Not Exactly a College Girl.

This city is overrun with college girls"
said Rowell to his friend Powell Powell
was a stranger and Rowell was showing
him around, and the remark was made as
they rode down town on Chestnut street
car. "Therei is something distinctive about
the college girl" continued Rowell. "You
can tell one wherever or whenever you see
her. In the first place, her feet are con-
spicuous by their neatness and by the fact
that they are always on the floor whether
she sits or stands Her hands seem to be
always in the right place, and there is
something about her general carriage
that seems to proclaim, 4 am an
educated woman Now that girl sit
ting opposite us is college woman. I'll
bet my head, and in order to prove it I'll
find out. Now listen to her quiet manner
as she replies to me-" and moving across
the car Rowell addressed the miss: SEX
cuse me, miss You are probably ac-
quainted in the city; am not. Can you
tell me where the Drexel building is? I've
asked the conductor, but he doesn't seem
to know"
"Oh, what CUFFS this yer givin me? II
yer think yer can pick me up you're mis-
taken. Pm a porfeck lady, am"
Rowell and Powell did not wait to get
off at the Drexel building Philadelphia

Rainy Days Are Welcome.

There is one class of people to whom a
rainy day is a blessing. They are the pro
fessional music teachers of the city who
have studios where they give instruction.
Such of these as are well known and popu.
lar have clientele that fills every hour OF
the day. On stormy day the chances are
that not one in four of the pupils will show
up for their lessons, this being especially
true in the case of young ladies and girls.
The result is that the teacher has practi.
cally day of leisure.
But he loses all that he would have
earned had the day been fine? Not at ALL
Every lesson is charged for just the same
as if it was given, and it is right that it
should be so, or there would be no protec.
tion for the teacher He gives certain
hour of certain day to each pupil and he
is ready to perform the part of the contract
which he undertakes. If the pupil is not,
through sickness, indisposition, or desire
to make a call, attend a matinee, or do
some shopping, he must charge for the
time just the same, for having held it in
reserve for a special purpose it cannot be
profitably used by him otherwise.
So whenf yer torrents of rain are pouring
down from ,. leaden sky, the professional
music teachers of the city will, as a rule,
be found in their studios enjoying that
leisure which is so delightful when com.
bined with the knowledge that the income
is not cut off by it's indulgence.-New York

Memories of the Old Folks.

There is never q snowstorm but that
grandfather or grandmother remembers a
worse one away back in the fabulous times
of thirty, forty or sixty years ago. No late
springs or early autumn frosts surprise
them, for they know by long experience
that the promises of seed time and harvest
are sure.
They are better than town histories, fol
they furnish not only facts but illustra-
tions. They are versed in genealogies.
When a western paper comes home with a
marked item telling of the success some
boy or girl is achieving 1900 miles away,
grandfather and grandmother will tell
you whether the germ of success came
from the Smith or Jones side of the house
the Smiths natural aptitude or the Jones
energy.
When people wonder why young Black.
with his good home, went down hill, the
old people can show how the sins of a man
are visited upon those who follow him.
They remember in what year Abiatha1
Perkins was born and whom Eliphalet
Ross married for his first wife. They know
that DR.. Plummer's second wife was a
Rowe and not n Springer, and that she be
longed to the Miles Rowes in EPSON, and
not to the Eusebius Rowe family in Shelf
field.-Lewiston Journal.

BUSHES WEN iiii;


being able to stand the strain
of making itself heard in the
large hall, General Lee announced
that the members of the confederate
navy werespart and parcel of the as
ISOLATION. A committee of one from
each state will be appointed to choose
the place of next meeting. A resolu-
ton in reference to the badge worn by
the association was reported by sub
stitute as follows: Resolved, that if
by so doing copyright can be secured,
the letters, "U. G. "" be placed on
the badge and that the quartermaster-
general be authorized to make the
change but if no copyright can be Sc
cured that there be no change in the
badge.
A resolution by Col. Price Williams
Jr., relative to monument to lSaphel
Semmes, was reported by substitute
which was adopted as follows: The
committee has considered the resolu-
ton and while they are in hearty
sympathy with any project that
would honor the memory of the man
who SO CALAMITY carried the flag of
the Confederacy on the high seas they
are of the opinion that the association
as such should not reflect on the hero
to the exclusion of others for monu-
mental honors.
Surgeon General Joseph Jones sub
mitted his report. He said he had a
a roster of the medical and surgical
staff who served in the army ndnavy
of the Confederate states. He had
statistics of the number killed and
wounded and also had data relative
to the way in which several southern
states were taking care of their sick
and disabled veterans. The report
was received and a vote of thanks
rendered DIR. Jones.

Some Conflicting Stories.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. John D..
Peterson, conductor on the Central,
was arrested by Officers Sam and
Jake Platt, for resisting, it is alleged,
an attempt on the part of the officers
to take up his horse for grazing on the
street. Forcible means were used
and he was taken to the police sta
ton, where he was placed under bond
to appear for trial tomorrow morning.
Mr.. j. E. Jackson stated to q
STATESMAN reporter last night, say
ing he had received his information
from eye witnesses, that the officers
had been unnecessarily severe in
handling Mr.. Peterson, knocking him
down and beating him over the head.
The stories told by the officers and
by Mr.. Jackson are so conflicting that
The STATESMAN does not attempt to
give the facts, preferring to await the
result of the trial tomorrow morning.

Sank Au the Geese.

w. j. Mathews is one of Oakland's
architects, but with fowling piece he is
a little out of drawing On a recent trip
he had an experience with geese which has
furnished a topic for talk ever since.
The ducks didn't tail into the ponds so
it was determined to try the meadows for
brant One of the party dug up lot OF
tin decoys and proposed to stake them out.
What are those?" asked Mathews.
GOOSE decoys," was the reply.
well, any goose that would decoy to
those things deserves to be shot," rejoined
the architect with fine disdain. "They
wouldn't fool hy-up-the-creek."
But the decoys were set out near a tide
pond, and the hunters waited for the brant.
No brant came. Mathews made many
f1ippant remarks about hunters who shot
over tin pumpkins and expected geese to
be attracted to them. After a time the
Disguised sportsmen moved toward the up
land in search of anything which promised
a shot. They wandered about until nearly
dusk and then turned their steps home
ward Suddenly Mathews spoke up:
by crimeny, boys, there's a flock OIL
geese lit in that pondl | believe I'll make
a sneak on them"
So he ducked down into ditch got on
all fours, crawled quarter of mile, Gov
cred himself with mud, fell into water
crack over his rubber boots and at last
reached shooting distance Rising from
behind clump of trees, he took careful
aim and-bang- bang-discharge both
barrels at the flock as it sat.
Nothing rose--in fact, the whole feet
sank. Mathews had crawled upon and
riddled the flock of tin decoys which in the
morning he said wouldn't fool any goose.
The rising tide had merely brought the
pond up around them.-San Francisco Elk

strawberries and Pearls in Janan

1t has been pointed out by traveller in
Japan that Strawberries, which grow in
lavish profusion in some parts of the coun-
try, are possible source of wealth, and he
suggests that they should be utilized for
jam. The idea has not, however, caught
on in the land Of exalted art The Japan
csc do not attach as much Importance to
jam making as Mr.. Gladstone. The same
traveller has also called attention to an
other neglected industry. The waters
around the southwestern islands abound in
pearls, which, however, are practically I'M
worked, and even japanese paper admits
that there is scope for energy in this direc
tion. London Figaro.

There is time for all things, it is
said; when is the time to take cogni-
zance of vice and crime in the
young? Have we not heard of cases
where boys and girls were left to their
training of immortality until they
grew old enough and vicious enough
to commit some act which placed
them in the grasp of the law, after
which cities arose In their wrath and
gave them their undivided attention.
Swindlers, house breakers, murderers,
disreputable women, are not full
grown in a moment. They all grow.
They are growing up all over Austin.
Will the city shut it's eyes until they
are grown? The Greeks; are at our
door!

What know About Hardware and

1t is surprising how little the aver.
age newspaper advertisement has
varied in style and general makeup in
the last 20 years. "At cost" sacrifice
SALE bankrupt sale" grand open
ing" 1--WE defy competition" "unheard
of bargains" are some of the most
noted "Chestnuts" that are dishod
out, to newspaper readers, with mo.
notonous repetition. You might as
well expect your customers to buy
hats and bonnets that were in fashion
20 years ago, as to read such adver-
tisements. If you want your lads"
read you must make them attractive
to intelligent readers, You must show
some originality and keep up with the
times. Be sure and fulfill all your
promises. Never try to deceive the
people, for if you do, you simply ad.
vertise your own incapacity to conduct
your business. My style of advertising
