WANTED A CHANGE OF MANNER
Craved to Be Addressed Once More
as q Gentleman


There was a sleight-of-han perform
ance in the opera house that night, and
way down on the front seats there sat
man holding a shiny silk hat ostenta-
tiously before him with an expression OF
deep anxiety and watchfulness upon his
face.
Before the performance began
friend who sat Immediately behind him
and had noticed his manner leaned over
and asked him what the trouble was.
well, you see, Tom" said the man
with the hat, confidentially, 'it's this
way: I've been in politics now for ten
years, and I've been cussed and abused
and called all sorts of hard names until
I'm just longing to hear somebody ad-
dress me in decent manner one more
time. When this magician comes on the
stage he's going to say: will some
gentleman kindly loan me his hat?' and
I'm going to jump up and give him mine.
It'll make me feel good for a month to be
spoken to that way. I've been looking
forward to this occasion for two weeks.
You'll excuse me now, for I'll have 10

A Safe Way for Cyclists to Drink

Instead of drinking so much" said
the doctor to the bicycle girls, "try my
plan and see If it isn't success. When
you are very warm, in fact, alSlost at
the point of becoming overheated, in
stead of folding your stomach with great
draughts of some cold liquid immerse
both hands in water so that the wrists
are covered. Hold them there for some
time. Then, instead of drinking two
glasses Of water, we will say, as may
have been your custom, just take two or
three swallows-enough to cool your
mouth and throat, and resist the temp
tation to take any more. l venture to
say that you will feel entirely refreshed
and willingly repeat the experiment at
the next well instead of returning to the
old practice. By doing this you will cool
the blood without running into the dan
ger of bringing on a severe and possibly
fatal chill. Give my way trial."-New

a few minutes sober thought to the sub

To Brighten Dingy Carpets

When a carpet comes to be laid afresh
the colors are apt to look somewhat
dingy and certainly not so bright as was
expected. To remedy this use pailful
of warm water containing two or three
tablespooufuls of household ammonia
and q soft flannel and two fresh cloths
1or rubbing the carpet dry after 1t has
boen washed with the first flannel and
water. This treatment will, when the
carpet is quite dry, be found to give
most effectual renovation. But 1t must
be remembered that certain green's will
not bear ammonia; in such cases clear
warm water will freshen and help the
carpet very much.-New York Sun.

PAID A FINE FOR SWEARING ON THE
EET.-Onicer George Creque ar
rested man from near Greensburg,
on Monday afternoon, for using pro-
family on the street. He was taken
before Mayor Henshaw, who made
him pay dne for his conduct. This
is habit that should be broken up,
and the law enforced to the letter.
1t is a disgrace to the decent people
of this city that SO much swearing
is permitted on our public thorough
fares, on which young ladies are con-
stantly trayersing. 1t would be a
big thing for the treasury of the
corporation, and the means of break
ing it up to some extent, if our off,
GERS would keep their ears open and

vulgar habit.

SERIOUS AccIbENT.-Tim Roberts,
we'll known in this city, met with a
very serious accident last Wednes-
day evening, while gathering coal
on the B. & 0. r. R. He had been
out all day and was returning home
in the evening with his load, when
he saw train coming. He stepped
out of the way of it onto another
track, forgetting in the meantime to
look if the track was clear. He
was Immediately struck by train
coming the other way which cut his
foot off just above the ankle. He
was brought to the 3. & o. building
where surgical aid was rendered by
Drs. Baker and Myers, who ampu-
tated the leg about six inches below
the knee. His blood was in a rather
poor condition and bad results were
expected, but he is now improving,
and it is hoped will recover. He is
at the Kings Daughters Hospital.
