French lady standing on the street In
pstonishment.
Soon afterward she called ON her
friend, and was received very coldly by
the French lady. As she did not know
Of any reason why the lady should be
offended with her. she pressed her TO tell
what was the matter.
"Have ! done anything to grieve

Anything TO grieve mel'' answered
the French lady. you meet me ON the
street, You ask me how / am, you do not
wait TO find out how / am, you pass ON,
and then you ask me whether you have
done anything TO grieve mei''
Then the American explained that it
is not customary for Americans to wait
for an answer to their inquiry, "How
do you do?" that they commonly utter
the words and pass on, or if they stop
to speak, at once begin to talk Of other
matters.
The French lady could hardly express
her establishment 1.-THE Americans do
many very, very strange things" she
said, but this is the strangest of ALP
The French, when they are of the de-
gree Of acquaintance that justifies in
quiry as to the health of another, stop
and hear all about it, and all about the
health Of the respective families When
all this information has been exchanged,
the two persons part with many adieux
and elaborate good wishes for each 9TH
er's continued health and happiness.
The Italians frequently embrace one
another in public places and shake
hands several times and commit one
another in parting to the care of God.
The Americans and the English are the
only people that question each other as
to their health without stopping to find
out anything about it.-Youth's Com

The POLICY Of worry.

II great government is intent on
some project of importance and is re-
sisted by another great government. it
tries to make itself unpleasant to that
government in every quarter of the
world, threatens its rival g plans, abuses
its rivals agents, and even condescends
to irritate its statesmen by otherwise
purposeless delays.
One state displeased with another will
try to prevent the subjects of the other
from obtaining concessions, or will
put on annoying little additions to its
tariff, or will try to defeat it at some
third court in obtaining some trifle upon
which its heart is supposed to be set. 1t
will raise embarrassing questions purely
for the sake of embarrassment. Will
forward arms to rebels or savages mere
ly in order to make its opponents ex-
petition more sanguinary or expensive,
or will stir up some small outlying
power to plead claims Of which 1t had
never previously thought.
Above all, an irritated government in
these days will turn on sort of press
tap, and while its accredited agents re.
main as impressive as before, will.

menaces which 40 years ago would have
been considered preludes TO war, and
would have drawn from a man like

ments, like Irish Nationalist. have
learned to regard worrying as part of
their stock in trade. London Spectator.

There are wallabies and wallabies,

The wallabies are next relatives TO the

Magazine how he hunted the wallabies
10 miles up the picturesque river, called
the Rhine Of the south by the Austria

writer had more sport after kangaroos.
"We had not, my companion and !,

were bowling to each other, the kangaroo

men. The convention was brought to
nominate Mason and Robinson on an ap-
peal for fair consideration from the Han
cock delegation.
The convention developed one of the
hyeliest fights In years. The contest, al
though not openly alluded to until late
in the proceedings. was over Pingree.
Hancock had sent solid Pingree delega-
ton; Portage i've out OF six CbasseIl her
two, and Torch Lake three out OF FIVE.
These seventeen voted together, while the
rest concentrated on the nominee voted
Tor by the Calumet delegation, which, ac-
cording to an agreement, voted first. It
was only the appeal for fair play and the
policy OF sending split delegation when
this county has a candidate for State
Office, that gave the Pingree delegation
any show at all.

SPARKMAN DOESN'T SCARE
Cheeky Attempt TO lntimidate
DeCatur's Postmaster.
HIS DEFENSE OF DEMOCRATS
Reported by lnformer Mclver to the Post
master General.
WHO is THIS REFoRMER, ANYWAY !?
tice" McIver Is Trying to Run the
Postoff1ce Department as Well as
the Dep lrtment of Justice.

Decatur, March 17-(Special)-D. w.
McIver, whom the readers of the news
papers of Alabama will remember in an
ex parte manner attempted to malign
certain citizens of Decatur through the
columns of the Montgomery Advertiser
a few days ago, wrote S. A Sparkman a
letter, enclosing clippings of the report
of Morgan county's primaries from the
Advertiser and telling Mr. Sparkman
that his (Sparkman's) letter defending
the good names of the managers of said
primaries, which appeared in the State
Herald last Sunday, had been referred
to the postmaster general.
This appears to be the hugest joke of
the gubernatorial campaign, that this Mr.
McIver, who has taken it in hand to reg
ulate the affairs of Morgan county in an
ex part manner, would attempt to
squelch Mr.. Sparkman when that gentle
man does anything to defend his neigh
bors against McIver's charges, but | am
sure that "Chief Justice" McIver's
threats will not deter Mr.. Sparkman
from doing his duty toward his people
when they have been wantonly assailed.
Who is this great modern reformer in
the ranks of the democratic party of Ala
bama (McIver) any way? He appears to
have grown up all of sudden to manage
other peoples business and to suppress
free speech.
Such brazen affrontery as is manifested
by the Advertisers reporter ought and
will be Iebuked.
