Too Small for Its ACE.

A gentleman who had employed an
old colored carpenter to do a piece OF
rather delicate cabinet work for him
was pleased beyond his expectations
with the result.
Wishing to show his satisfaction, he
after paying the price the old man
asked-took from the sideboard bot
tie of extraordinarily fine whiskey that
had just been sent him and poured a
little into a glass.
Uncle" he inquired, "have tou ever
tasted whiskey fifty years old?' ....
mo, sab, I never has," replied the
old darky, his voice; trembling with
anticipation. h.. 49,. .'..
well, try that, then," said his EN-,
ployer, handing him the glass, "and

HAND HOLDING IN KANSAS:
Tho Etiquette OF the Evening Call Laid
Down in Emporia.

Tho Etiquette OF the Evening C8H Lalu
Down in Emporia.
An important question was up for
discussion last night at the regular
meeting Of the Amalgamated Hand
holders Union. Ray Witherington,
who holds high Office in the national
organization, was accused by a certain
west side girl of being "slow." that he
had called at her house few evenings
ago, and after making few shy at
tcmpts at holding her hand had given
up and hadn't done thing but talk
the remainder of the evening. and that
in her opinion he wasn't fit or COM
petent person to hold the place he did
in the Handholders' Union.
The story reached the ears Of With
erington's enemies in the union, and
they at once brought charges Of 'in-
competency" before the "eSalted
strangleholder," who decided to in
vestigate the charges. Witherington
was called before this official and told
his "side." He said that he had made
a conscientious effort to hold this girls
hand, and when she refused the sixth
time and had threatened to call her
father, he had desisted, that further
effort would be rude and ungentle-
manly.
The west side girl was then called
on the witness stand and asked to tes-
tify. She said that Ray had tried six
times. but that none Of the girls in her
crowd thought of letting young man
hold her hand under eight trials. She
said she had hear of certain girls that
cid, but that she thought no. lady who:
cared anything for her reputation
would do a thing like that. She adj
mitted having threatened to call her
father, but that the young man ought
to have had better. sense than to think
thatsshe meant to do 1t.
When her testimony was completed
q long discussion arose as to how long
IL young man could persist in trying to
holdsa young lady's hand without be-
ing considered rude and ungentleman'
ly, and how soon Il self-respecting
young lady could give up without ac-
quiring the reputation Of being "easy.'
1t ended by the exalted stransleholder
giving his opinion that three attempts
We're. enough, and that six was too
many, and that any girls with melt
ing point either above or below these
figures was to be boycotted by the
union.
The question Of how long a young
gentleman should know a young lady
before he held her hand was also
brought up for discussion. After con-
siderable debating and deliberating by
the officials it decided that a young
to call On girl at least two
times and not more than four times be-
fore She was entitled to sit in the ham,
mock with her and hold her hand

change is already old. and we have for

such little transportation as we had

ure riding on the street cars was then
unknown, ard the pleasures OF the

Moreover. the quickening OF life that
came with rapid transit and the gem
eral broadening out TO larger areas and
more comfortable living come to be an
old story in the city.
But in the smaller towns. where the
trolley is new aud the closer connection
with the larger and busier centres Of

are just now working, and it is inter-

Largest Auto in the World.

Ehe largest automobile ever built is
a harvester and "auto" combined and
is used in Southern California. 1t is
equal to sixty horses and goes at the
rate of three and a half miles an hour,
moving a swath thirty-siX feet wide,
putting up. the grain in finished shape,
threshing, etc.
The machine is sixty feet long and
thirty feet wide. The motive power
is furnished by oil. 1t is such an
expensive = harvest hand" that one
farmer cannot, Of course, own it alone.
but is the property of a company, and
goes from one farm to another. Eight
lllen are required to run it. AS the
machine starts off the grain begins
falling in sacks on the opposite side
from where it is cut and the straw
drops into cart behind.
Three machines sent to Russia for
work on the steppes were delayed in
China and captured by the Boxers.
There they remained for Il couple OF
years, but they are now il Russia ANA
