THRUST AT MORGAN.
Nene Frei Presse Satiriccl Because
He Lunched With Emperor.
Vienna July 6. The Neue Frei
Presse has published a satirical
editorial on the fact that J. Pier-
pont Morgan took luncheon with
Emperor William uu board the
imperial yacht flohenzolleru at
Kiel July 3. The paper remarks:
"Without his checkbook Mr.
Morgau would uever have been the
Emperor's guest."
The article harps throughout on
the probabilities of misfortune
overtaking the Napoleon of Fin-
aoce" and says that f-iided by the
imagination his trusts appear to
be excellent but the first moment
public confidence is disturbed the
system will undergo a severe trial. "
The Neue Frei Presse concludes
by saying: "Could a thoughtful
reader have peuetrated the secret
recesses of the minds of Emperor
William and his guest what start-
ling contrasts might he not have
discovered. In Emperor William's
mind perhaps a yearning for fame
and splendor; in that of Mr. Mor-
gan the hope of new trusts and
rising prices. How fortunate it is
that social politeness veils such op-
position." SLANG PHRASES.
Many of the familiar phrases of
the day have been in use since re
mote antiquity.
A learned German philologist has
recently traced a number of these
so-called slaog phrases through
half a dozen languagues to their
. . .
beffiunitifs. Here is a nnrrinl lisr
. r ;
of them
"He's a Brick!" This phrase
baS be6U
traced to a King of Snarta four
centuries B. C. A visitor to Lace-
daemouia the Spartan capital was
surprised to find the city without
walls and asked the King what he
wonld do in ease of invasion.
"Sparta has 50000 soldiers" re-
plied the King "and each man is
a'briek!"
"To Give the Cold Shoulder."
It was once the custom iu France
wheu a guest had outstayed his
welcome to serve him with a cold
shoulder of mutton instead of a hot
roast as a gentle hint for him to go.
"To Kick the Bucket." This
phrase dates back to the time of
Queen Elizabeth. A shoemaker
a kK!q tn i.o?eo i.;mcr!r
eon-
venient rafter.
To kick the bucket
; was of course his last act on earth.

AGUINALDO PKARS
ASSASSINATION.
The Filipii. Ladrr is Afraid to
Wntun Kuiih Without Pro-
tection. Manila July C. As a result of
the proclamation of amnesty July
4 the guard of American soldiers
has been wit lid ram from the bone
where Agnmaldo lives in Manila
and Lieutenant Johnson Agninal-
do's custodian brought the Fili-
pino leader today to see General
ChaffeX It was the first conversa-
tion between the American general
nnrl Iip IWiirlpr nf flip rpvnl nt.ifin .
LIentennl W. E. MeKilev of the
Ninth cavalry acted as interpreter.
Aguinaldo was told he was free
to go anywhere he pleased and
General Chaffee asked him jf he
had any complaint to make of
American discnrtesy jr harshness.
Aguinaldo replied that he had no
such complaint to make. He told
General Chaffee that he was going
to visit friends at hie home in Viejo
in Cavite province and inquired
what protection the American au-
thorities jpnld afford him. He
seemed m be afraid to venture
out. Ucneral Cbaftee replied that
Agujnaldo would get the same pro-
Btemion as any other cijizen. The
former Filipino leader then asked
General Shaffe to Drevent the
conrts from reqairiug him to tes
tify in civil suits. General Shaffee
replied that he had no authority
to grant this reqnest and advised
Aguinaldo to make a social call
upon Civil Governor Wright. This
ti j -11 n j
Aguinaldo do said he would do
. .. . .
bnt turt be would go at night as
he was timid about appearing on
the streets in daylight.
The release of the former Fili-
pino leader has renewed specula-
tion as to possible vengeance upon
him by friends of Luna and his
other enemies.
Luna was a Filipino leader whom
Aguinaldo cnused to be killed in
1899.
The Steady Man.
He never drinks a drop of gin
Through all the weary year ;
Yon never see him take the tin
And hustle 'round for beer;
He never puffs the pipe-stem reed
Or cigarettes that choke ;
In fact he doesn't use the weed
For chewing or to smoke.
He never thinks of gambling dice;
He has no racing tips;
He doesn't shnffle cards or dice
And never staclcs the chips;
In fact he is a model man
In this big world of strife.
He's living on the "bean-soup" plan
In Joliet for life.

Making People Indignant.
Denison Tex. July 6. Ab
Atoka I. T. message says: About
two months ago some parties fenced
several thousand acres of land
north of Stringtown. They import-
ed 5000 head of cattle from Texas.
These cattle after remaining in
the pasture a few days we"e either
purposely turned ont or broke out
of the enclosure and are now scat-
tered over the. country. The peo-
ple have become indignant at what
they believe to be a flagrant vioiit-
tion of the Choctaw laws and are
killing them by the hundreds. One
man reports that he saw 20 head of
deed cattle at one place. They had
been shot. It is said that more than
300 of these cattle have been slain.
It is also stated that more will be
killed unless the owners corral
them or remove them from the
country. News.
