THEY DON'T SAY OZARK"

In Washington 1t Might Mean That =
Brunette's Negro.
A difference in the meaning of words
that might interest dialecticians was
brought to the notice of New Yorker
who went to Washington not long ago
to help friend get married, says a
New York Sun writer. Nobody can
marry in Washington without first get
ting a marriage license At the citv hall.
Neither the man most interested nor
his New York friend had ever been
married in Washington, and it was
with some trcpidation that they went
after the license together. 1t was
agreed that the New Yorker should do
the talking. After several attempts to
extract license from the tax clerk,
the mayors private secretary and two
stray deputy sheriffs, the pair got to
the right desk and applied for the
license. The clerk asked the names of
the contracting parties, their place of
residence, and other questions. Then
he said to the New Yorker:
SIS the groom light or dark?''
"Light," returned the young man,
wondering WndI CouipAcAAOA Adu W w
with the matter.
Lady light, also?" asked the clerk,
writing busily.
"No, she's dark" was the reply.
'Dark?" said the clerk, inquiringly.
land the groom light? Is that right?"
Certainly" replied the New Yorker,
with dignity, wondering still more.
Marriage between So-and-so, white,
and So-and-so, colorcd, read the clerk.
whats that?" shouted the groom,
taking hand in the game. What the
devil do you mean by calling her col
o-ed?"
''Why, this gentleman said So" said
the clerk.
81 didn't" protested the New Yorker.
Il said she was dark. She's a brunette"
"Oh, brunette!" observed the clerk.
81 see. You are from the north, aren't
you? Down here when we say light
we mean white, and dark means col
ored. Here's the license. One dollar,
please"
''Cheap enough, too, with the infor-
nation thrown in," said the groom to
the New Yorker as they took the Ii
cense and went away. II wonder if
they'd call mulatto striped"'

to, sell any of her old clothes. She
only hoped he would never find out,
and with the money she could buy such
fine new ones.
There was one gown that she did
hesitate to part with. 1t was lowered
teagown, with a big bow at the side
and long sash ends of gorgeous ribbon,
and Mr.. B particularly liked that
dress, because she had served afternoon
tea in it for him often during their en-
gagement. However, the man offered
a good price for it and it went with the
rest.
When Mr.. B came home in the
evening his wife had a guilty look as if
something lay on her conscience. But
she ascribed it to headache and the
Old-clOthes deal remained a profound
secret. III
A week or two later Mrs. b asked
her husband to do the marketing. She
usually attended to this herself, but
was going to have company and could
not spare the time.
Mr.. B accordingly took the market
basket on his arm and went from stall
TO stall purchasing supplies, when sud
denly he saw his wife standing near
him, haggling over some vegetables.
''Great Scott!" he said, under his
breath. ''And in that teagown, too! l
wonder what next?"
He stepped up to her and gave her q
vigorous rap ON the back.
The next moment he saw moons and
stars. WhaclS, whack, whack! came the
blows from castiron fist and a .hrill
voice screamed in his ear:
'You impudent wretch, I'll teach you
to know lady when you see one! Take
that and that and that!' - e
He escaped with his life and hurried
home for repairs. The cat was out Of
the bag and it had scratched him Sc
verely, but never, never again will Mrs.
B sell any of her I'D clothes.

SIX SORTS OF A HOG.
Railroad Nulsancos Which Seem to THIRTY
In Warm Weather.

Railroad Nuisanoss Which Seem to Thrive
In Warm Weather.
'The car hog is more and more in
evidence every day." said a car con-
ductor the other day. ''The warm
weather develops traits that have been
dormant with the winter. have
counted six different varieties of the
breed in a week. / used to be raiser
of stock in more prosperous days, and
I'm good judge. The most common
sort is that of the fellow who occupies
more room than he needs; never sees
that he could make room for anybody,
and is evidently the same when he is at
home. I'll bet he's the man who gets
the morning paper'frst. reads it to him
self, gives no one else chance, and
carries it downtown in his pocket.
"Then, there's the fellow who crosses
his legs, and when anyone seeks to pass
simply turns his foot edgeways, SO that
twice as much dirt is rubbed off on a
woman's dress andshe gets half shine
for nothing. If bigger man stands
still and glares at him he will unfold
his legs, but only then. This is the
same animal who likes to stretch out in
cross seats on the 'L' and clean his
boots on the edge of the seat. ...
"The third of the species is less bold
than his brothers. He is the chap who,
when some one gets up. leaving seat
vacant, although there's tired woman
maybe next to him, plumps into the va
cant spot, for she had her back turned,
and the opportunity was-and always
is, in fact-never neglected by him.
"The fourth sort is the rooster who
reads another mans paper over his
shoulder. l saw one the other day who
was SO interested in one article that he
was furtively and amusedly regarding
him. The fact was brought to his at
tention, however, by the paper being
pushed in front Of his face and then
withdrawn, and when he looked up a
dozen smiling faces made him turn
fairly sallow.
"The fifth is really only pig. He's
not grown, but thinks he is. His nose
that's not the word, but it will do-is
retrousse, and the little bristles under
it are carefully cared for. He likes to
crowd close to pretty girl and stare
at her with such q yearning look. If
he sits. opposite her his eyes rarely
wander from hers. saw one young
woman stare at the feet of one of that
sort for five minutes. He pulled them
back and fdgeted them about, finally
resting on his toes. She kept right on
staring and he became very uncomfort-
able. I'm told that's sure remedy.
He finally got out on the platform.
''The last.of the railroad hogs Iknow,
although there may be others, is the
one who opens his newspaper so as to
shut out the view of those on either
side of him. II he'd fold it down the
center Of the page-but, pshaw, he
won't" -~.s>-

For the student of social science
there is food for reflection in the fact
that an advertisement for "a person OF

Gently in the Sunday papers, says the
New York World, brought forth sew
cral hundred letters, largely from edu-

AS showing that the old proverb
about knowledge being power is not
universally true, the following an
swers to the advertisement are especial
ly significant:

essary copying not only in English, but
also in German, French, Italian, Latin

Penetration of Bullets In Snow.

Some curious tests have been made
lately of the penetration of projectiles
in snow. According to the report in
Cosmos (Paris) the Lebel rife was the
weapon used, and some snow heaps,
from one to two wards thick, were
placed on the firing range, situated
near Aurillac and fred at from dis
tance of fifty yards. 1t was found that
the bullet hal stopped at depth OF
about five feet. 1t is believed that the
great velocity of the projectile and it's
rotation $500 turns) attracts to 1t par
ticles of frost and minute icicles, which
end by forming ball and practically
annihilates it's penetration.

Apropos of the late Gen. Newton'e
death is little story he told twenty
years ago, when his work at He'll Gate
made him a much-talked-of man.
Il was in the quarry country OF In.

blocks of oolytic limestone without the
use of pound of powder. / had heard
of the process, and took team at
Greensburg and drove down to the
quarries to see. The superintendent
was Welshman of unpromising ap-
pearance. He was certainly an unedu-
Gated man. so far as colleges went, but
he knew his business.
II asked him how he managed to
blast such huge blocks of the rock, and
how much dynamite was required to
the ton. He said he did not use dyna-
mite or any other explosive. He simply
used unslal1ed lime. 1t astonished me,
but before he took me to the quarry he
set up a piece of pine board an inch
thick against wall of rock, brought
out revolver and fred at the board
"The bullet passed through, fiat
tened against the stone and fell to the
ground. Then he set up the board
again, and, taking the fiattened bullet,
threw it against the board with aston

same place, and after the fifth cast the
board was split from top to bottom.

Then they tamped these holes full Of

She Supposed They Knew.

A story at the expense of the Appa-
lachian Mountain club in Boston is re-
lated in Happy Thought. An excur-
sion party from the club, it appears,
had gone to a rural part of the state,
and in default of sufficient hotel accom-
modations, some of the members were
obliged to seek quarters in farm
house. Simplicity WAS the order of the
day, Everything was scrupulously
clean, but there was natural absence
of some of the luxurics of high-priced
city hotels. Some of the ladies of the
party discovered that there were no
keys in the locks of their rooms, and
waited upon the farmers wife. The
good lady was surprised. why" she
said, 1--WE don't usually lock our doors
here, and there's no one here but you.
But then, suppose you know your own
party best" The visitors did not in
sist upon the keys.

WOMEN IN 1RlCKrARDS.
Many Are Employed In Chic ago ut Rough
Labor.

Many Are Employed In Chic ago ut Rough
Labor.
The statement made the other day at
the Chicago trade and labor assembly
that women and young children worked
in Chicago's brickyards appears to have
foundation in fact. -= A. -
A visit was made to various brick
yard and, although only one woman
was found at work, this w as simply be-
cause the yards quit work at ten o'clock
in the morni ng. No one ,sopnected
with the in dustry denies that women
work in the yards, but say their work
is mostly what is technically called
backing" brick.
This consists ofs turning the bricks
over and piling them up ia rCws. 1t
does not sound like very hard work, but
when it comes to either stacking or
turning over thirty thousand bricks a
day it will be seen that the task would
tax the back of many a man.
Most of the rough labor is done by
Poles, and it is said that this is mostly
the race which allows it's women to
work in the yards. Contrary to expee-
tation, it is neither widows nor single
women who do the work, but the wives
and mothers of families, who labor in
the yards right beside their husbands.
Not much can be learned from the
employees themselves, but the police
who have travelled around the yards
tell bad tales. They say that it is no
uncommon sight to see little girls
turning bricks who are SO tired that
they crawl on all fours from one pile to
another. Their backs are bowed and
bent and they cry when they try to
stand up straight.
The women, for their work, are paid
six dollars a week. The children get
three dollars-or, rather, their parents
get it, Owing to the hours in the yards
the school inspectors can do nothing
because most of the children attend
afternoon school.
,s Work at the brick yards begins at
haIf-past three or four o'clock in the
morning and is over when the sun gets
hot-about ten o'clock. Then the little
children can go to play or go to school
and the mothers can go to their house.
work. They have earned dollar and
a half.
Women and children have only been
employed in the yards recently. There
was general strike among the brick
makers a few weeks ago on account OF
the manufacturers not paying the
union scale of wages, and women and
children have been employed to take
the places of the strikers
