EX-Postmaster General Wanamaker has
been for so long a time a teacher of sun
of the dry and prosy political situation
without ringing In the imagery and smile
which one would expect in the Sunday
school room. He talks of the bridging of
chasms, the construction Of highways, the
virtues Of patience and perseverance, and
the like, in a recent interview on the new
one of these days. have an equable and
permanent tariff law, but it is very plain
from his published opinions that he does
not expect the law just passed to last
long.

There is a class Of people who will rake
In their little pile out of the Alaska gold
excitement without going anywhere near
the Klondike. There are already cstab-
lshed Klondike claim companies, Klon-
dixie transportation companies. Klondike
book companies and all sorts Of Klondike
companies which viii catch the dollars OF
the unwary ana the origlnators of these
Klondike schemes will stay right az home
and continue to publish long K.ondike ad-
vertsements in the big klondike newspa-
pers These schemes were gotten up for
the gullible and there is no doubt that
many of the American people love to be
gulled. Perhaps one OF the most unique
notices is that OF a big newspaper witch
says something like this: "Be sure TO get
a copy OF our Klondike gold Geld special. 90

There was one man whose candidate in
the last national election was bound to
win whichever way the contest went He
was Charles S. johnson of Alaska, who was
recently appointed United States district
judge for that territory. Johnson was a
delegate to the st. Louis convention, where
he voted for the nomination of Mckinley
He then went up to Chicago to catch a
glimpse of the democratic show, and TAX
ing the badge Of an Alaskan democratic
delegate who was laid up for repairs, he
went into the convention and voted Justify
for Bryan. Evidently Mr.. Johnson was

liz interest in SnIt.

The portly man was heard to declare
under his breath that it was an outrage
several times in succession, says the
Washington Star. He was going down
the iairs on the west side OF the capitol
with a quick, nervous stride, which his
general appearance showed was very un-
usual with him. Just before he reached
the peace monument, a man who had been
pushing him ever since he had left the
capitol building came alongside and hailed
him The portly man stopped in astonish-
ment and then exclaimed:
well, Smithers Is IL youl I must say
that if anything in the world could make
me glad at the present moment il would
be this unexpected meeting. What are
you doing in Washington"
Pleasure trip. What brought you here E"
business. l came to give these people
a few suggestions on how to run the gov,
eminent l Travelled hundreds of miles to
attend 10 1t. But there's no use of allow
ing your expectations to rise too high.
You can teach a man just so much and
then there's no use of wasting any more
time with him. They've got a pretty
good start on the tariff, but they have
made some mistakes, although they won't
own up."
Il suppose you are here on behalf of
the brewery interests you represent"
"Of course. You have no idea how our
enterprises have developed in the last
few years"
You ought to be satisfied with the way
they have treated your product"
Satisfied" echoed the portiy man with
the air of one who has heard an unfamil-
lar word.
Certainly. They didn't put any tax on
beer, as they threatened to do"
''Oh, yes. That was very we'll as far as
it went. What I have been trying to do
was to keep them from putting a duty on
salt"
What for?"
Simply because a duty on salt will
have the effect of making it more expen-
sve"
But what has that to do with your en-
terprises ?"
My friend was the pitying response,
you are a good fellow and a bright fell
low, but you are not cut out for doing
business in these last few years of the
nineteenth century. If you were, you
would at once recall. the fact that salt
makes people thirsty. And that being the
case, l regard any legislation which tends
to discourage its consumption in the
slightest degree as an insult to human
liberty and a detriment to progress!'

Wanted His Baby's name Changed.

81,
A man who was bald with the exception
of a small red fringe which reached around
the back of his head from ear to ear was
waiting for the lawyer when the latter
came into his office, says the Washington
Star.
Il want to consult you on a rather I'M
usual case" he said after greetings had
been exchanged. What 1 came to find
out is this-can persons name be chang
ed?"
Certainly. All he has to do is to show
some good and sufficient reason for adopt
ing another name, and it can be very cas-
lily arranged"
Il know that. But can it be done without
the knowledge or consent of the party
most interested@
why, of course not"
Il was afraid you would say that. But
maybe when you hear all the circum-
stances"
But there are no circumstances which
will permit you to change mans name
without his knowledge. There are lots of
mean things You can do behind a friends
back but I'm glad to say this is not one
of them"
But this person isn't a man"
The same thing applies to a woman"
But it's not a woman either. It's my 10
months-old baby. The trouble is that were
having too much education in our neigh
borhocd. | honestly believe that what
am trying to do is for the babys own
good My wife and I were anxious to give
him name that would have a substantial
sound and at the same time be associated
with classical tradition. So we hit upon
Cicero. "
That's a very good name"
Your remark shows how easy it is to
be deceived. We liked it first rate until
our eldest girl got into the high school
one day she came home and informed us
that we were mispronouncing the baby's
name. 1T isn't Sissero,' she tells us; it's
Ktckero.' "
That's the pronunciation usually
taught now"
so l learned upon inquiry. And If you'l
take the case l am willing to go to any ex-
pense to change his name to Thomas or
John or jeremiah or most anything that
won't sound as if we had taken an Indian
papoose to raise"

1t is reported that the fashionable
Peachtree street residence of Mai. W. H.
Smythe of Atlanta, who was a candidate
for the internal revenue collectorship, will
be rented to Henry A. Rueker. the ne
gro who succeeded in securing the APP
pointment, and certain Atlanta society
circles are very much stirred up over the
matter. The whole trouble appears
to be, according to dispatch,
that the major was not satisfied with the
quantity and quality of the Endorsements
the Atlanta people gave him. The Atlanta
people considered the appointment of
Ruckcr bad enough, as did almost every
body else, but his appearance as an in
habitant in the midst of the Gate Citys
swell section, will no doubt be looked upon
as the hight of republican indignity.

fiasge is attached. which in the descent OF
the lead, holds the sleeve up, allowing the

In the ascent OF the lead this fange forces

the lead by some three inches, and so pro-

and thus the specimen OF the bottom is

The great difficulty found IN obtaining
even specimens OF broken .halls, sand, etc.
