THE PUBLIC
Something for sharks I'm All Lines
OF Business to Prey
Upon

"You must remember" said the man
who was arguing with great volubility and
se~lf-approvaI, that we owe a duty to the
public"
who is the public?" inquired Mr.. Bly,
"Why-er-the masses, you know; the
general populace."
NO" said Mr.. Blykins, with emphasis,
syou got the wrong idea. The public is
something to be roped in; to be gouged; to
be walked over. To the sugar trust the pub
lie is a great congregation of confectionery
consumers. To the beef trust the public is
a vast menagerie of c~arnivorous bipeds. To
the politician it is a collection of persons
who have influence at elections; to the the
atrical manager, a crowd of people in front
of the box office eager to get rid OF money;
to the street car conductor, a lot OF creatures
who ought to be made to step lively"
You think the public gets imposed upon
all around?'
eyes. 1t doesn't deserve any better, and
retribution is always waiting. The man
who imposes on the public in one respect
lapses back into the general outfit in some
thing else and is imposed on in his turn.
It's a heartless business all the way
through. One great and elaborate scheme
of imposition. What people ought to do is
to hold primaries in all parts of the civilized
world and send delegates to The Hague to
see if they can't discuss something like a
disarmament scheme by which the people
of this earth can be persuaded to quit i'm
posing on one another.-Washington Star.

named after statesmen, soldiers and
presidents, concluding with Washing
ton; the latter street taking the place
of what is called ''W'' street in the orig
inal city. Thus we would have streets
called Adams, Buchanan, Cleveland,
and so on down the list of the great
men of the nation. in alphabetical or
der. The streets running north and
south to be named First street ex-
tended," and so on down the list of
numbered streets to Thirty-sixth
street, which is the highest of the
numbered streets in the northwest
section of the city, and is in old George
town, where the novelist, Mrs. South
worth, lived, did all of her work, and
died; where the Catholic university
stands, overlooking the Potomac from
its rugged heights.
When you read in the newspapers or
hear Washingtonians talk of "EXecu-
tive avenue" you may understand that
there is no such avenue in existence.
Sixteenth street, our broadest and
most beautiful numbered street, ex-
tends from Boundary south to La
fayette park, opposite the white
house; and, if further extended. it
would pass right through the center of
the executive mansion. From the
front portico of the white house one
can look directly northward to the end
of this street, and, because of its loca-
ton, in proximity to the executive
mansion, it is locally termed "Execu-
tive avenue" although it is not Off
cially known by that name. This street
will be extended with its present
width and direction to the district
line, a distance of more than six miles
from the white house, one mile being
along the eastern boundary of Rock
Creek park, where a beautiful view
can be had of the valley. Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets are to remain
as now laid out, with the exception of
some widening, and will be extended
north to the district line. Thirteenth
street from Kenesaw avenue north has
an excellent natural grade and will be-
come a fine drive into the city If kept
free from tracks, which is likely, as it
runs very near to Brightwood avenue;
this being a large thoroughfare north
of the city where Fort Stevens was To-
Gated. This is an historic place, for, on
July IL, 1864, the confederate, Gen.
Early, attacked the position and came
thus within six miles of the official
residence of President Lincoln. Early
would have captured the capital on
that occasion but for the opportune
arrival of the Sixth corps of veterans
from the army of the Potomac. But
that is another story.
All of this area which is being taken
into the original city is on historic
ground, and must be gossiped about in
detail at different times.

You must know that our streets are

GUNsAULUs' ANCIENT HORSE.
An Equine Purchase of h Chicago
Divine I'm His Youth Which Dis
gusted His Father

OEee upon a time Rev. Frank G~unsaulus,
the popular preacher, was q poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board
ed round at the houses of the deacons, and
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend a few days. His father, so
the story goes, was a rough old chap of the
uncut diamond sort, with a vocabulary
more expressive than elegant.
Well, at one time young Gunsaulus found
himself IN possession of enough money to
buy a horse. He thought it would be better
to ride his own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. It was a
sorry-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
it he rode it home. His father was in the
barnyard when ne came IN and he looked
critically at the animal.
Where did ye git that boss, Frank?" he
asked.

young preacher.

MATTER OF DOUBT.
The Train BOY Knew People Pretty
Well, But He Had a Guess
Coming.

Zone day last fall,' said a w~ell-known
Montana man, Il was riding on a train in
my state and got to be on pretty fair terms
with the train boy by buying a few Of the
things he had to sell. 1t was not a very
formal kind of a train, and when the boy
had finished his rounds he came over to
sit with me and chin a Bit, has he said. I
was willing enough, as he was a sharp lad
and there was nobody else to talk to, and
he went right at things.
do you know he said, that / can tell
by looking at a man mighty near what he
is. Now, there's that fellow over there in
the corner; he's a Chicago drummer. I
can tell him by the way he lets his money
go and the flip style he has when he talks
to people. And that chap over there with
the silk hat on, he's a preacher from o
country town, I'm dead sure, and III 90
ask him if you say so.'
II didn't say so, because I didn't care a
continental, and the boy went on with his
descriptions of the people on the train. At

THE DELICATE FLAVOR.
Unique Method of q French Chef who
Made q Most Palafable
Salad.

At one of his famous little dinners a prom
inent professional man of Washington was
greatly pleased with the salad, as were also
his guests. Evidently it was partly meat
and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new,
distinct and understandable. This was so
faint that one guest declared: Its not q
taste at all; only a smell"
At length some one suggested, says What
TO Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe,
upon which the host remarked:
MY man greatly dislikes being asked for
recipes. On this occasion, however, his van-
ity may overcome him if we tell how greatly
we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad
in particular. At any rate, we'll see"
The Frenchman soon appeared, and was
visibly affected, not to say elated, by the
compliments.

How Peruna Quickly Cures

CHAMOIS AS COASTERS.
i'm the Alps Enjoy a Swift
Slide Down the Steer Noun
tain Side.

Nearly all animals are foud of play.
and sometimes their play is almost a
systematic game. If you should come
across a lot of goats playing football,
with chosen sides, captains and all that
sort of thing, you would be s~peechless
with amazement, and yet a tourist saw
something on the Alps that is scarce
~ less astonishing, says the New York
Herald.
1t was in summer, and a flock of
chamois had climbed up to where the
snow never melts, evidently to play on
it. Their movements were so peculiar
that he watched them carefully. They
had found a steep, now covered in
cline, to the upper end of which they
went in a body. just like a party of
boys intent on coasting.
And that is precisely what the cham
OILS intended, for two or three of them
at a time would crouch down at the
beginning of the descent, work all four
legs to get a start, and slide oyer the
surface of the snow TIC the bottom.
When they reached the bottom they
would rise. shake themselves and
climb up the incline again. only to
repeat their trip down. This they did
time and again. their comrades at the
upper end watching them with great
interest until it came their turn TO
coast.
The coasting ground was about $50
yards from top to bottom, and the
chamois would shoot down it with the
speed of sleds, the snow rising about
them in a powdery cloud.
There could be no doubt whatever
that they did it for sport. and they
seemed to enjoy it as much as boys
coasting down a well-packed hill.

against her. She weighed about 100
pounds when she was in good health.
When h commenced with our family
physician in April, 1898, she weighed
about 1870, but kept going down all the
time. She went to Atlanta, Ca, and
took treatment, but it did her no good.
Then she went to Harmony Grove. Ga,
and took treatment from the best
physician there for three months.
She kept going down under his treat
ment, although he was considered the
best physician in the county. She
went down from 100 pounds to IS, and
we saw she could not live long. She
was a skeleton. We consulted an old
physician who told her to use Peruna.
She gradually improved and got
stronger. She has gained 3S pounds
since she has taken Peruna, and is
gaining. every day, and does her own
homework.
"She was well known when she was
so low, and now everybody wants to
know what cured her. She had in
digestion and catarrh of the stomach.
1t is as good for children as for grown
people. We haven't had to have a doc
tor for one of our children since $685."
