O'clock"
-Mr. Jobson was up and logged
out in an old bicycle suit before sun
rise the mex morning. At $3.50 he
was growing about the lateness of
breakfast (Which is ordinarily served
at Sis in the johnson household)
and, as the colored servant was late,
Mrs. Jobson hastily prepared the
meal for him.
Mr.. Jobson bolted the breakfast
n then he went into the parlor,
rolled up his sleeves and proceeded to
prove that he wasn't bound by any of
the well-established rules of house.
keeping by beginning his job there,
instead of first attending to the upper
part of the house. He piled all of the
furniture in the room, including the
piano and all of the pictures from the
walls, in a topping. pyramidal heap
in the middle of the room. This done,
he filled a bucket full of boiling wa
ter, dumped 4 whole can of I've into
that, tore n of his good shirts into
cleaning rags, and dipped the same
into the bucket with the idea of
cleaning the vanished window
frames. He pulled his hand out very
quickly, snapped his fingers, looked
at Mrs. Jobson out of the corner Of
his eye to see if he could detect a
smile on her placid c~ountenance, and
then held his lye-boiled hand under
the cold wafer spigot for ten minutes
or so. Then he chopped a hunk Of
ice off the piece in the refrigerator,
dropped the same into the bucket,
waited for the buckets contents to
cool some, and started in to wash
the vanished window frames. The
strength of the I've solution took the
varnish off the frames in long
streaks, and when Mr.. Jobson no.
ticed this he diluted the I've water
and went ahead. Then he noticed
several spots on the wall paper. With
a wise look in his eye, he went to the
bread box, broke a fresh loaf of bread
in two, got a fistful of the crumbs
in each hand. and rubbed the spongy
crumbs over the spots on the wall pa
per. This scheme-of which he had
read somewhere-didn't seem &c
work, f-r the spots didn't disappear,
in spite of the exertion Mr.. Jobson
put into the task. So he moistened
the bread crumbs. making them into
a sticky paste, and rubbed on the
wall paper spots some more. After
he had rubbed about two square feet

of the paper into a brownish pulp,
exposing the plaster, he gave that
end of his task up, casting 4 slant
wise glance at Mrs. Jobson to see il
she was smiling. But she didn't APP
pear to notice.
When Mr.. Jobson soused water on
all of the picture glasses and rubbed
them squeakily with bits of news
paper, leaving them all in a condition
of perfectly obvious streakiness. Then
he pounded the upholstered seats of
all the parlor chairs with the handle
of a broom, so that ne could barely
be seen by Mrs. Jobson amid the
clouds of dust that he produced.
These and a plenty of other weird
things he did, and after about two
hours hard work he rehung the pic
lures with their smeared glasses.
pushed the piano back into its cor
ner. arranged the chairs where they
belonged. slapped a big feather DUST
er over every article of furniture in
the room. replaced the bric-a-brac on
the mantel, and regarded Mrs. job
son with a triumphant smile.
"Now the parlor's all DONE" said he.
"What do you think of my system?"
"Well," replied Mrs. Jobson. you
haven't put the parlor carpet down
yet, you know. 1t came back from
the cleane s yesterday. and"
Mr.. Jobson glared at her. Then
he went upstairs, took a bath, and
logged out in his best. He had a grip
in his hand when he came down.
"T'm going down the river for a
couple of days. madam" said he, Sc

cajole me into n%eglecting my BUSH
ness to do your work I'll know how to

FIT TO SERVE AS POLICEMEN.
Commander Tflley seems to Haze
UnbOunded Faith In the Va
tives of Tutuila.

New York, Oct. 9.-Having found
the natives of Tutuila fit to serve as
policemen and maintain peace and or.
der, Commander Il. F. Tilley believes
they would make excellent soldiers to
man the Notifications of Pago-Pago
harbor. In private letters to officers
on duty here he has indicated that
they would make effective artillery
men. To enlist a regiment of natives
it would be necessary to obtain spe-
cial authority from congress. The ma
tives who are acting as policemen
were enlisted by Commander Tilley as
landsmen. 1t is likely, however, that
a force of marines will be permantly
stationed at Pago-Pago.

BRYAN WON'T TELL
When Asked If He Would
Support Dewey.
WOULDN'T DISCUSS MEN
Not Asked to Take Hand in
Congressional Row.

| W. j. Bryan spoke to public audiences
three times in Wichita yesterday, and did
not arrive here until noon. The reception
committee missed him at the depot and
he got down off the car platform and
| walked through the crowd alone, carry
ing his grip. On the occasion of his last
visit here the committee met him I'D the
| road, some of them at Kansas City, and
| others all the way along the road to
Newton. But things have changed since
then.
Garfield hall was not more than half
full when he began to speak the first
time in the Afternoon. 1t was not much
more when he got through. A man got
up in the back part of the hall after the
speech and proposed three cheers for
the next president of the United States.
Nobody 'whooped. The man, thinking he
had not been heard, tried it again, with
the same result. The audience being in
doubt as to whether Mckinley or Bryan
was meant, refused to respond.
After going to Garfield hall, Mr.. Bryan
spoke on North Market to a big crowd
There were probably 1900 people waiting
for him, though the demonstration was
not what it was two years ago. He was
introduced to the crowd by Harry
Stewart, and spoke for two hours.
Mr.. Bryan was seen at the Carey hotel
last night and asked if, in his opinion,
there was any change of opinion in the
west.
mot much" said Mr.. Bryan, Except
that a good many people who were in
doubt two years ago have seen the re-
suits of Republican rule and are with US
now. I have been in Austin, Tex, for
ten days"
Are the people in the south for ex-
pansion?"
"Not in Texas. That state is always
solid.''

that there is no doubt that the Kansas
vote will go against the Republicans"

Mr.. Bryan talked pleasantly and was
very courteous in hi smanners towards
newspaper men and visitors who called,
and his room was full of Democrats all
the afternoon and evening.
