Forgot what He Went For.

Several years ago a Chicago reporter
was given an assignment to interview Ed
win Booth. says the Chicago Times Ter
aid. The newspaper man always had
been an ardent admirer of the great ira
gedian and looked upon this assignment
as an unhoDed for privilege and honor.
He sent up his card and while waiting
in the hotel office for a reply devoted all
his leisure to formulating a pretty speech
with which to greet the actor. At last
when he entered Booths apartments the
tragedian came forward, shook hands
with him warmly and asked him to be
seated. An awkward pause followed At
length the reporter began his little speech,
ending with the statement that this vas
the proudest moment of his life.
Mr.. Booth preserved an unbroken ST.
lence. Apparently he was revolving in
his mind what his caller had said. Two
minutes later he slowly remarked: Has
il struck you, sir, that in that State
street murder this morning the finding of
button in the dead mans hand may
prove a clew TO the guilty party2'
The interviewer stammered out mega.
tive reply. We'll, you go right back to
your city editor" continued Booth, "and
give him that pointer. Will you?'
And the reporter never realized until
he reached the newspaper ONCE again
that he had missed everything he went
after.

Won Himself in a Rattle.

II encountered the strangest man ever
knew while was doing some government
work in Missouri" said the retired con-
tractor. according to the Detroit Free
Press. He was smart enough, so jolly
that every one liked him, and apparently
in the best of health. But he made a few
bad deals, had to mortgage some of his
property, and just seemed to throw up his
hands. He vowed that he had ceased to
he his own man, and would drift till he
found out what the world wanted to do
with him.
HE never tried to dispose of any of his
possessions by auction or private sale but
nearly every day held raTre, at wnlcn the
chief attractions were his jokes and odd
sayings. All this time he was not trying
to earn a dollar, and in a year or so it
was thought that he had come to the end
of his string.
when he had disposed of the family
clock and there seemedgto be nothing left,
he coolly announced that the next day he
would rattle hipFself. He didn't know
whether the Boys would care to buy
chances, but he meant business and would
work faithfully for the man who drew
him. Tickets sold for good figures, but
there were two left, and he laughingiy
said that he would take couple of shots
at himself. When the drawing came off
he held the lucky number
well, sir, the fellow turned loose and
went to making money hand over hand.
He became one of the greatest hustlers in
the west paid off the morga ges, bought
everything there was money in, and is as
rich now as a river bottom farm. When he
drew himself at that rattle he made up his
mind that he was his own man again, and
besides he had agreed to do his best for
the winner. 1t was a strange case"

Live Oaks on OgIethorpe Avenue.

What can be done in the way of sue
cessful tree planting in this city is shown
on Oglethorpe avenue. When the park
and tree commission Strengthened and
widened the grass plat in the center OF that
street 1t planted a number of well grown
live oaks in the place of trees removed
and in vacant spots. These new trees are
now putting forth shoots and show healthy
boes. Out of the entire lot planted only
three show any signs of being unthrifty.
In few years they will form a magnif-
cent double row of those monarchs of the
southern coast forests, throwing their
giant branches over the asphalt drive on
either side Of the broad grass plat. If the
commissioners had done nothing more
than this successful re-planting of the
groves on Oglethorpe avenue. they would
be entitled to the hearty thanks of the
present generation and of future genera
lions of Savannahians.

Make short Meter of Them.

The movement looking to the abolition
of meters in the water service in this city
will receive the approval and support of
the people. The system will no doubt be
speedily done away with by the water
commissioners. The meter fad was the
outcome of a general cutlery for some
means of stopping the apparent waste of
water by water takers. Acting upon what
was conceived to be the most promising
plan of conserving the city's water sup
ply, the meters were tried. The cost of
the apparatus is quite heavy, and conse-
quently the Introduction of meters has
been slow. What has been done in the
way of putting them in, however has
demonstrated that the system is not a
success, in Savannah. In some instances
the machine makes the cost of water to
the consumer very high, while in other
instances it will not count enough gall
Ions to pay interest upon its own cost. In
short, the meter has not been a success
in any manner except in stirring up bad
blood and hard feelings.
In a climate like ours there should be
no restrictions placed upon the use of wa
ter. There is a plenty of water to be had,
insufficient The water works is the prop
erty of the city, which means that it be-
longs to the people, and water should be
furnished in abundance to all corners at
cost

The New York newspapers have been
making 1t rather embarrassing for Samuel
l.. Clemens, or Mark Twain, as the Amer
lean humorist rs better known. Stories
were circulated to the effect that he was
dying In poverty in London. II turns out,
however. that he Is living IN ease and
comfort. and is writing another book UNI

been making practical test OF one OF his
recent epigrams, "Be good and you will
be lonesome" This might account for
the fact that some Of his friends lost
