SunhOWer Philosophy.

Every man who is not busy thinks he
is.
Never love any woman longer than a
day.
Every ten years an old joke is new
again.
Good nature is worth more to a man
than sense.
No man can work and eat peanuts at
the same time.
Not one person in 100 can pass room
without peeping in
SO many do their charity work by ad-
vising others to give.
Patience becomes habit with woman
quicker than with a man.
Even those who said they liked winter
are beginning to be bored.
1t is wonderful how many bad things a
good man can be guilty of.
1t is a question which is worse, hearing
or seeing a woman whistle.
You can't scare boy away from the
table by the thirteen superstition.
A man who can be led around by the
nose by a woman does not deserve any
better fate.
After a mans family is grown he
shows off to best advantage when sign
ing a check-Atchson Globe.

Mistaken Identity,

A lady who shared the late Kensing-

writes James Payn in the Illustrated

her road a woman respectfully dressed
asked her the way to the very square
in which she lived. Thinking this a GER
tain prelude to the usual stab with a
knife, the lady, With great presence of
mind, hit her jp.terrogator two violent
blows in the lace with the handle of her
umbrella, which put her to flight, and
ran home at the top of her speed. 1t was
an adventure of which she thought she
had some reason to be proud, though ii
rather upset her. She had advertised
for cook, and at 5 o'clock she was ex-
pecting a person to call upon her for the
situation She did not arrive, however

THE MARINE BAND.
A Dissatisfled Cornetist Raises a Small
Tempest.

Dfssatisf1ed Cornetist Raises a smaIl
Tempest.
An investigation is now In progress at
the marine barracks to determine whether
there is any foundation for a number OF
charges that have been made against Prof
Fanciulli. the leader of the Marine Band.
The charges were made by A. G. de Vim
cente. who formerly played the cornet in
the band. and grew out Of the recent trip
which the band made through the south
and southwest, and which was not as great
success from financial point Of view as
had been hoped.
The former cornetist was one Of those
who went with the band, and ever since
they got back he has been stirring up dis
cord where there should be only a concord
OF sweet sounds. He was discharged few
have taken a more definite form. The gist
OF them Is that on their recent trip the
men were not treated as well In the matter
Of accommodations as they had been led to
expect and that the leader had not dis
tributed among them as much of the coin
of the land as they thought was Justly due
them. He also claims that he, personally,
has always been Disseminated against In
the matter of outside engagements by
means of which the men are accustomed to
add to their rather meager incomes.
These troubles came to the ears Of Col.
Haywood, the commandant and he forth
with placed the matter in the hands of two
OF his subordinates to be sifted to the bot
tom. This action is invariably taken in
cases of trouble of any sort at the barracks,
and does not of itself, Col Haywood says
imply any slight or disrespect to the leader
OF the band The aggrieved DeVincente was
looked upon as rather dissatisfied italian
and was always affected by the jealousies
which are SO prevalent in musical organiza.
tions. In speaking of the matter today,
Col. Haywood said that while he had not
received formal notice from the two OH.
GERS who were making an examination, he
was satisfied that there was nothing in the
charges, and that the whole affair would
blow over or end in smoke,

Why the Ex-President VIII Refuse
Jury Cases I'm the Future.

Jury Cases i'm the Future.
Ever since ex-President Harrison an
rounced at the close of the Morrison will
case trial that he would not accept an en-
ployment again in jury case. there has
been much speculation regarding the cause
of his determination. Yesterday, according
to New York World dispatch, an attorney
employed in the Morrison case furnished a
reason which seems entirely credible and
which the friends of the ex-President do
not question.
According 20 this authority the immedi-
ate cause was a remark made by Congress
man Henry w. Johnson during the trial.
The court had ruled against Johnson and
in favor Of Harrison in a number Of in
stances, and Johns IN had become very rest
less. One day a question had been asked
a witness, and johnson interposed an OBJ
lection. The point was argued. and the
court decided that the question was proper,
and sustained Harrison.
IF the presence Of an ex-President in
this case" said johnson, excitedly, has
anything to do with the rulings Of the
court, 1t Is time that we know 1t,
Judge Black colored visibly under the i'm
putation, and was about to speak. when
Harrison rose. His face was flushed. but
his manner was quiet, as he said: There
is no ex-President in this case. ! am here
as a citizen of this state and in the dis
charge Of my duty, as see 1T, to my client,
and the fact that the people of my country
have seen cause to honor me should not be
brought into the case"
Johnson made an apology. which Harrt-
son did not notice. and the case proceeded.
Harrison was deeply mortified over the in
cident, and It was then, his friends say.
that he made up his mind not to appear
in jury trial again, where cases were
fought in bitterness and for effect before
the fury.
