A Slight Mistake.

There never was nicer man than Col
Jones, remarked the old gentleman on
the hotel piazza to a group of his fellow
Nirginians. says the New York World.
He was as gentle as a woman and as
soft as silk, with sly little way of get
ting at things that was perfectly ire
sistible. His first born, whom he always
called Jimmie, was a great faVorite of
his fathers and was not unlike him in
many respects; and the old gentleman
humored him in everything until Jimmie
took a notion to get married. He was
only is, and his father objected on ac-
count of his youth. Jimmie argued day
after day with his father, but the old man
stood him out and finally the boy inves-
tigated the family Bible and made him
self two years older by the record. Then
he went after his father again
" But, my boy said the colonel insist
emily, 1 tell you IL must not be until you
are older. 1 have no other objection, and
it will be all right If you will only wait
How long must l waltz" asked Jim
mic guilelessy.
:. Well, say until you are 20
Why. father said Jimmie exultant-
ly, I am that old now.
=" oh, no. my boy. you are only 49,
" But l tell you ! am.
81 think not, Jimmie
" You'll believe the Bible, won't you?''
" Always replied the colonel reverent-
ly, though there was twinkle in his eye.
Then I'll show you that l am 90. and
James went after the record and brought
II back in triumph. There he said,
spreading il on his fathers knees. look
The colonel took out his glasses, care
fully wiped them, put them on deliber-
ately, and consulted the page before him.
What do you say to that?' questioned
the boy eagerly.
It's all right, Jimmie; it's all right by
the figures he responded in tone of sad
ness
Then / may get married2'
Yes, Jimmie almost sobbed the col
onel, but this is a sad day for your pa
rents
Why. father said Jimmie, 1T isn't SO
| bad as all that. I'm going to live right
| by you when I'm married.
" 1t isn't that, Jimmie; it isn't that
| sighed the father it's the record in the
| sacred book. Look at the date of your
| birth, and then turn back to the page
where the marriages are recorded and you
| will find that the date of your parents
marriage is more than a year later than
| your first birthday. That's what hurts
| me, Jimmie and the colonel buried his
| face in his handkerchief.
"Jimmie's countenance showed that he
had put his foot in it, He watched his
father for minute and then he broke out
| laughing.
g That's all right, pop he said, and
| I'll wait till I'm p or 81, If you say so,
! but the colonel had carried his point and
was willing to make concessions

Stated His Price.

In certain ready-made clothing shops
the most valuable salesman is not the
one who can sell coat TO a man who
wishes to buy, but the one who can sell
a coat to the man who doesn't want to
buy. A witness who was giving evidence
in an East London court must have been
a salesman. He was testifying against a
man who had stolen pair of pantaloons
from his shop.
How much are the trousers worth?'
asked the magistrate.
well, your worship" responded the
witness, lit depends on the man who
wants to buy them. / sell them to one
man for 30s, to another for 25s, but you
can have them for 23s Cd
Sir" responded mis- honor, in a dis
gusted tone, Il want you to tell me what
those trousers are worth.
"Ah, your worship" said the witness,

IF you don't tell me the exact value of
those trousers l will send you to Jail for
contempt of court"

By this time the spectators were con-
vulsed with laughter. and the magistrate
himself was obliged to forget his disgu st
and join heartily in the laugh. He did
not buy the trousers, however.

The Demana for scbooI HOUSES.

The board Of education announced at
its last meeting that a new school house
would be built at once. A new school
house in this city is certainly needed.
In fact, more than one is
needed. At the beginning Or
each school year the same old story
is told. namely. that there are many more
children who want to enter the schools
than can be accommodated.
The school board seems to be slower
about building school houses than any
thing else. The lack of money is the
excuse, and it is a valid one. but there
does not seem to be any lack Of money
to provide teachers for the high school
when they are needed. An additional
teacher was provided for one of the de-
partments of the high school at a recent
meeting of the school board. We do not
doubt that the teacher is needed. but the
question is, should well advanced chill
dren be provided with teachers while chill
dren who are just ready to enter school
are not provided with school houses? Is
it better policy to provide teachers for
children who have already had many Of
the benefits of the schools before provid-
ing school houses for children who have
had no such benefits at all?
1t may be said that the amount paid
for additional teachers in the high school
would not go very far toward building a
school house. No, it would not; but if it
were husbanded it would soon be suffi-
cient to build a school house.
We are not complaining of the board Of
education for what it is doing for the high
school, or any other one of the schools,
but we simply ask whether it is the bet
ter policy to provide the high school with
all the teachers it needs while there are
hundreds of children for whom there are
no school accommodations and no
teachers?
Savannah is not the only city in which
there is complaint of a lack of school
ROOM At the opening of the schools this
month there was a complaint of this sort
in nearly all the large cities. In New
York, Philadelphia. Pittsburg and other
cities there were thousands of children
who could not be accommodated in the
schools. One Of the leading papers Of Chi
cago stated that according to report. there
were 10000 children in that city who could
not be accommodated in the schools. The
report was probably exaggerated. Still,
there is no doubt that there are thousands
of children in Chicago who are deprived
of educational advantages because there
are not enough school houses to accommo-
al chi Of
is a condition of affairs that ought not
to exist in Chicago or any other city. in
every city there is enough money wasted
in one way and another to build all the
school houses needed.

Speculation and Gambling.
From the Galveston News CDem.)

The financial troubles of this country
are charged BILE not more to vicious legis-
lation and eXtravagances of government
than to the speculation and gambling in
which the American people have been led
dence, bonanza fevers and the boom dis
ease to indulge wildly The willingness of
creditors to trust irresponsible customers
and to make their bad debts out of good
customers has been a noticeable feature
of the American method of doing business.
This willingness coupled with the eager
ness of the unreliable buyer or borrower
to rake in everything in sight. has played
a master part in accomplishing the sum
of disturbance and distress 1t is crafty
ing to know that most OF the bankers, loan
agents and merchants of the country
evince a wholesome determination to quit
forever dalliance with all such spirits and
factors of trouble and disaster.

An Encouraging Sign.
From the New york Post (nd.l

1t is an encourag aging sign that in more
than one southern state democratic can
didates for the United States Senate are
announcing that they will make their can
vass on a sound-money platform, and that
the indications favor their success. One
recent illustration of this was the excel
lent open letter in which Gov O'Ferrall
of Virginia made clear and cogent argu-
ment against free coinage as the basis of
his appeal for poular support in his am
bition 10 succeed Senator Daniel. The term
of Senator Pugh of Alabama is approach
ing its end, and Congressman Clarke of the
Mobile district. who has been denounced
by the silverites as the worst gold-bug
in the state" has declared himself can
didate for the succession, and is receiv-
party press. Alabama is suffering sadly
from old-fogyism in her senatorial repre-
sentation. and il is greatly to be hoped
that she will not make the mistake in
Pugh's case that was committed in Nor
gan's, of giving a fourth term to man
who has outlived his capacity for useful
ness.

New Jerseys Elective Judiciary.
Springfield (Mass) Republican Dem.l

The last New Jersey legislature abolish
ed the court of common pleas, whose
judges were appointed by the governor
with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate, and substituted a county court sys-
tenn whose judges were to be elected by
the people. This act has now been declared
unconstitutional by the state supreme
court. AS the constitution requires that
the judges of the common pleas court shall
be appointed it is manifest, says the su-
preme court that the legislature cannot
escape this requirement merely by organ
izing a substitute system. Why the leg
islature should have thought differently
about il is less clear.

Have the fogs of England obscured Mr.
Crisp's vision? Some months ago he said
the democratic presidential nomination
would go TO a western man with a good
war record Now he is quoted as saying
to the New York interviewers that Mr..
Whitney is the coming man. When Mr..

clare that the time is not ripe to push the

The most potent individual political
force in the state of Texas is undoubt-
eddy Roger Quarles Mills. To Texas he
is about what Carlisle is to Kentucky
and Gordon is TO Georgia. He is great
ly admired and respected, and the
people delight to honor him. There IS
absolutely no question about his honesty
and his ability, and when he has settled
his mind with regard TO a political ques-
ton and announced his decision, thous-
ands of voters accept the decision IS
their own, because they know in all Ger
tainty that there were no Interior mo-
tives influencing their representatives de-
cision. Therefore, Senator Mills emphar-
&c declaration against the 16 to 1 free sill
yer coinage idea is matter of import
ance. and will have marked influence up
on the situation in Texas. The opposi-
ton TO the sound money idea in Texas IS
led by ex-senator Reagan. whose day of
usefulness Is pretty near over. and Gov.
Culberson, an ambitious young politician
anxious to be upon the side which APP
pears for the time to be the most power
ful. With such men as Mills leading the
sound money host, the influence of Gull
berson and Reagan will be rapidly dissi-
pated.

It appears that the Valkyrie people
were looking yesterday for some excuse
for not starting over the course. They
made no preparations for starting while
the course was clear and the time close
at hand, and seemed to be devoting them
selves TO a search for a grievance. 1t
may be doubted that Lord Dunraven will
go hunting for the Americas cup again.
