More odd Than Even.

Many years ago w. ]. Arkell and
William Berri made an agreement tC
match bills whenever they met.
The original understanding was that
one should give all the odd numbered
bills he had with him in exchange fol
ali the even numbered bills In posses
sion Of the other.
Mr.. Berri got the worst Of this
arrangement many times. Mr.. Arkell
was suspected Of purposely putting q
few odd numbered 81 bills In his peck
ct and then going in search Of Mr.. Der.
ri, who would have to give up a large
assortment Of even numbered bills Of
all denominations.
Although a millionaire several times
over, Mr.. Berri began to feel the strain,
and the arrangement was modified.
Now whenever the two men meet they
match bills by calling the numbers, odd
or even.
A few nights ago they met at din
ner up town, and the first thing they
did was to solemnly haul out rolls of
money and proceed to carry out the
terms Of the agreement When this had
been done, a comfortable slice Of the
Berri roll reposed In the Arkell pocket

saIisbury,s ForeetfuI Habits,

Some time ago Lord Salisbury made
q tremendous attack upon the officials
Of the treasury and blamed them fol
all the mess that arose early In the
war through the lack Of supplies. A
leading treasury official is said to have
gone to him to demonstrate and point
out that the treasury was not to blame
Whereupon his lordship said, "Oh,
meant 1t all for Welby," or something
to that effect.
"But Welby has nothing to do with
It." was the reply.
'What, is he not still at the head of
the treasury
'No. Re retired years ago"
Lord Salisbury had forgotten or new
er knew Of the change. l can't vouch
for this tale. 1t is only given to you to
show what can be said about this aged
and gifted statesman, whose power
and intellectual energy both sometimes
give painful indications Of decay

KinI.y Hair and BIacIs Faces.

"What is the use" asks the Topeka
Plain Dealer a colored mans newspa.
per, "of being black and having kinky
hair? We counted eight different rem
edles for taking kinks out Of colored
peoples hair and four for removing
the black skin In one Of our leading
race journals the other day. This
looks very much as though klnky hair
and black faces will soon be things OF
the past. Now, then, wen be happy
yet, you bet"

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Senator Caftery's Ten Summer Suits.
Miss HOwlRnd's New Role.
More Odd Than Even.

One Of the most noticeable sights
about the senate on hot day Is the
squat, fat figure Of Senator Caffery, the
louisiana gold Democrat Of recent
stump speaking fame. To meet him.

well Numbered suit Of linen homespun.

ing a huge white umbrella lined with
green. gives one as much Of q shock
as RIp Van Wrinkle enjoyed when
meeting the funny little men Of the
Catskills. This is invariably the sena-
tors summer garb. and his friends tell
q story Of how he owns ten suits Of
this comfortable material and cut.
This story is based upon the fact OF
the senator in years past having met
With a tailor after his own heart. The
senator embraced this as the opportu-
rfity Of his life and had ten suits made
% order and put away for the follow
ing summer. With pleasure he watch
cd the approach OF warm spring days
and frequently congratulated himself
before his friends upon his waiting
wardrobe. He liked to dwell upon the
n1bject and often spoke OF his inter
caption Of hot weather. at last the
momentous day arrived. A sum beat
down on the earth hot enough TO pene-
trats the skull Of rice picker.
The senator repaired with supreme
Delight and expectation to his own
apartment and began the search for bis

cal disappointment awaited the sena-
Or. The drawer was empty, and he
devoted a large part Of the season to
booking for "coon" Of about his size
