Not True to His TenetS.

case where a man voted an open bal
lot at the late election and then brought
charges against one of the judges of the
election, on the ground that that judge
had told how he voted started Member
Miller of the elections board yesterday,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
That reminds me-" said Mr.. Miller,
'of case that occurred in one of the
Cumminsville precincts not long ago.
While the voting was going on a drunken
colored man staggered into the door He
had as nice a jag as was ever toted-one
of those loud-mouthed jags. He wanted
TO vote, and told everybody in the neigh
borhood about it.
viii somebody come heah an show
dis culled Gemmen how fer to mahk his
ticket?" he said as he staggered into the
booth
1.-TWO of the judges arose, according to
their instructions, and went to the booth
Everybody outside could hear what fol
lowed. The 'cullud gemmen had a heavy
voice.
"'What you say?' he yelled. IF l put
NAH cross mahk undah dat chicken it
means dat l votes for a Dimmycrat; if
puts NAH mahk under dat bird ii means
dat | casts nah ballot for Rippublican
What's dis one fer? Oh, OATS de Prohi-
bition ticket, Ell? OATS de one l been
lookin fer gemmen. I'm gwine vote dat

THE NECESSITY FoR POVERTY.

In little talk to young men of the
Fifth Avenue Church, New York, last
Thursday night, Mr.. Andrew Carnegie,
who has so much money that he is greatly
harrassed by begging appeals from peo-
pie who are anxious to help him get rid
of it, threw out some thoughts that are
worth careful consideration, especially by
those who think people would be happier
if everybody were rich.
Among other things he said: you hear
great deal about poverty nowadays, and
the cry goes up 10 abolish poverty, but it
will be the saddest day of civilization when
poverty is no longer with us. 1t is from
the soil of poverty that all the virtues
spring. Without poverty where win your
inventor, your artist your philanthropist
come from? God does not call His great
men from the palace of the rich
There is a great deal of truth in the
foregoing. 1t is a fact that from the
ranks of the poor come the men and wo-
men who conduct the affairs of civilized
society. They furnish the brains for bus
mess the professions, the arts sciences
and in fact for about everything that
makes up the world as it is to-day. There
are of course sons and daughters of
wealth who play important parts in the
worlds affairs. but they are very small
minority. Those who are always railing
against poverty and seeking ways to abol-
ish it are not the wise men of their day
and generation.
Mr.. Carnegie does not believe much in
giving to charity. In the course of the
foregoing talk he said THE real adj
vantage of wealth is what il viii enable
you to do for others. But for every thou
sand dollars given to charity nine hun
bred and fifty might as well be thrown
into the sea. Help the aspiring. There is
no use to boost a man up the ladder I'M
less he is willing to climb himself" And
yet those who refuse to make an effort
are the ones that expect the most boost
ing. The most of those who failed to
getsaong in life do not know how to do
anything that anybody wants DONE and
they do not make an effort to learn to do
anything well. Among those who are
capable there is big percentage who OBJ
ject to making any sustained effort what
ever 1t is seldom that any one of fair
ability and good principles, and who is
conscientious in the discharge of the duties
which devolve on him in the various rela-
tons of life has reason to complain of
poverty.

Regarding the humorous side of his ex-
perlence as a national bank examiner
says the Louisville Dispatch, James S.
Escott, now president of the Southern Ma
tional says: Il had almost completed
the examination of a small and rather
primitive institution in a mountain town
when I found the balance 800 short. /
summoned the president and cashier and
asked for an explanation. Each scratch
ed his head and looked wise. Finally the
face of the cashier lighted up and he
opened a private cash drawer, counted out
500 in greenbacks and threw the wad on
the pile of cash / had in front of me-
THAT makes it all right, l guess ne
remarked
Il asked him how ne was going TO en-
ter the 500 he had just put in to make the
balance on his books. He looked bewil-
dered and finally said he wouldnt enter it
at all.
You see,' he remarked that drawer
I just went into to make the balance is
what we call the outs and over drawer.
It's a great thing. Whenever we're out
OF balance we go to outs and over and
makes things right. Then. again, when
the sheet shows more cash than we ought
to have, the surplus enriches the dra wer.

StOryettes.


Sothern, the actor of "Dundreary''
fame, was once dining at Portsmouth at a
regimental mess, says an exchange. After
dinner one of the officers asked Sothern TO
give them a recital ton. Now Sothern
would not tolerate being treated as an en-
tertainer when he was by way of being
treated as a guest. He coldly declined.
They pressed him. He hotly declined. Still
they would take no denial. AT last ne said,
in "a manner which showed that he was
nettled, but yet yielding: "Well, if you
won't let me off, must; I'll give you the
dinner scene from David Garrick.' " He
did. He had never acted it better. They
were delighted, until, springing TO his feet,
he made his wild tipsy exit, just as he did
on the stage, and dragged the cloth off
the table. and with il all the regiments
priced dessert china and decanters and
glasses etc. Thereupon' he calmly resum-
ed mis- seat, but thereafter Sothern dined
no more with that regiment.
Nearly thirty years ago the late limo
tiny ID. Croker was president of a lecture
course association, and on the list of en-
tertainers was Mark Twain. 1t was the
custom for the president to introduce the
speakers and then to announce the pro-
gramme for the next entertainment in the
course. On this particular evening Mr..
Crocker and Mark came upon the platform
anu NOOh IHelr seats DeIOTe a nan Iull OF
people. Twain waited for his opportunity
and stole a march on the dignifed presi-
dent by stepping TO the front of the plat
form and saying: Ladies and gentlemen,
the next lecture in the course Will be de-
livered two weeks from tonight by Blan-
kety Blank. l have the great pleasure this
evening of introducing to you Mark
Twain Then Mark paused a moment be-
fore he added: 81 would always rather
introduce myself, because then l am sure

er embarrassed, was still sitting back in
his chair and the audience enjoyed the
joke much better than he did.
Richard Mansfield is a nimble-witted
fellow said a minor member of his com .
pany the other day, but he met a scene
manager out West early this season who
was quite his match. The fellows name
is Jack Quinn. He had been familiar in
olden days with Booth and Mccullough,
and was prince at his work Jack al
ways sought to avoid cause for complaint,
and especially did he act in the case of
Mansfield. But kick was Inevitable. A
couple of scene-shifters, after some labor
locus work in the flies came down to the
rear of the stage breathing rather heavily
as a result of their eXertions. Mansfield
CHANGED to walk near them. He nearly
froZe them with a look. Then he sum-
moned Quinn.
The breathing Of these men annoys
me" said Richard.
" I'd answer to the law If I stopped ii ;
replied Jack, with ready wit.
"A stage hand slipped and danced about
a little in the effort to regain his balance
" Your men make too much noce with
their feet exclaimed the actor.
" Hereafter they'll walk on their
hands, was the response,
Mansfield had no more use for Quinn
and during the remainder of the engage
ment they spoke to each other only when
ID was absolutely necessary

ENGLAND FEARS AMERICAN COM
PETITION.

In an address delivered at the Mason
University College, Birmingham, Eng,
last Thursday Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
Secretary of State for the Colonies, said
that England had much to learn from
america, that the American people were
far ahead of the English in matters per-
tanning to general education, and that the
time was close at hand when England
would experience such competition from
the United States in trade as she had never
yet known
Any one who will take the trouble to
look at the steady and vast increase in
our trade within the last twenty years will
understand fully what Mr.. Chamberlain
meant by competition. Our foreign trade
last year exceeded two billions of dollars
the exports and the imports combined.
And it is all the time increasing. The
American workman is superior to the
English workman. He gets better wages,
but he does great deal more work in a
day AS a result the cost of production
in this country is getting to be less than
in England. Consequently this country is
gradually underselling England in the
markets of the world.
England has not only many things to
learn from the United States, but she has
some things to fear. Unless all signs fail
the struggle that is now going on for the
trade of the world will result in favor of
the United States.
