A certain drug clerk had heard the
story of the colored woman who, on
asking for flesh. colored court plaster,
was given black by the observant
shop-keeper.: and he treasured up the
incident, hoping for an opportunity to
initiate the sharpness of the dealer.
His opportunity came. One evening
comely colored girl stepped into the
store where he was employed.
g / wants some co'rt-plaster, she
said. said.
What color?:,' inquired the clerk,
with affected nonchalance.
Flesh cullah, sab. .
Trembling in his shoes, and keeping
within reach of a heavy pestle, the
clerk banded the young woman box
of black court-plaster. He was sur
prised at the time that the situation
afforded so little humor. The girl
opened the box With deliberation that
was ominous, but the face was unrutfied
as she noted the color of the contents:
81 guess you mus a misunderstood
my ordah. I asked for flesh cnliah.
and you done give me skin cullah, :
she said.
The drug clerk is said to be still a
little dazed, and he has firmly resolv-
ed to subject every joke to rigid labor

Preacher Rebukes the King.

London, March There was a
striking scene in the City Temple
yesterday, VIXEN during the course of
his sermon, the Rev. Joseph Parker,
d. D., the minister. administered
a pointed rebuke to King Edward,
which was loudly applauded by the
congregation. Having alluded to pub
lie houses as trap-doors of hell, . DR..
Parker referred to the Kings recent
brewing of beer while visiting Lord
Burton. Pray for me, said the
divine, that Imay speak delicately,
Loyalty. If the King brews beer what
can be wrong the subject drinking
it, What the King does is likely TO
be initiated by others. If the King
goes to Sunday concert, as he did
recently, be deals deadly blow to the

cannot attend ncn-conformist place
Of worship, but he can got Sunday

EFFORT TO DEFEAT
CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Some Republicans Wish to Postpone.
All Action for This Session.

Washington, March Sunday
brought something of 9 lull..ln tnes
agitation over Cuban reciprocity, al
though the elements for and against
concessions continued to prosecute
their plans in anticipation OF the,
STRUGGLE on Tuesday night when the
fourth conference OF house Repuplleans
will be held. During the day there
were no formal meetings and consu1ta-
tions. The tactical plans OF the Ways
and means committee are largely com:
mitted to Representative Long, Of
Kansas, who was busy prosecutlng;h his
canvass. Mr.. Long was in consulta-
tion during the day with Speak ker.
Henderson, who is taking an acsive;
interest in having the ways and means
committee supported, on the ground
that the opposition is one which to.
some extent affects the regular organl-
zation Of tie house. The various con-
snltations, however. did not lead to
anynew developments in the situation.
Those who oppose the ways and means
committee continued to assert that
they had list showing l08 Republlcan
members with some Is more doubtful.
If this claim could be made good. II
would be decisive in the coming con
ference. But Chairman Payne and his
associa ates, while giving no figures, DO.
not concede the strength claimed by
tha opposition. When seen tonight
MT. Payne declined to say what the
committee plans are or to make any
claims but said he was entirely salts
fed with the situation. One OF the
leaders of the opposition element says:
that the main effort on Tuesday night
would be to defer all action, at least
for this session Of congress.

MoRE PAY FOR ENGLISH Army.

London, March 8.-The new army
regulations proposed by the war secre.
stary, Mr. Brodrick, providing fo1
increased pay and other reform, which
have created so much comment, ap.
pear to have been directly copied from
the United States. Major Arthur
Lee, M. formerly British military
attache at Washington, said to a
representative Of. the Associated Press:
- last we have taken out lea1
from your excellent book, though dc
not believe We have gone quite 50 sfa1
in. that direction as we might, or hope
we may. Under Mr.. Brodrick,s pro
posed changes a private In the British
infan try now receives almost as much
as a private In the United States army.
With this change, which I frequent
II advocated while military attache at
Washington, We hope to get class
of recruits similar to those secured IN
America. Under the. old pay we
were gradually lowering the physical
standard, yet still finding it hard to
get men, while our desertion percent
age was increasing at rate which
showed there was something wrong
with the system. The American army
was the only other voluntarily y-enllsted
body in the world with which we
could make serviceable comparisons,
the Continental armies, owing to con-
scription and other causes, being per
fectly worthless as examples. a year
ago Mr.. Brodrick pooh poohed the
idea Of copying the United States:
Now he has changed his mind and
has done what the majority Of the
Of the House, regardless OF
party, believe to be the very best thing
that could have happened to the army.
East year the Government indicated
It's fears that it might have to resort
to conscription. The present move
banishes all possibility Of this, for ]
understand Mr.. Brodrick is willing to
90 even further in copying the United
States excellent treatment Of enlisted
men and by liberal finance build up
the standard Of the army. The IN
crease In pay means an additional an
nual cost Of about 100000.

Blind BEGGAR's CONFESSION.
Man Vine Has Made Big Money
Tells Of Some of the Tricks Of
the Trade.
Richmond Times

From casual necessity begging has
become an art in which ingenuity
excels. Today@the tricks of the beggar
are multitudinous and clever: the
same effort and care in another profes-
sion would possibly win distinction In
other pursuits for the best of the beg
gars. Of late Richmond has had her
share Of beggers, several of them hav-
ing come before Justice Crutchfeld in
the Police Court. In view Of the great
number OF beggars now in this city,
the confession of one, supposed to be
blind, is interesting. This concession
was made to the writer a day or so ago
and throws a vast deal of light upon
begging as an art.
According to the statement Of this
beggar he has been operating in Rich
mond for some three weeks, and has
made something like So a day ever
since he has been here. His plan is
ridiculous in its simple and is dis
tinguished by the fact that he never
asks for money or even wears sign
stating that he is blind. And the
ridiculous part Of it all is that he is
not blind, never has been, and makes
no outside pretensions in that direc-
tion. He came here from Baltimore,
where he operated until driven away.

II have noticed that In every case
where my wedding fee was less
than IS the marriage turned out
badly" said Rev S. P. West, OF
the Africa Methodist Episcopal
church, the other day to a group of
men who were discussing the odd
marriage fees a clergyman some
times gets. Il have married prob,
ably 40 couples In my ministerial
career, and I never knew 1t to fail
that the man who gave me small
fee made poor husband. The
way I account for 1t Is this: the
man who doesn't think enough of
the woman he marries nor appre-
ciate the so1emnity of the occasion
sufficiently to save IS to conform
to the conventional custom, doesn't
put sufficient estimate on life to
live properly. A marriage under
such conditions Is bound to be a
failure.
