BRANHAM HYDE
The above picture is that of Branham Nelson Hyde, who will graduate tonight from the West Side High school. The exercises will be held at the auditorium. Young Mr. Hyde has a bright future before him. He is one of Des Moines boys, having attended the Irving public school, and then entered the West Side High School and graduated from the
DECORATION DAY.
Yesterday was memorial day, which annually occurs in America, when friends cease their daily vocation and labor and pause a moment in this busy world to pay a loving tribute to their departed dead. Not only do the old soldiers do this, but all who have friends that have passed into the great unknown. Hence we all, both old and young, the middle age and the grey-haired have friends and relatives who have gone before us, therefore it is one of the great days of life. It brings back to our memories the sweet recollections of early life or the dear memories of our loved ones we use to associate with and enjoy life together. The sound of the drum and life recall the civil war, veterans and their heroism. To see these grey-haired veterans marching to the sound of music to pay a tribute to their departed comrades and drop a tear upon their graves with a flower is grand and inspiring to the young American youth. May we ever reverie and honor them and cherish their tender memories
One of our exchanges expresses itself as extremely glad to have the opportunity of presenting the likeness of Hon. T. Thomas Fortune, of the "New York Age, to many of its readers. It says further that for fifty years the pen and voice of Mr. Fortune has defended our race, etc. Gret Scott, is the man dead? Fifty years—and does the writer think that Mr. Fortune will be fattered by that statement? Where shall we place his age?—The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind.
It is true that the Bystander made the above statement with no reflection whatever, except with honor and praise that a few men of our race could spend his life in public service without falling or subject to race criticism. If the good editor of the Freeman would read history he would know that some of the best statesmen and public men that our country has produced have been in public life more then 50 years. His own senator, David Wolsey Vorhees, served Indiana in public life 50 years, also David Turpie was before the public that length of time. Iowa has a senator who has served in Congress more than 42 years and over 60 years in public life. Speaker Cannon's voice and pen has been heard for more than 50 years. Our own beloved Frederick Douglass' public career dates from 1837 to 1895, 58 years of public service. There are scores of others we could name. It is true that we put Bro. Fortune's service a little strong, by about 9 years.
The Sunday School Concert will be reproduced at the Union Congregational church Tuesday evening, June 4th.
scientific course. He is a member of the football team Mr. Hyde will enter either the State University at Iowa City or Ames college this fall. We all expect much of this model young man who is well liked by all who know him. His father, Mr. R. N. Hyde is a prominent citizen of our city. We are indeed pround of this young man and wish for him success. He was born in our city in January 1887.
COLORED ELKS
ORGANIZE LODGE
ROCK ISLAND,
(Special to Bystander.)
Riverside Lodge of the Independent Benevolent Order of the Elks of the World, the first colored Elks lodge in the city, was organized last evening, in the colored Masonie meeting rooms in Rock Island, I. W. Warden, the assistant grand organizer of Chicago, and T. W. Alam, the district manager of Elks. We are pleased to have the lodge. The new order is about three years old, and this is the second lodge in the state of Illinois. About 10 members were initiated last creation and several more are expected to come this evening, raising the number to 50. The purpose of the order is the institutional and moral advancement of the member. The following are the officers who were elected:

Jamestown Exposition Notes.
Few persons outside of "the charmed circle" can realise how many talented and capable Negro artists there are in this country. In nearly every city, town and hamlet, the race can boast of colored men and women who can do very creditable work in oil, pastel or on china, and the number of sculptors who are constantly designing original creations in peaster and bronze, is surprisingly large. In the Negro building will be found many choice specimens of the taste and skill of these budding artistic geniuses, and their productions will admirably supplement the paintings and sculpture of the more widely-known masters of the craft, such as Miss Meta Vaux, Warrick, of Philadelphia, Henry O. Tanner of Paris, France; Miss Bertina B. Lee, of Treton, N; J. Isaac Hathway, of Lexington, Ky.; Mrs. Lottie V. Wilson-Moss, of Niles, Mich.; Mrs. J. E. Givens, of Louisville, Ky.; and others of much promise. Visitors to the exposition of either race should not fail to give the art display in the Negro building a large share of their attention.
A number of carefully selected students of Fisk University will do guard duty on the Negro reservation during exposition term,
Mrs. J. P. H. Coleman who conducts one of the best appointed drug stores in Newport News, Va., is planning to equip a similar establishment to serve the people on the Negro reservation, who will need drugs, medicines, toilet articles, etc.
Mrs. Coleman is an honor graduate of the pharmaceutical department of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and is conceded to be one
of the most competent pharmacists in the land. Her model drug store on the grounds will be a great convenience.
The Metropolitan Merchantile and Realty Company of New York, capitalized at $1,000,000, just erected a fine building at 46th street and 8th avenue in the nation's metropolis, and is preparing to open a mammoth department store therein, is arranging to have an exhibit that will be worth while. The president of the company is P. Sheridad Ball, one of the race's truly representative men of business.
As far as practicable, the exhibits will be classified by states. It thus behooves every ambitious colored citizen to look to his home bailwick and see that it is properly represented in the massive display.
The display of work prepared by the Sheldon Kindergarten of Topeka Kansas, will be worth seeing.
J. S. Steele, Grand Master of the United Brothers of friendship of the state of Illinois, is engaged in preparing to have his fraternal organization appropriately represented at the Jamestown Exposition.
W. T. Scott, now editor of "The Leader," published at Springfield, Ill., will have on exhibition copies of the first Negro daily issued by colored men in this country.
The photographic exhibits of Messrs. Battey & Warren of New York; A. L. Macbeth, of Charleston, S. C., Daniel Freeman and A. N. Seurlock, of Washington, D. C., and Harry Shepherd, of Chicago, Ill., will be notable features. They are all experts in their line, and do an excellent business in their respective communities.
A.
REV. J. C. REID D. D.
Of Sloux City, the hero of church rally.
Never in the history of Mt. Zion Baptist church has there been such generously displayed by white and colored citizens alike in raising funds to pay off the indebtedness of the church, which amounts to $1,350.00. The effort made last Sunday by Rev. Dr. J. C Reid surprised the members and friends who had been discouraged with the prospect of the church.
Rev. Reid came to this city nearly six months ago, when the colored Baptist was about lose their property, which is valued at $4,000. He immediately originated and organized plans to save the property, and as a result of his work six hundred and one dollars ($601.00) in cash was placed upon the rally table Sunday; out-standing pledge $65.00; material for repairs $55.00; making a grand total of $702.00. The memorial of the church is less than 40, and the amount of money raised by the church workers is considered nothing less than marvelous.
A new basement will be built and general repairs will be made after applying two-thirds of the amount of cash raised to reduce the main debt.
An elaborate program was rendered at each service. Rev. Dr. R. T. Chippehoff of Whitfield M. H church Rev. Dr. E. T. Stevens, pastor First Baptist church; Atty. D. C. Schull, were the respective speakers.
Of the stated amount raised, $65,00
was brought in by the Silver Leaf club.
Mrs Cora Harris n. President; S-wing
Circle, $13.71, M. K. M. V. Morgan, Pres-
ident; Sunday School, $7.98; the chureh
$194.98; I. E. G. Eublethake $105.00; the
pastor $170.00 cash and $40.00 in
material.

Good Words for Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
People everywhere take pleasure in testifying to the good qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs. Edward Philip of Barclay, Mc., writes: "I wish to tell you that I can recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. My little girl, Catherine who is two years old, has been taking this remedy whenever she has had a bad cold since she was two months old. About a month ago I contracted a dreadful cold myself but I took Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and was so well as ever. This remedy is now by all fingers."

Rev. W. L. Tenney D. D. of Chicago and a representative for four years of the American Missionary Association delivered an address at the Congregational Church last Sunday morning, subject "A Practical Solution of the Race Problem" and it was one of the best addresses that I have heard for sometime, as Rev Tenney has been in every Southern state except one during the past six months, he is in a position to see the condition of our race, among other things he said we must grow from within, that is have leaders among our own race and those leaders should be good Christian and have a good education, morals be honest and punctual, and he said one Afro-American of that type could have more influence with his race than five such men of the Anglo-Saxon race, he also paid a glowing tribute to the work that H. H. Proter was doing in Atlanta Ga., (it will be remembered that Rev Proter was in Des Moines a few years ago, hence the people of the Capital City have heard him).

Relief from Rheumatic Pain
"I suffered with rheum tism for over two years," Mr. Rolland Curry, a patrolman, of Key West, Fla. "Sometimes it settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk, at other times it would be in my feet and hands so I was inescapable for duty. One night when I was in severe pain and lame from it my wife went to the drug store here and came back with a bottle of Chamberlain's pain BaM. I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the night. I kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove rheumatica away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for over three months." For sale by all druglab

A Chance for a Baccalaureum.
An Irishman, who had begun to pres- tice photography, went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in, which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "We 'l'." said the chemist, "it will be two tropes as it is, but if you want anything in it, I won't charge you for the bottle." "Then," said Pat, "but a cork in it."
Devices of Defense
What could be more perfect defense than the device of the moorhen? She sinks herself in the water beneath an overhanging root or bank, leaving only her bill in sight. And that looks like a fallen leaf. You may stand within six feet of her and she will not move, so sure is she that her ruse will succeed—London evening Standard.

The Beautiful Soul.
The colored sunsets and the starry heavens, the beautiful mountains and the shining sea, the fragrant woods and the painted flowers—they are not half so beautiful as a soul that is serving Jesus out-of-love in the wear and tear of common, unphetic life—Exchange.

A chair for a $750 or $755 for a Chippewa armchair, Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $80 and $190.—New York letter

STATUE FOR HERO
LAWTON MEMORIAL UNVEILED
AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Urge Valuation of Roads as Commission Sees Fit—Talks of Over-capitalization.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 31.—Memorial day here attracted extraordinary interest from the visit of President Roosevelt and his address. But the Lawton monument, the occasion of his visit, vied with him in attracting attention. The unveiling speech was really made by Governor Hanly, who passed away in battle to the general slain in battle with the Filipinos in December 1899.
Another feature of the exercise was the reading of a poem to the reading of Lawton by James Whitch Riley.
The Lawton monument is the result of the work of the Lawton monument commission formed in 1900, soon after the death of General Lawton in the Philippines. The Commercial club and the board of trade co-operated in the formation of a commission which raised by popular subscription $6,000. The commission work had charge of the creation of the statute. The work was done partly by an American student, Andrew O'Connor.
The monument stands in the court house grounds, facing southwest. The bronze figure nine feet high, surmounting a stone. The figure is erect, clothed in khaki uniform and stands beside a cactus on the ground. York, the statue was taken to Paris and cast in bronze by the cire perdue (loss was) method, which has given the bronze a beautiful tone and surface. The figure was exhibited in the salon in 1906 and received the jury's award of a second medal, granted only once by the French Academy of Indianapolis, Ind. May 31.—No backward step in railroad regulation, is the keynote of President Roosevelt's address here at the Lawton unvelling yesterday afternoon. The president's attitude toward the question of the government and the railroad is drastically infused is plainly and emphatically for further control.
The president -sald in part;
"Every federal law dealing with corporations or with railroads that has been put upon the statute books during the last six years has been a step in the right direction," the administration under these and the preexisting laws has been right and proper. There can be no swerving from the course that has thus been mapped out in the legislation actually enacted by the legislature. I have asked for further legislation. "There will be no halt in the forward movement toward a full development of this policy; and those who wish us to take a step backward or to stand still, if their wishes were true, will have the aid they had invited an outbreak of the early railroadism they fear. "There must be vested in the federal government a full power of supervision and control over the railways doing interstate balancing. A power in this area must be complete as that, the government exercises over the national banks.
"It must possess the power to exercise supervision over the future issuance of stocks and bonds, either through an national, incorporation through an international or in some similar fashion, or by other means, include the frankness of everything which would attractors and the public at large have a right to know.
"It should be declared contrary to public policy henceforth to allow railroad companies to deal with anything but the transportation business, certainly not to the hazards of speculation.
"For the very reason that we desire to favor the honest railroad manager, we should seek to discourage the activities of the man whose only concern is the management of their stocks.
"Railroads should not be prohibited from acquiring connecting lines, by acquiring stocks, bonds or other securities of such lines, but it is already well settled as contrary to public policy that acquires bonds to acquire control over parallel and competing lines of transportation.
"The movement to regulate railways by law has come to stay. The people of this country have made up their minds—and wisely, made up their control over all kinds of public corporations, including railways. Every honestly managed railway will gain and not lose by the policy. The men more anxious to manipulate tasks than to make the management of their roads efficient and honest are the only ones who have cause to oppose it."
MRS. M'KINLEY LAID AT REST
Remaina Lald Beside Those of Marytured Husband.
Canton, O., May 31.—The body of a Saxton McKinney reside beside her husband in West Lawn, church, and husband in words, "O God, why should I longer wait? Let me lobe beside him," have been answered.

A broad lavender ribbon fluttered from the street, and only a few mourning and only a few intimate frides housed the house during the forenoon. Aside from the ropes strung along the streets there was nothing to indicate that a ceremony of unusual import was about to take place. It was a small, funeral services were actually being held on the streets became crowded and the crowds were held in excellent check by the local police. The pallbearers were Judge Henry W. Harter, John C. Dueber, and Joseph B. Prue, Robert Cassidy and George B. Prue, and Austin Laundry, pallbearers; and Austin Laundry, B. Shields and C. C. Bow

SUMMER STILL AFAR OFF
BUREAU SEES NO PROSPECT OF IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
Frost in Lake Region—Cold Wave Has Been Particularly Severe in the Southwest.
Washington. — Remarkably unseasonable weather with a cold wave extending throughout the country east of the Rocky mountains, thermometers in some sections registering the lowest temperatures for the season in many years, is reported by the weather bureau. Tuesday night the bureau issued the following special notice:
"Frost warnings have been issued for the middle Atlantic states and the eastern lower lake region, western Colorado, east Wyoming, Utah and northern Arizona, and warnings of "freezing temperature for western Wyoming."
Weather bureau officials say that there is no immediate prospect of any summer weather anywhere. The present cold wave, they add, has been running through most of the present month. Heavy frosts are reported to the bureau from Michigan and other states of the lake region. The cold wave is particularly severe in the southwest, and due, according to the weather experts, to the heavy rains in that part of the country. Forecaster Harry C. Frankenfeld of the weather bureau said:
"The reason for the cold weather we have had during the past two or three months is that the high areas of pressure have moved eastward from the northern portion of the country almost continuously and these have caused cold north winds. That is the only reason I can give for the cold weather areas. As to what makes these high areas keep up all this season is more than I can tell." Not since 1882 has the abnormal reason I have encountered in this part of the country. It is five degrees below the normal temperature for this month. A temperature of 44 degrees was recorded at the weather bureau early Tuesday and 59 degrees at eight o'clock at night.
Charged With Conspiracy to Defraud the Government.
Denver—Charged with conspiring to defraud the government out of 9,000 acres of coal lands worth over a million dollars, located in Routt county near the town of Lay, the Wisconsin Coal Mining company, its officers and agents of Milwaukee, are made defendants in an equity suit filed in the federal court Saturday for the recovery of the land, which, it is alleged, they secured through the means of dummy entrymen and entry women, who conveyed the lands to the corporation as soon as they had secured it. Criminal action is prevented owing to the fact that the statute of limitations has run against the entries.
While the corporation is charged with planning to rob the government of 9,000 acres of land, it secured only about 1,400 acres through the fact that only eight entrymen's titles were perfected.

Governor Must Appoint Another to Heard Fear Murder Case.
Sandy Hook.—Special Judge Redwine Monday refused to preside in the trials of Judge Hargis and his alleged co-conspirators for the murder of Dr. Cox, and Gov. Beckham therefore must appoint another special judge. Judge Redwine said on the bench that the cases had been transferred here without his knowledge or consent, and because of certain states of the press he felt that it would be impossible for him to preside. Redwine's action continued the continuance of the trials until Ocock if he new special judge he can call a special term during the summer. Judge Redwine or dered the clerk to certify the fact of his vacating the bench to Gov Beckham at the earliest possible moment, so that a special judge can be named.
The killing of Dr. Cox occurred on Sunday night, April 13, 1902, and was the first of the series of murders in Breathitt county that resulted in the Hargies and their alleged henchmen being accused and arrested.

One Redeeming Feature.
A youthful New York artist recently invited a friend to dinner in her studio. As the bachelor malfi skill was greater in mixing colors than in catering to grosser tastes, the dinner was something to gush one's teeth at and upon. The roast chicken was tough, the potatoes were underdone, the pineapple salad was pithy. In angush of mind, the young hostess sank to the depths of her blooming joy as well as delightful, I assure you," said her guest, a charming woman who would cheerfully have perished at the stake rather than utter a tactless word: "I have rarely tasted such tender gravy."
Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

"But why don't you care to take children?" asked the lady who was hunting for a fat. "Because they take up too much room in the elevator." grumbled the despotical janitor.

"What? He won't come down the steps?" "No; he will slide down the banisters."

DR. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board of Health.
"What shall I eat?" is the daily inquiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment, a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully cooked food, in Grasshopper, enables me to speak freely of its merits.

FIXING. THE

lll clerk walked into the shipping

and carefully moved the high stool.
Gut he did not alt down,
“What's wrong?” asked the ship:
etng’ clerk,
“I qure hate to tell," the bill clerk
anawered, “but I guess I'l have to re
ate all the harrowin’ details. My
wife's never satisfied, 1 been makin’
& garden’ all week around the barn,
aut that ain't enough, Yesterday
‘Mornin’ at the Dreakfaast table she
ays, sudden lke:
“‘Busophiis, that bar's. got to be
ehingled. ‘To-day's a mighty good day
to do tt!
“Well, sir, there wasn't nothing to
o but get to work. So I got a shovel
to rake the shingles off with and then
U got m ladder to climb up on the root,
The ladder was kind o' wobbly, so my
wife sald she'd hold it: I was carry-
in’ the spade in ono band and our kid
was belpin’ my wife hold the ladder.
Ya gone up aboyt six rounds when
the pesky thing got ahaky. One o' my
toot: slipped and went right in my
wife's face. She howled an’ I got
scared. I dropped the foo! spade and
Te hit the Kid pquare on top of the
ead. He howled, too. ‘Then the lad:
ter broke tn.the middle’ an’ I dropped
tn the rainbarrel,
“Well, we laid off about an hour for
repairs and then wo went atiit again,
Upatehed the ladder up and this time
{ got to th’ root all right, Then 1
started to make those shingles fly with
that shovel, And T got along fine, too.
That is, till T got down to the eaves.
Then I dldn’t have any place to stand.
‘When the Gutter Gave Away.
“‘How'm I goin’ to got. these
shingles off’ I yelled to my wife, who
‘was sittin’ on the porch.
‘stand in the gutter,’ she yelled
back. I dld—for about two seconds.
‘Then the gutter broke an'et me down
{tm th flower garden on top o' three
rose bushes and a cactus plant. Ain't
It funny how mad a woman gets? she
idn't think nothin’ of all them stick-
ers in my hide. Sho just gave me
‘about 17 lectures ‘cause I broke those
rose bushes. There wasn't anythig
[could say’ back’ cause my wife
talked too fast. When that woman
feta started you might as well try to
stop a 10,000 horsepower benzine
Dugey on a slayin’ expedition.
“T must a guessed wrong,’ abe says,
tndignant Ike, ‘I don’t think you can
shingle that barn.’
“Well, that sure did make me sore.
fupand told her just to watch her
‘busband an’ she'd seo some develop-
ments. I pat the ladder up against
the barn—atter I'd pleked most 0 the
stlekers outen me—and started to
‘work again, I had to stand on the
ladder and pull the abiogles off with
‘my hands. About every two minutes

yelled. Twas gettin’ mad. ‘I guess 1
know what I'm doin’ I'l drive th
nails in as I go along. Til save time
by it! Well, I climbed up over the nalls
to the top o' tht barn, I’néver saw
s0 many nails in my life as there were
sticking outen those undertimbers. Th
men that did that Job certalnly weren't
stingy. When I got to th’ top o° th
roof I found out 1’ forgotten to bring
my hammer. I started down—an

‘about a mile a second. ‘Then I landed

pulled me out, Bleedin*t Ob, no. 1
Just looked Ike somebody had started
‘a butcher shop and uged me for the

SALT CELLAR OF LONG AGC.
Wes Distinctive Mark of Costs in the
Middle Ages.
"this is in a stouten salt cellar," said the cook, "it is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent, eh? In the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you shush have sat, eh? Queen manners they had sat, eh? The fastidious and virtual knives, forks and spoons, that the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich rank food—awans, herons, poripises, garlic, verilice, saffron. There was meat and wine in the and ushers stood, whose duty and convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually moving for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn, dinner, ten o'clock, supper, four o'clock in the afternoon."
TAKING NO MORE CHANCES.
Keepsers Had Special Cartridges For Poor Marksmans.
Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shellburne Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor marksman: "Visiting his English brother-in-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pleasant absurdity. He clamped away curious horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keepers smiled at one another oddly. Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper, who was no more, air; the man answered, "No more? Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box." The keeper flushed and stammered: "Ah, but them ain't for you, air. They're for another gent. They've got in 'em, air."
Extravagance in Press.
KARAVAGGIA IN THE
KARAVAGGIA OUTSIDE OF THE
glittering circle of our enormously
rich families, who constitute what is
referred to as "the best society," can
understand how any young woman in
this or any other country can spend
upon her wardrobe such vast amounts
of money as are expended by the
daughter of the world. But the world does not
show such reckless extravagance in
the way of dress. Nor, for the matter
of that, does the history of the
world show so riotous use of money
as that practiced by our very rich in
their strictly social developments.
In the city of New York, women

"I had a friend," said the boarded man, and got out of paying the wizard. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, pane quietly out, and had his man show the bill collector in the parlor while he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down. Not on the first visit. Not as filled up in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three-bed have been suffocated."
Good Enough for the Dog
Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's lapes from correct speech, all the more because his reports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively, one day, "why do you keep telling him so, set up, when you know sit up is what you should say?" "Oh, well, mother," Bobby answered harshly, of course I have lots of grammars, but I don't like to waste it on Mayo, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog."—Youth's Companion.
Speaking of Father:
Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when clenched hips hit the big pillow. "Huh that's nothing." My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the cannon and killed the whole war."—Jude's Library.
"Woman is naturally - more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yee," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance, every time she started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, i suppose, that some day he'll say 'no.'"
Sach to His Trade
"I'm more useful than you are," patted the colt. "Yes!" replied the bulldog. "You don't say" "Yes." You should see me go for the sheep when they start to run away." "Well, not wait until some tramps come long here and when they start to run away watch me go for the calves."

NOT ALL A COMPLIMENT.
Wife's Pride in Husband's Success
Had a Tinge of Regret
The doctor and his wife had lived to
together four years. She was a widow
when he met her. He was a physician
of note. Their life together was a hap-
ily one and no quibbling had entered
the home to set a bad example for
their hopeful. But the wife had a
reputation as a wit. Her witlessism
and little sarcastic femininity
snow far far beyond her friends had
them. They had all felt the
tang of them. The physician had
been working with a hard case. He
had spent day and night at the home
of his patient and had won the fight
for life. And he was accordingly well
satisfied with himself. On his arrival
home one evening he turned to his
wife, saying: "You see, wifey does
I have pulled my patient through. He
is now well on the road to recovery."
Yes, amuby, with a perfect master of
your profession. You are so successful.
Ah, I wish that I had met you
five years sooner than I did. Then
my poor, dear Billy would never have
fled."
CLEVER TRICK OF THIEVES.
Use Offensive Odor of Onions to Aid in Shoplifting.
"Iincredible as it may seem," said Leeoq, the detective, "there are a number of shoplifters who steal by the agency of the onion. These abandoned men, before setting up upon their contemplated crimes, eat of raw onions abundantly. Then they stroll into the sliversmith's or the haberdasher's or the jeweler's that they propose to robe. 'Show me those large solitaires surrounded with pigeon-rubles, please,' says the jeweler thief. The clerk brings forth the tray of gems and, bending over the tray, the sighs with delight. His face close to the vices, his sighs again. And the clerk's nostrils quiver and he turns away his head. The inspection of diamonds continues for some minutes. Throughout it the thief keeps breathing hard, the clerk keeps turning his head away and hence it is no wonder at the day's end that a couple of costly rings are missing."
A Dog Worth Knowing.
A Dog works
Two years ago, a boy 14 years old named Edward Sweeney, living at Opelia Aln., followed home by a small dog. The animal was bobbed and squinted-eyed and by no means good looking, and the boy was laughed at for having him around. Within a week, however, the dog brought home a five-dollar bill in his mouth. The next week he brought a silver dollar. Then he brought a pocket knife, and followed that with a dollar bill. There has hardly been a week in these two years that the dog has not found something. He makes it his business to hunt the streets and highways, and often travels a distance of 20 miles. Up to the present date he has found, and brought, home $23 in cash, besides many useful things.
The woman of the island of Yemen, whence it is supposed came the original inhabitants of Japan, have a very peculiar custom of making up their faces to look as though they have mustaches. These women are called Alas, and upon the upper lip of each Alas bell is tattooed something that resembles a long, flowing mustache. To possess an artistically tattooed ornament, the woman is especially attractive and her chances of making a good matrimonial alliance are very small if she is not thus adorned. As a matter of fact, the men of the island choose their spouses more for the beauty of this tattooed design than the grace of form or charm of feature.
The Pet Animal Stage.
"Why don't you get you a cat?" saked her woman friend. "You wouldn't be half so lonely if you had some little live animal like that always around." "I haven't come to the animal stage yet, thank heaven," she replied. "When men and women lose all hope of human life they go to the animal kingdom, the men to the dogs, some literally, and the women to the cats, perhaps since faithfulness is to be found mainly among the animals; but as I say, I haven't quite arrived at that stage of the game yet."
Her First Impressions:
"The first impression is the one you should always go by," the little grass wedge advised. "I know by experience. I have never yet had a husband that I liked at first sight. He always had to win me. Then, after I had been married awhile, I invariably went back to my first impression of being a woman, and I wore worse till I had to leave him. I shall never marry again," she finished, "unless I fall head over heels in love with him the first minute I meet him."
Best Sleep of All.
"I see that an eminent physican declares that two hours of sleep before midnight are worth more than six after that hour, one senses that the morning is after room called is the morning are worth more than anything else."
Dull Times.
"Hello!" said the funny man to Finagan the undertaker. "I suppose your business is dead with you." "Faith. It's worse than that," replied Finagan. "Shure, I haven't buried a living" soul.
