E HEAD is LEVEL.

Belva Lockwood, in writing to a New
York paper on the definition Of men,
says " man is a comprehensive term en-
bracing women" Shake Belva shake.
You may be a little daft on politics and
the suffrage but your head is no gourd.
That's the kind of a " comprehensive term
we are and we are going to be more of a
comprehensive term hereafter than
ever. Some how there is something
about the " comprehensive term " business
that enthuses a man, and makes him will
ling to- contribute his service for nothing.
"Man is a comprehensive term embracing
woman" You can bet your hustle he is.
Belva. He can't help it. He is built
that way. He will embrace anything,
from an opportunity to a Washington
City debutante. And he doesn't deserve
any particular claim or credit. He does
it on the same principle that
"Dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God hath n ade them so.

NYE AND THE HOTEL CLERK.

"Ill tell you a story on Bill Nye," said
a gentleman just back from the east.
bill had arrived in New York from
the west, where he had gathered in
$1,000 royalty on some Of his alleged
work. A thousand dollars to Mr.. Nye
dOsen't go very far so, l am told He
began planning how he would get rid of
it in New York. He took his meals at
Delmonico's, and spent more money in
various ways, but it never occurred to him
to spend anything on his back. Nye is a
s~lovenly dresser. There came a time
when he had to go to bed. 1t was late
and he was tired. He found himself in
the vicinity of the Everett house and
walked in. He asked for a room. The
clerk replied that the house wss full.
Whether he did this because he suspected
him Of being a nihilist or tramp, or whether
the house was really full, I don't know.
Nye insisted. Haven't you anything at
all? l don't care much what it is so that
it has a bed in it, pleaded Nye.
"The clerk said there was one small
vacant room on the fifth floor.
Nye said that would do"
"The clerk, still suspicious, said the
elevator was not running.
"Nye said he didn't care for that. He
could climb.
"The clerk had one more show to turn
him out He sprung it: You will have
to pay in advance he said.
"Nye said that was all right, and was
told in reply to his question that the tariff
would be $3.50
"Nye reached for a roll and threw out
a 800 bill. The clerk stammered, seeing
that he had made the mistake so often
fatal in this country. Then he said he
had no change. Nye pulled back the
500 bill and threw out a $50. The clerk
managed to break that one, and as he did
so the lines of good nature expanded all
over his face and tickled the roots of his
hair: He had been entertaining an a, gel
unawares. Nye gazed at this auroral
display of humor on the clerks face and
said:
":You remind me of Clay
The display Of vanity and good nature
on the clerks front would have been
worth a g good price as an attraction ina
window at that moment"
"'Indeed, he said, Henry { lay ?"
"No,' replied Nye, Just the common
everyday, mean, yaller clay out of which
they make bowls and platters in a''country
pottery
And then he sought his COUCH
Chicago Times.

A MEDICINE.

Our live, wide-awake druggists, Lee,
Johnson & Co., has secured the agency of
the wonderful medicine known as Radam's
Microbe Killer. This medicine is entirely
new, but in the short time it has been
discovered it has created an immense stir
among the medical profession by the
wonderful cures it has made. Among
those most prominent was the case of
James Cavanaugh, Jr., who was cured of
leprosy after being isolated from the city
of New Orleans for three years. This
case alone was enough to bring the medi-
cine into great prominence, but 1t has
made a number Of other equally as re-
markable cures, for it has cured every
disease ever tried ID.
Agents are wanted. Address Radam's
Microbe Killer Company, Nashville, Tenn.

MARK TWAIN'S HOME.
= WGTSOn Mirror

An autograph hunter recently received
from Mark Twain the following vigorous
and pertinent reply to a request for his
a~utograph-the best of the joke being that
the letter was written and signed on the
typewriter: Il hope I shall not offend
you; I shall certainly say nothing with
the intention to offend you. [ must ex-
plain myself, however, and I will do it as
kindly as I can. What you ask me to do
l AN asked to do as often as one half
dozen times a week. Three hundred let
tiers a year! Cne's impulses is to freely
consent, but ones time and necessary oc-
cupation will not permit it. There is no
way but to decline in all cases, making no
exceptions, and I wish to call your atten-
ton to a thi e VIII ch has probably not
occurred to you, and that is this: That
DO man takes pleasure in exercising h S
trade as a pastime Writing is my trade,
and I exercise it only when I am obliged
to. You might make your request Of a
doctor, or a builder, or a sculptor, and
there would be no improperly n it, but
if you asked either of those for a speci-
men of his trade, his handiwork, he would
be justified in rising to a point of order.
1t would never be fair to ask a doctor for
one of his corpses to remember him by"

American Nile" All thu rich aIluvial
and such things as that have been borne
down the eastern slopes of the Rocky
mountains and spread over this fertile
plain. For six thousand years it was a
pasture for the buffalo, the deer and the
antelope, and while awaiting its destiny
as a great agricultural hotbed, it has been
watered by the dews of heaven and en-
riched by the decaying aristocracy Of the
Usage and Wichita Indians. The dust of
Preadamite man, watered by the tears of
the more modern and renaissance grass
hopper sufferer, has laid the foundation
for the granaries of the world and stimu-
lated the bright eyed prevaricator to do
honor to his State.
Emporia is a more quiet city, with
fewer reading notices than Wichita, but
a thriving business and good prospects.
Prohibition may still be found in Kan

Der of people who were just beginning to

HINTS TO H~oUsEKEEPERs.

A wash of equal parts of glycerine and
Tactic aid will remove moth and freckIes
from the face.
The mending of kid gloves shows far
less if done with cotton thread than it
does if done with silk.
The light in sleeping-rooms should
never fall directly on the Eyes, nor should
the room be either too dark or too light.
Kerosene poured on red flannel and
bound on the throat will greatly ease a
sore throat. 1t will also heal cuts and
cure chilblains.
Iron and polished steel, when not in
use, may be kept from rusting by Wiping
with a cloth on which a little kerosene
has been poured.
When one is fatigued and foot sore
from much walking, it is very refreshing
to battle the feet In warm water and rub
them with extract of arnica.
Rub black walnut furniture, or any
wood finished in oil, with cloth slightly
moistened with kerosene oil, to remove
scratches and restore polish.

The council of Hygiene in Paris, it is
said, is about to take step to suppress the
use of old magazines and newspapers for
wrapping up foods. The Austrian govern

and also of colored papers to enclose
articles intended to be eaten.
Grease spots, if old, may be removed

liceman called.
"Don't you see what l am doing?"
Eyes, l do"
Then way do you ask meY'
"You impudent rascal, I'll run you In"
The policeman got in the cab and ord
cred the fellow to drive to the Harrison
street station. The next morning the
ca0man was arraigned before court, and
when the Judge asked who had made the
arrest, Hennifn stepped forward and
said:
"Your honor, I saw this man whipping
his horse and [ arrested him."
And your honor" the cabman broke
in, 4 whipped him because ne kicked
me. There's not a man in this town that's
been kinder to a horse than I've been to
this one, and under the circumstances
had a right to whip him."
"That may be-" the judge answered,
but 1 am compelled to fine you, ever
though the amount be merely nominal.
will therefore assess your fine at fifty
cents."
"AI right" the cabman replied, and l
wish to present a bill for seventy-fve
cents against the city"
What for 2" the judge asked.
"For hauling this policeman to the sta
ton"
"Did he bring you in his cab ?" the
Judge asked of the policeman.
"Your honor, l arrested him, and in
stead of calling a patrol wagon I thought
the easiest way would be to have him
drive down here and"--
"Give him seventy five cents, said the
judge.
The cabman received the money, placed
fifty cents on the judges desk, put twenty
five cents in his own pocket, grinned at
