He Was Rooted to the SPOT

There is dapper young fellow who stands up
behind high desk in a big insurance Office for
few hours every day and then takes horse
car to Washington square, says the New York
Tribune. Thence he walks up Fifth avenue be-
fore dinner to the handsome home of his papa
VINO believes in the young fellow working for
ms money, but gives his son generous salary
Tor 1t. This young fellow pays a good deal of
attention to his clothes generally, but his
especial pride is in his CATERS, tinted delicate
snade OF French gray, and neatly strapped under
MS narrow feet with straps long enough to allow
or their ends being doubled back through the
buckle, making little bow, in a truly delight
tul English manner you know.

VINO has comfortable chair, protected by an
awning, close 20 news stand in Park row. The
Italian knows that if he expects to get an extra

these little straps, fold the dainty CATERS back
out OF harms way, polish the shoes, fold the
CATERS down again neatly and without SPOT
or smudge on their immaculate surface, and
then buckle up the straps again.
The job was carefully completed the other af-
ternoon and the young fellow rose to step down
from the chair. His feet refused to bulge,
however. They were rooted to the spot by some
mysterious power, but his body continued on
with the impulse he had given it, and over he
went on his nose, with his feet still on the rests
The bootblack was equal to the occasion He
saw at glance what was the matter Raising
the young fellow by the shoulders he swung bis
body up in semicircle until he rested in the
chair again and then proceeded to undo those
CATER straps, which he had unwittingly buckled
under the thin iron foot-rest. The young man
had been strapped to the chair, He gathered
his rudely shaken body together, picked up the
change and keys that had tumbled out Of his
inverted pockets, and renowned that shoeblack
forever.

Senator Jones Hires a Hand.

Senator Jones gives considerable money to
the needy, says the Chicago He add bet he
can't be fooled He had been talking politics
In the Richelieu for couple Of hours one after
noon and started out for walk As he reached
the street professional beggar, approaching
with bowed head, said:
Please, sir, help deser wing cause don't
care for money; work is what I'm after I've
eaten nothing since yesterday, but would take
WORK now In preference to money"
You would never get so low as to work
would you! asked the senator.
"A chance is all ask. sir. I've been to every
store .!Tg IN Chicago and found nothing"
anything that's honest. SIR"
on may be true bill after all, and I'll give
you a ehance; I'll give you 50 cents an hour to
Thank you, sir, for saving my life. I'll work
two days tor that. -
Senator Jones told the fellow to walk along
ana ne would find him something to do. The
rlch politician from Nevada does not give
money to street beggars but makes them work
LOT whatever he chooses to give them. He
walked with this tattered old tramp up Michi-
gan avenue and it was funny sight Pedes-
TRANS turned around to see the finelookinp
senator and his odd looking companion Near
harrison street workmen were moving a quan-
slIy OF Old timber. Senator Jones asked the
foreman II he wanted to hire new man. When
ne answered no, the senator said he would pay
the man. All he wanted was a chance to have
the man work and earn his money.
glad TO get new man for nothing, and the fel-
low pitched in to work like a hero, stopping
only now and then TO thank his benefactor for
saving his life. The man had worked about
nVe minutes when a gaudy tally-ho came sail
ing down the boulevard The senator stepped
aside to look at the gay coach, and when his
oack was turned the tramp jumped the fence
and ran down Michigan avenue for dear life
NO men ever escaped from work so rapidly as
ne, and the senator laughed very heartily as he
realized that he was yet to be fooled by tramps
who are dying to go TO work
Telling the story afterward Senator Jones re-
marked that thS greatest tramp In Nevada was
one Scotty. He has never worked a day in his
life" said Mr.. Jones. but he is so clever that
every one helps him. When was out west last
time he ran across me and 1 asked about his
brother.
Don't mention his name to me, implored
ScottY, as the tears sneaked down his
cheeks.
" Has he turned out badly?' asked
Though the subject is painful to me / will
conceal my emotions and tell all

That's the worst. If he had died his shame
might have been buried with him.
Did he disgrace himself?'

Savaunah's Bright Prospects.

A gentleman who resides in Kansas CITY
and who has just completed a two weeks
visit here, is very enthusiastic about Savan-
nah's future. He made some predictions in
regard TO it that exceed any that have been
made heretofore. He said that he had
visited about every important city in the
south and west, and that he nowhere saw
such evidences Of a prosperous future as
here. Railroads, he said, from every direc-
ton were being built toward Savannah.
and the people, as rule, were fully alive
| to what was in store for them. The evi.
dence that they had confidence in the future
of their city was seen in the new buildings
which were being erected, the street rail-
roads which were being built. and the in
vestments which were being made in real
| state
He declared that just such condition of
things as this existed in Kansas City before
that place began that remarkably rapid
growth which has placed it among the great
cities of the country.
| The millionaires of Kansas City-and
there are many Of them-are those who
looked ahead, saw what was coming and
prepared for it. One man among them
made as much as $l,000,000 a year for sew
eral years by his judicious investments in
real estate.
Aud what occurred in Kansas City may
be witnessed here. Savannah has excep-
tional advantages. II her people make the
most OF them her progress will not only as
tonish her own people but will attract the
attention of the whole country. But her
people must work together, earnestly, con-
fidently and courageously. And they must
not allow their interest in the city's future
to flag. or fail to lend new enterprises a
| helping hand.

The Florida senatorsbin sett,aa

There is no doubt a feeling of relief
throughout Florida that the senatorial con-
test is ended. There will be a great deal of
dissatisfaction expressed, probably, because
the two-thirds rule was not adhered to, but
the caucus became convinced that it could
not make nomination as long as that rule
was IN force The final adjournment of the
caucus on Monday night therefore amounted
to an admission that the majority of the
democrats had determined to let the major
ty elect the senator in joint session.
And there Is not any good reason for
doubling that Call is the choice of the ma
jority of the democrats of the state. The
opposition to him was strong, and the fight
that was made against him was one that
will be long remembered in Florida politics,
but about all those who opposed him will
admit in the course of time probably, if
| they do not now, that the abandonment of
| the two-thirds rule was WISE
Call has been a good senator and ne will
| render the people of Florida better service,
doubtless, than any other man who could
have been selected. There is no question of
his ability and he has had twelve years. ex-
| perience in the Senate. And democrats of
experience will be needed in the Senate next
| winter
Call is only little more than IS years of
age. and is in the enjoyment of robust
health. Excellent service, therefore, may
be expected of him during the whole of the
| term fer which he has been elected.
| 1t is hardly probable that the two-thirds
rule will play leading part in Florida
politics again after such conspicuous
| abandonment of it.
The claim of the opposition that there
has been no election will hardly be ad-
united. A majority Of the legislature was
present in the joint session, and Call re-
ceived a majority of the votes of the whole
legislature. 1t may safely be predicted
that he will receive his credentials and
will be permitted to take his seat in the
| Senate.

No more emphatically outspoken opinion
OF the party that is popularity supposed to
have come into existence at Cincinnati last
week has yet been heard than the blunt
expressions of Secretary Foster to
the effect that there is mo room
for it." To say nothing of the brill
liant prospects for internal strife in party
composed largely of the Numerically CD.
posite elements of pronounced prohibition
lists and equally incurable salooonists, the
secretary intimates deep-rooted suspicion
that it could only become a disagreeable
sort of institution for stealing republican
thunder. That should not annoy the secre-
tary. On the other hand he should rejoice
and be exceeding glad if the new party
stole all the thunder the republicans have.
Just see how their peculiar variety of thun-
der has wrecked their own aspirationsl It
would be a good thing to unload on the In Z
nocent new party.

Great Medicine Bac-Ka,Che is the chief
opponent among the frontier Indians t.
the proposed scheme for entering into the
pleasures and profits of agriculture. Ac-
cording to the doctrine of this potent au-
thority agricultural effort is wearying and
unpleasant. Beside there is not quite
enough fire-water and card playing in it.
Yet the Indian must be given the justice to
say that with anything better than a series
of barren sandhills he might have been en-
couraged to 60 ahead and break his back
trying to sprout Georgia watermelons up in
