sLet Observation with extensive view.
Survey mankind from China to Peru;
Remark each anxious toll each eager strife.
And watch the busy scenes OF crowded life."
How do you take your cider? With
or without red pepper? The Observer
was introduced to a glass OF this season 8
brew and the introducer suggested the
addition OF red pepper; Why! Well req
stomach-thats what the man told the
Observer.
The Observer has since learned, how
ever, that the red pepper is resorted TO by
the boys up ia the country not on account
OF any solicituds for the stomach
but because 1t gives the cider
an agreeable gimp and vigor. In other
words, il gives TO the cider q semblance of
carpet-tack effect OF tavern whiskey
which the worthy farmer scorns to drink
but likes to get the effect, just the same,
through the red pepper and cider com
binstion.
The Observer clips the following from q
Denver newspaper:
"The marriage OF Miss Louise Bethel
Sneed and Mr.. Crawford Hill OF this city
Is announced for Jan. 1. This marriage
will be OF great interest all over the South
east and West. Miss 5need's family Is
one Of the oldest, most aristocratic and
best known Of Virginia. She has reigned
not orly as q belle of Tennessee, but of
the entire South, and her beauty has
been heralded wherever she went. In
commenting upon the engagement, The
Com mercial OF Mempis says: Mr.. Hill
Is member of one of the Oldest and
wealthiest femilies OF the West. He is
prominent In business and social circles
OF Denver, and his father, ex- United
States Senator Hill, is many times a
millionaire.' Miss Sneed was q guest OF
Captain Bethel during the summer and
while in Denver ma clnaDy warm friends.
Mr.. Hill IL well known IN Providence.
He is a graduate of Brown University, as
his fat her, Senator Hill, was before aim.
Senator Hili's wife was Miss Hale OF
Providence, believe.
The Observer hears another good elec-
tion bet story.
1t appears that Bjones, of the firm OF
Bjones & Smith OF Providence, bet q
nice silk hat with certain Mr.. Brown,
and Bjones won.
So Brown struck Smith, told him about
the wager with his partner, and asked con-
fidentially for the size OF Bjones' hat
band. And Smith promptly told him that
BIones wore 7h tile.
In due time a package was landed at the
office of Bjones & Smith, addressed to
Bjones, and as the recipient opened 1t up
and disclosed the new tile which Brown
"A 81. H. Ill
tion and called Smitt over TO see.
The hat certainly was q beauty, Smith
allowed.
Imagine the disappointment and dis
gust OF bjones, however, when he clspped
the dicer on his head and IL slipped down
over his ears and across mis- nose!
"Grest Scott" he exclsimed, "What in
for anyhow? Look at i'll" he gasped;
"seven--and-one-eig / never
put on bigger than 81 in my life. What
was he thinking Of, anywayW
"Let me see the hat" suggested Smith,
sympst hetically. And Smith took the
hat, looked at the inside, smoothed his
handkerchief gently around the outside,
studied IL critically from various points of
view, and, finally, with fsr-o1f expression
in his eyes, adjusted 1t on his head.
"Why," he exclaimed, cit Just fits noe. I"
I" 1t does-does IL said the DISCUS ed
Bjones. "Well, you may as well keep it,"
The Observer learns that the opening Of
the Talma Clubs ninth season next Tues
day will be especially notable because the
performance that evening will be the
Tooth. 1t appeares that 1t il rare for
amateur dramatic organizations to
exist long enough 10 reach
one hundredth performance and per-
haps the Talma Club Is unique in this rel
spect in New England. IL certainly IA
Rhode Island. The club will produce
"Caste" on this OCCASION.
