The esteemed New York Herald APP
pears to have forgotten that hale and
hearty old adage which sets forth that
''brevity is the soul of wit" 1t tempo
rarily loses sight of the fact that con-
slant hammering blunts the point of
any self-respecting joke. That was a
1rst-clasS joke, after cumbersome, ele-
phantine fashion, which the Herald
perpetrated regarding the editor of the
Sun and the senatOrShip from New
York; but the distinguished considera-
ton which this joke received from
mirth-IOving' public should not tempt
our contemporary to work it too hard.
A lie persisted in may be as good
as the truth, but Joke unduly per-
sisted in is usually a very wan and
WOe-begOne affair. Having doomed
DANA for the senate and received
the country'S cordial appreciation of
its hum0r, the Herald should turn its
ScintilIant wit in the direction of ''green
fields and pastures new" The good
natured people who laughed at DANA
for the senate can scarcely be expected
to laugh at DANA for the cabinet, DANA
for the English mission. DANA for the
New York poStoffice or DANA for a
United States deputy marshalship. In
fact, the DANA joke is about as dead as
q joke can be. Give it decent burial.

THE CITY ADvERTIsrNG.

The Evening News, in critlcising the
board of aldermen for falling to let the
advertising Of the corporation notices to
the lowest bidder, claims that, had the
resolution passed, saving would have
been made to the taxpayers of from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year.
The only interest the GLOBE feels in
this matter is to have the taxpayers cor
rectly informed. The GLOBE has done
the advertising in question during the
year 1892. For the eleven months, Jan
nary to November. inc lusive, the
GLOBES bills against the city amounted
all told to the exact sum of ST, S94.37.
For the month of Dec ember, last year,
the GLOBE received the sum of 1922. 10.
1t will probably receive substantially
the same amount for the current De-
cember-making total for the year Of
seven thousand five hundred and six
teen dollars and eighty-t wo cents ST.

done this work so as 70 save the city

A SOUTHERN TRAGEny

A few Gays ago there was a tragedy
In the metropolis of CarrOIton, Miss.
No further explanation of the antece
hent circumstances is necessary than is
contained in the following excerpt from
the CarrOllt0n Conservative of date
day OF so before the killing:
Now, Mr. Hide-Bound, you vampire, Won

breeder of discussions, you, who, if YOU had

party, thinking to build yourself up by their
DOWNFALL; you. who would cover an honest
man and his little innocent children with
Dbloquy, that your paltry and hell-born de-

Mr.. ''Hide-Bound" was young attor-
ney of Carrollton who occasionally con-
EriDuted to the press over the signature
of "Hide-Bound Prometheus." The au-

An Arab loves as none but an Arab
can love, but he is also nightly excit-
able and easily won. An Arab sees a
girl bearing water or brushWood and in
a moment almost at a glance is as madly
in love as if he had passed years
in courtship. He thinks OF moth
ing else, cares and dreams of moth
ing else but the girl he loves
and not infrequently, adds the New
Orleans Times Democrat, if he is disap-
pointed in his affection, he pines and
dies. In order to commence his suit he
sends for member of the girls tribe
who has access to the harem and first
insuring his secrecy by a solemn
oath, cOnfesses his love and en-
treats his confidant to arrange an
interview. The confidant goes to the
girl, gives her flower or blade of grass
and saws: 'sSwear by him who made
this flower and us also that you will not
reveal to anyone that which am about
to unfold to YOU" If the girl
will not accept the proposal
she will not take the oath, but
nevertheless, keeps the matter per-
fectly secret from all. If she is favora-

SOME UNCOMMON THINGS.

A great. able-lOoking down
pillow, which occupies position of
prominence on the divan in a certain

of scarlet poppies embroidered
in the corners. Over the silk is
wrought in black Kensington stitch: Il

sweden,s Learned King.

King Oscar, of Sweden, celebrated his
twenty-ffth anniversary as doctor of
philosophy recently. AS duke of
Ostgothland the University of Lund
conferred that degree upon him quar-
ter of a century ago, in recognition of
his services to literature and science.
His majesty spent the day at the uni
versity, and allowed the bishop of
Fleusburg to place again wreath of
laurel upon his brow. The university
is naturally proud of its adopted
alumnus, as the king is a man of learn
ing, able to converse intelligently upon
almost any topic, and a poet of no mean
parts. He has also composed music.
His majesty is the tallest monarch in
Europe, overlapping even the car of
Russia by several inches. A fine shock
of hair covers his head. and a long,
heavy beard adds dignity to his face.
In his robes of state he looks the ideal
