choates' joke on PhIladelphla

Mr.. Choate, ambassador to England, IS
credited with the latest joke on Philadel-
phia. 1t was at a dinner given to him by
the members of the Philadelphia bar The
toasts of the evening had been given. when
the chairman, with a joeular remark called
for eulogy of the Quaker City, relates the
New York World
Mr.. Ch0ate rose and with bow began
what promised to be magnificent eneo-
MUM upon the glories of the city of Penn.
So magnificent, indeed were his compli-
ments that feeling of apprehension be-
gan to creep over the company. 1t occurred
70 them that perhaps there was an element
of sarcasm in these honeyed phrases. FL
nally the speaker paused.
II wish to congratulate you especially"
he then said, upon the possession of two
of the most distinguished citizens since the
day of Washington-Albert Gallatin, Of
Geneva, and Benjamin Franklin, of Boston.
Reserve Left No Dead Soldiers
A number of reservists before leaving for
the Cape were entertained to a farewell
supper the other evening by their fellow
workers, says the Dundee Journal. Now,
boysg? said the chairman, after an appro-
pirate speech, treat what is on the table
as you would the Beers" As the feast end
ed one of the reservists was observed by
the chairman slowing away bottle Of
whiskey in his pocket.

ed the chairman. good-humoredly.

ment of all, I'm only obeyin' orders. Ye

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE

Tuesday was the eighth consecutive
cloudess day in Birmingham and the dis
trict, and it was a great day for the town
and for the State Fair. The weather was
so mild. so bright, so balmy that even
tnvalids were tempted out of doors, and
persons went to the fair who for months
have been most Intimately acquainted with
aches and pains, All who could walk
abroad did so in order 10 enjoy one of the
most perfect days possible in this delightful
climate in any season of the twelve-month.
So the fair prospered because of nae
weather. And in the early afternoon Judge
Feagin decided in effect mat Tie police did
not have the legal right to prevent the full
success of the fair. This mad a most slim
ulating effect upon everybody, wiyh the pcs
sible exception of the ''unco guid," and SO
the attractions aad prospects of the fair
brigntened wonderfully.

A remarka BILE accident befell an Eng
lish cyclist. He had been few miles
into the country to see some friends,
and was riding home along lane about
10 o'clock p. M, when he suddenly re-
eeived sharp blow on the chest and
was lifted completely out of the saddle
and thrown with considerable violence
to the ground, where he lay for some
minutes partly stunned. On recovering
his senses the cyclist looked around to
try to find the cause of his extraordinary
spill.
1t did not want lot of finding, for
it was very apparent in the shape of a
stout rope which was stretched across
the road The rope, it appeared, was
fastened at one end to gypsy wagon
standing by the side of the hedge, and
to horse at the other In search of
fresh heritage the animal had strayed
across the road, and, startled, no
doubt, by the sudden appearance of the
bicycle light. had thrown up it's head.
drawing the cord taut at a height of
Eve feet or SO from the ground. In the
darkness it was imperceptible. and,
catching the cyclist breast high, it flung
him from his machine with scant cour-
tesy.

Desperate Encounter In Which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain
Probably the most desperate tight
which has ever been witnessed between
couple of sharks and human being
took place at Havana some time ago.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded a
large mailboat, and among them was
swarthy, bare legged young chap noted
among his comrades as clever swim
mer. The purser of the vessel was stand

in his arms, watching couple OF shirks
that were hanging about the ship. Ac-
cidentally the child fell out Of its ia

Immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child, and in moment the
sharks were making for the pair.
Seeing the predicament, the bare leg

basket and went over the rail lie a

As the first shark turned on its hack

victim-the young fruit seller ros. to

The other was not nearly so easily

with revolvers, but the young fellow
begged the men to desist, being un-
nerved by the firing. Fish and man

and plunged the knife in its side.
The water was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to the deck of the vessel, aid

GREETING.
MANY wears have sped

Many years have sped
Since first saw your orange covers,
And with them youth and strength have lied
Old friends are gone and youthful lovers
But, even as in days gone by
You came to bless my scanty leisure.
Still in your pages descry
A yelling fount of quiet pleasure.
Go on, old friend, and as of yore
You bid US company with sages,
Walk with them still as heretofore,
And may no evil mar your pages.
And when deaths deep forgetfulness
Has closed for me all earthly pleasure
May Chambers still remain to bless
Those who come after-in full measure.
