Have we an agent and correspondent in your community? Wonder if Editor Timothy T. Fortune, of the N. Y. Age, has forgotten his editorial attacks of a few months ago on President McKinley and the administration? We republish two of them on our first page to-day. Either Tim was right or wrong. He is right or wrong now in eating his former statements and giving them the lie. Our readers can judge. One thing sure, and that is, our esteemed confrere is the greatest Afro-American "flopper" or political acrobat in the journalistic world. GOV. ROOSEVELT AND OUR SOLDIERS. We tire so much of Col. Roosevelt's contradictory statements in regard to the valor of the "colored" soldier in the late Spanish-American war. He cannot commend and denounce the Negro soldier at one and the same time, and yet this seems to be the very hand that the colonel undertakes to play. No military man known in American history has ever before betrayed such double-dealing as the man who fills second place as candidate on the national republican ticket. As the advocate of sound republican principles, we are inclined to pass in silence the mischievous comments offered by Col. Roosevelt against the "colored" soldier. But the colonel is unjust and patronizing to a fault and deserves our most hearty rebuke. Why he should make this ungenerous bid for votes by thus underrating and misrepresenting the true service and heroism of the Negro soldier is a matter very perplexing to our minds. The world knows too well the story of the "colored" soldier's behavior in the late war, and others have certified to and corroborated the truth of the record which he has so well made for himself. For some ill designed reason the brilliant colonel has gone far out of the way to hatch up an appeal to American prejudice to show that he, at least, is not enamored with the Negro. Nor is this all. We have for some time discovered that the colonel has been disposed to manipulate the race question in a way so as to magnify the name and greatness of himself, or to ingratiate himself into the good feeling of that class that might oppose his promotion. Col. Roosevelt is an artful man, but not so artful as to know just how to keep warm all the irons in the fire. Fair dealing is by far the better way. We should hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may. We might enlarge upon this unjust treatment of the "colored" soldier and we might expose more minutely the meaning of this treachery to the race, but Col. Roosevelt is in the field. He, himself, is now in the balance, and in speaking of him, we would speak only in terms of exact justice. THE AKRON BIOT Although forced to plead guilty to the charge of having committed a heinous crime, by threats of being taken back to the mob, in our judgment Louis Peck, the Akron Afro-American, who was the cause of that city's riot last week, was guilty only of assault. Our reasons for believing this are two-fold. First, that within a few hours after the alleged crime was committed upon the little 6-year-old white girl, according to newspapers, she was "out playing," and secondly, because until terrified into doing otherwise, Peck steadfastly maintained that he was only guilty of assault, and that too, when under the influence of liquor, imbibed while driving about the city in a buggy. Some of the best legal minds in the city agree that the manner in which a conviction was secured and the alleged trial was conducted, gives his friends, if he has any, an opportunity to reopen the case. Be that as it may, the man, according to his own willing confession, is guilty of an assault only, for which severe punishment should be meted out every occasion, whether the guilty individual be white or black. Therefore we have little or no sympathy for Peck, even though we believe the judge went too far in the matter of his sentence and the manner of his conviction. As to the mob, the destruction it wrought, and those killed, mortally wounded and injured, about 21 in all, three of whom are dead, there is little to be said except that which is said as the result of all like occasions. It is simply nonsense to say that the work and the result of the mob can be justified from any standpoint, and it is sincerely trusted that every individual who led in inciting it will be apprehended and punished most severely, according to law. They, and they alone, are directly responsible for the loss of property, loss of life and the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1900. severe wounding of 18 or 20 persons, several little children being killed. The Akron riot was indeed an outrage against "law, safety and public conscience." There is absolutely no excuse for it, and it is but another blot upon the escutcheon of the state of Ohio. The city has been injured more than one can estimate. The crimes committed by the mob will retard its progress for many years to come. The prosecuting attorney of the county should see to it that all those connected with the mob, especially its leaders, are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If he fails to do his full duty there will be an opportunity for the attorney general of the state to take action. Mayor Young, of Akron, and Gov. Nash are entitled to great credit for their firmness and promptness of action, the latter for sending promptly a sufficient number of militia to the scene of the riot. Much that we have said anent the New York riots applies also in this case. THE NEW YORK RIOTS. Sixteen New York Negroes, British subjects, injured in the recent New York riots, have appealed to the British council for redress. This puts a new and interesting aspect on riots in this country directed against our people, which will be worth watching. If the British government will, as it usually does, do its duty in this matter, it is going to have a salutary effect, both upon the American government and American mobs. Another element in the shape of Tammany hall's colored contingent has entered into the New York riots aftermath, which seems likely to cause considerable trouble for the police and police officials of the Empire city, who were either brutal in their treatment of Afro-Americans during the riot or permitted others to be so within their sight and hearing. E. Lee, the head of New York City's "united colored democracy," and a sort of a protege of Richard Croker, the leader of Tammany hall, headed a delegaton of Afro-Americans, members of his organization, who called upon acting Mayor Guggenheimer (also a creature of Mr. Croker's) and protested against the course of the police in the recent disturbances. "There was no race viot," said Mr. Lee. "Negroes were attacked and instead of receiving protection from the police, they were brutally treated by them. The police paid no attention to white men, but appeared to be glad of the opportunity to club Negroes. There were very few Negroes hurt by white men compared to those that were injured by policemen's clubs when they had committed no offense and were only trying to protect their lives. The Negroes are incensed at the action of the police and we want an investigation." When it is remembered that Mr. Lee is at the head of an organization, started at the instance of Mr. Richard Croker, the real head of Greater New York, and Mr. Lee's position as stated above is understood, it will be seen that there is trouble ahead for certain New York City policemen, because Mr. Croker and Tammany hall are extremely anxious to increase this fall the organization's colored membership, which is already very large, because of the large number of political positions given by him to Afro-Americans of that city. Indeed, Tammany hall's claim that it has given to Afro-Americans of New York City as many and as good positions as the present national republican administration has given to all of the Afro-Americans of the entire north, has thus far gone unquestioned. As a result of Mr. Lee's calling upon the acting mayor and the latter's communications to the police commissioners of the Empire city, as well as the protests of various race organizations, it has been decided by the police commissioners to take action in regard to the complaints of brutality on the part of policemen during the recent riots on the West Side of New York City. One of the fairest persons to deal with any phase of the riots in question was Magistrate Cornell, of this city, whose talk, decisions and warning to the police indicate a breadth of mind, fairness and ability most encouraging indeed. He put a stop to the New York police's dragging Afro-Americans indiscriminately into his court room and warned the police that they "ought to arrest more whites to do justice in the riot." His warning was productive of much good; it was heeded. These riots, as well as all others directed against our people, are but giving vent to an additional latent prejudice which exists in every community of this country and which eagerly grasps every opportunity to show its hydra head. The spread of mob violence throughout the north during the last three or four weeks has been unprecedented and ought to call the government's attention to the spread of the disease and secure for it the attention it is entitled to, because of the dangerousness from a governmental standpoint of its character. The policeman whose death at the hands of an Afro-American was the cause of the New York riots had so demeaned himself as to bring about just such a result. His treatment of the colored people in his vicinity was such as to secure for him the enmity of the entire Afro-American population of that neighborhood. His death enraged the police and furnished the opportunity for venting a latent prejudice, upon the part of hundreds of prejudiced whites. A Fine Watch. Rochester, N.

FALL FASHIONS as Seen in Gotham Shops A Variety in Sleeves Seems to Be an Assured Fact for the Coming Season QUESTIONS in the fashion world that are hard to answer arise with each rising sun in these closing days of the summer season. It seems to but add to the discomfort of the stifling days when the mercury hovers about the top of the tube and the rays of Old Sol scorch the leaves of the drooping trees, to think of the heavier materials of the fall season. As yet nothing but the lightest of the summer materials are seen, but their sleeves will certainly not hold during the fall and winter. The present clinging, tight sleeves with its extended cuff over the wrist falling well over the hand, is still likely to maintain its position, especially with plain garments to be worn under wraps. This, however, is one of the few ideas which will be taken over from the summer and spring seasons. The new gowns will have new sleeves, and they promise to be ```markdown ``` OF A BEAUTIFUL TEA ROSE YELLOW OLTH. days of usefulness will soon be over, and society will don again the materials which fashion dictates shall be worn when the days and nights grow cooler; when bathing, yachting, golf and tennis gowns have given place to those of the ballroom and the carriage, and when the seaside resorts have been deserted for the more fashionable mountain retreats. What will the fall materials be? What will be the prevailing styles in cut and trimmings? These are but two of the many questions that are agitating the fashionable mind at the present time, and as yet there is no satisfactory answer to either of them. Nearly every new season starts out in the same way. The greatest variety both in materials, cut and trimmings are offered, and it is predicted that the variety will be a permanent feature of the season. But gradually it all simmers down to a few favored materials and a few favored styles, and of course the trimmings suitable to these predominate. The present season is not an exception to this rule. There are materials innumerable on the shelves, though of course in comparatively small quantities, and model gowns are already being shown in all manner of styles. Out of this vast collection will come the favor- A ITES, and the world of fashion asks: "What will they be?" But from out of all the vast variety that one is beginning to see there are several things that are apparently of value as suggestions of what the fall fashions will really be. In the matter of sleeves, for instance, the variety that is now offered promises to increase rather than decrease as the season advances, and should this be the case there is hardly a form of sleeve that will not be correct in style. The fashions of the past few seasons of following but one or two forms in the construction of ALL FROM ABROAD.

The effect of this light is to frighten the animal and cause him to come out of his burrow. sleeves will certainly not hold during the fall and winter. The present clinging, tight sleeve, with its extended cuff over the wrist, falling well over the hand, is still likely to maintain its position, especially with plain garments to be worn under wraps. This, however, is one of the few ideas which will be taken over from the summer and spring seasons. The new gowns will have new sleeves, and they promise to be the most important change. Very full sleeves, falling from close folds at the shoulder, the fullness being around the elbow, are finished just below the elbow by folds of the same goods drawn tightly around the arm. These sleeves are constructed in soft fabrics, and long silk, lisle or mousquetaire kid gloves meet the short sleeve. Elbow sleeves, tight from the shoulder, are worn with the berthas and basques finished in bertha style, made of elaborate brocaded fabrics. Long gloves are also worn with these costumes. Then there is the leg-of-mutton sleeve, cut full from the shoulder, broadening a trifle at the elbow and drawn in at the wrist by a close-fitting cuff, more or less wide. The bishop sleeve, which starts from the shoulder, usually under a cap of lace or handsome filigree, the material growing full from a point three inches below the shoulder and being drawn in again just below the elbow with a tight fitting lower sleeve from that point to the wrist, is another style. These are but a few of the many forms which are apt to increase in variety as the season advances. Another feature of the fall styles that give promise of great variety is the trimmings, and to give a little idea of both these and the sleeves I will describe and illustrate a few of the new models. One of these, designed for afternoon and evening wear, is of a tea ONE OF THE NEW TAILOR-MADE GOWNS FOR FALL. rose yellow cloth, as soft and supple as satin, and made up with white guipure insertion. The skirt has wide plaits all around, with a space between. In the space are two striped Vs of insertion half-way up the skirt, while at the hem are three Vs of insertion. The bodice has a full front of white shirred chiffon, with a jacket effect of tea rose yellow cloth and guipure insertion. The upper part of the sleeves is of the cloth, with large cuffs at the elbow, while the lower portion is of the guipure insertion, strapped with the cloth in Vs. Another is a delicate blue silk trimmed with black French lace and insertion. The skirt of this model is a most novel affair with bands of the insertion forming Vs in front, with a space of some four inches between. A circular flounce of silk just below the knees, with the insertion put on this in diamond shape, edged and headed with rows of narrow black velvet ribbon. The bodice has a tucked V front with insertion trimming. One of the new tailor-mader that will figure prominently in the fall styles is of satin faced cloth in a pastel shade of fawn. This has one of the newest skirts with a plain panel front and side gores, and a tucked back that opens out at the hem. The foot of the front is trimmed with black mohair braid in deep scallops. It has a pretty vest of tucked and folded ivory satin, with a coatee of the cloth, having a high collar and rounded revers, softened with a filmy yellowish lace. The coat sleeves are trimmed with lace. SARAH DAVIDSON. "Is it proper to say that a person commits matrimony?" asked the ignorant one.

Bundy, pastor of St. John's church, speaking of the Akron mob demonstration, said that he thought the spread of the sentiment against the Afro-American was due partly to the apathy of the administration in maintaining silence on southern Negro outrages. "I believe, said Rev. Bundy, "that there is an organized effort among the southern whites to stir up sentiment against Negroes in the north. How well they are succeeding is shown by recent developments. I hope this wave of race prejudice is only temporary, but I fear it is deeply rooted. Northern people are gradually becoming like their southern brothers in their prejudices. I believe, though, that the manhood and integrity of man will finally assert itself, and that these outrages will produce a wave of sentiment that will cause the authorities to act." In Virginia, the other day, a Boston white man was mobbed because he caressed a colored child with the consent of its parent, while attending a theater. In New Orleans, a white man from New York was mobbed and fined by an injustice of the peace because in answer to a direct question of the judge he claimed that colored people were every whit as good as whites. The burning down of valuable school property and the threat to bury the fifteenth amendment, with such instances as cited above, make the question: Is the white south civilized? a rather difficult one to be answered in the affirmative.—Christian Recorder.

"Joan of Arc," whose heart and soul is imbued with fair play for the Negro, and who became so renowned by going to Lake City, S. C., and taking the Baker family to Boston, made it her business to interview Mark Hanna, in the hope to get him to indorse the anti-lynching league, but boss Hanna would not do it. Lincoln, Grant, Philips, Garrison, Sumner and thousands of those who fathered the Grand Old Party would have clapped their hands and said "yes! yes! yes!!" Miss Jewett, you are a jewel and there is work for you to do." Boss Hanna will go down to his grave hated by thousands of Negroes and, as a leader of a once noble party, has done more than any one man in the world to relegate it.

PINKHAM:—I have a yellow, muddy complexion, feel tired and have bearing down pains. Menses have not appeared for three months; sometimes am troubled with a white discharge. Also have kidney and bladder trouble. I have been this way for a long time, and feel so miserable I thought I would write to you and see if you could do me any good." — MISS EDNA FREDERICH, Troy, Ohio, Aug. 6, 1899. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound according to directions, and can say I have not felt so well for years as I do at present. Before taking your medicine a more miserable person you never saw. I could not eat or sleep, and did not care to talk with any one. Now I feel so well I cannot be grateful enough to you for what you have done for me."—Miss EDNA FREDERICK, Troy, Ohio, Sept. 10, 1899. Backache Cured "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I write to thank you for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me. It is the only medicine I have found that helped me. I doctored with one of the best physicians in the city of New York, but received no benefit. I had been ailing for about sixteen years, was so weak and nervous that I could hardly walk; had continued pain in my back and was troubled with leucorrhoea. Menses were irregular and painful. Words cannot express the benefit I have derived from the use of your medicine. I heartily recommend it to all suffering women."—MRS. MARY BARSHINGER, Windsor, Pa. ABSOLUTE SECURITY.

NEBRASKA THE LAND OF PLENTY I wonder why it is that so many men spend their days working hard on rented farms, barely making enough to get along, with no great prospect ahead of owning their own homes, when within a few hours' journey is a land of plenty Nebraska—where all kinds of grain and fruit can be raised with the least amount of labor; where cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a handsome profit; where the climate is healthful and churches and schools abound; where land is cheap and can be bought on very easy terms. Think of this, and if you want information about the country send to me for "The Corn Belt," a beautifully illustrated monthly paper that tells all about Nebraska, and also for "The West Nebraska Grazing Country," an interesting illustrated booklet containing a large section map of Nebraska.

Boston, Mass.—In response to a call first issued in June by Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee institute, the first convention of the new formed National Negro Business Men's league opened August 23 in Parker Memorial hall. Some 150 delegates from various parts of the country were present when the meeting was called to order. The delegates represent the business interests of the race in almost every state of the Union. Besides the delegates there were about 300 auditors in the hall, with a fair sprinkling of white people. Dr. Samuel B. Courtney, chairman of the local committee, called the meeting to order and read Mr. Washington's call, which explained that the purpose of the league was to form an organization which will be of mutual benefit to all our business men and will also show the world their abilities and accomplishments along business lines. Mr. J. J. Smith, of Boston, made the address of welcome. Mr. Smith compared the persecution of the race to that of the Jews. Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer, of Washington, reported the results of his investigation of the economic condition of the race. A list of officers, with Booker T. Washington as president, was elected. Mr. Washington spoke on the objects of the organization. Mayor Hart and Wm. Lloyd Garrison were among the speakers. DUNBAR DRUGGED AND ROBBED Tough Experience in New York—Took a Drink and Became Unconscious. New York City.—Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet, reported to the police on August 19 that he had been drugged and robbed. He said he had been working hard during the early part of the evening and was very tired. About midnight he started to go to the house in Ninth avenue, where he was staying temporarily, and he met William Ricks. Ricks invited him into a saloon and advised him against going through West Thirty-seventh street, as, he said, it was dangerous. He accepted Ricks, invitation. He then started on through Thirty-seventh street to Ninth avenue. This is all he remembered until 3 o'clock the following afternoon, when he awoke on the top floor of a building on West Thirty-seventh street. A family which he knew told him that he had been found unconscious in the hall and they had put him to bed. As soon as Dunbar examined his pockets he found that he had been robbed. His diamond ring, a gold watch and chain, some money, and some trinkets were missing. He thinks that "knock-out" drops must have been used. Will Organize a Club. Zanesville, O.—Messrs.

Good Advice to Young Men. Hettie Green, in a recent issue of the Ladies' Home Journal, rightly says: "One trouble with many young men who start out in business is they try to do too many things at once. The result is they don't know as much as they ought to know about any one thing, and they naturally fail. The trouble with young men who work on salaries is that they're always afraid of doing more work than they're paid for. They don't enter into their work with the right spirit. To get on and be appreciated, a young man must do more than he's paid to do. When he does something his employer has not thought of, he shows that he is valuable. Men are always willing to pay good salaries to people who will think of things for them. The man who only carries out the thoughts and ideas of another is nothing more than a mere tool. Men who can be relied upon are always in demand. The scarcest thing in the world to-day is a thoroughly reliable man." ACRO-British Subjects' Appeal Afro-British Subjects' Appeal. New York City.—A number of the Negroes who were injured in the recent riots on the West Side and who are also British subjects have appealed to the British consul for redress and a communication signed by 16 of them has been placed in his hands, Alfred A. Akins, a native of Jamaica, who is a porcer employed by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, swears in an affidavit that on the night of August 15 he was "brutally assaulted and beaten by a mob without cause or provocation." He further declares that when he was finally put in an ambulance the mob spat upon him and the police made no effort to restrain his assailants. He has been in the New York hospital since the disturbances. THE DEWEY HOMESTEAD. A portrait of the man in the foreground. The above picture shows the house where George Dewey was born December 26th, 1837. It was occupied by the Dewey family until after the death of the Admiral's father. It then came into the possession of Captain Edward Dewey, who sold it to its present owner and occupant, T. R. Gordon, Esq., in the summer of 1889. Mr. Gordon moved it to its present site in the following February 1890, and has occupied it until the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon are unfailing in their courtesy to the thousands who visit this shrine, the birthplace of Admiral Dewey. A recent letter from T. R. Gordon to the Peruna Drug Mfg Co., Columbus, O., reads as follows: "It is with great satisfaction that I find myself able, after an extended trial to write you in this emphatic manner of the good your Peruna has done my wife. "She has been troubled with catarrh from childhood, and whenever she has a cold, or any unusual condition of the weather it was worse than usual, and seemed more than she could bear. The dropping in her throat at night prevented refreshing sleep, in fact, we had come to look upon it as incurable, and from the many remedies used in vain, we had reason to. "We are thankful and happy to say that your "Peruna" has been of great benefit to her, and I confidently look for a complete and entire cure. High praise is not too much to bestow upon your remedy." T. R. Gordon. Address The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus O., for free book on catarrh. The Perfect System Has Been Evolved by a Resourceful Little Woman. All the women at the church social had acknowledged their utter inability to manage their husbands, when a timid looking little matron who had been ignored by the rest was observed fidgeting in her chair, says the Chicago Chronicle. At last she spoke, at first with hesitation, but growing bolder as she progressed. "My system is an old one," she said. "It's based upon the natural born contrariiness of the human male biped. "We will suppose that I am just perishing for a new tailor made dress, although I have one that Jack thinks ought to see me through the season. Very well. I make up my mind to have a new tailor made dress, and I hunt around my women friends to find out who has recently acquired a stunning tailor made dress. I tell her my little scheme and she comes and visits me while Jack is home, and she wears her new tailor made dress. She looks tremendously fetching in it, of course. When she goes I don't say a word. I wait for Jack to say what I know he's going to say. "By Jove, my dear,' he's bound to remark, 'wasn't that a swell rig, though, she had on? Say, I wonder how much those togs cost—anything within reach?" “O,’ I say, ‘$45 or so, but I wouldn’t care for a dress like that; it’s too tight and too conspicuous, don’t you think? “No, I don’t think anything of the sort,’ my brave Jack is almost bound to say. ‘I think it’s just the real thing, and it’s a wonder you wouldn’t dress the way I want you to dress, my dear. Now, I like that dress, and I’m blamed if I’m not going to have you get one just like it,” etc. Result: I get the dress, which is just exactly the kind of a dress I am perishing for. “Another case. Supposing I am particularly anxious to see some theatrical star who is going to be in Washington next week and I feel that Jack isn’t very enthusiastic about going. “I see So-and-so is going to be here next week, Jack,’ I say, casually, ‘I never thought much of his—or her—acting, did you?’ “Jack drops his paper and regards me from a very great height indeed. me from a very great height indeed. "Now, my dear, that just shows how vitiated you have permitted your theatrical taste to become,' he will reply in nine cases out of ten. 'So-and-so's way at the top in my estimation and I wouldn't miss seeing him—or her—next week for anything. What's more, I'm just going to take you along to see if you can't learn to appreciate,' etc., etc. Thus I go to precisely the theatrical attraction next week that I've been waiting to come around this way all the season. "Still another illustration: Supposing I want to go to the seashore this summer instead of to the mountains. I begin about now attacking the seashore to Jack—not violently, but in a mild sort of way. "I think it is stupid at the beaches,' I say to him, and I keep on saying similar things until he bursts out with: "That's a queer way to talk, isn't it? If it's so stupid at the beaches then there must be millions of stupid people in this country that have all kinds of fun at the seashore every summer. I don't know where you're going this summer, but I'll tell you one thing, I'm going to put in my vacation at the seashore.' Thus that is accomplished. "The poor human male biped can't help it; he's born contrary, but he's so dreadfully, hopelessly easy when you know how to make out of his very contrariness a tool wherewith to manage him." Truth of a Proverb. The man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client has often been admitted with much sorrow and expense. A new instance of the old truth has recently been reported by a contemporary. Some years ago a southern lawyer brought suit against the South Carolina railroad for damages to his property. He lost the case in the superior court, but insisted upon carrying it to the supreme court, where he represented his own case. He began his argument by saying whimsically: "May it please the court, there is an old French adage which says: 'A man who is his own lawyer hath a fool for a client.'" The next week the supreme court pronounced its decision, which was adverse to the southerner. He was in Augusta at the time, but received the announcement of his second and final disappointment by means of a telegram sent him by a prominent judge, who was an intimate friend of his. The telegram read as follows: "Judgment for defendant in error. French adage affirmed by supreme court."—Youth's Companion. THE DELICATE FLAVOR. Unique Method of a French Chef Who Made a Most Palatable Salad. At one of his famous little dinners a prominent professional man of Washington was greatly pleased with the salad, as were also his guests. Evidently it was partly meat and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new, distinct and undeterminable. This was so faint that one guest declared: "It's not a taste at all; only a smell." At length some one suggested, says What to Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe, upon which the host remarked: "My man greatly dislikes being asked for recipes. On this occasion, however, his vanity may overcome him if we tell how greatly we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad in particular. At any rate, we'll see." The Frenchman soon appeared, and was visibly affected, not to say elated, by the compliments. "Eet gif me great plaisir," he said, "to tell how I mak ze sal-lad. Eet ver seemle. I haf ze laitue 'rrange ready, an' I haf ze maat chop ver 'fine an' dry; de celeri I haf chop ver 'fine, and I haf ze a leetle an' dry; zen I mix zem up.

IT GOT HIM A LICKING An Ohioan's Hard Luck When Starting Out as a Newspaper Reporter. Col. N. S. Jones, who presides over the matrimonial bureau of the probate court, had his newspaper aspirations chilled in a moment when he was starting out in life. He was living in the little town of Genoa, O., and the proprietor of the country weekly asked him if he would not write a "quib" occasionally, says the Toledo Bee. The colonel promised, as he saw an opening in the newspaper field, and had long yearned for a chance to secure a place in the profession which seemed to him to offer many inducements. Consequently he wrote up several items. Hard luck came at the start. Among the first of his items was the following: "Our esteemed friend and fellow townman, Seth Bennett, is the greatest man in the world. He licked his wife the other night and came out without a scratch." Hardly had the paper appeared on the street before Seth was on the lookout for the colonel, and found him. Now all that the colonel remembers of the fray was that he gave Seth a harder fight than Seth's wife had done. But he severed his connection with the paper immediately. He carried scars for weeks to remind him of his first and only experience as a molder of the public mind. A. Female Enigma. Even the census enumerator, armed as he is with sweeping authority, doesn't find his work always as calm as sailing on a summer sea. An enumerator in a New York district encountered a female enigma whom he had to report to the government from data obtained from the following conversation: "In what year were you born?" asked the enumerator. "In 1846," answered the lady. "Then you are 54?" said the enumerator. "Indeed, I am not. I am 52," she retorted. "And yet you were born in 1846?" "That is what I said, sir." "Then you must be 54." "No; 52." "Well, how do you account for the additional two years?" "I don't account for them. I don't have to. It's none of your business. I was born in 1846 and am 52 years old, and that is all there is about it. I know my own age, I suppose."—N. Y. Sun. Dangers of the Socratic Method. This happened at a well-known San Francisco Sunday school: Teacher—"When you look around and see all the fine houses and stores and lots, do you ever think who owns them now? Your fathers own them, do they not?" Boys (in chorus)—"Yes, ma'am," Teacher—"Where will your fathers be 30 years from now?" Boys (in one shout)—"Dead." Teacher—"That's right. And who will own all this property then?" Boys (in ungrammatical concert)—"Us boys!" Teacher—"Right. Now, tell me, did you ever in going along the street notice the drunkards lounging around the saloon doors waiting for some one to treat them?" Boys (heartily)—"Yes, ma'am, lots of them." Teacher—"Well, where will they be 30 years from now?" Boys—"Dead." Teacher—"And who will be the drunkards then?" Boys (in enthusiastic chorus)—"Us boys."—San Francisco Wave. It Would Not Hurt Him: A man who looked the typical tramp came into a drug store on Main street yesterday. He was unshaven, ragged, and with that air of uncertainty that tramps have. The drug clerk thought he was after a hand-out, either of cash or medicine, but such was not the case. The man wanted to buy. He held out a bottle to the clerk and announced his desire for five cents' worth of fluid extract of sarsaparilla. The clerk took the bottle and was about to fill it, when he noticed it was full of eggshells broken fine. "Shall I rinse it out first?" he asked. "Never mind," said the man. "It don't matter.
