I Gates was expected to hop, skip or
jump on the pier is not stated, but
that he stepped on the pier in a dig
nified way is greatly to his credit and
the item deserves the prominence 1t
obtained. But with this report there
was an item that has been received
with some doubt by all those persons
who are close readers of the doings of
the great, and that is when he stepped
on the pier, as before noted, his daugh-
ter-in law gave him q "resound1nS
smack and said Hello, pop" There
is certainly some mistake in this. What
is a smack? No one seems to know,
guage in which the refined should
greet millionaire. 1t is to be hoped
that the officials of the Associated
Press will look this up and not allow
it's reporters TO trffle with the speech
of those in high places. 1t is quite
likely that the young woman said,
Hello, pepper and has been mis-
quoted.
Mr.. Richard Harding Davis, dear
Dickey, who writes such pretty stories,
has been getting himself talked about
once more and i'll a way that does him
great credit. In Marion, Mass, where
he lives at times. there was a fire, and
naturally much confusion resulted, but
companied by q very accomplished
bull pup, AMI I;ickey and the pup pro-
ceeded to rescue the terror stricken.
1t is not reported just how the pup
showed his bravery or what he did,
but it has been gravely stated that
several persons owe their lives to the
heroic presence of mind of Mr.. Davis
and his canine friend. Mr.. Davis hav-
ing so many good qualities and good
fortune it is almost too much to find
him also possessed of bravery-and
bull pup.
The want advertisements in the
daily papers often reveal much Of fam
lily history and uncover strange cases
of deformities os we'll as pathetic in
stances Of poverty and loss. Now, foT
instance, if one reads that "a long,
black lady's purse" has been lost, one
is certain that 1t was not owned by
any member of the federated clubs.
Again, ga fat lady's watch" having
been found and advertised one can al
most see the owner so vivid is the pic
ture coniured UP by the advertise
ment. "a brown gents pocketbook" Is
also descriptive, and the pathos of a
short notice reading: "a lady wants
washing" is sufficiently narrowing.
The following, which appeared recent
ly, tells its own tale: Wanted, fur
ulSIl6Q TOOTH Oh IuSu BTOulO, oil liiOu-
ern improvements in the house which
must be firsI-class IN every respect to
suit a Christian woman catching the
morning sun; rent mentioned. A
Christian woman who constantly
catches the morning sun should not
have to advertise long. Here is an
other which reveals jovial and pleasr
ant disposition: "a ladylike cook
wishes a sit-would share table with
family; serves lady charlotte gelatine
beautifully; wages moderate" This
shows much kindness on the part OF
the ladylike cook as one might be so
unfortunate as to employ one who
would not care to share the table with
the family.
Evidence that Hawaii is thoroughly
civilized at last comes with the report
that the treasurer of the islands has
disappeared with the funds.
The man who gets cinder in his
eye is considered very fortunate.
Minneapolis is soon to have the hon. j.
or Of entertaining convention of up-<
dertakers. One of the features will be,
a walk about the city and trolley
party to the cemetery. NAB.
