HOW THE LITERATI LAUGH.
Lowell, Twain, Cable and Others Enter
tanned by the Poet Riley.

Lowell, Twain, Cable and Others Enter
tanned by the Poet Riley.
One of the most amusing things, be-
sides hearing James Whitcomb Riley re-
cite, the other evening ut Chickering hall,
was to watch how the big literary lights
were affected by the inimitable 'Hoosier'
poet. James Russell Lowell, the Right
Rev. II. G. Potter, Mark Twain, DIR. Ed
ward Eggleston, r. H. Stoddard, H. c.
Bunner and George w. Gable all had read
or recited their pieces on the programme
when Mr.. Riley was announced. He came
forward with n luminous smile on hia
mobile, tovial face, buttoned up his Prince
Albert coat, looked at the highly intel
lectual audience, composed mostly OF
ladies, and said he would recite a poem
called, when the Frost is on the Pun
kim" just as the old farmer was supposed
TO have spoken. The laughter began as
soon as he repeated the first Line and con-
tinued until he finished.
Mr.. Lowell, as chairman nf the meet.
ing, tried 10 look rs calm and un1uoved ms
possible, but his companion, Bishop Pot
ter, could not repress hiB visibility and

Toward the last of the "Hoosier'i

Mr.. Lowell melted somewhat, md he put
his hand to his face and qnletly beamed
several ripples OF enjoyment from his half
closed eyes. Mr.. Riley's power to create
fun was not gauged when his name was
placed on the programme, or else these dis
tinguished lterati would have nave been
prepared, and not taken front seats on the
stage. Maj. Pond, who is somewhat of a
prophet, remarked carelessly before the
authors met that Riley would take the
beam easily. II the bear meant to
create the most amusement and delight
m audience as it had never been before,
he certainly deserved that richest and

To JUDGE from an Impertinent screed

American citizen no longer has the right
to accept an invitation to dinner extended

personal relations may be. OF course

the little sheet represents, social ameni-
ties are confined within narrow limits and
seldom extend beyond such interrogato.

sponses such as Gimme the same"
On the principle hat a ca: may look at a
king, people like the fellow of the little
evening paper may criticize a MAN OF the
caliber of Charles L. Blydenburgh, but
the mental agony of the overwprked Fool
Killer when he witnesses the sight must
be something terrific to behold.

81 have frequently been caught short
on the market and seen myself within an
ace of being ruined, - said a New street
broker to n reporter; ''but l was really
scared only once in my life, and that was
during my first day in the street. My
father got me n place in the office of an
old frierd of his, where l enjoyed the
full confidence of my employer. l a
been working only few hours when he
handed me ten crisp 800 bills and told
me to deposit them in an uptown bank.
l put the bills in my coat pocket until l
had finished writing up my books and
then took a n going up town. When
! entered the bank and put my hand
in my pocket the bills were gone.
l can't describe my feelings, for
the simple reason that l hadn't
any. / felt myself turned to stone.
Both in mind and body l was stupefied.
When 1 had collected myself a little 1
e out of the bank with the expressed
intention of throwing myself into the
river. L knew not where l went or what
i was doing, but 1 found hat l had re-
turned to the office.
The broker was out when / got back.
/ was too numb to be agitated, and no
n noticed there was anything the mat
ter with me as 1 put on my Office coat
and began porting over the set of books.
1t was not until 1 saw the broker coming
in the door that 1 began to fully realize
my position. 1 ran my hand wildly
through my hair in n vain attempt to
calm myself, and then absent mindedly
put it in my pocket. The first thing 1
felt was the roll of bills. l had changed
my coat and forgotten all about it. The
broker chided me for not going to the
bank, but he never knew why the money
wasn't deposited until the next day.

SECURING THE SEA COW.
A Brave Effort of Valiant Man In
Behalf of Sanitation,

From the Jacksonville (FIa.) Times Union.
Tuesday, as the hour for the cleansing of
the sea cow approached, hum of prepare
ton was heard, and the eyes of the specta-
tors were fixed upon the placid form of the
unsuspecting animal and her redoubtable
scrubber, Charlie Floyd, a gentleman of
color. AS IL o'clock was announced. Charlie
rolled up his shirt sleeves, slipped off his
shoes and stockings tucked up his neither
garments, and, shouldering a broom,
valiantly waded into the depths of Sub
Tropical Lake. Madam Manatee was
serenely sleeping, and, like most of his
fellows, Charlie thought discretion the
better part of valor," and cautiously ap-

the object of his attentions was within his
reach. Raising his scrubbing brush alott.
he brought it down the length of the sleep
ing females back with vigorous swipe,
calculated to remove everything except the
skin. But he did not have an opportunity
to admire his work, for Nine Manatee
awoke to the situation, and, as many OF the
male sex have done before her, she made a
mad rush from the offending broom. With
out stopping to take Eer bearings, she made
foundations of the fountains, with
which she collided, and churning up
such a sea in her wake that Charlie
could not keep his footing, and
tumbled head long into the lake and fioun-

minious and preciptate retreat. Having

A FLOURIsHING ALABAMA TOWN
1t is Becoming the Center of a Rich
Farming Region


OZARK, DALE COUNTY, Ala, Nav IA
The farming interest in this locality is on
boom. There never was more flattering
prospect at this season. Corn is fine and
cotton is an excellent stand. Cotton chop
ping is the order of the day. The oat crop
has been cut off little, but will yield, since
the rains, fair average. The farmers are
well up with their work.
Ii seasons continue there will be the
largest yield here for Years. Another fea-
ture that makes farmers feel good is that
they will not have to haul their cotton
forty miles to market this fall Ozark will
be the central market for forty miles
around, as it will have the CLAYTON exteo-
sion railroad completed to this ri ace by
June IS, and have the old C. X. 5 iron
horse TO toot in our town every day and re-
mind US we are in a land of progress and
enhghtment.
Ozark is filled with frst-cIass business
men with capital to back them. There are
several manufacturing establishments in
