HE HAD HIS SUSPICION.
The Colored Southern Minister Looked Askance at Andrew
 Carnegie's $50 Bill.

It is related that on the last tour of President Mckinley in the south, An drew Carnegie was in the party, and all were asked to attend negro church in Thomasville, Ga, where a very fervid colored minister officiated, says the Des AIoines Leader.
 It is said that whenever Hull came in the services the deacons took up a collection, but through hospitable mo- tives avoided passing the box to the white visitors. The old pastor rose at last and preached a sermon that was at the same time eloquent, earnest and ridiculous-preaching right at the white folks-and his description of the poverty of the church was so impress sive that when the deacons passed the contribution boxes around for the third time MT. Carnegie intercepted one and dropped $50 bill in the box.
 The old preacher counted their con- tents. When he had finished he placed a handful of small change on one side and a crisp grenback on the other. Clearing his throat he said:
 "Breddern, we has been greatly blessed by dish yer contebution. We has heah fo' dollahs an fo'ty cents dat is good, an if de $50 bill put in by de white gemman wid de gray whiskers is also good we is blessed a whole lot noah" And he looked spiciously at the giver of libraries and campaign funds

ST. PAUL's ARMLEss MAN.
Though Unfortunate, He Has More Attention Paid Him Than Many
 Who Have Two Arms.

A man without arms is not to be envied, although in some respects he receives more attention than one would at first suppose. The old man who sits under the shadow of St. Paul's is an example, says the New York Sun.
 He has been there day after day for two years, some say longer. He s there to sell his little wares.
 He is fond of his pipe. There is always some one around who fills the bowl, puts the stem between his lips, lights a match and fires the tobacco.
 All the armless man has to do is to draw and puff. Many a man with two arms has greater difficulty in getting his pipe to work.
 If storm breaks upon the curb dealer suddenly some one volunteers to bundle up his goods and carry them to shelter. Occasionally man with an umbrella offers the armless man protection.
 He also has some one to feed him. He does not have the trouble of cut ting a beefsteak. To him knives and forks and spoons are superhuous.
 At least this is the supposition of man who has two arms, and who stood looking at the armless man at St. Pauls.

rolling into the open. Invalid though he was, he bade fair to take the posi- ton by sheer force of his brawny arms.
 Fortunately, the colonel saw him be- fore the entire force of skirmishers had gone to the assistance of their wounded comrades.
 "Here, here!" he called, riding for- ward. What's all this ?'
 .s'Tis ownly me, Bill," answered O'Malley. "'Oi've important informa- tion for ye. 'Tis dirty trick"
 The colonels nerves being on edge, he was exasperated. He motioned the others away.
 "Don't call me Bill," he thundered; "call me sir. Pm the colonel of the regiment, my man.
 sOh," said O'Malley, softly, after staring interval, "is thot it? Well, the information Dive brought is not for ye, then. Iris sorry I am, too. for in a little whoile yer enemy, the ma ior, II be gettin' the upper hand as ye, and the fame av him as strate' gist and tictacter'll be tricklin through the regiment as beer trickles down dry throat, and thot's ire sistible.

 "O'Malley," he whispered. T don't care cuss what you call me; only tell me what you know"
 And O'Malley told him.
 It was said afterward that the mar had been slightly touched by the sun which accounted for his peculiar con duet that day, and the statement, st far as I know, was never disputed When the major, already flushed with triumph, was not quarter of : mile from the colonel's position, ht was met by volley after volley Q. blank cartridge shots and whole sky fuls of jeering yells. He was crush ingly defeated.

A peculiar custom is followed in remote Korea, where man is not permitted to attain to the dignity of trousers until he has become a Benedict, which, in accordance with Korean tradition, amounts to the same thing as, gaining definite po- sition in life,s as the Korean youth is not permitted to take wife unto himself until he is able to support her according to his or her rank and to enable her to take his and her proper position in society. It mist be added, however. that the steady encroachment of western ideas from Russia and Japan is bringing Euro- pean garments with it, and, there- fore, this curious custom is gradual ly becoming a thing of the past.-s Cincinnati Enquirer
