An Opportunity for Business.

over his shoulder called at the side gate
of a house on Alfred street, where the
colored woman was hanging out the
family washing.
NO use to oum in yere." called the
woman as she fished shirt from the
hanging it up.
The man entered the yard, however,
and. walking straight up to her. he said :
II am not here to see the woman of the
house."
"Oh. ye ain't?"
Nom. Pm here to see the entaneous
colored lady who condescends to do the
washing for tho distinctive white woman
who lives here. Will the aforesaid col
ored lady do me the honor to look at this
So rug, which is sold for so cents a week
on the installment plan?"
A bland smile came to her face as she
hung up the shirt. pinned it fast by the
sleeves and dried her hands on her apron.
Then she went closer to him and said:
DE afo'said cull'd lady has got all de

THE THIRD TERM.
What Has Been Thought of 1t FOL
Many Years.

If ever there was a President since
Washington who could have had a third
term for the asking it was James Monroe.
He was the hero of the EZRA of good feel
ing" His popularity at the end OF his
first term was 50 great that he was re-
elected practically without opposition,
there being but one electoral vote against
him in the entire country.
The events of his seoond term tended
only to the increase of this popularity.
All that he did was approved. All that
happened commended him. If a third
term had been thought of by the people
as fit and proper they would almost cer-
tainly have decreed it for Monroe, if tor
no other reason to avoid the mad and
tween John Quincy Adams, Andrew
Jackson, Henry Clay, William II. Craw-
ford and John G. Calhoun.
But by this time the third-term idea
seems TO have generally been put aside,
though without any formulated doctrine
on the subject. Washington, as we have
seen, had notified the country that he
would not accept third term, his
avowed reason being his WEAKNESS of
public service. his actual reasons includ-
ing, perhaps, the prospects of strenuous
and bitter opposition, with a possible de-
feat at the end. John Adams had had
but one term. Jefferson had expressed
himself as unwilling to accept third
term. But this expression was made in a
private letter before his second inaugura-
lion and so may be regarded AS what the
lawyers call surplusage. Jefferson had
in fact no opportunity to decline third
term, though he had several small third
term nominations in New England, W here
his party was in the minority.
Madison, according to his biograph-
ers, was as eager to get out of office at the
i L.. l. L.
get into it, SO that his course bears no re-
lation and reflects no light on the history
OF the popular attitude towards the third
term idea.
But in Monroe's case we have one fact
of special significance and importance.
AT the very beginning OF his second term,
when there was practically nothing but
admiration and support for him any
where. there began al earnest discussion
as to his successor. Five candidates
were eagerly pressed for the place, three
of them being members of his own Cabi-
net. Y ct il does not seem to have occurred
to any of them that the man who had
Just been elected for q second term by the
practically unanimous voice of the coun-
try, might be proper person to elect for
third term.
This fact is historically significant. It
seems to mean that the people had ac-
cepted it as principle that no President
was to be elected for third term. twas
quietly taken for granted as a matter of
course, though without any particular
reference to the Washington tradition or
any avowed dread of "Casarism,u that
Mr.. Monroe was not again to he candi-
date, and that therefore his Cabinet Off
GERS, the members of his political house
hold. might contend with each other for
the place without thought of disloyalty
to their chief.
This Is the very strongest proof we
have anywhere in history that the anti
third-term tradition had become con-
trolling force during the first quarter of
! the century.-N. y. World.

HELPING BUFF ALONG.
The Stranger Was So Cordial That
Buff Accepted an Invitation.


Buff Accepted an Invitation.
"The most genial fellow l ever met"
said Dave Burlington OF Brookville the
other day, was a man in a one-hOrse
wagon. l never saw him before in my
life that / know OF, but he knew me. He
caught up to me just above the iron
bridge that leads to the depot. The
bridge was being repaired and horses and
vehicles had to ford the stream, while
foot passengers could pick their way
across on planks.
"'Hello, Buff be said cheeriIy. Get
in and pll haul you over

tinued Burlington, "but he greeted me
with such hearty cordiality that L ac-
cepted his invitation. He drove into the
water, and not knowing exactly where
the best fording place was. he soon got
in up to the hubs, and then over the
wagon bed.
".Buff, old boy, you'll have to hold
your feet upv he said.
Then the wagon bed was submerged,
and the water came over the seat.
"'Buff, old boy-guess you'll have to
stand up
81 stood up.
"rhe fellow by this time had lost his
bearings completely. and we went into a
plout hole about ten feet deep. and the
horse had 10 swim. AS the wagon box
sank beneath the water he yelled with
the same cheerful voice:
Bluff, old boy, L guess you'll have to
SWIM
1--WE both swan out. and after the fel-
low had his horse safely landed on the
other side he said, as he climbed back
into the wagon:
"'Well, Buff, old boy, you got wet,
didn't you? Goodby, Buff. old boy

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The Register OF
the Treasury received package through
the United States Express Company ad-
dressed to the Hon. Register of the

the envelope containing the package was
written "Bouds, value $1,000" In the
upper left-hand corner appeared the fol-
lowing: Return III ten days to August

DlagonaiIy across the envelope was writ

The Register was astonished when he
opened the package to find that Mr..

" alue 9l,OOO,' he secured their trans
mission 10 Washington for 10 cents,
whereas II be had put the true value on
the package the charges would have been

the matter TO The agents of the United
States Express Company, and it is kelly
that officials OF The company will call
upon tho state of Minnesota to make good
the difference between the amount
charged and the value for $500, 900. Should
the State officials refuse to pay this differ :

ROYAL BAKING POWDER
ABSOLUTELY PURE

the fiatlands. beautiful sight is pre-
sented. When the blossoms disappear
aud the vegetable approaches maturity,
the little striped backed, sheldshaped
beetle enters upon its destructive mis-
! sion. 1t first made its appearance in the
far West as far back as 1859. since which
time IL has gradually worked its way
Eastward and into Canada, until there is
no potato patch in America that does
not suffer more or less from its ravages
every summer.
The potato farmers of Long Island have
fought this voraclous pest with paris
green for years with more or less success.
Sometimes they have been assisted by
the natural enemies of the beetle, of
which there are dozen varieties, all
flies. that lay eggs upon the destroyer OF
the potato, ana the Larvae soon work out
his ruin.
The usually wet weather this summer
has enabled the potato bug to thrive in a
remarkable way, They are not, strictly
speaking, migratory. in the sense that
the grashopper is. More like the army
worm, they travel only in search of more
plentiful food, and in flight from ene-
mics. They travel at night, crawling
and flying. but do not make long jour
neys. a quarter of mile is long trip
for the striped little pest.
A WOrtd reporter who rode up from
Coney Island one day last week on Sea
Beach locomotive describes the mass OF
beetles as being noisome, uncanny
looking carpet, that moved across the
tracks in the glare of the locomotive head

the engine approached thousands of them
took TO the wing, but they were only a
small percentage of the whole. The
drivers of the locomotive soon became
Shiny with the crushed bodies of the in
sects. the rails became slippery, and the
engineer was obliged to drop sand con-
stantly. On one heavy grade the train
came TO standstill, and the sand-box
was emptied Of its contents in vain.
A run was made back for a mile, more
sand was taken aboard, and then the
train, getting the impetus of full head
