English Doctor's Theory Which May Explain Many Blunders of History. HULK OF STEAMER GENERAL SLOCUM AFTER FIRE Is there a brief period in every man's life, who has passed the age of fifty-five, and not reached sixty-two, when the heart and brain refuse to respond to crises, and fatal errors, impossible at any other period, are committed? A foremost English doctor says so, and he fortifies his argument with impassioned evidence of the mistakes of history, the sudden utterly unaccountable lapses of judgment on the part of usually able men would be explained. According to the English writer it is at some period between the ages of fifty-five and sixty-two that the faculties suddenly undergo a lapse. The loss is only temporary, and marks often with a black blotch of horrors the psychological change taking place between the meridian of age and the condition afflicting the muscular show tresolution and suspicion without reason, statesmen make inexactible blunders of policy, soldiers commit the most glaring mistakes which cost battles, and sailors lose battleships, while truly railroad engineers run past signals and cause disastrous wrecks. After the danger mark is passed, the acidity and conservatism of old age is the rescue, and the result is seen in the glistening preservation, like Gladstone stone, Senator Hear, Verdil or Gen. Roberts. The controversy provoked by Dr. Osser's now famous dictum that man causes to have creative faculty after the age of forty, and ought to be chloroformed after passing sixty, is likely to be repeated in similar degree by this new effort to determine by years' experience what it is. It is a fact, however, that many instances seem to bear out the idea of the English doctor. HULK OF STEAMER GEN A few weeks ago there occurred between Philadelphia and New York a railway accident that cost four lives and resulted in serious injury to thirty-nine persons. The conditions gave no excuse for an accident, and the deeper the examining probe goes the greater the riddle as to how it could have happened. A Long Branch train was temporarily delayed by a hot box. It came to a stop near Eddington, a small station not far from Trenton, N.J. When the stop was made the usual precautions were taken against the possibility that a train bound in the same direction might plunge into the rear of the one standing still. It was broad daylight, all the signals could be plainly seen, and there never seemed less chance of anything going wrong. Passengers got off the train and washed the engineer at work on the bed. Suddenly, coming at a speed of seven miles an hour, the New York express crashed into the stationary train. When the officials of the road heard the name of the engineer who had been at fault they were astounded. It was George Van Arsdale, a veteran of forty years' railroad service, a man who was always trusted with the fastest trains, and was regarded as the ideal engineer to guard a train on which were famous men. Broken and despairing, crushed with a sense of what he had done, Van Arsdale admitted himself unable to explain. He is a man who never drinks, and on the day of the catastrophe his health was all right, he had no cause George—The ring doesn't seem to fit very well, Clara. Hadn't I better take it back and have it made smaller? Clara—No, George; an engagement ring is an engagement ring, even if I had to wear it round my neck." An idea.

DISASTER AT SALISBURY of wormment, and could give no reason why his powers should have deserted him at the crisis. Yet if we accept the fifty-five sixty-two-year-old theory, the answer is easy. Van Arsblea is within the fatal period. He is sixty years of age. In August last the great steamship Manchuria went ashore on Rabbit Isle and evacuated a group. There was no real evacuation. The captain, JW Saunders, who was on the bridge at the time, assumed all blame for stranding the vessel. The weather was very clear and yet his only excuse was that he mistook the land for Makapu point, a spot which he had viewed hundreds of times before. Capt Saunders was within the fatal age-limit. Early in last July a dreadful railroad smash occurred in Salisbury, Eng., when twenty-seven passengers were taken two highways. The engineer was one of the most trusted in the employ of the railroad, but his judgment and common sense had forsaken him. He was within the fatal age boundary. Two years ago last summer the excursion steamer General Slocum caught fire on her way to H Hellgate, from New York, and over 900 passengers lost their lives either by fire or water. One man whose personality stood out strongest before the world at the burning of the Slocum was Capt William Henry Van Schaik, who was just within the fatal age area. Capt. Van Schaick was placed under arrest as soon as he was able to leave the hospital and tried for negligence of duty. On Jan. 27, 1906, a verdict was rendered holding the captain responsible for the disaster and sentencing him to ten years' imprisonment. An appeal was taken and Capt. Van Schaick released on $10,000 ball. ERAL SLOCUM AFTER FIRE. The antics of Rojestvensky during the Russo-Japanese war would have been ludicrous but for their serious result.

But this was less mysterious than his unprecedented action, which has never been explained clearly, of firing into a feet of harmless British fishing smacks, an action which narrowly missed embroiling Russia in a war with England. Nobody denied Rojestvensky's bravery, his judgment was the offender. Perhaps an excuse may be found for him in the fact that he was more than fifty-five, but had not reached sixty. THE SHIP'S CAPTAIN ADMIRAL ROJESTVENSKY On bridge of his flagship in North Sea. The English general who committed the blunders in the Boer-English war were men between the ages of fifty-five and sixty-two, the Bullers and the Methams. Those who went to the rescue were curiously either above or below the fatal age. Thus Lord Kitchener was at that time less than fifty years old, and Lord Roberts, the much-beloved Bobs, "was getting close to seventy. It was this paid who ended a most humiliating affair of affairs for England, and stopped the bow guards. Dewey, past the danger mark, beat Montjio, in the fatal zone, at the battle of Manila, and so similar instances might be multiplied.

Defective Page The Spanish-American war in Cuba sent theodore Roosevelt to the presidency. Will the present trouble in the isle of unrest do the same for William H. Taft? It is a question that interests the whole American people and suggests a train of coincidences. Before the Maine went to the bottom of Havana harbor no one had seriously entertained the idea that Roosevelt might some day occupy the chair of Washington and Lincoln. The New Yorker, originally a reformer, whom the regulars regarded with suspicion, had acquitted himself with credit as commissioner of police in New York city, and was regarded as a man of ability, but no stretch of imagination had pictured him as one to suddenly vault into the governorship of the Empire state, the vice presidency, and finally the presidential chair by the biggest majority ever given to a candidate for the office. With the descent on Cuba, the rough rider halo, did all this for theodore Roosevelt. It discovered to the American people that he was a man of capacity in all directions. He has borne the subsequent test, and deserved his honors, but it cannot be denied that without the events of the brief struggle in Cuba he might never have been mentioned for the highest office in the land. Taft went to Cuba on a different eruption. Roosevelt went there as man of war for peace, but the Ohio man ought to pay any augury in the experience of the present incumbent of the White House. The Spanish-American war brought Taft, like Roosevelt, to the front as a man of varied abilities. He had been ah able member of the Ohio bar, and had quickly been elevated to the bench by Gov. Foraker. Then President Harrison made him solicitor general of the United States, from which place he resigned to accept a United States lndgship in the Sixth judicial district. judishment in the Sixth judicial district. This was where he stood when President McKinley, always partial to the men of his native state, asked him to accept the chairmanship of the Philippine commission at a time when the problem that the commission had to solve was the most vexed before the country. Taft had been an able, useful citizen, and an ideal judge, but he moved a national figure until, from motives of nationalism, resigned his congenial place on the bench to go to the Philippines. Taft's work in the Philippines called perhaps for more skill and diplomacy than any phase of the tangle following the struggle with Spain, but the 297-pound Ohloan threw himself into the task with splendid enthusiasm, and did all that was required, using his famous smile and perpetual good nature better. Of course he hurts. He danced at a pinnacle ball given in his honor on his arrival, and the way he plotted his bulk through the mazes of the Spanish fandango, delighted the Filipinos more than could the most profound expression of statesmanship. It must not be understood that Taft's work in the Philippines was all plain sailing by any means. Gen. Chaffee differed as to the necessity of keeping the islands under strict military law. Taft though a policy of pacification, argued that to ease al that in the least baited for orifel al that had been gained by the dangerous and costly work of months. The governor prevailed eventually, and the Filipinos soon came to look upon him as their greatest friend. Taft passed from the post of governor of the Philippines to that of secrec A Tragedy of the Exposure. "We don't care so much for ourselves—Chesterfield and I," sighed the meat baron's wife, "but poor Gwendolyn—the dear child's heart is broken, and she would have been so happy as a nobleman's wife" "But has she broken the engagement?" "What else could the sensitive child do? She told Chesterfield to let the option expire as she could never be the bride of the duke of Hortingbarn?" SECRETARY TAFT ON LAST VISIT tary of war when the post was vacated by Ellhu Root. Once again he proved the right man for the right job. More than any man in the country he understood the question that had grown up in Cuba and the Philippines, problems by no means solved yet, but which must be matters of concern for years yet to come. It was a queer circle, big, good-natured "Bill" Taft, the man of peace and fun to be charged with administering the national military service, but the cabinet has known no abler member. It is no secret in National Republican political circles that once President Roosevelt is eliminated, and he has most positively stated that he will not run for another term. Taft stands SECRETARY TAFT. (Latest photograph.) closer to the chance of getting the Republican nomination for the presidency than any other man. Not that there is any other candidate. Root is one, so is Fairbanks, Beveridge and perhaps Cannon, but of all these the leader is Taft. Even without having been chosen to restore order out of the Cuban chaos, Taft had the best expectations, but the publicity that will come to him in the next few months and the virtual certainty that he will be successful in restoring a satisfactory condition in the Pearl of the Antilles makes the speculation on Cuba as a new mother of presidents an interesting one. Taft has long wanted to go on the bench of the United States supreme court, the natural and proper ambition of every great lawyer. A few years ago this was probably the most he could have asked of public life, but he would be less than human if the newer ambition did not engulf the old. He was the experience of Taft to have accomplished the task for which there was no precedent. When he went to the Philippines he confronted a situation such as the United States had never known before. It was a new thing for the United States to become the owner of a foreign island and save people at warfare with the flag of the republic. Now in Cuba, Taft has been dealing with stiff more extraordinary conditions. He assumed the governorship of a nation that the world and the United States recognize as a republic, but whose government was voluntarily and cheerfully turned over to Taft because its own authorities admit their inability to prevent rebellion, strife, bloodshed and anarchy. SECRETARY TAP Greeting some of his old Nothin' Doin' "Why don't you go to work?" queried the kind lady. "A rolling stone gathers no moss, you know." "Dat's all right, ma'am," answered the husky hobo, "but I ain't got no ambishun t' be a mossback, nohow."

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4- It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5- It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6- It asks no support but the people's. A position of more dellecay could hardly be imagined. It is a post that requires firmness, lest in the early stages an outbreak should work damage to American interests and result in loss of life. To come out of all this complication successfully, as Taft has done, calls for abundant patience and good nature, as well as most inspired diplomacy. Indeed, it is a sure indication of the true presidential caliber of the man. It has been said of Taft that he can do more with a smile than any man in public life. Here is another parallel to Roosevelt. When the rough rider chiefstain returned from Cuba, every paper and magazine in the country delighted to print pictures of the grimming face that showed a set of good, strong molars parted with jollity. This smiling Roosevelt face undoubtedly contributed much to the popularity of the president, and so it ought to help the case of Taft. Taft never had the power to master subjects without working. He has lit the of that superficial brilliance that brings many public men to the fore in a day, only to drop them back just as suddenly. He is intellectually a strong man, but his greatest gift is his power, of sustained work. In Cuba he delved into every phase of the situation and investigated every part of the island, met all of the men who are factors, big and little, in the present conition, traced every cause of quarrel, and addressed himself thoroughly to the task of correcting evils, of the mishandled propitious and employing his all moderation, his sanity and his energy toward the restoration of order. Harvard has the honor of giving the country the present chief magistrate. If his successor is a Yale man, it will be in great part because Taft has known how to deal with the Cuban situation. In dealing with the lighter affairs of life, Taft has been as equally successful as in shaping the destinies of his large party. His famous trip to the Philippines something over a year ago will not soon be forgotten by any member of his large party. The secretary was the life and fun of the crowd, full of jokes and merriment from morn until night. The close friendship and good fellowship Mr. Taft cemented among the members of his group on this journey is more than indicated by the number of weddings, that of the president's daughter being on the lead, which rests from the jacket. Indeed he became so numerous the secretary, because of his apparent friendliness with love's little messenger, gained the nickname of "Cupid Taft," which, not altogether to his liking, has since stuck to him.

Celebrated Statue Fell.

T ON LAST VISIT friends in the Philippines. Jefferson Walburn, a young farmer, called at a Muncie physician's office and complained of a pain in his side. Two ribs were found to have been fractured. Walburn was unable to account for the injury except by a a severe coughing spell, and the physician said that probably was the cause of the accident. A few days before a young woman called at the same doctor's office with two broken ribs caused by a fit of prolonged laughter. HIS RADICAL VIEWS HIS RADICAL VIEWS BRIEF LECTURE BY M'DONALD THE ICONOCLAST. His ideas on the Subject of the Dom estic Differences of the O'Hooli- ians Are Interesting if Not Instructive. McDonald was known among his friends as an iconoclast. His greatest delight was to smash images. One of his particular cronies was Perkins. When Perkins wanted a little en- tainment in the evening he had a way getting a few congenial spirits around a table in a cate and after a few round of drinks he percolated through their systems he would bring up some abtrous subject and hear Mc Donald's radical views. He always felt sure that McDonald would take the opposite side from the generally accepted view of any subject. It was at one of the usual evening gatherers when the circle of inti- mates were seated in their usual cozy corner. When Perkins noticed Mc Donald finish his fourth rickey he laid down an afternoon paper he had been glancing over and remarked: "I see a fellow named O'Hoolian has been fine for beating his wife. I think any man who would beat his wife ought to be tied up to a lamp- set and given about 68 lashes on his bare back." McDonald assumed an aggressive attitude at once and hastily swallowed something in his throat. "You do, do you," he said; "well, now, let me tell you something. I don't know this man O'Hoolihan, but I've a ten-spot here in my pocket that says Mrs. O'Hoolihan got what was coming to her. The chances are that O'Hoolihan had been swinging a pick. Hooly Simply Arose in His Might. all week for $1.50 a day, and when he lined up at the contractor's shanty window Saturday night and pulled down his envelope with $9 in it he was not saying anything about it being a shame to take the money. O'Hoolihan felt as if it came pretty near being his $9 that he was pulling down. "And about what happened is that O'Hooligan stopped in at Jerry's and had one or two with the boys working on his trick and fed a nickle or so into the slot of the automatic banjo and heard it say plink-plink, plink-plink, plink-plink-plink, in a way that reminded him of his boyhood days and he was happy. When he got home, where he ought to expect peace and he met a towelled woman and received at him. He had spent $2.60 of his own money, but he did not feel like a cavern. He was in a mental condition where if he had been treated -right -he would have acted the model husband and turned over the balance of his week's pay to Mrs. O'Hoolay, and meekly asked for carfare on Monday, but at the same time he was not going to oldesten trouble if it came his way, and so when Mrs. O'Hoolay made a holy nulsance of herself, Hooly simply arose in his might and smote her lip and thigh. He also bent her face in and mopped the floor with her. Then he broke up the furniture, and I want to go on record right here as saying that O'Hooligan did just what the American citizen should have done, and then O'Hoolayan was looking for trouble she got a good illustration of the Biblical adage: "He that seeketh findeth." When McDonald walked over to the cigar case to get a light for his pipe, Perkins remarked in an undertone to his companions: "Mac's got some funny notions." The bicycle is now a favorite means of transportation in South Africa, to which place hundreds of discarded wheels are shipped by jobboys who buy them up in America and England. The natives take kindly to them and these Zulus in their simple costume are full of pride in their possession. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

NOVEMBER 10. 1906. THE THOMPSON SCHEME The Washington Post has the sasacity to see very clearly what the South needs, and the boldness to state need very frankly. It pronounces the scheme to deport the Art-Americans to the 15thmus of Panama "too silly for serious consideration," cruel, malignant and despotic. It remarks: "There is no conceivable excuse for applying to the black drone and parasite any treatment which ignores his white equal and imitator. The latter is as objectifiable as the former—he is more so, in fact, because his influence is worse and his excuse less." Of the South, it says: "It is a town in swarms with misbehaving and ill-treatment. One sees them everywhere. On one side injurious effect in all directions. There is no reason why society should be re-required to support them. Society has a right to protect itself against persistent and incorrigible even. If these drones did nothing worse than set an evil and a dangerous example, they would still be legitimate subjects for the law's reproducible discipline." All this is true, but the effect of the vote of this ignorant and mischievous rabble is not noticed. It is that vote which downs such men as Hampton and Carmack and substitutes such rabble and slushlingsers as Tillman and Varsity Jeff davis in their stead. It is the crib of lawless hoodlums which THE PRESIDENT Whose Re-election is Absolutely Assured by the Election of Republican Legislature in Illinois. M. B. F. L. BARNETT, First Afro-American Elected to a Municipal Judgeship in Chicago produces the race riots in the South and which reminds the Southern officer: "We voted for you." The Post recommends, the enactment and enforcement of a strict and stern vagrant law, and, if impartially enforced, such a law would be cf great benefit. But would officers elected by the mob qualify in enforcing any such law? South America says: "That law was made for niggers." And they act accordingly. Aye, there the rub. A communication from the Mayor to the City Council of Atlanta contains some sentences which call for a careful examination; and we therefore quote them, as follows: "While there had been several beastly crimes attempted by black brutes upon white women during the past few weeks, yet I do not believe that violence would have been resorted to if it had not been for the inflammatory, sensational apologe extras that were continually in the media, reports they contained in some instances, were, upon investigation, found to be utterly void of any foundation. According to all the information that I have the victims of Saturday night's outbreak were industrious, law-abiding Negroes who had no reason to expect such treatment." It will be noticed that the mayor explicitly states that the beastly crimes were merely ATTEMPTED, not perpetrated, and does not assert that the beastly crimes were attempts at rape. In fact, there is no evidence of rape or even an attempt at rape; and the probability is that the whole story of outrage is an unscrupulous lie coined by the Atlanta Slush-Slinger, edited by the notorious John Temple Graves. THE GREAT PROBLEM. At a recent meeting of the American Missionary Association, held in Oberlin, Ohio, Dr. Gladden said in part: "The legacy left us by emancipation is the care of the Afro-American race in the United States. It is a national problem. The burden of this obligation rests on the whole nation, as many of the wisest southern men insist. "The problem as it confronts us involves the principles on which our in the words of Carl Schurz: "There will be a movement either in the direction of reducing the Afro-American to the condition of serfdom—the condition of the more plantation hand alongside the mule, practically without any rights of citizenship; or a movement in the direction of recognizing him as a citizen in the full sense of the term." Mr. Schurz predicted the condition of things which actually exists at present, the object of which is to reduce the Afro-American to a permanent condition of serfdom—a mere plantation hand. This involves the principles upon which our government is founded and also* decides whether government of the people, for the people and by the people shall perish from the earth. As Dr. Gladden remarked: To keep four millions in slavery, who were born and reared in that condition, was one thing; to reduce nine millions to serfdom, after they have been fifty years free, is quite another thing." To attempt to reduce ten millions of freemen to serfdom would be a hazardous experiment, but the Southern leaders are foolhardy enough to attempt it. Their most salient characteristic is an idiotic propensity to tread upon the dangerous edge of things. of the doctrine that the Constitution of the United States affords ample authority to compel observation by a state of the provisions of an international treaty. This seems to be in strict accordance with common sense. The United States certainly occupies an extremely ridiculous position if she cannot carry out any treaty she may make. Yet in the trouble with Italy caused by the lining of certain Italianians in New Orleans, it was virtually conceded that our government was actually unable to carry out the provisions of the treaty with that country. It was a most humiliating objection to make, and Mr. Blaine, the secretary of agriculture, was compelled to get down upon his knees to Louisiana and beg that haughty wealth to render some satisfaction to the offended nation. The Constitution expressly states that all treaties made by the authority of the United States are the supreme law of the land, but Mr. Root seems to be the first official to discover that fact. The Afro-Americans of the South have been scavagely scored, scores of times, because they were careless about voting when they could do so. But, after all, they seem to be not much worse than other folks; for a New York journal says: "Look now on this picture. The registration in Greater New York shows that fifty thousand men failed to qualify for next month's contest. In districts where property and education allow the electorate the delinquents are more humilious than in those where the "boys" abound." Hoodlum government has almost become the rule in this country. Men are too busy making money to carc a d——n which side is up. As to the desirability of a residence in San Francisco, official reports afford the following information: The crimes are reported at all hours of the day. The crimes have been committed. Burglars lay their trade without serious hindrance. Hiswaymen hold up their victims in the busy streets in broad daylight." In view of the foregoing the fear of moral contamination, which has segregated the Japanese children in separate schools, seems a little far fetched. We can not see where even Atlanta would gain by swapping her Afro-Americans off to San Francisco for an equal number of Anglo-Saxons. Vardaman says "The race question must be settled, and that very soon." We must admit that Vard is a shrewd observer. There is nothing in the way of settling the question but the Afro-Americans, and the Cubans and the Filipinos, and the Japanese and the Hindoos, and the Russians and the Jews, and the Utes and the Mexicans and the South Americans, and the Africans, et al. All that is required is a simple twist of the wrist; as Vardy has demonstrated. The Evening Star, referring to the Japanese problem, remarks: "The people of San Francisco are guilty of a race prejudice which calls for emphatic rebuke and prompt disavowal." Of course it does; race prejudice is a shameful thing when it threatens to result in a loss of a whole lot of trade. San Francisco should exercise the proper discrimination when she discriminates. We learn that the Hindoos are becoming disaffected and are sounding the slogan, "Ask the Asiatics. And, somehow or other, THE A.P.

"THE BROADWAY GAIETY GIRLS." The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. The rivalry among the burlesque managers this season has resulted in the formation of some of the most worthy organizations devoted to this light, and breezy form of entertainment. One of the most pretentious of these is "The Broadway Gaiety Girl" Company which will appear at Star Theatre during the week of Nov. 11th. It is said of this aggregation that money has been lavishly spent in an endeavor to provide something wholly superior to the average so-called burlesque offerings with the result that a company of thirty pretty, young and vivacious, girls, picked for their qualifications as singers and actresses as well as for their attractiveness and a coterie of conciens known throughout the country as mirth provokers has been gathered under the management of the "Broadway Gaiety Girls". It is promised that the program will be one solid novelty from the rise of the contain on the opening burlesque until the closing of the burlesque entitled "The Land of Promise" which is said to contain more catchy musical numbers than the average comic opera. Between these will be the show "Wildlife," he headed by Mario & Aldo Beatt, Brown & Bartclette eccentric comedy, Simon & Brayer, Hebrew and trann, John Weber & Co, in Nellie on the Avenue, Wilson & Haines, singers and dancers.

Spoiling a Good Physician to Make a Poor Musician. Frances, a girl of thirteen, was destined by her mother to be a fine musician. While still a child she was taught to read the notes and her tiny fingers were placed on the keyboard. Year in and year out the child was obliged to practice, and she acquired a measured amount of skill, but her playing was wooden and spiritless. In despair, her mother said to her. "What do you expect to be when you are grown up?" The girl sighed. "When I am grown up, mother, if I had a house of my own, the first thing I shall do will be to order the piano chopped up for kindling wood. I want to be a doctor." As time passed musical studies were dropped, and duly Frances weht to the medical college. At last she was allowed liberty to grow in her own proper direction. She is a successful physician, treating nervous disorders with rare sympathy and understanding. BOOK OF Han-Holidays. Bishop Warren of Denver was praising, in Philadelphia, the Saturday half-holiday. Suddenly he laughed. "I remember," he said, "one very hot day in New York, visiting the offices of a friend of mine, a wholesale coffee merchant. "I was weak and listless with the heat. Every one on the street was pale and drooping and dispirited. People felt generally that, instead of trying to work, they should be taking a nap in the draft of an electric fan. "But in my friend's office all was bustle, hustle and enthusiasm. On fire with zeal, the clerks ran hither and yon, or beat over ledgers with the absorption a young lady gives to a good novel. "I clapped my friend on the shoulder. "Jack,' said I, 'it must be pleasant and profitable to have an office corps so full of energy and enthusiasm as this.' "Well," said Jack, awkwardly, "it's not that, exactly. To-day, you see, is a half-holiday, and they are getting ready to go home." "That excuse is a very cynical and hopeless one," said Senator La Follette. "It doesn't speak at all well for the future." He was discussing a certain corporation's apology for dodging a law ation's apology for dodging a law. "A cynical excuse," he went on, "and one that recalls to my mind a young and wetty nurse who surprised all her friends by marrying a rich man of 73 years. "Why on earth did you marry that fossil?" a friend asked the nurse. "Well,' she replied, 'I thought I might as well be engaged in nursing one old man as a dozen.'" His Fault, Though. "It is a very fine thing to be brave and generous and noble," said Bliss Perry, the noted writer, editor and teacher of Harvard, "but sometimes we are generous and noble against our will. Then, of course, we deserve no credit. "Of this type was a young married man whose father-in-law, a reputed millionaire, burst in on him one day and groomed: "All is lost! I am utterly ruined!" "Ahem," said the son-in-law; 'then I married for love, after all.'" The plumber had become rich and was going abroad for his health. On the voyage a school of whales was sighted, and the plumber was seen to rub his hands in ecstasies. "Why ous pass "He captain a burst him at "We last nl postage "How "Got ment h as much "Why is he so happy?" asked a curious passenger. "He can't help it," whispered the captain. "He imagines each spout is a burst water pipe, to be repaired by him at his old rates." Awful! "We hadn't any chips at the club last night, so we played poker with postage stamps." "How did the game go?" "Got all mixed up. The fool government has made the reds worth twice as much as the blues." In the divine scales a dime often tens—the other fellow.

He narrated to a number of friends the manner in which he learned that there were two cables instead of one, as he supposed, in Manila bay. "I had found and cut one cable," said the admiral, and thought that ended the whole business, as far as communication went, when a captain of a small boat, to whom I had given permission to carry out some refuges from Manila, came on board to thank me for the privilege accorded him. He had made several hundred dollars out of the deal, I learned incidentally. While on board he casually remarked: "Tengo entendido que usted ha cortado un cable telegrafo, Almirante?" (I understand you have cut a cable, admiral?) "I informed him that I had, and when he...innocently asked, 'Which one?' I began to get busy, and it was not half an hour until I had the other wire located and cut." — Harper's Weekly. Also He Took the Hint and Ended His Visit. There is a girl living up on Washington street who is a great believer in hints when they are necessary. The other night a young man called. He came about 8 o'clock and at 11:30 was still there. The girl had been thinking for an hour that it was time for him to go, but he didn't seem to be a mind reader. Finally she had a chance to use a hint and took advantage of it. The young man was talking about how to win the admiration of women. "I'll tell you, Miss Blank," he said, "one way to make a girl like you is to see her only once in a while—about once a month. In other words, leave her alone. That'll win her." The girl suppressed a yawn. "Leave her alone?" she replied. "I wish you had an ambition to make me like you." The youth saw the point. Fifteen minutes later the girl was in her downy couch in dreams—Chicago Tribune. Manv Such. Old Mrs. B., a lady notorious for her saving habits, one morning entered the doctor's surgery, leading a healthy boy of nine years. "Well, Mrs. B," said the doctor, "who's our patient?" "My new from town," Mrs. B. replied. "Not much wrong with him, I should say," laughed the doctor, pinching his red cheeks. "It's about 'is appetite, doctor,' said the boy's aunt, in a low voice. "Surely he doesn't need an appetizer?" "Good gracious, no, doctor," replied Mrs. B., in horrified accents. "I want you to give me sum-mat to make 'is appetite less. 'Ell eat me out of 'ouse an' 'ome afore is month's 'olday is up if 'is appetite ain't cut down!"—Sacred Heart Review. Mrs. Chadwick's Painted Flowers. Count Otto Henry, one of the best known criminals in the world, who is now serving a five-year sentence in the penitentiary for pocket-picking, is employed 'selling souvenirs at the counter in front of bankers' row in the west hall. He particularly takes care of goods manufactured by Cassie Chadwick. "This is a spoon made. by convicts in here and the flowers you see painted in the middle was done by Mrs. Chadwick. The wire handle is made from the wire of the electric chair," explains the old count as he shows you the article.-Columbus Dispatch. Poorest Member of Commons. The poorest member of the house of commons is said to be John Ward, a member from Stoke-on-Trent, who has a wife and four children to support on an income of $12.50 per week, his salary as secretary of the Navvies' (Laborers') union. Looking Forward. Scientist—I know I haven't long to live, live, and when I die I want you to perform an autopsy. I'm very anxious to know just what's the matter with me. Gawker—Smart!
