"A western woman who is on a visit
to New York was boarding a street car
in that city the other day. She had
just placed her foot upon, the step and
was preparing to take another step
to the upper platform when, with a
furious "Step lively" the conductor
pulled the strap. The car jerked for
ward and the western woman swayed
back for. a minute, then just caught
herself in time to prevent bad fall
upon the cobb,es. 3
She confronted the conductor with
angry eyes-eyes that had looked un-
dismayed into those of mighty horned
monsters of the prairies.
what do you mean by starting the
car before I was on?" she questioned,

In a moment the western woman,
with a backward golf sweep of the
arm, lunged for the conductors head.
He lodged. The blow sent his hat
spinning back into the track. The
woman entered the car and sat down.
She was flushed, but dignifed. While
the other women passengers were

Emil Opfer of Nyborg is boy who
knows how to keep his name before
the public. A few weeks. ago he
jumped into the sea from new ferry
in the Big Belt to test the capacity of
the life saving apparatus, as well as
the skill of the men who handled
them. He was picked up and cheer
fully paid a fine of $17. Now he has
sold his newspaper for $4,000. For
part of this money he proposes to buy
a Chinese junk, man it exclusively
with Cinnamon, make pleasure trip
through the southern ocean, along
South America and Africa, and finally
return to Nyborg. He expects to cover
his expenses by writing correspond

The National theater of Kristiania,
Norway, devoted a whole evening to
the honor of Holger Drachmann, who
himself was present. He had written
a poem dwelling largely upon the
mutual good feeling existing between
Denmark and Norway. Wilhelm Krag
had written a poem in which he
thanked 1.-THE king Of singers for the
joy which he had bestowed upon his
Norwegian readers. Verdens Gang
calls Drachmann ''the great lyric of
our times, who stands alone in the
world. But above all, and in direct
sense, he is alone in his own country,
which he continually chastises with
the poets thunderbolt and the
prophets denunciation, but to which
he also sends his most intense love
songs. And we are happy in knowing
that he repeatedly and at short inter
walls visits Norway, that he does not
feel as though he were an exile among
US, but feels perfectly at home. /"

Resolutions of Respe ct.

Resolutions on the death Of
Mrs. Emma Doran, a member of
the Parsonage Aid Society.
Whereas, our society is called
to mourn the loss of one of its
oldest and most honored members
Mrs. Doran. In our departed
member we recognized the highest
type of a loyal and faithful christ
ian. She rendered most efficient
service to the society she loved so
we'll. Her life was as sweet in
cense among those who knew her.
Resolved, first, that in the
death of Mrs. Doran our society
has lost one of its most prompt
and jealous members, whose pres
ence gave hope to the older men,
bers and inspired the younger
with greater zeal, Her earnest
ness in this society will ever be
held in fond remembrance.
Second, that, while we deplore
most deeply the removal of so
good a member, we are comforted
by the thought that 'she is at
rest.o
30, blessed the thought Of meeting once
more,
Beyond all the sorrow and pain:
Where nothing is wrong on the heavenly
shore,
And we'll all neet together again"
Third, that we tender to the be-
reaved and grief stricken friends
our earnest and heartfelt sympa-
thy, and commend them to the
care Of a merciful Providence.
Fourth, that these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of our
Society and a copy furnished the
Savannah Courier for publication,

A MAN WHO DIDN'T LIKE
THE PAPER.

Once upon a time, in a far dist.
ant country man went into a
newspaper Office to pay for his pa
per. That suited the editors, for
editors are good deal like other
folks, we are told.
But when the man wanted to
stop the paper, the editor was not
so we'll pleased. And so he ask
ed the man why he wanted to
stop the paper. He asked if the
paper had said something to hurt
his feelings, or if he didn't like
the editorials or if he did not ap.
prove the papers policy, with ref
erence TO expansion or on the
Porto Rican tariff. -
But each time, the man answer.
ed in the negative. The editor had
not struck the right :ord yet, and
he was about to give up in de-
spair.
If he had been anybody but q
newspaper man, he would have
despaired. A journalist would
have given up long before. Jour
nalists can't stand much.
Finally, to bring the man to the
point without evasion, the desper.
ate editor said, "Wheu was the
editorial written that y0u take is
sue with? | want you to under.
stand that | am not for sale. My
convictions are my own. They
cannot be purchased by anyone"
He said this in a boy.stood.on-the
deck voice that he had learned
when he was in school and he was
glad to utilize his knowledge OF
elocution.
He continued, 81 will stand up
for my principles, sir, and nobody
can buy them" Ard he drew
himself ur about nine feet.
The newspaper man was becom'
ing eloquent because "principle''
was his favorite theme. He liked
to talk about it as wei! as many
men do whose principles are only
about six feet deep.
Now, last week had a splen
did editorial on the state of the
constitution and the palladium o.
our liberties. Did you object tc
that'9
so, HI no." replied the sub
scriber. 81 never read an editor
ial of yours in my life"
Then the editor went out into
the back room and hung him
self with the Office towel.
The foreman killed every "ad.'
in the paper and now it is filled
up with boiler plate and the sub
scriber likes it because it has M
opinions.
