»export department Friday andthe Number Thirteen Both Lucky for America. Prof. C. A. L. Totten, formerly: mil- itary instructor. in Yale,- replying to the question of a New Yorker. whether 1903 is to be lucky or an unlucky year says: “What is the matter with either Friday or the number thirteen? As to America, it bears thirteen all over its heraldry, and Friday has been its ehief day (discovery of America, Dec- laration of Independence, etc.) We have thirteen letters in BE. Pluribus Unum, the motto on our great seal. We have thirteen, thirteen times re- peated, on that seal. Take out a new silver quarter, if you have one left, and count the thirteens, even on its obverse face. Dear me, don’t worry over the luckiest number. A full baker’s dozen is thirteen—that is, par 4 for good measure, pressed down running over. Mannasseh was the thirteenth tribe in Israel and we are the people.” THE SPIRIT AND THE FLESH. One Was Willing, But the Other One Must Have Been Very Weak. Supreme Court Justice \. .odward, hearing Borough President Cantor de- ploring the fact that he had to at- tend a public dinner, where hé might have too good a time, said: “That reminds me of an old constituent up in Fredoria whose weakness was strong drink. The town voted no license, and to obtain liquor it was necessary to'take a tro!ey car to Dun- kirk, three miles away. One night 1 saw my bibulous friend waiting for the Dunkirk car. I saluted him and inquired where he was going: ‘Down. to Dunkirk, to get drunk,’ he shout- ed, and then he added solemnly: ‘But gee, how I dread it!'”"—New York ‘Times. Neighborly Amenities. Perhaps one cf the most curious col- jections of .mural inscriptions in Ire- land, where they abound, is to be found in the ancient city of Galway. It has. four gates, facing respectively north, south, east and west, and on each was a motto. That facing north bore the, words, “From the. ferocious O'Flahertys, good Lord, deliver us!” On the south gate, “From the devilish O'Dals, good Lord, defend us!” On the east gate, “From the cut-throat O’Kellys, good Lord, save and keep us!” And on the west gate, “From the murderous O’Maddens, good Lord, pre- serve us!” What a very undesirable collection of neighbors the poor folk of Galway appear to have had!” Survival of Rune Writing. Thero are stilla few aged Hungarian herdsmen who know and use the rune alphabet in almost the same form as it was used two centuries ago. The sculptor himself says that he has come across an old peasant in the Temescher Komitat, Michael Tax, who still keeps his sccounts in this an- tique style upon pieces of wood. This writing, however, is fast becoming extinct, and is incomprehensible to, the young. Since the introduction of compulsory schooling every child learns to reac and write, and the rune alphabet is superfluous. Michael Tax told the sculptor that he knew only three other persons who could read and write it—Athenaeum. Did Not Know New Mexico. Delegate Rodey of New Mexico has been astonished dufing the fight for statebood to find that a great many people in the eastern states think that New Mexico is a foreign country. A friend of his who runs a big store in the territory was in New York re- cently and went into a wholesale house to purchase goods. He told a lordly looking attendant that the goods were for shipment to’ New Mexico. “The is on the next floor,” said the New Yorker, which so enraged the would-be purchaser that he left the place after giving the as- tunished attendant a rather sulphurous Jesson in geography. A Lost German Expedition. Among the papers issued in con- nection with the German budget, is, we learn, one relating to the German expedition to the south pole. From this document it appears that absolutely nothing has yet been heard as to the expedition.. This protracted silence produces anxiety, and in estimating the expenditure for 1903 a sum of £25,000 has been contingently ear- marked for the expenses of a search expedition. Such en enterprise will be fitted out, should nothing be heard of the expedition by June 1.—London Globe. Careful of His Health. “Is there anything you want before you die?” asked a Western sheriff of a murderer on the gallows. “I would like a glass of new ale,” replied the condemned man. It was brought and the mar about to be ushered into eternity carefully vlew off the foam before draining the glass. “Why did you do that?” asked the sheriff curi- ously. “Because the foam o: new ale is bad for the health,” said the con- demned mar as they adjusted the black cap. Thea the drop as sspruns. Reform in New York. District Attorney Jerome of New York is disposed to look with some degree of pride on the result of his past year’s work in helping reform the police department of that city. Capt. Gannon haz just been convicted of irregular practices and find $250; Capt. Moynihan and Acting Capt. Church- il have also been “broken;” . Capt. Foody has been reprimanded; Capts. Delaney Price, Creeden,. Chapman, Sheehan and Inspector Harley have retired under reprimand. . A SETBACK TO SUPERSTITION... How John D. Rockefeller Cured Em ploye of Smoking. “I for John D. Rockefeller “once,” said.a well-known landscape gardener of this city. “One morning I was out in the grounds doing some work among the plants and flowers, and as I worked I smoked. Pretty soon the old man strolled out that way and when he came up to where I was, said in a quiet way: ‘I never had any money to burn.’ I didn’t tumble for a second, and he stood there looking at me. ‘I have managed to put away a few dollars,’ he continued, ‘but I never had any money to burn.’ It came to me all at once what he meant and I threw the cigar away. Next morning when he came around there I, wasn’t smoking. He came up with a smile on his face ard said: ‘Well, the stove isn’t going to-day.’"—Columbus (0.) State Journal. TOO EARNEST IN HIS WORK. Old Colored Man’s Humorous Warn- ing to His Employer. A southern member of Congress who lives in a Washington hotel has for his personal attendant an old col- ored man to whom he is much attach- ed. The negro, by virtue of long servi- tude, has come to'assume considerable authority over his employer. The Congressman was visited by some friends the other evening the host offering them a drink of whisky, say- ing he was about to take one himself, hoping to break up a cold. The party took three or four drinks, and the jug was about to be passed again, wnen the negro servant made things very | embarrassing to the’ host by saying: “Deed, sah, you said you was a-takin’ this yer whisky to break up a cold. *Pears like they was tryin’ to break up a hull winter.” Wants State to Feed Legislators. Representative Louis J. Tichacek of | St. Louis will introduce a bill in the legislature providing that the state shall furnish its legislators with rooms and board during their stay in Jefferson city. Mr. Tichacek says he is tired of rabbit pie and tough beef- steak and that as things are now a man-who lives in decent shape during the legislative session can hardly meet his expenses. He wants the | legislature to appropriate $50,000 for the establishment of a hotel, which could be used by members during the session and by state officials at other | times. “Then,” says he, “if the boarding house fails to supply stan- , dard grub the state can be held re- sponsible.” Chicago’s Centennial. The~ Chicago Historical society, tnrough its executive committee, has , expressed in favor of the commemor- ; ation and celebration on Aug. 1, 1903, as the centennial anniversary of the founding of Chicago. Resolutions were adopted in which the committee calls attention to the fact that the date chosen’ marks the passage of one hun- dred years since the Federal troops, commanded by Lieut. Swearingen, es- tablished Ft. Dearborn at the mouth of the Chicago river and laid the foun- dation of Chicago. The occasion, in the opinion of the committee, marks the real beginning of the city’s his- tory, rather than the arrival of John Kinzie, as has been suggested. Mountaineer’s Harsh Judgment. Bishop ‘Coleman of Delaware goes | on a tramp through the mountains of | West Virginia every summer and, of course, has many odd experiences. Last summer, clad in old and dust- covered clothes, he entered an inn | where several mountaineers sat talk- ing. One of them with characteristic hospitality invited him to take a drink, but the bishop courteously de- clined. “Do you eat hay?” said the native. “Why, no, my friend,” said the stranger wonderingly. “Tken,” said the mountaineer with scorn, “I don’t think you are fit company for | man or beast. Come, boys, let’s take something.” Friends Thought Him Dead. Ex-Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio has been visiting Washington and was surprised to find that nearly every- body thought him dead. A Joseph H. Outhwaite of Ohio died recently, and newspapers generally announced that it was the former member of con- gress who had departed the land of the living. “Fifty times during the past ten days,” said Mr. Outhwaite, “I have seen a startled look come into the eyes of acquaintances when I met them. ‘Great Scott,/ma ,’ they will exclaim, ‘I thought you were dead.’” Paid Bridesmaids. At a recent wedding held in New York there were no fewer than fifteen bridesmaids, who were all punctually paid. Besides the beautiful toilettes, given by the bride’s father, they each received $25 for appearing in the wed- ding train. Some of the young ladied receive as much as $100 for the “office of honor,” while one woma3, who is much sought after for her beauty, has .appeared as bridesmaid at more than 200 weddings, and has in a short time amassed quite a little forturie, besides receiving many costly presents. { Novels Read by Statespen. Senator Platt of Connecticut hap- pened into a house committee room and found Congressman Metcalfe of California reading. “A novel?” quer- ; with him, as he had often done. But Her Action Embarrassed Absent _Dr. John Bascom, ex-) tention to himself recently by a bitter attack on the business methods of John D. Rockefeller. Dr. Bascom w1s celebrated at the University of Wis- consin for his © absent-mindedness. Many stories are told of him im this regard. Ore of the stories concerns a reception that he once gave to the students of the freshman class. Lem- onade was served during the evenifg, and when the maid—an innocent crea- ture fresh from Ireland—handed the tray to her master, he put out his hand to it, and then, forgetting what he was about to do, let his fingers play aimlessly for several minutes among the glasses while he talked warmly upon some subject that much inter- ested him. But the maid misunder- stood Dr. Bascom’s hesitation. She thought that she would help him out of it. i “I think this is the largest, sir,” he said, and she thrust into his hand the glass that contained the greatest quan- tity of lemonade. OUT OF THE RACE. One Page of the House Is Thoroughly Up to Date. A certain member of the house, who was defeated for reelection, had for four years as a favorite one of the little pages of the house. The mem- ber was constantly doing little things to please the boy, of whom he was very fond. When the member returned this win’er the page seemed to be un- aware of his existence. He never vis- ited him, and failed to take luncheon The member, mystified, called him one day and inquired the reason for the breakirg off of the friendship. “Well, it’s this way,” replied the page, “You have been defeated, and I am only playing favorites, so, you see, I can’t be bothered with you any more.” A Question for Teachers. Who will tell me what is the plural of O? Is it “os” or “oes”? Tomatoes is the plural of tomato; stilletos is said to be the plural of stilletto. Here are some examples of inconsistency: Potato, potatoes; negro, negroes; buffalo, buffaloes; hero, heroes; dado, dados; toe, toes; canto, cantos; alto, altos; volcano, volcanoes; no, noes; | pro, pros; tyro, tyros; wo, woes; Oc- tavo, octavos; palmetto, palmettoes; grotto, grottoes; duello, duellos; car- go, cargoes; libretto, librettos, etc. You may have observed that our high and mighty dictionaries studiously avoid giving the plurals to these words, and to others ending in o. The night of an educated author to spell as he pleases should never -be ques- tioned. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of petty minis——New York Press. Schwab Early Showed Ability. Andrew Carnegie recently told a story on himself. He said some years ago he wanted to cross a mountain in Pennsylvania, and a youngster of rather hardy. appearance offered to take him over for 50 cents. Carnegie thought the price too great, and told the boy he would pay him only 25 cents. After a long argument, in which each stuck to his price, the youngster won out, and Mr. Carnegie says he allowed the lad to collect the 50 cents, not because the trip was worth it, but because he had to get on | the other side of the mountain. “I predicted that the boy would some | day make a fortune,” said Mr. Car- negie, “and he has. His name is Charles M. Schwab.”—Washington Correspondence New York Sun. Old-Time Stocks in England. A recent wish expressed by a mag- ietrate at Stratford, England, that cer- tain prisoners could be punished by confinement in the stocks recalls’ the fact that some of those instruments of punishment still exist in that coun- try. There is one at Havering-atte- Bower, not many miles from Strat- ford, and ‘another is to be found on the village green of Aldbury. Near the church at Brant Pelham is a rath- er notable example. The upright post was used as a whipping post and still retains the iron by which the culprit was secured while receiving his cas- | tigation. Sturry, near Canterbury, has | also preserved its stocks. The Mother’s Modest Request. {where the welfare of her child is concerned, a mother’s nerve is as great as her love. A “lady called up the telephone exchange yesterday morning, says an exchange, and made this remarkable request: “Say Cen- tral, I want to go over to Mrs. Smith’s for a while and I have no one to leave the baby with. So I have put her crib right in front of the telephone and I will leave the receiver down. If you hear her crying please call me up at Mrs. Smith’s.” The shock of this re- quest was so great that Central dropped her gun and said, “Busy” to the next eleven people who called up. D R. D.
