WOULDN'T HAVE ANY BUT PEERS.
From the New York World


There was sheriff down in my state"
said Senator Deboe of Kentucky, who
has a great respect for the written law.
He found out that prisoner was en-
titled to trial before jury OF his peers,
and with great labor he discovered what
peers meant. A worthless chap was to
be tried for some small offense, and when
the judge opened court he found the jury
box occupied by twelve OF the most
worthless characters of the county.
"'What does this mean? demanded the
judge
Well, said the sheriff, I knew the
prisoner was entitled to be tried by a
Jury of his peers 1t was pretty hard
work to get them. but in case any Of
these won't do. / have a few more hover
ing around a whisky barrel outside
The court looked at the prisoner and
at the jury.
The case is dismissed, was all he
said"

THE MAN WHO COULD TELL,

From the Saturday Evening Post
A good story which the appointment of
Governor Leslie NJ Shaw of Iowa to the
position of Secretary of the Treasury has
brought out is one concerning an incident
In his law practice in his native State.
Secretary Shaw had a 14-year-old boy
before him on the witness stand and was
conducting a REORGANIZATION. After
the usual preliminary questions, Shaw
began:
Have you any occupation?"
Mo-
Don't do work of any kind?'
No"
Just loaf around the house?"
That's about aH."
what does your father do?"
''Nothin much"
Does he do anything to support the
family?"
HE does odd Jobs once IN while when
he can get them"
LAS matter of fact, isn't your father
a pretty worthless fellow. a dead-beat
and a loafer?"
81 don't know sir; you'd better ask
him. He's sitting over there on the
jury"

The Fourth of July.

1.-The glorious Fourth of July will be
celebrated by Americans from one end
of the United States to the other and in
our colonial possessions" said a we'll
known citizen.
According to the Democratic pollti-
clans on the stump and in the lower
house of congress, the Declaration Of
Independence has been practically abro-
gated by the powers that be- but as a
matter of fact the historic instrument
credited to Thomas Jefferson is still in
effect and is still cherished by the great
body of the American people, regardless
of party politics.
In the north Independence Day is
celebrated with more noise and outward
demonstration than 1t is In the south,
perhaps, but In every southern town 1t
is observed with just as much of the pa
triotic feeling as it is across the Ohio"

IN HOTEL LoBgIES
AND ELSEWHERE


Speaking Of table dhote and a la
carte meals IN high price hotels. It may
be of interest to mention the fact that
the American plan has gone out of fash
ion In the dining cars on most Of the
lines" said travelling man.
THE railroad companies served elegant
meals for 81 No hotel could beat them,
but so many Of the passengers were not
hungry enough to eat dollars worth
and rather than pay for a full meal when
they wanted only bite and a cup of cof-
fee, they did not patronize the dining car
at all. Now that passengers pay only for
what they order the dining car business
is increasing. While persons with small
appetites spend considerably less than
a dollar, many there be on every through
train who spend more than a dollar for
meal, especially for dinner"

For Governor.

'"Thcre are many gubernatorial candi-
dates in sight and moro will move in sight
after the meeting of the Democratic state
executive committee" said a citizen who
takes likely interest IN politics, but
who is not looking fer an office.
Il think 1t may be stated as fact that
Former Governor Joseph r. Johnston
will announce within the next two weeks,
and with Captain Johnston in the race
we may look for one of the hottest cam
paigns of recent years. The great contest
for the Democratic nomination will be
between Jelks and Johnston. There will
probably be much trading between the
other candidates"

TITS THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER.

BY Thomas Moore.
Ills the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
TO reflect back her bushes
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone onel
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping
Co. sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly / scatter
Thy leaves DER the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may ! follow,
When friendships decay.
And from loves shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
o, who would inhabit
This bleak world alonef

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
Bread cast upon the waters comes back
TO you very stale.
II 1t is a sin for woman 10 glory in her
beauty, It is a beautiful sin.
The man in the moon is blushing red
because he sees so many queer things.
Humor is like whisky in making a per-
son who uses too much of it very wabbly.
After a man has been married too long
he doesn't work so much because life is
too short.
1t takes a red-headed girl to make a
man think it isn't womans looks that
count so much, but a woman's ways.
