TRIBUTE TO BEECHER ONE-TIME FOE TELLS OF HIS WONDERFUL EOLEQUENCE. How the Matchless Orator Quelled Turbulent Mob Gathered to Howl Him Down—The Greatest Moment of a Great Life. "I see they are going to build a memorial to Henry Ward Beecher," said my white-haired Southern friend, who, in spite of his soft voice and gravely gentle demeanor, had been a fire-eater in the old days. "It's time they did, and I shall send in my subscription." I looked up surprised. "I thought you fought for the other side during the war." "So I did, and perhaps that's why I know he deserves a monument," said the colonel, smiling. "I know he was the greatest orator who ever lived." "Demosthenes and Cicero ain't in it, I suppose?" "Not with him," the colonel insisted. "Let me tell you a story to prove it." So I settled back in my armchair—the colonel's reminiscences were always a little vacation in my work-a day life. "You know during the war I was sent to England by the confederacy to work up public sentiment for our side. Well, there were a number of us, and we worked up a good deal of sentiment, so much so that Abe Lincoln began to take notice of it, and after a while he sent Beecher over to make some speeches against us. "When Beecher landed in Liverpool the town was already billed for his first speech, and we were already there in force to see that he shouldn't make it. The night came and the hall was packed, largely with our sympathetic and with men whom we had interviewed to hoot and make cat calls, and utterly drown out the speaker's voice. It wasn't exactly generous, I admit, but you know, those were deserate days. "So when he entered it was pandemonium let loose—you never heard such a rocket. He had to come in at the rear and walk the whole length of the hall down the middle asile through a howling mob of enemies. I can see him now as he braced myself, shook that man of his, walked slowly to the front and climbed the platform. He took off his overcoat deliberately and put it and his hat on a chair, he tested a reading desk that stood in the front, found it, loosed him, put out of the way. Then he turned, walked slowly to the front, faced the whirlwind a minute, and then said, in a voice that went through our yelling like a cannon ball through a cotton field. 'Boys, this ain't fair!' "We forgot to yell for a minute, stopped to tread breath against him, and in that pause he hurled upon us the most wonderful sentence that ever fell from the lips of mortal man. A thousand times I have tried to reword it, but always in vain. I know only that it appealed to the British love of fair play, to the old, historic British sense of justice. And I know from that first moment every man of us forgot why he was there—utterly forgot himself and his country, and I know also that within ten minutes we were breaking the hush with cheers that took the roof off. Cheers, yes; sir, we who were there to silence him, who hated him and his cause. He had left, not till it was all over and we had left, that place of magic did we realize what we had done. If you can find in all history such another miracle wrought by an orator I'd like to know of it. "I tell you, he was forever hurling thunderbolts that night that were lightning flashes from him. He was not like a man, but some supernatural power. Every soul there fell under the spell, even the reporters. The London papers all sent their best men, with orders to take him, but not one of them got beyond 'Boys, this saint fair.' The London Times actually discharged its representative because of his failure. Ten or fifteen years later I met Beecher. He agreed with me that that night in Liverpool was the great moment of his life, said that then, and then only, he had felt as though possessed by a god, as though uttering not his own words, but those of some other man. I thought that the one speech by which he would like to be remembered should have perished in the utterance."—Atlanta Constitution. This is the Latest Disease. Fantis is the latest malady to attack the human race. It is a disease to which only civilized people are subject. Moreover, it is prevalent in summer, and persons who frequent summer gardens and cafes are liable to be harmed. It is nothing more than an ordinary cold or neuralgia produced by the drafts created by electric faps. Nevertheless, physicians in a spirit of humor have chosen to give it a semi-scientific name, and many practitioners are confident the malady under its new nomenclature will prove as popular as la gripe or appendicitis.

Melancholy had been doing her best to mark the umpire for her own but up to the eighth inning she had not been able to leave a dent. He was not of the few whom nature seems to have especially fitted for the responsibilities thrust upon them in this life. Quick of speech, haughty and overly caring and others, indirectly involved in the plea he delivered his decision in a way which almost invariably commanded respect even though it failed to carry conviction. But the penalty which he paid for success in his career, was a heavy one. His disposition was irrefriably ruined. He had become habitually sarcastic. A player on whom three strikes had just been called was speaking up with all the enthusiasm of a man who realised that this is a free country and the voice of the people as it ascends from the bleaching board is on his side. "Tree strikes nottin" was the loud laconic comment which caused the empire to look upon him with a most resentful and exclaim! "What's dat?" "I said tree strikes nottin, an' dat's what." The altercation proceeded until, in a paroxysm of indignation the player lifted his bat as a weapon. "Look out!" shouted one of the players. "He's goin' to hit ye." But the umbrella never flinched. "Don't ye have no fear," he said as he stood in statusque defiance "After what he's been doin' at the bat I don't feel that I'm runnin' no risks whatever. He may strike at me, but there ain't any mortal chance of his touchin' anything."—New York Times. NOT MANY IN HEAVEN. Why Little Girl Thought Few Would Be Eligible. A small girl who lives in an elegant home on Central Park West has troubled her mother very much by her very careless regard for the truth. One day her mother had a very serious talk with the little daughter, and ended up by telling her that liars could not go to Heaven. The small daughter reflected for a time and then said: "Mamma, do you ever tell lies?" "Certainly not," replied her mother. Sudden recollections sweeping across her mind, she hesitated and added: "Sometimes, of course, when it is impossible for me to see people, I see downward for me am not at home. But that is meekly to keep from hurting their feelings. It is not lying. That night when her father came home she said bluntly: "Papa, do you ever tell lies?" "Certainly not," replied her father, with astonishment and some indignation. Then he began to fidget a little, and after awhile added: "Of course, when I'm selling goods I can't always tell all I know about them. It's the other fellow's business to know what kind of goods they are. That isn't lying though; that's just business." The small girl reflected again, and after mature consideration, spoke. "I don't think that I want to go to Heaven," said she; "there won't be any one there but God and George Washington."—New York Times. What Constitutes a Family: The question as to what constitutes a "family" is often up before the railroad officials. Some railroads are quite liberal in their definitions. The Pennsylvania Railroad company's uefinition in regard to a pass bearing, a man's name and family is that it is only good for himself and members of his family who rely upon him for support. Some of the European roads are more liberal. J. B. Hutchinson of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, who has just returned from a trip abroad, said: "I was struck with the liberal sense of work and work and family is good for on the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean railroad." He had copied the instructions bearing on this subject. They were as follows: "A pass for one and family is good for father, mother, children, grandfather, grandmother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece and servants attached to the family." The Woman's Joy. I fondly held upon my knee Firm, firm and weed; With joy all mothers understand I kissed her feet, each little hand. The little eyes that yet I knew Each tiny, dainty, ciselled ear.

BEAD STRINGING FAD REVIVED BY WOMEN AND CHILDREN O NEW PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR CANALBOATS Sketch From Plans of the Power Boat Traveling on the Chain. "O, ms, buy me some o' them big blue ones with the stripes." “An I want some little teeny wonderly ones like the Infuns string.” If you are a mother or an aunt or a sister you will probably recognize these expressions of youthful learning as part of your adventures at the bead counters in big stores. For the school children—and many grown-ups THE LEARNING TO OPERATE THE LOOK as well—are stringing and weaving beads with an enthusiasm which makes the arder shown in the bead stringing days of twenty-five years ago seem weak and commonplace in comparison. You don't string beads today exactly as you did under grandmother's tutelage a generation ago. Those mottos like "Touch Not, Taste Not" and "Home, Sweet Home," which you used to niveate out of beads under her eyes are not longer in fashion, and, however, would be considered too easy by the young folk of this age. Weaving beads into Indian designs—beats and moccasins and wampum bags—is the thing now. The adherence to native American art ideals in preference to all foreign types of the beautiful is the dominant note of the new craze. All the city kindergarten schools now have classes in bead weaving. Each class had a quantity of models, which are procured in the downtown stores. There are belts brought direct from the Winnebago county, legging strings from the Sioux reservations, headaddresses from the Zunis, and square braided ropes from the Mojaves, in some of the schools Navajo blankets have been hung as models and their scheme of decoration accurately copied by the young folk. The children are taught to wear on little bead looms which look like portable book racks, knives, and rows of teeth on their hands. Flange threads are threaded from one row of teeth to the other to constitute the warp of the piece to be woven. Then the beads are strung half a dozen or a score at a time on a thread, and finally sewed into the warp a row at a time. NEW PROPUL Option on a majority of the canalboats in good condition now operating on the Erie canal have been secured by representatives of the Inland Transportation company of New York, which, if the consent of the legislature can be secured, intends to put into effect a new system of canalboat propulsion. The canal fleet, which once numbered 7,000 boats, has dwindled now to about 700 serviceable vessels, and of these 400 are fit to carry grain. If the promoters of the new scheme can get a permit from the state to use their system on the canals, it is their purpose to acquire all the boats that are available, although the towing system will be open to all canal boat owners at a price which will be far lower than the cost --- SCHOOL CHILDREN WEAVING DEADS This, continued indemnitely and with great care, brings out the intended design and finishes the work.

The craze has not only extended to all children, rich or poor, but it has laid its hold on grown-ups as well.

An innocent house cat, the pride and pet in a drug store, leaped from the soda fountain to the cash register a SION SYSTEM FOR of mule power. The system is not essentially a new one, as it has been used successfully abroad. The American patents were taken out last February by Joseph C. Tone of Irondequoit, who has used the system to operate a river ferry near Rochster. It consists of chains along the bed of the canal. These are gripped by power boats, which pull themselves along. The chain passes longitudinally through the power boat, going alternately over and under sheaves or rollers. The cog wheels are moved by engine of the power boat. In this manner the power of the engine is directly applied. The bevelgears and sheaves distribute not only the applied power, but also the draft on the chain so that the chain is en ```markdown ``` few feet away Saturday.

Recently at a society of French mothers she brought down upon herself severe criticism by advocating American methods of training girls. CANALBOATS gaged in a number of places. By this device the strain on the chain is also distributed over the structure of the power boat. This enables the machinery to move evenly and smoothly with a minimum amount of strain and wear and tear. The simplicity of the theory is shown in the accompanying illustration. It is asserted that one power boat moving along a chain will be able to haul a fleet of at least twenty-five canal boats, each having a cargo of 240 tons at an average speed of four miles an hour. The aggregate tonnage of this fleet would be 6,000 tons, equal to three good train loads. The estimated cost of this system of towing will not exceed one-half of a mill per ton per mile according to its inventor—New York Sun. ```markdown ``` A PROPHETESS OF GLOOM. Frenchwoman Predicts Galamites for the Year 1903. One of the most serious of the French foretellers of future events is Mme. de Thebes, who, as all who write about her are careful to state, was believed in by so able and so practical a person as Alexander Dumas fils. Recently she published a small book of predictions for the year 1903. Attention is directed to the volume, as in it the writer foretold the burning of a provincial theater. She has accordingly scored some success, as the Grand Theater at Lille, was destroyed by fire Sunday night. Mme. de Thebes says in her booklet that the burning of a Paris theater may also be expected in the present year. Turning to home politics, she announces that there will be a tempestuous time in Paris, the city of the French Republic, endangering peace and particularly in high administrative spheres. In international politics troubles will also ensue, and many complications will arise, inevitably endangering peace and "dragging Europe violently back to the old battlefields." A great Northern state will meet with adverse fortune and Holland will have something to fear from the waves of the ocean. Another prediction is that the ruler of a country bordering on France will meet with an accident. The financial world is to be greatly troubled, according to the French palmist and prophetess, but we may look forward very soon to a scientific discovery destined to effect remarkable changes. On the whole, Mme de Thebes takes a gloomy view of the prospects of the human race gliding through the earth, and she thinks that about the coming scientific discovery. She gives some small consolation by presaging that the international complications to which she refers may not lead to disruption of peace until next year—Paris Correspondence London. Telegraph. Long-Lived Birds. The goose is not the only bird which has a reputation for longevity. When asked as to the age attained by birds, Prof. A. S. Packard, professor of zoology at Brown university, said: "I wish I could give you some exact data as to the longevity of the goose, but cannot find any. Some species of bird reach a great age. Eagles and crows live to be 100 years old. Parrots have been kept for sixty years, and are known to live to be eighty. 'Knight's Cyclopedia of Natural History' (1866) says: 'The tame goose is very long-lived. A certain friend of ours of undoubted faith told us that his father had once a goose that was known to be eighty years old, which, for aught he knew, might have lived the other eighty years. It killed it for his mischievousness in beating and destroying the younger geese.' A pair of eider ducks were observed to make their nest in the same place for twenty years, and it is believed that these birds sometimes reach the age of nearly 100 years. A white-headed vulture in the Schonbrunn Zoological gardens at Vienna had been in captivity for 118 years."—Providence (R. I. Journal). Good Coal in South Africa. Good coal in the British South Africa company, who recently visited Rhodesia, speaks of the "inexhaustible supply of coal" which the advent of the railway to the Wankie coal fields will soon/throw open. He estimates the initial output of the Wankie colliery at 300 tons, daily, and declares that as soon as the railway makes the transport of heavy machinery possible this will be increased to 1,000 tons. With the exception of the best Welsh coal there is, in Mr. Jones' opinion, no better steam coal in the world than the product of Wankle. With the gold-mining industry of Rhodesia people are more or less less coal than copper, zinc and other mineral deposits abound in that region. Mr. Jones further states that the prospects of agriculture are exceedingly hopeful and that facilities now exist for the employment of modern farm machinery. The Fairy's Gift.

Valuable Finds Made in the West Indies Have Stimulated Speculation — Authentic Instances of Finds of Immense Amounts. A party of three, we were chatting on the deck of a steamship during a voyage from Jamaica to Trinidad. The talk fell upon buried treasure in the West Indies, and each of us had his tale to tell. A couple of months ago, said the first man, an American mining engineer, I was in New Providence, and everybody was talking about a mysterious American who had been down in the Bahamas just before. He came in a small schooner, and anchored off one of the small cays, or islands, which are so numerous there. He said he hadn't come for sponges or coral or salt or pearls; but he would not tell anybody what he had come for. One day he hired two men, and got a boat fitted with tinned provisions, tools and a tent. Then he made them row him over to another cay about six miles off—a mere lump of coral and a few bushes, where nobody lives. There he staid for a week, making the men dig like fury in place he pointed out, while he watched over them with a rifle to see that they did not shirk. After six days' digging they came across a heavy, brass-bound trunk. They carried it to the boat and trunk him to the schooner. As soon as the box was aboard he weighed anchor, and not nothing more was heard of him. Nobody knew his name or what he had found; but of course they all think that he had the clew to some pirate hound, and found it. When I was in Haiti, in 1898, said the captain of our party, a Canadian business man, I came across a curious treasure story. A poor man at Cape Haytien, who everybody knew had not got $100 to into a man of wealth, and went in for land speculation. Presently the secret laeked out. The house he lived in was a ruined French chateau, dating back to the days when the French colonists occupied the island; a magnificent old ruin of the type one often sees in Haytil. Sawing through the waluscoting one day to make some repairs, he came across a big cak ennured nixed with French gold pieces, gold and silver plate, necklaces, brooches, watches and other valuables. The box was worth about $15,000. A wealthy speculator in Cape Haytien, hearing of his find, concluded there might be some more chests there, so he offered to buy the box and eventually did so for $2,000. The new man did more than search; he pulled down the house, and in the end found four other chests found altogether to be worth nearly $200,000. The first man got very angry, and wanted to share; but he came off badly. The speculator had political influence, and soon had him flung into jail and despoiled of most of his wealth for the heinous crime of concealing treasure trove from the state. That speculator and his family to-day are among the richest people in Haiti. I recounted a most marvelous, but purely true story told to me in Haiti that he yearned by the skimmer of a turtling schooner from the Cayman islands. He was aboard the schooner one day last spring, anchored close to a reef near the Caymans on which a bark had been recently wrecked. Looking over the side of his vessel, he saw a curious yellow gleam on the ledge of the reef, about eight feet under water. Thinking it was a large sheet of copper or brass, he ordered one of his crew to dive for it. The man came up with his hands full of gold coins—Spanish doublebones, with the arms of Swellon on them. The speculator was in the water. The snapper showed me a lot of the gold in a store in Kingston, Jamala, and sold the entire find soon afterward for over $10,000. At this moment there are two or three expeditions—English and American—searching for buried treasure in various parts of the West Indies. The favorite hunting grounds are the Bahamas, from New Providence as far south as Tortuga and the Virgin Islands—Chambers' Journal. A Leading Question.

The Montgomery Advertiser comes out boldly and declares that the Afro-American is not a citizen of the state of Alabama but a "ward who deserves the care and sympathy of every white man." The race is not hankering for any Alabama "sympathy." A great responsibility rests upon the newspapers of the South. Instead of supporting without fear or favor the enforcement of the law, in many cases they extinute or apologize for the work done by mobs. Grover Cleveland, Lyman Abbott, et al., who claim to be our friends and yet indorse or palliate the attitude of the South in abridging the rights of the Afro-American, are really our worst enemies.

"It is a peculiar sensation, this doubling of the self at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of one's own body and pity. One ever feels his twoness—American, a Negro; two souls two thoughts, two unencrocal stirrings, two unencrocal strangers, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder." The third essay is a criticism of Booker T. Washington, full and frank. The author "And yet this very singleness of vision is a mark of the successful man. It is as though nature must not succeed in the force of his men.

"And when say this, I repeat also that which I have said directly to the members of the board, that they should vention in the South—namely, that any revised state constitution that they have passed should interpret when an ignorant white man is concerned and another when an ignorant black man is concerned, nor the same justice for the highest statesmanship. These new constitutionals should citizenship for both races, and wherever they fail to do this, they are weak and are not accord with the constitution." izations, which show the white and col- lored teeth, and the number of tables, are followed by a summary of statistics which shows that the total mem- ber of the population has increased of over 60,000 since last year. --- These faults, however, serve as a striking contrast to the sublimity of his charisma, which had been attained before his assassination.

While not condoning Arnold's treason, Mr. Todd emphasizes that he conduced and shows conclusively that he four times saved the cause of the attack on Lake Champlain, and he landed on Lake Champlain (the first naval battle, by the way, in which our army defeated the British), valor, he gave the British such wholesome gifts, he gave us the plan of invasion from the north that year; second, by raising the Valley and putting to flight St. Lager's invading army marching to aid Burgoyne, he gave us the plan of battles of Saratoga, which, conjoined, Cressy included in the fifteen deeds of the world. The scene is New York. The hero a dustry, but fortune has fanned upon him: Mr Stephens is particular to seek a familiar neighborhood. He aims to re- produce York's architecture, its manners, its customs. The well-appointed flat the waterside neighborhood is called Bohemian cafe, the chaphouse, the water- side neighborhood are generally common- place enough to seem perfectly natural. The "mystery" seems to be something that must be accepted to accept it for what it is worth we cor- tillarily will not quarrel. Everything is like- ly enough except the explanation when comes.

Mr. Hlowisw will remember the terrible treatment of the Poles during their civil war, and the massacre of most of the incidents narrated in his romance. He writes with the help of the Tartar dragon enthroned in St. Petersburg in the Tartar dragon that holds the half of the city, and he reads ready to crush him who dares to put a straw in his way. *Darkest* the palace, the piles an empire where the sun never sets, people by 130,000,000 of being killed. *Darkest* the palace, the piles an empire where the sun never sets, people by 130,000,000 of being killed. It is an unwieldy mass of heterogeneous humanity in various stages of degradation, at least forty kinds of religiosists hating each other and all hating the pollock and the roach. The little book contains much valuable information. --- SALLY WISTER JOURNAL Saundra, a senior, said, being a Quaker maiden's account of her experiences with officers of the Army, wrote in a letter to Albert Cook Myers.

The professors discover many commonplace things written in a very uncommon manner. "The one who is most contagious of diseases, and few of us are immune. Some vignettes, but once an epidemic begins it is hard to confide it to her who asserts she never has the disease. It is a seed grown in fertile ground, it will germinate and flower long after you have forbidden it and bring forth fruit you never planted." Again: "Flattery is, however, an edible fruit, and not everyone who has the tac to decide at a glance just how much his victim will treat. The author treats of art, science and philosophy, and withal, with much of masterful art as to render this book of --- A story of municipal politics depicting the common and common to practically all large cities. While no attempt has been made to describe the particular locality, the political methods used in particular localities are the experiences of men who have served the public in some capacity or other, and the experiences of some of the characters are literally true. The love interest centres around a socially wealthy young man to enter the local municipality to help the thread of the story which relates to the troubles and complications which follo ANDREWS'S BOTANY. Andrews's Botany all the Year Round. He teaches at the University of Georgia, Ga. Cloths, s92, s82, $1.00. American Book Company, New York. This book is admirably adapted for botanical work in the average high school, and is used in the classroom. It is based on observation, and in this respect meets the popular demand. It is used in observations, and from them to deduce safe conclusions. He is first taught to observe plants, and finally the author treats the essential organs of the plant are taken up, and finally the author treats the roundings—ecology. The book is accurate, and sufficiently full and complete to meet the needs of secondary schools. WESTMINSTER An unsectarian Christian Institution, devoted, specially to advanced education.

LYON & HEALY, 144 Adams St., Chicago. The World's Largest Band Store • Everything Easier to Buy™ TOM MURRAY "He Make Shirt to order 3 for $1.00" A FEW GOOD THINGS, ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. Deacon Knew Well What the Trouble With the Young Men Was Why Count Was Disatisfied With Bride's Dowry. A Lesson on Ethics "My darling," said a mother, taking leave of her newly-married daughter, "in wedded life there is much to bear and forbear; but remember this—never hit your husband with the paste roller or potato-masher. The presence of hair on your pastry or mashed potatoes would lower you in the esteem of your friends. If occasion arises the poker is quite as effective and more ladylike." How Washington "Side-Stepped." "George Washington had a very peaceful and happy married life," remarked the man who likes biographies. "Had he?" responded the coarse and ill-informed person. "I'm glad to hear that. I always suspected that it might be different, owing to Washington's utter incapacity for telling anything but the truth." Slip of the Tongue. "I am going to have a number of friends to dinner to-night, and I will want some lobsters," said the citizen, rushing into the fish market. "Yes," replied the fish dealer, rubbing his hands; "how many lobsters are you going to have?" "Sir!" "I mean how many lobsters will you require." Exacting. "So you had to close the show?" "Yes," answered the manager with the plaid vest. "What was the trouble?" "To much craze for realism. There was a counterfeit scene, and the actors said they couldn't go through with it unless they could see what money looked like once in a while." The Same Old Game. "And who," whispered a member of the legislative committee, "is to get the hot end of this deal?" "The people," wildly exclaimed the irate member who was floating with the reformers. "Oh, well, then, go ahead," said the first member, in a relieved tone. "I didn't know but what it was to be one of us for a change." Fatal Error. Markley—I was foolish enough to remark to my wife that I rather admired those new waists that button down the back. So she got one. Ascum—Well, you practically told her to get it. Markley—Oh, that was all right, but now she insists that she must have a maid to button it for her. Poor Opinion of Esau "What can you tell me about Esau?" asked the Sunday school teacher of the juvenile class. "Esau," replied a little fellow, with all the confidence of one who feels himself on safe ground, "was a weller what wrote a book and swapped the copyright for a mess of potash." Was Worth More. Count (to his fiancee's father, who is a rich banker)—You will only give $100,000 to your daughter as a dowry! I would have you remember, sir, that four-and-twenty ancestors will turn in their graves when I marry a commoner. In the Country Church. A man in a chair is resting his head on a pillow, while another man stands behind the pulpit, speaking to the congregation. The Village Parson (preaching)—I tell you, brethren, fast horses are ruining our young men. Deacon (just waking up)—No, it ain't. It's her slow ones. Phoebe's Feet. She (after the service)—What makes you think my feet are so small? He—I noticed, while we were in church, that you seemed to have no trouble in getting them into my silk hat.—Serafs. A. Sudden Departure. A Sudden Departure. Clapham—Didn't your new cook leave you rather suddenly? Brixton—Yes. She got mixed in her dates. She had a policeman and a burglar call on her the same evening.

"What is the difference," asked the Cheerful Idiot, "between the sultan of Turkey and a travel-tired continental tourist?" The victim didn't even bat an eye, "Because," resumed the uninterruptible, "one is the 'sick man of Europe' and the other is the man sick of Europe. He-he-he!" Nothing In It. At the request of the confirmed dyspeptic the operator was taking an X-ray photograph of the seat of his trouble. "This, I suppose," remarked the sufferer, with a ghastly attempt to be facetious, "is what might be called taking light exercise on an empty stomach." Mazie—He told me that he'd never seen me looking so well as I do now. Daisy—Why, the rude thing!—New York Sun. The Same Way. "I see that the skull of a monkey a million years old has been found in Wyoming." "Now our professors can treat the Indians' ancestors as they have treated ours." "Perfectly Hogman! "I don't believe that man ever doceived anything in his life," said the enthusiastic friend. "And yet," said Senator Sorghum, "you want me to give him employment. You don't suppose I have time to teach him the rudiments of business, do you?" His Reason. Smithkins—There’s old Biffkins. I don’t care to meet him. Let’s turn this way. Last summer I requested a loan of $20. Tiffkins—Well, he ought to have obliged you; he’s rich enough. Smithkins—The trouble is he did.—Smart Set. A Prejudiced Deduction. Waggsby—“So De Wruyter says he wrote ninety-nine poems last year, does he?” Naggsby—“I understood him to say better than a hundred.” Waggsby—“That’s what I meant by ninety-nine. I’ve read his poems.” Obatinacy. “Sir,” she cried, “if you kiss me, I’ll shriek.” "If it's all the same to you," he said "it's inky, you got, chick first?" politely, "why not shriek first. "Sir," she coldly remarked, "I decline to shriek at all." Then he kissed her. What she Wanted I am 5 years old to-morrow, and I'm going to have a cake with five candles on it." "So, you think we are not likely to imitate the barbaric splendors of ancient Rome?" "Not the least danger. In this climate people want fur overcoats, not tunics and togas." Even if Only a Compliment. "When I visit Blackpool in the summer I always pay a visit to my old landlady." "Well, I suppose it's only right that you should pay her something, old man." Positively Brutal. She (at the piano)—"How do you like my playing? I play only by ear, you know." He (a savage bachelor)—"Hem! Why don't you consult an aurist?" A Leading Question. Bobble—Pa, is red a sign of danger? Colonel Rumblossom—Yes; I believe so. "Then why don't you sign the pledge?"—The Smart Set. Joe—to win. You see, my malden effort wasn't a success. Fully Equipped. He—That little girl has her mother's looks. She—Yes, and her father's temper. T. L. Blood & Co.'s READY-MIXED PAINTS ARE THOROUGHLY RELIABLE. ST.PAUL, MINN. A. D. THOMPSON DRUG CO. ST. AND FIRST AVE.
