Bob Key has been convinced that all men are not truthful. Too much friendship on the part of those who denounce others will do for knaves. Bob is a good fellow, but he is surrounded by sneaks. A hint to the wise is sufficient. When the time comes these pro- fessed friends will be weighed in the balances and found wanting. The fences in Missippi are being fixed up. The book of H. C. Bruce is an apology for Southern white people. Booker T. Washington’s speech was another apology for Southern outrages. When Southern white people ap- plaud a thing you can depend on it that it is a bait of Southern fancy. Dr. Williams has issued his an- nual report. Riley’s and Paynter’s book will soon make their appearances. The politicians are in the soup. They are looking for a candidate. There will be music in the air. Don’t be alarmed when you hear & noise.

Be truthful and honest in your dealings with men. The whiskey men are not being treated fairly. Why should a man’s license be taken from him because a few tem- perance cranks say so ?

It will be cold, and the hungry politicians who carry their districts in the palm of their hands will need fire to Sg themselves warm. To be or not to be a delegate is the question that is disturbing the minds of the candidates. Conscience makes cowards of us all, but when you want to be a del- egate you throw away that con- science and spend your money. A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse, if some of the candi- dates could only know how to get around the ward politicians. Hamlet, I am thy father’s ghost, but I cannot see my way clear to shell, but $2,500 to be elected from the District. The boy stood on the burning deck, wondering if he should jump in the water or become a candidate for empty honors. “TI go, but I shall return, and by that time I shall make up my mind whether I shall expend to the bood- ler or not.’’ Great scott, read the Bce next week if you want something rich.

It is said that Mrs. Hetty Green’s one and only ambition is to make her son the wealthiest man in the world. The Japanese despise women who become intoxicated. Consequently it is rarely that a woman of Japan is seen drunk. “What the new woman wants to learn,” says the Manayunk philoso- pher, “is to buy a larger shoe and a smaller hat.” It will behoove the ladies to make the most of their leap-year privileges next year, for a leap year will not come again till 1904. A wealthy Parsee is erecting a hos- pital for women in India, at a cost of 50,006 rupees, the foundation stone of which has been laid by the Countess of Eigin. Lady Habberton, inventor of the divided skirt, has a new fad. She con- tends that female servants should wear knickerbockers, as such costume facilitates movements. Mrs. Alice Shaw, the whistler, who was once all the rage in London and Paris, is now puckering her lips for the entertainment of the habitues of a Berlin music hall. Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sartoris adheres to the fashion of hair-dressing which prevailed when she was a young girl— the style which banged the hair across the forehead as men did in Florence in Raphael’s time. The mother of Aubrey Beardsley, the artist, is a gentle, old-fashioned Eng- lishwoman, who lives entirely for her son and his pretty young sister. Mrs. Beardsley regards him with reveren- tial admiration. Mrs. Clio Hinton Huneker, who is to receive $10,000 for her Fremont statue which she was commissioned to execute by the ‘‘Associated Pioneers” of California, is said to be only twenty-four years old. She is a pupil of St. Gaudens. Mrs. Muller, an English woman, speared a wild boar at a “pig stick” at Tangler the other day. She is an excellent horsewoman, but her achievement with an_ eighteen-foci spear has created great excitement and admiration in Morocco.

Dean Hole tells a story of an acquainiance of his at Oxford who once wrote him a note be- sinning, “My dear Countess,” and then, scratching out “Countess,” sub- stituted “Hole.” Whereupon the dean, not to be outdone, began his reply, “My dear Queen,” and then drew his n through “Queen” and substituted “Dick.”—Household Words. “T licked him,” said the boy mourn- fully. “I licked him good. an’ now there are a couple of biz fellows in the next street jest a-layin’ for me to lick me ’cause I licked him.” “My son,” said the father earnestly, see- ing an opportunity to impress a les- son in international politics upon the boy. “now you realize the position that Japan is in.”—Chicago Tribune.

One of the} girls was chewing gum, and one of the | men suggested that she give the mon- key some, expecting that if he took it in | his mouth it would stick to his teeth, | and he would make sorry work of trying to chew it. The girl at once parted with | | the sweet morsel she was so industrious- | ly chewing, extending it toward the cage. | The monkey grabbed ft instantly and | put it into his mouth, but instead of j chewing it or attempting to, began pull- | ing it out in small rfbbons, as children | are frequently seen to do. When he had | it all out of his mouth he rolled it into a compact ball between his hands, threw it into his mouth and began the opera- tion again. He appeared to enjoy the performance as much as his visitors. That was imitation.” “That's all right,” rejomed another, “but I had an experience with that same monkey wherein he displayed intelli- gence. I was by the cage smoking one day, and I thought to annoy him by blowing smoke in his face. I was much surprised to find that instead of being annoyed he enjoyed it, as was evidenced by his edging up as near me as possible to receive the smoke in larger volumes. Soon he began scratching himself at the Point where most of the smoke came against him. When I had smoked one side for a few minutes he would turn squarely round to have the other side Then he sat up directly in front of me and received the smoke squarely in the face and neck. I don’t know whether he held his breath, but he did not cough, sneeze or wince a his back toward me, and it would have done you good to see him throw his hind feet over his back and scratch. It made in motion. Now, that monkey knew, through some sort of intelligence, that nothing will send fleas and other insects to the surface or stupefy them as effec- tively as tobacco smoke.”—Utica Ob- server. Publicity. Newspaper notoriety has a peculiar charm for a large number of people. The mere fact of seeing their names printed—really printed in a real news- paper—gives them a kind of satisfac- tion that they cannot obtain in any other way. The love of newspaper no- toriety seems to be born in people. It is no acquired, for you find tt in the youngsters whose age would permit them to have gotten no farther in the vanities of this world tha a faculty for swearing. A newspaper reporter un- derdstands this vanity of people better than any one else, for he has to deal a very dull man who would not be able to turn it to his advantage very often. The other day a fond parent who labors upon a daily newspaper of Pitts- burg went home to find his young hope- ful about to engage in a fist fight with a youngster of the neighborhood. He did not stop to question the right or hte wrong of the quarrel, for, his per- ception being naturally quick, he saw that his son’s opponent_had by far the advantage of his adversary in size and muscle. In fact, he saw that his son was in a fair way to be made to do the duty of a street sweeper. Of course it was his duty to stop such a disgrace- tul proceeding as a street fight, especial- !v under the circumstances mentioned. But his interfering with the would-he fighters in no way appeased the wrath or the thirst for gore of the large bov. For, as he moved away, the big fellow turned and safd: “Never mind, Bill, I’ lick yer yet into a jelly when yer pop’s not around.” This made the parent a Iittle anxious. as he knew that an onslaught meant a sure victory for the other side. and as he could not be around always to} protect his son he took advantage of) the knowledge of human nature which his profession had given him. A crowd of young boys had gathered around to see what they thought was going to be a fight, and as one of the antagonists, after being interfered with. walked away, their faces assumed looks of disappointment, but the father soon brightened them up. “Say, boys,” said he, “do you want your names to be printed in the pa- per?” Immediately a chorus of “You bet I do’s” greeted him. “Well,” continued the father, “if you) boys will band together and see that) that big fellow doesn’t lick Billy I will put every one of your names in the pa- per to-morrow morning.” That is why one of the morning pa- pers published the next day an item) which ran: “The Blank Athletic Club was organized yesterday. The princi-| pal members are—.” Then came all) the names of the boys who had sworn! —Harper’s Bazar. Petrified Uysters.
