THE assertion that "Governor Hill is
able to hold his own with anyone who
comes in contact with him" is made by his
personal organ. the Albany Times. No
doubt has ever been expressed on this point,
indeed the anxiety of the Governors critics
has not been occasioned by any question as
to his ability to held his own, but by the
fear that he may hold someone else's in

THE window glass workers seem to
recognize pretty clearly the fact thar when
there is work in their line which there are
not enough workers in this country to do,
the demand can only be met by foreign
workmen. But is not the admitted fact q
somewhat severe commentary on the rules
of apprenticeship which have prevented the
youth of this land from learning that trade,
and thus resulted in giving the work to
foreigners?

1t was first proposed after the floods of the

would have saved the expenditure which

it is better tale than sewer.

THE PERSIAN PAsHA.

o Badje Hassein Ghooly Khan,
Doesn't like the American plan,
Doesn't admire our funny man.
Wants to 20 as quick as be can
Back to where his long name began
The land OF the .ordly Persian.
For he couldn't so much as paper scan,
But found some joke on Ghooly Khan,
That quenched for hours his gay elan.
The jokes were harmless quite as bran,
But he thought malice only ran
In lines he'd chew like Yucatan.
His skin he thought too good to tan.
A little too nice for frying pan.
He's far too hot to be cooled by fan;
Swears he'll procure the Shah's big ban
For men and things American,
Does Hadje Hassein Ghooly Khan. II. J.

An Old Time Auctioneer.

John II. Draper is, by the way, one

the witty auctioneers of the generation
gone before us. When he perches
himself in his armchair, ford and
handsome, and with his fine flexible
voice commences to do business, you
may be sure that the fun will soon be-

and repartee for every occasion. A

was knocked down for Sl25. There"

walking in a sunlit garden, was put

described as a good ''all the week pic

them off with the valedictory, God

Diamond Cut Diamond,

After Sir w. Strickland's horse had
been short time at Newmarket,
Frampton's groom, with the knowl-
edge of his master, endeavored to IN
duce the baronet's groom to have a
private trial at the weights and dis
lance of the match, and thus to make
the race safe. Sir Williams man had
the honesty to inform his master of
the proposal, when he ordered him to
accept it, but to be sure to deceive the
other by putting seven pounds more
weight in hestuffing of hisown saddle.
Frampton's groom had already done
the same thing; and in the trial Mer-
lin, Sir Williams horse, beat his op-
ponent about length. Now" said
Frampton to his satellite, ''my'fortune
is made, and so is yours; if our horse
can run SO near Merlin with seven
pounds extra, what will he do in the
racer" The betting was immense. The
south country turtles, who had been
let into the secret by Frampton, told
those from the north that they would
bet them gold against Merlin while
gold they had, and then they might
sell their land" Both horses came
well to the post. and of course the race
came Off like the trial.-The Horse

A reader of the lyric poetry of the
Ellzabethan age is struck with its
adaptation to music, its limpidity and
directness of utterance.
Each composition" says Mr.. J. A.
Symonds, in The Fortnightly Re
view, lis meant to be sung, and can
be sung, because the poets soul was
singing when he made it."
The lyrics of the present age possess
but little of this quality. Mr.. Sy-
monds once asked Jennie Lind why
Shelley's lyrics were i'll adapted to
to music. She made him read aloud
to her the Song of Pan" and ITO the
Night" Then she pointed out that
verse is full of complicated thoughts,
and packed consonants. Not one
melodic phrase could be found to ex-
press the poetic emotion.
Il can sing Millions
let the bright seraphim in burning row,
Their loud, upifted angel trumpets blown
said Jenny Lind, land can sing Dry
den, but could not sing your Shelley,
ordsworth, Keats no, and not much
Tennyson either. Tennyson has
sought out all the solid sharp words,
and put them together; music cannot
come between"
The lyrics of the present time, Sc
Mr.. Symonds sums up the facts, are
not so singable us the Elizabethan ly-
RIGS because they are far more complex
in their verbal structure, in their
thoughts, images and emotions. Theil
words carry too many, too various,
and too contemplative suggestions

Everybody who visits the Grand
Pacific with any amount of frequency
has made the acquaintance of Pat
Aaron. Pat has lately developed a
faculty for story telling, and has been
for some time past trying to make his
customers believe he has seen oysters
climb trees. Finding this yarn too
large, he has one now of modified
character. Patsays when he was down
in New Orleans he saw mule working
on a street car line that had in great
degree what might be considered genu-
was known all through the Crescent
City by the name of Stonewall Jack
son, and when hitched up to his car in
the morning would not move until the
barn gong sounded the hour of leav-
ing, no matter how anxious the con-
ductor or the driver might be to get
minute or two the start for some pur-
pose of his own. Pat says that one
morning the mule was brought up to
be hitched to a strange car.
The instant Stonewall saw the car
he backed stubbornly away, and no
urging would induce him to get in his
place. AT last he was led around to
the repair shops and shown his car on
which the painters had begun work,
and he at once seemed to realize the
difficulty, for he went back and will
ingly took his place beside his mate
and drew the strange car all day.
The next morning, though, the same
trouble ensued, and he had to be shown
that his own car was not ready. Where
Stonewall showed the greatest intelli-
gence, Pat says, was stopping appar-
emily without reason while on a trip.
He did this one day when an extra
conductor was in charge. The con-
ductor came forward after minute or
two to see what the trouble was. The
driver knew well, and told the extra
that he had collected fare and had
not rung his bell punch. AT this the
conductor did ring, and old Stonewall
Jackson shook his head as much as to
say, you can't fool me, and started
off on trip without word from the
driver.-Chicago Herald
