A DISPATCH from Washington states
that the most disappointed man in the
cabinet is John Wansmaker. He told q
friend two weeks ago that even if Harri-
son should be renominated end reelected
there would be no second term for John
Wanamsker. He simply would not have
it. Wanamaker is now sorry he left his
bargain counter and his Sunday school.
Politics he has not found the paradise
which he had anticipated. He has a
number Of grievances, chief among them
being the manner in which he hes been
treated By the press. In his opinion the
press has treated him shamefully, has
Tidiculed and slsndered him, notwith-
standing the fact that he was for years,
and still is. one of the most ex,euFive adj
vertisers in the country. Then he has
failed to carry out most Of the ambitious
him. One by one his pet projects, like
postal telegrsphy, have gone BIZ the
board. Besides. be has quarrelled with
Quay, who rsde him, and at the same
time has convinced himself that he does
not know enough about politics TO stand
alone without the help Of somebody like
the Pennsylvania boss. Mr.. Wsnamsker
makes no conceslmeat OF his dissppolnts
meut end his regret that he ever en-
harLed n, tho trouhlous sea Of pnlifics
he says he intends 70 serve out his term,
but his ambition is dead, and were it not
the presidents wish that he remain in
Office he would resign tomorrow.

the world 10 be the toughest method of
travel known. The streets of Shreve-
port have no bottom, and, as in many
other southern cities, thousands of dol
lars worth of bricks, broken stone,
gravel and idiocy are piled on top of this
rapacious and hungry mud hole, only to
disappear in a month or so, and year
after year a hollow chested treasury
sobs upon the bosom of a tadpole in
tested street, while the commercial man,
the most dangerous advertiser in the
world, damns these wretched roads in
every city where he registers, and thus
little i'll directed energy damages the
fair fame of an excellent town.
The bus man showed me where one OF
his horses would have drowned on the
main street if they had not rescued him
as his head went under for the third
time.
Yesterday on board the train we en-
countered the fresh young man. He was
about nineteen and appeared to be talk
ing for publication. You have doubtless
seen the traveller who comes into car
and fills it with his presence, even as the
opening up of box or some precious
ointment of skunk's oil in a close room
makes you forget everything else but
the ointment. Well, this youth was
actually telling in all seriousness that
he had put up the night before at a
hotel where there was no comb or brush
in his room, and he had to go down to
the common wash room to comb his hair.
But he will grow up and get married
and have family of his own, and occa-
sionally, as he gets older, he will remem-
Der how he advertised his verdancy in a
public place, for he was really good
looking young fellow, and his cheeks
will burn in the still watches of the
night in years to come when he recalls
the fluff and bloom of his youth when
he lost control of the cork, and the fizz
and pop and gas Of his ferlnenting think
works escaped for an hour or so in a
crowded car.
There is something spicy and free and
reckless and thriving and unconstrained
and hospitable about Texas, though, that
captures me. If your soul is getting
corns on it from trying to turn around
in the wall pocket of a New York fiat,
and you feel yourself getting conven.
tional and pokey, and stiff and morbid,
and the moss is beginning to grow on
the north side of your soul, light out for
Texas-big, wide, breezy Texas, where
people know you on the cars and beg
your pardon if they step on your feet;
where the cactus welcomes TO its fuzzy
bosom the cultivated chappy in the thin
white flannel r,autias. NUhera tho tooth
some jelly of the chapparel berry is
spread thick upon the bread of industry,
and the mustang wine of the Alamo
martles in the beautiful, picked olive
complexion of the vaquero's daughter.

Good Authority.

There is n little circle of clever people in
town who have fallen into the habit among
themselves of using grammar that would
make the schoolmistress' hair stand on
end Finally after an outsider had heard
one of them say II done it, dozen times
or so in the course Of the evening. he ap-
preached the speaker. "Will you tell me. i"
he said, ''why yousay I done it, instead of
Il did it, 1t isn't good English, you
know"
"It's Shakespeare English" said the
other, "and that's enough for me-"
So the questioner went home and got out
his concordance and painfully labored
through it to find Shakespeare's authority
for saying Il done it." But he couldn't.
Then he came back TO the first man. "Will
you show me where you got Shakespeare's
authority for the i done ity " he said

''Well sir calmly replied the super
intendent, Il don't know that we are to

Infant Royalty.

Afphonso XIII, the baby King OF
Spain, has an idea of his own on the sub
jeet of feminine privileges and royal
dignities. A few Sundays ago, at one
of the weekly dances, at which he is the
host, a pretty girl of eleven years won
his little Spanish heart, and he showed
his susceptibility by choosing her re-
peatedly for a partner. At the end of
the dance the children, as usual, began
embracing aud kissing each other good
by. Alfonso made straight for his di.
minutive favorite with open arms. She
shrank away coquettishly and refused
ever to let him kiss her cheek. Alfonso
looked her over, turned his back and
walked away. The following Sunday
the little girl was present, but the King
did not dance with her. When the ball
closed, however, she went TO him and
turned her cheek to be kissed. Alfonso
took a step backward, stretched out his
hand that she might kiss it, and said, 81
am your King."-Pacayune.

therefrom, causing the bucket alternately
to dip into the water and lift it to the

In some cases these machines are pro-

These arms are usually made from the

are in the first case planed on the four
sides by means of a special planning ma
chine, and then sawn to the exact length
required by means of a double cross-cut
saving machine made specially for the
purpose. The arms are then passed on
to the shaping machine, which rapidly
and effectively does its work. The ma
chine is quite s~elf-contained aud has the
driving shaft placed overhead and sup
ported upon standards fixed to the main
bed. The arrangements for dealing with
the various lengths of arms have been
carefully worked out. At the official
test of the machine the wooden arms
were finished at the rate of three per

a distinguished authority upon jew.
elry has an interesting article in the dw-
slsrs' Weekly, in which he argues that the
koh-i.noor, the great British crown
jewel, is only a fragment of The Great
Mogul's diamond. all trace OF which was
suppose to be lost. That remarkable
stone has been regarded as somewhat
apocryphal, but this writer holds that
the Mogul's diamond did exist; that it
was a stone Of 26s carats. If the koh.
i-noor is really the vast stone that the
great General, Mir Junila, gave to Shah
Jahan In 1857, the romantic history of
the great diamond will have to be re-.
written and made the more romantic.
