IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF.
Unusual PrecautiOn Taken by n Man
Who Thought He Might Turn
Up Missing.

81 suppose every trade has peculiar
customers" said the head man in a big
re tail shoe house, relates the New York
Sun. 81 had one in here a few moments
ago who wanted buttoned shoes.
Nothing particularly strange in that
we have em, but after he had tried
on several pairs and none just suited, |
suggested that we might please him in
lace shoes.
HE shook his head and put up his
hands.
"'Excuse me- he said, wouldn't wear
lace shoes if you gave me every pair
in your house. Did you ever notice.
he continued, that every man or wom-
an reported to the police as missing is
described as wearing lace shoes when
last seen"
II had never noticed it, but this man
assured rue that it was so. | asked him
if he expected to turn up missing. He
said he might, and if he did he wanted
the description of himself to be little
different from the stereotyped one.
THAT was his notion, and it seemed
TO be fixed, for he went out"

THE DAYS OF MOTOR CARS.
How We Shall Get About mt That
Period of the Worlds
Hlhtory.

When the motor car shall have Gust
ed the horse vehicle, says Henry Nor
man in the World Work, there will
be no need for families TO herd to-
gether. 70 make a call 80 miles dis

we shall be able TO live with great ben

hopelessly out-of-the-way country
places, and yet be in no way cut of
from the advantages Of town life.
Theaters, concerts, good doctors, good
shops viii be within reach wherever
we may pitch our tents; there will Be
no need to disfRure the landscape with
networks Of railways. Our streets
will be cleaner and quieter, and our
goods delivered much more expedi-

our grandchildren will wonder how
we dragged along at all IN the days
when we were dependent on horses
trains and bicycles.

WOULD EXPLORE TURKESTAN.

Prof. Raphael Sumpelly, the geolo-
pist and author, who is now In London,
will start In few days for Russia,
whence be hopes to visit Turkestan,
though IL Is not certain that Russia
will permit him to go there. Speaking
about his proposed trip, Prof. Pun
pelly said:
There have been great physical geo.
graphical changes operating through
many thousands of years toward rem
dering central Asia more or less des-
ert country. These changes have pro-
duced gradual depopulation Of coun-
tries that were once largely peopled
with different degrees Of civilization
dating back several thousand years.
The object Of my trip is to see whether
the region offers promising field for
the study of the relation between
measurable physical geographical
changes, and economic, social and eth
nographic change, and for archaeolog-
zeal research in connection Herewith.
"The journey is taken under the au-
spices Of the Carnegie Institute for
Original Research at Washington. 1t

do for 40 years, but l have never pre-
viously had time"

BRUTAL COLT TRAINING.

There Is q right way and wrong

Michigan farmer He bad been fright

well tame him. said Farmer Per
kins. Under his coat he hid a stout
halter and a heavy bull whip. Then,
holding a grain measure temptlngly be-
fore him, he climbed the pasture fence.
In the measure were oats, which he
ratified seductively. Also he called
mildly and persuasively. Blue BlaZes
was suspicious. Four times he allowed
the farmer to come almost within
reaching distance, only to turn and bolt
with a snort of alarm just at the cru
cial moment. At last be concluded that
he must have just one taste Of those
oats.
Come collie! Nice coltiem cooed
the man In q strained but conciliating
voice.
Blue Blazes planted himself for a
sudden whirl, stretched his neck as far
as possible and worked his upper lip
inquiringly. The smell of the oats
lured him on. Hardly had he touched
his nose to the grain before the meas
ure was dropped, and he found himself
roughly grabbed by the forelock. In a
moment he saw the hated straps and
ropes. Before he could break away
the halter was around his neck and
buckled firmly.
Farmer Perkins changed his tone.
"Now, you ugly little brute, I've got

A Washington gentleman, formerly
from Somerset county, said a few days
ago, that his opinion had undergone
something of change in regard to negro
suffrage In the South. His experience is
doubtless that of great many northern
men. They may hold as tenaciously as
ever to the theory of negro suffrage as a
right to that race, but have arrived at
the conclusion that, under existing cir
cumstances, it is impractical. Suffrage
is practically denied to the colored race
In Southern states. This is an accom-
plished fact and must be recognized as
such, however unjust to the colored men
or humiliatlng it may be to those who
remember the great service the colored
race in the South was In the war of the
Rebellion and the right they earned by
loyalty to the Nation and the blood of
thousands shed in the time of the M
TONS sore need. The right of suffrage
is conferred by State laws. The United
States government cannot require states
to grant 1t, but the constitution by an
amendment adopted in reconstruction
times does provide that where suffrage
is denied to the negro race by any state,
the representation of that state in Con-
gress shall be reduced to the extent of
such denial. States have the power to
deny suffrage to The blacks but at the
expense of their representation In Con-
gress. Certain states have passed laws
which have the eff ct to practically
count out the coloIed race They are
framed with great ingenuity and intend.
ed to come within the constitutional
provision, but they have not yet been
passed upon by the United States courtS.
Northern statesmen hesitate about rails
ing the issue. This is injustice, palpahle
and rank, in the representation of states
in Congress heing based upon large
fraction of the population that has nc
representation at the polls. 1t is posi-
bic the injustice is inevitable but an ut.
tempt to remedy it ought to be made.

Quantities of ornaments are lost each
year at the drawing rooms or courts
at Buckingham palace, and only very
small proportion is recovered.
A very strange story is still told
about a diamond necklace which was
found at one of the state balls some
years ago. 1t happened that one of
Queen Victorla's ladies' In waiting pick
ed up a diamond necklace from the
floor. AS she stood with 1t in her hand
lady came quickly forward and
claimed It,
The finder was very firm, however,
and declared 1t was her duty to give IT
in to the lord chamberlain's office, as
this was the rule with regard to any
thing found in the palace. The lady
protested in vain, but the oldest thing
was that this necklace never was
claimed and is probably still at the
lord chamberlain's office
