A Matter Of Wonder.


Two men were walking along G.
street at quiet time of the day,
and man was walking only short
distance in front of them. Present
~ in line with their talk one Of
the men remarked:
''AVell, she is one Of the cantan.
kerousest females / ever knew"
The man in front whirled around
suddenly.
"What do you mean by talking
about my wife, sira" he exclaimed
excitedly.
"What the deuce do you mean by
jumping at me like that2" snorted
the startled man in the rear, going
back on his pastern joints.
what did you say, siri"
II merely said that a lady of my
acquaintance was the most cantan-
kerous female ever met"
well, sir, what do you mean by
saying thata"
II don't know that it is any of
your business / don't know you,
and fail to see what you have got
to do with what I say"
but you were speaking Of my
wife,
II was doing nothing of the kind.
/ don't know your wife, any more
than know you."
The man seemed to have been
struck by ray of revelation. He
stopped, stepped back, rubbed his
head, bowed and smiled wan smile.
II beg your PARDON" he said,
with a sweet submissive gentleness.
II thought there was only one like
her in all the world. You have my
sympathy. Good morning" And
with never a word as to who he was
or whence he came, he hurried away
and was lost among the passers en-
the streets. Washington Star.

place where eight Confederates had
been buried, but were disinterred
! and placed in the cemetery at
Marietta. The land is now cult
waited by George Adair and A. J..
Levill. There were sixteen in the
crowd, but but one old Confeder-

Edward Atkinson Acknowledges Dis
tributing 10000 of These Papers.

Regarding the report that alleged sedi-
tious literature" had been circulated among
the troops in the Philippines, an interview
was obtained in Boston yesterday with Ed
ward Atkinson, the vice president of the
Anti-Imperialist League. He said that he
did not think the league was sending docu-
ments to Manila. Continuing, he said:
From information which seems to be
authentic, the only telegraphic messages
which have yet been sent to volunteers in
Manila were sent by the mothers and rela-
tives of volunteers in the Nebraska Regi-
ment-perhaps from others-urging them
not to re-enlist. 1t had not occurred to me
that any missionary work could be done
by pamphlet among the soldiers, who are
being compelled against their will to
slaughter the Filipinos.
when / received this information / sent
my own pamphlets on The He'll of War
and upon Criminal Aggression to the
members Of the peace commission, includ-
ing Admiral Dewey, and to several of the
generals of the army, whom l believe to
be persons OF humane disposition"
TO what extent have your pamphlets
been circulated?'
