUS The snow was falling? on the moan tains, hiding their tops In a misty veil, and the nlr was full of whirling flakes, which were rapidly covering the hrowa earth with a carpet of white and oblit erating the trail up the mountain side where trudged, or, rather, stumbled, along a grotesque Childish figure in a man's rough Jacket, the sleeves rolled over and •ver to let out the small broyrn hands, while the edge of the coat, on a line with her heels, left a trail In the snow. A red hood | covered the child's head, dark curls peeping out around her face, and in , J the fearless, wistful eyes s' I Shone a new light, for f' Dorothy was going to find , • Santa Claus. When her * mother had gone to heav- •. en a short time before, .< w('. : jwl9 i they had carried her up j the mountain, and (Jod •:• aSMjOfSn and Santa Claus were nl ways associated together In the child's mind. So, If Cod lived up there, San ta Claus could not be far jHml away. Thus reasoned lit- S 1 tie Dorothy in the hours V '"H when her father was off \\ working in the rnlno andy ! she was left alone with her rng doll In the little brown hut which served nnd Santa as shelter and home.

Littto Dorothy paused in her task •112 the one room of their home, and, putting some potatoes in the ashes to bake, that her father'a supper rulglit be ready for him, she had wraf>ix>d herself In his sld coat, donned h«T rud hood and started out to and Santa Claus. !

CAI.LIE BONNBY MARBLE. Ila* Oeiaha. "Getsha," tiie professional girl en tertainer of Japan, Is by no menus to b« confounded with "gelnln," says Japan nnd America. The word geisha really means actor, "gel" meaning a play or entertainment of any sort, and "slia" means a person. For Instance, 1-sha means physician, and so on. The word really means wlint "netor" does in English, but it has come to mean only those girls In Japan who ar« trained to entertain by dancing nnd I singing to the shamlsen and koto, the I usual musical instruments for light en tertainments, and they also are trained to converse agreeably on topics of the day. "Geinln," on the other hand, while it really means the same thing tin geisha, has now come to be applied to artists. In a higher sense. The Merry Wiiir.
