Haydn'S Joke.

Giving concerts in London, where he
had an enormous success, he had no.

cially in the tranquil andante, the Ia
dies sitting in their chairs were sleep
ing. Il will give you something to
make you sleep better he said to him.
self He lost no time in writing 4 new
symphony, which began with 4 tran
quill andante. After much 'pianiS-
siino" all at once there came out the
whole orchestra forte with all the
bass drums, and after that the pianis-
simO came again. Having written this
composition Haydn rubbed his hands,
thinking about the effect of it, The re-
suit surpassed all his expectations; the
respectable matrons began TO sleep af-
ter the first soft sounds of the andante,
but suddenly-bum! And in the ranks
of the audience: OH All" The Ia
dies jumped from their chairs and were
perfectly awake; by the platform PA
pa Haydn" stood tranquil and beat
time, but from his fine smile nobody
could understand whether this was the
effect of inspiration or only joke.

There was quite stir among politicians
today about the Court House, discus
sing the political correspondence in Sat
urday's Baltimore Neps. There was
much speculation as to the writer; but
there was more truch than poetry in all
that was said, and the writer might have
gone a good deal further in his list Of
Office holders and Office seekers. Mr.. j.
G.. Bannon was somewhat under the
weather today, but will be on hand at
the political conference of Anne Arun-
del democrats in Baltimore tomorrow
night.
A number of Anne Arundel polite
ians will 60 to Baltimore tomorrow
where they will hold conference and
prepare resolutions to be presented TO
the convention on Wednesday.
1t is now definitely stated that the
compromise slate will be for county
clerk, DR.. George Wells; for State Sena-
tor, John &. Bannon; for States Attor-
ney, Robert Moss. The other offices
will be equally divided among the fac
tions. Senator Moss says he is not a
candidate for States Attorney, and will
support the present incumbent, Il. Z.
CAN'T. Senator Moss friends will in-
sist on his denomination for the Senate,
and will accept no other place on the
ticket. While the slate is being fixed
up by the politicians the people are
anxious to know where their considera-
tion comes in. They say the politicians
can have their little inning now, but
there's will come after awhile, and then
somebody will be left.
The Republicans, in the meantime,
are not saying much but no doubt are
doing a good deal of thinking.

Taken in Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have un-
dermined the whole system and given
disease strong foothold to cause much
suffering and even threaten death
Hoods SarDaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands OF cases which were thought
to lie incurable, and after a fair trial has
effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and joy to the afflicted.
Another important point about Hoods
Sarsaparilla is that its cures are perma-
nent, because they start from the solid
foundation of purified, vitalized and en-
riched blood. But it is not what we say
but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.
