A Racial Difference.

There can be no question that very
many of the differences, mental and
bodily, that exist between the aver
age Frenchman and the average Eng
lishman are caused by the distinct
methods Of education that prevail on
the different sides of the channel. You
would not like your sons only school
ing to be obtained in France. On the
other band, you have pretty distinc.
belief that if French boys were sent
over here young enough and put to good
English schools, they would grow up
into a very fair sort of Britons. A typ
ical story of the ways of French school
boys, with their ushers, is reported in
recent morning papers. Some spirits
had been smuggled into one Of the
dormitories-a thing, we fear, not al
together unknown in some English
establishments. It is even conceivable
that the English master who discovered
the bottle would have confiscated it to
his own use, but this would not have
been at the invitation Of his pupils
But the French pion in question was
contented to make one of the party, and
as he was not SO used to rum as his pu-
pills, he got SO terribly drunk that he
died. Happily for the French boys,
their compulsory military service gives
them an opportunity, later on for learn
ing little discipline. Pail Mall Ga.

vindicated the Law.

A friend of Representative Culberson
Of Texas related the following incident
when Mr.. Culberson was prosecuting
attorney" he said. "there was a crimi-
nal statute universally disregarded. The
indictment of well known man for
violation Of this law was secured through
the efforts of Mr.. Culberson, who prose-
cuted the case with more vigor than al
most any he had ever conducted, sue
ceeding in securing a conviction and
sentence to the penitentiary. Then be
left town, and no one knew where he
had gone until he and the prisoner, who
had been taken to the penitentiary, re-
turned together. Mr.. Culberson had
gone to the governor, obtained pardon.
and met the convict at the penitentiary
with it. The law had been indicated,
and there were no more violations of
that statute in Jefferson. '-Washingtou

Tho Thief Discovered.

An employee in an up town resort
has been held under suspicion for some
time, and came near losing his position,
on account of the antics of big tom
cat. For weeks the cash registers, when
counted at the close of the days bust
ness, showed deficit of several dollars,
and no clew could be had to explain the
mysterious absence of the money. The
proprietor, having great confidence in
his employee, was mystified, and not nm
Til few nights ago was the matter
made clear. While alone in the place,
after closing hours, the proprietor was
startled to hear the click of the regis
tiers, followed by repeated clicks, like
those of a novice upon the keys of pi-
ano. Looking up, he found his pet cat
playing upon the keys of tho register
and apparently enjoying the perform
ance as much as if he were a feline

MARRIAGE BROKERS.
The Schatchen Is an Important Person In
. New York Colony.

The Schatchen Is an Important Person In
New York Colony.
In wandering through the east eide
recently l learned that the schatchen is
an important and busy functionary in
that quarter. The sage who long tine
ago observed that marriages were made
in heaven evidently knew nothing about
this matchmaking official, who exer-
cises his wiles by day and by night in
the teeming Hebrew colony here. The
schatchen is 2 man OF middle age, suave
and we'll dressed, who promotes mar
riages. He works on strictly business
principles and don't bother his head
about Cupid or that peculiar sentiment
| called love. He is . diplomat, with .
visiting list longer than the most popu-
lar woman Of the Four Hundred. He
belongs 20 no end Of lodges and orders
| and speedily makes it his business to
know all about the families of his mar
| ried friends. He also acquaints himself
with the monetary worth of paterfamil-
las, and if the latter has any marriage
able sons or daughters he gets in his
work, first by delicate insinuaticn and
soon more openly.
| The schatcheE has = neatly engraved
card which announces his business, and
this he distributes literally. He also
believes i'll advertising. and his card is
conspicuously displayed in all the Yid-
dish newspapers. He brings young con-
pies together, ard if marriage ensues
he pockets commissions from both sides.
If the brides father gives her a dot Of
$500, the schatchen pockets $50. He
also strikes the bridegroom for 10 PEI
cent, hut is frequently compelled 10
compromise on 2ls. He often h.s q
dozen irons in the fire ct one time, and.
in the vernacular of the sport, plays of
one against the other. Sometimes hC
burns his fingers, as he not infrequently
plays leading role in the civil courts
but he fills a unique place il polyglo'
Gotham and has been the means Of
making any number Of bashful young
people happy for spot cash.-New Yorl
Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.

ONE of the results of the election is
that the two spectacular representa-
tives Of the A. p. A. on the floor of
the house have been retired. One Of
these is William H. Linton, the ac-
knowledged head Of the American
Protective Association. He has been
defeated in the Eighth Michigan dis
trict by Ferdinsnd ID. Brucker, of
Saginaw. 1t is not known whether
it was Mr.. Linton's connection with
the A. p. A. which brought about his
defeat or the preponderance of the
silver continent in his district. Mr..
Linton anticipated defeat. it is said !,
and wrote to friend limiting at
such. Mr.. Linton has been promi-
nent in the house from the begin
ming of his first term. He led the
first etfectual fght against sectariau
appropriations, and early this year
set things agcg by his opposition to
placing the Marquette statue in the
Statuary hall of the house. E1gene
j. Hainer, another leader of the
forces arrayed against sectarian ap
preparations in the house. and said
to be mem Der If the A. 2. A., was
defeated in the Fourth Nebraska dis.
trict By Judge w. l.. Stark. populist
Next tic Mr.. Linton, MIR. Hainer wa,
known as the leader of that element
opposed 10 any kind Of sectarian ap
preparation.

For 52 years j. II. Graft, the veuer-
able and popular Humane society Of
ficer of Newport, Ohio, has failed to
vote for a presidential candidate.
though he exercised the right of suf
frage at every other election. When
Henry Clay. the whig nominee, was
defeated for president in 1914 by
James X. Polk, the democratic nomi.
nee, Mr.. Graft made a solemn prom
ise that he would not vote for a pres.
idential candidate OF any party until
mau rs coed, true and able as the
immortal Clay had been nominated.
For half a century the various politi-
cal parties have presented their best
men as presidential candidates, but
none could tempt Mr.. Graft. as he
considered them interiors in one way
or another Of his ideal CLAY. Las.
Tuesday, however, Mr.. Graft walked
to the polls and gave his vot, to vii.
liam jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Graf said: Il have read Mr.
Bryan's life, his speeches and talked
with people who had personal &C
craftsmanship with him. l learned
that none were purer, truer, or bet
ter than he. As to his statesman
ship, that is above question by any
fair-minded man. His speeches are
as charitable and as respectful q:
Clay's famous orations. After d
thorough study of the man l was con
WINGED that another Clay had come
to the people, and that could con.
sistently and conscientiously vote
for him without violating the sell
given promise Of years ago, to vote
for no man for president that wa,
not the equal to Clay. and did vot,
with a great deal OF pleasure for Will
lam jennings Bryan"

One Happy Feature.


Nothing stands out more distinc-
lively in the campaign that has Just
closed than the tree dom from any
thing Of a personally offensive ma
ture in the speeches Of either of the
principal candidates.
Even papers so bitterly opposed to
Mr.. BRYAN as the Boston Herald ad-
init that in his defeat there is one
tribute which is Justly his due-the
good nature and "sweet personal
temper" that have characterized his
campaign.
That he well deserves the recogni.
ton thus paid will be admitted BY
every impartial man OF either party.
His sweetness of temper and good
nature are the more remarkably
when the circumstances attending
his campaign are borne in mind,
Never has a candidate for any office
subjected himself to such a physical
and mental strain. Never were the
motives of candidate so uniustly
and vindictively attacked by the re-.
publican press and the majority OF
speakers in the ranks of his oppon.
ents.
For Maj. Mckinley it must be sd.
mitted with equal frankness that hs
followed the laudible example set by
nir. Bryan. There was diff -reuce
in their speeches. Of course. But in
