Seasons in Groceries.

"Although it is between seasons in our trade, we find the general business situ- ation extremely satisfactory" said Ro' ert F. Gould of St. Louis, a traveller for fancy groceries.
 Why, do you have seasons in the fancy grocery business?" was asked.
 Certainly In the spring we sell goods in glass, specialties of the lighter va rieties. In winter we sell largely in bulk such as pickles and heavier grades in the vegetable line, when light specialties are not in such great demand. In other words, we have seasons in the fancy grocery trade quite as marked as seasons in drygoods.
 'I travel five states, and everywhere I have been merchants are gratifed with present trade and bouyantly hopeful for the future. My experience covers many years, and I never saw trade con- ditions better than they are now. or more hopeful of great activity and prosperity to come. There are no longer any grum- blers; everybody has got money to spend and merchants everywhere are making money, doing the best business they ever have done."

How Ward and WIIdman Died.

"The sinking of the Rio de Janeiro was
 horrible affair."" said a man who tray
 eled on the vessel from China and Japan
 a few years ago.
 "The old ship was nothing more nor
 less than a shell, evidently without com- | partments. Otherwise it could not have | gone down so quickly in a calm sea and within few hundred yards of the shore | The true story of how Captain Ward | went down with his ship is apparently | not yet known. It is certain, however, that he made no effort to save himself,
 but did everything in his power to save
 the lives of his passengers and crew.
 Captain Billie Ward, as he was fa-
 miliarly known, was just 40 years of age. He was born and reared in Raleigh, N. C., and is a relative of Col. A. B. An
 drews, vice president of the Southern
 Railway. For ten years past he has
 been in the service of the Pacific Mail
 Steamship Line, the owners of the Rio de
 Janeiro. Until the government leased it for a transport, he was the captain of the
 Pekin, one of the largest ships plying
 between San Francisco and the Orient. T travelled with Captain Ward from
 Japan via Honolulu to San Francisco in
 1895. He was then the captain of the Pe- kin. There were only about twenty first cabin passengers aboard, and l spent much of my time with the captain in
 his cabin and on the bridge. He spent
 much of his time endeavoring to teach
 me navigation and talked often about the construction of ships. He once told me
 that many of the ships plying the Pa
 citic were so badly constructed and so
 old that there were scores of accidents that might occur, either of which would
 send any one of them to the bottom. "'It may be the next trip or it may be years hence, but some of these days, if I pursue this life, I am sure to go the
 bottom, he said to me. And so it came | to pass.
 Ward was young, ambitious, and of jovial temperament. His ambition was
 to become a captain of fast Atlantic liner. The Pacific ships, as rule, are | slow.
 If the stories as published from San l Francisco be true and l doubt not that | they are, Wards name should live as one of the great heroes of the sea-
 Poor Wildman, our consul-general to Hong Kong, he too went down on the
 very shore of his home land after years of noble service to his country in the Far East During the Spanish-American war
 and for a year or two afterwards he was the most conspicuous of all American offi ;nL% ,f i,
 world was focused upon him and it beat
 pitilessly but Wildman loomed great
 through it all. Coming home for a we'll
 earned vacation, he is drowned almost
 at the landing stage in his home port!'

After the Groundhogs

Tho almost unprecedented snowstorm Tn this valley which ended with the break of yesterday was another and the strongest proof that the groundhog knew what he was about when he fled from the shadow he cast when he came out three weeks before; that his hogship foretold bad weather even as Raphael and Pat Linnehan had foretold it pre- viously.
 Yet there Is a wise legislator-aren't all legislators more or less wise?-out in Mis- souri who seeks by statute to interfere with the inalienable rights of the ground hog rights which antedate by centuries the discovery of the land of Web Da- wis and compromise, and which have been upheld by Anglo-Saxon might un- weakened. This Missouri man must have been one of those who voted against Hon. Frank James, former train robber for a doorkeepership in the legislature of his proud State. His name is Tandy-Sena- tor Handy, who with pen is mighty handy, and if you do not believe it true, here is the bright sign unto you.
 Senator Tandy submitted the follow ing
 "Whereas, From the remotest periods whereof man holds memory, it has been an undecided question whether it Is the 2d or the 14th of the month of February on which the sought-after and never found groundhog should settle the ques- tion of an early spring; and,
 Whereas, Even his hogship, of recent years, is in doubt concerning the day of his appearance; and,
 "Whereas This aforesaid doubt greatly unsettles matters, in imperial Missouri particularly; therefore, be it
 Resolved, by the Senate of the State of Missouri, That the 14th day of February be and is hereby declared to be the only grounding day in Missouri; and be 1t further
 Resolved That the Secretary of the Senate is hereby instructed to notify him that his appearance on any other day will be held by the Senate to be an affront to it's constitutional rights and traditional dignity"

gently the Senator illustrated a point by story on his great klnsman, Cover nor Winston of Alabama.
 According to the Washington Post, which has next to the best hotel lobby gossip in America (nodesty forbidding mention of the first) Senator Pettus took occasion the other day to run a knife into the fifth rib of Senator McLaurin of South Carolina, who recently deliv cred speech endorsing the subsidy bill. Senator Pettus thought a Presbyterian preacher who advocated immersion might at least be suspected of Baptist bias and he questioned the Democracy of any one who was so Republican as to sup port the subsidy scheme. Apropos, Sem ator Pettus told the story of the joint debate in Alabama between Winston, Democratic candidate for Governor, and Shortridge, his Know Nothing opponent. Winston spoke first, and among other things declared that he had never seen 8 live Know Nothing.
 Governor" said Shortridge. you say you never saw a live Know Nothing. Look here.' he added, placing his hand on his breast" and see one in me-
 "Yes," replied Winston in a sharp ringing voice, "a live Know Nothing and dead Democrat"
 The point of the story caused much laughter on the Democratic side of the Senate chamber.
 The Senator's speech was unique. He quoted David Harum'' and the consti- tuition in the same breath; he sand wiched stories between elaborate argu- ments against the subsidy bill; he recited several verses of poetry in the midst of his learned discourse.
 Senator Pettus," says the Post, lis the most picturesque character in the Senate. He looks like Ii Hung Chang and is so ancient in his appearance that he is commonly supposed to have played marbles with Confucius. He seems the embodiment of human wisdom, is as solem as an owl, and talks like Sir Or acle. Withal, he has a sense of humor, but when he gambols wittily it Is like an elephant trying to dance a jig"

Put Me Off at Wahouma.

AS none but she can say it, She said "Wahouma." No eyes like hers To look in for love My own would fain consume her. No lips like hers Sweet wells of love ca, precious treasure trove Of love the crown; To draw from them is to soar above And bring angels down. No hrows like hers So peneiled fine, arched, dark Such exquisite line. And her nose
 Was gently retrouse inclined. All told-the trim soul. body, mind Dear love she is divine. Now, to what sweet fate shall l doom
 her?
 She said: Put me off at Wahouma-" And her voice Was modulated, limpid-entrancing
 sound;
 Like linked sweetness-yet round; Like the chimes of the angels coming
 down;
 And 1 prayed Allah God to the sweetst fate do doom
 her
 Tut me on at Wahouma. Feb. 21, 1901.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.

Music, the universal language of
mankind" says Longfellow, and in his
words there lis much Of the truth.
Music of all kinds has more or less
sweetness. to it., Whether it be the
work Of "a master like Beethoven or
Gounod, or the lighter efforts of the
writer's Of the popular ditties Of today.
there is something entrancing about it
all. There is another music which is
not in the fats and sharps of concerted
effort, it is the music Of the laugh, and
certainly no music is sweeter or more
interesting and the producer of music
OF this sort is entitled to the fondest
eonsid deration Of all mankind. Per
haps it is because he has inspired more
music Of this sort than the average

The Terrapin Disease.


+ The terrapin 3is thought to have much
influence in causing sickness, and the
terrapin disease ds 'either a rheumatic
aff1iction about the chest and ribs or
possibly some pulmonary trouble. The
association OF the terrapin with diseases
in this portion Of the body doubtless
originates from the fact that the ribs
of the terrapin are not free, as in the
case of most Of the higher animals, but
are united into one piece. -
An Indian who was Ill applied for re-.
lief to shaman and was asked, did
you not when boy stie strings to the
terrapin's tail and worry the creature?"
The patient admitted that he did.
"Well," said the medicine man, "that
is what is the matter. It is the terra
pins turn now, and the terrapin is pay
ing off old scores. You have the terra
pin sickness, and all your ribs have
grown together and to your breast
bone.'g,s III! >
The shaman administered the proper
remedy prescribed in such cases-I for
get what IT Was--and the man thought
he was cured *'2%%Ss - =.

cioua "Grafter."
A man walked into one Of the up
town college clubs one morning and sat
down in the smoking room. His air Of
assurance was hardly in accord with
his tattered clothes. 1t was early, and
none Of the members was about. He
rang the bell, and the steward re-
sponded.
lit seems good to get back into the
club again." he remarked.
"Yes, SIR" said the steward.
II used to be member here, but I've
had hard luck and can't afford it any
longer
Eyes, sir; I'm sorry, SIR said the
steward
"By the way, I'm little short Of car
fare this morning." said the nervy
stranger. "Could you let me have ten
cents until cadl here again?'
The surprised steward reached into
his pocket and handed out dime.
'"Thank you," said the man. "Now,
I'm also little hungry, having had no
dhLuoI. Nv SoI SuppoSC yOu NOuAA
gather me up little luncheon?"
The steward was stupehed by such a
display Of nerve.
"And little whisky with a dash Of
bitters would not 60 badly with the
food"
The steward fed as one Of the mems
bers entered. The stranger saw the
new arrival and rose hastily.
II am too early for my friend" he
said as he walked toward the door
II will return later" Then he added
in an undertone, which the doorboy
heard: '"Too bad, too bad! That stew
ard was easy. He'd given me the club
If I'd asked for it. It's a wonder those
members wouldn't stay away" The
man of nerve walked down the street
with his head bowed in deep thought
'How to get that luncheon without
paying for it" was his theme.-New
