dramatically Correct.

In Boston's swell circles there is a
family whose butler has given to it a
unique position. Michael had not
been in Boston very long before he
became imbued with the classic
learning of the Hub" and he imme-
diately put his learning to use. Mrs.
Marblehall was to give reception,
and, of course, Michael stood at the
door. One by one the guests came
in. and Michael announced the names
very distinctly. But, at last, Mr..
Foote and his two daughters came
in. The butler looked at the guests
and .hesitated. He rubbed his hands
against his forehead and mustered
courage to speak before the crowded
guests, and, in sepulchral voice. he
cried: Mr.. Foote- and-the Misses
Feet!"

AN Omaha Judge has introduced a
new feature in divorce legislation. A
mans wife sued him for divorce, and
then. becoming reconciled to her hus-
band, abandoned prosecution of the
case. Her attorney presented bill
of $500, which she refused to pay.
He then sued the husband for the
bill, and recovered, the Judge hold
ing that divorces are necessary of
life. 1t is hardly possible that this
Judges decision will have any great
weight as precedent. 1t is difficult
to see how divorce, which the wife
herself declared that she did not
want. could have been considered a
necessary Of life. If, however, hus-
bands are hereafter to be liable for
their wives divorce bills, new re-
sponsibility of serious Importance has
been added to matrimony.

The Educated Hoosier CocLroach.

While gentleman was at his office
desk day or two ago one of these
disreputable insects ran across the pa
per on which he was writing. He
tipped it against the wall with his
finger and it bounded back on the
desk, lighting on it's back. 1t re-
manned motionless for some time,
until it recovered from the shock,
and then endeavored to get upon it's
feet again, but in vain. Smaller
reaches passed by their PROSTATE
brother, evidently without noticing
it, but larger one came along pretty
soon, stopped, went over to the one
that lay upon it's back, straddled
across it, and, giving it quick jerk
with its forelegs, landed it deftly up
on its feet, and the two disappeared
together over the edge of the desk. -

Maltese Wit.

A recent traveller in Malta says
that the people have a peculiarly apt
and ready wit. He tells of an En-
glish officer, who, failing to make a
poor Maltese understand an order de-
livered in the language of Cockaigne,
called the poor man "a fool" Under
standing this much, the man, who
had travelled about a good deal,
though he did not understand En-
glish, replied by asking:
"Do you speak Maltese?"
NO"
"Do you speak Arabic?"
mo"
"Do you speak Greek?

"Do you speak Italian?"

Carter H. Harrison is Mayor Of
Chicago for the fifth time. The
campaign, out of which he emerged
triumphantly, was one Of the hottest
in the history Of the Worlds Fair
city. It began early. Harrison was
DESTROYS of being the official head of
Chicago during the Worlds Fair, and
last fall he began setting wires
toward securing the regular Demo
cratic nomination, threatening to run
independently if defeated in conven-
tion. His principal opponent for the
nomination was Washington Hesing,
editor of the German paper. Hesing

was defeated in convention and then
branch of the Democratic party and
the Republicans nominated a citi-
zens' ticket, headed by Samuel w.
Allerton, member of the Chicago
Board of Trade and a stock yards
operator. The working class nom
mated Dewitt G. Cregier for Mayor
and the Socialists placed in nolnina-
tion Henry Ehrenpreis. The fight
between Harrison and Allerton was
bitter and personal. Almost the en-
tire press supported the latter, and
the records of both men were ana
lyzed and reanalyzed. Harrison was
shown up as the gamblers friend;
Allerton was painted by the Harri-
son press as a cheap demogogue.
The popularity of Harrison. however,
could not be shaken and he was
elected by majority Of over 10, 900.
