He is a native of Sonth Carolina, an d

years. A correspondent of The
Paducah Sentinel has discovered the
reason for the old gentleman's early

her his hand aud heart in marriage.
She accepted it, and soon he was made
to believe that ere long he would enjoy
the realization of his happy dreams.
But, alas! All is not gold that gilt

decided that her love for Mr.. Davis

Mr.. Joseph Jefferson is responsible
for the latest explation of the word
chestnut" He attributes the introduce
ton of the word In its slang sense to Mr..
William Warren the veteran comedian
of Boston.
'There is melodrama," Mr.. Jefter-
son said to Press reporter, ''but little
known to the present generation, writ
ten by William Dillon and called The
Broken Sword There were two char
acters, in it, one Captain Zav'er,' and
the other the comedy part of Pablo.
The Captain is sort of Baron Mum
chausen, and in telling of his exploits
says: 4 entered the woods of Galloway,
when suddenly from the thick boughs

with the words: "A chestnut, Captain;

"A chestnut reiterates Pablo. I

Liam Warren, who has often played the
part of Pablo, was at stag dinner two
years ago when one of the gentlemen
present told story of doubtful age and
originality. Chestnut, murmured Mr..
Warren, quoting from the play, 4 have

The application of the lines pleased the
rest of the table, and when the party
broke up each helped to spread the story

The Right to His.

Perhaps the most interesting of the
papers read at the annual meeting of the
five academies which collectively form
the French institute was M. Desjardins'
on the right of dissatisfied play goers to
hiss the performance.
Subject as he is to occasional unfiat-
tering manifestations on the part of the
audience, the modern actor is never ex-
posed, M. Desjardins pointed out, to the
serious bodily risks which his predeces-
sor in ancient times had sometimes to
face. The interpreters of the 'Bellero-
phon" of Euripides narrowly escaped
being stoned to death by the indignant
spectators at the premiere of that I'M
popular piece. Even in France stones
were flung at the actors who failed to
please as late as 1896.
It was in 1886, at the performance of 8
play of Thomas Comedies, that kissing
was first heard. The lieutenant of po-
lice, who was no friend to half measures,
forbade the sifiet under the pain of death
in 1872, but Louis XIV quashed the dra-
comic ordonnance.
A law was passed in 1881 prohibiting
any demonstration of whatever sort cal
culated to ''prevent the spectators from
seeing or hearing the piece announced, I"
but, as interpreted by the French judges,
the enactment does not interfere with
the traditional privilege of the play goer
to sitter what he does not like, as well
as to applaud what he does.-[St. James
Gazette.

why n Cuban Lost S700 on Two
Good Hands.
Last evening there entered well
known poker club uptown a large,
rural-looking man of the sort ordinar-
lily termed pie by expert manipula-
tors of cards. Around the principal
table sat five Cuban gamblers and one
blonde Yankee. The large, rural man
took hand in and the game went
smoothly on for an hour or so. when
there was jack pot. Everybody pass
ed out until it came the turn of the
stranger to speak. He opened the pot
for the limit, which was $5. Two
others staid in. until it finally came the
turn of the Cuban PLAYER. who sat next
the rural man and who by passing in
timated that he couldn't open the pot.
This Cuban not only staid in but raised
the stranger back to the extent of the
limit The large, rural-looking man
consulted his hand and raised again.
The other players went out and the
Cuban aga raised to the limit The
rural man returned the compliment
and the pair of them kept rails ng each
other for several rounds. Finally the
time came for calling of cards. The
Cuban 'tstood pat'' and the rural
stranger drew two cards. Then they
began to bet Finally the Cuban ''call-

produced four sevens. The game
went for about half an hour. Then
there was another jackpot. The Cuban
passed. The stranger opened the pot.
The other people remained in. The
Cuban, who had passed, raised the
opener. The rural stranger raised
again. The other two people passed
out. The Cuban raised back and the
rural stranger ''went for him.
Finally after they had raised each
other dozen times, cards were dealt

once more the rural stranger drew two

credulous astonishment against his
own full hand the rural stranger laid
down the identical four sevens he had
held before. The Cuban glared at his
opponent for some mo-
ments, and then, throwing down his
hand, cashed in his few remaining
checks and dashed out of the establ sh-

Christmas Among the Esqui-



For the benefit of such Of our read
ers as have never spent winter in
Labrador, Alaska or other countries of
the far North, we will relate some in
teresting facts illustrative TO their
manner of keeping Christmas.
The winter residence of the esqui-
maux are made of blocks of solid snow
with thin sheets of ice for windows.
Thus the glazer in that country carries
his material for patching up windows
in an ice wagon.
Esquimaux children hang up their
sealskin socks Christmas Eve. They,
like our own little folks, appreciate a
pair of skates or sled, but in place of
candy they long for blubber. When a
young Esquimaux wakes up in the
morning and finds his stockings full of
blubber he is happy. If he doesn't
well he blubbers all the same.
Their Christmas dinner is q rare feast
for them. 1t consists of chunk of
raw whale with sauce of rose-colored
hair-oil. washed down with fagon of
seals blood. Tallow candles with dip
are served as dessert. Te1as Siftings.

Needs of the Piedmont Region.

N00uS VI IIlS Z I0OlIlOuL IboS1Ou.
The section of country known as the
Piedmont Region of the South Atlantic
States. embracing large portions of
Virgin a, North and South Carolina
and Georgia, has many possibilities un-
der the new order bound to prevail in
that section upon the division of the
land into small farms. and the adoption
of a system of mixed lmsbandry.
The need of this section is popula-
ton. From any point of observation,
the eye can sweep the country for
miles, and the whole undulating sur
face looks one vast forest the proper
tion of cleared land being so small. and
that so scattered about the plantations,
that at a distance they are lost to view.
1t is no wonder that the tendency is so
general for the farmers to move into
town and run their farms by tenants.
Before the war they were able to keep
up large establishments. entertain
guests royalty, and with retinue of
servants, bid defiance to neighbors or
the offices of neighborhood. Now with
the change. the country must either be
settled up by farmers who will combine
in making up nelghborhoods. and es-
tablish the social bonds of society, or
the plantations will become estates
managed by owners. or corporations
with system of tenantry as odious
and demoraliz ng as that of Ireland.
Lands that produce so generously
will not be allowed to be idle, and eth
err small farms and prosperity, or large
estates and grinding monopoly. will
prevail.-AmericG Agricutturist.

CHRISTMAS on the Plantation.

"Bang. snap. fzz. bangr When
first I opened my eyes in the gray De-
cember dawn. almost believed it to be
the Fourth of July, for surely it could
be naught but firecrackers that were
thus noisily saluting my ears But as
the cobwebs of sleep passed upon my
brain, / quickly recalled that this was
my first Christmas in the Sunny
South" and that had been told that
in some places it was custom of the
light-hearted Africans to welcome the
happy day with the gay and festive
Chinese crackers.
With considerably curiosity, then. l
sprang from my couch and hurried to
the window. to gaze down upon the
courtyard below, where dozens OF
black and shining little "pickaninnies"
were squabbling and tumbling oyer
each other in perfect frenzy of delight,
and occasionally being brought to order
by well-aimed cuff from some fat,
good-natured "Mammie," who, how
ever, seemed to enjoy the small fire.
works as much as the youngest choco-
late hued shaver there. Suddenly the
master appeared bowling and smiling
upon the broad veranda, when in an
instant arose such n chorus of "Cris'-
mus gif, massa, Cris'mus gif!' as
speedily brought q shower of small
coins scattering among the crowd.
Then what frantic scrambling ensued,
while for two hours later, the mistress
of the household had her hands full,
giving out extra rations of butter. su-
gar. tea and tobacco, to say nothing of
bandannas. aprons. ribbons. and large
gilt pins and earrings. for the young

was one of feasting and jollifcation,
the men, boys and dogs indulging
in that rarest of sports to the true
African. an exciting "'possum hunt"
while in the evening, the negro quarter

and in the end Maum Chloe proudly

wore death-lke look on her face"
two peculiarities which the company
evidently considered the height of grace
and beauty. Certainly she was ''sight

gllttering beads and earrings; which |
semi-barbaric splendor we'll accorded

sad grace" with due solemnity the
little hostess turned TO her guest and
asked: "Does your papa say grace at
supper Katie?" No" replied Katie,
with candor, "but he says something
else" This answer, of course. aroused
the interest of the elder persons.

woman,s Pay In Mexico.

According to the SANTANA Mercantil of
Mexico, wages of working women are
pitifully small. They are not eligible
to work in shops or places behind the
counter in stores. Except for domestic
services few avenues are open to them.
If woman owns a sewing machine she
can secure employment at making shirts
at $125 per dozen. She must furnish
thread. She can then earn about so
cents day, says the Mercantil.
In respect to cigarette makers, their
task is 500 cigarettes daily at cents
per 100. There are few among them
who can make $500 cigarettes in one
day. The great majority cannot roll
more than 1900 to 1900 cigarettes, and
therefore make but 80 to 50 cents daily.
The matchmakers get cents gross
for filed boxes. They cannot turn out
more than fifteen or twenty gross, let
them work as hard as they may, and
therefore get but 80 to 40 cents for a
days labor.
The above are but the only employ
ments open in the city for laboring
girls.
Fortunately the poorer classes in
Mexico live with extreme frugality, but
at that the wages of women are at star
walton rates. It is to be hoped
that in most cases they have masculine
protection and support Brooklyn
