Two trucks, one driven by a long man
and the other by a short one, met in Maiden
lane, There was n third truck by the curb.
The street is narrow and there was not
room to pass. "Tve got the right of way
here" shouted the short driver.
YOU'RE a liar" shouted the long man.
pm going up hill, and I've got the right
of way myself"
1--WE got a load on my truck, - the short
man retorted.
The long man said he didn't care. Each
refused to back his team and let the other
pass. They argued for five minutes, and
then the short man got off his truck, took
off his coat and rolled up his sleeves. The
long man jumped off his truck, too, and
made the same preparations. Neither
spoke a word. The short man walked up
to the long man and biffGd him on the ear
The long man responded with a hot blow
ON the mouth. Then they went at each
other-bih, bang, smash. The short mans
lip was cut open. the long mans nose was
bleeding and his ear was swelled. AT the
end of two minutes the short mans right
eye began to swell up and one cheek pulled
ont. In another minute the short man
held his hands up above his head and said;
1--WE had enough"
These were the first words spoken after
the men had got off the trucks. The long
man dropped his hands. The little man
pulled down his shirt sleeves, put on his
coat and got on his truck. Then he backed
his team with his loaded truck out of the
way. The long maj drove ahead without
a word, and the crowd that had watched
the fight cheered the short mar for know
ing he had enough.-New York Sun.

The American Girl.
From London Punch.

She 'guesses" and she Calculates" she wears
all sorts of collars,
Her yellow hair is not without suspicion of a
dye;
Her papa" is dull old man who turned pork
into dollars,
But every one admits that she's Individually
spry.
She did Rome In a swift two days, gave half the
time to Venice,
But VOWS that she saw everything although
in awful haste;
She's fond of dancing but she seems to fight
shy of lawn tennis,
Because it might endanger the proportions of
her waist.
Her manner might be well defined as elegantly
skittish;
She loves a lord as only a republican can
And quite best of titles she's persuaded are the
British,
And we'll she knows the peerage, for she reads
it through and through.
She's bediamoned superbly and shines like a
constellation,
You scarce can see her fingers for the multi
tude of rings.
She's just shade too conscious, so it seems, of
admiration,
With irritating tendencies to wriggle when
she sings
She owns she is "Amurican,n and her accent is
alarming;
Her birthplace has an awful name you pray
you may forget;
Yet after all, we own La Belle Americana" is
charming,
So let us hope she'll win at last her long
sought coronet.

Politicians Are Not All Peculative

Politicians Are Not All Peculative
Sketching the character of Henry Clay in
his work on "Great Senators of the United
States" Author Oliver Dyer says that he
died poor because he was not lone of those
statesmen who, on a salary of s., 900 year,
manage to save up $3.50, 900 per annum."
Though that somewhat harsh estimate
may be and probably is quite correct in its
application to great many men who have
appeared in eminent stations of public life
in recent years it cannot fairly be said to
have a general application. That is at least
q consolation. Undoubtedly there are
some who contrive TO retire to the shades
of private life after giving their county the
suppositious benefit of their more or less
valuable services for the brief span Of one
or two congressional terms, carrying with
them snug competence ranging all the
way from 100000 to $5O0,0OO Happily for
the country, however, these men are the ex>
ceptions. Honest craftsmanship has not
been consigned to the dead embers of the
past
Many able public men have died lately
and left but little pecuniary evidence Of the
great talents with which they were popu-
larly accredited. Apparently they devoted
their greatest abilities to the affairs of the
country at the expense of the future COM
fort of their own families. That is carrying
the fault to the opposite extreme.
Still it is pleasure to know and be able
to point out men who have served their
country unselfishly, even though they had

honesty. 1t is a strange popularity of pub
lie life that the very ablest statesmen very
rarely make any SORT of adequate provision
for their own declining years or the futures
of their families.

men might find some satisfaction in refer

A Dry Dock Naedad

The article in the MORNING News a few
days ago pointing out the necessity for a
coaling station at this port has attracted
considerable attention. The communica-
tions received with regard to it show that
it has awakened interest in that matter
and also has suggested other enterprises.
correspondent. for instance, says that
a large dry dock is greatly needed, and that
Potato Point, the place suggested for q
coaling station, is an admirable location
for it.
Savannah has several marine railways,
one, at least, of which is capable of accom-
modating vessels of large size A large
dry dock is also needed. Prior to the war
there was a large dry dock here. 1t was
sunk in Freeborn's cut to obstruct the
river. 1t was regarded as a very valuable
property. 1t was certainly great benefit
to the commerce of this city.
Savannah at one time had also a sectional
dry dock, and at another time craving
dock on Hutchinson's Island. She was a
comparatively small town, however, when
she had these facilities for examining and
repairing the hulls of vessels. If such in
dustries were necessary and profitable then,
there is reason for thinking that they would
be much more profitable now, when the
city is a great deal larger and her COM
merce many times greater.
There is no doubt that dry dock here
would yield a handsome income on tn e
money invested il it. The question OF build
ng such dock is well worth the attention
