The following story is told Of ven-
triloquist, now famous, but at the
time of this happening so hard up he
used to walk between the cities where
he was to appear. On one OF these
tours he came to Philadelphia on foot,
and on the road he picked up a
miserable little dog "because it looked
80 much like he felt" The story will
explain what became Of the dog.
The first house he came to was a
saloon and of course he wanted a
drink. He hal no money, but wen'
in anyhow to see whet he could do
The proprietor, German, said:
"Well, what will you navef"
He said, "I'll take a whiskey," and
then, turning to the dog, he asked:
"What will you have?"
The answer came very promptly
I"I1l take ham sandwich"
The German was so surprised hi
almost tainted. He looked at the dog
q mor,ent and then asked:
"What did you say?"
The dog replied:
II eaid ham sandwich"
Hans thought 1t wonderful that 8
dog should be able to talk and askes
who had trained him, how long it hat
taken, etc., and wound up with:
elbow much you take for him?"
"Oh," said Mr.. Ventriloquist, 81
wouldn't sell him at any price, but

him for little while 80 can shov
him to some smart people I kno,
around here"
So everything was sestled, the mon
ey paid, etc., and as the ventriloquis
went out he turned and waved hi
hand to the deg and said:
swell, goodbye, Jack, I'll ccme bac
soon."

A city hall employee tells the story
of an otficeholder who was one OF q
party that attended the funeral OF 9
Chinaman on a recent Sunday. He
took great deal of interest in the
queer services at the grave, and
noticed that, among other things, 9
roasted duck was left there by the
departing mourners. Calling one o.
the "Chinks" aside he asked:
"Why did you leave the duck or
the grave? Do you think the deat
man will come out and eat it?"

Our Holidays
Youth IS Companion

AOsAsn NOuAP~AAon
The Fourth July, measured by any
standard, is the great American holi-
day. 1t is observed in every State and
Territory and in tbs District of Col
umbia. Its celebration in our insular
possessions IL becoming more general
each year. In all the great cities OF
other countries the American resi-
dents, with such tourist as happen to
be. there, usually gather for some
recognition of the day.
In this northern hemisphere no
moro fortunate date for a holiday
could have been hit upon. 1t seems
like the portal through which the
heated term of the year enters. just as
Labor day in in early September may
be regarded rs the end OF summer.
By the Fourth Of July. the schools
have all closed, and the season for
vacation has begun. In many parts
of the country, too, this holiday seems
to mark what is almost an intermission
between the spring work and the bar
vesting of the summer crops. It thus
happens that almost everybody likes to
celebrate Independence day, for rea-
sons aside from the worthy impulses
OF patriotism. To use an overworked
phrase, the Continental Congress un-
Willingly chose the Psychological
moment" for such a holiday as this
would naturally become.
All OF the States keep Christmas,
and most of them Thanksgiving day
but In the other holidays there is son-
siderable local variation. New-yeari I
day is observed in most of the States,
but is not a legal holiday in all in
which it is observed. Washington's
birthday and election day in Noyembel
are almost everywhere legalized. Labor
day and Memorial day are each obser.
ved in q large majority of the States.
California celebrates an Admission
day; Louisiana commentaries the
Battle of New Orleans, Texas the ami.
versary of Texan Independence, Massa'
chusetts the Battle of Lexington
North Carolina the Mecklenburg De
claration of Independence, Utah .
Pioneers day, and Vermont the Battle
of Bennington.
Lincoln's birthday, already a holiday
in few States, would doubtless be
come more general but for it's nearness
to February 22d. General Lees birth
day is a holiday in Virginia, the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Florida and Alabama
and jefferson Davis birthday In the
three States last named. The religion!
holidays, aside from Christmas, have
never made great beadway in thi'
country.

When Chas. w. Thompson, Con-
gresham from Alabama, took a com.
i,ahy oi his fellow congressman
South some time ago, they spent
some time in Asheville. The follow
ing appeared in the Atlanta Journal
concerning their visit to our mountain
city:
One of the interesting places shown
the northerners was Colonel Ed Nc.
Kissick's log cabin room underneath
the Battery Park hotel, at Asheville.
At Asheville the party became the
guest Of the board OF trade. Carriages
were furnished and a drive through
Biltrore was enjoyed. Returning,
the visitors were driven to points from
which all the gay scenery about the
mountain tower could be observed
Still one or two we're not satisfied.
''There is something about the
mountains l wan. to see, but for th
life OF me can't recall what it ls,'
declared Judge Fuller, of Iowa. "Out
my way we have few mountains, you
know, and am not familiar with the
mountain adjuncts."
Colonel McKissick came to the res
cue and began to call oyer the names
of things usually associated with
mountains.
as it bear? A cave? A trout?" he
suggested, bat Judge Fuller shook his
head after each name.
Colonel McKisslck went on:
"Is it q moonshine still"
"That's it! That's it !" cried the
Iowan. 81 want to see a moonshine
still"
"Then come With me-" replied the
amiable host, and he led the way tc
his log cabin under the hotel.
There, hidden away In corner and
half concealed by pile of skins such
as mountaineers have in their cabin
homes, stood copper still and worm
as natural as though the visitors wer;
revenue officers just stumbling upor
it. Colonel McKissick had bought
at public auction after a raid by Off
GERS in the neighboring mountains
and Had installed it along with hi,
other log cabin relics. The sight o.
the still seemed to satisfy the curiosity
of the visitors, tor they didn't adjourn
to the bar to sample the stills product
as some OF Colonel McKissick's 3 guest
have done In iorner years.
The northerners were completed,
carried away with the beauty of Ashe
vile and the superb scenery they look
ed upon along the line Of the railwa,
as they lett this thriving city.

At this writing 1t is thought that
there will be great strike in Norfolk
among the street car employees.
President Malone, OF the Amalgamated
Association of Railway Employees, Of
ST. Louis, came to Norfolk a day or
two ago and held secret conference
with local labor leaders.
The carpenters; strike has been some
what successful and this has given
some assurance to those who wished
to engage in other strikes.
Strikes are deplorable affairs always,
and there ought to be some other way
Of settling differences. As has heen
said in these columns before, a labor
ing man has the personal right to labor
for whom it suits him, and In the ab.
sence of contract to the contrary
he has the right to stop work when he
pleases but hs has not the moral
right to interfere in the relations be
tween employers and other labor
And when trouble comes through
strikes, however the work OF employ
ers may be lnterfered with, the strikerl
in the end get the worst OF it.

Gently published an interesting note
upon the question by Prof. V. Monti.
The positions chosen were perhaps the
most suitable for the purpose of any
among the italian network OF stations,
viz, the Colleglo Romano and Monte
cavo, an isolated station near Rome,
situated at an altitude of about 1000
meters the complete observations at
both stations, for the years 1880-87, !,
are contained in the Annals OF the
italian Meteorological Office. During
this period, forty-one days of hall were
recorded at Rome against eighty at
Montecavo; the monthly values show
to maxlma, in April and October, aud
to mlnima, in July and December, a

tain station. A comparison of days OF
thunderstorms shows, on the other
hand, that there were rs such storms
at Rome, against 20 at Montecavo.
This SEEING to show the excess Of hail
/
at the mountain station is not attl Thu
table to greater intensity of atmos-
pheric electricity. The author gives
a table showing that the monthly
mean temperature at Rome is at times
about 10 degrees higher than at Monte
cavo, and suggests that the fusion ol

air may account for the smaller amount
at Rome.

 The ownership of the medal will be de- cided by a competitive drill, which will be held during the practice camp of the 2nd at Selma.
 Mir. Hefiin's friendship for the Alabama National Guard is evid snced by his record in. the Legislature. He was counted one of the strong friends of the guard in that body and his support of bills for the up- building of the military of the State was never withheld.
 The End Regiment is composed of com panies from the middle section of Alaba- ma and Mir. Heflin has a wide acqualnt- ance among the men and officers of the End. Some of his warmest friends are among the young men of the guard
 MT. Hefin was classmate of Col. F. H. Graves, the commanding officer of the End. They were both members of the class of 1892 at Auburn and on one occa- sion both were selected as the two repre- sentatives of the Websterian Society at a famous joint debate at the Alabama Poly technic Institute.
 The arrangements for the awarding of the medal will be completed when the regiment goes into camp.
 The judges will be named by Col F.. H. Graves and the competitive drill will take place some afternoon after dress parade in the presence of the great crowd
