Beating Two-Forty.

One evening when Lucy's Papa had
come home from the Office and eaten his
supper he went into the Parlor and
Planted Himself on the sofa. After he
had been there a Little While he MOTTO
ed that Lucy did not come in and Make
a Break at the piano, as was her Gus
tom. This puzzled the Old Gentleman
greatly, but he was very Happy, be-
cause the parents of giIls who play the
piano usually feel like taking an Ak to
that Instrument But pretty soon Lucy
entered the Room and began telling her
Papa how much she loved him, and how
Dark and Cherries her life would be in
case he chould be Called Above.
This sort of talk made her Papa feel
rather solemn, for he had been to the
Races a good deal and would OCCASION
ally go Out With the BOYS, and when a
man gets on the Shady Side of so he
doesn't particularly care to have people
lug the Sweet By and By into their con-
versation. But pretty soon Lucy placed
her Lily-White Hand ON her Papa's
brow and began to smooth his hair, say
ing how glad it would make her if she
could only smooth the Burrows of Care
that true had placed there. Then she
artfully Shifted the Subject, and spoke
of how cold the weather was getting
and what lovely Sealskin Sacques she
had seen in the store windows down.
town that afteroon.
Then her Papa saw what she was up
to, and Dropped on Himself So by the
time Lucy got around to that part of
her talk where she put her arms
around his neck and kissed him, and
asked him to buy her Sealskin, he
had nearly Arranged His Lie. He told
her of how poor the Crops had been, and
that Trade was in very dull state be-
cause of the uncertainty as to what Of
fee Ben Butler would want next, and
Sung such a Song that Lucy began to
think she was lucky to have place to
sleep in and pair of Heavy Shoes for
the winter.
''No, my child" he said, 81 cannot
think of spending Three Hundred Dol
lars for Sealskin Sacque, when times
are so Hard"-and Lucy said that she
was sorry she had mentioned the Subject,
and went away feeling quite sorry for
her Papa.
Soon after she had left the room her
Big Brother came in. 81 saw that Horse
you were talking about" he said to his
Papa.
'.Did you?" asked the Old Gentle
man. ''How Fast can he go?'
''Two-thirty," replied the Big Broth
er, and thousand dollars win buy
him"
Rising quickly from the sofa, Lucy's
Papa wrote a check and handed it TO
his Son. $50 and close the Trade to-
night" he said, ''and tomorrow after
noon 1 will make some of these people

Indian and Partisan Nabobs,


Albert Wolff, in the Figaro, says that
all popular conceptions of Indian ma
hobs are simply absurd, and that any
Indian nabob would soon be ''fat
broke in Paris, should he attempt to
live in high style there. Indeed, per-
haps, the most extravaganza dream ever
invented by Theophile Gautier, was
Fortunio-that novelette, In which we
find an Indian nabob realizing the lux
ury of the Arabian Nights in Paris.
Albert Wolff says:
''Where an Indian nabob would give
his wife a mother-of-pearl bracelet
worth fifteen francs, the Partisan nabob
gives his dear pet house worth be-
tween 200, 900 and 100000 francs. In
India a pretty little woman nourishes
herself with poetry; it is enough to call
her Star of Heaven or MY sweet lit
tie white elephant to make her so con-
tent that she viii not think of asking
for anything more. Suppose, however,
that beautiful girl with languishing
eyes, says to real Indian nabob: My
own darling, it would be so nice of you
to set me up in housekeeping then,
what does the nabob do? He commands
twenty slaves, who earn on an average
three sous day, to plant four posts in
the ground, unite each to the other with
partition walls of palm bark, and spread
few mats upon the floor. Then the
little house is finished. If the Indian
nabob be extravagantly generous, he
may perhaps hang a bird-cage to the
eeii.ng-which birs-cage represents the
very greatness of liberality Sometimes
the nabob may give a woman diamonds
of great value; but then he has always
the right TO take them back sgain when
he gets tired of her. But when the
Partisan beauty finds nabob to set her
up in the world. the first outlay repre-
sents 1900. 900 francs $500, o0O). Then
the cost of a country home for the sum-
mer, 1000 francs day for domestic ex-
penses, $780, 900 francs year for the
dressmaker, 5000 francs month for
the milliner, not to speak of other
thinos.n

Lord Duherin comes out of the tror

Lord Duiferin comes out of the trou-
bles incident to Arabi's rebellion with
honors almost equal to Sir Garnet
Wolseley's. He kept the Turks out of
Egypt and prevented the execution of
the commission given to the Sultan
without offending the powers. In fact,
Lord Dufferin is an English diplomat
who succeeds in diplomacy-a thing
which happens rarely enough to be
worthy of comment when it does occur.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT 1T.

Ness. Robinson q Hiarichs:-We take
this means of attesting our high opinion
of Hinrichs' american Corn Cure. Our
opinion of its value in removing Cor1as
and Warts is based on the tact that we
have used it and have found that 1t viii
do just what you claim for it. As cure
for Coy7as and Warts it is deserving of
the highest praise, and we take pleasure
in recommending 1t to all who are aff1ics-
ed, knowing that it will effect a cure in
every instance.

90 down at sea

While heaven Is all tranquility.
An interesting Illustration of this fact is
afforded by q recent auction sale at
Paris, when $4,000 shares in the Credit
de France, the owners of which after
paying first installment of 250 francs,
plus the premium, had declined to meet
the second call of $50 francs. The
shares, on which nearly 50, 100000 had
been paid, were put up at franc q
piece, but no one would touch them.
Finally one daring speculator bid half a
franc per thousand shares for the lot,
and this was advanced till the 1909
shares were sold en6loc for AZ francs
say s. 40. Somebody is 100000
francs poorer-and richer-by the tran
saction, which is quite worthy of that
enterprising country, where, when a
broker declined to fill his customers
order for 100 shares of particular stock
on the ground that the company was a
swindle, the customer instantly tele-
graphed: Thanks for your caution.
Since it is swindle, but so shares

Fruit growers in Florida have made
valuable discovery. Dry sand is the
best packing for oranges and lemons.
1t must be quite dry. and no paper
used. The fruit must touch the sand.
Experience warrants keepiEg for five
months, at least. The dry sand has ab-
sorbing power that apparently takes up
all exudations subject to decomposi-
ton. the rind being very porous. Nat
urally the thoughtful mind suggests
that, on the same principle, dry sand
must have similar preservatiye effect on
other fruits, such as pears. plums, nee
tarines, apples and other smooth-skinned
varieties.

Speculation in France.

People always hear much of the
launching of mammoth bubble compa-
MES and banks in France, and when
ever the enterprises explode after the
fashion of the Union Generate there is
no lack OF publicity as to their fate. But
it is extremely doubtful whether the
French investor, in whose composition
economy is SO happily supplemented by
credulity, loses as much in the kr0chs
which happen from time to time as he
does by the slow and almost unnoticed
laundering OF minor financial argosies,

THE NEW YORK SUN.

More people have read The SUN during the year
just now passing than ever before since 1t was
printed. No other newspaper published on this
side of the earth has been bought and read in any
year By so many men and women.
We crcGi6iy informed that people buy, read
and liKe iHE Sun fer the following reasons,
among others:
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy
whatever has interest for humaIl kind; the events
the deeds and misdoeds, tie wisdom he philos
oPhy. the notable folly, the solid sense, the i'm
proving nonsense-al the news of the busiest
at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concerning parsons and affairs THE SUS makes u
practice of telling them the exact truth TO the
nest OF its ability three hundred and siXty-fiye
days in the year, before election as well as after,
about the whales as well as about the small fish,
in the face OF dissent plainly ana fearlessly
when supported by general approval. The sun
has absolutely no purposes TO serve, save the in
formation OF lis readers and the fnrthtrance OF
the common good.
Because it is everybody's newspaper No man
is so humble that THE Sun Is Indifferent to his
welfare and his rights No i rich that IL
cali allow injustice T. be done him. No man. no
association oi men, Is powerful enough to DC ex-
empt from the strict application OF its principles
OF right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for 4 dozen
years, without interIaission and sometimes al
most alone among DeTspapers, the night has re-
suited in the recent uyerSv heltnlnE popular YER
dict against Robesonism and for honest govern
mept No matter what party is in power, TIE
FOX the interests of the people against the am BIZ
tion of bosses. the encroaehments of monopolists
and the dishonest schemes OF public robbers.
All this il what are lolu almost daily by our
friends One man holds that TIE SUN is the best
religious newspaper ever published, because It's
christianity is undiluted with cant. Another
holds that ii is the best Republican newspaper
printed. because il has already whipped half OF
the rascals out of that party. and Is proceeding
against the ether half with undimiuiehed Vigor-
4 third believes il to be the best magazine OF
general literature in existence, because its read
els miss nothing worthy of notice that l. current
in the world oil thought. SO every friend OF THE

with particular force to bis ihdiyidusl king.
