The San Francisco Call thinks that
train robbing is a very cowardly
crime. It requires more address than
courage. As usually committed the
robber compels some member of the
train crew to do the dangerous part
of it, under threat of death, The
commission of the crime has always
the Intention to murder as its neces¬
sary accompaniment, and its success¬
ful execution would seldom be pos¬
sible if intended murder were not
used in the act. Death should be the
penalty, and when the rope has
choked a few of these miscreants the
heroic element will cease to be at¬
tractive.

THE OLD-TIME CIRCUS SHOW.
These here cil-cu ses we see be—
Ain’t the sort that used to
Great big wonderful affairs
Keeps us scatterin’ our stares
’Long the strung-out row o’ rings
Tryin’ to see all the things
Till our rubbernecks git sore
As a bile, an’ every pore
Sweatin’ plum from bead to feet
From excitement an’ the heat,
An’ our they’re eyes get swappin’ tangled places; so
Seems go
Rollin’ up an’ down the tent
Sort o’ in bewilderment
Tryin’ to see it all till they
Git right in each other’s way!
Leave the tent plum certain we
Haven’t seen the half, by sneak gee!
An’ around the town we
Lookin' cross-eyed fer a week!
Give us them ol’-fashioned shows,
Seats a-pilin’ single up throwed-up jn rows
’Round a showed everything ring
Where bunch, they an’ could us set

-British Navy Better Than Ever.
“I have known the inner workings
of the navy intimately for ten years
now, and I unhesitatingly affirm that
tho mediocre men of to-day are better
than the best men of ten years ago.
In energy, thought, zeal, brain power,
resource, Individuality, in all these and
kindred things the navy is on a de¬
cided up-grade, and the personnel of
the navy of the past is simply not to
be compared with the navy of to-day.
“In all the rot around us, the Briiish
Navy is the one thing healthy yet.
The whole aim and object of modern
naval warfare is to make the enemy
lose his head. The officers and men
of the British Navy will keep their
heads longer than any— that is the ob¬
ject of all their train*?, In the navy,
