THE ~IIEATllEN.

The heather in his folly eats anything
that's good,
He doesn't try to choose the food that
science says he should;
He dies, gray-haired and weary, at
four-score years and ten,
And what most sorely vexes him Is
that he can't eat then,
Keep away from pickles, keep away
from spice,
Keep away from cabbage. cornfield
peas and rice.
Never eat "a thing that's sweet, II
always eat it cold,
And thus you'll save your intellect
from growing stale and old.
The heather has three meals a day
and sometimes one at night,
He thinks his early breakfast to be his
Unborn right;
lie rises in the morning and hears his
hunger call
He never heard that science proves 1t
isn't there at all.
Keep away from breakfast, keep
away from tea,
Keep away from lunches, wherever
they may be,
Never let your midday meal be either
large or rich,
And every morsel you may take, be
careful which Is which.
The heather drinks the water that
bubbles from the spring,
He thinks that If it Stakes his thirst
1t Is the very thing;
He'll kiss his sweetheart on the lips
instead OF on the chin,
And not suspect hat he commits a
scientific sin,
Keep away from %pollywogs, angle
worms and flies,
Keep away from insects Of every sort
and size.
Never breathe "A microbe in unless
you cough him out,
For he may have Che chicken-pox.
the measels and the goute.
The heather fills his system with
deadly drugs and weeds,
He works until he's tired and rests
more than he needs;
He sets his brain In action when 1T
should be In repose.
And then he adds dyspepsia to his
many other woes,
Keep away from appetite, keep away
from thirst
These of all the foes on earth to
science are the worst,
Keep away from exercise, keep away
from thought,
And you will live until you die. IL
you're not sooner caught,

THE NEGRO AND THE MACHINE

A Georgia man who had made a fly
ing machine offered a negro $40 to
make a trial trip In 1t.
The negro agreed, got in position
and he and the machine were hoisted
by block and tackle about 80 feet from
terra irma.
When the rope was loGsened the
machine took a sudden slanting course
toward earth and plunged into an
adjacent mill pond.
1t disappeared with the negro be-
meath the water, while the terrified
inventor stood shrieking for assis-
lance.
Presently the negro's head bobbed
up %serenely, and he struck out for
dry land. On arriving his first splut-
tered words we're:

TURNING or THE WORM.
A Victims Protest Against One of the
Ice Mans Extortious.
To be Continued.

Ice Mans Extortious.
The driver of the ice wagon was
surprised to see the occupant of the
house sitting on the front doorstep as
he drove up. AS soon as the wagon
stopped the householder was at the
curbstone With his eyes fixed on the
scales. The ice man paid no attention
to him, but after weighing a small
chunk, started toward the house with
it.

IAN right, But you want to be quick

The customer seized the tongs and
disappeared. In n little while he came
out of the house, and, seating himself
on the doorsteps, began TO whistle.
Well! Welt" shouted the ice man.
Il can't stay her till next winter"

"Of course, I'm waiting for some
thing. | want my tongs,"
What tongs?"
"The tongs you just used to carry

Of mind, he set to work borrowing in all

the authorities had to interfere. NJ. Co

The Princess Evanhe, after the depart
ure of her husband, was taken i'll, and
went to the Rue de Colombes, at Cour-
beVole, just outside Paris, where there
was kind of asylum known as the Villa
des Cedres. 1t was at that moment under
the direction of a so-called DR.. Bance,
whose wife was a midwife. The princess
remained at Courbevoie a week, and was
then conducted by a police agent to
DJeiIa, where she reioined her husband.
BEFORE leaving she gathered together all
the objects belonging to her. Her for
tune representing 100000 francs in jewell
ry, was placed in small Golfer.
The police will confscate your Golfer.

SAID her friends. "Confide it to DR.. Bance.
the good Dr. Bance, who will return il
70 you Whenevr you like" The too con-
hiding princess intrusted the Jewels TO the
doctor, and then left. Some time after
she began to doubt, and appealed to the
project of police for the recovery Of the
Golfer. NJ. Clement, the well-known com
missary of police, was ordered to Inquire
INTO the matter. He summoned the So
called doctor and ordered him to return
the jewels. Il can do nothing of the
kind he replied. The princess owes me
money for the week she stayed at my
asylum. When she has remunerated me
for the enormous expenses which | incur
red on her behalf, 1 will give up the offer,

amounting to the respectable sum of 5000

Not being able to obtain the Golfer by
administrative means, the princess re-
solved to so to law. and brought an ac-
ton before the tribunal of
the Seine. The doctor, it is
said, has done all he can to delay
the suit, and has so far succeeded, seeing
that although it was begun as far back as
1893, it is still before the court of appeal.
In the meanwhile, the judges thought II
necessary to place the Golfer under Sc
questration. NJ. Gauteron, police official
was chosen 10 undertake the operation.
On the 18th of May last he informed NJ
Bance that he would call on him the next
day to receive the jewels. When NJ eau
teron arrived at the Villa des Cedres, he
saw only the wife of the doctor" who
handed to him the famous Golfer, which
on being opened, was found to contain
only three of four hundred francs! 1t was
said that NJ. Bance had escaped abroad
1t appears that he took the Jewels to the
pawnshop, but not thinking them suffi-
GENTLY secure here, he withdrew them a
few days later. The question now is
where are they? Did the doctor take
them with him? Here this curious case
remains for the present, to the chagrin OF

DARKEY FOR POSTMASTER.
Tallahassee People Think the Black
Republicans Are at Work.

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. A.-In the
early spring a petition was circulated
here, requesting the appointment of Mr.
John McDougan as postmaster for Tai
lahassee. The petition was very generally
signed, regardless of politics. as the pc
ttion requested an appointment only
when the term of Mr.. r. b. German,
present incumbent, should expire. The
petition was taken to Washington; the
proper parties seen. and the appointment
of Mr.. McDougan agreed upon.
Up to a few days ago matters rested
quietly. All apparently acquiescing in
the agreement when a young negro man
here sent a night message TO Washing
ton, requesting that the appointment of
a postmaster for Tallahassee be held up
until the people could be heard from, or
words to that effect.
This new movement on the political
board is regarded as an effort to have a
negro preacher here. II. G. Bailey, who
is in no manner popular in this communi-
ty, and who would not be acceptable to
