A LITTLE BIT OF A DARKY.
He Told His Story We'll and Reaped

He Told His Story We'll and Reaped
 His Reward.
 He was a little bit of a darky, not much hgger than a lump of coal and not much whiter, and when I called him up to do an errand for me across the street his eyes snapped as if they were electrified.
 "What is your namef" inquired.
 ''Tank, boss." he answered, with a bow and grin.
 That's a queer kind of a name Your people aren't temperance folks, are they2"
 Deed, boss, I dunno Dey calls me Tank. but my names Pasquotank Per quimans. i"
 "Ohr I laughed. ''Tbat's name enough for two kids like you. Where do you come fromf'
 "I'se fun Norf Ca Tiny. boss.
 "What are you doing so far from home?'
 'Doin the best kin, boss.
 He stopped a moment to study.
 "How much have you made today 2"
 "When I gets de 10 cents you's gwinter gib me. he said, with a shrewd little snile-I had not agreed upon a price at all-"an I gets 10 cents mo fun de nex' gem man it'll make 20 cents, boss"
 ''Is that allf Ycu cant live on 20 cents day. can you2"
 A shadow, if a shadow could show there, came into the little black face, and with it hard line as of determi- nation.
 "I'se gotter lib. boss, D he said. ''I cain't die, fer dey ain't nobody but me ter take keer obs nanny, an she's mighty poly mos ob de time. :"
 Possibly Pasquotank Perquimans was working on my sympathies and his story may have been told many time before, but I think not, and I know that his revenue for that day was more than 90 cents. s.-Washington Star
 Fun For the shah.
 During the winter months the little colony of 50 or 70 English people at Te- heran organize concerts for one anoth- CTS amusement. There is dance now and then at the legation. and when the weather is cold of course there is skat- ing. Skating is the greatest marvel of all to the Persians. Some years ago the late shah, NaE-i-Din, saw 20 skaters twirling and curling and spinning gracefully on the ice. He was amused. He thought it wonderful The next day he sent to the legation and borrowed dozen pairs of the skates. These he made his ministers put on and attempt to skate on the lake in the palace grounds. The poor ministers were ter ribly discomited, but it was twice as much as their heads were worth to re- fuse. His majesty was more amused than ever, and he nearly had an apo plectic fit from laughing.

four inches, and these are generally
worn with a center of plain color and
a border of contrasting shades. When

WOMEN AS CRIMINALS.
Axioms Formulated by Chief of
Detectives Respecting the
Fair sex,

Ben" Bohen, veteran San Francis
co detective captain. gives his views Of
women as criminals in these philo-
sophie aNoms:
Women as criminals are very smart,
but they cannot keep crime hidden so
well as a man.
y woman is more desperate in love
affairs than in anything else. Men get
desperate about money matters.
If woman Of the criminal type loves
man she will, as a rule, do almost any
thing to win him.
1t Is difficult to convict women of
murder; the jurors are men. and they
sympathize.
Men don't want TO have women
hanged, but jury of women might go
TO the other extreme.
Women don't like women as well as
men like men.
A woman has no sympathy for an
other woman who has done wrong. but
often man has sympathy for a wrong
doing fellow and Will help him out.
: If man doesn't like a man he wants
TO have the other know ii. 1t is just
the reverse between two women.
A halfway decent woman will do
anything to hide a criminal who is her
lover.
Get woman in tight place and she
will tel about crime quicker than a
man would.
When woman is led to believe that
a man has given her up she is apt to tell
about his crimes
Men Kill themselves when they are
broke; women don't. The women can
stand 1t better and are more used to it.
Most OF the suicides Of women are on
account of desertiou.
When man is deserted he gets an
other girl and begins life over.-San
Francisco Examiner.

ders should be avoided becanse fbov

nent hygienists, who have given the
matter most study, regard these DOW
GERS as an evil that should be suppress

Wisconsin alum powders are not per
mitted to be sold unless thew are
branded to warn consumers of their
true character. while i'll the District Of

the direction of Congress adopted
regulations to prohibit the uses of al

AR not the people of other states
as we'll AS those of Minnesota and

them at close hand, and is not the
whole country entitled to absolute
protection, as the people of the DIS

Until we can have protection in the
form OF statute, how can our state
boards OF health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
in designatin the alum powders to re
member that all powders sold at 25
cents or less per pound are of this
dangerous class. Pure cream of tar
tar powders are usually sold at from
