SHABBY EARL OF NORFOLK.
One of England's Most Noted Peers Ere
quentiy Mistaken for
Pleblan.

AS is well known, the duke of Nor
folk, the premier peer of England,
whose title dates back to the earliest
times and whose wealth is boundless,
is very careless of his personal APP
pearance. No one meeting him would
take him for other than Il very or
binary mana tradesman or mechan-
ic, perhaps, says London paper. He,
by virtue of the security of his title.
is the marshal of England and at all
royal functions of a public character
acts as marshal of the day. A{well-
known woman of quality had house
near Arundel, and when she and her
family were removing to London the
duke contemplated buying the place
as house for member of his family.
One morning Mrs. - was in her bed
room shortly after breakfast, when a
servant came~up to tell her that a
messenger, had called from the castle.
"Where is hep" she asked. "Oh! he's
in the hall, ma'am." Knowing the
dukes habits of activity in the coun-
try she felt some misgivings and hur-
ried downstairs to find the earl-mar-
shall of England sitting quite patiently
on hall chair with his hat in his
hands. She overwhelmed him with
apologies, of course, but the duke was
most amused and laughingly said that
he delighted in an appearance which
protected him from attentions which
would make his life burdensome.

During recent regatta on the Har-

university coach, was out in a single
shell wearing rowing costume the
most striking feature of which was an
old straw hat. He was quietly rowing
alongside one Of the rivers amateur

one of them remarked: "Look at that

the amateur); he'll take few crimps
in his fat wrinkles in minute" "Oh.
will he, indeed?" remarked an old oar.
"Just wait and see where Jimmy
comes in" Jimmy in this case failed to
come in ut all, for the fat man rowed
away from him at will. That's Ham

party of skillful japanese gardeners.
calling themselves the Japanese Hor-
ticultural society, have laid out a
Japanese garden as n permanent ex-
hibit of their native fora. The gar
den is situated at the base of the
Orange mountain, in little clump
of woodland. It's four acres are sur
rounded by bamboo fence, inge-
niously built without nails, yet strong
as any American fence.
Inside that barrier the visitor finds
all the curiosities he would see in q

done by noted Japanese sculptor.
and statue of Jizo, buddhist saint,
regarded as IA goddess, are some Of
the treasures which Japan has
parted with in order that America
may enjoy few of the privileges
which she herself prizes so highly.
There is an artificial lake in the
garden, spanned by three different
kinds of Japanese structures. by
the side of this lake, closely Gagged,
lives u tsuru, or crane. The bird
is about five feet in height. 1t is
said to be an exceedingly rare bird.
few specimens being found outside
the royal palace and Imperial Ioolo-
gical gardens.
According to the Japanese, nature
does not give to the tsuru red
crown until he has reached the age Of
one hundred years, and as the years
advance the color deepens. The red
headed tsuru is therefore an emblem
of longevity in Japan. This New
Jersey specimen has very dark red
topknot, and is supposed to be about
three hundred years old.
In that respect the tsuru is more
than matched by one of the plants
in the garden. This is chabo-hiba,
one of the oldest on this continent.
It's age is given as seven hundred
years. No wonder it is valued at ten
thousand dollars.
The original trainer Of the tree is
not definitely known, but Is sup
posed to have been one Genho, who
was the most famous artist during
the later period of the Kamakura
regency i'm the twelfth century.
The tree came into the hands OF

Want None of Bryan.

A few days ago a member of the
Virginia constitutional convention in
PRODUCED resolution reading:
whereas, it is reported that Hon.
William Jennings Bryan will shortly
visit Virginia, the president of the
convention do invite Mr.. Bryan to at
tend and address the convention at
such time as he may Designate" The
convention refused to consider the
resolution. The members, with the
exception of about 1s, are democrats,
but the majority of them evidently
are not enthusiastic over Mr.. Bryan.
Had the convention met at any time
between the summer of 1896 and the
fall of 1900 it is more than likely that
Nr. Bryan would have been invited
to address it, had he been in the
state, although the Virginia demo-
Gratis never took so kindly to him as
the democrats of some other states.
Mr.. Bryan has had his day. Perhaps
he is philosophical enough to accept
the situation uncomplainingly. = Chi

FORE DADoY'D. GO TO BED.
MICHIGAN.


Each night for fifty years or more,
Fore daddy'd go to bed,
He'd come round tryin' every door
From front hall to the shed,
And then he'd blow the candle out
And set 1t on the bin,
And. by and by, you'd hear him shout:
rs everybody IMP"
And IL II happened one of us
Young fellers still was out.
He'd walk aroun' and fret and fuss
And say he had no doubt
That somethin' had belallen US
Or we'd fell into sin,
But when he'd hear our trampin' feet
He'd say: THANK God you're in!''
And now reckon he's up thar.
Awaitin day by day,
To bid us welcome from afar
II we should go that way;
But one things certain. he won't rest
Until his kith and kin
Have passed the portals of the blest
And all are gathered In.

uyIn view of the statement of Chair
man Jones, of the democratic national
committee, that Bryan will not be
renominated by his own party in 1904,
and that his pet issues of free coinage
and "imperialism" will be laid on the
shelf. it would not be surprising to
see the Nebraskan at the head OF a
party Of "reformers" three years
hence. II the democratic party is re-
organized, as has been suggested by
Mr.. Cleveland and other former lead
ers in the east, Mr.. Bryan may be glad

sex, general nativity and color by
groups of states and territories.
The group announced COM
prises Alabama, Alaska Arizona,

the males constitute the larger
percentage of the total popula-
ton.
In Colorado and connecticut 90
per cent of the population is
white; in California almost 90 per
cent, the rest being mostly
Chinese; in Arizona, the colored,
who are principally Indians, con-
stitute not quite one.fourth of the
population, while tho colored ele.
ment in Arkansas, being almost
wholly persons Of negro decent,
constitutes % per cent of the
population. In Alabama the col.
orcd population is as per cent,
and is practically made up Of
persons of negro decent. The
white population of Alabama and
Arkansas is composed principally
Of native white persons of native
