Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1 1894 to 1 1898 1 1900 to 1 1902 CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 7. 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Our newspapermen ought to commend Editor T. Thomas Fortune for his manly statement anent the fifteenth amendment. He but told the truth and should be sustained by us in particular. Let all be MEN and stop "truckling." Will the Christian Recorder tell us whether Bishop C. T. Shaffer is a white or "colored" man? The question has been raised. We have always regarded the able gentleman and scholar as a member of the race. He is a credit to any class of people. The editor of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press believes that McKinley and Roosevelt will be defeated this fall, and does not space theod when he chastises Col. Roosevelt (which is about every week) for his now notorious Scribner Magazine article, which reflects so discreditably upon our soldiers in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American Council, leaves to-day for Europe, but will return in time for the next annual meeting of that organization, to be held in Indianapolis the last of August. The bishop is one of our leading positive characters, and one of our strongest race men. He is entitled to more credit than possibly any other one man for the success of the council. There are alleged race newspapers that seem to be willing to do anything for a dollar. Agree to purchase fifty or one hundred copies and they will publish your portrait and a lot of rot about you as often as you wish it, that is simply ridiculous. The Washington, D. C., papers on Mr. Hanna's barber, is a case that illustrates the above to a nicety. It is, too, furnishing any amount of amusement for our people of Cleveland. So Bryan is again the standard-bearer of the populists and democrats of the country. Well, it's going to be a hotter and closer contest than that of four years ago. The republican party starts in with more isms and ists, divisions and factions, than it can well carry and win. A good deal remains to be done to harmonize the various elements and make success possible. Meanwhile the intelligent "colored brother" will "saw wood" and nurse his grievances, which are many. The lily whites have the upper hand in every southern state except Georgia, and in every instance the fault lies entirely with our own men. -N. Y. Age. O, pshaw! Place the major portion of the blame where it belongs—with the managers of the republican party. They recognized the "illy whites" at Philadelphia, thereby placing them "in the saddle"—in power at the south. We'll admit that a part—the lesser—of the blame for the sad and disgraceful condition "lies with our own men." That and nothing more, and the editor of the Age knows it. Republican of Middle Florida, "the only white republican paper in middle Florida," is edited by a carpetbagger from Ohio, who wants the Negro to get out of politics, and let the white republicans run things. William Harrison Lawrence, the editor, makes a howling mistake by imagining that he is a republican and that he is in the republican party. He must be crazy in his head.—N. Y. Age. O, no, he is not any more "crazy in his head" than the managers of the republican party have been for four years past. That very thing they have encouraged ever since McKinley's election, and proved it by their recognition at Philadelphia of the "lily white" delegations, to the exclusion of the regular ones, which in every instance included Afro-American republicans. Their excuse was that the "lily whites" had promised to put into the field congress candidates and elect them this fall, thus increasing the republican majority. All of which is the merest rot, and they know it. Tell the truth, Fortune. We can do it and still be a republican, and a better race man. AS TO RECOGNITION. Elsewhere in this paper will be found a letter from Philadelphia which truly indicates the position taken and maintained by leading Afro-Americans of this state. Empty ard insignificant honors are not what our people want at the hands of the leaders of the republican party, or the national administration. We are entitled to something far more substantial, and regret exceedingly that the excerpt from Mr. Stewart's letter published in the Philadelphia letter in to-day's issue of The Gazette, referred to above, did not immediately follow the daily newspaper announcement of his appointment as assistant sergeant-at-arms of the national republican convention. Its publication at that time would have had a far greater effect for good. The Atro- Americans of New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois have a grievance which the national administration cannot afford to longer ignore. They also have an opportunity this fall which it is hoped will be fully appreciated and used to good advantage. There are a number of white men at the nation's capital drawing salaries from the government any one of which is larger than all of the salaries combined drawn by Afro-Americans appointed to office by the president. Positions gained as the result of civil service examinations are not presidential appointments and should not be credited to the administration. We need more men like Mr. Stewart, who refuses to accept empty and insignificant honors when something substantial and material is so long overdue. Tammany Hall has given to the Afro-Americans of New York City about as many places and about as good ones as the present administration has given to the Afro-Americans of the entire north. This may not be pleasing information, but it is truth, which it will pay some people to study. The day when political jolly sufficed and satisfied the "colored brother" has passed. Nor will a few political dollars distributed among a number of Afro-American employees at the various national republican headquarters satisfy. Nor will the presence of departmental employees of color in the various localities to which they are accredited, pacify or satisfy. It will pay the president, Mr. Hanna and others in charge of the campaign to be made this fall, to study the situation to which we call attention and meet it squarely and manfully, doing the proper thing. The Afro-Americans of the states named and the entire north are entitled to substantial recognition which they have not received. They have earned it over and over again, and will not be placated this fall with anything but something material. The above is a true and frank statement, the result of careful observation and experience upon the part of a republican who loves his party's principles better than individuals, and next to his people. MURRAY "JOSHES" MYERS. One of the most amusing articles we have read in a long time was Mr. Daniel Murray's write-up, in a Washington exchange, of George Myers, barber at the Hollenden house in this city. Mr. Murray is a Washingtonian, and shows in the article that he neither knows the subject of his article nor the local and state conditions as far as Myers and our people are concerned. In the first place, Mr. Murray to the contrary notwithstanding, Myers never "has been an important factor in city, county, or state politics," and as long as he runs a color-line barber shop, never will be. Mr. Murray's statement "that he has secured more recognition for his race than any other man in Ohio," is simply ridiculous, and is only equaled by much other rot of a like nature in the same article. The statement that Mr. Hanna placed the interests of Major McKinley at St. Louis in the hands of Myers and Bishop Arnett will bring a broad grip to the faces of all the Afro-Americans who attended that national convention. Equally untrue is the statement that the same two men "organized the Ohio colored delegation, which rendered such signal service to Major McKinley in the campaign of 1896." Many Afro-Americans who attended the convention which nominated McKinley at St. Louis will remember the big empty store room which Messrs. John Green, Arnett and Myers occupied and vainly endeavored to make a "headquarters." Mr. Murray also says "that at the close of the campaign McKinley went personally to thank Myers for his efforts, etc." McKinley did nothing of the kind. The fact is, that as a guest of the Hollenden house and needing a shave, he went to the barber shop of the hotel and "honored" Myers by permitting him to shave him. "The Western Reserve Republican club, a strong political organization and a power in Ohio state politics," of which Mr. Murray says Myers is president, never was such an organization as he terms it, and has been dead so long that very few remember it was ever in existence. General Charles Dick told the writer that Myers was made a member of the Ohio republican executive committee at the request of Gov. "Urbana" Bushnell, the man who sat in the executive chair of the state of Ohio with plenty of power and means to prevent the lynching of "Click" Mitchell and yet failed to do so. As a result of this, the loyal Afro-Americans of the state not only opposed his renomination, but also his reelection and refused to serve upon the committee which had charge of his campaign for re-election. Mr. Murray's statement that "no important political matter is ever undertaken in the state by his party until he (Myers) has been consulted," is another ridiculous statment, too transparent for further comment. We have heard so many republican members of the Seventy-third general assembly claim the "honor" of furnishing in 1898 the Seventy-third vote that secured to Mr. Hanna the senatorship he now holds, that long ago we were thoroughly convinced that Myers' claim of having produced "the seventy-second man (Clifford) at midnight before the day of voting," is but the merest nonsense. The conclusion paragraph of Mr. Murray's sketch relative to Myers' owning a beautiful home, on one of the finest avenues of Cleveland, etc., is on a par with statements already referred to and a number of others in the article not noticed. The only Negro in Ohio that was at Columbus seeking the empty honor of alternate-at-large to the Philadelphia national republican convention, or who would accept it, was this same fellow Myers. All of our leaders in attendance upon the convention fought for a delegateship and might have secured it but for that same old stumbling-block—the Negro who is always willing to accept anything a white man offers regardless of his rights. "LILY WHITE" REPUBLICANS And "Murderous Wing"—The Lynching of Postmaster Baker Recalled. The New York Age wants the democrats whipped off the face of the earth, because they have a murderous wing to them. We hate that wing as much as Brother Fortune does or can. We have a "nigger" hating wing in the republican party, styled by Mr. Fortune and others as the "illy whites." Because of their existence, is that any reason why the whole republican party should be wiped off the face of the earth? THIS IS RICHI How Hon. W. R. Stewart of Ohio Felt Upon the Receipt of a Commission—Appointed Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms of the Recent National Republican Convention. Philadelphia, Pa.—A friend of Hon. W. R. Stewart, of Youngstown, O., received a letter from that gentleman during the national republican convention week, in which was the following pertinent explanation: "I was completely overwhelmed, yes, knocked speechless, when I received my commission for the un- JOKE GAINED HIS POINT. A Michigan Statesman's Clever Ruse Worked on a Committee on Pensions. Not long ago Congressman "Hank" Smith, of the Second Michigan district, worked a joke off on the house committee on pensions. It should be explained, says the Chicago Chronicle, that this committee is not the one which has charge of the pensions which grew out of the civil war, says a correspondent. Its functions appertain to the granting of pensions to the widows and veterans of the Mexican and Black Hawk wars and other unpleasant occasions. It should Suppose I see Fitzsimmons in a desperate struggle with shameful odds against him, and I help him on his feet and out of danger, and by and by he stands by me with arms folded and sees a murderous little fellow pounce on me and kill me; which of the two is the worse, the murderous fellow or Fitzsimmons, whom I had saved? What difference is there between the republican party in allowing this murderous work, chief among whom are Mr. Fortune's lily white republicans and the murderous wing of the democrats? Must Mr. Fortune help to whip the democrats because McKinley defended the homes and lives of those forty odd colored voters, who were shot down in North Carolina without the slightest provocation? What did the white republican governor do, with the entire state force at his command, and could have called the nation to his aid, to defend those poor colored men, who had so loyally put him in power? Must he support McKinley because he took such special care of the Baker family? Or is it because he let those black slodiers live in the south, with their guns taken from them and at the mercy of that murderous wing? Or is it because McKinley would not officer and honor Negroes as he did whites of less merit? Oh! by the way, it may be because he refused to have that heroic colored regiment in the Philadelphia peace jubilee, because, as he said, it would cost too much to take them there from the far south, though the brave Philadelphiaans brought them there at their own expense and lauded them to the skies. Of course Roosevelt deserves to be elected because he, with his pistol, forced those cowardly Negroes to action in Cuba. Great men, these two—McKinley and Roosevelt.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. A Fine Gift. The editor of The Gazette is the recipient of a fine 16x20 crayon portrait of himself made from his latest photograph by Rev. B. K. Smith, of Laurel street. The portrait is in a six-inch oak and gold frame, and is a wonderfully good likeness. Mr. Smith is manager of the Cleveland Art Co., at No. 236 Superior street. With the picture was sent the following letter: Hon. H. C. Smith, Dear Sir: Accept this crayon picture of yourself, made by me, for your untiring labors in the interest of our people. While you have been our standard bearer, you have shown us what I call true faith and courage. My prayer is that you may live long and do much good. Respectfully, B. K. SMITH. The same class of work, complete in a similar frame, etc., can be secured for $3.48. This is from $2 to $3 less than any firm in the city charges for them. See a sample of this splendid work. The Smith Law Stands. The supreme court of Ohio has declared the Smith anti-lynching law constitutional. It will be remembered that the heirs of "Click" Mitchell, who was lynched by a mob about four years ago, sued the county for $10,000 under the provisions of this law. The two lower courts ruled against them, but the case was appealed to the supreme court, which reversed the decision of the lower court and remanded the case for a new trial. The case was carried back and the suit won in the court where it had been thrown out at first. The supreme court of Ohio has nobly performed its high duty in sustaining a law which seeks to give every man, guilty or suspected of crime, a fair and impartial trial. Hon. H. C. Smith, of Cuyahoga county, O., introduced this bill. He did his race and his state a great service in getting it on the statute books of his state.—Atlanta (Ga.) Age. New Brighton, Pa., Brevities.

Death of a Negro 123 Years Old Lisbon, O.—There died recently at the county infirmary, near this city, one who, unless the documentary evidence in his possession is at fault, was the oldest resident of the state, if not of the country. James Reddick was his name, and he was born a slave in Virginia in 1777, as he often asserted, and he had in his possession several documents tending to support his claim that he was really 123 years old, among others was a bill of sale transferring him from one master to another. This is dated August 6, 1800; and in it he is described as a man of 23 years. He has been helpless for many years.

Y.—Carrie Reilly (white) was married last night to William Pugsley. The ceremony took place at the parsonage of the church, and was performed by the pastor, Rev. Walter Grayson. Pugsley gave his age as 22, and the bride said that she was 29. A mixed gathering of colored and white guests attended the marriage and reception. THIS IS RICHI How Hon. W. R. Stewart of Ohio Felt Upon the Receipt of a Commission—Appointed Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms of the Recent National Republican Convention. Philadelphia, Pa.—A friend of Hon. W. R. Stewart, of Youngstown, O., received a letter from that gentleman during the national republican convention week, in which was the following pertinent explanation: "I was completely overwhelmed, yes, knocked speechless, when I received my commission for the unsought office of assistant sergeant-at-arms. You know that when honors of such magnitude are unexpectedly thrust upon a young man inexperienced in the game of politics, he scarcely knows how to demean himself. The thought of wielding a mace bedecked with gaudy ribbons and bestriding the floor of the great convention hall, lugging this scepter of authority, is too much for me to even contemplate in its fullness. With such an emblem of authority in my hand, I am at a loss to know what I should wear on my head, whether a crown, or a cap with bells. No, my dear friend. I regret to say that my business affairs will not permit me to neglect them for a time sufficient to do full justice to the discharge of the duties of an office filled with so much honor and so many responsibilities. While I appreciate in its fullness the keen pleasure my friends derive from the thought of seeing me clad in the purple of authority. I regret the necessity of disappointing them. I never, like to disappoint my friends, and generally appear as advertised, but you can easily understand why it will be impossible for me to take part in the show as advertized, and will oblige me by explaining matters to disappointed friends." Mr. Stewart was a member of the Ohio legislature from 1896 to 1900, and is one of the race leaders in that state, who refuses to be satisfied with such empty honors and insignificant places as the one mentioned above and alternate-delegateships. Would that not only Ohio, but the entire north, had more such Afro-Americans. MANNA FOR TIRED TRAMPS. How a Pleasure Promising Picnic Was Turned Into a Sad Fiasco. The sun was seeking the meridian as three wayfarers, lagging of gait and worn and seedy as to appearance, were making their way indifferently along the Rockaway road, just beyond the eastern borner of East New York, Brooklyn, says the New York Sun. "Say, but me troat feels like a tunnel troo a desert," remarked the walker in the van, casually jerking his thumb in the direction of an advertisement of a Williamsburg brewery in the field to the left. "I ain't sayin' a word," joined in the traveler in the rear. The third man merely grunted in approval of the sentiments expressed by his fellows. Just ahead the Van Wyck woods, green, cool and inviting, cast deep shadows across the gray macadam road. Reaching the shade of the trees, the three threw themselves on the grass. "How'd you feel if you seen a keg of lager in front of you with a fish bowl schooner under the spigot?" inquired one of the trio, derisively. With a look of scorn, one of the others got up and rambled off among the trees. His fellows arose and languidly followed him. They came to a glade in the grove and suddenly halted, speechless. There before them in the clearing were three kegs of beer, several boxes of "soft stuff," two or three boiled hams, loaves of bread, pickled beets, chow chow and other eatables, all arranged as if for a feast. The three worn and tattered beholders of all this looked at each other, pale of face and trembling. For a moment or two they stood irresolute. Then one of the three, with faltering step, went over to what seemed to him a fancy of his brain, the kegs of beer, and felt of them. With a hysterical laugh he beckoned to his still uncertain fellows. Over in a field adjoining the wood the married men and the single men of the Herman F. Ranzweiller association were engaged in a close and exciting game of baseball. It was the first picnic of the season of the association, and it was progressing most happily. Early that morning the members, in gayly decorated wagons, had left the headquarters of the association for the picnic grounds in the Van Wyck woods. Arrived at the grove, the committee on refreshments began preparing for the day's feast, while the other members went into the field near by to engage in sports. The match between the married and the single men proved unexpectedly close and exciting, the Benedicts surprising their younger opponents. The excitement was intense. All the members of the committee on refreshments were married men, and they yielded to the temptation of the situation in the ball field and deserted their post in a body. In the ninth inning, with the married men two runs ahead, the heavy hitters of the single men ingloriously struck out, and all hands, warm and perspiring, made in a body for the cool shade of the grove and the waiting feast. In the glade a moment later the committee on refreshments, surrounded by angry and gesticulating Ranzweillers, were vainly endeavoring to explain things. Where three kegs of beer had been only two were now in evidence; missing were two of the boiled hams, all the jars of pickled beets and chow chow, and most of the bread. There didn't seem to be any good reason for suspecting the committee on refreshments, but as it had been their duty to guard the food and drink, they were held responsible for the mysterious disappearance of the refreshments. The happily begun picnic of the Ranzweillers ended in a dismal fizzle. In the rear of a wagon shed on Van Wyck lane, a quarter of a mile away, as the drivers of the picnic wagons chirped a sullen "git-ap" to the teams at the grove, one of a merry party of three was saying to one of his companions: "You've heard about manna from the skies, ain't you, Willie? Well, this is it," shifting a huge piece from a nicely boiled ham and caressing a keg of lager mounted on a pile of old fence pickets in the shadow of the shed. JOKE GAINED HIS POINT. A Michigan Statesman's Clever Ruse Worked on a Committee on Pensions. Not long ago Congressman "Hank" Smith, of the Second Michigan district, worked a joke off on the house committee on pensions. It should be explained, says the Chicago Chronicle, that this committee is not the one which has charge of the pensions which grew out of the civil war, says a correspondent. Its functions appertain to the granting of pensions to the widows and veterans of the Mexican and Black Hawk wars and other ancient unpleasantnesses. It should also be pointed out that one of their rules is that no widow's pension shall be larger than $8 a month. This proceeds upon the theory that any widow who survives a veteran of these wars must be a comparatively young woman and that she must have married the veteran in his dotage to get his pension. The new member from Michigan appeared before the committee at its last meeting and in an incidental and smiling way alluded to the rule. "That is a fine rule," said he in a guileless sort of way. "I sympathize with its purpose and believe it should stand. But just to show good faith I am going to propose an amendment. I move that it be amended so as to read 'except in the case of widows over 100 years of age.'" The members of the committee are always in favor of a joke and the proposition was adopted with a unanimous laugh. And thereupon "Hank" produced from his pocket a bill to grant a pension of $12 a month to Mrs. Hixon, of Clinton, Mich. She had just passed her one hundredth year. It was not necessary to explain that her husband had served to within one day of the time requisite to get a pension in the regular manner. The committee reported the bill favorably. Hurt Him Professionally A New York barkeeper who was spending his vacation in Maine found himself one evening in a hotel in Portland. While he lingered a terrible storm took place. The windows of the room in which he was sitting were broken by hailstones "almost as big as eggs." The proprietor of the hotel noticed that the barkeeper turned aside to drop a tear. "Does the storm scare you?" he ventured to ask his guest to ask his guest. "It isn't that," replied the barkeeper, "but I can't bear to see so much cracked ice wasted in a prohibition state."—N. Y.

That the Negro is gifted with as many of the finer sensibilities as any other people is proven by his many acts of bravery and heroism. Only recently a young colored man, named James Lotterberry, hotel porter at Parkersburg, rescued a white lady from a most perilous position, into which she had gotten by an attempt to board a moving train. And this, too, was done in the presence of a crowd of white men, none of whom made an effort to rescue the unfortunate woman, and at the risk of his life. And there are thousands of other Jim Lotterberries in this country under whose black skin throbs great big manly hearts.

It is estimated that there are 15,000,000 Germans in America. In 1800 there were 200 horses in Australia; in 1000 there are 2,000,000. New Zealand has now sent nearly 2,000 men to the front in South Africa. A train was stopped in Coffee county, Tenn., to allow a bear to get off the track. Parliament building, Wellington, N. Z., is the largest wooden structure in the world. No receptacle made has sufficient strength to resist bursting power of frozen water. Bank of England notes are numbered backward, that is, from 1 to 1,000, hence the figures 00,0001. It is estimated that the number of Germans and their descendants in the United States is 15,000,000. London has 13,564 policemen, or 19 to the square mile. Sixty per cent. of them are on night duty. Under British rule the cotton crop of Egypt has doubled, and now amounts to over 500,000,000 pounds a year. The Newfoundland sealing season has been the largest for the past 25 years, 373,000 seals having been captured. An official return from the British war office shows that the distinctly Scottish regiments in the war contain 20,000 men. Residents of Atlanta hope that circuses will come there, now that the license has been reduced from $1,000 a day to $500. According to a report of the labor commissioner of New Hampshire the shoe output of that state last year was $22,900,000. President Eliot, of Harvard, has been asked to deliver an address at the opening exercises of the University of Michigan next fall. Miss Gail Laughlin, of New York, has been appointed by the industrial commission at Washington to investigate the servant girl question. In three British regiments—the Black Watch, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders—over 40 per cent. of the men are total abstainers. Long before school boards were established in England Canadian children were instructed free of cost between the ages of seven and twelve. This education is compulsory. Henry Chang, son of Chang Yin Tang, Chinese minister to Madrid, is to be educated in Philadelphia. Henry is thirteen years old and during the last year he attended school at a preparatory institution in Virginia. There were 500,000,000 fowls in the United States last year, and the number of eggs laid as estimated at about 1,504,000,000 dozen, or 17,400,000,000 eggs. The value of these fowls and their product is set down at $420,000,-000. In good years the average fig crop of the Smyrna district amounts to about 26,000,000 pounds, but last year the yield was only 18,000,000 pounds. The harvest time in Asiatic Turkey is November. The figs are chiefly shipped three months later. A substitute for the glass stopper which, although it prevents fumes from escaping from the bottle, has an awkward habit of getting fixed is to be found in a cork steeped in vaseline. It answers all the purposes of the glass stopper, without its disadvantages. A nugget taken from the Connecticut Zine Co.'s property, at Joplin, Mo., a day or two ago, which ranks as one of the handsomest specimens ever mined there, weighs an even ton. It is principally zinc ore, prettily trimmed in calcite, pink spar and cubes of galena. Gen. Miles, as lieutenant general, will enjoy the privilege accorded no other officers of the army of prescribing his own uniform. He may wear what he pleases. The Russian sword belt, which he secured when last abroad, will, it is said, remain a part of it. Prof. A. D. Kent, of Jewell, Ia., has been appointed by the sultan of Turkey instructor of farming for the entire Turkish empire. Prof. Kent was recommended for the position a year ago, but on account of the usual Oriental dilatoriness did not receive the appointment until recently. He is now a member of the faculty of the Iowa State Agricultural college. In England there are only about 176 centenarians; in Ireland, 578, and in Scotland, 46.

Of the 2,250,000 inhabitants of Servia 575 have passed the century mark. France with a population of 40,000,000, has 213 centenarians. The largest nugget yet found in the Klondike was picked up on Gold Hill recently. It weighed seventy-seven ounces and was valued at $13,000. In the fourteenth century armor became so heavy that many soldiers only 30 years old were deformed or permanently disabled by its weight. The North German Lloyd is about to start a steamship line on the Yang-tse-Kiang river, in China, to connect Shanghai with the ocean ships.

There are nine branches in New York state of the Woman's International Labor league, whose object is to persuade workingmen and women to buy only goods bearing the union label. JIM'S JEWELED TOOTH. A Gold Crown Set with Diamonds in the Jaws of a Boston Bull Terrier. Jim is a bull terrier whose pedigree runs back through many generations of distinguished ancestry. He is an aristocrat, born into luxury, and his five years of life have been a continuous round of contentment and ease, says the Boston Evening Transcript. Everything that a pampered canine could possibly desire is lavished on Jim. The choicest tidbits fall to his portion. The smartest of up-to-date collars adorns his neck, and every night he is tucked up in his own bed with the clothes well up under his chin, "just so," before he will shut his eyes to sleep. Yachting trips and country holidays make his summers pass pleasantly, while his winter quarters are such as befits a dog of his position and accomplishments. In point of luxurious living Jim is not more favored than hundreds of other Boston pets. He has one great claim to distinction, however, which makes him peculiarly interesting—he is a regular customer at the dentist's. Some time ago Jim's master realized that something was the matter with his prize dog. He investigated and found two decayed teeth. Accordingly they were pulled out. The operation was not unattended with difficulties, but Jim seemed to know that the ordeal was for his ultimate good, and he behaved much better than the average man or woman who "takes nothing" when the forceps are applied. Relief from pain was evident by the way he capered after the troublesome molars were removed. Not long after Jim's left cuspid, which corresponds to the eye-tooth in the human mouth, showed signs of decay in darkish spots. Again he was conducted to the dental chair. This time, a more delicate operation had to be undertaken, which the patient bore with fortitude. An entire gold crown was fitted, giving the appearance of a gold tooth. More than that, three sparkling diamonds were set in the polished surface. The largest is near the gum and the smallest at the point of the tooth. Much of the work was done before the crown was adjusted, so the operation was probably not as painful as might be imagined, although Jim has never expressed himself on the subject. He knows when his remarkable tooth is to be exhibited. He cocks his head to one side and relaxes his jaw so it can be easily seen. Another of Jim's teeth, directly in front, has become loosened, and it will soon have to be treated by having a bridge to tighten it. How an Artist Was Nicknamed. Robert Frank, the well-known artist, is a self-made man, and not until he had become self-supporting did he have a chance to pursue the regular studies which most people have in earlier life. When he began drawing for a living, his workmanship was so excellent that he had no trouble in securing orders. One day he delivered some sketches to an employer, who said: "By the by, Frank, I want a picture drawn in a great hurry. It is a novel thing, a boxing kangaroo." "Ja wohl," answered the artist. "I will have it ready to-morrow for you." "You know what a kangaroo is, of course?" Frank must have been thinking of an ostrich, because he answered with a complacent smile: "Ja, gewisslich. It is a long, tall thing mit lots of feddars." And "Feddars" has been his nickname ever since—Saturday Evening Post. An Odd Business. One of the novel business trades of London is that of a dealer in second-hand plate-glass. The large plates of this kind of glass are insured when put in a window, and when any of them is broken the owner of the insured glass usually prefers that the insurance company should replace the broken plate rather than that he should be paid its price. The dealer in the second-hand glass contrives to utilize what remains of the unbroken parts of the glass, cutting it into panes of smaller size and disposing of them to various firms.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1900. KNOWN BY THEIR TUNES A Boss Carpenter's Queer Way of Discerning Capable Workmen. Talking about the queer ways some people have of sizing up a man's capabilities for a job, said a resident of Paterson, N. J., to a Washington Star reporter the other day, there recently died in my town a boss carpenter named Hebart, who had one question which he always asked of journey-men who applied to him for employment. If the applicant was found to possess all the other necessary qualifications Hebart would ask: "What are your favorite tunes?" "Why, what do you want to know that for?" "You whistle and sing some at your work, don't you?" "Oh, yes." "Well, what tunes do you generally whistle or sing?" "Oh, there's 'Old-Hundred,' and 'Auld Lang Syne,' and 'Down by the Weeping Willows,' and—" "That's enough!" the boss would exclaim. "You won't do for me. These tunes are too slow for me. Good-day." On the contrary, if the applicant answered; "Oh, I generally whistle Yankee Doodle, or 'The Fisher's Hornpipe,' or something of that sort, the carpenter would say at once: "I think you'll do! Take off your coat if you want to and go to work." Fable of the Small Bird. Once upon a time there was a bantam rooster with an immense opinion of himself, and as he stood in the barnyard he said: "I will make a stir in the world. I will attract attention." Wherefore he began to crow lustily, although he had nothing much to crow about. Now it happened that far above the bantam a hawk was wheeling in the circum-ambient air. The hawk had not seen the bantam, owing to the latter's diminutive proportions, but when the bantam crowed the hawk heard and in about 43 seconds had his claws full and was contentedly winging his flight homeward, while all was still below.

The most healthful signs of life and a highly useful career are indicated in the existence of the above-named paper. That it is a paper of Brain and Culture can not be doubted when the fact is remembered that in its columns are found communications from the wisest and best minds of our race.
