PROPOSED MILK COMBINE.

Rumored Attempt to Syndicate All
the Washington Diaries.
A milk combine for this city is said to
be one of the possibilities of the near fu-
ture. A proposition has been made to
nearly all the local milk dealers to buy
out their business, and it is estimated that
the syndicate has secured options from
about sixty dealers or more.
The plans of the syndicate, so far as
made known, are to establish a central
cold storage plant where milk will be re-
ceived from producers and from where it
will be distributed throughout the city.
The proposition is considered to be
feasible one on account of there being no
large companies now in the field.

main by their vehicles and not obstruct
the passageway by soliciting at the en-
trance to the grounds.

Gentility Passing AWAY.

A frankness that is almost brutal
seems to pass current in society for up
to date smartness and the language
that is now used by certain fashionable
people among themselves is sometimes
only little short of billingsgate, while
"swear Words seem to have lost their
awfulness and are used almost as freely
by women as by men. 1t is curious
how "gentility" both as word and a
quality has disappeared. Fashionable

Stopping the Interest.

Daniel Webster once dined with an
old Boston merchant, and when they
came to the wine a dusty old bottle was
carefully decanted by the servant and
passed to the host. Taking the bottle,
he filled WebSter's glass and handed it
to him. Then, pouring out another for
himself, he held it to the light and said:
"How do you like it, Mr.. Webster?''
II think it is fine specimen of old
port.
"Now, can you guess what it cost
me?" asked the host.
"Surely not, " said Webster. II only
know that it is excellent. 3"
well, now, l can tell you, for ]
made careful estimate the other day.
When l add the interest to the first
price, find that it cost me the sum of
just shiilings per glass.
Good gracious! You don't say so?"
cried Webster. And then, draining his
glass, he presented it again. with the
remark:
Fill it up again as quick as you can,
for want to stop that confounded in

Wouldn't Be "Half HANGED >,

1t was once the custom in several
southern states, when man under SEN
tence of the law was hanged and three
times in succession broke the rope and
fell to the earth before the sentence
could be carried out, to liberate him
and thereafter to account him innocent
of the crime of which he was convicted.
An old darky past the threescore and
ten years generally allotted to man had
a neighbor whom he considered "hoo-
doo," "Jonah." One day he went
over to his neighbor's house and killed
him with shotgun. He was tried, con-
viCted and sentenced to death. The day
of the execution arrived, and great
crowd assembled to see the old man
hanged. He was very heavy man, and
when the moose had been placed around
his neck and the barrel drawn from un-
der him his weight broke the rope and
he fell to the ground.
The second time and the third time
the rope broke, and then his friends de-
manded that he be released. The sheriff
turned him over to his friends, who
made great show of welcome But he
broke away from them, and, hurrying
to the sheriff, who was about to leave
the scene, he astounded him with:
Hold on, Massa Sheriff Hold on Put
that rope around this old nigger's neck
again. Dye think I'm goin to have all
de folks pointin me out as a half hung
man: No, sah Try it again! Try it
againr'
The sheriff did try it again, and this
time the rope did not break. New

Getting Around 1t.

A worried looking stranger stepped
up to crossing policeman yesterday
morning and said
"Will you kindly direct me to the
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John rail
way depot?''
"What?''
The stranger repeated his request. Z.
"There isn't any such depot in this
own, - replied the officer. "What are
you giving me?''
THAT isn't the name of it, of

man.
"Do you mean the Big -Four depot?''
he asked.
"That's itn' exclaimed the stranger
delightedly. II was sure I'd know it if
l heard it again. Where is it:''
The officer started him in the right
direction and then went into a brown
study. At the end of half an hour he
emerged from it and said to himself in

While over her shoulders and in her ears

And they thought the old face had forgotten

A Pleasant Sort of Sea,

The power of the surf is thing
about which many of us have but the
most hazy ideas, and indeed the ordi-
nary conditions with which we are sur
rounded prevent us from fully appreci-
ating what it can be at times.
The people of the island of Chinco-
league, which is about mile and a
half wide, have, however, opportunities
for judging this experience, which they
must find the reverse of pleasant.
On its eastern side and between it and
the ocean is Assateague island, which
is also mile and half wide, but the
power with which the waves come is so
great that at some places the surf
sweeps entirely over both islands. -
