At Philadelphia a few days ago, there was a meeting of colored men, well known in political circles from different sections of the country, to consider the present political status of the Negro of this country. The consensus of opinion as expressed, was that the Republican party had not done its duty towards their race and was no longer entitled to their support; that the Democratic party was worse than the Republican party and hence unworthy of their sultrage; it was decided to organize and place before the voters of the country, a separate and distinct party, to be known as the Negro Protective Party and the picture of Lincoln is to be used as its emblem. Those mentioned for the office of president were Booker T. Washington and Andrew Johnson of Mass. D Augustus Straker of Mich., and Bishop Alexander Walters of New Jersey. It is the fervent hope of those who wish for the best results to the race, that this new child, conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity, will have but a few days to live. "The Republican party is the only ship for the Negro. All else is sea."
Through a mistake of A. P.

Frank Wheaton, was rented to the Hennepin County Republican Association for Thursday night, the 14th, but the committee secured Plummer Post hall at the last moment and re-advertised the meeting, with the result that more than 200 colored citizens met at the last mentioned hall and had a veritable love feast. The tokens of esteem that "the boys" show upon the uninterrupted head. Frank must unwind the cockles of his heart. His speech was a gem and pleased the assemblage immensely. At the conclusion of his address the boys joined in singing "for he's a jolly good fellow." Speeches were also made by Rev. W. S. Brooks, Dc. R. S. Brown and James L. Curtis, Esq.

LITTLE, BUT OH, MY!
How a Low-Sized Lawyer Impressed
a Timid Servant with His
Laws
The following story is attributed to Senator Vest, says the Chicago Tribune:
"Before the war there was a lawyer in Independence, Mo, who was the counterpart in appearance of the picture of Pickwick, a brood of ducks. One day he nearly broke in the door of a residence by his vigorous use of the knocker. The disturbance was answered by a darky, who was frightened out of his boots as he opened the door. Where's your master? thundered the lawyer, and before the darky could answer the question, he opened the door. Then the darky replied that he was not in.
"I suppose not," thundered the lawyer again. Well, mind you, now, mind you, when he comes you tell him I want to see him—want to see him at once. Understand? Tell him J. Howey Hover, attorney at law, "With that Mr. Hovey turned and disappeared in a flutter. When the master came he asked his servant if anyone had called. The darky was still in his fright, and with his teeth chattering he replied. "Yes, sax. dar was a keen, funny-looking man. And I was told you dar Brown J. Hovey, de eternal Lord, want ter see you right away."

Proceedings of the Last Day of the Great Gathering-Adjourns
Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 22—Thursday was the great day and long before ten o'clock, the hour set for the reassembling of the convention, the hall filled with all the armies of people who besieged all the doors and entrances, clamoring for admission. When the doors were opened they surged in like a flood submerging the vast hall. The stage had been freshened with green grass and a flaming color, red peonies shot into the air. The band in the north gallery was at work early with insuring music. As the delegates debouched into the pit the utmost good nature was manifest. The crowd was a love feast, a jubilee and not a contest which the day was to fitness. Gov. E. Russell entered at exactly ten o'clock. He made a rush of it to day, but the not escape the keen eye of the sight and they set up a cheer at sight of him.
He was surrounded by the delegates when he reached the pit and showered with congratulations. He made no protestations or dissent, but smilingly rejoiced when he received the gate put his arms around the governor and whispered in his ear. All states were represented in the welcome, with Kansas, the indomitable Roosevelt pioneer, leading the demonstration. A few minutes later, the governor transected of Senator Hanna. His progress was impeded all the way down the aisle by delegates who insisted upon shaking his hand. He stopped a moment to chat with Senator Davis, a man when he reached the pit. He greeted where Roosevelt was holding a reception he pushed through the throng and greeted the rough rider warmly, even affectionately. With his hand upon Roosevelt's shoulder, he whispered in his ear, and then they remained thus in close communion.
Depew created a stir a little later, but it was Matthew Stanley Quay who around the shouts of the local crowd, Henry Cabot Lodge, the permanent chairman of the board, was an interesting conference of the leaders in full view of the vast audience. Joe Manley, Col. Dick, looking more like a poet than a soldier; Marian Hanna,Senior Vice President of the Mayor Ashbridge, Charles Emory Smith, John Lynch, the colored ex-congressman from Mississippi, and a score of others were busy perfecting the final plans for the band. At 19:20 the big band from Canton, O., the president's home, made its way into the hall from the west side and broke out with the pealing strains of the national anthem. The whole audience rose and stood until it was concluded. Through the pit a squad of men were busy distributing great stands of red, white and blue pomp plumes, which were to cut a big feature in the demonstration.
Called to Order.
AT 10:36 Chairman Lodge glanced at his watch and then with three rapes of the historic gavel stilled the tumult on the floor while the band ushered in the session with the national anthem. Senator Robert Reagan of the first to preside the entire audience following as the inspiring strains reverberated through the building. As the anthem closed the chairman announced the opening invocation by Archbishop Ryan. He presided before private wore the super purple robe of his high station, falling to his feet, and open in front showing the heavy chain and golden cross emblematic of his office. He paused until the assemblage had risen and bewed in a fervor. The voice rolled out a prayer filled with a sentiment of the deep responsibility resting upon the party here assembled. Senator Lodge called attention to Louisiana being inadvertently omitted from the presidential election and that was correct. Alabama also named its selections, having failed to do Wednesday. The chair then laid the rules offered Wednesday by Mr Quay unfinished business before the convention.
Quay Withdraws Amendment
As the cheers died away at the mention of Quay's name, the short and sturdy figure of the Pennsylvania arrose in the middle alley. In this voice, barely heard by the audience, he withdrawals of the amendment proposing a change in rules 1 and 12 referring to representation in national conventions. This was accepted by the southern delegates as a concession to them, and they attended the withdrawal of the amendment at the withdrawal of the proposition.
Now Mr. Lodge advanced to the front of the platform, and a thrill went through the vast audience as he announced:
"Under the rule, nominations for the office of president of the United States are made."
There was a momentary shout which the chairman punctured with: "The state of Alabama is recognized."
A tall and awarthy Alabaman stood on his chair and, by prearrangement, answered:
"Alabama yields to Ohio."
This was the signal for the recognition of Senator Poraker who was to make the speech nominating Mr. McKinley as the republican candidate for president. Then he began and a wild scene ensued.
Amidst a tumult of applause Senator Foraker went to the platform, and when quiet was restored began to speak, first thanked Alabama for her courtesy in yielding, but attributing that fact to the death of his wife, the date. As Mr. Foraker continued he was repeatedly interrupted with cheers. His announcement that the nomination of McKinley was equal to an election in November brought沥者 cheers.
This sentiment was received with cheers
from the delegates, while the gallery spectators shobk the building with their enthusiastic demonstration. Briefly Senator Poraker adverted to the record of the president in peace and in war as one of the most remarkable in American history.
Scene of Great Enthusiasm.
Scene of Great Enthusiasm.
At the reference to the great leader of the part, the successes already achieved by him and the successes carried forward by him, the applause was frequent and long-continued. But it remained for his closing sentence, for the reason that he was by name as the pominee, to electrify the great multitude Pandemonium broke loose. Former tempests of enthusiasm moved before this cyclone of sound and rage, which was wielded and yelled. State standards were wrenched from their places and borne aloft with umbrellas, great plumes of red, and blue, a perfect temperate sea of color.
Hannah Leads in Demonstration.
Senator Hannah Spring to the front of the stage, a flag in one hand and a plume in the other, and led in the tremendous applause. The audience was divided into minutes. Not content with their tense burial on the floor, the delegates now marched in solid ranks upon the platform with standards, plumes, banners, and a large flag. They had continued seven minutes the Ohio delegation, where centered the waves of sound; moved up the aisle, while all the other state delegations, bearing aloft their banners, pressed their attention about the hall. The demonstration lasted just ten minutes. The plume demonstration was followed by a grand doxology in the singing of "John Brown's rage" and a series of clapping, while the delegations led the singing. It was exactly 15 minutes when order was restored and Mrs. Lodge announced. "The chair recognizes Gov. Roosevelt of New York," she said.
Ovation to Roosevelt.
Again the magic of a name sent the multitude into convulsions of enthusiasm. All eyes were turned toward Rossetti. He stepped out into the alley and strode right, left, and back right or the left, and then turning and surveying the sea of waving cheering humanity, he stood his face grimly set without a smile. He made no acknowledgements, no salutations to the plaudits, but like a hero receiving his due, calmly awaited the subduition of the tumult. At the demonstration he demonstrated the demonstration came to an end.
The Governor's Address
Then day, Houselt began his speech, speaking in a clear full voice. His sentences were delivered in a manner that denoted a careful study of each word. His argumentative style kept the audience en rapport with him, and his emphasis attention by the vast audience, in fact very much more attention than had any other speaker. "It was not a great war. It did not have to be a great war," he said, anilining us out. "he said, anilining us out," he said, anilining us out. "he said, anilining us out." He responded with cheers and laughter. His allusions to the ice trust called forth the heartiest applause, with cries from the galeries of "hit em again" and "that's right, Teddy." "I pity the democratic drator in New York who mentions trust," he declared with uplifted hands and the audience howled with laughter and shook the floor
"The insurrection in the Philippines goes on because the insurrectional allies of the Tagalog in the island of Luzon," declared the governor, "and the militant if not material support." When he declared with brilliant emphasis that the success of the republican party in November meant peace to the Philippines, the opposition meant a prolongation of the struggle, the delegates and spectators rose almost as one man and cheered.
The losing words of the governor brought another demonstration, and for a minute it seemed that the convention would go mad and then and make two nominations instead of one. Plumer went up and stands on high. As the governor left the platform he waved a salutation to the moving throngs, and one in particular toward the radiant face of his wife sitting just outside the area of delicacy.
Narker of Kentucky Speaks.
Senator Lodge then recognized John W. Yerkes, of Kentucky, who arose to also second the nomination on behalf of the south. He asserted that no convention had ever been so unanimous for a man as was this man, who was the first time in many years a republican majority for William McKinley in 1866, and it was going to stay in the republican column, he said, and the audience cheered him. Mr. Yerkes is straight and tall Kentuckian, he is a strong voice, and his speech was heard all over the half.
Delegates Want to Vote.
When Mr. Yerkes had concluded he was given a salvo of applause that echoed and re-echoed through the great hall. As he turned to resume his seat on the platform, Senator Hanna rose and grinned as the instanty from the hall of the cary the "Vote," "vote," "vote." Delegates and spectators were becoming uneasy. They wanted action, not oratory. Disregarding the call for a vote Chairman organized George Knight, head of the California delegation. As he appeared upon the platform and addressed the convention his first sentence, ringing through the great building like a trumpet call, caught the fancy of the assemblage and he was cheered enthusiastically.
Gfx Mount on the Platform
"Vote, vote," came from the delegates as Mr. Knight concluded but the chairman stilled the oath and recognized Gov. Mount of Indiana, who in behalf of the Hoosier state seconded the nomination of McKinley. It was a glowing eulogium to the stateman-sophronist president. It was a message to the stateman who for definite results, and a humbling him spread through the hall as Gov. Mount spoke.
THE VOTING BEGINS
All the State Delegations Unanimous
for McKinley.
The revive listeners broke in with many demonstrations and calls of "vote," and Chairman Lodge was kept busy with his gavel trying to maintain sufficient order for the speaker to be heard. As he closed the convention, the chairman announced that the roll of states would be called for the vote on the nomination for president. At 12:37 the vote began for the presidential candidate. The galleries were noticeably attentive, attentive among the delegates until New York's vote was announced by Chairman Odell. This brought out a round of applause. When Pennsylvania's vote was announced by Senator Quay many of the delegates arose and were not content with casting their votes for McKinley, but the chairman announced the "vote which the candidate would receive in November. At the call of Hawaii the delegation announced the nomination of the new possession of the two votes for McKinley.
The tally clerks quickly made the official summary and handed it to the chart.

It is a unanimous vote and the chairman de- nominees for the presidency for the term beginning March 4, 1900." "Now again pandemonium broke loose in one swelling chorus of enthusiasm for the new canvass. Up stood the great audience, men and women, mingling their shouts and their frantic demonstration. The band played Halie Round the Club of Chicago marched down the able, preceded by New York and followed by Pennsylvania.

wrote in a letter to the delegation that Alabama would yield to Iowa to preside over the election of Col. Lafe Young, one of the Iowa delegates at large, and editor of the Des Moines (13.) Capital. Col. Young was in Cuba at the time he led a giant rough riffle up San Juan hill, and his reference to the governor's campaign was eloquent and touching.
The demonstration which followed the announcement of Col. Young. Gov. Roosevelt as the candidate of the young men of the country, who represented their desires and their ambitions and embodied their patriotism and Americanism, was not second to that accorded the president's official print of the received 93% votes, onevention not voting. The president was not voting from voting with the New Chairman Lodge's and Chairman Lodge's and vice president evoked a sense of pride in building to its foundation. Gov. Roosevelt, now vice president, was surprised, showing congruity.

The vast assemblage sprang to its feet and state emblems, pampus plumes, handkerchiefs and hats fairly filled the air. The band in the main gallery began to play the national anthem, "To Right," and to the tespiring strains the delegates began marching around the ball, filing past Gov. Roosevelt as he sat in the New York delegation and extending to him their congratulations. In the procession of standards after the nomination of Roosevelt was one of the first ceremonies, a sentiment him with a big bunch of roses, for

which Gov. Roosevelt returned a profound bow. Several of the Kansas delegates removed their beautiful silk sunflower badges, and threw them upon Gov. Roosevelt during the march of the delegates. It was an inspiring demonstration. Mrs. Roosevelt looked down upon it from her position of chair, and was happy as paper, but appeared smiling and happy. The demonstration continued for six minutes and 40 seconds, during which time Gov. Roosevelt received the congratulations of the Kansas delegates. Like a bronze statue, so impervious was be Depew Makes a Witty Speech.
Senator Depew brought out a storm of mingled laughter and applause. He pictured "Teddy" as the child of Fifth avenue, the cultured product of Harvard, the cowboy of the plains, the vitalizing force in marshaling the American ships to oversee the Kansas, the impetuous national at Santiago and San Juan, and the idolized governor of the Empire state. He pictured too, the "gude" becoming a "cowboy," the "cowboy" becoming a soldier, brine the knight, and the hero, blade in hand, in the press of battle, shouting "Give em, belt, boys."

His sarcastic references to the Kansas City convention and the Iowa convention him round after round of applause. His closing period, declaring that Roosevelt's choice would be unanimous, touched on a whirl of excitement ("I'll go," "Roosevelt" came from all quarters of the hall. The governor sat unmoved, fanning himself desperately, and shaking his head negatively at the calls for his appearance. It appearing that there would be no other candidates.
It took some minutes to restore order, chairman Lodge vigorously pounding his fist, and the rest of the partial order was restored, and the roll call proceed, each delegation as called casting their votes for Roosevelt unanimously. The roll call delegates and spectators, resulting that the convention's action would be unanimous, chatted and laughed until the resultant of the noise was like the roar of a sullen sea on a rocky

When the sun is pounding down its rays upon the ocean at noonday, none of them penetrate to a depth of over 200 feet. Could a diver descend to that depth he would find himself shrouded in darkness as probud as though he were immersed in a sea of ink.
The cotton acreage this year will be the largest on record and will not fall far short of 26,000,000 acres. Cotton raisers also expect good prices, for last year's crop in India was almost a total failure, ours was small, and the present Egyptian crop is not promising.
Severity of hemlock bark is reported to have caused the almost total extinction of the once prosperous tanning industry in Maine. Though there is a large growth of hemlock in the state, it is so far from practicable tannery sites that the cost of hauling probibits its use.
Fire alarm boxes in New York are being coated with luminous paint in order that they may be easily located at night. The paint is made of white zinc. In some parts of New York, where there is little light, the alarm boxes can be distinguished at a distance of ten blocks.
The Boston board of health has classed tuberculosis as contagious, and requires reports from physicians of cases of the disease. In the past five years deaths from consumption in Boston have been about double the combined mortality from scarlet fever, diphtheria and typhoid fever.
Swainburne is deaf as a poet. He lives in a somewhat somber-looking house at Putney hill, the dining-room walls of which are covered with original pictures by Dante Gabriel Rosetti, which must be worth a fabulous sum. The famous poet is bald, with a thin, straggling, reddish beard, and has beautiful hands.
Mlle. Marguerite Cassini, daughter of the Russian ambassador to the United States, is the only woman in the diplomatic corps who handles her own automobile and she rides around Washington at a pace that causes consternation among her friends. She has a costume designed especially for mobile riding. It has a skirt of cream-colored cloth with a white silk waist, and one of the Ladysmith hats.
The mental collapse of Munkaye, the Hungarian painter, began with his picture of Mozart on his deathbed listening to the strains of his "Reque'm." Munkaye insisted on having an invisible orchestra behind his canvas, and often remained for hours together in a state of apparent ecstasy. His dintinguished fellow-countyman, Dr. Max Nordau, soon perceived that the symptoms were grave, if not incurable.
Ignace J. Paderewski, the Polish pianist, has the most valuable pair of hands in the world. When he sailed from New York recently he carried with him a check for $171,081, a portion of the earnings of his hands in the tour which he made through the United States in the season just closed. The total receipts for the trip amounted to $260,000. Deducting from this $60,000 for traveling expenses Paderewski carried away with him a net profit of $200,000.
Annie Trueheart Dillion, a pretty Kiowa girl, about 14 years old, daughter of Black Wolf, a noted chief of his tribe, is sole heiress to the entire fortune of $1,000,000 and more left by John Dillion, a rich cattle man, who about seven years ago was saved from death at the hands of a half-breed assassin by this little girl. The girl's education is to be begun at once under the supervision of the bishop of Monterey.
Traveling incognito and attended only by a lady in waiting, the Princess Aribert, of Anhalt, eldest daughter of her royal highness, the Princess Christian, and granddaughter of Queen Victoria, arrived in New York on the Majestic the other evening. The Princess Aribert is here as a tourist, solely for pleasure, and has preferred to remain incognito. She will visit the national capital and Canada. Her present intention is to return home in July.
SCHOOL AND CHURCH.
There are more than 100,000 children in the national schools of Germany who stutter.
There are 139 different religious denominations in the United States, 149, 868 ministers, 189,488 churches and 27,714,523 communicals.
Nearly every week, says the Boston Christian Register, we see in our contemporaries some reference to the "dead line" in the ministry. This talk about the dead line creates it. The most effective preachers in all churches, as a rule, are men past 50 years of age.
The collections of star fishes and sea urchins belonging to the museum of the University of Michigan are being arranged in a case on the second floor of the museum building.
Although not large the collection contains some interesting and valuable specimens.
One of the peculiar arguments which lately came to our notice, says the Boston Watchman, was that of a member of a pulpit committee of a church which in all its history has never kept a pastor more than four years. He objected to calling a minister 50 years old, because he feared that at the end of 15 or 20 years he would be worn out. The movement to ameliorate the condition of the discharged convict is rapidly gaining ground in England. St. Giles Christian mission, London, gave 21,224 discharged prisoners last year their first meal out of prison, finding work for 5,908 who were willing to accept it. In the last 22 years this association of Christian men and women has helped 361,000 prisoners after their liberation.
The University of the South, at Swansea, Tenn., has placed its 9,000-acre tract of hardwood timber near that town under the management of the division of forestry. An official of the division will mark all trees to be cut, and will draw up the logging contracts to provide for the preservation of young growth. It is intended to make the forest yield a permanent annual revenue to go towards the support of the college.
A BUFFALO DUEL.
In Whlen the Old Monarch of the Herd Is Overthrown by a Younger Member.
In his paper on "The National Zoo at Washington," in the Century, Ernest Seton-Thompson describes a duel between two buffalo bulls.
"The buffalo herd had so far reverted to a native state that the old bull ruled for several years, much as he would have done on the plains. He was what the keeper called 'not a bad boss,' that is, he was not malicious in his tyranny. One of the young bulls made an attempt to resist him once, and had to be punished. The youngster never forgot or forgive this, and a year or so later, feeling himself growing in strength, he decided to risk it again. He advanced toward the leader, John L., and shoo's his head up and down two or three times, in a style recognized among buffalo as a challenge. The big fellow was surprised, no doubt. He gave a warning shake, but the other would not take warning. Both charged, but, to the old bull's amazement, the young one did not go down. What he lacked in weight he more than made up in agility. Both went at it again, now desperately. After two or three of these terrific shocks the old one realized that he had not now his old-time strength and wind. As they pushed and parried, the young bull managed to get under the other, with a tremendous heave, actually pitched his huge body up into the air and dashed him down the hillside. Three times the old bull was thus thrown before he would yield, and then he sought to save his life by flight. But they were not now on the open plains; the pen was limited, and the victor was of a most ferocious temper. The keepers did what they could, but stout ropes and fences interposed were no better than straws. The old bull's body was at last left on the ground with 63 gashes, and his son reigned in his stead. This is one of the melancholy sides of animal life—the weak to the wall, the aged down by the young. It has happened millions of times on the plains, but perhaps was never before so exactly rendered for human eyes to see."
A FLORAL NOSEBLEED.
The Valgar Name of a Beautiful Flower Known as the Trillium.
Why speak of the lovely painted trilliums, with their three daintily crinkled petals, streaked with rose-purple? says Bradford Torrey, in the Atlantic. One after another I gathered them (pulled them, to speak with poetic literalness), each fresher and handsomer than the one before it, till the white stems made a handful.
"Oh," said a man on a hotel pizza,
as I returned. "I see you have nosebleed."
I was putting my hand to my pocket, wondering why I should have been taken so childishly, when it came over me what he meant. He was looking at the trilliums, and explained, in answer to a question, that he had always heard them called nosebleed. Somewhere, then, I omitted to inquire where, this is their "vulgar" name. In Franconia the people call them "Bemjamins," which has a pleasant Biblical sound—better than nosebleed, at all events—though to my thinking, trillium is preferable to either of them, both for sound and for sense. People cry out against "Latin names." But why is Latin worse than Hebrew? And who could ask anything prettier or easier than trillium, geranium, anemone and hepatica?
Handwriting Expert
"No," declared the defendant, "I couldn't have signed that note, because I can't write."
"Not even your name?" asked the prosecuting attorney.
"No. I just make my mark."
"Well, let's see you do that on this piece of paper." The defendant took the pen and made a crude X. Then above it he wrote "his" and below it "mark."—Philadelphia Press.
A Compliment That Failed.
Fond Mother—Johnhole, didn't I tell you that I would spank you if you did that again?
Johnnie—Yes, mother, you did; but I didn't believe that a woman as kind-hearted as you are would be cruel enough to do it.—Somerville Journal.

“I this hope proposal of mine has not taken you completely by surprise, dearest?” “Well, yes, it has. I long ago abandoned all idea of it.”—Detroit Journal.
Loves His Fellow Men.—Switcher—“The new superintendent of the trolley road is a very humane man.” Ringer—“Is he?” Switcher—“Yes; he says he will run an ambulance behind every car.”—Boston Bazar.
“My wife is a very good cook.” “Oh, come, now! Her mother told me she was just taking her first lessons when you married her.” “Exactly, which proves she is very good not to continue the lessons on me.”—Philadelphia Press.
"One more kiss," pleaded the departing lover. "Here!" cried her father, who was the manager of a continuous performance house, "your act is limited to 25 minutes, and you are already ten minutes overtime!"—Philadelphia North American.
A young Irish lad on a market day in an Irish town was minding a donkey attached to a cart and had his arm around the neck of the animal when two recruiting sergeants passed. One of them, in an endeavor to be funny, said: "What are you hugging your brother so tightly for?" "Cause," was the rejoinder, "I was afraid he'd list." Evening Wisconsin. Neither Gets Them. "You seem to have a great taste for poetry," remarked the copyhook, observing the office goat sniffing around the editor's waste basket. "Yes," replied the goat, "but I like my poems well done, and I seldom find that sort here." "Huh!" exclaimed the copyhook, "the well-done poem that comes to me is very rare." Philadelphia Press.
HEARING BY SIGHT.
A New System of Lip Reading Thin
In Meeting with Much Favor
The latest method by which deaf people can communicate with their fellow beings is the "hearing by sight," a science better known as "lip reading." The system has been introduced into England and America, and has met with much favor by those who have had an opportunity to test its value, says the New York Tribune. An English expert in this line of instruction has stated that lip reading can even be practiced with facility by the blind, who become expert in the art. The individual learns to understand what is said by watching the lips of the speaker, and the blind accomplish this by holding the fingers lightly over the mouth of the speaker, whose conversation they can readily follow. This is one system practiced by Helen Kellar, who is deaf and blind, and until taught by Miss Sullivan to articulate was also dumb.
Lip reading, speech and writing are taught simultaneously by the system, and all signs or finger alphabets are done away with, as they have been found to hinder progress along new lines. The pupil endeavors to forget any previously used systems of communication and gives undivided attention to lip reading. The speaker does not need to expend any extra effort to speak distinctly in order that the deaf person may follow the motions of the lips, and exaggerated attempts to pronounce carefully result in grimaces that hamper the "hearer's" efforts to understand what is being said. Those who are placed under instruction during their youth acquire the system with much greater facility than units of maturer years.
The claim is made that hereafter the deaf who have studied lip reading will be enabled to mingle freely in society, and with one exception that the person who is "hearing by sight" must face the speaker, no bar to intelligent conversation on the part of the deaf will exist.
No Wisdom from Experience.
The Toper smiled sadly. "Yes, evidently care killed the cat, and of course has more lives than the cat. I have drowned any number of cats, but I find I cannot drown care. However, there's nothing like perseverance."—Syracuse Herald.
One on Murphy.
Jones—The police came in while Murphy was trying to beat up his wife last night.
Smith—Did they take him to the station house?
"No; to the hospital."—Detroit Free Press.

Marble is entirely out of date, granite soon gets mossgrown, discolored, requires constant and intense care, and eventually crumbles back. Marble is hard to bleed, it is very expensive.
White Bronze is strictly everlasting. It cannot mold growth is an impossibility. It is more artistic than any stone. Then why not investigate it? It has been adopted as the material for many investments, and be the models of delighted customers in all parts of the country. It has been on the market over twenty years and is an established success. We have designs for it, but we write at one for free design and information. It puts you under no obligations. We deal direct and deliver everywhere.

Umation, In spite of an earnest effort

‘es, but with no avail. The New York
Griegation met, and, out of deference to
the Rovernor's desires, Indorsed the can-
ciisey Of Ldeut. Gov. Woodrutt, of New
York. Yet" the delegates insisted upon
Roowevelt. Wednesday the rival candl-
jates agreed to place thelr fate in. the
hands of Senator Hanna and abide by his
veviston. Latte Wednesday afternoon Me.
Hania issued a statement in which he
jvclared that the administration had had
© favorite for second place, and had al
‘ong insisted that the selection of & can-
date should be left entirely to the con-
vention. However, the candidates had
alled upon him to decide what was best
10 do, and after a thorough canvass of
‘he situation, and in deference to the
<crong sentiment in {ayor of Gov. Roose-
velt, he felt that, as President McKinley
would be ‘renominated without a dissent-
ing voice, the nomination of Gov. Roose-
velt should be made with the same
unanimity. There is little doubt but this
will be done to-day (Thursday) and the
convention will then adjourn. Gov. Roose-
velt declared, after reading Senator Han-
a's statement, that he had done all he
could to prevent his nomination, and he
would have nothing more to say. It ts
the universal bellef that he will accept.
‘THE OPENING SESSION.
Se ncaa ere ee eee ae
Philadelphia. June 20.—Chatrman Hanna
rorveyed an Imposing spectacle when he
called the twelfth republlean national
fonvention to osder in the Export ex-
position building in West Philadelphia
01238 Tuesday. Pully 15,000 men and
women were present.
Just before Chatman Hanna was ready
to drop his gavel, Gov. Roosevelt entered
ind the vast audience was electrified. He
Hulked In-at the main door. The ap-
flavse that announced his appearance
wept over the vast amphitheater and
suellod Mt 4 great roar as he made his
say towards the seats of the New York
Gciegation. Fully two minutes it took
for him to traverse the length of the hail
to his place near the stage. AM that
time the roar followed him and the hand-
kirchiefs rose and fell like the wings of
fulls over « summer sea.
Convention Called to Order.
Chairman Hanna at 12:35 called the con-
vention to order, The prayer was then
Ofered. Col, Dick then stepped forward
Sud read the formal call for the conven=
tion After the feading of the call Mr,
Jianna delivered the address of welcome.
He saldeno mistake bad been made in
ringing the convention to. Philadelphia.
Mr_ Hanna. went on: “Here was. the
Giadie of Mberty, the birthplace of the
republic. Here also bad the republican
party seen Its birth, and here, too, was
the center of that great, throbbing idea~
the protection of American Industry."
'h wave of applause swept over the con-
vention at the mention of the protective
principle, and as it subsided Mr. Hanna
Procecded: “We are on the eve of an-
Uther great struggle. Already we are be-
Sisning to form our battalions, under the
Teadership of our great statesman—Gen,
William MeKiniey.”
MeKinley’s Name Cheeréd. ©
‘That was the signal, and for the frst
time the convention broke forth {na
whirlwind of enthusiasm. Mén and
women sprang to thelr feet, delegates,
spectators, staid and distinguished guests,
Sil animated by common purpose to do
jonor to the president. Flags and hand~
kerchlefs waved everywhere In billows of
color. For a minute the demonstration
kept up, and then, with a wave of the
hand, the national chalrman bade the
Asemblage restime thelr seats and Jet
bim proceed.
As Mr. Hanna closed his speech with
trate to hie colleagues on the national
‘ommittee, and a reference to the close
© his chairmanship, he spoke of the
Herling service of the senator from Col
fade, Mr. Wolcott, to his party, and
resented him to the convention as tem-
brary chaleman.
Wolcott's Addveas.
‘The address of Senator Wolcott, which
followed, lasted an hour and ten minutes.
Senator ‘Wolcott aroused unbounded en-
thuslaem. “When with outstretched arm
he predicted the triumphant election of
the republican ticket In. November. the
audience surrendered, and when be first
mentioned President McKinley's name he
could Hot proceed for 4 minute owing to
the demonstration.
‘As he reheursetl the history of the four
years of republican admintstration, the
Bronperity ‘which had blewed i, the vic~
tories itghad won, the glorious outcome
of the Shanish-American war, the cam-
palgn of misrepresentation in connection
with the Philippines which ite enemies
had’ inaugurated and which it had met,
the convention repeatedly broke Into ap:
viause. .
When he said that the old issue of the
cemocrats was dead and that they were
Sriven to find new iasues ina war which
they had been most anxious to precip
tate, the convention cheered, but the
outburst was even greater when he de-
Slared that the division among the re-
pablieans of the east and the wert on
the financial ime was a thing of the
vast and that those who had left the
party four years ago in the west were re-
turning on the issue of expansion. ‘The
first mention of expansion was also fhe
signal for a demonstration. Probably the
greatest demonstration occurred when he
Said that we would establish law and or-
Grr in the Philippines, and that the last

‘hakes from those about him, and then
turned to the business of the conven-
hon, announcing the long list of secre-
tures and officials previously agreed
pon
‘The chairman recognized Gov. W. 8.
Toslor, of Kentucky, and called him to
the platform. The much-discusred man
from Kentucky moved up the middie alsie
to the platform, receiving a cheer as Sen-
Sor Woleott advanced to greet him. Gov.
‘Tivlor ‘seconded the nominations of the
‘arouse officials who had been announced.

THE STORY TELLER
SONG OF UNKNOWN HEROES.
Let me sing a song for the hero
Who fell unnamed, unknown—
The common soldier, lying
Beneath no costly stone—
Who fough the whereof was strongest
And, after the day was done,
Was merely among "the missing
Nine hundred and sixty-one."
Let me sing a song for the hero
Who knelt at the rail to pray
While the boats with the weeping women
And children were rowed away—
Who, being a man and gitted
With the strength God gives to men,
Was one and a hundred sailors"
Who will nee er tread decks again.
Let me sing a song for the hero
We weary, wad, wan, wasn-
Wilde the gloe and the wounded against him-
bear the brave, veloy on-
Who, robbed of earth's pleasant pleasures-
Could smile as he wrought away,
And lies with the unnamed millions
Awitting the Judgment Day.
L' me sing the song of the heroes
And clank the brave
And my song shall be of the brave
That Death and the grave 'e'er claimed!
And my song shall live the longest
At the brave song of the heroes
And still she song of heroes
When the last sad knelt is rung!
- S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Times-Herald.
THE girl in the Broadway flower
girl to the girl with the waxy
chestnut hair and the very white hands
that are acutely observed and mentally
plauced when she pins the blithe car-
nation to the masculine coat lapel-
lapsed in a reverry of words the other
afternoon.
"I do feel so sorry for men som-
times," she said, in a tone that was
not at all sorrowful. "The poor things
are so very amusing and yet so unco-
sciously pathetic that—well, do you
know, I often think that few of them,
saving your presence—nothing per-
sonal—are, what d'yce call it—exactly
right—all there—correctly adjusted—
properly geared—on straight—"
"For why?"
"O. they do such funny things, and
they are such very, very easy money.
My little brother taught me that, and
I can't help it. They are so extremely
tractable before, you know, and, from
what I hear, so utterly fractions after,
that I is a wonder to me they—"
"Before and after what?"
"Why, the church affair of 'Lohengrin' music, weeps and rice, of course. True, I only know of the fractioniness of the after from hearsay, but I have been here for two years, and I do know the trustableness of the before like I don't know my catechism. O, they are so dead easy!" and the flower shop girl with the wavy chestnut hair picked up a loose tucked of the same and deflytucked it behind her left ear.
"All of them, you know, are more or less mentally unhungled during the before stage," she went on. "But a man who came in here during the noon hour on a day a couple of weeks ago—I waited on him, for the proprietor and all of the girls except myself had gone for lunch—had about the worst case of
"ALL RIGHT, ILL TAKE THEM."
it I've yet seen. He was such a sensible, fine-looking man, too—a giant from the west, with a bronzeed face and that fine prairie way of talking, like he knew he wasn't in church and didn't have to whisper or mumble his words—so many New York men do that dreadfully nowadays, don't they? —and big, strong hands, and that sombrero style of dress that makes you think of the Harry Castlemon and Ned Buntline stories that you read when you were little.
"Well, he walked up to the counter like a man does when he goes into a cigar store, and his eye caught sight of the bunch of bride roses that I was awdilling up with white ribbon.
"How much are those?" he asked me.
"Fifteen dollars a dozen." I told him.
"How many dozen just like that have you got in the shack?" he inquired.
"About ten dozen." I replied.
"All right—I'll take 'em,' he said, and then he began to look at the other flowers. When he saw a vase of American Beauty roses as big as double chrysanthemums he asked me: 'What is the figure for these?'
"Two dollars aplcee," I told him.
"Put about 50 of 'em with the others,' he said.
"Then he came to the tray of violets.
"How much?" he inquired.
"Do lar a hundred," said I.
"Got plenty of them?"
"Tnousands."
"I'll take about 2,000 of 'em,' he said.
"Anything else?" I asked him.
"Well, I don't know," he said, rubbing his chin like a man in a quandary. "What do you think?"
"Well," I said, "you're already bought quite a few flowers, you know. What is it to be—dinner, five o'clock ten, ball, reception, wedding."
"No, no, no, not a wedding—not just yet, anyhow," he said, hurriedly, blushing like a big schoolboy. "Later, maybe. Hope so," and for a moment he looked so awkward and sheepish that I felt sorry for him. Then he shook himself together again.
"No, it's not any of those things you mention," he went on, in a confidential tone. "I just want to send some flowers up to her house, you know. I'm only back here from the ranch on a visit, you understand. Well, while I was up at her house
I last night, two or three bunches of flowers came to her from young snipes of Willie boys she seems to have become acquainted with since I went away. It struck me then that I hadn't thought: to send her any flowers—outfits are too far apart for that kind of thing out in the cattle country, and there's nothing but prairie flowers, anyhow, and so a fellow gorgers, you see. And so I only want to send her a few flowers—' "A 'few'!' said I, and I really couldn't help laughing. ' "Why, what's the matter?" said the poor man, with an apprehensive look on his big, good matured face. 'Haven't I picked out enough-'
"O, quite enough," said I, "and just the right kind, too," and just then the proprietor came in, and the big man from the west handed him a $500 bill. The flowers were sent up to the home of a debentate of last senson, in a special wagon. The announcement of the engagement was made a few days later. Now, didn't he need a guardian? Don't they all need guardians? Goodness gracious me, I do so pity the poor things!" and the girl wilt the wavy chestnut hair again belied the pity she said she felt by her smiles.
"And what do you think of a man who sends flowers, and beautiful ones, too to his wife every day in the year? Sundays and holidays included," she went on, matching a heliotrope orchid with a piece of heliotrope ribbon. "Well, we have such a customer. He first came in here a little over a year ago, and ordered an expensive box of flowers to be sent to the home of a lady who lives across from the park, and who had 'Mrs. prefixed to her name. After that he dropped in, rain, snow or shine, every day, and selected a beautiful lot of flowers to be sent to the same 'Mrs.' He, of course, never had any occasion to give his own name, and, of course, none of us in the store dreamed that he was sending the flowers to his wife. So hopelessly improbable, that, you know. All of us girls decided that he was a bachelor, or widower—he was a middle-aged man—cultivating the good graces of an attractive widow, probably wealthy, and we wondered if she were good looking and all that. One day, after he had been sending her flowers regularly for seven months, he failed to come in, and so the proprietor sent up a handsome basket of flowers to the address of 'Mrs.' anyhow. The next day he came in.
"My wife was a trifle indisposed yesterday," he said to the proprietor, and, of course, I could not leave her. I thoroughly appreciate your sending the flowers without my ordering them, and so does my wife."
"The proprietor looked at him in rather a puzzled sort of way.
"Had I but known at the time of your wedding—" he began.
"Wedding," said the regular customer. "I don't believe I quite—"
"Surely, your marriage has been quite recent?" the proprietor said, and then an exceedingly well-bred chuckle came from our regular customer.
"I'll give you the order to decorate our house when we celebrate our silver wedding early next year," he said, between very broad smiles, and then he went out. He has been in every day since with his orders for flowers for his wife, and—"
"And, therefore, presumably stands in need of a guardian?"
"Have I not just been telling you that he is married? And then the poor sillies—I mean the young ones in the before stage again—d'ye know they really and truly believe the girls when the girls tell 'em that they 'press every flower you send me in my copy of Tennyson." Actually believe every word of it, they do! They never stop to think that no volume of Tennyson **big** as the Doomsday book has ever been published, 'How'll they press?' is the question that lots of the poor, deluded things ask me when they are picking out roses to be be sent to the onliest ones. O, so easy!—"N. Y. Sun.
He Knew About George.
The American youngster is the pride and joy of his parents and his country. A typical specimen is "Jack" Richards, aged eight, son of the solicitor general of the United States and Mrs. John K. Richards. While his parents and he were being shown through the beautiful country seat of Hampton Court, in England, in company with a high English nobleman, little Jack was playing about and learning a great many lessons. The custodian was telling his usual tales, and in the vinery he pointed out a vine planted by George III. He explained that the grapes from that particular specimen were reserved for the queen herself, and that no lesser personage tasted them. Turning, with a patronizing air, to Young American, who was gazing at the vine, he said: "I suppose you do not know who George III. was?"
"Oh, yes. I do; he was the George that fought our George; but our George licked him, and licked him good."—Margaret B. Downing, in Success.
Motherly Solitude
A woman employed at a Yorkshire factory took her five-year-old boy to the hospital and asked the surgeon to look at his hand. By some freak of nature his finger and thumb had interlocked, causing him great pain at times. "Why didn't you come here earlier, my good woman?" said the surgeon, in a tone of sharp reprimanda. "The little chap has evidently been suffering from this extraordinary defect since the day of his birth. If you had brought him soon after he was born I might have done something for him, but I very much fear I cannot now." The woman, aware that she was sadly to blame, but loth to take the full responsibility, im:mediately turned upon her unfortunate offspring. "Dost ta hear what the gentleman says. Tommy?" she cried. "The ought to 'ave mentioned it five years sin'. Oh've no patience wi' folk 'at suffer an' say nowt." — London Spare Moments.

OUT OF CHICAGO ON A WAY FREIGHT TRAIN
There is a rich, productive country surrounding Chicago, peopled by a
ago, peopled by a prosperous people who demand much of the good things of life, and for these things they look to Chicago to supply.
+
The western metropolis is a veritable supply depot for a great territory, a territory that in some lines of merchandise extends to practically the civilized world. While its great
From the Cupola of civilized world. a Way Car. While its great manufacturing concerns are supplying the world with their products, its wholesale houses are finding profitable trade within the immediate surrounding territory. To these houses the commercial traveler who makes the small cities and villages within 100 miles or so of the city bring in the orders from which the profits are realized. Collectively these orders call for a vast quantity of merchandise. Some idea of the business of Chicago may be had from the fact that no less than 2,500 cars of merchandise are shipped out of the city every day in the year. This merchandise is scattered to points far and wide, but much of that which is carried on the outbound way freights goes to points that are almost within the boundaries of the city.
There is no better way to study the commercial relations of Chicago with the surrounding territory than a trip aboard one of these way freights. From the cupola of the way car one can see many things of interest, and it was from such a point of vantage on a Northwestern line way freight that I studied the conditions in what might be termed the suburbs of Chicago a few days ago. It was not a long ride, only 92 miles, from Chicago to Rockford, but in that distance I saw many things that interested me, and that tend to prove the importance and rapid growth of Chicago.
Loyal to Its Local Merchante.
Does the department store of the city kill the business of the suburban
erry but the busin merchant? is a question that has agitated students of social economy for just so long a time as the department store has existed. On my way freight trip I found a new argument for the negative side of the controversy.
BANK BRIDGE
Oak Park is one of the best of Chicago's Speaks Well for suburbs. It is a Their Loyalty. pretty little city of some 8,000 people, lying just west of the city limits. From the center of the suburb to the shopping district of Chicago is a ride of about 40 minutes, which may be made for a five-cent fare on the elevated railroad. Goods purchased of the department stores in the city will be delivered free of charge to the residents of the suburb.
It is a residence and not a manufacturing suburb; so far as I know there is not a factory of any kind within its limits, and yet the freight receipts of the Northwestern road at that point run from $10,000 to $12,000 per month. This is for freight on goods consumed within the homes of Oak Park. It is an average of nearly $1.50 in freight charges per month for every man, woman and child in the suburb, and is in addition to the amount of goods transported by the wagon express companies that make daily trips to and from the city for the transporting of such freight as they can get to carry. That these lines of express carry a great quantity of goods is evidenced from the fact that they exist, for their charges are small.
Such a record as this either speaks well for the loyalty of the residents of Oak Park for their local merchants, or else refutes the oft-repeated assertion that all the retail business of the large cities is being concentrated in the department stores, and so cheapening the real estate on the business streets in the suburbs.
Beautiful Suburban Homes. Another thing that is liable to impress one when studying conditions
from the cupola of a way car is the manner in which the suburbanites of Chicago live. To the resident of the city, cooped up as he is in a few rooms in an apartment building, the beautiful places maintained by the suburbanites is a glimpse into Paradise.
A Chicago Suburban Home
Riding west for some 30 miles one
some 30 miles one passes these beautiful homes. They are surrounded by trees, with spacious lawns, and charming rustic seats that look unusually inviting in the early springtime.
At a little station just beyond Oak Park my train stopped, as way freights have a way of doing, and there were unloaded from one of the long string of box cars two mowing machines. I had not yet seen what seemed to be the end of Chicago, and it seemed strange to see this agricultural machinery being unloaded within the bounds of the city. To satisfy my curiosity I asked the station agent if he knew what they were intended for, and if they were purchased by farmers.
"These two are for lawn mowers." he replied. "They are for two gentlemen living on the banks of the river over there."
The two homes for which these mowers were intended were typical of many of the suburban homes of that neighborhood. There were ten acres in the grounds surrounding each of them. It was laid out in tennis courts, in croquet grounds, in broad lawns, in golf courses, with an abundance of natural shade trees everywhere. The two men who owned these places are not classed among the rich of Chicago, and yet their homes bespoke pleasures of which the rich of the city are in ignorance. It would certainly need a mowing machine to keep such places in the perfect order in which I saw them.
Boom to Grow
Along the line of the Northwestern suburban towns, practically a part of
suburban towns. Chicago, stretch from the city limits of Elgin, 40 miles away. Everyone of these towns have a railroad and some have half a dozen of them, with a countless number of suburban trains in the city daily.

ing land, the for- Crops Between the tenuate owners of Rows of Trees. which have fortunes within their grasp, and fully realize their opportunities. Some day these farms will give way to a continuous city that will cover this 40 miles of territory, but until the time is ripe for the sale of town lots the wise farmers prefer to hold their property as farming land.
As farming land they are required to pay taxes on a valuation of from $75 to $100 per acre. If a subdivision had been announced, and the property put on the market in town lots the valuation would be doubled many times. But while the subdivision of these farms has not been announced yet, the work of such a subdivision has been practically completed. Streets have been laid out by the planting of long double rows of young trees, which will add much to the value of the property within a few years. Between these rows of trees roadways are being built, and in the blocks formed by this process there are planted crops of corn, of wheat, of oats and other agricultural products, and the man who plants them is the typical farmer with his Blue jeans trousers, his broad-brimmed straw hat, and his cowhide boots. In another decade he will be living a life of ease from the proceeds of the sale of his land.
When one stops to think of the wonderful growth of the city of Chicago:
the city of Chicago; of its being the second city in America, and with a history of but threescore years behind it, and then when one looks at the rapidly-growing suburban towns that are fast closing the gaps between themselves and the city, one can easily picture the city of Chicago before the close of another century.

The farms which are to-day being platted into city lots, and which will bring to their fortunate owners the wealth of a millionaire, are in many cases the homeesteads filed upon by the owners of to-day but little more than half a century ago, and in some cases less.
An old man of 80 years, living but 18 miles from the business district of Chicago, holds the title to 160 acres of land which he has refused $2,000 per acre for, and which in less than ten years from now will be worth double that price. He secured the land which will make of him a rich man when he sells it from the United States government as a homestead claim when Chicago could hardly be classed as even a village, and when he first settled upon it the Indians begged food and tobacco of him at his cabin door. The old man still farms his land, and says that he will continue to do so as long as he is able to see to it properly. He enjoys his farm, and will not sell until he can no longer till his land.
The day is soon coming when Chicago will stretch as far west as it now does north and south, and will be a city of about 30 miles square, with the greatest population in this country. That it will soon include all of Cook county is a recognized fact, and then will come a demand for the annexation of adjoining counties.

Much Like Demosthenes.
"Woman," he said, "really ought to be a better orator than man."
"Why so?" she asked.
"Because," he replied, "to a certain extent at least she follows the methods of that famed orator, Demosthenes."
"In what way?" she inquired, still busy with the finishing touches of her toilet.
"You remember," he answered, "that Demosthenes used to practice talking with his mouth full of pebbles."
She hastily took the pins out of her mouth and informed him that he was a mean old thing anyway.—Chicago Post.

OVERAWED THE STRIKERS.
Thompson Showed Them That He Was a Dead Shot and Vio- lence Ceased.
"Whenever I read of strike riots," said a civil engineer recently, according to the New York Sun, "I recall a small one that I witnessed years ago which was an object lesson. This strike was ordered in a big coal yard on the lower west side of town, which was owned by a friend of mine whom I may call Thompson. Thompson was not a big man, but he was an expert revolver shot. It was his pet fad and he spent a lot of time and burned much powder to perfect himself in it. He could hit coins thrown in the air and do all the well-known tricks with a revolver. In his coal yard were employed 25 or 30 husky coal handlers and when they were ordered on strike they started in to make trouble at once.
"Thompson engaged a new gang of men and sent them round to his yard, but they were beaten off by the strikers. Several very serious assaults occurred there on the first day of the trouble and Thompson was warned to stay away if he valued his life. He sent back word that they might expect him early the next morning and that he wanted to see air of the strikers in his yard to talk to them. The gang assumed that this meant capitulation on his part and they celebrated accordingly. Thompson invited me to go to the yard with him next morning and see the fun. We found the strikers there to a man. They looked confident. Thompson told the men to stand at one side of the yard. They obeyed, wondering what he proposed to do. He stepped over to the side of a big shed and with a piece of chalk drew roughly the outlines of a man. Walking back about 50 feet he said to the strikers:
"I understand that you have handled some men pretty roughly in this neighborhood and you threatened to do me up if I didn't yield. Now, I am not that sort of a man. You follows have made a mistake. I came here this morning to settle this matter and I am going to do it without the aid of the police. In an hour's time I expect a new gang of men here and I will see to it that you don't interfere with them."
"The strikers were ugly at this unexpected statement, but before they could advance Thompson pulled his revolver and fired five shots as fast as he could pull the trigger. Every shot went into the head of the man drawn with chalk. He loaded his revolver and put next five shots into the chest of the chalk man. Then reloading his revolver he turned to the strikers and said:
"Now, you loafers, get out of here. I don't want to have to shoot you, but I will do it if you make a break at me or at any of my new men. Clear out, now, quickly."
"They did clear out and when the new men arrived Thompson was on the walk to meet them. Not one of the strikers dared to interfere. Some of the strikers came back later, but none of them ever offered any violence to Thompson. He had made his point."
Qnk Shutters in Riot Times
"I reckon there are enough police men in New York to squelch any old riot that you might have," said a western man who, according to the New York, Sun, had been studying Broadway, "for I don't see any old-time shutters on the windows of the stores. In my town, as well as many others in the west, during the civil war, where we had no police, the old-fashioned shutters were all the protection the business men had against jawhawkers and bushwhackers. The shutters were made of oak and were screwed in front of the windows at night and taken down in the morning. When the jawhawkers and bushwhackers came yelling down the street, our merchants rushed out and put up the shutters, if they had time. The enemy knew better than to try to batter the shutters or shoot through them, for they couldn't do it. When the merchants put up the shutters in such an attack, they locked the door and fled to the cellars and stayed there until the disturbance was over. Cellars were as safe from jawhawkers and bushwhackers as they are from cyclones. Cellars and oak shutters are great protection. But I haven't seen any oak shutters in New York."

THE DREAM OF A POET.
In Which He Experiences the Delight of Having His Verses Well Paid For.
"Is the poetry editor in?" The tall, pale-faced, intellectual looking man, with the high forehead and the shabby black frock coat flapping about his emaciated form, stood hesitatingly in the doorway as he put the question, says the Washington Star. A stout, well-fed, well-groomed man, seated at a carved mahogany desk, rose from his chair in an attitude of salutation, and said:
"Sir, I am the editor of the poetry column."
The intellectual looking man drew forth from the inside pocket of his shabby coat a dog's-eared bundle of manuscript.
"I beg to submit," said he, "a few miscellaneous verses that I have jotted down at intervals during the past few months. I should like to commend them to your most attentive consideration. did I not feel that it were forward on my part to do so. Many of them are on the subject of the beautiful spring season, which is now unfolding."
The stout, well-fed, well-groomed man eagerly snatched up the bundle of manuscript and turned over the pages like a man in a play who is searching for a missing will in a moth eaten book of recipes. Then he took the intellectual looking man enthusiastically by the hand.
"My dear sir," said he, in a voice full of emotion, "I pray you to be seated. I have often heard of your work in the poetic line, and I have frequently been upon the verge of writing to inquire if you would not let us have what verses you did not care to use elsewhere. Your arrival is exceedingly timely. I have been distracted to find some suitable verses on the subject of spring for our big edition next week, and anything that you submit I feel confident must be more than worthy the consideration, not only of our publication, but of the world in general. Sir, I beg to assure you that you flatter us beyond our worth in thus coming to our rescue at a critical time, and you shall not go unrewarded. I shall, with your permission, accept this entire lot of verses that you have submitted, and I leave it to you to set whatever figure upon them that you think is equitable and proper."
"I beg you to spare me the humiliation of appraising these children of my brain and soul in cold luce," said the intellectual looking man. "Any amount that you may see fit to render in payment for them will be quite satisfactory to me."
The poetry editor reached into one of the drawers of his carved mahogany desk and drew forth a small book of pale pink cheeks. Seizing a diamond incurred pen he hastily dashed off a check for $5,000 and handed it over to the intellectual looking man.
"I consider that simply a bagatelle in payment for such exquisite versification as I know this package of manuscript contains," said the poetry editor, again fervently squeezing the hand of the intellectual looking man, "but when that is gone I pray you not to hesitate to call upon us, or draw upon us, for any amount. Good morning, my dear sir—good morning."
Then the intellectual looking man fell out of bed with such a resounding bump that the Hibernian landlady rushed up to his garret room and notified him that he'd have to seek other quarters if he intended to continue to wake up honest people below him in the middle of the night.
PRACTICED BY ANCIENTS.
The Corner Stone of Rome's Rebuilt Capitol Was Laid with Great Ceremony.
Lanciarni, the Roman arheacologist, has discovered that it was the custom in old Rome to lay the corner stone of a public building with elaborate ceremonies, and he cites proof that this was a universal practice in the ancient world. At the laying of the corner stone when the capitol of Rome was rebuilt a procession of vestal virgins robed in white surrounded the stone and consecrated it with libations of water. A prayer to the gods followed and then the magistrates, priests, senators and knights had hold of the ropes and moved the mighty stone to its proper position. In a hollow cut in the stone were placed ingots of gold, silver and other metals which had not been melted in any furnace. With the Jews the corner stone was considered an emblem of power, and they also performed ceremonies at its laying. in medieval times the rite was taken up by the Order of Free Masons and has by them been brought down to modern days. The masonic ceremony of laying a corner stone is symbolic. The form of the stone, a square on the surface, and a perfect cube; its place, at the northeast corner of the structure; the testing of it with a square, level and plumb, and the pouring of libations of corn, wine and oil it—all have their hidden meaning. The custom of laying the corner stone with ceremonies is usually observed at the commencement of any public building, when coins of the current year, newspapers and important documents are placed within the stone to serve as valuable historical relics when the building shall be destroyed.
Prince of Wales as a jockey
The prince of Wales once rode and won a horse race. This event took place in Ireland nearly 40 years ago. The horse's name was Rupee and the distance run was a mile and a-half. To the spectators the jockey was known as "Capt. Melville," but in reality it was his royal highness the prince. His colors on this occasion were all white. Rupee was the prince's own horse. He determined to ride him himself and, if possible, to win. This he did in excellent style.

This has been my experience. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and every bottle of Pe-runa proved a good friend to me." - Susan Wymar.
Mrs. Margaretha Dauben, 1214 North Superior St., Racine City, WI, writes: "I feel so well and good and happy now that Pe-runa is everything to me. I have taken every step of Pe-runa for female complaint. I am in the change of life and it does me good."

For Shooters and Fishermen
The new 1900 edition of "Shooting and Fishing Along the Line of the Great North Ern railway" is without an equal among books of this class. It is handsomely bound in colored covers, of new and attractive white paper in two colors, is beautifully illustrated with photographs reproduced in half-tones and is in all respects a magnificent specimen of the printer's art.
Complete information is given about all sorts and conditions of sport, from lion and goat hunting, including every fish that swims in the marsh and rivers of the wide North western states.
All the little details of lakes, boats, bays, distances, etc., have been carefully compiled by practical sportsmen, and will be found a great convenience to anyone planing a trip to the Northwest. This encyclopedia in three colors is bound into each book.
The hunter or fisherman who is the fortunate possesser of this encyclopedia of sport in the Northwest needs no further guide to tell him where to go a fishing or shooting. By mail for two cents from P.L. Paul, Minn.
His Honor's Joke.
Sam Bedford辅助 a good joke that occurred at Calhoun this week in Judge Owen's court. A case was on trial, and the judge told him to keep moving about in the rear of the courtroom, lifting chairs and looking under benches. "A man," Judge Owen called, "you are making a great deal of unnecessary noise. What are you about?" "Your honor," replied the man, "I have lost my overcoat and am trying to find it." "And the judge," people often lose whole suits, "is that disturbance." —Owensboro Inquirer
Must Respect Tradition.
Constance, the beautiful maiden, struggles desperately in the water.
"Save me!" she shrieks.
Harold, the brave youth, standing upon the throne, throws aside his coat.
"Are you sinking for the third time?" he asks.
"Oh, dear!" I forgot to count! How stupid of me!" Constance cries, in much confusion.
Harold is as brave as a lion, truly, but he is a career risk violating what is perhaps the most cherished convention of romance.—Stray Stories.
The Parson's Revenge.
It had been the custom of an Atchison man all his life to time his preacher at church, and when the preacher had taken 5 minutes the Atchison man thought it was time to preach. He did recently, and the preacher took an advantage of the fact that the knocker of his sermons couldn't get away, and pressed a runeral sermon lasting an hour and 15 minutes.
