At a public dinner In New York one
night the statement was made that the
colored race had longer memories than
white folk. Mark Twain, who was
present, agreed with the remark and
to prove 1t told the following:

In the story:
The Wall street man was walking
with friend down Broadway when
at Tventy-third street he was accosted
by beggar. The man was more per
slstent than the ordinary mendicant,
and to get rid Of him the broker said:
81 will give you 80 cents IL you will
give me your coat"
"All right, boss" replied the beggar.
and within a moment the change had
been made.
The broker and his friend then turned
back and went up Fifth avenue to their
hotel. Still carrying the beggar's coat
the man Of finance strolled into the
lobby and began telling the story to
his friends.
81 think you made q bad bargain"
said one.
Look In the pockets" said another.
And as the broker went through the
ragged garment he pulled forth As

The natives of New Guinea hold te-

they regard the white man as a being

The Matinee Hat.

The campaign against the wearing of
hats in theaters is progressing rapidly IN
all countries. In Paris NJ. Jules Claretie
of the Coincide Franchise had decided to
refer the matter to his patrons who will
vote on it. and their verdict will be fol-
lowed. The rule now obtaining in the
Franchise is that women, under no cir
substances, can wear hats in the stalls,
but may do so in any other part Of the
house. In the Ristori Theater in Verona,
not long ago, where Novelli was acting,
there was a great commotion. The pre-
feet of the town had prohibited the wear
ing of hats in the theater; but, notwith-
standing this order, large number Of
women appeared with their usual head
gear. The manager appeared on the stage
and asked them to comply with the law
They refused to do so, and in the end the
police were called in to remove the ladies
by force. This was done, and then the
performance proceeded.
