"YOu'n Have to Take it Out of That.o

TURNER'S Falls ReporterJ
A young man from the hills, with a
new linen duster on his back and a huge
new umbrella under his arm, stepped up
to the general delivery at the post office
this morning and said in half-con-
fdential whisper that he would take a
stamp. The shade of the Father of his
Country green shade of him was
instantly in the hands of the young man
for inspection. He took it up curiously,
examined the diverse to see if the pic
ture was all right, and scrutinized the
an insufficiency of mucilage. Then he
laid the stamp down and said he would
take it, with the air of man who is
bound that no one shall get the better of
him in a trade. Postmaster Mayo looked
up and smiled assent although we
thought he smiled four dollars worth
while the purchaser began to hunt up
the money that was demanded in ex-
change for Uncle Sans little chrome.
Through seven compartments of leather
pocketbook the young man rummaged,
like a woman after flea; his trowsers
pockets were explored; his vest vaults
were made to disgorge their freight of
silver and bills; and yet he had not
found such denomination of money as he
seemed sure of possessing. After one
more dive into the caverns of his pocket
book he gave up in disgust, and reaching
into his 'trowsers pocket, pulled out a
nickel, and said, with an air of severe
| disappointment, "Well, you'll have to

How Bernhardt Masters the Situation.


During the earliest years of Sara
Bernhadts fame gentleman in the au-
dience had one night the exceeding bad
taste to persistently hiss her. She
spotted" him, found out his address,
called at his house, and had an interview
with him. / Iwonder how he liked it?
Then and there she told him it was al
ways her endeavor conscientiously to do
her duty as histronic artist and to
please the public; that she regretted
anything like failure in the duty, and
that she should feel greatly obliged if
he would kindly point out her defects,
in order that she might correct them.
This spirited conduct won for her an
other passionate admirer. Another day
she read in certain Partisan paper the
statement that her hair was false, and
that her teeth were far too good to be
genuine. Next day the dramatic critic was
amazed to behold a lady dash into his
room, and let down her hair in his pres
ence. Pull it!" she exclaimed, as she
placed a luxuriant tress in one of his
hands. " Is this real hair or not?"
Certainly, certainly" stammered the
man. Catching hold of his other hand,
she opened her mouth-but happily not
to bite-and made him finger her teeth.
care these false?' shrieked the lady.
"No, they are the most beautiful real
teeth ever beheld in my life" declared
the terrified victim, who would willingly
have sworn that black was white if il
would have given his visitor the least
satisfaction. "I am Sara Bernhardt, "
proclaimed the lady with as much
serenity as she could possibly put into
her voice, and the wretched critic made
up his mind for the worst. He, too, has
since become one of her most devoted
vassals, though, indeed, l do not know
how any man would dare to do anything
else. If any such foolhardy wight exist
in Paris, he may be sure that, sooner o.
later, Sara will go for him.

There has been little said about oeomar-
garine Of late. Like matchmaking seances
it bad dropped out of discussion. People
who, if they could not get butter liked some
thing on their bread that looked like butter,
swallowed it IN silence. In Memphis the sup
ply of country butter at moderate price
give the oleomargarine but slender chance,
and 1t is rarely heard of except among eco
nomical clearinghouse keepers. Oleomar-
garine, however, Is not the quiet thing it has
appeared to be. 1t proves to be a brisk ar
ticle, an active kind OF merchandise, a real
stining, moving, lively commodity. II is
not the merchant however, that has disco7-
cred the activity inherent in oleomargarine.
and which does not desert it even in dull
times. Indeed the fact is that, with oleomar-
gsrine, the longer dull times causes it to re-
main on hand, the more animated it be-
comes. Nothing in commerce, IN fact, be-
comes more brisk and buoyant than
a few cans or tubs of oleomarga-
rlne that have hung on hand
until they have become "old shopkeepers "
Notwithstanding all these ADVANTAGE adj
vantages that are especially appreciate in
hard times, when goods are too often life

the bigotry and intolerance which would
dwarf what was intended to be a great uni
verslty to the narrow views and ignorance Of
church men, and which eliminated in driving
from the faculty scientist who is everywhere
respected for mis- uprightness of life as well
learning. The APPEAL saw in the
treatment of Prof. Winchell an
attempted degradation of learning,
ability and conviction to the mar
row and contracted views of theologians
whose scientific course is limited to the book
of Genesis. II therefore defended the man
thus assaulted by ignorance. 1t defended the
man who had made his science a special
study, who is recognized as an authority ev-
erywhere where advancement is valued
and where men have ideas of liberty Of
thought, of speech and of love of God that
are not measured by dogmatic rules. This
is what the APPEAL did in connection with the
Vanderbilt university Save in this particu-
lar it is proud that the State contains such an
institution, and it prays and hopes that the
time is not distant when the resolutions and
action in Prof. Winchell's case will be ex-
plunged from its records and chair OF Truth
and Charity will be established for the espe-
ciaI benefit of the correspondent of the
