YOUNG HOPEFUL'S IDEA OF GENERAL

General How~rd Carroll told good story yes
terday which illustrates childs idea of the word
general II appears that the General has an inter
estng little who asked him one day at the
time of the Brooklyn trolley strike:i
Are you real general
Yes my son. Why do you ask
Well my grandfather was a real general, and
he was killed in the war
But" said General Carroll, There is no war
now"
NO" said the little hopeful but you could go 10
Brooklyn and get killed with brick.
And the General does not know to this day
whether the child should have been censured for
advising his father how to end his days or praised
for his genuine patriotism

The eminent English lawyer. Sir E1ward Clarke.
was placed in unpleasant situation recently.
There has been a discussion between barrsters and
solicitors TO whether counsel performed their
duties properly. The president OF the Law Society,
In his annual address, said that barrlsers frequently
retained fees which had been paid them. although
they not in court when the cases were called,
and did present the argument for which they
had been paid. Sir Edward Clarke, formerly So
lcitor-General and OF the most eminent OF
English lawyers, in a public address. alluded to
this statement and thought it unjust. He be-
either appeared the brief returned In time
for other counsel to be retained well-known
lctor referred ir letter TO THE London Times" to
the remarks OF Sir Edward Clarke. aud suggested
that he could hardly have made the statement
reported. because he must have been aware of al
least case I'm which fee hal not been returned.
although the expected service had not been rendered
He then alluded 10 case In which he had paid
leading member OF the bar n large fee TO argue
appeal but when the day arrived, the counsel was
not in court and yet the fee had not been
turned Sir Edward Clarke. TO whom evident
allusion made in the recital OF this circum-
stance, answered in subsequent issue of The
Times" explaining that he had been engaged else
where on that dav and the junior counsel had
gued the case. He explained his failure to return
the fee by saying that It's return had not been
asked He accordingly sent check for the fee
which he had received.

HOW THEY DIFFER.
Man a Creature of Habits: Woman Ctil.
ICES Anything Tint is Handy.

ICES Anything mat rs Nunuy.
From Lippincott's Magazine,
Man Is a creature of asst iron habits;
woman adapts herself to circum-
stances: this is the foundation Of the
moral difference between them.
A man does not attempt to drive a
nail unless he has a hammer; a woman
does not hesitate to utilize anything,
from the heel of a boot to the back of q
brush.
A man considers a cork-screw abso-
lutcly necessary to open a bottle; n wo-
MAJ attempts to extract the cork with
the scissors; if she does not succeed
readily she pushes the cork in the bot
tie. since the essential thing is to get at
the fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which a
MAJ puts n razor; a m employs it
for a ~chiropodist's purposes.
When q man writes everything must
be in apple-pie order; pen, p and
ink must be just so, a profound silence
must reign while he accomplishes this
important function. A woman gets
any sheet of paper, tears 1t perhaps
from a book or PORTFOLIO. sharpens a
pencil with the scissors, puts the paper
on IN old atlas, crosses her feet, bal
anceS herself OF her chair, and confides
her thoughts to paper, changing from
pencil to pen Inc vice versa from time
10 tlIne, IOT uOcS sne care IL the chill
dren romp or the cook comes to speak
to her.
A man storms if the blotting-paper is
not conveniently near; q woman dries
the ink by blowing on it, waving the
paper in h air or holding it near a
lamp or fire.
A man drops a letter unhesitatingly
in the box; a re-reads the ad-
dress, assures herself that the envelope
Is sealed, the stamp secured, and then
throws it violently into the box.
A man can cut a book only with a
pap~er-cutter; q woman deftly inserts a
hair-pin II the book is cut.
To a man goodbye" signifies the end
of a conversation and the moment of
his departure; for a woman 1t is the be-
ginning of a new chapter. for 1t is just
when they are taking leave Of each
other that women think of the most
important topics of conversation.
A uni ransacks her brain trying
to mend a broken object: a nan puts it
aside n forgets that for which there
Is no remedy. Which Is the superior?

viaduct would land on either side and
also other facts established by his SUR
vey. The only apparent objection to the
scheme is the possible big bill of da:r-
ages ii will entail. For 1000 feet on the
Providence side the properties will be
damaged to a great extent. On the
Hyde Park side of the tracks the dam
age will not amount to much and as the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company owns all the property affected
1t is likely that the city will not be
called upon to settle for any damages at
all. Mr.. Lauer assured the committee
that the cost of the viaduct would not
be over $500 0 and as the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company
and the Scranton Traction cor any are
each willing to pay ore-third of the
cost the city viii have only $40, GOO ex-
pense for construction.
The committee advised Mr.. Lauer to
see the property holders or the Provl-
dence side of the tracks and, IL they
can be induced to accept nominal dam
ages, bring In an ordnance for the via
duct in tire for the estimate commit
tees consideration.
