Royal Mint Juleps.

On the occasion of the visit of the Prince
of Wales to Richmond, Va, some years
ago, Jim Cook, famous concoctor
of drinks, made the Prince the first
mint Julep his Royal Highness ever
tasted, which SO pleased him that he used
the now historic expression, "Give me an
other glass of that stuff with grass and straw
in it." He also showed his delight by CIV
ing the barkeeper $50 gold piece, the high
est price known to have been paid for a
julep. The big julep cup from
which the Prince drank has been pre-
served with almost religious care in
the hotel, but Tuesday it was taken from
under lock and key and sent to the Marquis
of Lorne with the first mint julep in it since
its ring was pressed by the lips of the Prince
Of Wales. 1t is not related by the chronicler
that Lorne called for another drink or gave
anybody $50 gold piece.

Mrs. Brewster Calls on Mrs. Dorsey.


WASHINGTON, Jan. u.-There was SEN
sation at 1903 X street the other afternoon,
when Attorney-General Brewster's yellow
wheeled carriage, with its two men in drab
coats and cockaded hats, and the two black
horses In dark blue blankets, embroidered
with the large coat of arms in colors, drew
up before the residence of ex-senator Dorsey.
The footman dismounted, took the cards
from Mrs. Brewster, who sat in
side, and ran up the terrace steps,
laying the cards on the butler's
silver tray when informed that "madame
was not receiving that afternoon" This
word was returned to the lady in The car
riage, and the equipage rolled off to another
doorway. The puzzled neighbors could
hardly believe the evidence of their senses
when they saw the Attorney-General' fam
lily calling on the Star-router's wife. The
indignant Mrs. Dorsey telephoned for the
lawyers, and presented the matter to coun-
sci before she should carry out any of her
plans of retort. The lawyers examined the
cards on both sides, held them to the light,
and submitted them to chemical tests with
out reaching a clear conclusion as to what
mistake or intention there could have been
In the matter, and there the puzzle stands.

Gently to blow up the building with gas.

Horrors of the Inauisition.

The ''inquisition" of olden time inflicted
horrible torments on its victims, such as
stretching them in all kinds of unreasonable
shapes and breaking their bones. But
these torments we're not much worse than
those which are experienced by people who
now suffer from m uscular rheumatism. Mr..
L. o. Morgan, of Syracuse, was martyr to
muscular rheumatism, but PERRY DAvIs's
PAIN KILLER made him we'll. Mention
this to your friend who is tortured with

How to Save Money.
[smyrna Times.

Ideas OF economy are manifested In
different ways, md to be economical is a
lesson that all poor people, or those who
think they are poor, have to learn. Thus,
the other day, man of Tho vicinity wanted
some bills printed. He came to this office and
got the price and a sample bill to prepare
his advertisement. Afterward, he be-
thought himself to go to Wilmington to
see if they could not be had cheaper. He
paid his fare $1.95, the same for bills of the
same size that he could have got them for
at home, and If he didn't live on cheese and
crackers, he was $3.50 out of pocket by
trying to economic a few cents. This
"penny wise and pound foolish" policy,
will apply likewise to those people who buy
their merchandise in the cities to the detri-
ment OF our home merchants and local
enterprise.
