a Grasping Man.

''Bixley is one of the most grasping men
ever saw. He is always reaching out
after things that he has no right to-" said
the first man, according to the Cleveland
Leader.
'I know it. He isn't satisfied to remain
in his own channel He first started in
the dry goods busines; then he got to sell
ing shoes; next thing we knew he was
handling jewelry; now he has added art
to his stock, and nobody knows what he
will want to grasp at next"
Eyes, and the other morning 1 came down
town in the same car with him. Just be-
fore we reached the crossing where he al
ways get off a beautiful young lady got
aboard. / was going TO offer her my seat
but what did Bixley do? He jumped up,
took off his hat. bowed, got a bewitching
smile from her and then rode a block FAR
ther than he intended to go, just TO make
her believe that he had accommodated
her. I've no use for a fellow of that
kind

Says the Philadelphia Record: The ex-
tent to which the Smith family figure in
general affairs was demonstrated yester-
day in the case of an oyeTcoat thief, who
was brought up for punishment in a mag
istrate's court. The prisoners name was
John Henry Smith, and he looked accu-
rately the part he had played in purloin-
ing another mans garment. The police
man who caught the daring lawbreaker
and dragged him to the bar of justice was
William Smith, the typical terror of law
breakers. The judge before whom Pris-
oner Smith was brought by Policeman
Smith was Magistrate F. K. Smith. The
trio of Smiths all had to smile when the
fact was brought out that the Smith
family was SO we'll represented. The color
Of John Henry Smith, the prisoner, pre-
cluded the possibility of his claiming re-
lationship with the Smiths, who repre-
sented the dignity of the law, and the best
that could be done for him was a sentence
of three months. The smile which spread
over the faces of the three Smiths at the
bar grew into loud guffaw a moment
later, when Officer Edward Smith appear
ed at the bar with prisoner charged with
drunkenness, who looked wise when ask
ed his name, and replied: John Smith,

A Story of TOIsfoi.

Last winter a club in Moscow gave an
amateur performance of a comedy by
Count Tolstoi, who had promised to be
present at the last rehearsal, says the
New York Tribune. A policeman was
stationed at the door of the club house
with orders TO admit no one but the
Count. Presently a peasant dressed in
sheepskin came along, passed the police
man unceremoniously and proceeded up
the steps. He was told to halt, but paid
no attention to the command. This was
too much for the policeman, who ran aft
er him, seized him by the collar and land
ed him in a heap of snow. Then the
Count told him who he was, and the po-
lceman, with apologies, allowed him to
enter. 1t so happened that in the comedy
to be performed a peasant is shown TO the
door by his master. The part of the mas
ter was not played to the satisfaction of
the Count, who said the actor did not
properly enter into the spirit of his part.
Il know what 1 am talking about" he
added ''for l have just been thrown
downstairs myself" Whereupon he re-
lated the incident, to the amusement of
the club members.

says the Philadelphia Record, "has to a
certain extent, initiated college customs,
but genuine novelty in this line has been
sprung ON the public. Thejpupils of bar
Der school INDUCED in a little blow out
recently, and during the evening some in
genious youth proposed that they should
adopt college yell. The suggestion made
a big hit, and after Lively discussion a
cry was gotten up which suited every one.
Later in the evening pedestrians were
startled when a crowd of merry young
sters passed along shouting:
3" 'Rah! 'Rah! Rah! We're scaIpers, by
gum!
Haircut, shampoo, shave, bay rum!
Next! Next! Next .

A certain archbishop of Dublin was, to-
ward the end of his life, afflicted by an
absent -mindedness that often led to start
ling developments, says the San Fran
cisco Wave In the midst of a dinner
given by the lord lieutenant of Ireland the
company was startled by seeing the arch
bishop rise from his seat looking pale
and agitated, and crying: 1T has come,
it has comet What has come your
grace?" eagerly cried half a dozen voices
from different parts of the table. What
l have been expecting for some years-a
stroke of paralysis" solemnly answered
the archbishop. II have been pinching
myself for the last two minutes, and find
my leg entirely without sensation" Par
don me, my dear archbishop" said the
hostess, looking up to him with quizzical
smile. pardon me for eontradicting you,
but it is me you have been pinching!'

THE FouCE NEEDED IN CUBA.

There is a wide difference of opinion be
tween Gen. Miles and Adit Gen. corbin
as to the number of soldiers needed in
Cuba to preserve order there. Gen Miles
says that 5000, are sufficient and AdJt.
Gen. Corbin thinks that 10000 are none
too many. II seems that Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin bases his opinion on reports received
from generals who have been in Cuba or
are there now.
If Gen. Miles plan were carried into
effect il is probable that II would not be
necessary to send more than 25,OOO troops
there. His plan is to enlist native Cubahs
in our army and place them under Amerl-
can officers. That plan would do after con-
ditions are changed for the better, but 1t
might be risky TO put ii in force at this
time 1t might happen that the Cubans
would not approve of our acts, and then
the Cubans in our army might become
the source of a great deal of trouble. AS
soon as the Cuban situation becomes set
tied, however, and the Cubans have con-
fdence in our government, it is probable
that even less number than 5000 Amer
lean troops would be sufficient to preserve
order.
The reason Gen. Miles gives for not
sending any more soldiers to the island
than is absolutely necessary is good one.
1t is that our soldiers viii find it difficult
to stand the climate. They will get along
all right during the winter and spring,
but in the summer they will doubtless
suffer severely. Ali the world knows now
the Spanish suffered from the yellow fever.
1t Is true they were careless about sani-
tary matters, but even with the best of
care and the wisest of sanitary regula-
tions there will be some fever in the is
land until a thorough system of drainage
has been inaugurated and the lands
have very generally been brought under
cultivation. AS soon therefore as possible
arrangements should be made for the en-
listment of natives of Cuba into our army
for the purpose of police duty on the
island
1t is claimed by some members of Con-
gress that a regular army of 100000 would
be altogether too large for our needs. 1t
would not If 1t is necessary, as Gen. Cor
bin claims it Is, to have 30 600 troops in
Cuba, 6OO0 IN Porto Rico and $4,000 in the
Philippines. According to these figures,
only 1900 would remain as a reserve at
home No doubt there will be a prolonged
debate on the question of enlarging the
army. In justice to the volunteers, how
ever, Congress ought to settle the ques-
ton in respect to the size of the army as
soon as possible. They have complied
with their contract, which was to remain
in the army for two years, or during the
war if the war ended in less than two
years The war is ended, and the volun-
teers should be mustered out at the earliest
possible moment consistent with the best
interests of the country. They have per-
formed their part of the contract and the
government should perform its part Just
as soon as IL can.

opera Under DimcuIties.

A comic opera troupe in Anthony, Kan,
the other night played under difficulties,
says the New York Tribune. The fine
snow drifted in around the windows of
the north side of the building and formed
in little heaps on the back part of the
stage. The drop-curtain bellied out from
the north wind like the mainsail of a
square-rigged ship. The gas did, not work
well, and a few electric lights made vis-
BILE the gloom. The women wore their
capes, and the men in the audience kept
on their overcoats. When the drop-curtain
went up a cold wave of air spilled over
the footlights and settled on the audience
like a wave of ice water. The pianist
wore a golf cap and an overcoat, putting
his hands in his pockets between plays
to keep his fingers supple. On the stage
the actors and actresses, who were in
tights and decollete, shivered and turned
blue from the cold. The members OF the
chorus slapped their arms and rubbed
their fingers in a vain attempt 60 keep
up the circulation. When chance offered
to get off the stage they tarried not, but
flew for the redhot stoves of the dressing
rooms

WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT.

savannah extends a sincere and warm
hearted welcome TO the President, with
the hope that he may be pleased with his
visit. The city would have felt herself
honored highly by the presence of the
chief executive of the nation, without
other consideration; but on this occasion
after the broad, liberal and tender tribute
to the dead sons of the South, made by
the President in his speech to the Geor-
gia Legislature on Wednesday, there will
be deeper meaning than mere courtesy
in the pressures of the hand which will be
exchanged between visitor and hosts to-
day and tomorrow. There will be ex-
pressed in the salutations to the President
appreciation and recprocation of the fra
ternal feeling which he has so gracefully
made known, and respect for the Chris
tian gentleman and tepder husband, as
well as honor for the statesman who has
successfully conducted the affairs of the
nation through a crisis, and who repre-
sents the highest and most honorable
office on earth
Should the weather prove propitious,
President Mckinley will be shown one of
the fairest and most progressive, and at
the same time most patriotic cities of the
republic over which he has the honor to
preside. For. while Savannah is busy
with commerce and trade, she does not
lose interest in the Institutions of our
country. That she loves them, and is
