tainers to EGKHARDTS ENTERTAIN SELEGT. SUNDAY GROWD To Captain Otto and Company K Belongs the Credit for Secur- ing Entertainers. The Musical Eckhardts, entertained a goodly crowd both Sunday afternoon and evening deserve much credit for the enter- tainment they furnished. To Company K and to its cap- tain, Adam, E. Otto, belongs the credit for bringing these enter- tainers to this city. To criticise the numbers and selections rendered by the Musi- cal Eckhardts is a difficult prob- lem, but judging fromthe applause the various numbers received it is only fair to comment equally on each of them, The medley of Southern Qirs on bells was well rendered. The Wil- liam Tell overture duet on the xylo- phone and marambophone was very artisticly rendered. The song of Martha by Faust and the Glow Worm by Paul Lenke, as well as the recitation, "' Just Twenty Years Ago Today,” were all ably given and were received enthusiasticly by the attentive audience. The trick Violin duet illustrates in how many positions the instrument can be played upon and the selec- tions rendered by the two Eckhardts shows conclusively that they were artists in their profession. Among the favorable selections there were the trumpets and horns by the quartet representing the circus band and the Little German band. _ The imitation of the steam calliope by the quartet was well rendered and deserved the applause given by the audience. The wish of all those attending seems to be that Company K will again, in the near future, be instru- mental in bringing such able enter- this city. The only who thing that was lacking, if any, was a larger crgwd. .This being the first entertainment of its kind given in the city on Sunday night might- be an excuse for the small attendance, but next to a sacred concert this is a close second. It is 'hardly fair to say that it would be out of place for church members to attend an enter- tainment of this kind on the Sabbath day. Candidate for Alderman in Third Ward.

K. K. Roe. ‘‘Save the Hamm’s” An excedingly interesting remark, anent the present agitation to boy- cot the meat trust, was over-heard at the Metropolitan Club the other evening. Jobn Graham, the local meat dealer, and Theodore Gullickson, local agent for the Hamm Brewing company, were discussing the sub- ject of local boycot on meat when Gullickson remarked: “I don’t care about the boycot, so long as they don’t cut out the Hamm’s,” ey Candidate for City Clerk.

Dogs of Luxury. The appearance of little dogs as ob- Jects of luxury goes back to the most anclent times. Documents are not wanting that go to show that Greek and Roman women had little dogs which were {dolized by their mistress- es. Even men, particularly among for- elgners, were not ashamed to walk the streets of Rome with pet dogs under their arms. Speaking of this subject, Plutarch relates that Julius Caesar, seelng one day in Rome some strangers thus loaded with thelr dogs, asked them fronically whether the women of their country did not bear children. Tertia, the daughter of Luclus Aure- lius Paulus, was so fond of her dog that in the moment of bldding farewell to her father, who was about to leave his country and his family to wage war agalnst_Perseus, king of Macedo- nia, she frankly admitted that the sad- ness imprinted on her face was due to the death of her pet dog Persa. In Europe the greyhounds were the first favorites of women during the middle ages.—Boston Post. Too Much of a Good Thing. George Marshall, a philanthropist who always kept a sharp lookout never to be wasteful, decided to go for a week's camping, taking as his guests some ragged street urchins. One morn- Ing he used the bits of meat left from the evening before and made hash for breakfast. There was some left over, which he concluded to reheat and serve again at noon, “Johnnie, will you have some hash?” be asked one lad. “Bet your life,” replied the lad, who was constitutionally hungry. “Peter, pass your plate for some hash”—to another freckled nosed lad. “Not if I knows it,” was the unesx- pected reply. “I thought you liked hash from the way you ate It this morning,” replied Mr. Marshall. “I did like it for breakfast,” said the lad, “but none of yer review of re- views for me for dinner.”—Lippincott’s Magazine. Sided With Father. “There is a little chap in our town,” said the suburbanite, “whose father and mother have words quite frequent- ly, and have them loud enough to be heard by the neighbors. The burden of their recriminations when audible s, on the wife’s part, that she ever lowered the Hicks family sufficiently to marry a Stubbs, and on his part that he ever honored the Hicks fam- ily by allying it with the house of Stubbs. “One day last summer the young son of the house went fishing. He had barely got his lifie into the brook when he heard his mother calling him. “‘There it is,’ sald he disgustedly; ‘the minute the Stubbses begin to fish the Hickses begin to holler.’ "—Cleve- set covers, drawers, etc., etc., means a saving of broideries in Bemidji ings, Insertions, broideries, These we are going Embroideries We boast of showing the largest and finest line of Em-= 120 per cent Discount in Muslin Underwear f Our entire line of IMuslin Underwear. consisting of cor= gowns, skitts, all well made and handsomely. trimmed, at a reduction which 20¢ on Every Dollar Table in Edg- Bands, Flouncings, Corset Cover Em= Medallions, etc. to place 5 on sale at a 20 per cent Dis=- count during this White Sale Handsome Patterns in very desirable Linens at 20 per cent Discount During White Sale.

T was out walking in Kingston, Ja- shalca, one afternoon, and while on a narrow street I came upon two black women, each apparently in a towering rage. Each woman's tongue was go- ing at a phenomenal rate, but not a ward of their screeching jargon was intelligible to me. Finally one of the women scooped up a double handful of the ever pres- ent Kingston dust and flung it over the other woman, with a wild shriek of laughter. The dust covered woman re- taliated by taking a tin pan she had in her hand and, scooplng up a couple of quarts of the dirty water in the gut- ter by the roadside, drenching her as- sallant with it, while all that part of Kingston resounded with the mad laughter. The two women then closed in on each. other and proceeded to en- gage in a prolonged wrestle, which resulted in both of them falling to the ground, where they rolled over and over in a cloud of dust and finally stood upon their feet, facing each other in a state of dirt and disorder beyond description. Fearing that they would make a sec- ond onslaught on each other and wish- ing to play the part .of peacemaker, 1 stepped forward and asked: “What fs the trouble?” Courtesying low, one of the women sald in a soft, drawling voice: “No trouble at all, mastah; we’s jess foolin’.”—Exchange. Cast Up by the Sea. They that go down to the sea in ships learn much of the mysteries of life. From the coast of Africa there traveled to Scarboro, Me., the painting of an old time sea captain of that town who long years ago was lost with all on*board his ship in the China seas. The ship sailed trom the home port with every prospect of a successful voyage, but she never returned to the home land. Years went by and she was given up as lost, her name was taken from the shipping list, and no news of her came back to the waiting ones at home. Long afterward a pass- ing vessel picked up off the African coast the portrait of an American sea captain such as the Chinese artists paint, and on the back of the picture ‘were the captain's name and that of the port from which he sailed. The paint- ing was forwarded to the little Amer- ican town, and it was found to be a picture of the Scarboro sea captain, master of the lost vessel that had left the harbor so many years ago.—Kenne- bec Journal.. Largest Grave In the World. The largest single grave in the world occupies just exactly one acre of ground, which is surrounded by an iron railing. This enormour grave is located at Pearto Cortez, in Honduras, and is the burial place of a woman, The tombstone occupies the center of the ground inclosed, and several wood- en figures representing the deceased are arranged in statuelike form in dif- ferent parts of the ground. There are no‘fewer than sixteen of these fig- ures, which in the evening give the ‘plnce a ghostlike appearance. The de- ceased bhad died rich and in her will had specified the amount of ground to be purchased for her grave and the manner in which it should be deco- rated. She had many curious notions, and the size and ornamentation of her grave was one of them. Coleridge’s Cloudiness. There is in Mr. Ellis Yarnoll’s remi- niscences, “Wordsworth and the Cole- ridges,” a very amusing story of Sam- uel Taylor Coleridge, whose thoughts Wwere sometimes too profound even for poets to follow. Wordsworth and Sam- uel Rogers had spent the evening with { Coleridge, and as the two poets walked away together Rogers remarked cau- tiously: “I did not altogether understand the latter part of what Coleridge said.” “l didn't understand any of it” ‘Wordsworth hastily replied. “No more did 1!” exclaimed Rogers, with a sigh of relief. A Formidable Army. The battle was going agalnst him. The commander in chief, himself ruler of the South American republic, sent an aid to the rear, ordering General Blanco to bring up his regiment at once. Ten minutes passed, but it didn’t come. Twenty, thirty, an hour—still no regiment. The aid came tearing back hatless, breathless. *“My regi- ment! My regiment! Where s it? ‘Where is it?” shrieked the commander. “General,” answered the excited aid, “Blanco started it all right, but there are a couple of drunken Americans down the road and they won't let it g0 by.”—Argonaut, A Triple Coincidence. An almost incredible triple coinci- dence was noted in France some years ago. In 1894 the deputy for the Ar- dennes was M. Ferry; for Loir et Cher, M. Brisson, and for the Vosges, M. Hugo. In 1793, 101 years earlier, each district had been represented in the chamber by a man of exactly the same pame. Pleasant.

Her Sunday Knitting. “Years ago,” sald an Auburn woman eighty years young, “it was count- ed a sin among the good wives of the little Maine town where I was born to waste a single moment of time. I have heard my grandmother tell the story of one dame who much scandal- ized the church people on one never to be forgotten occasion. People who went early to church were surprised one Sabbath morning to see Aunt Bet- 8y sitting away up in front, gray yarn stockings In her hands and her knit- ting needles clicking merrily away as she worked. The minister stopped in surprise as he passed her on his way to the pulpit, but the old lady was not one whit disturbed by his disapprov- Ing alr. Smiling serenely, she sald complacently: ‘Thought I'd knit a stitch while the people are gathering. I never was one to waste a minute, elder” And the good dame continued to click her needles, while the horrified minister hastened to his desk. Not #ll he began his sermon did Aunt Bet- 8y lay aside her Sunday knitting work.”—Kennebec Journal. Carlyle Was a Terror. The domestic infelicity of the Car- Iyles is common knowledge, but it is not“inappropriate to give Mrs. Carlyle’s view of her husband. “If he would only be satisfied!” she used to some- times complain of Carlyle. “But I have had to learn that when he does not find fault he is pleased, and that bas to content me.” On one occasion when Carlyle was away from home Mrs. Carlyle busied herself to get all in perfect order for her husband’s arrival, and when all was complete—his dinner ready, his armchair in its usual position, his pipe and tobacco prepared, all looking as comfortable as possible—Mrs. CO. sat down at last to rest and to expect him with a quiet mind. He arrived, and “after he had greeted me, what do you think he did? He walked to the win- | dow and shook it and asked, ‘Where's the wedge of the window? And until ‘we had found that blessed wedge noth- Ing would content him. He said the window would rattle and spoil all.” Hard and Soft. “What,” asked the teacher, “does an- thracite mean?” “That'’s a kind of coal,” said little ‘Willie. “Yes. Anthracite coal is what we call hard coal. So ‘anthracite’ must mean ‘bard.’ Now, can you tell me what ‘bituminous’ means?”’ “That's coal, too,” Willie replied. “But it isn't the same kind of coal that anthracite is, is.it? Bituminous coal is what we commonly refer to as soft coal. Now, Willie, let us see if you can form a sentence containing the words anthracite and bituminous.” ‘Willie thought the matter over for a minute and then said: ~ “Here’s one; ‘This morning before pa started downtown ma wanted $5 for groceries and things, and she tried to get it by saying bituminous words, but pa gave her an anthracite look, and when he disappeared around the corner she was weeping bituminously.’” She Investigated. ‘What Elsie’s sister wanted to know was where Elsfe got that beautiful silver mounted walking stick. But Hisle didn’t want Elsle's sister to know, so Elsie’s sister got Elsie’s fa- ther to ask Elsle. . “I found it,” Elsle poutingly inform- ed her father, “floating like a schooner on the waves one day when I was bathing.” But two days later Elsie's sister sald to Elsie: , “Come—tell me! What is his name?” “Name!” repeated Elsie blankly. “What do you mean?’ “I mean, dear,” said Elsie’s sister, “that last night I tried to make that stick of yours float in the bath, and— well, darling, it sank!” — Pearson’s ‘Weekly. A Metaphor With a History. To “know a hawk from a hernshaw” 18 a metaphor with a curlous history. It 1s & comparison drawn from fal- conry. “Hernshaw” is a corruption of “heronshaw,” or young heron, a bird which was a common prey of the fal- cons. To know a hawk from a hern- shaw is therefore to be able to dis- tinguish the falcon from its prey. A further colloquial corruption crept into the phrase—“to know a hawk from a handsaw,” a form used by Hamlet in one place. Possibly the distinction be- tween a hawk and a hernshaw was found not to be strong enough for the purposes of the proverb.—Manchester Guardian. Agreed With the Lecturer. During a lecture at one of the schools on the subject of “Ventilation and Ar- chitecture,” the temperature of the room rose to a very high pitch. “And now we will turn to Greece,” said the lecturer. “So we will,” sald one of the audl- ence, wiping his brow, “unless you open some of the windows.”—Path- finder. Out of It, “Yes, he makes a big hit with her. He has a green automobile, and it matches her dress.” “Well, why don’t you take her driv- ing?" “I ain’t got no green horse.”—St. Louis Republic, It 1s Odd. Gyer—Isn't it queer that the bump of benevolence is located exactly a the top of a man’s head? Myer— ‘What's queer about it? Gyer—Why, it's as far from the pocketbook as possible.—Chicago News. Happiness consists of thinking so and sticking to it.—Manchester Union. Stands For Many. Boy--Cow is a noun, feminine gen- der, third person singular, and stands for Mary. “Stands for Mary?” asked the master In astonishment. “Yes, sir,” .responded the urchin, with a grin, “for {f the cow didn’t stand for Mary how could Mary milk the cow?’—London Express.
