What Is Dirt?

Old DR.. Cooper used to say to his stu

little dirt, young gentlemen What is dirti
Why, nothing at all offensive when chem
ically viewed. Rub little alkan upon
that dirty grease spot on your coat, and ii
undergoes chemical change and becomes
soap; now rub it with q little water and
it disappears; it is neither grease, eoap,
water nor dirt.
HThat is not a very odorous pile of dirt
you observe there. Well, scatter little
gypsum over 1t, and it is no longer dirty
Everything you call dirt is worthy of your
notice as students of chemistry. Analyts
it-analyze 1t! 1t will oil separate into
very clear elements. Dirt makes corn, corn
makes bread and meat, and chat makes a
very sweet young lady that saw one Of
you kissing last night. So, after all, you
were kissing dirt, particularly if she
whitened her skin with chalk or fuller's
earth.
There is no telling, young gentlemen,
what is dirt, though may say that rub
bling such stuff upon the beautiful skin Of
young lady is a dirty practice. Pearl
powder is made of Misunderstanding but

A deaf and dumb man, named William
Wright, took pity on Dempsey on Satur-

need OF employment, and engaged him to
remove some furniture for him to the
house at No. 496 Bergen avenue Wright
had rented the second floor and intends
to move there by the frs t of the year.
Dempsey helped cart a load of goods on
Saturday afternoon and was to have

Frazier seized club. warded the blows
aimed at himsand succeeded in knocking
the harehet out OF his hands and throw

Dempsey made feint as if to draw q

Dempsey dashed to the window through
which he had entered Frazier started
after him, and reached the window just
as Dempsey jumped to the ground 20 feet
below In his haste the burglar gtripped
and in falling turned s9mersault, land
ing on his left leg, which Frazier could
hear snap. With groan, Dempsey,
holding the broken leg, tried to hop to
the basement door. Frazier dashed to the
street, found Policeman Thorne of the
Morrlsania station, and with him re.
turned to the house. Dempsey had faller
in a heap in the mud near the win dow
