He wanted Poker Chips.

A young Frenchman, recently arrived in
this country, found himself a pleasant
boarding place in East Blank street,
where most of the boarders were of long
residence and were we'll acquainted-al-
most as members of a family, says an
exchange. The Frenchman was a bright,
intelligent. gentlemanly fellow, and was
taken into full fellowship very soon. One
night a little poker game was started
a penny ante" game, or something of
the kind. The Frenchman took to it very
quickly and found it was fascinating.
The next day he determined to purchase
for himself a poker outfit to take back
with him to France when he should re-
turn. So he went to a large department
store and asked if they had some
''sheeps."
Upstairs" said the polite clerk, "in
the toy department"
The young man went up two floors, and
again asked for Sleeps

fioorwalker.
When he reached the counter to which
he had been directed a young woman to
whom he made known his want showed
him. a number of wooden sheep, with
wool fastened on them.

well, these are certainly sheep said
the young woman. land they are very
good sheep" Then new idea came to
her, and she added: ''Of course, if you
want something cheaper, you will find
some tin animals over at that other
counter" pointing across the room.

He went with her, and she plotted him
over to a counter on which were piled
miniature ships, yachts and so forth.
There you are!' she exclaimed tri-
umphantly.
But it is no, not zis! 1t is Sleeps Eat

by this time it began to be the general
impression on the floor that the man was
crazy, and this was strengthened by his
explanation that he wanted the Sleeps

HE WAS MIR. cLEvELAND's COUSIN

An item of considerable length APP
peared in many of Wednes-
days northern papers from Jack
sonville, Fla, in which the
statement was made that a dentist
named NJ. B. Cleveland, aged seventy
years, was in destitute circumstances
in that city, and had applied to the re-
lief committee for assistance. 1t is diff
ficult to unders and why so much prom
inence was given to this item. There
are no doubt dozens, perhaps scores,
of sufferers from the Jacksonville fire
who are in just as needy circumstances
as Dentist Cleveland, and who are in
every way just as worthy of assis-
lance. Why is it that the newspapers
have not sought them out and told the
story of their restitution?
Was the news item in question pub
lished because Dentist Cleveland is the
Ex-President's cousin, and that it was
thought that by giving his story to
the public assistance of some sort
would be voluntarily offered him or
was it published as a sort of criticism
of the President, because he has
not provided for this alleged cousin
of his? There must have been some
motive in publishing the item that was
different from the motive which con-
trolls in the publication of an ordinary
news item.
AS a matter of fact the item is of
very little value from the standpoint
of news. If the dentist had not claimed
relationship with the EX-President no
mention would have been made of the
fact that he had applied for assis-
lance. 1t seems therefore, in the esti-
nation of the newspapers which pub
lished the item, its entire value depend
ed upon the dentists statement that
he was a cousin of the Ex-President of
that name.
1t may reasonably be expected there
fore that whenever any one of the Ex-
Presidents relatives gets into trouble
the story of his troubles, however tri-
vial, will be regarded as an item of i'm
portant news by a large number of
newspapers. The Ex-President may
get some satisfaction out of the
thought that he still couples a large
place in the minds of the American
people, though he may not enjoy being
dragged into the newspapers whenever
any one of his numerous relatives
meets with an accident or gets so poor
that he has to ask the public for as
sistance.

HAVE HIS VIEWS CHANGED 1.

Doubtless there are those WHO are
asking whether or not the opinion of
Tom L. Johnson, Mayor of Cleveland.
O., respecting the assessment of street
railroad property in that city has un-
dergone a change since he was a large
owner of that kind of property and
since he became candidate for United
States senator. Even since he has been
Mayor of Cleveland he has been doing
things calculated to make him known
throughout the state of Ohio, and, in
fact, throughout the country.
One of the things which he has just
had done relates to the Cleveland City
Railroad of which Senator Hanna is
president Up to this year the property
of the railroad had been assessed at
$500, 900. Mayor Johnson has had it as
sessed at $500, 900. Such an enormous
increase has attracted very general at
tention, and suggested that the Mayor
has a grievance of some sort against
Senator Hanna.
1t is pretty safe to say that he did
not have the assessment raised because
u any uOSlllity W OClldLOA 4loblliApp DNI
because he believes that the road is
capable of earning a good income on
that capitalization. But it will be said
among Republicans that there was a
feeling of hostility to Senator Hanna at
the bottom of the action taken against
the railroad.
1t will be asked-in fact, it is in all
probability being asked now-whether
Mr.. Johnson, when he was a big owner
in street railroads went out of his way
to have the assessment of the roads
in which he was interested increased.
If he did not, it will be argued that
he is not sincere in the action he had
taken against the Cleveland street rail-
road.
OF course, Senator Hanna will not
permit his road to pay the tax on such
a valuation as has been placed upon it
without big legal fight. The men
who made the valuation were Mayor
Johnson's friends. If the judges who
Will have now to pass upon the mat
ter are friendly to Senator Hanna,
Mayor johnson may yet be beaten, but
the chances are that the Cleveland City
Railroad will never again be assessed
as low as 100000. The tendency of
the times is to assess that kind of
property at somewhere near its value,
as shown by it's earning power.

His Superstitions.

On closed Independence avenue car
the other day an old gentleman, about
70 years of age, attracted the attention
of passengers by attempts to pick up
something from the floor. A young man
offered his assistance, and Sfter consid-
cradle trouble. and the cutting of his
finger, lifted the wooden grating The old
man stopped, and, picking up pin said:
"Al right young man, you can let the
grating down now. 1 got the pin. Sorry
to have put you to so much trouble, but
it's a good thing to remember, See a pin
and pick it up, and all day you will have
good luck"
The young passenger, seeing that some
were laughing, turned red in the face, said
something about the old man being a
fool, and left the car. A passenger sit
ting opposite the old man said:
You seem to be very superstitious for
a man of your age"
We'll, 1 am little inclined that way"
he said. II always pick up pins and never
put keys on a table"
why, what harm is that?"
"Harml That is a sure sign of a quar-
rel l have been married over fifty
years, and never had a quarrel until
three weeks ago, when my wife walked
into the dining room and put a bunch of
keys on the table. l knew right away
there was going to be trouble, and told
her So Well. she turned on me and call
ed me an old fool. That started a quar-
rel at once. and we did not speak for a
whole day. Now. If that is not a sure
sign. what is? So. take my advice. my
friend. and tell your wife about keys as
soon as you go home.'
At Walnut street the old gentleman
started TO leave the car. and on reaching
the door he turned to the passenger and
said:
BE sure and remember about pins and
keys"

A writer in the New Voice argues
that bathing is only compromise of
civilization. According to his view,
in a real state of nature man would
require no bathing. His skin would
be exposed constantly to the sun and
wind and rain. and would be brushed
by the dewy branches and grasses"
and thus kept clean. He thinks we
need constantly 10 work back towards
the superb skin circulation of the saw
ages" in order to do which. of course,
we should have to discard our clothes.
The skin, he says, when exposed to all
of the vioissitudes of the weather, de-
velops vastly more extensive circu-
lation that is seen in the clothed men
of civilization. From all of which,"
says the Philadelphia Medical Jour-
nal. 'it appears that only wild men do
not need to battle, and that the bath
tub is decried and avoided only by saw
ages and theorists"

ILLITERATE NEGROES AND THE

would be a good thing to take the bal

in New York last Tuesday. on his way
to Europe as a delegate to some con-
ference of his church, and was inter-
viewed by the newspapers of that city.
In the course of his remarks he said:
az the negro is DISTINGUISHED he will
be spurred on all the more to build
himself up financially and intellectual
ly. The danger in that for the whites
of the South win be that the negro viii
have so great an incentive to improve

Every man seems to be born with a
desire to know the age of the girl with
whom he comes in contact, and women
also appear to have an innate curiosity
concerning the number of summers
which have passed over the heads of their
female friends, says an exchange. But
there is nothing more difficult to dis
cover than the exact age of a girl who
wishes to keep the fact secret.
Now, here is a little scheme by which
you can find out the age of any person.
having engaged that person in pleas
ant conversation, you proceed something
after the following manner--speaking in
nocently, of course:
There is a very simple problem in
arithmetic which very few people are able
to see through, yet it is as easy as pos
sible. 1 wonder If you can do it?'
This sets the person on her dignity,
and she wants to do it at once
Then you go on.

the numerical order of the month in
which you were born. Oh, no, you need
