They Exchange Hats.

From the Louisville Commercial.
well, SIR said a well-known Main
street man, Il had an embarrassing ex-
perience this morning. I invariably sleep
until the very last moment, and then make
a rush for the breakfast table and the car
This morning 1 had but five minutes to get
through eating and catch the car that pass
ed my door. 1 fairly choked things down
my throat. and. hearing the clang Of the
motOrman's bell, l made a rush for the
street. AS 1 passed through the hall
snatched a broad brimmed straw hat that
was hanging on the rack, and just reached
the corner in time. Then 1 dropped into q
seat and took the morning paper from my
pocket.
1T was not long until heard a gentle
tittering from some dry goods clerks in the
seats behind me. They kept it up and
somehow l got an idea into my head that
1 turned fiercely to one Of them and asked
what it was that seemed to amuse them So
He trembled and managed to gasp out that
/ had on my wifes hat. 1t was even so, and
there was one of those long, gaudy, yellow
pins that women use to keep their headgear
that jerked it off and threw it into the
street. Then everybody in the car reared
and / felt truly furious. When l reached a
hat store / stepped in and bought me a hat
of the masculine variety.
Several hours afterward my wife dropped
in the store, and she was wearing my hat
There was a pin in the back of 1t and a.
little face veil swinging from the front, but
it was my hat. 1 didn't say word, and
that woman is wearing 1t yet. What both
me is that every body found out the joke
On me and nobody noticed it on her.

Words OF Wisdom.

From the Rams Horn
Religion is like muscle; If we do not use
It we will lose 1t. III
The man who would be a leader must be
the first to start
There are some fish that the devil can
catch with a bare hook q
fool soon shows that he has an empty
head by the questions he asks.
Our size In heaven will depend upon how
much We weigh for God on earth.
There are good sermons in stones for the
man who can read Gods handwriting.
The moment we listen to a doubt we be-
gin conversation with the devil.
1t would bankrupt heaven for angels to
go In company that some church pillars
consider good.
Putting screens in the saloon doors is one
of the devils ways Of trying to hide his
cloven hoOf.

SAGE'S FOREIGN TRIP,
The Millionaire Looks FavOrably ON
the Cheap Steerage Rates.

The Millionaire Looks FavOrably on
the Cheap Steerage Rates.
From the Philadelphia Press.
About two weeks ago 1t was stated pri-
vately that Mr.. Sage had determined to 60
abroad and when there began to be circu-
lated statements that the object of his
trip was to bring back George Gould Mr.
Sage himself said that he had no inten-
ton OF visiting Europe at all. Now these
stories are again going the rounds of Wall
street. If he really goes there will be
no end Of curiosity as to the reasons for
his departure 1t is said that the million
aire will not make the tour at all unless
he is able to take advantage of cheap
steerage rates. However, you can go abroad
now for so, so the financier should not let
that interfere with his trip If he wants to
make 1t.
Mr.. Sage has begun to grow that beard
Of his once more. He has curious way
now of letting 1t grow for week and
then appearing on the street smooth
shaver. He looks far handsomer without
his facial hirsute adornment than with ii,
but assuming that the magnate shaves
himself and that the Job takes five min
utes every such operation costs So. That
is rather a high price for any man to pay
for a shave even II he be as rich as Rus
sell Sage, and, of course, he would not
allow any such amount to be thrown away
in that manner. Hence his apparent uncer-
tainty as to whether he should wear a
beard or not.

A Profitable Combination.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The drummer stepped into a store in a
western town. where the proprietor had a
stock of guns and musical instruments.
Isn't this a rather queer combinationT'
he asked.
There's money in 1t to me-" replied the
proprietor.
Il don't see how"
That's because you amt up on our
ways"
WELL put me up"
IT'S this way" explained the proprietor.
Il sell man a cornet or banjo, or fiddle or
something like that, and by the time he has
practiced a week his neighbor comes in and
buys a shotgun or revolver. or something
like that, and 1 get profit goin' and
comm. See?''
1t doesn't take a drummer long to see,
and this one was In possession Of all his
faculties.

THE A. p. A. IN CONVENTION.
It's Methods and Achievements Giving
Political Managers Much Concern.

Its Methods and Achievements Giving
Political Managers Much Concern.
From the New York Sun.
NEW HAVEN, September 27.-The eau
cuses for the nomination Of town officers, to
be voted for at the annual town elections on
next Monday, are being held this week in
every town in the state. and the strength
and power of the American Protective Asso-
citation developed in them is not only aston
ishing but alarming to the leaders of the
old parties. This is noticeably so in the re-
publican caucuses, the managers of the ma
chine for many years being cast ruthlessly
aside by the efforts of the members of the
A. z. A.
One conspicuous example of this was the
opposition to r. Jay Walsh in the Green
witch republican caucus last night. He is
one of the leading and bright young repub-
licans of the state; was secretary of state
when Morgan G. Buckley was governor. is
at present Judge of a criminal court and
president Of the local bank. He has been
the controlling political spirit in Green
witch for ten years. and any candidate he
favored was almost as good as elected.
Yet in the caucus last night he found that
his power in republican caucuses was on the
wane. The members of the A. p. A. had
decided on the candidates and nominated
them.
All over the state the same conditions
have prevailed and the professional politi-
clans are troubled and seeking some meth
eds to destroy or weaken the power of the
A. +. A. Its work on next Monday will be
watched with interest not only by the
Roman Catholics, whom its members have
sworn to boycott from all political offices.
but the men at the head of the state politics
who make the deals, prepare the states and
solicit the campaign funds.
