 "Gentlemen," said the auctioneer, "an' ladies, we have just sold you some chairs fit to adofn the parlor of the White House-and mighty fine bargain you got in them, Mrs Bing- ham-one that you'll be proud of to your dying day. But you don't want to eat all your cake at once, so to speak-plain an fancy-that's my rule. Ladies an gentlemen, you now see be- fore you a box of the necessities of 1ife-of those small but useful things, over whichever the not having which when you want lem I should say you've spent time and temper enough to plant a three-acre lot. I see here bottles. What can be more useful than bottles now? I ask you candidly. Ain't none of you parents, I s'pose ever knocked the paregoric bottle off the stand getting up i'll the dark some dark night when the baby cried? Worth something to have an empty bottle handy then, ain't it? And ten to one there isn't one within half mile It's bottles like the one you wanted that night I see in this box; also nails. Anything handler than nails that you can mention?-les it's keys and keys we have here. stacks of 'em, warranted to fit that valise you ain't been able to open for two years past. In short, ladies an gentlemen, this box is Handy Housewife and a Golden Treasury combined, warranted to fit every emergency. Now how much am I offered for this box of unparalleled treasures? Ten cents. MT Chase says ten cents. Why. ladies an gentlemen, there may be hundred ten cent pieces in that box of buttons that I spy down in one corner. see from the counte- nance of my friend MT Plum that I'm what the children call warm No vember Lippincott's Magazine.

The president had "a jolly time in Pennington yesterday. and the resi- dents of that historic old town will long remember his visit. He romped with the children, patted the boys and girls on the head, and shook hands with the older and more sedate DOT tion of the community. Now and then he sa1uted some veteran of the wars in such a friendly way that he made those spoken to think they were old chums. Roosevelt is a hail fellow well met, and trip now and then like that of yesterday will do more to make him president for another term than all the wire pulling by the favored politicians that could be done from now until the day of the next republican convention.

CAMEL AGAINST TROLLEY.
A Ship of the Desert More Than Holds
 His Own in a Race

~A-@
 One of the Zoos big double turreted camels had race with Vine and Clifton car on Vine street early Tues day morning. The complete discom- fiture of the motorman, as the un- Wieldy "ship of the desert" beat the electric the length of several camels' necks was witnessed by great crowd. The camel appeared before ' o'clock on the thoroughfare in charge of keeper with an Arabian com pIexion. The camel went along we'll enough the car threatened to knock a few blocks of fat off his slanting roof. Evidently this made the animal angry for with q carefully executed shriek of rage ne-or she-gave a grotesQue four-leged simultaneous kick at the vehicle. The keeper mounted the rear platform and the car brzZed down the street.. The camers feet seemed to meet at common center, fly out four ways at the same time, his tail went up and so did his head and the car was losing ground. Alittle more cur rent was met by little more camel.
 The wheels were going like mad, but the old camel lifted his tail still higher and elevated his facial expression of solemn dignity to a one-story height, his twin humps fopped like the cur tains of an old spring bonnet and his well padded feet projected forty feet jumps with absolute ease. When the car stopped at Vine and Seventh this bit of bric-a-brac from the Zoo had taken up all the slack in the head line, he had hopped past the car and was first over the crossing in race two blocks long.
 The camel which was victorious in the unique race is one of the biggest beasts in captivity. It is of the Siber- ian variety and was purchased by the Cincinnati Zoo from Cal Hagenback, the great Hamburg collector. about a year ago. HagenbaclS told Secretary Williams of the Zoo. at the time of the sale that the camel was the largest he had ever seen. It now weighs 1 400 pounds and is very speedy. At the of the race the camel was in charge of Keeper William Carroll, who was standing on the rear platform of the car holding the camel with long rope tether. which permitted the big beast considerable radius of action. The camel was being sent to Indian apolis, where a street fair is in prog ress.-Cincinnat Times-Star.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER p, 1901.

The Sehley naval court hasn't fin ished it's business yet and those edi- tors who are telling their readers that already the decision is in his favor, may be doing something that will in jure him. The naval court must pass on the bunch of evidence that has been presented to it, and while every fair minded man wants to see Schley win it would be too bad to have his case injured just at this time by editors that are apparently friendly to him. Hold up the criticisms until the court has had chance.
