and allowed the People to gaze at him, the Grandeur of the Spectacle made one forget the real Horrors of War.
 Many of the ardent Admirers of Prof. Cuff, and Capt. Cuff, and Judge Cuff, and Col. Cuff believed that he had climbed to the Summit of Greatness when he appeared in his SAP Plume. Not so. One Year the State Militia was to have an Encampment and the Governor gave Col James Henry Cuff the Job of buying all the Beans, Fresh Beef and other Supplies, because there promised to be a slight rake- off. Officially he was known as the Commissary-General.
 Then 1t came about that after Years of Endeavor, James Henry Cuff who left the Post a poor and unknown Boy went under the Wire a real General.
 When his Daughters went away to Boarding School and were inc troduced as the Offspring of Gen. James H. Cuff they assumed a so- cial Leadership. Gen. Cuff led the Grand March at a great many Military Balls. At Banquet cost ing $8 per Plate he sat at the Right of the Chairman wearing Medals which had been presented to him by the 4th Ward Marching Club. In his Address he always defended the Soldier against unwarranted Attacks and protested against hauling down the Flag at any Time or Place.
 If the Government adopted a new Machine Gun, all the Report CTS went over and interviewed Gen. James Henry Cuff about it. He wrote a Magazine Article on the Mistakes of the British in South Africa and likewise got rid of a few ponderous Opinions on our Policy in the Philippines.
 When he died, the Funeral Pro cession was two miles long. The amily had to erect two Marble Shafts so as to find Room for all of his Titles.

 What's it all about?" asked MT. Hennessy. Why shud amy wan want to go to tn North Pole? Amt it cold enough here?'
 T niver cud quite make it out" said MT, Dooley. I've heerd tell that years ago, befure tn fire or tn war, some wan had an idee in his foolish head that they was a gran sea up there with blue wather dimplin' in tn moonlight an cocynut threes growin' on tn shore an if a man cud on'y get in with his boat, he cud sail around tn wurruld an fetch up in Chiny. That idee blew up an thin some wan said 'twud be fine thing f'r science if a white man cud get to tn North Pole. What he'd do if he got there no wan has amy thought. Accordin' to what hear tn North Pole ain't like a tillygraft pole, barber pole, fishin' pole, a clothes pole, a polecat, a poll tax.

or n1S Birth the Wlnu changed and blew m another Di- rection, Apples fell off the Trees, Chickens went to Roost at Mid Day. All Nature seemed to have been given a Jolt by the Portent- ous Event. For James Henry Cuff was born to know all the Brands of Human Greatness. Destiny had put Green Tag on him and noth- ing could stop him.
 When he was only 1S years of age he was elected Captain of a Volunteer Fire Department, which was a valuable Organization, only when there was a Fire no one could find the Key to the House in which they kept the Hand Pump. But the Papers began to speak of him as Captain Cuff. His Intimates called him Cap. After the Hose Company disbanded his Title clung to him and it was gen erally believed that he had been with Grant at Appomattox.
 Not satisfied with a resounding Title for which those in the Regu- lar Army have to struggle for Years, Captain Cuff began to give Lessons on the Flute at 50 cents an hour and the first thing he knew he was real Professor, just the same as if he had gone up in a Balloon or had some trained Horses.

 James Henry Cuff at the age of 30 was both a Captain and Pro lessor, but his unsuitable Ambition spurred him to go out and gather other Laurels. So he ran for Jus tice of the Peace and was elected the third time he ran because the other Candidate pulled out. As Magistrate he became custodian of a Law-Book, a Checker-Board and a stack of Blank Affidavits. Once every three months or so somebody would levy on a Cow or threaten to Assault and then the Judge would get a chance to operate his Craft. But he didn't care so much about the Income, so long as he could be addressed as Judge, He allowed his Hair to grow into a long, graceful Cow Lick that kept falling into his Eyes and he looked at the Side walk meditatively as ne went over to the Grocery to get his Fine Cut. Sometimes when he was far enough from Home those who met him and heard him called Judge thought that ne was on the Su- preme Bench.
 In the course of Time he began to crave a Political Job so he be- gan to stump around in the Inter- ests of the Machine. He drove out to District School-H Houses with the American Eagle seated on the Dashboard of his Buggy and when he got on the Platform he waved

 One of the newspapers devoted to the feminine interest has been organizing a competition relative to the nomination of celebrated Frenchwomen to an .'Acad- emy of Lady Immortals." From the re- suits it appears that no less a person than Mime Sara Bernhardt was the prime favorite with the electors. She received nearly 5000 votes. She was fol- lowed by Madeleine Lemaire and Louise Abbema, artists; Daniel Lesueur, novel; ist; Augusta Holmes. composer of music; the Duchess dUzes, patroness of art; Severine the lady journalist; Mime Re- jane, the actress; Mime Adam the lady politician Mime Rostand, poetess, and wife of the dramatist: Mime Alphonse Daudet; Gyp. or the comtesse de Martel, writer of amusing fiction, and so on. There were also nominated two vocal ists, Mile. Marie Delna of the Opera Comique and Emma Calve.
