Splitting the Difference.

A Young man with tie blush Of coun-
try life on his cheeks sold out his pro-
duce on the market yesterday and entered
ehoe store and said he wanted pair
Of shoes for his wife.
"What numberl" asked the clerk.
The young husband scratched his
head, looked very much embarrassed,
and finally said:
"Well, I've been married eight months,
but this shoe business stumps me. l
don't hardly believe she wears 'levens,
and l don't think she can get into sixes
guess if we spl the difference we'll hit
her pretty close.
He was given pair of eights, and af
ter squirting along the soles he observ-
ed:
81 guess them'll do. She's awful
proud, and know she II squeeze into 'em
for all she's worth"

John Sherman aband )ns all hope Of
the success of Foster in the coming o.
tober election. His Greenback organ,
the Washington Republic, adveltises
itself fer sale. The three-legged ticket
has proved too much for the machina-

greater inancier than Alexander Hamil-
ton, When Sherman started the Wash

his department into its Golfers, he calcu-
lated to use it as means of preventing a
union of Ohio Democrats and Green

Ewing utterly extinguished his hopes in

EE England educates her artillery and
engineer officers at Woolwich, nine miles
east southeast of London, where royal
dock was established as far back as the
reign of Henry VIII, the Royal Harry
having been there in 1912. The artillery
headquarters were not established until
the close of the last century, the Royal
Arsenal having been placed there some
years before. The cost for civilian
son at Woolwich is altogether about
81 900 a year, for the son of an officer
much less, ana for the son of one killed
in action the charge is little more than
nominal. Cavalry and infantry officers
of the line receive their education at
Sandhurst, which stands on heath in
Surrey, about 20 miles from London.

rough man swear thilt ssthe foot OF
woman should not tonch the e.plarade
to-day" With the ready tact which
characterizes her, she recognized him,
as . leader, ana made her way to him,
the band following.
Laying her hand on his arm In her
kindly way, she said:
"Sir, few of ne women want to come
into the esplanade to hold q little prayer
meeting; wont you clear the way for US
and stand by rsf"
His better feelings we're appealed to !;
she little manliness he had left was
aroused, and, without moments hesi
iaiion, he yelled, sClear the way here
for these women! Stand back there,
and remember II anybody touches one
ofthese women they've got to fight me"
4 The way was cleared, the crowd fell
bsck, and the utmost quiet prevailed, the
stalwart backwoodsman standing guard
beside Mrs. Leavitt while she led the
meeting.
The stones of the esplanade were
damp and cold.
The wife Of drunkard who was scant-
" dressed, was called on to pray. for
she was mighty in prayer. One OF the
6 ladies of the band. who was o million
aire, and had $1,000 shawl on her arm,

A dsgraceful, one-sided fight took place
at 8 o clock yesterday morning in front OF
she saloon l.he.southeast corner of Elm
and Longworth streets. 1t seems that a
stranger from the country went into the sa-
loon dead drunk A hangcr-on of that
place. named Alex. Mcleod, grabbed the
man by the collar knocked him down on
the sidewalk thumped the bricks with the
mans head, and would probably have
fatally injured the stranger but for stereo-
typer of the STAR.
At this point Officer Sullivan and two
others arrived, and when Mcleod was
pointed out to them as the assauting party
they coolly looked on and let him go out
by the back door. Then after parlcy they
took the wounded man under arrest and
locked him up. These brave officers should
be looked after by the Police Commissioners
in their meeting this afternoon.
