1t is said that Prof. BlackIe often
told this anecdote "on. himself" This
genial old professor used to form a
very picturesque feature in the EdIn-
burgh streets. He was wlry old pa
trIarch, with handsome features and
hair falling in rinSlets about his shoul-
ders; no one who had seen him could
possibly forget him. One day he was
accosted by vary dirty little boot
black, with this: "shine your boOts.
sIr?" The professor was impressed by
the filthlness of the boys face.
~ don't want q shine, my Lad" said
he. "But II you'll go and wash your
face, I'll give you sixpence."
"a RIGHT, sir" was the lads reply.
Then he went over to a nelghboring
fountain and made his additions. Re
turning, he held cut his hand for the
'Weil. my lad" said the professor,
''you have earned your slxpenee. Here
1t is"
II dinna want It," returned the boy,
with a lordly air. You can keep 1t and
get your hair cut."-Tlt-Blts

Their Commercial cupidity and the

AS disproof Of the theory that Ameri-
cans are shrewd and quick-wItted, and
as evidence that. II they used to de-
serve those epithets, the national char
acter has undergone Of. late myster-
ious psychological change, the Phlla-
delphia Medical Journal contrasts the
fact that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy can
win and retain followers by the hum
dreds of thousands, although she issues
in her own paper and over her own
name the following advertisement of
certain "christlan Science Souvenir
Spoons" the sale of which is minor
but profitable branch Of her business:
ION each Of these most beautiful spoons
Is motto in bas-reliet That every per-
son on earth needs to hold In thought.
Mother requests that Christian scien-
lists shall not ask to be informed what
this motto Is, but each scientist shall
purchase at least one spoon, and those
who can AFFORD 1t one dozen spoons, that
their families may read this motto at
every meal, and their guests be made
partakers Of its simple truth" Let mo-
body think that this Is a calumny, or
even a Joke, invented by The Medical
Journal to bring undeserved ridlcule on
rival practitioners who are taking pa
tlents from the regular doctors. The
lad" Is real and exact. We can vouch
for the fact that It appeared, signature
and all, In The Christian Science
Monthly. Whether, as The Medical
Journal says, It hints at wave Of i'm
becllity spreading over the land, we are
not yet prepared to express an opinion.
That is why the spoon lad" didn't ap-
pear in this column several months ago.

story illustrative of the fact that ma

the situation of the old sailor who was
very fond of tea, and was devoted to
the people who served 1t. But this old
sailor had no society manners, and had
never attended an afternoon tea. He
was afraid Of the ladies. but in some
way he was forced to an afternoon tea.
He went almost in despair, and when
he got back to his ship his mates said:

1t Parkersburg to say in It's headlines:
"oh. It was Glorious-The Fourth and
how It was Passed by the Parkersburg-

The contrast presented in the manners
Of announcing a local observance OF the
Fourth has its amusing features. In
one instance It is pleasing to note that
there were "few DRINKS and but one

to note that the day was glorious. in

A REMARKABLE SPEECH
At the Very Remarkable Kentucky
Democratic Convention.

Democratic convention
New York Times: As remarkable a
speech as delegates to a political con-

that is saying good deal-was deliv-
cred at Louisville last week by William
P. Thorne, one of the candidates for
the lieutenant governorship, who was
defeated by Goebel's man. Beckham.
The contest for this office had been al

the ticket; but after 1t was over

have contented him better, but he was
contented enough to take the stump for

Vile papers say that "bIr. Thorne's
speech was well received" and that the
reference to the proper use Of the par

William Christy. f. ]. Bennitt and ].
NJ Ford to estimate the cost of a mu-
nicipal water works system for PhOe-
nix is convincing proof that CAM, Nor

Mayor CAM has made many promises
to submit the water and sewerage
question to a vote of
E. GAM the people. He was
HIS charged last night at
PROMISES. the council meeting
with having stated last
spring that he was not going
to wait until fall but would
call the bond election right away.
He admitted last night that he had
made that statement. but still he de-
cided to go back on his word. He
proved himself entirely false to his duty
as an officer of the people. and violated
his many promises made to the tax
payers of this city.
The Phoenix water company prepared
a long and fallacious statement of what
the water company was doing and
what the water company thought the
city would do if it owned a water sys-
TEN. This statement was signed by
CAM, Morford and Fickas. City Attor-
hey Darby, water works Attorney
AInsworth, and 3. n. Pratt, superin-
tendent of the water company,
also gave their views. Two MEM
bers of the council. Dyer and Saun-
ders, never saw or heard of this Won
derful statement of the water company
until it was read in the council last
night.

callei to account in the next few days
