A Jewel of a Girl.

A Philadelphia housekeeper tells this
story in the Record of that city: 1--WE had
at one time IN our employ very green
young woman, whose nationality is typi-
fed by an emblem of the same verdant
color. This young woman, like the one
your story speaks of, also came to us
through an intelligence CD office. She
showed her intelligence on the first day
Of her service in our family. She was
told to go out in the yard and take down
the clothesline, which was stretched
along half dozen posts set up for that
purpose. She was at the job for so lone
time that we began TO wonder what on
earth was the matter with her We went
out to see what she was doing and there
we found her working away vigorously
with a spade. She had already dug IN
three of the posts, and had almost com
pleted the work on a fourth when we
found her. She didn't stay with us long,,

Away back in the time of the Ptolemes,
probably, somebody built a sidewalk hav-
ing sheer drop to the pavement at the
crossing; and sidewalks have been built
that way ever since. The step down from
the sidewalk to the pavement at the cross
ing and the step up again at the other
side, have shattenerd tens of millions OF
nerves, besides causing the'useless waste
of enough energy 10 move the world. Yet
the probabilities are that people will go on
building sidewalks upon the same old
plan for ages to come. 1t seems that there
ought to be developed some plan by which
there could be a gradual curve or incline
to the crossing, but that is probably
vain idea.

Durrant's lawyers hope to prolong his
life by demanding his trial for the second
murder with which he is accused This
Is of course, merely a play for time. If
the man were acquitted of the second p,,r
der he could not escape the penalty Of
the first, and if he were convicted of the
second he could not be punished for il
after having been hanged for the first. It
is to be hoped the courts will cut the red
tape Of technicalities out of the way and
permit the execution of sentence upon the
murderer

A queer suit for damages is. pending in
the federal court for the southern district
of Virginia. Samuel J. K. Adler, who
says he rented" his name to Saul NJ Ar
mold, for certain purposes. is suing Arnold
for $4,000 damages. Adlers chief griev-
ance seems to be that Arnold, under the
rented" name of Adler, got married
which was not in the agreement. The
wife of the real Adler heard of it, and sup
posing the man married to be her husband
went to the courts and got divorce from
him on the ground of desertlon. Arnold,
who rented" the name and used it so ef.
fectively lives in Virginia, while the ac-

The Philadelphia Press essays TO explain
why it is that more northern people do not
come south and take up some Of the ex-
cellent farming lands which are to be had
so cheaply. II says: II is simply be-
cause the inhabitants of the south are
rnfriendly and inhosptable to those who
come among them. Instead of welcoming
them, as a western community, the farm
ing population in a southern country is
full of talk of our way. warn strangers
not to meddIe in politics, and run them
out of the country if they do" This very
expression on the part of the Philadelphia
Press illustrates why il is that many
northern people lack confidence in the
south; this section is simply misrepresert-
ed by papers which should scorn to stoop
so low. The. Press either does not know
what it is talking about or wilfully falsi-
hes the facts' 1--WE do not believe the
Press could, TO save its circulation. name
a solitary case bearing out its assertion

There is good reason why Senator Hanna
wears smiling face nowadays. The re-
publican majority in the Ohio legislature
is much greater than it was represented
to be Immediately after the election. Il
is said TO be fifteen. so that neither Fora
ker nor Bushnell nor any other one OF
the senator's enemies in his own party
has auy prospect of defeating his efforts
to be elected to the Senate 1t is better
TO be lucky than rich, but Senator Hanna
is both lucky and rich. He is not, how
ever desirable addition to the public
men of the country. His political methods
are not of a kind that promises well for

His Wit Snved Him.

A strict rule promulgated by every sue
cessive commandant al the navy yard pro-
hibits smoking on Mare Island under the
most stringent penalties, says the San
Francisco Wave. Admiral Miller saunter-
ing one recent afternoon through a dis
tant part of the island, came upon an
Irish laborer digging trench and smok-
ing short black pipe. He was putting
away serenely, unconscious of regula-
tons and with evident enjoyment. The
admiral. who was In undress uniform,
stopped.
Don't you know, sir, that smoking is
absolutely prohibited in the navy yard?"
he said
The Irshman looked up, and with
kindly smile answered:
"Indade, that's true, but here 1 am

wurrd to, and thought I'd take puff or
two to ralave the silence"
The regulations are explicit, SIR re-
buked the admiral 'and the silence does
not excuse you. What's your name, sir?''
An who may you be, anyway" asked
I'm Admiral Miller, sir"
An, It's the new admiral We are. 'Tis
to kape it. Me names Pat McGinnis."

hardly keep from laughing At O'clock

there would be the devil to pay, .tramped
over TO headquarters and the orderly ush-
cred him into the dreaded presence of the
admiral who said:
sit down, Pat"
Pat sat down. Miller touched a bell
The orderly appeared.
Bring a bottle of champagne and two
glasses, he said
Not word was spoken until the wine
arrived The admiral filled the two glasses
and pused one over toward the Irlshman

Our people are convinced that in time

cotton they produce. But TO do that they
will have TO make cloth not only for the
United States, but for half the world, and
so they must prepare for its sale as well
