II never heard distinguished people
talk among themselves but once" de-
clared a young lady the other day, "but
then was quite satisfied. II was even
more interesting than had expected"
What did they talk aboutT asked
her companion curiously, "and who were
theyY'
The young lady named them-two
noted authors, a gentleman and lady.
"And they talked" she added, with a
smile, "about pokers."
"Pokersf" calculated the friend incred-
ulously.
"Pokersr' repeated the first speaker
firmly. "The authoress had just built a
new house, and her furnace did not
work well. She thought her companion
had one of the same kind in the house
and asked about 1t.
He gave her information and advice,
and then they branched off to pokers
and the iniquity of manufacturers who
make them of soft iron so that they bend
out of shape the first time they are red

you, that his style is exquisite and his
English singularly clear and vigorous?

A Plea For Egoism.

Ask yourself hard questions about
yourself; find out all you can about your
self. Ascertain from original sources if
you are really the manner of man you
say you are; if you are always honest; if
you always tell the square, perfect truth
in business deals; if your life is as good
and upright at II o'clock at night as it
is at noon; If you are as good temper
ance man at a fishing excursion as you
are at Sunday picnic; if you are as
good when you go out of the city as you
are at home; if, in short, you are really
the sort Of man your father hopes you
are and your sweetheart believes you to
be.-Panola (Tex.) Watchman.

Two Rem ari<able Cures,

An old Irish woman's COW was sick
unto death, SO she turned to the priest
to save it. II can't do anything to keep
your COW from dying" he said impa-
tiently.
"Fath an begorra it's you that can if
any one can," the answered in simple
faith.
Unwilling to have her reverence in
him shaken, the old man went to her
cabin. The sick COW was brought out
into the yard and propped up, then the
priest began solemn march around it,
chanting monotonously, "If you die, you
die; if you live, you live" When at last
the tired priest sat down, the COW was
reviving, and it afterward lived to a
green old age. Some years later the
priest was at the point of death with a
terrible quinsy, when the old Irish WON.
an presented herself at the house and
told the doctor she could cure him.
She was laughed to scorn, but at last
had her own way. She insisted upon
having the dying mans bed brought out
into the middle of the floor, and around
1t she slowly cantered, singing, "If you
live, you live, and If you die you die"
The humor of the situation tickled the
suffering priest 80 that hearty laugh
broke the quinsy, and he also lived-to
a green old age.-Springfeld Homestead.

Power of the Imagination,

A Slumbering Copper Wire Resents
 Idle Curiosity.

Since the weather has grown warmer the town has been more OverTun than during the cooler months with the hat less and shoel ss Papago bucks who seem to delight Tn loaing in the most frequented places and take a lsnguid interest in whatever is going on.
 A couple of them Were yesterday in- dolently watching the stringing of the electric light wires in the vicinity Of the post office when one of the ropes by which they are tauled taut, broke, the end of tue wire flying back and crossing the lines of telegraph and contracting therefrom quite current of electricity.
 One of the bucks started across the street and reaching the innOceEt look ing rope o; bright copper happened to place one bare foot upon 1t.
 He gave quick hop without uttering any sound and carefully examinei his sole. He then cautiously reapproached ths wire daintily touched 1t with his toe and immediate y gave another jump.
 By this time his companion had jo ned him and upon invitation put his foot square upon 1t and was in turn in- tensely mystified. Both then suddenly recollected themselves. Gazing around at number of spectators and seeing their proceeding had been observed and evidently enjoyed, they quickly walked off with puzzled expression to talk the mystery over in the ne ghbOrIng corral.

The report that the Japanese in Ra- waii are contemplating resistance by force to American domination of the islands IS contradicted by the writer.
 NEW YORK, 20.-The rejection ot Theo- dore Seligman, son of Jesse Sel gman, the banker, by the Union League Cub at its meeting few nights ago has caused considerable talk m club circles, especially among the Union League members. When seen at his office to- day Jesse Seligman said: ''I do not care to discuss the matter at all, except to say the result Of the election was due en ntirely to bitter race preJudics on the part of number of mem bers of the club 1 have sent my written resignation to the officers of the club, which they will have to accept. That ends the matter" Mir. Jesse SelIgmsn has besn mem Der of the Union League Club for many years, and was aD officer uD to l. st ar With the exception of Mir. Sc igman and Edward E.Dstin, the late Republi- can candidate for mayor, the Uniun League has no Hebrew ms 10 bers, and 1t i5 understood that the mem bers of the committee on admission were at first very much opposed to reporting favcr- ably upon young MT. Sellgmar's name. It is said that Cornelius \. Bl ss and number of other leading members of the club worked hard 10 secure the election of MT. Seligman, but the opposition was too strong. A prominent member of the club sad tonight that the rejection of young Selgmau was a mistake a, d that 1t was carrying the rdce prejudice too fer, and it may lead to seve al resig- nations, as MT. Jesse Seligman and his son had host of warm personal friends in the club, and they are deeply cha grined over the action of the club. The young man is lawyer, and is member of several Well-known clubs, and is very popular where he is best known. Tte last man who was rejected at the Unicn League Club was Russell Sage.
 NEW YORK, April 2O-It was rumored yesterday that the UnIol League Club intends to hold special meeting soon to consider the recent blackballing of Theod Ire Seligman. The club has 1900 members, of whom orly 4f0 were present when the 136 black balls were cast against Mir. Seligman. It is sad that the majtr,ty of the members in tend to rapudiate this action nd to set themselves aright before the public and chow that their opinions are not governed by race prejudice.
