DAN HICKS KILLED. In trying to awing himself off of Wabash train No. 4, as it was leaving the union station Saturday last night, "Dick" Hicks, living at 604 Vine street, was caught in a switch, dragged under the train and both legs cut off next to the body. Hicks had been on the train bidding a friend good bye. When the train started, he hurried to the door and at tempted to get off at a point about forty feet east of the cast line of Fifth street, on the side next to the station. His right hand was crushed; but, aside from that, he was not injured above the hips. One leg was so tightly wedged between the rails that one rail had to be pried loose before the remains could be moved. Mr. A. L. Corbet of Corydon, who was standing about twenty-five feet away, said: "I saw the man come the steps of the car and jump off," said Mr. Corbet. "If I am not maken he jumped off with his back to the engine, a very foolish thing to do, so it seemed to me. He seemed to catch his foot in some way. I can't tell how he managed to get it under the train, so he must have had to go in order for it to be caught as it was; but I saw him jerk himself a few times as if he was trying to pull loose, and then he was drawn under the wheels, and fell just as you see him." "Girl" Morton who was with Hicks and had jumped off the train just ahead of him, said that he heard the man call and looked down the track just in time to see him throw up one hand. Morton cannot explain just what happened. All that he is sure of is that he grabbed Hicks' bloody hand and tried to pull him up; but he says that the car seemed to strike his leg as the foot tightly into the switch, dragging Hicks under the wheels and appearing to wind his legs around them. The chair car and sleeper passed over him. Mrs Hicks was standing on the station platform when the accident happened, but was prevented from scophe her husband. Hika leaves a wife but no children. He was about 35 years old. He had been a barber by trade, but for some time had been working at about 40 jobs, some time as cook in restaurants. Lately he has been doing housecleaning, packing and such work. The funeral services were held at his home Monday afternoon and the remains were buried in Woodland cemetery. ENTERTAINING FICTION One advantage of reading a serial story in a daily newspaper is that an installment of convenient length is received every day that does not consume an undue amount of the reader's time. An installment of a high-grade serial story appears in every issue of the Chicago Record, Herald, a popular feature of that entering Chicago daily. Among the successful stories which have been recently enjoyed by Record-Herald readers are "Soldiers Fortune," by Richard Harding Davis; "The Thrall of Lief the Lucky," by Ottile Liljencrantz; "Triatram of Blent," by Anthony Hope, "When Knighthood was In花瓣," by Charles Majer; "Alice Old Vinecennes," by Maurice Thompson, and "Graustark," by George B. McCutcheon. Every issue contains also a short illustrated "human interest" story on the editorial page. Readers of The Record-Herald can depend upon a never-failing source of pleasant entertainment in the noteworthy fiction that is always to be found in its columns. IOWA CITY. The Halloween party given last evening at the home of J. B. Brown was a pronounced success. With the wails highly decorated with corn stalks grass, pumpkins and other characteristic Halloween features, the room presented a novel scene. Instead of brilliant electric lights, hideous jack o'lanterns turned the soft broken light for the rooms, and the guests dressed in the novel spook-like grab of Halloween added more to the scenic effect of the occasion. Each number of the informal program received an encore and a happy hand-clapping responded to every announcement of some favorite Halloween dance rendered by the Edward Carter Mandolin club. The feature of the evening was the baritone solo, "The Holy City," sung by Pope Harold of Marshball, Texas. The hostess, Miss Nora Brown was assisted in receiving by the Misses Beasle and the Mason. The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Roy McClain of Chatham, Va., and Mr. Shaw of Richmond, Va., Mrs. Jackson of Washington, Iowa, Mrs. Redrick of Grinell, and Miss Delta Green of Memphis, Mo. The University students are Mr. Ed. Carter of Buxton, M. D. '07; Mr. David Lewis of Cedar Rapids, M. D. '07; Mr. Wesley Thomson, L. A. '04; Mr. Laurence Clyton Jones of St. Joseph, Mo. L. L.

EDITORIALS. The great victory that Hon. A. B. Cummins received at the recent election cannot be taken except as to show the popularity of the governor among the common masses, and his personal strength in Iowa especially, when we know that the corporations, trusts, and a few old ring politics have attempted to say that he was not so strong and popular as two years ago and that he was loosening friends. Even the state chairman of the republican committee only expected him to carry Iowa by about 60 or 65 thousand majority. His friends claim that he was just as popular and even more so than two years ago. His large plurality of 80,000 was due to his great ability and the many position that he has taken on the national questions, as the tariff, trust, reciprocity and race problem. That he is stronger, take the counties of Iowa and compare this years vote with two years ago: In Decatur county the republicans usually carry the county by about 200 plurality. This last election the entire republican county ticket was defeated from 45 to 150, but Gov. OUR GALLANT Stands For Human quality and No Special Privileges, But Fair PRESIDENT A special to the Chicago Inter Ocean, dated Washington, Oct. 31, gives out President Roosevelt's reply to Senator Gorman of Maryland touching the race and other questions. The special says: Washington, D. C., Oct. 31.—"If I could be absolutely assured of my election as President by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln I would be incapable of doing it, and unfit for President if I could be capable of doing it." This was President Roosevelt's comment to friends to-day on the speech of Senator Gorman last night, attacking him for receiving Booker T. Washington at the White House and inviting him to Cummins carries the county by 380, running ahead of the ticket. There can now be no question but what Governor Cummins is the strongest public man in Iowa, and in the future, as he has in the past, will continue to adorn and elevate the chief executive chair of our commonwealth. He is the brightest of Iowa's many noble sons that has yet appeared in the great arena as statesman and is the logical running mate next year with Roosevelt. His loca- tion, his oratorical ability, his broad ideas on public questions, his age, commending appearance and his great popularity in the middle West and West would bring an overwhelming success to the party next year. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Again the chief executive of this nation speaks out in defense of human liberty and absolute equality, with no special privilege or class laws. In this week's issue we publish his letter, which is just as broad and strong for the equal rights of all, as if he was not a candidate for re-election. He is without doubt the best friend of the race that has ever sit in the Presidential chair. His broad and liberal ideas, noble heart, with a will power to do what he knows to be right, regardless of corporations or those Southern fire eaters who hate the intelligent colored man, cannot control or scare him by threats. He has done what all other presidents should have done—to simply do his sworn duty when he took the oath of office; yet all the other presidents would fail to do their sworn duty. Our race men sometimes think that the real American men have forgotten the real duty of human T PRESIDENT in Liberty, Univers- Equality. Treatment to All the People. ROOSEVELT remain to luncheon. The President continued: "I do not expect to be elected President by the special privileges; nor by the most radical labor union men, who would shut out all other men from an opportunity to work; nor by those who would close the door of hope against the colored man as a citizen. They are all demanding special privileges which cannot be recognized by the President, whose oath of office binds him to execute the laws for all alike and recognize none as above the law. If I am elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations." liberty as taught by the forefathers on the bleak New England hills and Plymouth Rock. But we predict that so long as we have such true, noble, high minded, liberty loving and out spoken statesmen as President Roosevelt, Ex-President Cleveland, Justice Brewer, Governor Durbin, Yates and Carnegie, we as race men need have but little fear but what an equal opportunity will ultimately be granted the good, worthy and honest of our race. Price, Five Cents. We received the sad intelligence of the death of Mr. Robert Good, one of the pioneers of Leon, Decatur county, Iowa. She died last Saturday. Mrs. Good has many friends in this city and state who will be pained to learn of her death. We extend condolence. We publish what the Decatur County Journal says: Mrs. Robert Good "Boastnot thyself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring fourth." This is not only the language of scripture but it is the language in which every day experience expresses itself as well. A single day may not be long but it is long enough for death to play sad havoc, as we find in this instance. Aggie Vennreble was born in Richmond, Ray county, Mo., on April 2, 1850, and died at her late residence in Leoon, Iowa, November 7, 1903, being 53 years, 7 months and 5 days old. Her early life was spent in her native state. In the year 1872 on the 25th day of December she was united in marriage to Robert Good. When 27 years of age she united with the M. E. church of which she has been a consistent member until her death. In 1875 the deceased with her family located in Leon: Mrs. Good has always enjoyed the respect and confidence of the community in which she lived. Her christian character has been irreproachable. Her kindness of heart and charisability of disposition has brought cheer to many hearts in distress. For many years she has been an invalid but death came nevertheless suddenly and unexpectedly. She ceased at once to live and went to be with God. May the influence of her life prove a benediction to all who know and loved her. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. I. N. Woodward of the M. E. church on Sunday, Nov. 8th. The remains were carried to their last resting place in the Leon cemetery by members of the Grand Army Post. The Grand Jury of St. Clair county, Ill., have indicted fourteen of the leading citizens of Belleville for assisting to lynch David Wyatt, the colored school teacher last June, and when they have their trial the first of January it looks as though some of the good Christians in that locality will have a chance to break into jail, or into the pen at Joliet. —Broad Ax, Chicago. BURLINGTON, IOWA. On Friday of last week Mr. Ollie Folks met with a sad accident while delivering for Chas. Weis out on West Hill. The bridle broke and the horse started at a break-neck speed down Green street, sausage, weeses, wblogs and liverwurst were scattered from one end of the block to the other. Mr. folks made a fruitless attempt to capture the fleeing animal; his cap went one way, his pipe, which he never forgets to carry, another and his eyes could have been knocked off without ever touching his nose. A lady hearing the racket came to her door to see ipoor "Oil" chasing up the street. He stopped and asked to use her phone, she told him to go into the dining room, but the poor fellow was so excited that he had a great deal of trouble in finding the right room. MUSCATINE NOTES.

MUST RATIFY CUBAN TREATY NATION'S HONORAT STAKE Chief Executive Declares the United States Has Commitd itself to the Policy He Outlines —Advantages of the Tranity Made Plain. Washington, Nov. 10.—President Roosevelt's message, explaining the object of the special session of Congress, read to the Senate and House of Representatives this afternoon, is as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: sensitive: I have convened the Congress that it may consider the legislation necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the Senate at its last session and subsequently by the Cuban government, demanded not only by our interest, but by our honor. We cannot with propriety abandon the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of the Congress of the United States, this government thereby definitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent republic, she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain other countries, and our team of international policy and it necessarily followed that she must also to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is, it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the island by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been impressed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. We have no doubt that any idea that there is the intention to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the assaults of foreign foes and for the better safeguarding of American interests in the waters south of us. Advantages of the Treaty. These interests have been largely increased by the consequences of the war with Spain and will be further increased by the building of the Italian embassy in the United States and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, and is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sister republics and is the only one observing her obligations to us; and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American interest is sacrificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market is secured to our producers—a market which lies at our doors, which is already large, which is especially important to the development of our export trade. It would be indeed short sighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such an opportunity and to force Cuba into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on consideration of our national policy as by our economic interests. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many industries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy and because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, merchants and manufacturers. Finally, it is desirable nation toward her young sister republic to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound with our. Our Duty to the island. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and integrity of our administrators who served her in position and the difficult path of selfgovernment. We must help her onward and upward; and helping her, we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now, with equal force, support the legislation by the congress which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty, as amended by the senate and ratified by the senate, THEODORE BOOSEVELT White House, Nov. 10, 1903. Mr. Hunter—What is your favorites wild game?

Washington, Nov. 9.—Senate—With galleries crowded, with the chamber a mass of elaborate floral tribunals and nearly every senator in the second extraordinary session of the fifteenth congress.

No business was transected. House.—The house of representatives of the Fifty-eighth congress today held its first session and except for the naming of committees, which will follow later, organization was assigned to the members of the boards, whose elevation to the speaker-ship was assured months ago, was formally elected speaker and inducted into office. Mr. Cannon received the applause of democrats and republicans for his speech, and the authority of demonstration being most complimentary to the newly elected speaker. The old officers were re-elected and the customary resolutions adopted providing for the appointment of committees to notify the president of the convention of a speaker and clerk, and a committee to join a senate committee to notify the president of the presence of a quorum in the two bodies. The hour of meeting was fixed for 15 o'clock. The rules of the Fifty-eighth congress were added to the Fifty-eighth congress by an aye and nay vote of 191 to 165. Washington, Nov. 10—Benson. Today's session of the senate was devoted exclusively to the reading of the president's message and affection for his wife, the Cuban treaty were referred to the committee on foreign relations. House—Immediately after the house had been called to order the message the senator read, the speaker announced the committee on rules as follows: The speaker, Dalzell, republican Pennsylvania; Grovenor, republican Ohio; Williams, democrat, Mississippi; McCormick, democrat, Mississippi. As a mark of respect for the memory of Mr. Forderer, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Boering, of Kentucky, the house adjourned. Washington, Nov. 11—House. The house was in session only five minutes today. No business was transacted. NOMINATION OF CANNON. Republican Caucus Names Him as Speaker of the House. Washington, Nov. 8.—At the caucus of the republicans members of the house of representatives held in the hall of the house last night Rep representative Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois was unanimously chosen as speaker of the house. This action assures his election Monday. Representative Hepburn of Iowa was elected presiding officer of the caucus and Representative Dallzell of Iowa was elected secretary. The roll call showed 180 members present. Representative Dallzell of Pennsylvania placed Mr. Cannon as nomination. After Representative Sherman of New York had seconded it, the selection was made. A com-mission of the House of Representatives Homemore of Indiana, Sherman of New York, and Mann of Illinois, appointed by the chairman, proceeded to the appropriations committee room and there notified Mr. Cannon of the action of the caucus. He was escorted into the chamber where he was greeted with applause. He briefed the caucus for the honor conferred upon him. A resolution was adopted making the elective officers of the house in the last congress the pinnies of the caucus for the Fifty-eight congress of the House; Henry Gasson,orgent at arms; Frank B.

If any drunken scalaward of a scholar, who had drifted ashore on his boarding-house mud-flat, had ventured in a moment of alcoholic reminiscence to say so in the classic tongue, Shanghai Smith would have "laid him out cold" with anything handy, from a stone-ware match-box to an empty cup. He had used his mother tongue, as altered for popular ase in the West, and had murmured: Jerusalem, but Mr. Smith's the daisy m all! Smith would have thrown out his chest and blown through his teeth a windy oath and guessed he was just so. "Say it and mean it, that's me," said Smith. "I'm all right. But call me and I am hog; don't you forget Appasently all the world called him "bog." For that he was no better than one, whether he walked, or ate, or drank, or slept, was obvious to any sailor with an open eye. But he was not a man of the sea. The bull-headed courage of a mad steer combined with the wicked cunning of a monkey. "Don't never play upon me," he said often. "For 'get even' is my mother. There slickn't walkin' this earth that can say they bested me, not from the time I left Britain in the old dart till now. I'm known the wide world over." So far as ships and sailors were concerned he certainly spoke the truth. He was talked of with curses in the Pacific from the Pryblioffs to the Horn from San Francisco to Zanzibar. He was long odds at any given time in any longitude that some seaman was engaged in blaspheming Shanghai Smith for sending him on board drunk and without a chest, and his new shipmates with than a bottle of vinegar and water that looked like rum till it was tasted. Every breeze that blew, trade wind or monsoon, had heard of their inigusties. He got the best of everyone. "All but one," vald Smith in a moment of weakness, when a dozen men, who owed to much money that they crawled to him as a Chinaman does to a joss, were hanging upon his lips—"all but one." "Oh, we don't take that in," said canary indeed; "we can certainly believe that, Mr. Smith." Sometimes this unusual flattery would have ended in the flattering be thrown out. But Smith was now gently reminiscent. "Yes, I was done brown and never got the best of one swine," said the boarding-house keeper. "I don't ask you to believe it, for I own it don't sound likely, me being what I am. But there was one swab as give me a He looked them ever malignantly. hidin', and he give it me good, so he did." He looked them over malignantly. "I kin lick any of you here with one hand," he awure, "but the man as bested me could have taken on three of you with both hands. And I own I was took aback considerable when I run against him on the pier at Sandridge when I was in Australia fifteen years ago. He was a navy officer, the Warrior, the Warrior, up to kill, though he had a face like a figure-head cut out of mahogany with a broad aurea. And I was foolish." What the Rothschilds are to Paris and London, so are the Bielechroeders to Berlin—that is, a power in the financial world. The ladies of the great financial families of Europe enjoy all the privileges and have none of the crushing responsibilities of royalty. Almost invariably they rise to the occasion and the charitable works organized by them may be said to be as limitless in number as they are in scope. This has always been as true of the wives and daughters belonging to the house of Bielechroed as it is of the women who bear the honored names of Rothschild, of Goldsmid and or Mocatta. Temper and the Tongue. A tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.—Washington Irving. Street Car Workers. Five hundred and sixty thousand persons in the United States are dependent upon the street care for support. good and in need of a scrap. So when he humped agin me, I shoved him over—prompt. I shoved him. Down he went, and the girls that knew me laughed. And two policemen came along quick. I didn't care much, but this naval jossers pick himself up and goes to 'em. Would you believe it, but when he'd spoke a bit I seed him donate that about a dozen dollars of damage on his head, a heap of damage on the wharf and the captain buttoned up his coat and came for me. I never seen the likes of it, he comes up dancin' and smilin', and he kind of give me half a bow, polite as you like, and inside of ten seconds I knew I'd struck a cyclone, right in the spot where they breed. I fight good—you know me—and I got in half a dozen on his face. But I never faxed him none, and he wouldn't bruise morn' hittin' a boiler. And every time he got back on me I felt as if I'd been hurt. He scared me something cruel. I could see it by the blood on his face, and he wouldn't make of his fists was made of teak, I should say. And in the end, when I seemed to see a ship's company of naval officers around me, one of them hit me under the ear and lifted me up. And another hit me whilst I was in the air, and a third landed me as I fell. And that was the end of it, so far I remember. When I came to, which was next day in a kind of sailors' hospital, I reached up for a card over my head, and I read 'concussion of the brain' on it. What's more, I believed it. If the card had let on that I'd been run over by a traction wheel, so he could be wreathed. I believed it. And when I really came to my senses, a medical student says as Captain Richard Dunn of the Warrior had bin to inquire when the funeral was, so he could send a wreathed. They said he was the topside fighter in the hull British Navy. And I'm here to say he was." "And you never got even?" asked the bartender, seeing that no one took up the challenge. "Never set eyes on him from that day to this," said his boss regretfully. "And if you did?" Smith paused, took a drink. "So help me, I'd Shanghai him if he was King of England!" and one of the crowd, who had put down the Francisco Chronicle in order to hear this yarn, plecked it up again. "Selp me, he said, in a breathless excitement, 'ere's a bally cohnlidence. Ere's a telegram from 'Squmault, saying as how the flagship Triumphant, Hadmiral Sir Richard Dunn, K.C.B. is comin' down to San Francisco!" "Holy Moses, let's look!" said Shanghai Smith. He read, and a heavenly smile overspread his hard countenance. He almost looked good, such joy was his. He looked at the crowd, "set up the drinks for the crowd. This is my man, for sure. And him an admiral too! Holy sailor, ain't this luck?" He went out into the street and walked to and fro rubbing his hands, while the men inside took their drink, and looked through the uncleanned windows at the boss. "Holy Mackinaw," said Billy, who had drifted West from Michigan, I reckon never to nev seen Mr. Smith so pleased since he shipped a crowd in the Harvester, and got 'em away that night and shipped 'em in the Silas J. Jones." "He's struck a streak o' luck in his mind," said one of the seamen; "and it's this 'ere hadmalr. Now, mark it 'ere wouldr. 'ere were hadmalr for the sake of California. Mr. Sir Blooming Hadmal, K.C.B, ot setterer, is going to aave 'a time." He shook his head over the melancholy fate of a British admiral. "Rot!" said one of the younger men; "lain't possible to do nothin' to the likes of an admiral. Now. If 'was a lieutenant or a captain, I'm not sayin' as Mr. Smith mightn't do somethin'. But an admiral——" "You mark me," said the older man, "I'd rather be as green grass and ship as an able-bodied seaman with Billy Yates of the Wanderer, than be in that hadmirals shoes. What do you say, Tom!" Tom filled himself up a drink and considered. "Waal," he answered after a long pause, it's my belief that it won't necessary be all pie to be an admiral if the boss is half the man he used to be. For you see its quite evident he has a special kind of respect for this man and that Mr. Smith has been done by anyone that he respects, he don't ever forget. What you know yourself that if one of you goes to do him, he'd forgive you right after he'd kicked the stuffing out of you." This clear proof that Mr. Smith did not respect them and was kind Illustrated Victim of Overwork. One of the busiest women on earth, Signora Mathilde Serao, the Italian novelist, has worked herself into a bad attack of nervous prostration. She began life as a telegraph operator in Rome, but took to literature, and after years of incessant work found herself on the summit of success. In England she she contributed daily to a leading Italian paper, entitled a review of her own work, extensively, sailed a yacht, did a good deal of traveling and maintained close personal supervision of a large family of children. This amazing amount of work resulted in a complete collapse of the signora's nerve system and she is now in absolute seclusion. Lose Egyptian Trade.

The city of Davaig, in which Schop enhancer was born, has no monument to him. received without a murmur. And as the boss did not return, the tide of conversation drifted in the carrower, more personal channels of the marvels that had happened in the "last ship." And in the meantime H.M. M. A. known familiar to the Pacific Coast station "the Nonseuch, two Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, K.C.B., to his fate is San Francisco. "Was there ever such luck—was there ever such luck?" murmured Mr. Shanghai Smith. "To think of him turnin' up, all of his own accord, on my particlar stampin' ground! And I'll lay odds she's clean forgot me. No, I brighten up his memry with sand and canvas and canvas-mouli-mouli, so I will! Holy sailor, was there ever such luck!" The morning of the following day H.M.S. Triumphant lay at her anchors off Succello in San Francisco Bay and was glad to be there. There was a wet ship with playful habit of trying to scoop the Pacific Ocean and, though our tricks would have broken our trusts the Chief Naval Architect had he seen at them, she was the flagship in spite of her conduct, because at that time she was the whole Pacific Squadron. The "Sic, it's the penitentiary!" other half was lying outside Esquimalt Dry Dock waiting for it to be finished. And when the Chronicle said that "Dicky Dunn" was the admiral, it had not lied. If any of paper's reporters had known "Dicky" as his men knew him, he would have spread himself in a column on the admiral's character and personal appearance. "He's the dead-split of a boson's mate, to be sure," said the crew of the Triumphant when they received him at Esquimalt. "An 'ard nut he looks!" And a "hard nut" he certainly was. Though he stood five feet nine in height, he looked two inches less, for he was as broad as a door and as sturdy as forore-bitts. His completion was the color of the sun when it sets in a fog for fine weather; the skin on his hands shone and was as pale as the sun and his eyes piercing. He could roar like a fog-horn, and sing, as the crew said, "like any angel." There wasn't the match of "Dicky" any of the seas the wide world over. The only trouble was that he looked so much like the traditional sailor and buccaneer that no one could believe he was anything higher than a warrant officer at the most when he had none of his official gear about him. Though the admiral did not know it, he was able to catch him when he set his foot on dry land at the bottom of Market Street was the man he had licked so roughly fifteen years before in Melbourne. "Oh, it's the same," said Smith to his chief runner, who was about the "hardest case" in California. "He ain't changed none. Just so old he was when he set about me. Why, the galot might be immortal. Mark him, now; will you know him anywhere?" "It don't pay me ever to forget," replied the runner. He had to remember the men who owned him grudges. "Then don't forget this one," said Smith. "Do you find me a considerate boss?" "Oh, well——" said the runner ungraciously. "You've got to do a job for me, Billy." "And what?" "I'm goin' to have this hyer admiral shipped before the stick on the toughest ship that's about ready to go to sea," replied Smith. Billy filmed. "Sir, it's the penitentiary!" (To be included.) Decidedly. Otherwise. The two young persons had consented for a consideration to stand on an elevated platform in the open air and be married in the presence of the immense crowd at a street fair. After the ceremony was over their friends surrounded them. "Won't it dreadfully embarrassing?" were asked. "Embarrassment" schooled the bridegroom, with a broad pin. "I should say not. It relieved the embarrassment. We'd have been married a month ago if I'd had money enough to preach a sermon." Henry Irving's Tact. Henry living once preached quibls a tense sermon on appropriate dressing. A clear young woman belonging to his company appeared at a rehearsal one morning dressed in a lovely gown and aunning hat. Irving commented on the unusual splendor of her getup, when the woman actedress explained that she went to a swell luncheon that afternoon and saved time by dressing in advance. "Then run away to the luncheon first, my dear young lady," said the star "Just now your mind, too, is dressed up for the luncheon and not for work. When you come to rehearsal come looking the part." The young woman, who is now a star, never forgot the lesson which she learned that morning. A Hint of Force. In Paris early in the last century the beautiful Mme.
