The city hall oMficials tock sides, and a Webster was brought out to settle the dispute. The word was found to be pronounced “‘franehiss,’’ with the accent on the first syllable. “When the gentkmen who had called it ‘francheese’’ was next seen, he was jokingly informed by the mayor that his propunciation was incorrect. Explanations followed. ‘Are you certain ?'’ asked the gen- tleman, with unfeigned interest. ‘Perfectly so,’’ was the reply. “Well, I'm ruined, then’? wag the rejoinder. ‘I've called that ‘fran- cheese’ before some of the most cul- tured men in the country.’ ee oe | Yesterday a family on the North Side anticipated diuner with more than usual felicity, for on the menu was ice cream—a delicacy not very popular except in warm weather. When dinuer time arrived the daugh- ter was allowed to ‘‘turn the freezer.’’ She was toll that it would require about fifteen minutes to freeze the cream, and after she had laboriously ground away at the machize for twen- ty minutes, she thought it was time the cream was freezing. But it was not yet frozen. The mother poured salt on the ice, and with this added improvement, another fifteen minutes were consuuied ia a futile effort to freeze the cream. More salt was ap- plied, and the father volunteered to try bis band. He turned away until nearly 1 o'clock, and still the stuff wouldn't congeal. It was then that the lady of the house bethought her- self of tasting the salt. She had poured the entire sack into the freezer, and thought it funny that none of it seemed to melt very fast. So she tasted it, and found that she had wasted fifty cents worth of sugar in an unsuccessful effort to freeze the cream. eet Fy The following story will be appre- ciated by poker players. A Sunday or two ago a certain young man went to church with his best girl. He was nota regular attendant, and did not expect the inevitable contribution box until it was almost in front of bim. Instinctively he reached into his pocket, but, presumably, he felt no coin of the desired denomination, as moved to another pocket with the same success. The gentleman with the box had by this time stopped, and the young man was getting em- baressed. Finally, after the atten- tion of everybody around hed been attracted to him, he looked up at the man with the box and having been able to find @ dime, unconsciously murmured. **I pass.’’ ae dam | A young man in the Tenth grade of the high school came home the other day, and asked his mother what a ‘‘battalation’’ was.

HW, Province have returned from the Sunday school convention, Some of the more neryous of our people ro doubt gave a sigh of reliet on learning that in a certain call for volunteers the colored brother need not apply. The local demonstrations of pa- triotism have a significance beyond the mere martial display of the mo- ment. It goes to show that in any cause in which the interests of our common country is involved, its peo- ple are not slow to recognize her needs; and with a spirit born of the true American, and with the theory of preparation as opposed to inspira- tion in view, is ever ready to protect and defend our government Don’t become so much excited over the war that you will neglect your business, Keep your head on. {t will hardly help your case any to lose it, Talking over war will not raise a crop of corn, wheat, tobacco, potatoes or anything else. It will not run the shops, the trades, or help makeahwving. It will not buy a pork chop or a cup of coffee, While our armies are fighting our battles, would it not be a good idea for us to con- tinue to attend to our duties, Our whooping and yelling will by no means scare the Spaniards out of Cuba, It will take shooting and lots of it. It is not the wagon that makes the most noise that has the largest luad, neither is it the fellow who yells the loudest for war that will be the first among the volunteers to enlist.
