1.-THE BRAZILS."

''Some days ago. writes Brooklyn ite, q read little story of an English man who thought that the Yellowstone Park was one of the sights of New York city. That reminds me of the time I crossed the ocean in company with very dignified Briton who was a member of the London school board. One day, while we were walking to- gether on the promenade deck, he asked me how he could use his time to the best advantage while in this country in the matter of sight seeing. 1 told him he should see New York, oston, Chi cago, Philadelphia, Niagara, take a trip down the Mississippi, sail over the great lakes, see the Rockies, and the Pacific coast, and," I added ''be sure you don't miss the Yellowstone Park" :"
 ''I've heard good deal about the Yellowstone Park he replied, what part of the states is it in?''
 'It's about twenty-five hundred miles west of New York"
 ''Yes, but what part. the Brazils?"
 ''And," adds the correspondent, ''this from a member of the London school boardr'-B Brooklyn Eagle.

It is said that ring has been form ed to control homesteads i'll the Okla homa Indian reservations by paying honorably discharged sailors and sol diers, who are allowed to make entry through agents, and whose term of ser vice counts in the time required to re side on homestead to acquire title, for the use of their names in making applications, and that while the busi- ness is crooked it is inside the law, which, of course, requires applicant to declare intention to settle on the land applied for, but which cannot pre- vent his afterward announcing a change of mind. Of course, this may be islander on the numerous soldiers and sailors whose names are being tele- graphed to Oklahoma agents, but it is causing talk.

HOW HE BETRAYED HIMELF.


 The arrival stepped up to the hotel counter, swung the register around and signed his name, John Smith, AIichi- gan"
 ''Ah, NTr smith, said the clerk, with that hospitable manner of the true hotel clerk, whats the best word in Kalamazoo?'
 MT Smith turned as pale as if he had been caught ill the very act.
 ''How did you know was from Kal- amaZooY' he inquired, in surprise, for he had never been in that hotel be- fore.
 ''Oh," laughed the clerk, eve been in the hotel business a long time and l never saw one of them put down the name of his town yet. The only oth- CTS I know of like that are from Osh- kosl."
 Mir Smith didn't know just what to say i'll reply, so he said it, and went on upstairs to his room, thinking. New York Sun.

 The country dance in South Carolina is dangerous institution. At one ill Orangeburg county seven persons, in- cluding two women, were shot. E Of course, the will of the late Jacob s. Rogers, the eccentric locomotive man, will be contested. It disposes of more than $S,0O0,000. Think of what pickings that will furnish for the heirs.
 When Scott A. McISeown married Dorothy Stakeholder of South Bend, Ind, he gave her $60,000 necklace, and pearls and diamonds valued at $100,000. He also threw gold coins to the San Francisco street boys. That was a year ago last May. Now she is in the courts for a divorce. She says that he has been cruel. and that he has not provided for her.-Hart- ford Courant.

From summaries which will appear in the thirteenth statistical report or the interstate commerce commission, prepared by its statistician, being the complete report for the above named period, for which a preliminary ;n- come account was issued in December, 1900. the figures in the following ad- vance statement are obtained: The number of passengers carried during the year ending June 30, 1900, as shown by the annual reports of rail- ways. was 576, ,S65, ,230, showing an in- crease for the year of 53,6SS,722. The number of passengers carried one mile that is, passenger mileage-was 16,- O39, ,O07, PIT, there being an increase in this item of LAY, ,679,604. There was an increase in the density of passen- ger traffic, as the number of passengers carried one mile per mile of line In 1900 was 3,295, and in 1899 77,S21. The number of tons of freight carried during the year was 1,101 ,6S0,23S, an increase of HI ,916, ,655 being shown. The number of tons of freight carried one mile-that is, ton mileage-was Al, ,599, ,157, ,2T0. The increase in the number of tons carried one mile was 7.931, 900, IT.

WISE WHITE HOUSE EMPLoYE
Does Quite a Profitable Business in sDisposing of Kittens of the
 OhiciaI Cat.

Evidences of prosperity exhibited by one of the colored employees of the white house, best known as George, have made him the envy of his asso- ciates. He recently appeared in a new suit of 'sstore clothes.'
 When they saw him bring little kitten into the white house the other day, says core sRondent of the Tole- do Blade, and subsequently, hand the little pet over to fashionably attired lady who was riding in a trap the se- cret came out.
 Not long since the official white house eat gave birth to 12 kittens-an even dozen and no more. The old cat and her family were in Georges keep ing. When the event became known in official and social circles there was a great demand for kittens born be- meath the roof of the executive man sion.
 keeper, society girls sought him out and each wanted the prettiest one in the lot. Each was promised the ''pret- tiest" one. When dozen customers had been supplied the demand was as great as ever.
 As soma If the kittens had brought as high as ave dollars each, George could not think of retiring from the cat business. He went among his friends in South Washington and dis covered other kittens. They were just as pretty as the white house ones and passed readily for the genuine article. When a customer was to be supplied George would take onekof the South Washington born kittens to the white house and from there deliver it to the fair one. 1t may never be known how many kittens are being tenderly cared for about the city and pointed to as having been born in the white house. Nor will it ever be known just how much revenue the cat industry forced upon the colored employe yielded him.

Ever since the Ohio convention and for several days before it the Hartford Times has unceasingly bombarded William J. Bryan, while the latter gen. tleman has been pursuing the even tenor of his way. The Times has gloated and is still gloating to think that no mention of the man from Lin coin was made at the Ohio conven- tion. It begins to look now as though that convention had been carefully selected by the opponents of Bryan, for in our news columns to-day will be found an article which says Bry- ans friends are to get together and do something. The dispatch further adds that''the attendance at the confer ence was larger and represented a greater area in the state than was ex- pected by those who called the meet ing"

Frederick Degetau, resident con- missioner from Porto Rico to the Unit ed States is out with long statement contending that the Porto Ricans are American citizens and entitled to all privileges of citizens of any territory. He thus speaks of the sentiment of the islanders: Both of the political par ties of the island, the republican and the federal, divided by local issues alone, are in favor of organizing the island as territory of the United States similar to New Mexico and Arizona, as way to become a state of the union, with a full legislature elect ed by the people and represented by delegate in congress, the appointment of a governor being, of course, resery- ed for the president as in the case of the territories. How else can the needs and requirements of the people be made known except they are repre- sented in the American congress, which Iegislates for them as for other parts of the United States? The Porto Rican citizens are prepared by their love of liberty and their worship of justice and peace to face with other American citizens the great problems with which We must deal in the future per haps in the near future. Not by mere caprice of the heathen god Mars, but in the accomplishments of eternal laws, of proyidential decrees. has the island become an integral part of the Ameri- can union"

veritable Lions in a Salon.

At the Comtesse de Greffelhu's re- ception at Paris, when the music and singing had ended, two young lions entered the saloon dragging car decked with lilies and roses. It is q remarkable fact that they frightened nobody, but called forth the guests unanimous applause. They were brought recently to France by Prince d'Arenburg, who was participating in the Paris Berlin race and did not witness their triumph.

Tired with the long, hot day a-wheels l gladly sniff the evening meal, And leave an endless, dusty road, To make the inn my nights abode. The shadows deepen.
