People and Things

The latest distress of those persons
at Newport who have nothing to do
but to Kill time as agreeably as posi-
Die, arises in connection with Mrs.
EIsh IS Iancy dress ball to be given on
the END. Mrs. Fish desired the men
VINO dance in the colonial auadrilles
TO be without mustaches as being
more lifting and suitable to- the -oeca-
sion. So when the fat went forth
through Newport that mustaches
must go, CONSERVATION reigned
among the masculine elect who
were the possessors of very beautiful
nustaches, and the question was
whether 1T were better to hold onto
The adornment on their upper Iips.
and be in Mrs. Fish's black books, or
TO sacrifice them and be strictly in it.
1t was question serious enough to
provoke an international complication
and much time was given to pondering
upon it, The sorrow caused by her
ofdef reaching the ears of Mrs Fish,
she very gracefully receded and has
assured those of her guests with whom
1nustaehes are no laughing matter,
that rather than work any hardship
upon Ihem and disturb their peace Of
mind, she would allow them to come
mustaches and all. Every one viii
breathe easier to know that this mo-
mentouS question has been settled. as
Much space has. been given to IT in
the public prints and much discussion
on street corners has been occasioned
Dy the matter. 1t is now about time

. Trouble Made BY Women.
+ A morning paper says: rye are
ashamed of the other sex" Oh, oh.
Inc question might arise which is the
other sex, but isn't that awful? IT
seems according to the paper in oues-
uon, that American women have been
tel1lng taradiddIes to the census man
ABOUT their ages and the man is very
much put out. The morning paper
mofaIlzes two sticks full about the
Lack of moral responsibility shown
by the "other sex" in these nreyarica-
lions and scolds and scolds until An
the women who read it felt Perfectly
aWfulIy." To have a stern noralist
IKE that morning paper get down on
the women is not pleasant. But after
nV4tlg as long as 1t has in a wicked
Mplla II ought to know that a woman
who will tell the truth about her a1ga
is not to be believed upon any other
subject.
Many inventions.
A Minneapolis man has Invented
machine to harvest potatoes which If
practical, will cause a sudden cessa
tloh or the customary autumn back
acne SO prominent in agricultural cir
cIes. 1t is pleasant to know that in
THESE times of stress in our sister city
that one man has allowed his mind to
go back to the soil and has been turn
ing his attention to pastoral subjects.
But Minneapolis is the home of CON
trasts and on top of this pleasant bit
OF information about the potato har-
Vester comes the news that another
lnhabltant of the same town has in
vented a wireless political machine
which it is supposed will make a sen
satlon not only locally but all over
the country. These and other enter
prlses are all evidences of how to be
happy without a mayor or chief of
police.
