TEror, tina Ma-nnhfs AunanI1


General Wright. while In New York on
q recent trip, put up at a big Broadway
hotel, where they had one of those door
boys at the entrance to the dining-room
with memory that lie phenomenal. When
General Wright went in to dinner upon
his arrival the boy took his hat and put II
in the rack along with a couple of hun
dred others, many of them seemingly eI-
actly like il. About three-qusrters of an
hour later the general strolled out and
asked for his hat. InstsEd of picking over
the entire lot In the rack, as the general
more than half expected he would, the boy
selected the generals hat as though BY in
tuition and handed Il to him.
"How did you know that was my hair
asked General Wright, his curiosity
aroused.
az didn't know twas your hat, boss, "
said the boy, "but knowed hit was the
hat you gimme"

WINDY WAYS OF MEN.

WINDY WAYS OF MEN.
Neither the Historical Society, nor the
Chamber of Commerce, nor the Board OF
Health, nor the Board of Education has
yet discussed the dust nuisance, but we
are told that 1t will rise, or be raised, in
the meeting of the Committee on Appro.
priations this evening. It Is perhaps too
much to hope that 1t will be laid by that
committee, but some are hoping that Ii
will. It LIS not jest the right kind of
nuisance to be promptly and definitely
treated by City Hall committee or board.
Now if it were question of an sppropria-
ton to keep the national flag flying on St.
Patrick's day, or St. Georges day, or Pope
Leo's day, and to keep it from flying
on Wsshington's birthday, there would
be ground for hope. But we shall be sur
prised If the committee considers the
health, the clothes and the houses of the
people worth spending so enormous sum
as 5000 to protect.
The poet who wrote
GAN the windy ways of men
Are but dust that rises up
And is lightly laid again"
didn't live In New Haven. The ways of
men here, especially men who are mem
bers of boards, are quite windy, but they
are not like the dust, for the dust isn't
laid. If some board will give us chance
to see watering carts going about lightly
laying the dust we can better appreciate
the simile of the poet, which has much
meaning for places where dust is laid.

Seeing the loneliness their loss has brought,
That they were dearer far than we had taught
Ourselves to think. We see that nothing less

Or anger with their loving presence near,
Or wound them by the smallest word or deed

A GhastlY Execution.

One of the most CHASTITY executions
OF the French revolution was that OF
the marquis de Marville. While
standing on the scaffold awaiting
the completion Of the preliminary
arrangements, the marquis addressed
a few words to the assemblage of
people. He was proceeding to say
that before he died he wished to
open their eyes to the truth, when
he was seized by the executioner and
forced under the knife. With the
utmost sang-froid the marquis con-
tinued: Educated as | was among
privileged class voluntarily aban-
dOned my friends to live among you,
to earn my daily bread side by side
with you, and | have always acted
like gooi patriot" At this mo-
ment the knife fell The guillotine
was, however, in such constant
requisition that it was frequently
out of order. Upon this occasion
the knife fell but did not sever the
vertebre, although the flesh was hor-
ribly mangled. The executloner and
his assistants raised the knife anew.
As soon as they had done so the
marquis, still lying face downward,
continued: "As was saying. fellow.
citizens, when | was interrupted
And again the knife fell, this time
accomplishing its CHASTITY work.
