How the Darkey Knew His White

TOW tne Oarkey Knew HIS Whlte
Folks.
One of the old-time southern ne
groes went to Boston to make his for.
tune.
After a week of walking up and
down he found himself penniless and
no work in sight.
Then he went from house to house
EFF you please, suh," he began,
when his ring at the front door was
answered, cant you give a po' culled
man work ter do, or somepin' ter eat?"
And the polite but firm answer in
variably was, mo, mister-very sorry,
but have nothing for YOU
Everyone who answered his ring
addressed him as mr." but shut their
doors and hearts against him.
Finally he rang the bell at brown
stone front.
A gentleman appeared and the old
man began:
Boss, I is starvin'. Can't you gim-
me some vittles?"
"You darned, black, kinky-headed
rascal" exclaimed the gentleman.
How dare you ring the bell at my
front door? Go round the backyard
way to the kitchen, and the cook'n
give you something-you black"
But just there the old man fell on
his knees, exclaiming:
Thank de Lawd, foun' my own
white folks at last Thank de Lawd,
l foun' e'em-I foun' 'em!"-Atlanta

1t Will pisappoint StickIers for Con-

"Step, step, step!"
1t was some one mounting the
stairs. 1t was slow and heavy step
and there was something grim and
grewsome about it-something to tell
the listener that the sole owner and
proprietor of the step was a lop-shoul-
dered sun-of-a-gun without enough
mercy in his heart to grease a sun
flower seed.
"'Tis he-the landlord" gasped the
garnet room with white face and pal
pitating heart.
The step came nearer-the frail
door was kicked open and Adamant
F1intstone stood before her and said:
Woman, l am here. If you can
not pay me my rent out you go!"
"Oh, Mr.. Flintstone, have you no
hearth" walled the unfortunate.

as it possible that because l owe
you $120 rent you would drive me
out on the street on a night like
this?"
Il am in the landlord business for
money" was the unfeeling response.
But you can't believe that heaven
will prosper man who has neither
pity nor mercy?"

on my Investments. Will you pay or
shall chuck you out of the Window"
"T-I will pay!" she sobbed as the
storm increased and the wind tried
to shake the stuffing out of the old
tenement.
And pulling two $100 bills out of
pocketbook she handed them out and
received $50 in change, and Adamant
Flintstone chuckled in his frozen
heart as he turned away and left her
trying to choke herself with button
hook.-Washington Post

An Empress Who WrestIes.

The Empress Dowager of China is
described by an English lady, who
has spent the greater part of her life
in the Celestial Empire, as a much
more remarkable woman than most
Europeans suppose. She is an ardent
painter, and her pictures are said to
be admirable specimens Of Chinese
art. Strange as it may seem, her ma.
jesty is also said to be fond of wrestl-
ing, and frequently INDUCES in this
rather virile form of exercise. She is
well read, is fond of European music
and has some skill as pianist. She
is said both by her friends and enemies
to be absolutely without any sense Of
fear, and, needless to say her life has
been attempted number of times.

To Prevent Abuse of Passes.

The Bib Four has adopted a new
plan, so far as the company is con-
cerned, to prevent abuse of annual
passes. The holder of an annual pass
must send his signature to the Audi
tors Office On the train, when the
pass is presented, the passenger must
sign slip, giving the number of the
pass and the point Of destination. This
slip is sent in by the conductor and
the signature must agree with the
original signature in the possession
of the company. This plan has been
in use for some time on the Glover
Leaf and other roads, and has been
found a indianapolis News.

About Placing Of AVN
ings at Court House.
Judge Anderson and Auditor Sisler It
L0ggerheads.

Auditor Ssler told an owning man to
place awnings over the windows of
Auditors Office att he Court House
Friday. The awning man went to
work putting them on the Probate
Judges office my mistake, and had
gotten one of them in position before
the error was discovered. Thereupon
the Auditor ordered the awning man
to take the awning down, but Judge
Anderson objected. The avn
ing man appealed to the Auditor, who
told him to go ahead despite the re-
monstrance of the Judge. After the
latter had kicked the ladder over sew
eral times and threatened to get out
an injunction or fine the Auditor for
contempt of court, the Auditor retired
to his office II badly chagrined man.
The Judge was somewhat bruised by
the Auditors attempt to pull him
through the window because he would
not release his hold on the ladder.
The loud talk of the two officials could
be heard square away.
One of the Commissioners said this
morning that the Auditor has no au,
thority to erect awnings without being
authorized so to do by the Commits
siouers, and it is the intention to hold
up the awning bill when it IS presented
for approval.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, OF
New York, explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard
article know that 1t Is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
do not know why. The simple reason is that
Mr.. Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and other manufacturers do not
use them, because they are too expensive
and do not allow large profits Mr.. Major
tells us that one of the elments OF his cement
gallon, while large share of the So-called
cements and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than stxteen-cent glue,
dissolved In water or citrtc acid, and, In
some cases, altered slightly in color and
odor by the addition of cheap and useless
materials.
Majors cement retails at l5 cents and IS
cents a bottle. and when dealer tries to
sell Ii substitute You can depend upon 1t that
his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on MAJORS cement Is as much
as % my dealer ouyyh, to make on any cement.

+, of Mr.. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over 5000 u month. throughout
