mo- pAY on Nor To PAY?

Employed in one Of the city depart
ments, in clerical capacity, there is
a young man who, little over ysar
ago, went to a local hat store and
purchased black derby hat. Having
no money in his pocket, but a line of
credit at the Place, he tod the halter
to charge the 50 up to his accounr.
Then he left.
One of the proprietors OF the hat
store and the purchaser of the hat De-
,onged to the same political club, and
1t so happ,ned that they both attend
ed function held under the auspices
of the organization about two weeks
after the hat was purchased. The hat
ter, under stress Of conviviality, walk
cd up and smashed the hat which the
clerk had so recently purchased at his
store. 1t was a complete piece Of work
and the hat was ruined.
This made the clerk mad and he
then and there determined that hs
would not only refrain from paying for
the hat, but also from giving that par
ticular store a continuance Of his Gus
tom, which had covered a number Of
years.
He said nothing at the time because
it would not have paid him to make a
scene. The Wayfarer has often seen
hats smashed, and but in one or two
Instances has trouble resulted. "A
young fellow who objects to having hii
hat smashed is not considered the
proper thing. no matter how tryiny
such an assault may be upon his tenn
per and pocket. He is presumed to TAX
it as part of the nights fun, and MOI
to expect a new hat to be sent 70 him
next day.
AT stated periods from the time o.
the smashing of this particular hat the
clerk received bills from the hat store
for the two dollars. They were quiet
lily ignored. Then came little accom-

VARIOUS VIEWS AS TO WHAT A
YANKEE Is.

81 was greatly amused" said a New
Orleans citizen, who has lately made a
visit abroad, ITO notice how the term
Yankee widens in application as one
gets further and further away from the
habitat of the real thing.
I'm New York a Yankee is common
ly supposed to be a native OF Connecti-
cut, Vermont or Massachusetts,, and /
have noticed that the name is applied
to mean skinhints rather than to the
peopie in general. In st. Louis a Yam
kee is understood loosely to be anyone
from the extreme Northeast. Here in
Jew Orleans the term includues pretty
nearly everybody above Mason and
Dixon's line-in short, 'Northerner'
and Yankee are more or less synOny-
NOUS. Now comes the really absurd
part Of it, although quite in line with
what l have just remarked. While /
was in London found myself continu-
ally referred to as a Yankee by ma
tives who had learned I was from New
Orleans. 7 think you Yankees are
very charming people, said big
wholesaler who wanted to be extra
pleasant. 4 know several from your
state. / tried to explain at first, but
1 soon got tired OF that. was sure to
be greeted by stare Of amazement.
But I thought all Americans were
Yankees, doncherlknow,' would be the
usual protest. Later on met very
intelligent hotel keeper at Berne, IN
Switzerland. and in the course OF con-
versation he remarked that he had an
extremely agreeable countryman OF
mine staying at his house the previous
season. AS you are both Yankees he
said, you may by chance know him.
Where does he live? l asked. IN
Buenos Ayres,' replied the hotel
keeper. New Orleans Times-Demo-

"Call and settle at your earliest con-

He did n1t want TO tell the hatters
partner that the piece OF head-dress
had been ruined by the other member
of the firm; neither did he like to call
the attention OF his good-natured as
sailant to the set-on to the firms bill
against him. SO he let the matter
drift.
Early this week the representative
OF collecting agency called upon him
and asked for the payment of the two
dollars and also OF s1.4l costs entailed
In the collection.
The matter has now arrived at its
critical stage, ana the Wayfarer Is
watching the progress OF its adjust
ment. There appears to be a firm de-
termination on the part OF the clerk TO
avoid settlement, and he is doubtless
wondering whether 1t wouldn't have
been better for him to have gone
down to the store in the first place and
told the whole story, relying upon the
justice Of the cornwall member Of the
firm to afford him the relief to which
be was entitled.

The audience assembled at the Grand
Opera House to witness the prcduc-
tion of The Power of the Press" was
treated to a performance that was not
down on the program.
Occupying the left box was a middle
aged woman, apparently of good social
standing. whose peculiar actions at
tracted the WayEarer's attentionincom-
mon with the rest OF the audience. She
was evidently i'll at ease for some rea-
son, as She moved from one chair TO
another, removed her wrap, then read
justed ct, took off her hat, only to re-
place il in a few moments, and other
wise made herself consplcuous. She
carried a bundle containing a pair of
shoes. The woman was evidently either
known to the players or imagined sne|
was, as she constantly smiled made
gestures and pointed to the actors. Ri
nally She got up and left the theatre,
but in a few moments returned with a
bunch of immense chrysanthemums
tied with white ribbon. These she
carried to the box, and after several
movements threw them on the stage at
the feet Of Miss Margaret DiIbdin, whom
she seemed to particularly admire. Be
tween every act she changed her seat,
leaving the box and proceeding to the
last row Of seats and sitting down be-
side a young man, entertained MIN
throughout the next act with history
Of herse.f. her home and belongings.
During one of these conversations
the Wayfarer heard her remark to her
faithful companion: do You know /
love the stage and those girls upon 1t
tonight, all such dear, sweet creatures,
l love them all" At another time she
said: Now, just think, I'll be 81 my
next birthday and not a wrinkle upon
my face. See hcw fair my complexion
is. My friends say l ought TO go on
tAe stage" At the next intermission
she would go again down TO her seat
in the box and repeat her actions OF
arranging her hat, veil and wrap. The
woman was evidently unbalanced.

THE GAME THEY BAGGED.


Some days ago three young business
men, OF this city. went over into Mary
land for a days shooting. When they
returned the Wayfarer asked one OF
them what they killed.
Three rabbits. partridge and a
dog" he replied. Il feel sorry about
the dog, for it was an excellent hunter
and we had borrowed him." he
continued. Before It received its
Quietus at the hands Of one OF our
party it had brought us in a rabbit
which was dead and which hadn't a
shot mark on IT, We Immediately con-
Guided that 1t had surprised the rabs
bit, killed It and brought it to us. AT
the time of the' fatality this dog was
in the bushes hunting around for a
fresh trail, One Of our fellows saw
it moving in there, thought 1t was a
rabbit, and banged away. There was
yslp and then silence. He made has
way to the spot and found the hound as
dead ais a door-nail. Before we came
home we made up a purse and recon-
pensed the owner. as far as We were
able, for the loss OF his dog"

WHY THEY REITERATED.

The Wayfarer hears a good Jubilee
Joke at the expense OF four young wo-
men who occupy high place In Will

jubilee began they went to Philadel-
phia TO secure sittings for themselves
and eight friends. Seeing a large win
dow with ITO Rent" sign in it one OF
the young women said:
That's just what we want. Let's go
in and engage it. expect we can get
It for a dollar apiece"
They entered the store, were met by
the proprietor, and the one who had
made the suggestion said:
I'VE have a party of twelve, and
would like to rent your window for
the Jubilee"
Il shall be delighted to have you for
tenants" he said.
How much do you want for it?" she
inquired.
-Four hundred dollars" he said
blandly.
Four "Oh. dear me's!" hoated out
simultaneously on the surrounding
ether and then the quartet beat a
hasty retreat.

cane fields i'm the province of Santa
Clara, Cienfuegos being the port of en-
try for that province, are almost ripe
and ready for cutting and that i'm

hauling the teams should be sent into
the district as soon as possible. The

watchers who have been waiting for re-

out the earlier lcs ses almost entirely ana
established a higher range of values than

amounted TO l per cent. or over and the
closing was active and quite strong at
the top. Total sales were 100 shares,
