A Disastrous GIFT.

Some day the people of the neighborhood
will rise in righteous indignation, and
there will be an item for the obituary
columns of the newspapers, but just at
present he succeeds in worrying along in
reasonable safety by keeping to the alleys
and side streets. says the Chicago Post
He lives in a neighborhood in which chill
dren predomnate and he has several him
self. Children, as is well known, fire.
quently betray a great fondness for can
dy, and the children of this nRighborhood
are no exception to the general rule. Fur
thermore, it has been noted by kindergar-
teners and others who have given the sub
ject careful study that children invariably
want the kind of candy that other chill
dren have especially if there is anything
particularly noticeable about it in either
taste or appearance.
The man whose life is in jeopardy dis
covered peculiar kind of candy, nodded
into the shapes of various animals, and
took some of it home to his children
That was the beginning, and it was
purely a thoughtless move on his part,
perhaps he should not be blamed for it;
but, of course, when mems passions are
excited they do not stop TO reason calmly,
Two DAYS after the offender introduced
that candy into the neighborhood a dis
couraged man was seen carefully inspect
ing everything that could be found in the
candy department of one of the big de-
partment stores, and the day after that
another man wandered along State street,
making inquiries at all the candy stores
he could find.
Then the offender brought home some
more of the same kind of candy. and then
it was only natural that the trouble should
become vastly more serious. While the
first offense might have been overlooked,
the repetition Of 1t must be regarded as
inexcusable. 1t was a good deal like in
viting a fatality, and unless all signs fail
the fatality is camped on his trail. One
whole neighborhood cannot give itself up
to q search for one particular kind of
candy without occasionally emitting a cry
for vengeance.

Mrs. Langtry Couldn't refuse.

Mrs. Langtry, who because of a number
of interesting recent events, is once more
before the public eye, is the owner of a
ranch out near Carson, New. 1t was sold
TO her by Sam" Davis Of the Appeal,
The story of the sale is short and reads
like fiction, but is truth, says the Chicago
Record. Mrs. Langtry was playing Gala
tea. She had had some dealings with
Davis looking to the purchase of the
ranch, but had been unable to make up
her mind. Sam" was consequently wor-
ried for fear the deal would not go
through. So one night he went to the
stage door of the theater where the play
was being produced, and, owing to his ed
itorial position, was admitted without
question. He waited until Mrs. Langtry
took up her position as the statue of Gal
atea. and then, calling three stage-hands
to witness, he whispered from the wings
to her: IF you hear me, wink the eve
which is further from the audience"
Galatea winked. That established Davis
case.
Now, If you don't want to buy the
southwest quarter section IA, Is and l3 for
$500 shake your head he said. Galatea
the marble statue, with the eyes of the
audience, was, of course, immovable. "All
right" said Davis, cheerfully, Il and
these witnesses understand that you
want 1t at that figure"
The next day he gave her the deeds
and took her good money She probably
might have made a contention in court
but she decided that such diplomacy de
served recognition, and so accepted the
situation. That is how she came TO be a
landowner in Nevada.

"senntoriaI Courterx.v

According to the reports from Atlanta,
ii seems that the Senate is disposed to
permit Senator Geiger to have his own
way in the matter of the Savannah COM
mission bills, in compliance with senate
rial courtesy" At the session of the leg
islature which passed the bills creating
the commissions, Senator Geiger favored
them, on the ground that the mayor and
aldermen of this city knew what the peo-
pie wanted. and as the city administra-
ton favored the bills they ought to be
passed.
1t will be borne IN mind that there was
never any public demand for the commits
sions. except possibly In the case OF the
park and tree commission. Nobody knew
anything about the other commissions.
The scheme was Matched up by few
club bosses for the purpose Of perpetual
ing themselves and their friends in office.
Some of the aldermen of the faction then
in power were about as much in the dark
with regard to the scheme as were the
people. But 1t went through, because
Senator Geiger said the mayor and board
of aldermen favored the scheme and Knew
what the people wanted, and because the
Senate extended It's courtesy to Senator
Geiger
In the last election the question was SUBJ
mtted to the people. They elected
mayor and board of aldermen known be-
forehand to be opposed to the commits
sions. Bills to repeal the acts creating the
commissions have been introduced. They
have been passed by the House, and are
pending in the Senate. The present mayor
and board of aldermen are in favor of
the passage of the repeal bills. But where
does Senator Geiger stand? Now he Is
sure that the mayor and aldermen do not
know what the people of Savannah want
He even goes to the length of making the
nOnsensical assertion that they are not
democrats. And he appeals to senatorial
courtesy" to kill the repeal bills.
The senator's position is inconsist-
ent and is hardly up to the
standard of a man who hopes to
retain the confidence of the people. But,
leaving all of that to one side, the greater
question is, are we to have government by
Senatorial courtesy?" If that is the case,
IL Would pc as Well 10 Abolish the legiSla-
ture 1t is an expensive farce Senator
Geiger is greater than the legislature, and
greater than the people. He does not
live in Savannah, or even in Chatham
county. yet he is permitted through "sen-
atorial courtesy to defy the will of the
people of the city and county and order
that they shall be governed as he dictates,
ton in Savannah. This senatorial cour-
tesy" business has gone far enough. 1t
is ridiculous. 1t is a travesty upon self
government and an outrage upon the
rights of the voters. This is the way
it must look to fair-minded men, whether
they are for or against the commissions,
and without regard to the faction to when
they belong.

The barber was still apparently obllvious
Hang II all!' cried the man In the
chair, at last aren't you going to ask
me what I think of the political situation
in New York;"
Still there was never a word from the
barber.
When the man finally climbed out of the
chair the boss said pleasantly. indicating
the barber:
Deaf and dumb, you know I engaged
him purposely for you. We aim to
please"
Then the man who had been in the chair
swore.
IF you don't put a photograph attach
ment on him you will lose my trade" he
said.
But you have always complained of

"Oh, but that's all right, too" broke in
the man who had been in the chair. Il
