In the course OF his speech on the SUBJ
siey bal. senator Cafery remarked that
his objections 10 the measure would not
bc remoyed by any amendments. says the
Washington Post He thought the only
thing to do with the bin was to kill it.
1T reminds me OF the old story of the
man whose dog had the mango" said
Mr.. Caffery. HE was told of all sorts OF
cures. ibut nc would not try any of them.
The best remedy, said the man, is to
cut off the dogs head behind his ears -
1t was an cid story, sure enough. but

create laugh, end so he waited a mo-

Il suppose you mean" said Senator
Jones Of Arkansas, ''cut off his tail be-
bird his ears?''
Oh. yes" Immediately answered Mr..
Canrey, Il meant cut off his tail behind
his ears"
And then everybody laughed so heart
lily that Mr. Gallery was surprised.
Some of these senators and representa-

Senator Depew was riding homeward
III an F. street car, says the Post. Al
the Baltimore and Ohio depot two ladies
boarded the car. One was evidently
str2nger-she had a new dress-suit case
ana the other was a resident. At least
she posed as a resident, and an oldet
lnhaoitant at that, for in a very loud tone
of voice she named the various pubic
buildings. She was not quite sure wheth-
er or not the City Hall was the White
House, or whether the Pension building
was the Treasury Department. but when
the car reached Lafayette Square she was
apparently quite at home. She knew the
Arlington Hotel by sight, and recognized
the White House across the park. A
moment later the car was opposite Sena-
tor DepeWs home, and it stopped for the
Senator to alight.
That large building" said the voluble
lady to her companion, pointing 10 De-
peWs house, is the government fish
hatchery"
Senator Depew caught the words as he
passed out upon the platform of the car,
and for a minute stood on the corner
laughing. Then his face became serious.
He started as if to run after the car, bur
it was now almost out of sight. by
George" he said, II have just though
Of something | ought to have told that
lady. Ha! ha! hal"
But what the ciever retort should have
been no one will ever know for stil
laughing softly to himself. Senator De-
pew disappeared under the portals Of his
home.

In Kansas they are talking OF trying 10

ton law is a failure-worse than a fail
ure-and a bill has been introduced into
the Legislature to replace it with a dis
pensary law. modelled on that of South
Carolina. Now the South Carolina dis
pensary has never been anything so much
as a source Of scandal and bloodshed, and
SO far ia ID from being G temperance in

now dropped all claims Of that sort in
its behalf. 1t is adhered TO only be-

put her cold feet against my back. They

Then she kicked me out OF bed, and
up and licked her" The licking got the
man into court, where he told the judge
that he thought the kicking and the cold
feet ought to entitle him to a divorce.
The judge didn't think so, however, and
sent him TO Jail.

MARRIAGE LICENSES
 NOT ISSUED FRIDAY
Not Because Clerks Object, But Be- cause There Are No Applica-
 tions on This Day.

"No marriage licenses today said Chief Clerk Tarrant in the office of the probate judge yesterday as reporters scanned the blank pages of the records. People don't marry in this country, as a rule on Friday and they are equally as wary about having licenses issued on that day"
 Turning back the pages for several months his statement was found to be &C., curate. On Friday the pages were blank.
 'The number of persons who still hold superstitious ideas about Friday is re- markable." continued MT. Tarrant, "but no matter from what walk of life they come they prefer to marry on some other day of the week. All of them will tell you that they really don't believe in it but they had just rather not take any chances. The fear of the thirteenth day of the month is not so great as of Friday, though in olden days it was equally as bad"
 An inspection of the marriage records showed that more licenses are issued on Tuesday and Wednesday than any other days of the week. A bystander sug- gested that this could be accounted for in the fact that marriages on those days had now become stylish and popular. He said the old custom of marrying on Sun day had become too common and the peo- pie had dropped 1t altogether. Saturday was also a bad day and as Friday Is impossible the earlier days of the week are selected by those matrimonially in clined.
 With negroes the questions of days and dates is not a serious one and in their own chase for matrimonial bliss they buy their licenses and get married on the first day convenient.
 An average of four marriage licenses

politics in Alabama a new situation will face the old party and the counties which sonce formed bed rock of Democracy will have partially lost their power. If the negroes are successfully disfran- chised in the black belt the party can no longer rely on that famous tier of coun- ties to turn or increase the tide of victory to marked degree. In party politics the power will undoubtedly be switched to the northern counties where the whites are more populous.
 If perchance the white counties should follow the new constitution to the letter and throw out all the negroes and on the other hand the black belt should find themselves wanting in power and should enfranchise number of negroes under the property clause a complex situation would be upon the party. The two sec tions of the state would undoubtedly draw swords and without peace and harmony the new constitution would be failure.
 There are 501 delegates in the new Dem- cratic convention and under the new plan the black belt will be represented by 13O votes and 1t is possible that a people who have for years directed the policy of the party to a great extent will become dis satisfied. However, that section of the State was among the first to advocate new constitution and leading Democrats sav they will be satisfied with the re- suit.
 The first symptom of dissatisfaction with the new constitution arose over the fear that some white man would be dis franchised but the Democratic party has

There was much difficulty in ob- taining reparation, because the offenders belong to the Albanian clan which sup plies the Sutan's body guard, and his majesty feared their vengeance.

 When the white men who were told that their rights would be taken from them see that this doctrine Is untrue 1t Is believed they will renounce their ad- visers and readily accept the new con- ditions created by the Democratic party.

 If this party pledge is kept and fraudu- lent elections in Alabama cease to exist. nothing can defeat the Democratic party in Alabama.
