Il had a sincere hope that General
Bragg would be nominated. I believe
he would have been the man for the

for him."
When asked what he proposed to do
during the campaign Senator Palmer
replied that he vas unable to talk intel
ligently yet Upon the subject. This
thing has come upon me so suddenly
that 1t is impossible for M to say just
what we shall do or how we shall do It,"
continued the senator. That we shall
make an active campaign goes without
saying. Our platform is one upon which
every true democrat can stand"
Senator Palmer expects to participate
in h campaign as freely as possible,
but what results would come from yes

HOLD YOUR KNIFE FLAT"
How to Cut Out a Newspaper Scrap When
You Have nu Scissors.

Excuse me, my dear, said the nice
old lady in the next seat, leaning for
ward as she touched the girl, excuse
me but hold your knife fat"
The girl had bccn trying to cut an
knife, and the blade, which was not
very keen-edgcd, had made a jagged
rent here and n crooked cash that way,
and had finally come to IL stop in Il
tangle of wrinkled paper. 1t was at
this moment that the Old lady had told
the girl to hold her knife Hat.
The girl co!ored rs she felt the touch
ON her arm. but on CHANGING round and
seeing the pretty gray curIs. and the
pleasant eyes behind the gold trimmed
spectacies. the blush was lost in a smile.
Il don't quite understand" she said.
Then let me show you, my dear"
said the nice old lady. Let me have
the paper and knife for IL moment.
Now Well suppose that this is the piece
you wish to cut out. First make little
downward jaL with the point of the
knife alongside the column mark so.
Then put in the blade so, holding the
handle of the knife as Hat against the
paper rs you can conveniently get it.
You will find now that although this
blade is dreadfully dull, you can Il
straight down the whole length of the
paragraph. Then bring the knife blade
Clearly around tho bottom, carry ii up
the side and finish along the Top, aud
there you have the scrap easily cut out
and without a tear or a break. Just
try yourself. now"
The girl took up her cutting ont work
where she had left it off, and soon had
the paragraph loose in her hand and
with quite a true edge to 1t.
"Its about a friend of mine getting
married" said the girl. making a little
wad of the item and tucking it into her
purse.
That's all right" said the nice old
lady, "we've all got to come TO it some
day, my dear, or all hope to, anyway.
Here is your knife"
THANK you, and thank you for show
ing me how to use it" said the girl.
Don't mention it, my DEAR" said the
nice old lady, although, as my grand
son says. lbs q trick wortti Knowing
And l may just as well tell you that no
matter if your knife were as keen as a
razor or dull as--well, dull as this-you
can always cut out a piece from a news

THE CAT WAS rAlLLEss.

Her as q Mascot.

Smiley Walker is the imperturbable
advance agent for Wilson Barrett. He
takes life calmly and cheerfully in hap
Ply accordance with the suggestion of
his front name. But yesterday after
noon his spirit was ruffled. He was sit
ting in Manager Prior's office at the
Schiller Theater when n man he had
never seen before asked for Mr.. Bar
rett's manager. Mr.. Walker admitted
that he answered TO that description.

stranger asked.
Certainly" replied Mr.. Walker;
"that's what I'm here for. You keep n
grocery or a saloon on Milwaukee ave-
nue., l suppose, and want some litho-
graphs?"
"Not at all" said the stranger. "I've
got something better than that. 1t will
bring you great luck sure"
"What is itP"
IA cat that" began the stranger.
"That will do" broke in Mr.. Walker;
I'VE carry a COW, some chickens aud
two geese, but we haven't any call for
cats"
"But this cat hasn't any tall"
Il don't care if she has two tails or
none. We've no use for n cat at all.
It's absurd"
And yet you are giving The Mapx-
man, and advertise that it is a real
istic picture of life in the Isle of Man.
Don't you know that Manx cats arc
born without tails, and how on earth
can you make the public realize the at
mosphcre without u cat true to naturep

cago, and for two seats Tm-"
But MI. Walker pushed the Manxman
out and locked the Chicago
Herald.
A Slight Mistake.
A joke is told Of one of cur neighbors,
which deserves Immortality. Brig.
Gen. Spinola early in the war was sta

under him, and as he was one OF those
mushroom commanders whom the stress
of civil war had called up from civil
life, he naturally enough. ~intrusted the
routine duty and drilling of the brigade
to n major detailed for the purpose.
One day Spinola's superior in command
made an inspection, after which he
bluntly told the brigadier that tho men
we're not sufficiently up in %tnctics and
manual. Spinola summoned the major
and questioned him, limited that he was
not doing his duty, and finally, as u
test question, asked him if. in the event
of q fight. the brigade should capture a
number of prisoners. what he would do
with themP
The major replied to the effect that
he would get them to the rear, and, 4
possible, to Washington.
"There you arc all wrong. This
book" handing him Scott's "1nfantry
Tactics, says that prisoners should
DO placed 80 PAGES upon the right-in

The major protested against this, and
finally, urged by his superior, took the
volume to his quarters to read.
Tho next morning he met the general
