Not Raised In Florida,

Among the interior decorations of q
restaurant not many squares from city
hall are number of artificial palms.
The palms are as natural in appearance
as if they had been grown instead of
manufactured and probably not one
person in dozen among the restau-
rant g patrons is aware of their artificial
character.
An afternoon or two ago an elderly
couple, evidently from the rural dis
tricts, came into the restaurant and
took seat. They gave their order and
then began to look around.
'"That's handsome palm, Henryi"
exclaimed the woman, pointing to the
largest specimen. II wonder if it grew
that big in here?"
"Of course it didn't" replied the
man, with look of superior wisdom.
cit was raised down in Floridy. That's
where they all grow, and then they are
shipped up here"
just then one Of the restaurants at
taches approached the palm with a
dampcloth in his hand. Taking hold Of
one of the leaves he yanked it from the
stem and began to rub it vigorously
with the cloth. When he had cleaned
the leaf to his satisfaction, he replaced
it and pulled another. By this time
'Henry's" face was study, as was
also that Of his companion.
"I guess that plant didn't grow in
Floridy, after ALL" the woman man.
aged to whisper. "What do you guess,
Henry2"
And "Henry" allowed that he
guessed the same thing.-Philadelphia

Joke on the Major,

The major, just returned from Bos-

II had engaged my berth and was
standing on the rear platform five min
utes before the train pulled out Of the
Park square depot, when middle aged
woman and handsome girl, both la
dies, passed me and entered the car,
accompanied by gentlemanly looking
chap who carried their baggage. A mo-
ment later this fellow rushed up to me
and said he was in most embarrassing
position, had his sister and mother
aboard and had lost his mileage book.
He would introduce me to them and
give me any security for $25. said I

him he came running wildly after it.

A whimsical WAGER,

A young Austrian nobleman. who
had the reputation Of being a brilliant
talker, made wager with club friend
that during the first year Of his mar
riage with the daughter of a certain
count he would preserve a rigid silence
when in her presence, and, in fact,
would not speak single word to her.
This resolution he faithfully kept but,
owing to the fact that the wager was
not made public, some very curious con.
sequences ensued.
His wife. believing him to be insane,
privately sent brain specialist to ex-
anime the taciturn gentleman. He was
on the point Of being conveyed to a
sanatarium when he disclosed the rea-
son of his behavior. When the year was
up, he claimed his wager, which was
duly paid.

Too Honest to Ever Grow Rich

Emerson keeps a grocery store on
Grand avenue, opposite the limekilns,
west Of Western avenue. As all his GUS
toners are either Greeks or Italians, he
keeps stock on hand somewhat differ

One day drummer strayed into the
store Emerson was waiting on an Ital-
ian woman, while her 4-year-old son
was stealing sugar out of a barrel.
Eggs were 18 cents dozen. The wo-
man wanted only one egg. The solitary
prospective chicken was wrapped up.
'Two cents, please" said Emerson.
She paid and received a small slip Of
yellow paper.
"What was that slip you gave her3"
asked the drummer, after she left.
"H'm, you see, eggs are 18 cents a
dozen. That makes ~ cents for each
egg The woman would not pay half
cent too much, and, as I did not want
to sell the egg for 1 cent che paid 2
cents and I gave her the slip good for
one-half cent .>Thus she will get the
next egg for cent if she brings the
slip. "-Chicago Journal

OUTCOME VERY DOUBTFUL

Alaskan Boundary Negotiation. Again
Jeopardized.
{ WASHINGTON, June sS.-The negotia-
tions for modus vivendi regulating
the Alaskan boundary have fallen into
a state that jeopardizes successful
outcome and causes apprehension
among oR.tals. Nothing has been
heard from Ambassador Choate as to
the results of the conference he had
during the day with Lord Salisbury on
this subject, but the last phase of the
case was that the Canadians had come
back with counter proposal in place
of accepting the defnitive American
proposition which had been carefully
drawn with the sole purpose of ire
venting any future controversy over the
points already agreed upon between
Choate and Lord Salisbury.
Instead Of following the lines of the
American proposal and confining the
counter proposal to plain statement Of
the POINTS already roughly indicated us
marking the boundary. this last iss'.e
proposed a radical change i'll the line on
the Dalton trail and was Of Il character
wholly unacceptable to the American
side, involving as it did the transfer
into Canadian jurisdiction of the for
tunes and claims of many American
miners. Unless there is decided
abatement on one side or the other of
the demands, the desired lnodus will be
as unlikely of attainment as was the
permanent agreement on the boundary
question and the chance for reassen-
bling of the joint high commission will
fade away entirely.

Chicago Stock Yards Employees Get an
Advance in Wages.
CHICAGO, June 2S.-The unskilled
laborers at the stock yards have won
their strike and nearly 1000 men. who
have been idle for three or four days,
returned to work at an increase of 25
cents day. This brings the wages of
unskilled labor to the standard of 1893.
The dissatisfaction among the labor
ers had practically been settled, but a
more serious problem confronted the
packers. The skilled workingmen,
who drew from $3.50 to $3.50 per day,
demanded advances which the packing
companies say they will not grant. The
cutters in Armour & Co.'s killing de.
partment struck for an increase of so
cents day. They receive $3.50 a day
and demand IS. Superintendent Con-
way says the firm will not meet the de-
mand as the men are drawing rs much
as they did in 1893. 1t was estimated
that at present only $40 people are
striking and this number includes doz-
ems of boys and girls not over IL years

BIRMINGHAM, Eng. June 27.-Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, addressing the Unionists of
this city during the evening, reviewed
carefully the Transvaal question. In
the course of his speech he said that
owing to the enormous military prep

African Republic, Great Britain had
been compelled to increase the British
garrisons in Cape Colony and Natal,
entailing an additional expenditure of
$500, 900 annually.

proposed in 1894 had been accepted" !"

After denouncing in ths strongest
terms the attitude and actions of the
Beers, Mr.. chamberlain, with great de-
liberation and emphasis. added:
"The Transvaals enormous secret
service fund has procured it friends and
advocates i'll every country. The way
the British subject is treated is not only
menace to them all, but interferes
with cur prestige among the natives,
who now regard the Beers and not the
British as the paramount power. Be-
fore violating the London convention
the Transvaal is fagrantly violating
that equality the convention was de-
signed to accomplish. Its nisgovern-
ment is fostering sore, poisoning the
whole atmosphere of South Africa
The Dutch in Cape Colony and Natal
would be in tho happiest condition, but
SO long as the disease of
Hatred and Suspicion
prevails in the Transvaal it is impossi-
BILE to stop the contagion.
-Four times since independence was
granted we have been on the verge of
war with the Transvaal. 1t is erroneous
to say the British government wants
war, but it is equally erroneous to say
that the government will draw back
now that it has put Its hands to the
plow.
"We hope the efforts that are now
being made will lead to an amicable
arrangement, for Great Britain only
desires justice, but there comes time
when patience can hardly be distin-
guished from weakness, and when
moral pressure becomes farce, that
cannot be continued without loss of
self-respect. l trust that time may
never come in this instance. but if it
does Britons will insist upon the means
to find result essential to the peace of
South Africa"
