a gentle hint, SO they bought an alarm
clock. set it to go eff precisely at noon
and placed it on the professor 5 desk
when they came III to the next lecture
They knew that he was little absent
minded and expected that he would not
notice it
As the noon hour strucl- the alarm
Went of with crash. and these 3t the
class not III ths secret started and took
in the joke at once There was d round
Of applause. The professor waited until
the alarm and the applause were over

gotten il was my birthday An alarm
clock is something my wife has needed
for our servant for some time 1t is a

petites of the 200 or 800 newsboys who
throng Park row. One of the dealers in
giving change to buyer accidentally
dropped dime, and before he had time
to pick it up his brother dealer quickly
stopped down and grabbed it. Then en-
sued an argument in way which only
''frankfurter men can argue. each
claiming that he had dropped the dime
It is very likely they would be arguing
yet had not e young fellow of the Bow
cry type who had chanced to witness
the trouble interfered. Walking up to
the one who had really dropped the
money he said
Oats yer dime dat bloke has, ain t
it?'
'eYes.
well, say, how much will yer GIN

"a nickel, " was the answer.
Then, addressing the other contestant.
the Bowery boy said:

take it away from yer how much will
yer gimme? p
Six cents. was the quick reply

was concluded just as a policeman came
rushing up and grabbed the one who
had dropped the dime and took him to
the station house for disorderly conduct.

Death Of DIR. Hall.

DR.. Julius Hall, formerly of Calvert
county, died suddenly while at the dinner
table, at the home Of his daughter, Mrs
Julia Hall Obsorn, on Monday, aged 81
years. DR.. Hall had been in failing health
for some years, and during the past year
resided with his daughter, who was de-
votediy attached to him. He was fond of
society, was courteous and courtly, and
had made many friends during his short
residence in this county. Funeral servi-
ces were held at Mrs Osborn's home,
''Solitude," on Tuesday evening by
Rev. Mr.. Specht and Rev Mr. Wiles.
The remains were taken to Baltimore on
Wednesday for ihterment.
An account in the Baltimore Herod
of his death spoke of him as follows;
'Dr. Hall was the gentlest of men, with
the urbane manners prevalent in Southern
Maryland half century ago, coupled with
sincerity which, in its thorougncss, was
rare. He never failed to make a pleasant
impression, and it was usually an endur-
ing one, so that many besides his imme
date family both in Baltimore, and in
the counties, will feel his loss"

Campaign Against Slang.

Those who admire English, 'purc and
undefilcd'' will read with pleasure that
Kentucky club women have undertaken
a crusade against slang. The federation
of that State has prepared a petition that
is to be sent to school principals and teach
ers, asking their cooperation with the
Council or Club presidents to secure a
more careful use of English The petition
further declares that the great amount of
ungrammatical and poor English and
slang so constantly heard in the home,
the schoolroom and on the street is an
ofrense to the ear that should not exist.
The petition might have gone still fur
Their and spoken of the torture to sensi

Speech in which syllables are cut off or
cut out, and the sound or honest, neces
sary letters wilfully ignored, says the New
Orleans Times Democrat The posibli-
ties Of the speaking voice are yet only
half understood. There is still hope, how
ever that parents will one day see impor
lance of spending much time on the cult
walton of the conversational voices Of
their sons and daughters.
