When two Greek street vendors, one of bananas and the other of peanuts, were brought in by a single policeman, there was a din of language that might have induced to wonder how the Greek army at Crete contrive to stand the mutual concus- sion. They were charged with obstructing the streets, the ordinance being that street vendors shall only remain in one spot ¢ minutes at a time. The violence of thi pair's indignation was expressed not only by their tumultuous speech, but by their frantically waving arms. ‘Only fi min’! Only fi min'!’’ was all they could say in English, in denial of the of- ficer's charge. It was not as musicai as the chorus ef a hundred thousand Greeks murmuring “Thessalia! Thessalia!” in He- rodotus, being too hoarse and choppy. They descended into their pockets and paid the lateral, and what the things meant that they said in the modernized language of Homer as they went out no man may krow.

The man from Alabama was charged with kicking colored youth. The colored youth was reed with responding in kind by at- tempting to knock the white man's heed from his shoulders. “Yo' honoh,” said the man from Ala- bama, steadying himself at the rail and ad- tvessing the station clerk as If the latter were the court, judge and jury, “yo’ honoh, this heah noisome reptile, this heah crawl. la mon: h, suh, made a vicious ‘k upon my ‘puhson, suh, as 1 was acefully attempting to remove him from my path, in o'duh that I might—" Your inquired the clerk. “Suh, mean to insult me unfamilyuh with . “Take him back,” said the station clerk. The colored youth made all of the officers in the reom dizzy by producing collateral for his appearance in the morning. The Fare Was Asleep. In the neighborhood of 1 o'clock in the morning a cab drew up outside the station house door. The cabby jumped from his seat, opened the cab door and tried to get Not long in a very and a very am) was the dignified reply, “do yo" iby claiming that yo’ ah I have no n. Beglected to christen my the occupant to get out. The cab occupant, however, was in the enjoyment of sweet repose. Then the cabby appeared before the station clerk and said that he had a fare who had persistently declined to give up the price of three hours’ transportation. Two officers went out, and in a minute the fare was standing before the desk. For once the comic papers were verified. He was the exact picture of the humorous weekly’s presentation of the well-dressed man engaged in bacchic saturnalia. “Why don’t you pay the man his fare?” asked Station Clerk Allen. “M'broke,”’ was the reply. “See if he is,” said the clerk to one of the officers. The officer reached into the fare’s right-hand overcoat pocket and brought out a whole handful of bills of a dark enough green hue to denote that they were big ones. “Why,” said th dred there aion “Thash so,” said the fare, with an ex- pression on his face of ludicrous surprise. “Didn't know I had it.

I've hardly been able to keep RICH CROPS. Relics of a Giant Race Found on a Florida Farm, From the St. A graveyard in a farm is not an extra- erdinary thing, but a farm in a graveyard is something different. Imagine a vast tract of many cr planted with corn, ne, tomatoes and many other vegetabie: whilst the ground round about is almos completely covered with skulls, bones and other debris that belong to a graveyard proper. Such is the farm of Capt. E. J. Wat- son, who lives at Chatham Bay Key, Fla., in the Tel Island section. In the fields are seen big corn stalks and sugar cane grow- ing out through empty skulls, while the cund underneath tne thickly matted to- ms nothing but a surface of Lonis Glode-Democrat. y is one of the most pecullar of slands in this group. It is ontaining about fifty acres, most being extremely rich land. In the center is a sort of raised highland, con- aining about ten ac On the edges of this there are still to be seen remains of what was formerly probably a fortitication of some kind, the coquina walls showing about @ foot high in some p! while in others they have completely disappeared. in the center are the ruins of what was once a temple of some sort, the fragments of wal! foundations still remaining being about 300 by 400 fest, in the form of an eight-pointed s' In the center of this island is a square upright column made from coquina. It is now only about ten inches square, and not over twelve feet high, but from its foundation and othe ints it would seem to have been at least feet sau and possibly twenty or » feet high. Queer Indian figures can yet made out on it. The Indians have a superstition regard- ing this island, and it is impossible to get any of them to visit it at night. Chief Iconadachee, one of the oldest. Indians there, says that years ago when the Span- rds in Florida were persecuting the In- lians a powerful race inhabited this south- ern section. They were large and fier and astonished the invaders by their gigan- tic size and immense strength. He says that this tribe was driven south of the Chatham river, beyond which lies an im- penctrable morass. They made this their leet fighting ground, and many tales are teld of the encounters that occurred there between the Spaniards and these Indians. Finally they were driven away from this refuge and was left of the tribe, pos- sibly 1,000, moved to this island. A mighty battle was fought here afterward, and it is upposed that the tribe was completely ex- terminated. An examination of the farm would indicate that a massacre of some kind had occurred, as the whole upper part of the key is completely covered with skulls and various body bones of all sizes and con- ditions. One can scarcely walk without treading on something of the kind. Hun- dreds and hundreds of the skulls are crush as if the owner had been killed by a bludgeon wound, or by a battle ax: in fact, three-fourths of all the skulls picked up show the marks of wounds of this character. A large number of skeletons have been put together, and the result has been sur- prising; a majority of them are nearly eight feet in height, correspondingly broad in shoulders, and’ with a mighty arm reach that would astonish even a Fitzsimmons or a Corbett. All the other frame bones are correspondingly large, being much larger than the bones of an ordinary human body. A great many scientists have visited this section this winter, but none of them could explain this strange find, except on the hypothesis of a complete massacre and an extinction of this tribe. Mr. Watson's farm is noted for {ts richness, decaying benes giving it an immense amount of fertilizing. From thirty acres planted in cane and vegetables he has sold nearly $10,- 000 worth of stuff. This shows the incom- parable richness of the place. see SS Dr. Nansen's Ancestors. From Harper's Bazar. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen is not the first of his family to show a bent for adventure in the north. His ancestor, Hans Nansen, born in 1598, explered the White sea, spent any years in command of a vessel in the Iceland trade, and wrote a Compendium Cosmographicum, wherein he descrived arctic routes so well that a copy of the beok was in use as late as 1841 in prefer- ence to more modern works. Dr. Nansen’s father was a lawyer, described as a some- what stern but judicious ditsciplinarian. ‘The more remarkable of the explorer’s parents seems to have been his mother, who had a mind of her own, and showed it in training the public sentiment of the time ir the matter of using snow shoes. In Mrs. Nansen’s day snow-shoeing was re- garded as an exercise of rather doubtful propriety for Scandinavian ladies, but she took to them with enthusiasm, and helped to win for her sisters a pastime that has since become common among Norwegian ladies. ce Repeating.” From Harper's Bezar, Few persons appreciate the vast harm that may be done by repeating to one per- son a derogatcry remark made about her to another. To rehearse a kind or compll- mentary comment can seldom have an un- fortunate effect—indeed, it may do good. But if a speech contains even the sugges- tion of fault-finding or disapproval it should never be told. It is a little matter that kindles many fires of angry feeling. It irks one unspeakably to know that his actions have been adversely commented upon by a third person, and behind his back, when he cannot defend himself. None of us has the gift to see ourselves as others see us, and we like to deceive ourselves into the notion that all our friends approve of what we do. Moreover, a comparatively innocent remark assumes gigantic proportions to our dis- ordered imaginations when we receive it second-hand. One good man resolved long ago never to repeat to an acquaintance any- thing that had been said of him unless it would have the tendency to make ‘him feel better satisfied with himself and with the person who spoke, A WHITE HOUSE DAY| a Scenes and Incidents: W hen the Pres- ident Receives. ee THE PUBLIC RECEPTION Persistent Cailers, and How They Are Treated. SMILES AND BOWS In nineteen minutes, Wednesday after- noon, President McKinley shook hands with fully 1,200 people who were packed into the east room of the White House to see him. It was the quickest work the President has yet done in that line. He was greatly as- sisted that day by one of the White House policemen. This officer kept the crowd moving, and did not allow any tarrying. Another official of the White House pr vented people from stopping for an extend- ed conversation with the President. These receptions are much appreciated by home people and visitors, but they do not know at what sacrifice the President gives them, especially at this time. Hard Work, President McKinley frequently works un til midnight, looking over the papers of office seekers prepared for him by Secretary Porter. He arises early and has his break- fast by 9 o'clock each morning. By 10 o'clock he has attended to a hundred things and is ready to receive the numerous callers of the day. On Wednesday, the day men- tioned, he was closeted with members of his cabinet for nearly two hours. The balance of the day until 3 o'clock, with a hort interval for lunch, was taken up in ceiving all kinds of callers, from United States senators down to the persistent old men who want to ask that some relative be appointed to a cheap Office. Persistent Women. It is noticeable that these aged females cannot be turned down by any rebuff from doorkeepers or secretaries. The fact is that they are not given rebuffs, but are politely informed that the President is busy and will be unable to see them. That deesn’t send them a They remain around and try every means possible to attain their ends. Sometimes they succeed. The old story that a woman is not to be deterred when she once makes up her mind is forci- bly brought to the attention of White House officials every day. One week an oid lady of Irish extraction wanted to ses the President on some trivial er- rand. She was eignty-seven years old and hard of hearing. She stated that her eye were good, if her ears were bad, and this v strictly true. Her sharp little eyes singled out every official who passed, and she tackled each one of them, all of them giving her the same kind of shake, but she took everything good naturedly. The numberless attempts to see the President each day, bycafl classes of peo- ple, would take columne ito describe. Pre dent McKinley, of course, knows nothing of these things, whi ateshandled by door- ers and secretaries -It is a good thing he doesn’t have all this, worry. Those he give him enoughifrouble. It is not Secretary Portier has his hands of this kind of people. the € Is. full with ca: Secretary Porter and Delega One of the funnte periences the new secretary has had was with a delegation of colored citizens of Mar¥lknd. Having lived in Connecticut, where the'“colored broth is not numerous, Mr. Parter is not familiar with their habits when ¢alling upon great rsonages. He didn’tyknow until recently they like to make Bpeeches on such 9c- casions. He didn’t *knéw that they could make these speeches aBJong as a summer sermon, when the congregation goes to sleep before the pastor gets to ‘secondly. In his blissful ignotance, Mr. Porter was trapped. He usheréd a delegation of color ed politiciaus into the President's presence, and thought they would be through in a few minutes. The head of the party start- ed upon a for speech, when he had faced the President. He couldn't be pulled off. He was going to say the words he had been rehearsing for days. Mr. Porter grew redder in the face as the oration proceed- ed. He rushed out to the room occupled by the reporters and said something about {t being a shame. Still the colored orator held on. His melodious voice could be heard all over the second floor of the build- ing. When the final words were spoken Mr. Porter was almost in a stupor. Tho President understood the colored brother orator started he knew what to expect. When delegations of colored politicians call now, Mr. Porter coaches them some before they enter. He diph ally telis them that the Pre: dent's room is not a school of elocution and that time is short. All of the President's callers on office- seeking errands are cordially received, and their stories patiently listened to. President McKinley gives the closest attention to all that is said to him, and looks his visitor squarely in the eyes while the conversatio! is going on. . The Public Reception. After hearing office seekers for hours an ordinary man would be in Ittle humor to receive a large body of people and to ap- pear pleasant to all of them. But this ts what President McKinley does. He ts gen- erally in the east room at a few minutes past 3 o'clock. The crowd is lined up and begins passing. The President has learned the art of handling a big crowd quickly. While he bestows a cordial handshake upon each visitor in line, the arm gently pulls the visitor on. It 1s an intimation that there 1s not time for tarrying, but lots of people do not so regard it. Half of the crowd, especially the male portion, has some compliment to bestow or some remark to make. “Why, I saw you up in Boston the last time you were there,” begins an old gentle- man with short, crisp side whiskers, “and I want to say that I was then satisfied you would some day be President.” He wants to say more, but the attendant who stands opposite the President pushes him on, and he reluctantly moves, mumbling something. “I remember seeing you at Canton,” says another. “Of coursé you remember me.” ‘The President bows. This man also would like to talk more, but is cut short. It 1s generally the old men who take these libertfes. They are certain that the President has heard of them and will al- low the whole processigy tp stop while they talk. 4 and when the The Women, Ai Line. The women rarely gay;anything. They wear their sweetest smile for eight or ten feet before they get to‘tiim and when the chief executive is redchéd these smiles are firmly fixed. Presidenj McKinley gives a quick, graceful bow to each, but he ad- mires a pretty woman,»and often some of these carry away a rériémbrance of an unusually graceful béw# and charming smile from the Presideitt?! A good many women take their babies with them. Some of thegrthink the Presi- dent might kiss the youngsters. He has not started this, however. He knows where it would lead. That iste trait, too, of the southern politician. Senator Zeb Vance used to kiss all the pebles in his state brought near him and bestowed a resound- ing whack upon the. wives if they did not object. said Smiles and Bows. But the way some of the people bow and smile as they get near President McKinley. There’s the man with the excessive bow. He barely gets the President’s hand in his own when he bows low. He almost breaks in the middle, making it dangerous to the person immediately behind him. There's the fellow with the gide-scraping bow. Here's the fellow who gracefully inclines his head and body, without appearing awk- ward. Next is the man with the stiff, formal nod of the head. Some of them do not get to make their courtesies until they are hclf way past the President. It’s the same way with the women. If there was a kinetoscope reproduction of the smiles of men and women,’ it would be a great entertainment. Here comes “de cul lud lady frum Virginny.” Her broad lips are parted until her teeth and gums can be seea. It did her so much good to shake the President’s hand that she goes out of the room with the smile clinging to her. All the way on up to the charming society Woman whose winsome smiles make her popular wherever there are men, the va- rietv is a vast one. —— RAISING FAMILIES FOR PROFIT. How Connecticut Mill Operatives Pro- vide for Their Old Age. Putnam, Conn., Corr, New York Times.

Big mills, with their hundreds and even thousands of operatives, are nu- merous, ard little mills, each employi from twenty or tairty to 100 or 200 worke of both sexes, are tucked down between the hills in all sorts of possible and se: ingly impossible spots. large mills is sprinkiing of women of to be found a ; er nationalities, but fully ninety per cent are French.

It was all be- cause of a little question of economy, too.”” “Economy?” “Yes. We both agreed that economy was necessary, and we were just as nice and generous to each other as possible, until—until"”— She burst into tears and for a long time refused to be comforted. “ntil what?” inquired her mother as soon as there was an opportunity. “Until it came to the question as to whose bicycle was to be sold, for we were unanimous in the opinion that we could only afford to keep one.”” Then the mother realized that the breach was indeed a serious one. —— A Queer Suit.
