WILL XOT RETIRE. "Uncle" Joe Says Report Exaggerates. Place Hard to Fill. So unequivocal was the announcement in Chicago of Representative Rodenberg, of Illinois, that Joseph G. Cannon would retire from congress at the conclusion of his present term, that the standing committee of press correspondents appointed a delegation to visit the distinguished octoge' narian for the purpose of dissuading him from his contemplated course. Mr. Chnnon was well pleased with the expressions of the delegation. And then with typical direction, he exclaimed: i "Rodenberg spoke without authoriS tv. nrovided he spoke at all. I don't I believe he spoke. At any rate, the report, like that which had Mark Twain prematurely dead, is exagger1 ate. Some men die in public office, and others are beat. He who retires is in a lonesome company. "At any rate, I will speak for myIself when determined to depart from my usual course." Mr. Cannon does not want to retire. That is certain. His family, however, is under the impression that better care could be taken of him at his private home. Some friends, under the same impression, have advised him to resign. But he has said nothing. And the chances are that he will again stand for election and be elected. The novelty of Washington serv ice lias not worn off as for as Mr. Cannon is concerned. He has been in congress, with the exception of two terms, since 1872. There is no reason, apparent to the average observer, why he should retire. He has no claim to the reason so many younger men offer, the necessity of amassing a fortune against old age. It can not be said that his age prevents effective work For there is no man more influential in the house than Mr. Cannon. Some new- man could fill his seat in a physical sense. But no man in <he United States could take his place in the affection of the people in official and private Washington circles. He is an institution, and is daily hailed by hundreds whose names he can not tell. It is noticeable, however, that "Uncle*' Joe is an old man this year. He was not an old man last year. He seems to have withered suddenly. His eye does not sparkle with the lore of combat. He is not so aggressive. He is milder, softer in manner, more benign. He does not carry?and this is a woeful augury! ?his ever present cigar at such a cocky angle. Some say the change is due to the defeat of General Sherwood of Ohio, ?nnfh#>r octoeenarian. Some at tribute it to the death of Champ Clark. Whatever caused it, the change is certain., But nothing has dimmed his mind. It is as alert as ever, and no youngster in the house, however gifted in the retort he might be, can hold his own with the nimble witted gentleman from Illinois. He is a wonderful old man, this last leaf on the tree! He goes to work on street cars, and on street cars smokes his cigar unmolested. He answers his mail and attends the sessions of the house. He is still a standpatter, reactionary, protectionist, czarist! But he speaks kindly of every man, even those who declare his paternoster that of the devil himself. ? Rvonihes. he has dinner at the press club. He plays a game of ' dominoes, he he disappears to return at midnight, sometimes softly swearing at the uncertainty of poker, and the inconveniences wrought by those who would reform the world by statute. He has no associate of his age. But rather than accept chairs offered by younger men, he prefers to stand. It is the spirit that has kept him going throughout all these years which fast approach a century. His Inactivity. "Your new hired man is a pretty shiftless feller, aint he?" asked Farmer Bentover. . "Well, yes," replied Farmer Horn"All fthings considered, I be ? lieve he shifts less than any other hired man I ever witnessed." Not Surprising.. "Oh, Gus, just think!" exclaimed little Mrs. Kidlett to her bachelor brother who had been away "for some *' eks. "The baby can walk!" "Er?just so!" returned Gus, s somewhat mystified by her elation "So?er?can I." His Heirs. "I was reading last night about a feller that left each of his children a farm." remarked Gap Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge. Arkansas. "But. then, he had only five children. I've got fourteen, and prob'ly the best I can do will be to leave them three or four dogs apiece." \ ''x ? TOOLS NAMED FOR ANIMALS. Connection Often Apparent But Not Always Clear. There are quite a number of tools which are named after animals, and it is interesting to find out the connection between the instrument and the animal after which it is named. In some cases the connection of ideas is evident and it is obvious why the tool . is so named, observes a writer in London Answers. The "monkey wrench," for instance, which is a spanner with a movoKIti ioTT nan-aT-ilo r>f o^inctmATlt. Pan. by a little stretch of imagination, be thought to possess some likeness to a monkey's profile and, true, it deals with "nuts." The "donkey engine," which is capable of lifting great weights, may be considered similar in disposition to the animal noted for its stubbornness and strength. We can see how the mechanical "crane"got its name. In * the distance it looks somewhat like that long-necked and long-legged bird. i It is also natural that in a country like the United States, where large herds of cattle were found roaming wild, the wedge-shaped iron frame in > fmnt of n inp.nmotlve <should be called "cow-catcher." The carpenter's "horse" is naturally so called because it has to carry so much on its back. The derivation of the tailor's "goose" is not very evident, but no doubt some long-forgotten, imaginative and poetically minded tailor, in a burst of inspiration, called his smoothing iron a "goose," and the name has been used ever'since by his more practical successors. The trivet used to support a vessel over the fire, with its long, thin legs, is naturally called a "spider," and it is obvious why a spiral instrument or iron screw is called a "worm." Also we can all see why the large iron pok er which, oeing maae rea nui, is useu for lighting fires, is called a "salamander." It is not easy, however, to see the connection between a crab?a flat, clumsy animal?and the pillar used as a winch; and why a capstan is called a "crab" is difficult to imagine. Again, the bar of iron sharpened at one end and used a lever for raising weights is named a "crowbar," for no evident reason, and I would gladly take my hat off to the man or woman who can explain to me the derivation of the name "bucksaw," "catboat," and "bullwheel." ht"pftwfr rmnvg rack. White Coal is Cheaper than Black 9 Coal. One of the inevitable results of the high price of coal will be the development of hydro-electric energy wherever the opportunity is good in the United States. There are hundreds of spots in the east where water power was utilized in former days, but where the water wheel was abandoned because coal was so cheap that it no longer was profitable to employ the power of the streams. Now the conditions have changed and once more water power is almost certain to "come back," particularly in sections of the country where it is possible to impuuuu CUii&meiauic quaunu^o ui > water without great cost and where it does not freeze so hard in winter as to cause a suspension of operations. In France the government is engaged on various projects for the utilization of tidal waters in streams where the rise and fall is very great. In one of the rivers where the tidal rise is more than 20 feet, it is proposed to generate power on both the inflow and the outflow and supply light, heat and energy for a large territory thereabout. There is no such tide in this country. In the Gulf of Mexico the tide is inconsequential, ranging from 18 to 24 inches. In New York it is about six feet. On the Main coast it is about eight feet. Up in Canada the Atlantic tide is something to talk about, particularly in the Bay of Fundy. There the tide is about forty feet and that region boasts one of the wonders of the world in a reversible waterfall, the waters tumbling over one side of a rocky obstruction as the tide comes in and over the other side as the tide goes out. Hydro-electric engineers are in more demand these days than they have been for years and more serious attention is being given to water pro jects than ever before. Before long the investing public is likely to have a lot of literature from bankers specializing in this department of enterprise and development. Water power projects require a lot of money. One deterrent^ is that the investment is total before there is any return. On the other hand, there is little expense for upkeep once the work is done. Nature doesn't charge anything for the work it does and rarely, if ever, strikes.?Commerce and Finance. Largest tablet in county for 5c at Herald Book Store. STATEMENT.
