What Did The Apostle Paul Say


The other evening Rev. Mr.. Phil
acter sat down at the tea-table with
very thoughtful air, and attended to
the wants of his brood in a very alb
stracted manner. Presently he looked
up at his wife and said;
1.-THE Apostle Paul"
"Got an awful lump on the head
safternoon," broke in the pastors
eldest son, playing base ball. Bat
flew out of strikers hand when | was
umpire, and cracked me. Hurt?
Golly !" And the lad shook his head
in dismal, but expressive pantomime,
as he tenderly rubbed lump that
looked like billiard ball with hair
on it.
The pastor gravely paused for the
interruption and resumed:
"Ihe Apostle Paul
"Saw Mrs. Dash down at Green s
this afternoon, said his eldest daugh-
ter addressing her mother. "She had
on the same old everlasting black silk
made over with a vest of green silk,
coattail basque pattern overskirt made
with diagonal fold in front, edged with
deep fringe; dark felt hat, with black
velvet facing and pale blue flowers.
She's going to Chicago"
The good minister waited patiently
and then in tones which were just
shade louder than before, he resumed:
1.-THE Apostle Paul"
"Went in swimmin' last night with
Henry and Ben, and stepped on a
clam she'll, exclaimed his younger
son "and cut my foot so cant wear
my shoe; and please, can | stay at
home tomorrow
The pastor informed his son that he
could keep away from the river, and
again essayed his subject of conversa-
ton. He said:
THE Apostle Paul says -"
"My teacher is an awful story-tel-
ler," shouted the second son; che says
the world is as round as an orange,
and turns round all the time faster
than circus man can ride. / guess
he amt got much sense"
The mother lifted warning finger
toward the boy, and said, "Sh T. and
the father resumed:
The Apostle Paul says"
Don't bite off twice as much as you
can chew" broke out the eldest son,
reproving the assault of his little sis
ter on piece OF cake.
The pastors face showed just trife
of annoyance as he said in very firm
and decided tone:
1.-The Apostle Paul says"
"There's fly in the butter" said
the youngest hopeful of the family, and
a general laugh followed.
When silence had been restored the
eldest daughter, with an air of curios-
ity, said:
"Well, pa, I really would like to
know what the Apostle said"
Pass the mustard" SAID the pas
tor sternly.
And now the question is: What
did the Apostle really say that Rev.
Mr.. Philacter could have so curiously
construed? Oris it the New Version? ?

they will close their house next Sunday

that one manager had refused to abandon

Information has been received here of
the arrest in Chicago on charges of for
gerry and false pretenses of a man known
as j. A. Hull, who Is said to have been
bern in Hagerstown, Nd, where he was
known as G. G. Hoyt. The arrest greatly
interested the police of this city, as we'll as
those of most of the large cities through
out the United States. Hull is twenty-eight
years old and is said to be we'll connected.
having relatives at Beatrice, Neb, as well
as In Hagerstown. Because of the alleged
crooked transactions in which he Is alleged
to have figured his family disowned him
1t is said he is wanted in almost every civ
from New York to San Francisco, and that
he has worked as far south as New Or
leans. In Chicago, 1T Is said, he swindled
business firms. obtaining as much as $780,
600. Last year circular asking for his
arrest for the New York authorities was
issued. At that time 1t was alleged that he
had forged checks there as well as in Dem
YER st. Louis. Chicago and this city, some
of them representing as much as 81 800.
The Baltimore authorities also want him.
Only few months ago he was in that city
when, 1t Is said, he attempted to negotiate
a forged check for $500. He failed, how
ever. but managed to get out of the city
before the detectives could overtake him.
According to the information furnished
the police by the Thiel Detective Agency,
the prisoner has operated under the names

he1use from business Houses Swent
Into Streets.
1t has been brought to the attention of
District Commissioner Ross, who has i'm
mediate charge of the police department.
that recent inspection of many of the
business streets and avenues of Washing
ton showed that large number Of BUSH
ness men, perhaps unintentionally, violate
the police regulation which forbids the
sweeping of litter and dirt from stores to
the sidewalks in front. AS a result of this
fragments of paper are blown about, lodg-
ing largely upon parkings in front of un-
occupied buildings, where they lie for a
long time, an eyesore and a dscredit to
the city.
Il have thought" said Mr.. Ross, in
speaking Of the matter. that perhaps an
appeal through the press to our citizens to
remedy this evil might have some effect I
am sure all citizens have a just pride in
the appearance Of our city. Now that the
committees preparing for the inaugural
ceremonies have made such elaborate ar
rangements for the event, and in view of
the fact that hundreds of thousands of Wis
itors will get their first impressions of their
capital city during the inaugural week. 1t
seems especially fitting that all should CO.
operate in seeking to avoid doing anything
which would tend to mar the appearance
of the city,
Mr.. Ross also referred to the practice of
when people are on the way to places of
business, and the permitting Of waste water
to run across the sidewalks These matters
will be considered by the Commissioners.
with the probable result that police regu-
lation Will be made to prohibit them.

REQUIRING AFFIDAVIT.
Practice in Assessors Office Respect
ing Bills for Taxes.

Mr.. Robert Y. Slater Informed the District
Commissioners several days ago that he has
| been informed by the assessor that he can
not secure tax bills against lot 8, square
| IA, until he makes oath in regard TO it.
He inquired If such a rule has the sanction
| of the Commissioners. The Commissioners
referred the matter to the assessors Office,
and Mr.. S. T. Kalbfus, acting assistant as
| SCISSOR. has reported that in the past few
years the clerks of the office have made
thousands of arrears bills for persons who
claimed they intended to pay them. The
bills are delivered to those persons who are
we'll known to be engaged in the business
OF canceling taxes by reason of a tax sale,
and hundreds of bills, says Mr. Ka!bfus,
have been delivered to Mr.. Slater and the
firm of which he is member, assurances
being given that they would be paid. In
many cases, says Mr.. Kalbfus, they never
were paid and in all other cases the courts
Cancelled the same
"In vew," says Mr. Kalbfus "of the
great volume Of important current work on
hand. 1T was deemed wise to make some
regulation to curtail the great time and la
Dor wasted in making bills that We're never
paid. On February 16, 1901 Mr. Slater did
ask for all bills in arrears on lot o, square
IA, and was informed that affidavit was
necessary. Upon examination of the rec
ords of this office. we found the taxes due
from 1880 to 1885 The tax for 1896 was
sold to Robert Y. Slater April T. 1897. Now,
Mr.. Slater understands that suit brought
upon this sale will operate to cancel all
back taxes If we had made the bills as
requested, the benefit resulting would have
been to Mr.. Slater only, in that he would
then have been able to officially show 10
the owner of the property just what would
be saved by cancellation. 1t therefore
seemed waste Of time to make the bills
for him unless he made affidavit that he
would pay the same. In view of the past
experience. the condition of this property,
and that there was no fee to be charged for
the affidavit, consider that this was only
a reasonable regulation. and hope that YOU
