ANNOUNCEMENT I am a candidate for Sheriff of Shawnee county on the Independent ticket for the fall election. I have lived in this county for many years and have a wide acquaintance.

Bossism is being resurrected. There will be a good many surprises off and on before the next governor makes his seat in January next. Mr. Bailey is a great and good man but the hand that did it is chilly and cold to a "dark skin." The honorable Chester I. Long will again be opposed for a re-election in the big district, but Long will not listen to preachers and calamity howlers he'll saw wood as usual. We don't want to be misunderstood on the Bates article. We know of no other business his kind who refuses to admit the colored boys on account of color except some "club." There are some gentlemanly jointist here in business, but we long the Frank Bates strife. I all have to go if he does handle Schlitz beer. The good people along the Arkansers at this this time are holding revivals to keep back the approaching food which is claimed to be ten feet deep of water headed this way. Kansas people are never satisfied. Last year his time they were praying for rain, and now they are praying for it to stop. There are persons who claim and pretend to operate hotels and places to accommodate the public, and their rooms board and other accommodations are of the cheapest and lowest that could be given yet they keep out a plain board and shingle to fool the people and say to their victims "comn" and they are too infernal lazy to aid their beds of the lice and bed bugs. We are getting tired of this class. When a colored man in any honorable business gets the best of so meien to the extent of a dollar they go round bellowing to every one they must that you beat them out of a dollar but they never tell how often the patent medicine man" or the show taker" or the "soap man" beat them of course they keep this as you m a y ce they are shame to t e l l on these skunks' who really robs them. Funny world. When the editor and associate arrived at Wichita the morning of the 28 the first man we saw was the Hon. Nick Chiles with a bunch of papers less than 50 pounds, like the little girl; "who will buy my flowers." There were so many people in Wichita especially at the Carey Hotel till they looked like one seething mass of humanity. When time and tide rolls on together you can safely get on Craddock or Bailey tor one of them will be governor next January, '03. Kansas City Kansas can feel proud of her efficient police service and itsifiable chief, Mr. Zimmer who has shown to the twin cities that that they up to date in every respect. Mr. James Walsh, the present chief of detectives is doing efficient service with his forces. --- The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. Coor songs and rag time have been prohibited at places of entertainment in New York. An enlightened sentiment has yawned them out over the nation. A Chicago judge holds that $15 a week isn't enough for a man who has a wife and two children to support. But the judges of Chicago think a number of things. There is a kick because Frederick the Great in the American statue will be represented as a young man. Frederick as a young man was not great. When he arrived at the pearly gates he had an explanation to make on the Von Katte incident and it is doubtful if he is admitted, Ex. The late Father Lane, long popular as the pastor of the Roman Catholic church of Saint Theresa and several pet anecdotes, among which was one of an encounter between a pretentious yellow who liked to pose as an inndel, and a very religious old lady who it her explanations of sacred phenomena were not always lucid was firm in her faith. The encounter came about over the question of Jonah, and the whale, and the self-styled infidel insisted that the story was absurd, pointing to formation of the whale's throat as his reason. "Well, it's in the Bible," she said when he had finished. "I cannot explain it fully; but—" and here she smiled contentedly, "I'll ask Jonah about it when I get to heaven." "Suppose you don't find him there?" asked her tormentor, anxious to continue the argument. "Well, then, you may ask him!" was her rejoinder. Ex. A dinner at House of Commons was a part the experience of William H. Crane last summer. Mr. Crane dined there with an Irish member, and an appetizer was suggested as a necessary preliminary to the feast. Mr. Crane was agreeable, following strictly the generally wise policy to do in Rome as the Romans do, "David Harum" ordered the same as his Irish friend which turned out to be Irish whiskey. It came—a neat half pint served the size of the drink with some inward trepidation. The others in matter of fact mannel-tipped the liquor into high standing glasses, which they then filled up with foaming soda water. Then they quiffed off the decoction with gusto, and Mr. Crane did the same with a silent prayer for the future. Conversation followed which dragged with a delay in serving dinner, until a thought struck a member and he suggested another drink, which met with the unanimous approval (bar one) of the party. The order was given without reference to the guest and soon another half pint of strong Irish whiskey re-tested on the table in front of the American actor. He eyed it a moment, and then his pent up feelings burst forth. "Say," he queried, turning heatedly to his neighbor, "when you chaps take a drink, do you always take one of that size?" "We do, was the chorused reply. Well, all I've got to remark, then returned from the wanderer from the United States, is that I am not surprised that the Boer war continues. Ex. There were some men like the H u n. Tom Kelly, J. J. Hanna, Dayhoff, Bailey and others who tailed to get there breakfast after their nomination from the mere fact the horse of politicians were too thick, hence and old sandwich was highly accepted suffice to say they went "to it".

TONGANOXIE KANSAS Parties desiring homes farms and city property will do well to see or address the National Real Estate Association. Tonganoxie Kansas. Considerable complaint has been coming to our sanctum concerning our "affable jointist" Frank Bates who no doubt knows all about the colored boys. Not long ago a Santa Fe co instructor met one of his old coed stand-by ex-porters in this city and after ex-changing a few kind words they strolled over to the above joint at 414 Kas avenue, in the front room is a barber shop but in the rear is what is known among bums as a "cheap John" concern. However Bates handles Schlitz beer. This kind conductor and a first class colored member of nearly all of the lodges in the state asked for a glass of beer at this romantic place. "I can sell you a drink, but not your friend" said Bates. The conductor walked out with his colored friend cursing and raising "cold weather." Of course Mr. Bates has no authority for his unkind act, he has not even a technicality. Mr. Bates has a right so discriminate as to character but not on no first class colored gentlemen our government does not l look at a man's color, they look at his fitness, character and merit and what a man stands for. Of course Mr. Bates don't give a dam who does the voting. He is selling whiskey under Parker now in open violation of the law and some of the dam fool Negroes were foolish enough to vote and holler Parker till their throats were sore and now as Sam Jones says "sow whiskey and reap yingos drunkards." Hones Mr. Bates in keeping with his policy has become a manace and an eyesore to every respectable colored voter of Mayor Parker and when the time comes not even Parker will want it but no other Democrat or conservatins will ever be elected in this city again for none of the colored people will vote for a man who winks at a "shyster" like Frank Bates and tells him to go ahead, "dam the niggers." This is not a personal matter it is not like asking for a meal in the best hotel in the city it is the business carried on in an illegitimate way and such rascals as the Frank Bates stripe have become so bold as to refuse or to serve all men in that particular so long as they are respectable to the rules of a joint. Recently a government official was refused there for no other reason than his "color." Mr. Bates may understand what the 14 and 15 amendments say about these things and "ere" long he may be called to explain in fact he should be persecuted. W. R. GRIFFITH for county treas Lyon County The name of W. R. Griffith of Lyon county is not a new one hence he needs no introduction. He has lived in Kansas over 40 years, in fact he came up with his many friends at Emporia, he stands well and is a prominent man. He seems to have the lead for office of county treaurer and as he is so well known to all classes and having proven a true friend to all, he does not doubt his nomination for that office. The convention will be on June 28th and he will make a good fight to succeed Mr. Johnson, the present incumbent of the treasurer's office. Mr. Griffiths friendship is very wide indeed if he has an enemy it is wholly unknown, hence he cannot expect anything but success when the time comes. NEW TRIAL GRANTED The case of State against George Buckner charge with highman robber, y has changed in some respects favoring the defendant with a new trail which virtually torinimates the case against him as the circumstances in the case were not sufficient to convig him before a court of equity and justic his attorney was Joseph Reed A man at Eureka the other day told his wife good by five times and every time he would say good by he would start away from her and then come back again and then go agate each time he would press her to his big rustic lips. He furnished amusement for the crowd. WICHITA NOTES There was a great convention held here last week by the republicans of Kansas to nominate all the state of officers for the next two, four and six years The head of the state ticket was named for Governor, Hon. W. J. Bailly of Nemaha county. Mr. Bailys popularity began from the time he was nominated at Hutchinson four years ago for Congressman at Large. When at the height of his zenith he became an aspirant for congress to succeed Hon. Charles Curtis, and on that momentous occasion was defeated at Horton, and hence his boom for a time was silenced. Later on being backed by Cyrus Leland, the ex-political boss of Kansas and a stirring campaign was on. When at Wichita last week the above result followed and hence Mr. Bailley goes into one or the most important offices in the state for at least four years. All in all the entire state ticket is a strong one and will reflect much credit on the State of Kansas and restore and inspire confidence to the anxious public who so keenly feel the need of a fair and impartial administration, There were many surprises at the convention just closed and never in the history of this great state will there be as harmonious a convention as was held in the state for many years, and also many to come. EMFORIA NOTES There is a red hot county campaign on here. There are at least three dozen candidates in the field for the few places that are to be let, hence you can imagine that the worst is yet to come. We find it looking over the list that our capable under-sheriff, Mr Dennis O'connor is being strongly supported for sheriff to succeed his brother Sheriff O'connor. No doubt these young men and rumors says they will of course stand by Dennis who has more than one place as the next chieftain of the highest office in Lyon county. Another aspect presents itself in the person of Mr. J. E Evans a prominent lumberman at this place. Not withstanding the "State Ledger's" large circulation he stoutly refused to be courteous and sailed he did not care whether he was nominated or not Mr. Evans should remember that a few men in Lyon county can have office when they want it, but when we find a man who don't want it. It is not very likely that the people will confer such a favor on an irritable candidate who is like a crab apple who can not stand the appearance of a dark skin. The people would be very unwise to stand by Evans for county treasurer. Another turn of affairs is about to take place in the county superintendents office and that is one Carver who is out for count. Sup't with a few years experience is teacher of the county. He is going before the convention as a republican and thinks that is all he needs to say to be nominated county sup't, while on the other hand he will be opposed by Miss Mary McCray, the present incumbent for that office. Miss McCray has only had one term and like other office holders she wants a second term; she however is a Demo-pop and has many friends. She defeated a strong man two years ago Prot. Lyon, by a close call of eleven votes and the commissioners of Lyon County gave her the office as a result of their findings. Carver will have to put on a little more deceit before he will be able to defeat a pretty lit the lady like Miss McCray. Judge C. L. Bachellor wants to be Probate Judge, he is an old resident of Emporia. He came here in early days: He has been hold-many responsible positions positions, he is at present the police judge and has made a good one, He has a wide circle of friends and he no doubt will land the place from the way things are shaping up. [judge Bachellor needs the place and the people are with him. Mrs Dr. Taylor of this city has from visiting friends in Missouri, Doc Brown the once famous drawing card is still walking for cakes and we have never heard of poor "old doc" winning any thing as yet. Some people thinks its nice to tell big stories about what salary they are their friends received. Dr C. H. C. Jordan, the founder of the south american remedies is doing a fine business at his office 610 Minnesota ave Kans. city Kans. Dr. Jordan is a scholary gentleman and is coming to the front he has of one the finest offices and labatories in the state. The STATE-LEDGER wishes him great success for we know he is sure to succeed. Wichita has two colored physicians in the person of Drs Harrison and Farmer Dr Farmer the new physician formerly of Kans city is starting "off" nicely and is getting a fine practice while his appearance is somewhat against yet he is convincing the people at Wichita that he knows his profession to the letter and is sure to be classed with the leading professional men of his race. The corner stone laying by the Oddfellows was quite ably assisted by Jackson's juvenile 23rd Regiment band which rendered fine selections for the occasion with credit to this fraternity it was a very creditable affair while they did not receive the proper treatment at the hands of loafers and the Topeka Railway line a to right of way however they did well Price C. Thomas a well know ex Wyandate politician but now of Shawnee who went to Wichita in the interest of the "PLAINDEALER" did not tarry long, rumor says the crowd, "too' dense for a populist to get in his smooth work at selling newspapers hence he soon threw up the sponge and "skedadled" it takes a newspaper man Mr. Thomas to do business at conventions. DR. G. E. HORSEY OF KAS CITY KANSAS COMING TO THE FRONT. The writer occasionally takes great pleasure in speaking of our coming young men especially as barristers and professional men in the medical field we have before our many readers the name of Dr. Geo. Horsey a young man who recently graduated from Maharry Medical College at Nashville Tenn. coming to Kans. City a stranger he began the practice of medicine and today he has an innumerable number of calls and "callers" such young men as this prigh physician will make their mark in this world. Dr. Horsey is yet young and suffice to say he if continues is sure to succeed. Dr. Horsey has a fine office at 500 Minnesota ave Kan. City where it is to be seen second to none in point of appearance Kan. City should feel proud of Dr. Horey by reason of fine practice built in that city in such a short time Dr. Horsey also fears the honored distinction of many one of school mates immediately after graduating and coming to Kans. City they have settled down to make the best of life he is a young man who always wears a smile and is highly admired by all who know him.

General Maximo Gomez has published an open letter at Havana, in which he refuses to accept the annual pension of $6,000 provided for nim in a resolution which is now before the Cuban house of representatives. General Gomez asks his friends to defeat this resolution, saying it would be unfair to him to accept money so long as the other Cuban soldiers have not been provided for.

Blooded stock item from the Highland Vidette: "What is the pedigree of your calf?" asked a would-be buyer of a farmer. "Well," said the farmer, "all I know about it is that his father gored a book agent to death, tossed a justice of the peace on top of the barn and stood a lightning rod man in his head in a fence corner. His mother chased a female lecturer two miles one day. If that ain't pedigree enough to ask $4 on you needn't take him." While trying to ford Brush creek, seven miles south of Pittsburg, a buggy containing Welsh Welsh, son of "Jack" weiss, and Miss Anna Jenkins, both of Pittsburg, was upset by the high water and Welsh and the horse were drowned.

"Don't die!" she wailed, when he was brought home to her after a collision with a trolley car. "I'll try not to," he answered. "I knew you would," she said. "You are always so good and thoughtful, and you have such a head for business. You can afford to die. Why, if you should, the company would get off with the payment of a paltry $5,000, while if you live a cripple we may get as high as $50,000. Oh, it would be worse than folly to die under the circumstances." —Chicago Post. Mrs. Parke—What kind of servants do you prefer—white or black, Irish or German? Mrs. Lane—I've gotten beyond that.

I present to the readers of this paper a few testimonial letters and names of former patients whom I have cured of rupture, believing that the afflicted would rather correspond with some one who has been cured than read what I might say about myself. You can more fully investigate and convince yourself as to the merits of my treatment. You might doubt any statements I might make, but you cannot help but believe the statements of those I have cured. I will ask you to write to any or all of them. If you are satisfied with what they say about my reliability and methods of treatment, write to me or call and see me. Remember that in all cases I guarantee a cure and do not accept one cent of money until you are well. Consultation by mail or in person is entirely free. I will be pleased to correspond with you regarding your McPherson, Kans, June 8, 1989. I had a very hard case of rupture for years, sufferings that lasted for three weeks and was cured in three weeks. I cannot say too much for him. I know he can do just what he says he can do. The Doctor does it. I ask one question. The doctor can give the best guarantee he can possibly give to any person afflicted as I was. I will answer anyone who wishes to know more about my case. OLSON. My Dear Doctor: I desire add my testimonial to those you have cared of rupture. My case was a bad one and you made a permanent cure in a short time. I had pain and I never had a fever.

A certain member of the legal profession, whose name is omitted for reasons which will appear obvious, was asked some years ago by a young negro to defend him on the charge of murder. "How much money have you got?" asked the lawyer. "None, sah." "Any friend or relative who'll raise some for you?" "Humph!" muttered the attorney, "Say, you don't want a lawyer. You want a minister." — Philadelphia Times. "Have you invested any money?" "Yes, indeed. I bought the loveliest railroad!

Fensham, of Commanche, Purdue received that title at the recent annual convocation of the Chicago Theological Seminary in the First Congregational church in Chicago. A bright young woman was very deeply interested in her Sunday school class, and endeavored to make the little ones understand different verses in the Bible more clearly by letting them finish each sentence. The Democrats of the six New England states are preparing for an organization of the "Yankee states" for Democratic work. It is in the hands of the young men of the party and promises well.

Those Cincinnatians who have been much in the country of late have probably noticed the number of insects of a kind not often seen clinging to the larger trees and covering the ground beneath. These insects are none other than the famous 17-year locusts. Their entrance upon the scene has just begun. In some places the ground is already alive with them. There will be many more, however, before the summer is past. There is a popular fiction that these 17-year locusts are an all-destroying pest. Such, however, is not the case. Very young trees and shoots of older ones are sometimes injured by the locusts. Mature trees and shrubbery, however, are seldom at all affected by the attacks of these insects. They cover the ground and fasten their curious forms to oaks and other big trees in great numbers, but upon the future of these trees they have little influence. In the old days the red-skinned inhibitors of the American contingent did not look upon the arrival of the locusts in the light of a necessary evil as it is looked upon today. On the contrary they hailed the appearance of the first of the breed above ground with great celight and fell to eating his followers with much relish. The American of today will scarcely follow in the footsteps of his red-skinned predecessor in this respect. On realizing that the locust is in reality not a serious menace to agriculture, however he may be able to regard the coming of the 17-year swarms with less aversion than formerly. But whether he likes them or not, they will come. The regularly timed appearance of the insects is a most curious natural phenomenon. Eighteen hundred and eighty-five was the date of their last appearance. Now they have arrived again promptly on schedule time. And incidentally sparrow and other enterprising denizens of the air are glad. Less particular than their human contemporaries of the land, these little pirates of the air will readily adapt the time-honored example of that other wild dweller in the land, the American Indian, and devour the locust with great eagerness and dispatch. The last time the locust made his appearance above ground the English sparrow was less in evidence in the United States than he is today. Others of us have noticed the increase of the breed with alarm and disgust. Possibly the locust also will learn the real significance of the great truth concerning the English sparrow before he has been many days in the land—and that to his evident distress—Cincinnati Times-Star. In Brazil the newspapers of Rio Janeiro report that the police have made a prisoner of the famous adventurer, Luis Galvez, who invaded the territory of Acero some three years ago and established there an ephemeral republic, of which he proclaimed himself the president. Galvez was promptly ousted by other adventurers, who finally were themselves driven away by the troops of Bolivia. It appears that Galvez had established in the zoological garden of Rio Janeiro a game of "elota," and that, not satisfied with the gains procured him by that perfectly lawful game, he was exploiting a game of "biclo," which is forbidden by the law. "Maria," said the colored citizen "I feel lak my time hes come at las; I is mighty low." "Ain't you been eatin' de kunnel's watermillions?" "Oh, yes." "Well, didn't you know he dore plzened de las' one er dem?" "Did he cupm um?" "How?" "Dat settles me. But, Maria—" "What do you want?" "I wuz all day at um, en I eat nine befo' I quit." Atlanta Constitution. A Long Forgotten Monarch A cable item that starts a long train of historical memories is the announcement that Don Francisco de Assis, ex-King of Spain, died at Epinay, France, on Thursday. This long-forgotten monarch was 80 years of age. Thirty-four years have nearly passed since he was expelled from Spain, with the late Queen Isabella II, who was both his wife and his cousin. It was to Queen Isabella and her ministers that the United States made an offer in the fitties to buy Cuba for "spot cash," not exceeding $100,000,000, an offer which they haughtily but, as later events showed, foolishly rejected. It was Isabella's formal abduction, in 1870, that started the intigue to put a prince of the house of Hohenclerm on the Spanish throne which led to the great war between France and Germany. Finally Isabella's son, Alfonso XII, became king, and his son, the present boy king, is to be crowned on May 17 next, just a month after the passing of his grandfather, whose very existence was unknown to mankind until the cable brought word he was dead.—New York World. Distinguished potentates of the Old World who have expressed a desire to visit the world's fair at St. Louis are Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia, the Khedive of Egypt, and King Oscar of Sweden. Jerome C. Knowlton, professor of law in the University of Michigan, tells a story of the time when United States Senator Quarles, of Wisconsin, was a student. One morning Quarles went to his class in chemistry without having studied his lesson. The chemistry professor asked the students to recite in the order in which they were seated, and Quarles hid behind a youth of massive frame. But the professor knew he was there, and when it came to his turn the old gentleman called out in a shrill tone: "Quarles, your ears are too long to hide there." When Gavarni, the French artist who has just been commemorated in Paris, was in London, over fifty years ago, he chose to live in St. Giles', frequented all the low dens of the city, took part in prize fights, rubbed shoulders with thieves and pickpockets, sent sketches which have earned a worldwide reputation to L'Illustration, and when he returned to Paris to continue his marvelous series of cartoons, he wrote that no one could have any idea of what constituted wealth and poverty, luxury and misery, who had not visited London.

Above drawings of some of the curious finds already unearthed. Most remarkable in its beauty is a piece of old lace in the collection owner Mrs A. L. Vroman of Minneapolis. This piece was excavated from the site of the ancient city of Pezzoni, good Pompeii. This city was built on the original site of the city of Pompeii, mentioned the Bible. It was partly buried during a colocaic eruption in the 12th century and was totally buried by another eruption 400 years later.

Duhique county pays out more money annually for the burea for the des of foxes, wolves and other proprydestroying animals than 15 west county. It will be a matter of prince to understand that the county treasurer paid 200,000 in bounties. Dubuque county forests are still all of wolves and nearly every weed insects appear in the court house with hides to secure prize money, yesterday Philip Richmond, a young living in Concord township, bought the hide of a large female羊 to County Auditor Welmer and cured a certificate for $5.00. Richmond stated that he killed the wolf, which is of a foxy breed, and the battle. When the dead he found six cubs he removed them to a barn with the portion of taking them to Dubuque and receiving $2.00 a piece for them, the next morning, however, he found them dead. Some other animal had taken the barn and ate the heads of the young wolves. Dubuque county pays $5.00 bounty for full grown wolves and $2.00 for the dead wild cats and foxes are so prized by the county and who brings in these animals the county auditor he will receive warranty for $1.00 for the former $5.00 on the latter. Some persons will laugh when it is suggested that wild cats are still roaming through Dubuque county.

Napoleon's Great Fortune Napoleon Bonaparte's will, among those of great men, affords the nearest parallel to that of Cecil Rhodes in the fortune it bequeathed. He was surely the richest exile since the world began. From his lonely home at St. Helena he bequeathed to his relatives and friends $40,000,000. He had been rich, in gold as in power, beyond the dreams of avarice, and there must have passed through his hands a private fortune such as mortal man would have imagined. His decisions from conquered states have been set down at nearly $275,000,000, which is, after all, but six times multiplying the gift he secured for himself from the Austrian treasury after Austerlitz.—Chicago News.

"F course their trousers will bag at the knees and their slaves be miles too short, and they will be superior to such ef- fete requirements as fresh handker- chiefs and look askance at table napkins." "Anything is conceivable of two Vermont farm-reared boys, but I do wish, Betty, you would not itemize the horrors of the situation. Betty Vance, you are abominable." This because Betty imperturbably pursued the itemizing process. "Of course, they will say 'yes, man', 'no,' shr., with a down East draw, and will be deeply embarrassed by their own legs and hands, which are sure to be unmistakable air of having been cut at home with a dull par of shears, or chewed off by predatory calves." "Oh, Betty, don't. I shall die of hysterics. Why should papa inflict them on us?" "Because in remote ages of antiquity their mother's step-aunt married our father's brother's nephew. Papa comes out strong on consanguinity." "Of course, they will insist on cousinning us." "Once, perhaps," said Miss Alice Vance, with a dangerous gleam in her fine eyes. "They will never repeat the offense. I shall insist upon papa's introducing us as 'Miss Vance' and 'Miss Betty Vance.'" "Much good that will do us." The Misses Vance, of West Eighty-fourth street, had always been vaguely conscious of certain obnoxious connections in Vermont, but it had never occurred to them that these undesirable connections would ever have to be reckoned with personally. That morning their father had read aloud to them a letter from the mother of the two imminent invaders in which she asked naively that Cousin George would steer her two good laddies through the dark labyrinths of Greater New York." From the reading of the letter, Banker Vance had looked appealingly at his two elegant daughters. "I guess these McMaster boys haven't seen much of the world you have moved it up to," she said. "If they would go golf stick from the hoe handle, but for my sake I ask you to be good to them. When I was a struggling youngster the woman who writes this appeal to me was good to me. I should like to pay my debt to her. But I can't if you won't help me." Of course they would help him. And it was only after he had driven from the door in his smart coupe that they allowed themselves the freedom of criticism and prophecy. "The very fact that their mother says the boys want to see their first Fourth of July in New York, shows how frightfully crude they all are, when every sane person tries to get out of town at that very time. I thank heaven that most of our friends will be gone." "Father says they have been educated, Allie." "To know a book from a wheelbarrow, perhaps." "I am going after Lettie Blake," said Miss Vance, with decision, she left the lunch table. "What for?" "She is as near kin to these gawks as we are, and I'm going to compel her to share our responsibilities and our humility." "But the strike is on, Allie, along the very line you will have to take to get to Letty. And papa says they are growing holder and more intractable every day." "If we are to stop using the cars because there is a tie-up on a few line we may as well give up going out of the house at all. Somebody is always striking about something or other. I'll go alone if you are afraid." If I would let you incur any risk without me, even Vermont cousins. It would be a comfort to have Lettie here to dinner. We'll fetch her at all hazards." "You see, my dear," Miss Vance remarked in continuance of a conversation begun while she and Miss Blake waited on a street corner for a car. "It is as much your duty to see us through this ordeal as it is ours. They are your kin as much as ours. I know I shall expire of mortification before the week is out. If you hear of my sudden demise, please see to it that 'Died of the McMasters' is inscribed on my headstone." "She was talking across Betty to Lettie. A tall young man, improachably dressed, who had given up his seat when the tro looked as if he needed help, and who had taken his T-shirt and some difficulty as he swung by a strap, glanced at her over the top of his paper, and moved a few steps farther away. Betty, who as a rule was more observant than her sister, rebelled Allie for her mention of names. "How do you know his name is not McMasters, Allie? Our family have not patent rights to it?" "Who, that man behind the paper? He is a gentleman from the very looks of his pink finger-nails down to his polished shoes." Whitz—whizz—whizz! In quick succession three well-alarmed missiles fell upon the front platform of the car. The motorman reeled. His firm hold upon the brake relaxed and he sank to the floor in a senseless heap. With blanched cheeks the conductor passed swiftly from his post on the rear platform to take his comrade's place. A rain of sticks, sticks and gravel rewarded his adherence to duty. He gronned and turning a pale face towards the frightened passengers, said nervously: "We've broken a wrist for me. I can't manage the brakes at all. I wanted to run her straight for the stables, making no stops by the way." The man behind the Tribune flung down his paper and beckoned with his eyes to a passenger near the rear door. "Fred, can't you and I run her through? I believe I can tackle the brakes. If they floor me, as they have those two brave fellows, take it in hand yourself. Between us all we ought to be able to care for this crowd. You women get down on the floors. That's the safest place." He was out on the front platform. The car jumped forward under his energetic if unpracticed touch. He scarcely looked official with the tails of his cutaway streaming out behind, and his hat, which had received the imprint of his face, he beheared he got the door way, adhering to one side of his head in a raikish position. But his sinuey figure and the fire in his eyes as he glanced savagely to right and left at the hooting, running mob, he was rapidly leaving in the rear, inspired the frightened passengers with absolute confidence. No one was more relieved than the amateur motorman when a knot of blue-coated officials standing on the sidewalk located the car stobies for him. 'Here we are,' he said, bringing the car to a stop with an awkward suddenness, and the glint of for these two porous need attention." The crowd was surrounded by a questioning, clamoring exclamatory group of officials. "How did you manage it, if you never had a job before?" somebody asked of the tall hero, who was vigorously mopping his perspiring brow. It had to be done, and somebody had to. It had to be answered quietly, and before anyone could express thanks or appreciation he had disappeared in the crowd and vanished from sight. The man he had called to help aim in case of being stricken, acted the role of three badly frightened young ladies, and then he, too was lost to sight. Later on the same three damsels, arrayed in faultless dinner garb, discussed the promising picture and the cowing gawks. "I'm glad we have something to talk to the creatures about. Wasn't he splended? He ordered us all around as if he were a general on the field." "Napoleon could not have been more autocratic. And did anybody ever see finer eyes?" "Fred's best," said Betsy, "There came the gawks now. I hear pansa's latch key." Mr. Vance entered, followed by two tall young men. Alice gave a smothered scream. Betty groaned. Of course he had heard every word they had said about him before he became a hero! Lettie Blake proved herself invaluable. Reed McMaster's hand and asked, eagerly: "How did you do it?" He smiled down upon her quietly. "It had to be done, and somebody had to do it. That's about all there is to it. But I'm afraid Fred didn't take in many nickels for the company during the run." And Alice thanked him almost as much for relieving the situation of its gravity as she had for his running the car into safety. But there came a day when Mr. Arlie McMasters lost all bluemance of heroism. When he stood stammering and sputtering before beautiful Alice Vance like the verest coward in existence. "In fact," he said, forcing a smile to his agonized face, "if you say no to me, Cousin Allie, I shall try hard to die within a week, and if I do, please see to it that you have inscribed on my headstone: 'Died of the Vances.'" "There, I knew you heard it, but you have been behaving so beautifully I began to hope for the best." he said, carrently, and the best this world can afford me is this dear little hand. "Oh, but Alfred, I'm not half good enough to marry a hero—" "And Ferd and I have been scouring the city for the best patent trousers stretcher, and he has promised Betty to have al his coat sleeves touch his second knuckles. And—and—" "Want to know?" Alice drawled, with down East intonation, lifting demure eyes to his, full of contagious fun. "I've always school myself to a graceful acceptance of the inevitable—" "That's me, the ex-motorman interrupted, with a rant smile, and took entire possession of her masterfully as he had taken the car brakes in hand. Alice drew herself out of his arms, to fasten sincere eyes on his." "But, Alfred, how can you forgive me?" "To err is human," he laughed. "To forgive—divine," she sighed, nestling close to him in perfect content. BEATING THE MAIL. How Penny Postage Was Introduced Into England. Many years ago, when Queen Victoria first began to reign, it cost ninepence to send a letter from one English city to another. In those days, the postage was not paid by the sender of the letter as is now customary, but by the receiver. So of course there were many poor people who could not afford to pay ninepence when their mail arrived, and it often happened that they were obliged to forfeit the letters. Rowland Hill was riding on the emigrants of city, and he saw a postman bring a letter to a young girl, and demanded ninepence for it. The girl took the letter, scrutinized it carefully, and then handed it back to the man saying she could not afford to pay the postage. Thereupon Rowland Hill, being a kind-hearted man, rode up and insisted upon paying it himself. When the postman had gone the girl confessed to her benefactor, and he insisted to avoid paying ninepence every letter, he made certain marks on the envelope which she alone could decipher. "But," said Roland Hill, "don't you know you are doing something very dishonest, in thus cheating the government?" The girl admitted she did, but there was no other way to do. He meditated over this little incident, and his far-famed idea of "penny postage" was the result. At first he was laughed at by everyone, but he fought bravely and finally was rewarded by seeing his idea in practice all over the land. A Simple Remedy. The readiness of some people to send for a man to do those things about the house which the smallest amount of enterprise or ingenuity would enable them to do for themselves is illustrated by an incident, reported in the Chicago Tribune, of a family named Chuckster. He had bought some new gas burners with mantles. For a week or two the light was satisfactory; then it grew dim and dimmer until Mrs. Chuckster sent for the gasfitter. "It grows worse all the time," she explained. "When was it put in?" asked the man. man. "About a month ago." "Ah, yes; I see." Then he lifted the chimney off, took it out to the kitchen, washed it with soap and water, and the light burned as brightly as ever. "Fifty cents," said the man. Congressman Sulzer was busy writing at his desk, the other day, when a Republican colleague came over and asked him to go to the ball game. "Sorry I can't join you. Fact is I am too A LARGEST SHARK EVEN Caught! Not far from Rome is the little village of Nomi, and near by is a lake of the same name. In old days there was a splendid temple of Diana where the village now stands, and on the lake were seen at all times several imperial galleries, on board of which the reigning emperor and his courtlers frequently feasted and made merry. The temple and the long since disused basin, the latter having been sunk in a great storm, but many portions of the temple have been recovered, and some of the ornaments which adorned the galleries have also recently LARGEST SHARK What is claimed to be the largest specimen of a basking shark in the world was recently washed ashore on the beach at the Hotel Ormond, Florida. This great water creature measured 18 feet in length and weighed over 2,000 pounds, and was five feet tall. The shark men could lay in an outstretched line, while his tremendous mouth could take in the body of an averaged sized pony. Just how the mighty monster met his death is a mystery, as the species is known to be fierce and few have been known to have been captured alive. The shark being of such gigantic size, Messrs. Anderson & Bock, hotel owners, dug a grapefruit the presence of the shark to the Smithsonian institution, which, recognizing the value of the rare specimen, at once se- TWO DRINKS. ONE GLASS. It seems incredible, yet it is a fact, that one can drink water and beer at the same time out of one glass. Any ordinary glass will suffice, and the first thing to be done is to pour beer into it until it is half full, then over the beer is to be carefully placed a piece of smooth linen, and as soon as this is in position the water may be poured into the glass, drop by drop. As the specific gravity of water is quite different from that of beer, it is Impossible under these conditions for the two liquids to mingle. Either water or beer can now be drunken out of the glass, though the manner of drinking is different in each case. The water can be drunk in the ordinary fashion, but the beer must be taken such a straw Though this is really an easy trick, great care is necessary in pouring the beer and water into the glass and in filling the piece of linen in proper position. BALD HEADS. The Pessimistic Views of an Old Tonsorial Artist. New Orleans Times-Democrat: The Old Barber was in a gloomy mood. He was talking about bald heads. "Hair may disappear altogether after a while," he said, "and in that event barbers will have less to do than they have now. It will force the barbers out of business. From the way I look at it men are largely responsible for being baldheaded. They do not take proper care of their head covering. Long hair is one of the worst things in the world. No man can keep a scalp clean and wear long hair. If the scalp is not kept clean the hair will become unhealthy. It will finally die. Besides, it requires more nourishment for a long hair than it does for a short one. "Men starve their hair to death. Hairs must be fed and nourished like any other part of the human system. There is a quantity of oil in a little bulb at the root of each hair, and it is upon this substance that the hair feeds. The oil oozes out into the opening in the hair. I suppose the heat of the body forces this oily substance up through the hollow of the hair, very much like the heat of the atmosphere forces the fluid up in a thermometer. At any rate, it is forced up and often oozes out the end of the hair. Barbers have resorted to singing in order to keep this oil in the hair. Singing closes the hollow, seals it, and the oil is absorbed by the hair. If the hair is allowed to grow to any great length there is not enough oil to properly feed it. It becomes dry and finally dies. It cracks open and splits in two separate parts. This process continues until a man becomes bald, often prematurely, and he never knows just how it all happens. been brought to light. Among the latter is a bronze head of Medusa. Doubly interesting is this, not only because it is a fine specimen of ancient bronze work, but also because it was one of the principal ornaments of Caligula's private galley or yacht. Under the direction of the Italian government strenuous efforts are now being made to recover any other treasures of the gallies, these long-lost gallies, and, as the exact position of several of the gallies is known, it is generally believed that the search will be highly successful. EVER CAUGHT. cured it for the National museum where the skin and skull are now being prepared for exhibition. It is considered by scientists to be one of the most striking objects there. While it was lying on the beach hundreds of tourists from Ormond and vicinity viewed the giant form. The shark is a species of the Indo-Pacific basking shark, inhabiting the tropics, and has never before been seen in our waters. In its varied colors its differs markedly from the majority of sharks, being ornamented with buff spots and stripes on a dark ground. The mouth forms nearly an oblong aperture and is surrounded by more or fewer shark teeth. There are only two of these sharks on exhibition—one in Paris, the other at the British museum, the latter being 17 feet long. sideder in this connection. The tension of life is high now, and men are more feverish than they used to be. This condition has a serious effect on a man's hair, tending to deaden it, and it falls out. Between these influences, and others which might be enumerated, bald heads have been accumulating at an alarming rate, and unless the men begin to think more of these things the comb and brush will not be needed in the average household, and the bad hair may only close up shop, and the tape may not be so far off, either. It may not come in my time, of course, but I am not mistaken about the tendency. The number of bald heads already in existence will bear me out in all I have said." DRIES CLOTHES INDOORS. When clothes are hung up to dry in a kitchen or laundry they not only occupy a good deal of room, but they are an impediment to the free circulation of air, and for this reason a novel device, which is intended to do away with these undesirable features, is meeting favor among housewives of Europe. It consists of a small wooden box, to which are attached several cords. When clothes are to be dried this box can be raised to any desired height, and the cords can be stretched and fastened in the most appropriate places. In this way wet clothes can be removed in an instant to the warmest part of the room, where they will be dried in a few minutes. Decidedly Hureasonable Clara—Men are the most impatient creatures.

Great Learning. Kind Lady (horrified)—My child, I hope you not swear! Small Boy—Naw, not much; but I'm learner! He Could Make Money, But Was Rather Weak in Orthography. Philadelphia Times: According to all traditions, Commodore Vanderbilt, who laid the foundation of the family wealth that has become proverbial, was a man without education, knowing little of the world, and weak on spelling. He kept to himself the word on which the combination of the office safe was based, until sudden sickness prevented his appearing one morning and it became necessary to transfer the secret in order that the day's work might be done without let or hindrance. The bookkeeper sent to the commodore's house for the wordkey, and received reply that "dog" was the necessary word. But every effort to release the bolts on the "d-o-z" combination failed, and it was necessary to find a new word to fear that the old financier might have made a thoughtless mistake. But the messenger was speedily convinced that the mistake was somebody else's when the frascible commodore roared at him: "Dog, you dog! 'Dog!' Confound you all for a lot of aenis. Go back—go back to the office and open that safe on 'dog'—d-o-r-g-e, 'dog!' TOMB FOR NEWSPAPERS. British Museum Will Build Vault for Their Storage. Surely there is nothing more dead on earth than yesterday's newspaper. A man walked down the main or branch path of the mortuary set apart at the British museum for these mayflies or ephemera of the printing press might reflect a funeral reflection on ink slung in vain on paper misspept. Yet it was seen that live industry is conducted on numbers, and that these must be deposited within easy reach of London. Hence the British museum is going to spend $18,000 on a new old newspaper site. The papers are to be carried off to Hendon and there deposited, not in the lake, but in a building made expressly for them. The files can be ordered up to one of the reading-rooms of the British museum as required. In the big room of the new-papers. We believe it is held by one of the great public libraries that there is no such thing as a superfluous bok on the earth. And seemingly there is a newspaper too many. YANKEE AMAZON: Massachusetts Women Who Fought in the Revolutionary War. Boston Herald: The memory of Deborah Sampson Gannett, the woman soldier in the revolutionary war, who fought under the name of Robert Shurtleff, was honored lately at a banquet at Sharon, Mass., where she lived more than 40 years. Her body lies at Rockridge cemetery in that town, where the grave is frequently pointed out to visitors. The banquet hall was decorated with the national colors, and intermingled in large letters were the historic names: Deborah Sampson, Mary Lyon, Anne Hutchinson and Hannah Dustin. In a conspicuous place was a wreath in which were the words, "I Was There." This referred to Deborah Sampson's oft-repeated saying in her lectures on the battles in which she had participated while dressed as a man. One of the speakers during the evening suggested that these words be placed upon Sharon's town seal. The Office Boy Gets Taken in on 's Question of Collateral. Philadelphia Record: Stanley, the office boy, made his appearance in the art department wearing a Christian Endeavor button in the lape of his coat. "I'm glad to see you have decided to lead a moral and upright life in the future," remarked the cartoonist, fixing his gaze on the emblem. "Aw, far, em out!" replied Stanley. "Dis be collateral for a loan, see? An' I up against it at flat. I lenas a feller 80 cents, an', says, 'Gimme somethin' her security.' Well, he flashes his见 pin on me, an', like an easy mark, I takes it. Dere ain't no moral an' upright life about dis here deal." Well, the button is worth 80 cents, isn't it? asked the cartoonist. "Naw," replied Stanley in disgust. "I ought it was when I took it, but I found out since youse kny buy 'em for a quarter."
