A. Yeiser has pur- chased a new set of harnesa for his pony, The fit of the other set was something awful, and it is said other horses have been known to take fright and run away just from a sight of it, The pony ran away himself a tew days ago. He saw the street roller, and having been told that it was bought by a Republican council, it proceeded to put as much space be- tween itself and the machine as pos- sible. The buggy was wrecked, and after the mayor heard of jt he tele- phoned his wife that he had swapped the pony for a better horse. “You can just swap back,’’ replied. “Bat I can’t gwap tested the mayor, “Bat you myst!” “Well, the man won't swap back without $5 tg boot.’’ “Well pay him the $5 right away and get my/pony back!’’ the Mayor laughed, for he had not thought of trading. she back,’” pro- Constable Anderson Miller, of Massac, wept over to Poplar Bluff, Mo., last week on some kind of a@ wild goose chase, The constable is a big six-footer, wears a blue uniform with conspicuous badge and carries a huge cane and plenty of Kentucky gall.

Somebody might find you laying around tomorrow with a big hole ponehed through you, and nobody’d know who done it.’” As the constable himself related it in his own inimitable style when he returned home: ‘‘I-I-I tell y-you, I guess the m-m-man wa’nt there, af- ter all, We d-d-didn’t stay any longer, and e-e-eat breakfast iu Pop- lar Bluff the n-next morning before d-d-daylight!"” “How far is Poplar Bluff from the camp?” they asked him, ‘Oh n-n-not but about twenty-five m-miles’’ returned the constable. Several electricians on one of the street car lines were repairing wires a day or two on North Thirteenth street. A number of the steel cords were lying on the road, preparatory to being strung, when an Irishman driving a gravel wagon approached. He halted in front of the wires, which lay across the street, waited impatiently for a few minutes, and then started to drive over them. “Hold on there," shouted ond the men at the top of the pole, as he held aloft his tongs and looked down at the impatient teamster, ‘‘you try to drive across there and you'll see Jesus! ‘aith,’’ retorted the Irishman, ‘‘an’ ha's dhe very mon oi’m lukin’ fur.” And he proceeded serenely on across the wires, F Mr. Edgar G.

An actor’s life, he thinks, is very much like a night's appearance on the boards. One moment he may pause while the applause of the mul- titude resounds, and the next, may have to stop his ears to drown the hisses, The world, to whom he bows for fame and fortune, is fickle in- deed, and tomorrow may turn in cold remorseless ingratitude from one on whom yesterday she showered her smiles and caresses. One noticeable thing, he avers, is the deterioration of public taste. The change has been gradnal, but most marked, even in the past few years. What was once considered illegiti- mate in the profession, such A vaudeville, is now a fad, and mapy of the erstwhile celebrities, who find it profitable to pander to the provail- ing tastes, whatever these may be, have drifted into it. Agtors of twenty years ago won their reputa- tion principally by mesit and hard work ; now it is usually by one hapry hit that they spring into meteoric re- nown, many to descend with greater |" celerity than that with which they went up. Mr. Bourne can tell many interesting reminiscences, and has histrionic kfstory at his finger’s tips. “° ° A day or two ago a prominent Broadway merchant was|walking along ous churches.

A member of the British house of commons discusses a question which would have immediate and very serious (interest for this country if the Bu- ropeap war thet fs always to be re garded as a possibility should actually oceur, It haa already been proposed on the continent that in case of war food be declared contraband. The primary effect of this would be to place Great Britain at @ tremendous disadvantage if she were one of the parties to the contest. That country now imports food to the value of about $750,000,000 a year. Of wheat and flour alone it im- ports 23,000,000 quarters @ yea and produces only 5,006,000. The stock on hand is never more than three months’ supply and sometimes no more than one, 8o that making contraband would be quite likely to yesult in a bread famine within « very modgrate time. Ot the vast quantity of food imported the United States furnishesabout $200,- 900,000 worth. If food shipped to Great Evansville, Paducah and Cairo Packet, Line.

In- surance of cargoes might easily rise to a point which wonld stop shipments Of the further effects it is unnecessary to speculate at present, but it is evi- flent that the proposition to declare food products gontraband hae a vital interest for uy as very large shippers of such supplies. Mr. Beton Kerr, the author of the North American article, suggests that in no event would this country join in recognizing the pro- posed addition to international lew and in thie he is doubtless correct, For England the proposition is so threatening that Mr. Seton Kerr has introduced In the house of commons a resolution, since adopted, which de- olares the situation demande “the geri gus attention of her mujesty'y govern- ment” Great Britain cannot consent }o the proposed change nor can ahe pre- adoption ‘by the continental powers if they choose to take such go Hon, whieh indeed will give them pow sible advantages great enough to ao count for the open support the plon bas received from some of them, notably France.
