If the New York newspapers gauge


If the New York newspapers gauge
public sentiment in their community
correctly, it seems that Richard Croker
has now the fight of his life on his
hands. An effort is going to be made
to GUST both him and Tammany Hall
from the control of municipal affairs,
and the indications are that it will be
the most powerful effort that was ever
directed against the Democratic boss.
Il may be that Boss Croker will have
70 appeal to Boss Plat to save him. 1t
- pretty generally believe that the two
bosses work together sometimes.

Tolstoi.s Sense of Honor

At one music party at Count Tolstoi's
lady's singing dfspleased the counts
boys, and they adjourned to another
room and made noise. Their father
lost patience and went after them, and
characteristic admonition ensued.
Are you making a noise on pur-
pose" he asked.
After some hesitation came an an
swer in the affirmative, "Y-y-yes"
Does not ner singing please you|
well, no. Why does she howlY de-
clared one of the boys, with vexation.
80 you wish to protest against her
singing?" asked Lyeff Nikolaevitch in
serious tone

one present. That would be rude, but

The Roar of Battle.

: The roar of the navy's four point
seven's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the shrap-
mel, the barking of the howitzers and
the mechanical, regular rattle of the
quick firing Maxims, which sounded
like the clicking of many moving ma
chimes on hot summers day, tore the
air with such hideous noises that ones
skull ached from the conclusion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus of mighty thunder and pet
ty hammering was the roar of the
wind which was driven down into the
valley beneath and which swept up
again in enormous waves Of sound. 1t
roared like great hurricane at sea.
The Illusion was so complete that you
expected, by looking down, to see the
Tugela flashing at her banks, tossing
the spray hundreds of feet in air and
battling with her sides of rock. 1t was
like the roar of Niagara in a gale, and
yet when you did look below not leaf
was stirring, and the Tugela was slip
ping forward, fat and sluggish and in
peace.-From with Buffers Column, -
by Richard Harding Davis, in Scrib-
ner's.

One More Eulory.

Lieutenant A. w. Thomson says, in
The Independent, that when the civil
war was practically over he was sent
from the camp at Lincolnton to Char
lotte, N. c., under a flag of truce. He
entered the town and was conducted to
General Echols' headquarters in a
large upper room, evidently school
room.
Our guide pointed out the general
table advanced and laid my papers
on the table.
General Echols, presume?" l said.
"These dispatches are from General
Gillian. Shall l wait for an answer|

came up to me, shook hands and said:

strangers"
He had been our prisoner year or
SO before. While we chatted gentle
man in a civilian gray suit turned to
address General Echols. The cold stare
of glass eye caught my attention, and
the features We're somewhat familiar.
"Ah, Jefferson Davis! Are you here,
pressed to the WALTZ? was my first
thought. His face was far more pleas
ant than our northern papers had pic
tured it.
a dispatch was handed to General
Echols, who read and reread it with an
earnest, anxious lok. Half rising, he
passed the paper to Mr.. Davis, who read
it slowly and then handed it back.
Well" said he, I'VE have lost a
generous enemy

sparins Of Her Remedy.

would turn out well.

us put our trust in the Lord. l pray
every night that we may have no rea-
son to regret the risk we are taking"
The affair seemed to turn out pretty
we'll right from the start. Handsome
dividends were paid all through the
summer and during the winter, and
great JOY was in the home of this man
and the sharer Of his fortunes.
But there came turn about a month
ago. The business ceased to pay, and
since then the losses have been increas-
ing every day. Nothing was said about
1t at the fireside around which so much
happiness had centered during the last
year until the other day, when it was
suggested by the worried husband that
it would be well to cnt down expenses
Questions followed. as a matter Of
course, and then it had to be confessed
that the business was not going well.
Dear me!' exclaimed the distressed
woman when all the truth had been re-
vealed to her. II must begin praying
again tonight" - Chicago Times Her.

the slightest attention to his personal

his money on expensive cigarettes. He
