How Woman Was Made.

A small boy in the mission Sunday
school of Bishop Fallow's church pro-
pounded an entirely new theory of
creation last Sunday.
''Who made man." asked the
teacher, beginning as in the good old
days when orthodoxy used catechinns.
''God, was the prompt reply.
''And how did he make him?"
''Out of dust, ma am; nothing but
DUST
'And who made woman?"
''GOd made her, too, ma am"
''How?''
The small boy hesitated, and then
replied cheerfully; ''He caused deep
sleep to fall upon man and then took
out his backbon and made the
woman. ''-Chicago Inter Ocean.

OUR SWEET GIRLS.

A few days ago Missouri farmer
wrote to the Mayor of New Orleans
to secure him a wife from among the
New Orleans girls. The Mayor has
been sick and has been unable per
sonally to look after the interest OF
the Missouri C@lebs, but Mayor
Capdeville's good heart may be relied
on to 10 all he can for the relief of
the stranger.
It's not surprising that Missouri
man wants New CLEANS woman for 4
wife, since, if he has never seen them
he has heard of their beauty and
loneliness. No women are kinder,
more charming or better disposition
ed. They are made to be loved and
love in return, There are fine women
everywhere, but the New Orleans
girl is thus properly described by the
poet of the Boston Herald:
She was bread in old Kentucky,
She was cake in New Orleans,
She was pretzels in Milwaukee,
But in Boston she was heaus.
Evidently the Missouri farmer
wants taste of cake ana he has ap-
piled az the right place to get it
Ne'c Orleans Picayane.

COULDN'T BE BOTH.

| heard q warm discussion in the
rotunda on the phrase MCKINLEY
Democrats, says writer of the At.
taata Journal.
Two men contended that a man
could vote for Mckinley and still be
a Democrat.
But the overwhelming sentiment
OF the crowd which gathered around
was that meE who vote for Mckinley
are Republicans, that they should be
tagged" as Republicans and not al
lowed to vote in Democratic prima-
ries.
This lively passage occurred:
"l'm Democrat" yelled fellow,
"but | voted for Mckinley before and
I'm going to vote for him again"
"You're Republican then, that's
what you are, and your pretended
Democracy fools nobody. If you are
Democrat and vote for Mckinley,
the spangled fellow who rides two
horses around circus ring with one
foot on the piebald and one on the
back is only riding one horse. IF a
man can be McKinley-Democrat,
Republican and Democrat at TIE
same time, why can't a man be an
honest thief or white nigger?"
That broke up the meeting.

The following are few maxims
from Jefferson that Will bear careful
perusal at this time:
The people-the only source of le
gltimate power.
The absolute and lasting severance
of Church and State.
The freedom, sovereignty, and in
dependence of the respective States.
The Union-a confederacy, COM
pact; neither consolidation nor a
Capitalization.
The Constitution of the Union-a
special written graut of powers limit
ed and definite.
The civil paramount to military
authority.
The representative to obey the in
structions of his constituents.
No hereditary office, nor order, nor
title.
No taxation beyond the public
wants.
No national debt if possible,
No costly splendor of admins
tration,
