THE MOST GlFTED OF MoRTAls
Is the Man Who Knows How to Get
Along with Everybody.

The dazzling genius may startle
and amaze mankind by his divinely
gifted endowments, but the man
who knows how to get along with
people is apt to reach the heights,
while the dazzling genius, like an
eagle with broken wing, is Aoun~
dering in the valley below.
Put the dazzling genius and the
man who knows how to get along
with the people side by side on the
race track of life, and then let them
start abreast. The dazzling genius
will excite the curiosity Of the crowd
by the brilliancy of his giration and
his involved and intricate evolu-
tions. He will leap like an un-
broken colt, and prance like two
year-old filly, but the man who
knows how to get along with pco-
pie will come swinging down the
home-stretch, and pass the judges
stand, with his brilliant but erratic
competitor far in the rear.
The faculty of getting along with
people is, perhaps, the most fortu-
nate gift with which nature can en-
dow man. The whole secret con-
sists in liking people and taking an
interest in them. SO many men
are armed with dislikes, like poreu-
pine quilts, which they shoot in all
directions, letting them strike eWhere
they will. They are like those piv-
otal guns which we see in the navy,
which turn on a swivel and shoot
toward every point of the compass.
They keep their batteries loaded,
and every man who approaches
them they regard as an invader and
an envy. They scrutinize their ac-
quaintances as proof-reader ex-
amines his proof, to see what errors
he can discover. Their lives are
perpetual quest for the vices of
their neighbors. They never get
along with people, for people OBJ
ject to having perpetual inven-
tory taken of their faults and weak
nesses.
Opticians tell US there is one lit
tie spot in the eye that is entirely
blind. The mental eye Of the man
who knows how to get along with
people has large spot that is blind
TO all his neighbors', while his Wis.,
ion is unusually keen in regard to
their good qualities. Everybody
likes him because he is good to ey-
erybody. No wonder he climbs
high in the world, for everybody
stands ready to give him "boost." "

PLEASE WAIT FOR ME-

It was 8 o'clock in the afternoon,
and the school-houses poured out
thousands of little girls. They were
all identically alike in one respect.
Every one of them stopped at least
twice in every block to pull up her
stockings. It was strange and in
teresting to see how this was done;
how little girls who were running
would suddenly throw up one knee,
clutch at it, and yet keep on rum
ming; how sedate little girls stepped
to one side Of the rush of travel,
either to the curb or store windows,
to pull up their hosiery; how even
as they stood talking to one anoth-
er, or when two little girls met, each
would simultaneously dive at their
knees with one hand, and without
interrupting their childish prattle.
A man and woman were watching
one bevy of these little girls.
There is more lost energy in that
constant trick Of the little girls than
would serve to dam Niagara Falls,
said the man. "Can you explain
why all little girls do that?'
"There is no reason" said the
woman, except very singular one
that illustrates the way of mankind.
The little girls have always had to
pull up their stockings ~every two
minutes. They do not know there
is any help for it. The mothers who
know how to help it are not con-
cerned, stince their own stockings
stay up. They put elastic garters
on the little girls, though elastic
soon stretches, and the little girls
legs are not shaped SO as to make
garters of any use. The mother
uses straps fastened to their stays
and never give their stockings a
thought, but the little girls have no
stays to pin such straps to: So L
suppose the only thing left is for
little girls to grow up as quickly as
possible and be women and forge!

She's a Travelling Barroom.

Brockton is said to have new
travelling saloon, where pocket sell
ing" is not exactly the term to apply.
The saloon is a big woman, who
wears rubber belt around her,
waist. filled with pockets, in which
are whisky and rum. When she
sees customer she simply raises
her jersey, turns stopcock IN a
flexible tube, and permits The liquor
to run in tin cup, which she car
ries in her pocket. The customer
drinks, pays.;' she smooths down
her Jersey, puts the cup in her
pocket, and hunts up another Gus

themselves after disaruing the sol
diers. OF course they were detected
in their plot, and were duly SEN
fenced to be f1ogged, under the In
Fiction of which some died. This
is what took place in one instance.
"We marched to Tongabbee,
where all the government transports
were kept, who were called out to
witness the punishment of the pris-
oners. One man was sentenced to
receive three hundred lashes, and
the method of punishment was such
as to make it most effectual. The
unfortunate man had his arms ex-
tended around a tree, so that finch
ing from the blow was out of the
question, for it was impossible for
him to stir. Two men were ap-
pointed to aog-namely: Richard
Rice, a left-handed man, and John
johnson, the hangman' from Sgd
ney"-one wonders how on earth
they spared him-"who was right
handed. They stood on each side,
and | never saw two threshers in a
barn move their fails with more
regularity than these two mankill-
ers did, unmoved by pity, and rather
enjoying their horrid employment
than otherwise. The very first
blows made the blood spout out
from the mans shoulders, and /
felt so disgusted and Mortified that
| turned my face away from the
cruel sight. I could only compare
these wretches to a pack of hounds
at the death of a hare; or tigers
that torment their victims before
they put them to DEATH"

That we cannot do better than con-
tinue the extract. 81 have witnessed

TEMPERANCE people are awaiting
with anxiety to know what stand
will be taken by the new occupants
of the White House as to the use
of liquors on public occasions. The
use of wines may be prohibited at
the private table of the President,
but it is not probable that he viii
dictate as to the propriety of their
use at State dinners. One custom
has been observed in President
Harrison's family ever since his
marriage, and that is, family prayers
in the morning and evening. And
it is said that neither the President
nor his wife have any intention OF
omitting this regular observance in
the executive mansion.

The Initiative Chinamau,

Senator Stewart of Nevada does
not believe in the theory that a Chi
naman can progress, although he
may be Americanized in most par
ticulars. The other day he was tell
ing about some of his strange ex-
periences when he said "When we
got our first Chinaman to cook he
didn't know blessed thing about
the kitchen, and it became neces-
sary for Mrs. Stewart to go down
and show him how to do everything.
When you demonstrate in an ocular
way how things should be done
John never forgets. He is very inn.
pressionable. Mrs. Stewart showed
him how to make biscuits. After
she rolled the dough she took q
cutter and began to cut out the bis
cults. When the whole roll was
done there was a triangular piece
left, and of this she made a half
moon, which is customary. | didn't
know anything about it at the time,
but at the end Of three or four
months discovered that every day
when our biscuits were served there
was half moon among the lot.
At the end of a year made inquiry
of Mrs. Stewart. and she went into
the kitchen and watched the Chi
naman each time he cut his bis
cults, and she discovered that he
always made half moon and
would spoil four or fve biscuits to
do 30. He thought It was as nee
essary as the salt or the shortening. !"

TIE TALKING MACHINE.

There is one noticeable feature
in the political evolution of State.
Young men always come to the
front in young States. The older
the State, as a rule, the older the
men she sends to the front and to
Washington. Take Colorado; the
Centennial State conventions have
no baldhead row in either party.
Senator Ed Walcott is one of the
specimen youngsters. His brother
Henry is equally smart and brainy.
and it is among the possibilities that
there will be two Walcotts in the
Senate before many years roll by
The Democratic young brave is
Tom Patterson who made good
run for Governor last fall. He would
have been several thousand votes
stronger if it had not been presi-
Dental year, but the miners who
dig out silver dig out considerable
lead with it, and they were worried
over the democratic views on lead.
The democrats had lead on their
heels and wool over their eyes last
November. Mr.. Patterson is regis
tered at Wizards. He will make
big white mark in Colorado some
day, no matter what her politics
are now.
But it is no disparagenent to
that other fine representative of
Colorado, ex-senator Bowen, to
speak of young men, and though
his hair is gray his heart is as young
and thumps as big and vigorously
as ever. The Senator still clings to
that custom dear to the Forty-niner.
He carries his Doodle in belt. A
pocketbook is of no use except for
papers, and a memorandum book.
The memorandum part he uses
to keep tab on a search which he
has been making for years. He
has a theory that everything runs
in cycles, and that the cycle is de-
termined by a certain number which
we will call Il. This number is what
he has been seeking. He has mar
rowed it down to somewhere be-
tween $500 and 52,75O. 1t is his
opinion that all hands at cards will
be repeated within that limit; that
in fact, everything is repeated in
that number of years, Or in some
multiple Of that number. He be-
lieves that he will come back to the
Senate on one of those multiples.
There is one man in such num-
Der who will resemble himself in
some marked degree, and for this
man he is making an extra search.
One Of these days he expects to
find a living twin, a perfect Dromio
to himself. When he does he will
stop his tally. But to return to the
belt. The one he wears is made of
the softest doeskin, tanned by the
Indians and chewed by Indian
squaws until it is as pliable as a
piece of tissue paper, yet as tough
as trace leather. It had five or six
compartments, all we'll lined with
greenbacks. He carries very little
gold or silver, just one or two lucky
piecs-a silver 5O-cent piece coined
the year he wss born, which he has
carried for over thirty years, and a
California gold slug worth about
$50, such as used to be shovad over
the counter of the bank Of ,Caifor-
MIA in the early SOS. The Senator
wears this belt under his vest and
Just inside the band of his trousers.

Switched on to the Wrong Wire.

ooh, yes Well, what is it?" "Well,
Doctor, my wife is suffering most
excruciating pains; seems to have
cholera morbus or something of the
kind. You will be up soon, you
say? Well, Doctor, could you sug-
gest some temporary relief 2" (At
this juncture Mr.. Green was switch

state, she is certainly full of mud,
and doubtless she has got lot of
rust on her. In fact, she is too old
at any rate, it's my opinion. She
is entirely played out. The only
remedy l offer, under the circum-
stances, would be to blow her out
and whack her on the sides with
a hammer, to loosen up matters in
general. Then fill her up, and if she
amt all right by tomorrow, | would
cast her aside and get new one. I"

WHEN they call a man Judge in
Georgia you never know whether
he is a blacksmith or the proprie-
tor of milk route. So we don't
pretend to say what Judge w. II.
Murray's business is; bat we hear
that he has brought suit at Augusta
against the Georgia Railroad Com
pany for the recovery of ten cents
which he claims the company
charged him as storage on a bottle
of whisky left in the freight house
for. a longer time than than the
seventy-two hours which the rules
of the company declare to be the
limit of time that goods will be kept
in store free of charge. There are
some extraordinary, not to say mar
velous features about the case.
Why Georgia man-especially a
Georgia man whom they call Judge
should leave q bottle of whisky
in q freight house for more than
seventy-two hours is one Of the
things that will have to be made
clear before we can return an nnbl-
ased verdict. Of course we can un.
derstand why a Georgia Judge, il
he were going out in the society Of
other Georgia -1udges, might, fol
reasons of eoonemy, deem 1t best
not to take his bottle with him.
But even in snoh a situation he
might have tucked 1t under the cor.
ner Of the freight house and kicked
some dust over It, and sApod al

the storage charges. Wash. Post

In modern usage, especially newspaper
usage, the phrase amende honorable agnifes
q manly apology and acknowledgement Of a
fault, accompanied by such reparation as
may DO needed. But historically the arnende
honorable was q very different affair. 1t
was IN fact disgracefta punishment, In
Aicted for the most part on offenders against
