SHORT LIVED COMPLIMENT.
Archibald Forbes Experience with
CoIorcd Cnbmnn.

There is delightfully."- human story

own expense, Of his qualification at
the apparent desire Of the "mnn and
brother for higher intellectual cul-
ture. On arriving at the station at
West Chester, Pa, where he was TO
lecture. a colorod cabman, II Is said,
offered his services to convey hlm TO
his hotel. When he got there, Mr..
Forbes asked the extent Of remunera-
tion expected for the Journey. The
darky replied:
"Well, sab, II you'd Jes' give me q
ticket TO de lectuT, sab, l should be
right glad"
This unusual request from a cabman
struck him not only as singular and
landable, but as quite complimentary
to him. so he said
"Certalnly. And haven't you got a
mlssisY
"Oh, yes sab; Use got mlsslsi'
"Well. you slnll have one for her"
And he requested his agent TO hand
10 the knowledge seeker the requisite
passes for the entertainment On
reaching the lecture room he cast a
glance over the audience 70 see his col
ored friend, but he had not arrived
nor did he put Ia m appearance. Mex

Danny Lied.

Danny, who is an errand boy In q
brokers' Office, got a job in the same
Office for his chum Harry. Danny set
himself the task Of making Harry ap-
pear to the best advantage during the
probationary period Of his Job. and he
found it necessary sometimes TO use
means that were only Justified by the
end.
Every afternoon Danny had to run
with messages from one Of the ex-
changes TO the Office. a distance of half
n mile. When Harry came, Danny had
to ''break him In" to do this. The first
day that he made the trip from the
exchange Harry staggered into the Of
fee, gasping, with his eyes starting
from his head. For moment he
couldn't speak. The broker looked at
him in astonishment and said:
you ran pretty fast didn't you?
How long did it takeT
-Four minutes and II seconds" Har-
~ painted. looking at the clock.
THAT'S pretty good time" said the
broker
"No, sir" said Harry; mot very
good. Dnnny says he does it every
day in a minute and a quarter."-New

So from that evening on as soon as
twilight fell the Capitol Hill man made
q tour Of the house and lit every jet
from cellar to garret.
"I'll teach 'em TO bunko folksv' he
said to himself savagely as he started
all the burners a-going.
Along toward the end Of the month
he and his wife picked Out another
house and made arrangements for mov-

a number of statesmen were discussing
the future of the country over their

dressing himself to the most promi-

opinion we are drifting directly toward
Imperialism. and you, sir, should be the

Gns orer the reIenhone.

A lady Of the West village decided to
have telephone placed in her house.
At about the same time she also decid-
ed TO have a gas range put in. After a
family consultation she instructed her
daughter to order the telephone. In
the conversation both the telephone
and gas range had been spoken of. and
the daughter apparently became some
what confused, as will be seen by the
following letter which she wrote or
dering the telephone: Dear Slr-We
have decided to have telephone plac-
ed In the house. Please give 1t your
immediate attention. The house Is
not piped for gas, but the street is."-

Makes it Pay.

Abe Cohn. of the Emporium. is an
advertiser and makes it pay. A few
years ago he commenced handling
Indian baskets anG curios to catch the
tourist trade that went through this
city. The idea worked we'll and the
Emporium soon had big stock of
baskets, ETC., on hand. During the
winter months there was drain Of
dollars going out to the Indians for
their work and no sales, AZ Carson was
limited and the people did not care to
put much money into Indian goods.
Mr.. COIN knew that he had a big
thing and all it wanted was advertising.
He placed several ads in Eastern jour-
mails and the results are being felt.
Goods are now shipped to every point
in the Union and even Europe is sup
piled occasionally. III the last number
Of Munsey's Jr., Magazine, can be
found one Of the !.upo ,ium ads. 1t is
q neat piece OF work and half-tOne

arrangement is that the ad vertisement

The story Of the Russian melodrama,
"For Her Sake, which comes to the
Opera House Friday evening, Nov. 23d
leads the spectator through the lights
and shadows OF life's journey whose Ill
innate destination is peace and happi-
ness. but whose intermediary stages
offer some thrilling scenes of trial and
tribulation. There is one scene show
ing the road to Siberia which is said to
be Of intense human interest and thrill
ing effect. There is a ballroom scene
which is described as being d sumptu-
Gus and accurate reproduction of life
among the Russian nobility. The
piece throughout is very handsomely
staged and the company an adequate
one. Seats on sale at Steinnetz's Drug

ever since the robbery occurred he

cerned in the plot, but there is no
