just boarded the train.
These two men az once began to size each

"What the use Of guns unless We know
What's the use Of CAB if you don't back

They were now hot and ready for more, and
10 soon came.
"Out on our ranch we size SIGH fellers as
you up for wolf bait said the right handed
is that So Well. out on our ranch we
don't wait to size up chaps like you. We

They both sprang up and Of course we
rushed forward to stop the fight Near by was
a man who had been trying to get to sleep to
cure headache. He sprang up. peeled OF his
coat, threw down his hat and shouted al the
two terrors:
Both of YOU sit down" as if death wasn't
five feet away
They dropped back on the seats like bags Of
sand and he stood over them and demanded
of the one on the right:
Where dOyOu camp when you're at home?'

He went back to his seat to nurse his head
ache and the two terrOrs sat SO quietly for the
next hour that some of us wondered If they
hadn't been scared to death. Later on one of
them fOndly carressed his bar claws and the
other read dime novel and they were at
peace with all the world.

Omeial but Untrue.

The statement that our government
sometimes INDUCES in white" false
hoods may sound a little disrespectful
But it is not intended TO be so. Further
more, the statement is true. The Senate
clock nonsense that occurs at the closing
of every session of congress and consists
in setting back the hands of the time
piece in the Senate chamber, so as to
prevent the arrival of the hour of u be
fore the Senate is ready to adjourn, is an
acted falsehood that has apparently be-
come fxed1custom.
Another bit of falsehoOd that the gov
eminent is at present indulging in is the
nominal starving to death of a number
of Chinese at Portland, Oregon. AS a
matter of fact the celestials are eating
three square meals a day, and at the gov
ernments expense, at that. Yet the gov
eminent is playing that they have not
had a morsel of food in ten days or more,
and that they will not eat again until
runaway ship captain is caught and made
to act the host,
The situation is this: A steamer ar
rived at Portland with Chinese and opium
dDOdIu' Inc SUPPOSED luJ6nUlOn Oh inc
skipper was to smuggle both the Chinese
and the opium into this country, but the
custom officers caught up" with him,
prohibited the landing of the Chinese,
| seized the opium and libeled the vessel
for smuggling. The skipper and his crew
abandoned the ship leaving aboard of
her sixty Chinese without food or
making provision for any The govern
ment's position is that it Is the duty of
the captain, the ships agent, to feed his
! contraband passengers; hence the govern
ment refuses to take charge of and care
/ for them, as it would be doing if it
were TO order the provision of
/ food for them 1t simply refuses
to interfere with them in any manner
! whatsoever-that is, it nominally refuses
! to do SO ION the quiet" or "unoffi-
cially," or however else it may be stated,
the abandoned Chinese are being taken
care of at government expense until the
libel upon the vessel is settled in the
| courts.

A Wicked Office Bow.

The office boy and the blonde typewriter
had quarreled, says the Baltimore Herald.
1t was over trivial matter, to be sure, but
nevertheless they were on the outs.
Both seemed spitefully Teyengeful. and
when one day the Office boy played of sick
and went to the baseball game the typewriter
made known to the employer the youth
sporting prOclivites. This, as might be eX
spected caused trouble, and the wrath of the
office boy against the young lady with the
nimble fingers increased more and more.
Days passed, and the lad planned and dreamed
OF schemes to get back at his fair tOrmen
tor, who stood so well in the graceS OF the en-
ployer Now, on every typewriter there is a
small gong which rings when the end OF the
line is reached, The office boy knew this, and
as he watched the prettily tapered fingers
throw back the carriage at each tap of the bell
he smiled with hendish glee.
1t was late in the afternoon. The young la
dy was induStriouSly tapping the keys to fin
iSh the firm S correspondence. She had
reached the last letter, and remarked to the
once boy that her best young man was going
to take her to the theRter that evening.
Hence her hurry This only made the office
boy smile all the more, for he knew that his
time had come. His eyes seemed to say, Re
venge is sweet The young lady slipped the
piece of paper into the machine and began at
a lightning speed to write from her notes.
he youth watched the carriage sliding to
and fro. He took from his pocket rusty
nail and as the typewriter wrote on uncon-
SciouSly he tapped the bell lightly with the
nail. The young lady, never thinking, pushed
the paper up another line and went on. Again
the boy tapped the bell and again the young
lady turned the machine. This was kept up
until the maiden had written all there was to
write.
A small figure had sneaked easily out Of
the door. The blonde withdrew the sheet
from the machine. She looked at IL and
looked again and saw before her a letter
written something after the fashion Of the
latterday step-ladder poetry Not single
line was properly written. The girl grew
thoughtful. She seemed to remember that
the bell had rung a trifie oftener than usual,
She looked about the room and then she re-
memhered that the Office boy had once upon
a time gone to a base ball game and had re-
marked subsequently that he would get even.

GeorRia,s Colonies.

from the Baltimore American tRep)
The reproduction Of colonels in Georgia is
causing some embarrassment in that state.
There has been a great deal of marrying on
the part OF titled military men in the water
melon state since the civil war, Their sons
refuse any title below that of colonel, and the
state refuses to increase the number Of mill
tia in order to provide the colonies with regi-
ments. The result is the state is full of these
officers who are without stats and commands.
1t Is limited that they intend to carry their
grievances to the legislature, The honor Of
the state it is said, is involved in the strug-
gle. The number Of colonels will not be re-
duced without fight that viii shake all

The Augusta Chronicle arr,ss with The
MoRNING News that the public schools
should b. literally supported, ana that
teachers should bo.al}owcd sufficient COM
pensation 20 permit Of the securing OF the
very best talent in our schools. But,
alas eXclaims the Chronicle, "that is
only haif of the story. 10 would be bad
enough If it were all; but besides paying
her teachers iuadequately Georgia is
guilty of not paying them when the
money is due. In many counties the pub

the county cannot redeem until taxes are
paid some months in the future, and
besides being poorly paid, the teacher has

his script to some Inerciless note shaver
who demands from ten TO twenty per
cent and sometimes more for advancing
the cash" This is, truly, regrettable
state Of affairs, and one that should com
mand the attention of the proper authori-
ties Not only should the teachers be
paid adequately but they should be paid
promptly

A Pleasant Experienoe.

It was woman who was talking, little
giddy-looking thing, but she was speaking
quite nervously to her travelling companions,
telling story of her experience on a former
trip says the Detroit Free Press.
Yes she was saying, Mrs. b was
with me, and had my terrier along as / was
going home on a visit and as usual with wO-
men who are travelling didn't have any too
much money-iu fact, l had spent all my al
lOwance except 81, and was ashamed to let
jim know. so when the conductor told me I
must send that dog TO the baggage car and
pay IL for him at the end of the trip, 1 felt
pretty bad.
Mean old thing, - chorused the company
HE said ii wasn't his fault that the dog
was perquisite OF the baggage man. ~
And he tied him up, ana didn't give him
drink, nor any
No. he didn't, Wait a minute The car
was crowded and there wasn't vacant seat.
At one of the stations tall, slim old lady
with white hair got in ana stood leaning
against the side Of the car door. was cross

her stand then I felt ashamed OF myself, and
giving the dog TO my trend went and asked
the woman to take my seat. She did not want
to. but 1 told her J WAS going TO walk up and
down the car aisle for exercise, which did. )"

No, it wasn't I'm awfuily selfish, but
wait. After the car started "a man in a check
ed bingham blouse and blue OVeralls came in
and talked to the Old lady. and called her
mother. When he went out again she told
us what good son he was. At the next sta

Though George C. Perkins, of California
has served in the senate of the state, and
been its governor, the main reason for his ap-
poiutment by GOV Markham. to succeed the
late Leland Stanford in the United States
Senate is said TO he his ability to contribute
100000 TO the republican campaign fund in
the next state canvass. AS he is several
times a millionaire. there is no doubt of his
ability in that respect and his willingness is
probably assumed on the ground that he can
continue 10 hold his seat only through the
election Of a republican legislature. There is
no ground upon which his ability as 4 states
man is to be assumed.

arrested for robbery from the person of a
the identity of the prisoners, but there
was no one to testify against them but
the deaf and dumb man His gestures
were eloquent and vehement, but they
could not be accepted as evidence. The
unfortunate dummy" could neither read
nor write and had never been instructed
in the sign language, so that no connected
or intelligent story could be got from him
The justice had to discharge the men for
lack of evidence, although it was pretty
clear in his mind that they were thieves.
This, it may be remarked, was an in
stance in which the signs failed.

A California fruit grower said a day or
two ago: "The Pacific coast canneries
will be able this year to can very little
fruit. Money is so tight that it is impos-
sible for them to get the cash TO buy tin,
sugar and other necessary supplies and
pay their labor. They have already con-
tracted for the growers crops, and these
they viii have to take The peach and
other crops win be large and the can
ners will try to ship all the fresh fruit
possible. What they do not ship will be
dried. Naturally California fruit will
sell at low prices this year, but canned
goods next season will be high" This
statement of the case, which the Chicago
Tribune says is reliable, should suggest
to Georgia fruit growers the advisability
of getting everything possible into cans,

The New Paving Material.

The little piece of ebert pavement that
has been put down by the Central rail
road on New street next its warehouse is
well worth a visit from those who are in
terested in having the streets of this city
paved. ebert makes smooth pavement
that is very hard and promises to be
durable As already stated in the
MORNING News the cost of ebert pave
ment is about 30 cents a square yard.
That is about 30 cents a square yard less
thana she'll pavement.
When it is remembered that asphalt
and graywacke cost -. 30 square yard,
and that it costs annually 10 cents a square
yard to keep an asphalt pavement in re
pair, it will be readily understood that
ebert will be great thing for savannah
if present expectations in regard to it are
realized.
The city authorities should put down
no more graywacke, asphalt or shell
pavement until ebert has been given a
thorough trial If it viii give satisfac-
ton its cheapness makes it the material
to be used for paving in this city. Cost
ing much less than shells and only lit
phalt a large amo ant of paving could be
done with it each year. 1t would not be
many years before all of the principal
streets would be paved
The fame Of ebert is reaching other
cities The mayor has received several
communications in respect to it, one be
ing from Washington, d. c. II seems
that the Washington authorities are not
wholly satisfied with asphalt and are
| seeking for something cheaper and more
durable.
Something like a month ago report
was sent out from. Columbia, S. c., that
there was danger that the state liquor
dispensary would b, burned by the OPP
ponents of the dispvnsary law Special
correspondents said the story was a
hoax; that there was no danger of any
such thing The evil effect Of the report
is now being felt by the dispensary mana
gers. The larger and more important
companies, 50 says the News and Courier,
"have ordered their agents to cancel in
! surance policies on the dispensary," and
other companies appear unwilling to as
sumo risks on the establishment. There
! is hardly more danger of the state dis
| pensary than of any other large whisky
depot being burned, but that sensa-
tional dispatch Of a month ago made
! the companies timid.
