Beveridge Won a Prize.

Senator Beveridge was chatting with
some friends at the Waldorf the other
night, says the New York Press, when
a member of the group remarked:
Senator, you may electrify the
country with few speeches while you
are in the Senate, but you will never
surpass the effort by which you won
the interstate oratorical prize while
you we're at De Paw University"
perhaps not" said the senator with
a quizzical smile.
did you notice Beveridge's smile
when l spoke of his college oratory?'
asked the first speaker after the hoos-
Ter senator had left the party. He
won that prize by trick that ought
to have made him famous even If he
had not had ability to back it up.
Among the Western colleges the in
terstate oratorical prize is the greatest
honor that can fall to the lot of the
undergraduate. Students begin train
ing for it by the time they enter as
freshmen. In most colleges juniors
only are eligible, although sophomores
often try for it. The local contest Is
held in the spring. Then all the col
leges of the state that are in the or
ganization meet and hold contest in
the fall. The winner of this is the
state representative to the interstate.
"Beveridge represented Indiana at
the contest of which have spoken.
In the drawing of lots for places on
the programme he was seventh. He
knew that both audience and judges
would be worn out by the food of elo-
quence long before he appeared and
he determined that he must do some
thing to get attention. A visit was
paid to a member of the Indiana dele
CATION to the janitor of the opera
house in which the speaking was to
take place The janitor was persuad-
ed to lend himself to working out
little scheme.
zone after another the orators spoke.
Gradually, so imperceptibly that 1t
was noticed only by the hoosier dele
gates in the plot, the lights on the
stage grew weary. By the time the
sixth speaker had finished the audi
torium was in semi-darkness.
Then Beverdge was announced.
Instantly the lights flashed up with
bright glare. The young lndlanian
leaped to the center of the stage ana
everyone in the audience sat up ana
took notice The effect Of this artince
was that Beveridge got closer atten-
ton than any other speaker and ne
won the prize"

c. r. Kennedy of the "Everyman"
company is credited by Harper's Week
ly with this story:
On one occasion Sir Henry Irving s
company, having been called to the
theater for rehearsal, arrived there
ahead of time. AS Sir Henry had not
yet come, one of the actors in the COM
pany, who was noted for his accom-
plishments as a mimic, proceeded to
give a lively and elaborate imitation
of Sir Henry's highly characteristic
acting. AS he finished his demonstra-
ton, well-known voice came from
the depths of the darkened auditorium:
Very good" it said. Very good
indeed, So good, in fact, that there
is no need for both Of us in this COM
pany."
1t is also related that a brother actor
famous for his pomposity and his in
ordinate ambition was RECALLING Irving
with forecast of his plans for the
future.
II shall begin the season" he an
nounced, with such and such part;
and after that l shall appear as Ham
let"
'Um!" drawled Irving. "As-eh-
Hamlet, did you say?"
The other, incensed by the tone Of
the query, bridled up at once.
do you think, Sir Henry" he de-
manded, Indignantly, chat you are the
only man who can play Hamlet?"
oh no. rejoined Irving blandly;
but 1 am quite sure that you are the
only man who can't"

THE TROUBLE IN THE COAL
FIELDS

The new trouble in the anthracite
coal fields is over the old question.
namely, the recognition of the miners
union. II will be recalled that the
commission that was appointed by the
government to settle the coal strike did
not recommend the recognition of the
United Mine Workers in their award,
but it did provide a method for set
Ting grievances as they arose be-
tween the miners and the operators.
This method consists of arbitration
boards composed of representatives of
the operators and the miners. 1t
seems, however, the operators will
not recognize the representatives on
the arbitration boards appointed by
the miners for the reason, they say,
that the appointments were not made
in accordance with the award of the
government commission.
The point at issue really is this: The
operators contend that if they should
recognize the representatives the min
ers have appointed they would, In eff
feet, recognize the miners union, and
that, they say, they will never do On
the other hand the miners say that in
selecting their representatives they
obeyed the instructions of the govern
ment commission.
The issues which have been raised,
and which may be the cause of
strike more prolonged and disastrous
than the last one was. are to be dis
cussed at meeting to be held by the
miners on the 18th of this month 1t
would not be surprising If there should
be a strike. The miners are very de-
termined, but not more so than the OPP
orators. The operators are determin-
ed they will not recognize the miners
union and the miners are just as de-
termined that they shall recognize it.
1t may be that cooler counsels will
prevail before the date fixed for the
meeting. The country certainly doesn't
want the condition of affairs that pre-
vailed last year wherever anthracite
coal is used. Another strike of the pro-
portions of that of last year would
make a great many converts to the
policy of government ownership of the
anthracite coal fields.

Got His Money Back.

e. NJ. Virgins. a Joplin man, lost
and recovered $50 in an unusual way a
few days ago, says the Kansas City
Journal. He had the odd habit of car
rying his surplus cash in the sweat
band of his hat. He had $40 thus
hidden the other day when he laid his
hat down in a restaurant to eat.
When he got up, by mistake he wore
away another mans hat. For several
days he kept a sharp watch for the
man he had exchanged with. Finally
he was walking north on Main street
when a hat came sailing from an cleo
trio car, followed by a stranger, who
was angrily muttering: by gosh, l
wish the guy that stole my hat would
fetch 1T back"
Immediately removing the one he
had on he said TO the stranger: Amt
this yours?"
by gum, it isl" was the reply.
Virgins then made a grab for the 9TH
er hat. and, on turning down the
swaziland, found that, sure enough,
his twenty "plunks" were still there.
He will patronize a bank hereafter.

One day last month a preacher made
application at the Patent Office in
Washington for patent on the "Eze-
kiel flying machine" He said he had
found in the Book of Ezekiel a full and
practical recipe for the construction of
a machine that would fly. He had
worked the thing out in India ink
drawings. and was sure that it would
do all claimed for it. The Patent Of
fee requires every inventor to swear
that, to the best of his knowledge and
belief, he was the discoverer of the de-
vice sought to be patented. When the
reverend gentlemen was asked to sub
scribe to the customary oath he shook
his head sadly and left the office; he
could not take the credit to himself for
the discovery set down in the Book of
Ezekiel. That is why the Ezekiel 1ly-
ing machine will not be on the market
this summer.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: Young Mr.. Rockefeller in
forms the public that he once thought
of preparing an answer to Miss Tar
bells accusations against the Standard
Oil Company, but decided to adhere to
the time-honored policy of the concern
and maintain silence under attack.
John D., Jr., is not going to let Miss
Tarbell tempt him into any such indis-
erection as Brer Rabbit committed with
reference to the Tar Baby"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem. } says:
ernor of Guam. one Of our insular pos
sessions, wants a lot of money for edu-
cational purposes on the island. The
latest census of the island shows a
population of 1876 and 200 square miles
of territory. The people are almost
exclusively Filipinos by birth or de-
scent and nine-tenths of these can read
and write. If the American Governor
proposes to educate these people on the
same basis in vogue in some of our
American rural communities, ii would
be vastly better to let them alone. A
community, nine-tenths of whose peo-
pie have the rudiments of education,
can't be said to be In very bad condi-
ton"

Consul General Evans, formerly PEN

that let's in a flood of light on the char
acter of two former officials of the
Postoffice Department now under in
vestigation. He says: 81 know Beavers
and Machen. and l also know some-
thing of their methods. Both of
these men were. in their own estima-
ton, too big for their jobs. They
seemed to feel that the government
was a comparatively small affair, and
that the PostofIfce Department was
created for them. Although 1 never APP

not perfectly proper, they were always
talking reciprocity until l got to a
point where l told certain postmasters
in whom l was interested that they
must never put me in the attitude OF
asking a favor of either of these men.
Even when they had granted a favor
they made me feel that Il was not a
part OF the government service, but a
purely personal matter which one or
the other OF them controlled" Evil

A beggar approached husky young
man at Broadway and Wall street,

hand. told a piteous tale of a job near
one Hundred and Sixteenth street.
and two cents lacking to pay the fare,
says the Mail and Express.
Sure" said the young man. Hard
luck. isn't it? Haven't the change, but
drop aboard the car and I'll pay the
conductor. It's good for Hundred and
steenth street and more. and the Jobs

The tramp suppressed his disgust as
best he could, and the athletic chap
hustled him in the car with laugh
and a slap on the shoulder.
At Liberty street the "panhandler"
made for the door; and there met the
husky young man, who playfully push
ed him back and said: 1T isn't Hun
dredth and 'steenth street yet. Don't
you be anxious, for I'm going all the
way myself"
At Canal street the beggar appealed
to the conductor. Get off If you
want" said the conductor who had
been taken into the secret, ''but I'm
thinking you're better off on, and
that's no Joke. Look at the fists on the
man."
At Houston street the applicant for
aims sneaked for the front door, but
the importunate man, too, was "on,"
and threatened him demolition. So ne
planned strategic movement, in the
execution of which he worked his way,
seat by seat, to the door.
At Sixteenth street, where the car
stopped for transfers to and from the
crosstown lines, he saw his chance,
and took IL. The conductor was busy
letting 'em off first please, the young
man was gazing at the sky. whistling
a soft air. So the beggar slipped to the
platform and reached the step. There
a ponderous woman, bound to be first
to board the car, halted him for a mo-
ment.
1t was fatal. The young mans hand
fell on his shoulder. and the young
mans voice shouted, "Wowi" in his
ear. The shout and surprise gave him
an impetus that carried him to the
sidewalk I'm a bound, regardless OF all
in his way. At full speed, he galloped
across the lawns and crocus beds of
Union Square. Without breaking his
stride he hurdled over a line Of
benches, and as he landed on the
walk. an ever-ready policeman fell on
him with his club.
When the car went on again. with
the indignant, ponderous woman be-
rating the conductor. the husky young
man saw his sOrely battered charge
disappear In the grasp Of the law.

Gentlemen:

Savannah, Ga.
Gentlemen:
1t gives me great pleasure to en-
dorse Kalola most heartily. I have
recommended it to many of my pa
irons and take it myself with most
satisfactory results. After the winter
season of stress and strain nothing re-
lieves the pallor and sa1lowness of
the society woman like Kalola. 1t
gives fresh impetus to the sluggish
liver, increases circulation. and makes
clear skin and rosy cheeks. To those
who want the best in the way of an
invigorating and health-giving aperi-
ent, II say again, take Kalola." Num-
bers of my patrons to whom I have
recommended it say they cannot do
without ii.
Yours sincerely,

After forty-two years residence at

sell Sage is going to move. He has
been run out by the encroachments of
trade. His pet aversion, however is a
candy store and ice cream parlor that
have been established next door to
his house. Mrs. Sage says the exhaust
fan that has been established in the
back part of the ice cream parlor for
the purpose of cooling the room is
right under her dining room window.
and 1t makes so much noise she can
not think. Furthermore, she is dis
gusted at the exhibitions OF shallow
ness, extravaganza and foolishness that
young women make around the candy
store. Recently she saw an elegantly
dressed young woman drive up in
perfectly appointed carriage. With her
were three dogs. She bought ice cream
for herself and for each OF the dogs.
and the quartette ate their cream to-
gether. The sight was so dispeasing

the neighborhood.
