GOOD FOR WILMINGTON,

not negro blood they want but peace

termined to have if it costs blood to
get them. Since they are not fired
on they simply wait on the characters
that have stood in the way of peace
and order and give them the al
tentative of leaving the city or reap
the punishment they so richly merit.

IS as the surgeons knife that shall

QUEER Mali. NATTER

I'VE run across some very queer
things here sometimes said one OF
the post office employees yesterday,
but think the very queerest piece
of mail matter | ever handled was one
that was brought in three or four
years ago by one of the collectors.
He said when he opened the mail
box he saw a loose stamp lying there
and picked it up. To his surprise he
found a penny adhering to the gummy
side, and across the end-it was a
two-cent Columbian-was written the
address in ink, very small, of course,
but perfectly legible. That was all
there was to it. The cent was the
letter, and the stamp served as an
envelope You couldn't imagine a
more compact epistle.
Did it carry all right"
Il suppose so. The cent was stuck
on tight, apparently, and as the adj
dress was city one, it probably
held until delivered suppose It
was sent partly as a joke and partly
to test Uncle Sans patience. 1t
caused great deal of comment in
the office, and the boys all agreed
that it was one of the strangest
things that ever happened. Pitts

TO GROW PLUMP.
Don't worry Don't lie awake at
night to think about your shortcom-
ings and other peoples sins.
Don't care violently for any one.
Hearts and consciences are opposed to
rounded contours and shapely necks.
Eat meats with fat on them. Eat
fish with white sauce. Eat potatoes,
ccrnstarch, simple puddings and ice
creams.
Wear warm. luxurious clothing, but
be careful not to have it so warm as
to induce preparation, for that will
prove thinning. Do not let it be too
heavy, either.
Eat fruit for your breakfast but not
the tart grape and the tarter grape
fruit. Eat baked apples with plenty
Of sugar and cream, and all sorts OF
stewed fruits, which require sweeten
ing.
Drink milk and cream whenever you
happen to want them If you don't
care for these nourshing drinks cul-
tivate taste for them.
SOME SMALL SAYINGS.
The man who is always waiting for
something to turn up usually mas
himself turned down.
There is frequently more pleasure in
one broken down roller skate than IN
'9S wheel with all attachments.

man, she knows the whole sex; when
man understands one woman, the
rest are a sealed book TO him.
