"A 1 ncIHlss Is s.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-07-04
HE GOT HIS TROUSERS.

Joe Blank had been employed by q
daily newspaper in a large town one
hundred miles from New York. at
the end of three weeks, an unusually
long time. he was discharged for ne
elect of his duties. He was penniless
and ragged. An overcoat he had, 1t is
true, but his trousers were in lamenta-
BILE condition. To get new start he
knew that he must manage to assume
an exterior of at least Semi-respecta-
bility. After applying to his various
acquaintances with the usual result,
he bethought himself of his old quar-
ry, the railroad companies. Having
procured himself Il hammer and a
nail with an especially jagged head.
he sailed forth at an hour when traf-
fic is light. He succeeded in finding
an empty car which he occupied.
Choosing Il spot as far removed as
possible from the eye of the conductor
he sat himself down and producing
this hammer and the nail. he proceed
ed TO drive the latter into the seat,
leaving the jagged head protruding
about half an inch. This accomplish
ed he deliberately sat on the nail and
writhed. The result was a void in the
most important part of his raiment.
Then he arose and hailing the conduc-
tor pointed out him the disgraceful
condition of the seat and the result
The conductor looked at the nail and
at the rent raiment and was compelled
to acknowledge a clear case OF cause
and effect. Blank took the number of
car and conductor and in a few days
the company were threatened with a
suit for S75 in compensation for dam
ages wrought to q new suit of clothes
worn by one Joseph Blank. The com
pany compromised on $50, the original
value of the trousers being about 81. 80
This Is Blanks favorite tale. He is
especially fond of telling 1t to the
young as a useful example Of the meth
DDS which they should pursue If they
are to make anything of a success in
this world.

"Farrago Mel LIbeIlI."

There are two things i'm this world
that are considered of paramount i'm
portance: power and happiness. Power
is not happiness. and IS rarely con-
nected with it.
The worship OF pride is not such n
bad thing, for pride is a property of
nature, which we all ought to wor-
ship.
A marriage for money or position rs
a crime against nature. which she gem
orally avenges.
The existence of real love makes us
think there is something divine in
human nature.
To be loved by true woman Is what
all men crave, although many do not
know 1t.
Human nature Is the most woeful
thing on earth. and the grandest.
When a man really loves women.
he is surprised at the nobility of his
own nature.
Education is learning by other peo-
pies mistakes.
An educated man is one who has ex-
perience without having gone through
the trials.
Real beauty is a thing of love.
Real love is not thing of passion
or jealousy.

this healthful sport among its devotees in
Seattle that the idea of reinquishing It
because OF vexatious obstacles has never
entered their heads. Those who are so
fortunate as to be members of the ex-
elusive Country Club will have an oppor-
tunity to follow their favorite pastime
this summer on the links across the
Sound. and In the meantime the officers
OF the golf club will be figuring out the
best policy TO be pursued in establishing
permanent links In or near Seattle. Sew
eral locations are under consideration,
but no definite steps have been taken.
1t is possible that the eastern shore of
Lake Washington may be. selected as the
scene of future matches. From Fair
weather bay. which Is on the eastern side
of the lake and almost directly east of
Madison street park. north to Juanita
bay, which IL about two miles from Kirk
land, there is much land free of timber.
Some of the golfers think that good and
permanent links might be located some
where within the territory described The
principal objection offered Is that 1t re-
quires considerable time to reach the pro-
posed links and return home From some
unknown source a rumor has gained
ground that the golf and tennis club
would combine and establish fine grounds
with n handsome clubhouse on Lake
Washington.
From conversations with officers of the
clubs II would appear that this was a
premature report The tennis club will
retain Its present quarters on Madison
street corner of Minor avenue. Nothing
was said about any change OF location at

WASHER DECLINES
THAT REWARD.
Intimates That He Ought To
Have All of 1t.
HASN'T ANSWERED THE LETTER
And Tells the Akron Democrat That He
Has Not Been Treated just Fairly
In the Matter--what
He Says.

The News-Democrat announced the
other day that John Washer of Akron,
would receive part of the reward for
the conviction Of one of the men in the
Hartong murder crime. In reference to
the same, the Akron Democrat has the
following:
"Prisonkeeper Washer was seen
Thursday morning by Democrat re-
porter in reference to the above. He
declined to discuss the matter, beyond
admitting that the statement made by
the Canton paper was in substance cor
rect. Officer Washer received q letter
Thursday morning from the prosecut-
ing attorney Of Stark county, asking
him if he would be satisfied with $500.
1t is quite likely that Officer Washer
will make no definite reply to the letter.
He worked two years on the case, and
is inclined to believe that he is entitled
to the full reward offered by the Stark
county commissioners.
Canton officials admit that the detec-
tive work of officer Washer is almost
unparalleled in the records Of Stark
county, and they also admit that his
claim for the full reward is just and
merited."
