A Clevelander who made a trip to
Washington says that. much as he was
impressed by the beauty and grandeur
of the national capital and Its sur
roundings. the thing he will remem-
ber longest was a remark he heard
made by a colored deckhand on one
OF the handsome boats that take daily
trips up and down the Potomac.
These boats stop at many of the pic
turesQue little Virginia and Maryland
river towns that dot the banks of the
historic river and take freight ship
ments to and from Washington. One
of the things shipped from one of the
down river towns on the boat the
Clevelander rode on was a goat of the
sort that delights the average small
boy. The Clevelander was wandering
about the boat, interested In the diff.
ferences between the Potomac sriver
boat and the Lake Erie craft with
which he was familiar, when he no
ticed the cOlored deckhand standing
almost mOtlonless before the goat
which was tied to one of the supports
of the upper deck. He was scratching
his head and apparently very much
puzzled.
whats the matter?' the Cleveland.
CT asked the deckhand.
Why" answered the colored man
"de goat done eat up whar he gwine
to-"
The goat had simply chewed up and
swallowed the tag on which was the
address to which he was being ship
ped.-Cleveland Leader.

William NJ. Evarts dearly loved q
joke-so dearly. indeed. that once. when
secretary of state, he came nigh upon
being the death of one Of bis subordi-
mates. Az consul in the West Indies
wrote hotne stating that bis health In
that climate was bad and asking for a
transfer. At that time there happened
to be a vacancy In northern Sweden.
and to 1t the astonished and dismayed
consul was transferred instanter by
Mr.. Evarts. 1t was not what he had
bargained for, and, as an icebound
winter was a change that would have
meant translation for him to another
sphere, the secretary finally relented
and gave him berth elsewhere.
At one time In the department OF
state a new elevator man had been en-
ployed who did not know Mr.. Evarts
by sight In his ear was conspicuous
sign to the effect that by order Of the
secretary of state smoking was prohib-
tied. Late in the day the secretary
boarded the car in company with ia
nous senator, the latter smoking ci-
gar The new man promptly touched
the smoker on the elbow and said,
pointing at the notice. Cant you read
that signT Mr.. Evarts promptly tore
down the offending notice and. turning
to the elevator man. said: what sign
I don't see any" The attendant, sus-
pecting something, wisely held bis
peace, but he followed the pair out
and asked the guard at the door who
the little chap with the large head
was. The guard told him.-New York

The citizens of London indulged in q
riot to celebrate the relief of Mafeking.
The London papers say that this mad
ness was not due to any real glory of
the British arms, but to admiration for
the patience and endurance Of Colonel
Baden-Powelps men. There are Amer
lean citizens who fast for from 20 to 40
days and many others who are COM
PEELED to fast by besieging trusts and
monopolies, but the country does not
go mad in admiration or riot because of
their endurance.-National Democrat.

Had the good old fashioned Gus

at this day and age, they would
have never rung more merrily than
they would have in Sedan last
Wednesday The bride is young
lady, born and raised in Sedan,
grown up into womanhood. pretty
and loveable, known and respected
by everyone here. She is very
popular member of society. and

our honored and esteemed citizen,
T. G.. Miller. and graduated vith
high honors from the Sedan High
school in 1899. The groom, al
though a stranger to us, is a prom
ising young man, we'll worthy the
charming bride he takes from
Sedan's social circles.
The bridal party marched to their
places beneath the arch and bell
of ferns and geranium leaves.
They were married by the pretty
and impressive service of the Epis-
copal church. The bride was
handsomely dressed in white silk
with pearl trimmings and pleated
train and carried boquet of white
roses. The groom was attired in
conventional black. After the
ceremony the guests repaired to
the pretty decorated dining room
and sat down to a well spread table
and partook of an excellent dinner
with the bride and groom.
After dinner was over, the bride,
attired in a gray travelling suit
and the bridal party. with hosts oi
friends and relatives, drove to the
depot, where they bade theil
friends goodbye, taking the west
bound train for their far away
southern home. They take with
