THE CHEWING GUM FACE.
Certiaed-Check Face Seems to be the
Best Artificial Countenance.

CertiHed-Check Face Seems to be the
Best Artificial Countenance.
The chewing gum face is the latest
scientific discovery, and it is argued by
the discoverer that no one who chews
gum can possibly be beautiful. This
will not lave any influence upon the
homely, but to actresses and others
who imagine they have good looks that
should not be wantonly chewed away
it should prove n deterrent. Pes.-
chance the ceaseless chewing habit of
the dromedary, who chews as fastid-
iously and industriously upon pen-
nut as upon squash, is the real cause
of that useful quadruped's haggarl,
guant and infinite LONELINESS. We
should think that smoking cheap ci-
gars, through the incessant hard puff
ing devolved on the smoker, would alb
normally develop his masseter muscles
and give him a tobacco face that should
prove instrumental in securing for him
the position of cigar store Indian.
We will not allude to the cigarette
face, says Truth, or any other face
that, like the chewing gum face, is a
false face, inasmuch as it is not a
natural face. A happy, well-fed, con-
tented-looking man. who is the picture
of health, is the man with certified
check face. From the constant hand
ling of certified checks drawn in his
favor his face becomes sort of paipi-
tant rose garden. This is so much bet
ter than the chewing gum face that we
wear it more from preference than
from force of circumstances

The polite stranger who called to

alarm as he heard some man who was
just leaving the room complaining at
a terrible rate. He was roasting the

from editor to devil, and calling down
all sorts of maledict:ons upon the heads
of everybody connected with the office.
Don't be alarmed" said The city
editor, as he drew a match from his
pocket and asked the stranger for q
cigar. "That's one of the most promi-
nent and well-llnown citizens Of Hous-
ton. You see. we had man try to in.

All has been said that is necessary to

ed The latest figure on the cost of

decisive that they are correct.
The excessive charges of private cor
porations in these matters is shown in
the figures in the circular recently is
sued by the Committee of Council.
Fairfield, Iowa, for instance, paid un-
der private ownership $500 per year
for each light, but after the city got
control the cost was only SO 90 and
that city is a long distance from the
coal banks.
Boston is struggling in the grasp of
a company, which charges S127OO for

sentiment in Boston to induce the peo-
pie to rise up in their might and take
control of their own lighting, which it

THE CONCERT.


The Marietta Orchestra Concert is
over and what u musical treat it was
too. Never have II body of home folks
gone to greater pains in getting up an
entertainment or to greater victory
than their AT tistic capture of a critical
audience last night No words but
those of praise can be said of the Or
chestras work of last night-it was
superb.
Mrs. w. NJ. Hart recited graceful
pretty selection "Minuet." Mrs. Hart
has appeared many times before. but
never to better advantage than last
night She gave great pleasure
Mrs. Ebinger in vocal solo was q
welcome entertainer. She sang very
we'll two difficult selections which
were very we'll received.
Carl Becker's flute solo was pretty
thing, q graceful light caprice" and
was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Bellstedt is a cornetist of the
first water and satisfied Mariettr that
he is an artist.
Mr.. Arnold himself was in fine form
and in a masterly manner drew forth
from the violin the most grateful mel.
ody. Arnold showed his own folks last
night what he can do. He certainly
has a fine command of the violin and
his faculty for knowing music need not
be told. We've known it since we first
knew Mr.. Arnold. We are sorry the
Orchestra did not make money out of
their little tour. 1t was deserving of
great things.

An Unpopular Match.

The betrotha! of Princess Maud to
her Danish first cousin. who is three
years her junior and not in the line of
succession, is extremely unpopular
everywhere in England. She is the
one member of the Marlborough house
family who is reputed to be above
mediocrity mentally. and the public
had the 'iea that she would do some
thing worth while in the marriage
market. Her choice is so disappoint-
ing from every point of view that some
excuse seems to be necessary. The
story has been started that her be-
trothed is Russia's secret choice for the
Bulgarian throne, and that Ferdinand
is to be frozen out to make room for
him this winter.

A MEXICAN CEMETERY.
Where Graves Are Rented at the Rate of
One Dollar Per Month


A correspondent describes the queer
cemetery of the Mexican village of
Guanaiuato. There is hardly room in,
Guanajuato for the living, so it be-
hooves her people to exercise rigid econ
olny in the disposition of her dead.
The burial place is on the top of u
steep hill. which ovcrlooks the city,
and consists of an area inclosed by what
appears from the outside to be high
wall, but which discovers itself from
within to be receptacle for bodies,
which are placed in tiers, much as the
confines of the native valleys compel
them to live. Each compartment in
the wall is large enough to admit one
coffin, and is rented for one dollar
per month The poor people are bur-
ied.in the ground without the formality
of coffin. though one is usually rent
ed, in which the body is conveyed to the
grave. AS there are not graves enough
to go around, whenever new one is
needed a previous tenant must be dis
turbed, and this likewise happens when
tenants rent is not promptly paid in
advance. The body is then removed
from it's place in the mausoleuln, or
eXhumed. as the case may be. and the
bones are thrown into the basement
below.

This Is Another Story,

All sorts of stories have been circu-
lated over the alleged "nearness' of
John Jacob Astor. 1t has been fire.
quently said he is the thriftiest Astor of
the line. These stories may or may not
be true, but Assemblyman John b.
Stanchfield, of New York, tells quite a
different story about Mr.. Astor. 1t oc-
Cured on the recent trip of Gov. Nor
ton and his staff to the Atlanta eXposi-
ton. A number OF democratic legis-
lators. including Mr.. Stanchfeld and
Senator Jacob A. Cantor, went along.
AS the train swung along towards At
lanta the republicans aboard the train
thought it would be n fine thing for
them to give the governor a send-off in
Atlanta. They wanted funds for fire
works and bands and refrest ments
Mr.. Stanchfield spoke to Mr.. Astor, and
without a muruiur he pulled out hi,
pocketbook and in second Mr.. Stanch-
field had a check for $4,000.

GHOST OBJECTED.
Wouldn't Keep Quiet Until the House
Was Moved.

"ouiuho heep quiet Until the House
Was Moved.
1t is told in the Washington Star that
n correspondent had occasion to stop
all night in a West Virginia cabin,
where he had been entertained year
before. The cabin at his first visit had
faced the road; it now occupied posi-
ton at a considerable distance from
the highway and faced the other di-
rection. When asked about the change
the owner of the cabin said:
"Had ter make it. Dad made sech a
fuss bout it, my wife lowed we'd hey
ter move back. Yo' see, she never
knowed the ole man in his lifetime,
an she didn' like bein' pestercd by him
20 var after he wor dead"
How was that?" inquired the cor
respondent.
"Waal, the house uster be hyar, fore
thar war any road, an when dad died
we buried i'm over yonder by them
oaks. The road war cut through, an
we moved the house over dads grave.
He never had cut up none, though he
war a great cavorter when he lived,
but when we moved the house he uster
come every night to Our bed an try
to sw'ar at me-only he couldn't talk.
1t kin o. tickled me TO see the ole man
when he couldn't swar, but my wife
Kicked erbout it an moved the cabin

lie was sent up to The third floor.
Later in the evening he went out, and
didn't come back till midnight. He
Lad evidently been enjoying himself.
His breath smelled of whisky. He
went up to his room, and that was the
last seen of him until early in the morn
ing, when boy went to call him for his
train. The boy got no answer when he
knocked on the door. and he opened
it and walked in. The folding-bed had
not been let down. The boy had to
look about for moment or two be-
fore he discovered the old man. Then
lie heard a husky voice from up near
the ceiling somewhere. He looked up,
and there was the guest curled up on
top of the he'd, rubbing his eyes. He
was fully dressed, with the exception
of his big cowhide boots, which were
standing on the floor.
Say, mister" inquired the boy, "why
didn't yer get into bed?"
"B'gosh!" shouted the man, angrily,
There amt no bed. Here I've been

board all night without wink of sleep.

farmer was obdurate and gave no salts
faction that he would ever pay the note.
Finally the collector said: "NNell, I'll
have to take the II cows named in the

a mortgage on II cows on this farm"
"Why, yes, l have" And the collector
pulled out copy of the mortgage and
