Reflections OF a Bachelor

From the New York Press.
Affection is love with the lining worn
out
There was never a hero who wasn't a
hero-worshiper.
The way out OF an engagement is never
the same way you got in.
Two years after marriage, the banquet
OF love is a cold, picked-up supper on the
girls afternoon out.
one of the things a girl will never for
give a man for Is when he makes exactly
the same quotation that she was intend
ing to.
The kind OF a play that a girl never for
gets Is the one that had one scene in It
that was 50 exciting that she broke her
garter.
ID is much more likely that women are
angels than Il Il that angels are women.
Marriage is a great thing for a man; Il

1t Was Old Ice.

The servant girl who follows directions
explicitly has always been considered a
jewel, but there are some flaws even in
the most valuable gems, as this story
shows, says the New York Mail and Elk
press.
The jewel in question was a Scandina-
Wan, willing and vigorous, but not over
gifted with intelligence. When she first
arrived on the scene she had never seen a
refrigerator before. After initiating her
into its mysteries, the new mistress in
structed her never to leave in the icebox
anything old or left over. but to keep it
perfectly clean and fresh by throwing
away the old things every morning.
On the day following this the mistress
happened to look out of the window and
noticed something peculiar in the yard,
Summoning the maid she asked:
Sophia, what is that, and how did 1t
get there?"
The Scandinavian beamed with JOY at
her own cleverness and in expectation of
cordial approval.
THAT is old ice, ma'am left from yes

Probably the most extraordinary cane
in this country is one of goodly proper
lions carried by Senator Jones, the Me-
vada millionaire, and the reason he clings
to it as tenaciously as he does is quite
unique, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Many years ago Senator Jones, then
president of a bank in San Francisco,
started to ride home on a street car. When
the conductor came around for the fare
Mr.. Jones discovered that he was with
out cent. He got off and walked back
to the bank where he secured a handful
of change. Il wish l had a walking
stick that would hold 100 nickels," he said,
land then a thing like this would not &C.
cur"
This remark was repeated in the pres
ence of Judge Goodwin of Salt Lake City,
who started a subscription to purchase
the nickel-holding cane. A very hand
some walking stick of ebony with a
heavy gold head, was procured, and the
inside was followed out and 100 nickels
placed therin. The cane was later seat
to Washington, where Mr.. Jones happen
ed to be staying, and he carries it with
nina to this day.

DISPATCHES IN THE CARTER CASE

Within the last few days some remark
able dispatches bearing on the Carter
case have been sent out from Washing
ton. The writers of them could not have
had any knowledge of the facts in the
case 1t would be difficult, if not impos-
sible, to get further away from the truth.
Evidently there was an effort to manu-
facture something sensational, without
any regard for the truth. The occasion
was the appointment of an Attorney Cen
eral. The aim was to make it appear
that the new Attorney General had de-
cided to prosecute vigorously everybody
suspected of being implicated with Mr.
Carter in river and harbor frauds.
II is doubtful If Attorney General Knox
has anything more than a newspaper
knowledge of the Carter case, and it can
be set down as fact that he isn't going
to show any more zeal in that case, or
the case of Greene and Gaynor, than
was shown by his predecessor.
These remarkable dispatches say that
prosecutions are to be begun against
men in Savannah and other cities who
shared with Mr. Carter his ill-gotten
gains. AS a matter of fact, it is too late
to indict anybody at this time for these
frauds. If Mr.. Carter. and the Gaynors
and Greene were not under indictment
they could not be indicted now. because
OF the statute of limitations. Therefore,
nobody else is going to be indicted, not
even the prominent men, alleged to be
implicated with the principals.
Again it is asserted that the Attorney
General will take the Greene and Gaynor
case out of the state court and have it
tried in the federal court, and will press
the case to trial at once. The case has
never been in state court. IL is in the
United States court. where It has always
BEEN And there is no way to press it
more vigorously than It has been press
ed The question of removing the de-
PENDANTS from New York to Georgia for
trial is pending before a United States
Judge in New York city, and he will de-
eide it when he pleases, He will not he
influenced in any way by the Attorney
General
Again It is said in these dispatches that
the investments OF Mr.. Carter have been
located by the government expert, and
that the government will undertake to
recover the amount which. II is alleged.

Fair Warning.

A popular Cleveland doctor tells this
story of a bright boy, his own, who had
reached the mature age of 8 after an
early career marked by many wild and
mischievous pranks, says the Cleveland
Leader.
His restless nature has made him some
thing of torment to his teacher at times
and one afternoon not long ago she kept
him after the others were dismissed and
had a serious talk with him. Perhaps
she was little afraid that her admoni-
lions were falling on stony ground. Any
way, she finally said:
Il certainly will have to ask your father
to come and see me-"
Don't you do it," said the boy.
The teacher thought she had made an
impression.
yes" she repeated, Il must send fol-
your father"
"You better not" said the boy.
"Why not?" inquired the teacher.
"'Cause he charges 81 visit" said
the scamp

The Dear Little Boy Go, Even.

AT the performance the other evening
was stately mother who tried in vain to
suppress the enervescent wonder and glee
of her blue-eyed hopeful, says the Chi
cago News. Every time there was a
new entry or an exciting climax the lit
tie fellow would climb up and ply his
mother with fusilade of breathless ques-
tons. And then there were times when
his mirth knew no bounds.
"Oh, mama! he would exclaim, Just
look at that funny old woman an dog
an house,
The old man in the forward orchestra
chair had been frowning over his Shout
der for some time. Finally, he turned
around and savagely Kissed:
Tut! tut! child. Keep quiet; you are
interrupting the performance"
In fear the little fellow shrank toward
his mother. Not one sound escaped his
lips for five minutes. Then he suddenly
leaned forward and whispered in the old
mans ear:
please. sir. have just kicked hole
in your hat"
WHAT sputtered the old man, reach
ing for his silk headgear. 'Y-you young
rascal I'll punish you for this
1t was critical juncture in the drama
and the house was intensely still. The
old mans irate voice rang from parqust
to gallery. An usher tiptoed down the
aisle.

The old man made no retort. He had
just discovered that he was victim Of
the little fellows revenge. There was
not a mark on the silk tile.

the boy as they started home.

stately mother; you should say that you

From the New England Magazine.
I.
A boy was born mid little things.
Between little world and sky
And dreamed not of the cosmic rings
Round which the circling planets fly.
He lived in little works and thoughts,
Where little ventures grow and plod,
And paced and ploughed his little plots,
And prayed unto his little God.
But as the mighty system grew,
His faith grew faint with many scars
The Cosmos widened in his view
But God was lost among His stars.
II.
Another boy in lowly days,
As he. to little things was born.
But gathered lore in woodland ways,
And from the glory of the morn.
AS wider skies broke on his view,
God greatened in his growing mind;
Each year he dreamed his God anew,
And left his older God behind.
lie saw the boundless scheme dilate,
In star and blossom, sky and clod;
And as the universe grew great,
He dreamed for 1t a greater God.

HARD LINES FOR GALVESTON.

Galveston is not receiving very liberal
treatment from the Texas Legislature.
She asked that her state taxes be remit

request has been so amended as to pro-
vide for renting the taxes for two years,
but it has not yet been passed, and the
session is almost at an end 1t is said
that there are indications that it will not
be passed.
1t would not be of much benefit If it
should pass, as it would give the city
only about $4,000 1t is estimated that
the concession asked for would give Gal
weston an amount sufficient to raise the

the sea during the storm. and make her
safe against future storms.
1t would seem to be a good investment
for Texas TO remit the city's taxes for
fifteen years The amount which the
state Woutu lose would be about 500. 000.
But at the end Of the period in question
Galveston would be far richer city than
she was at the time she was wrecked. She

In fact, there may be other disastrous

that event the amount of taxes the state
