1t was raining heavily and Smilax
had not an umbrella, says Answers.
At last a smile 1uttered across mis-
rain-swept countenance.
That looks like old Jackson ahead
there, he murmured, land he's got a
brolly. Oh, joy!"
He quickened his footsteps and
tapped the man in front on the Shout
der.
IN thank you for that umbrella, if
you please" he said jokingly.
The supposed Jackson turned and
disclosed the perturbed face of an ut
ter stranger.
"Oh! is it yours?'' he said. well,
wasn't to know that. You can have
it,"
And, relinquiahing the CAMP to the
astonished Smilax. off he went.

What do you want, little boy?"
asked the druggist, according to the
Chi ago Tribune.
Say, mister" said the boy, who had
been wrinkling his face, scratching his
head and rubbing his right foot up and
down his left leg in the effort to re-
member something that had escaped
him, what's the name of that place
where we've got so many soldiers?"
Fort Sheridan?"

Better Than Medicine.

His temples were beginning to be
gray and he was old enough to have a
fully developed case of dyspepsia, says
the Chicago Record Herald. He looked
at the slice of roast beef, and then
tried to eat it, after which he signaled
to the waiter. Here, take this back"
he said, 81 can't eat meat that's roast
ed until it's like a piece of leather. 1
told you 1 wanted it rare. Do you call
this rare?'
Young man." replied the waiter 'ff
I give it to you any rarer than that it
would have to be raw. Look here. You
can squeeze the blood out of it,
Aften finishing a good hearty meal
the man with the dyspepsia handed
the waiter a quarter as a tip" and
went out saying to himself:
II wonder if he called me young
man just from force of habit or be-
cause he really meant ito"

The judge advocate general of
so far as the military serv-
ice is concerned, there are three
national" holidays--the Fourth of
July, Washington's Birthday and Me
mortal Day. AS a matter of fact and
legally speaking, there is no national
holiday; not even the Fourth of July
has been set apart by Congress- which.

iday for any part of the country ex-

it. In one or another of the states,
however, there is not a month in the
calendar, with the exception of Octo-
Der, that has not one or more legal

Legislature comes forward with a
proposition to stick a holiday into
October on the fourteenth day of the

honor of the landing of the great dis
coverer on Watling's Island.

The statement is made, on the au-
thority of ex-senator McLaurin of
South Carolina, who is vice president
of the Mohawk Valley Steel Company.
that contracts have been let for the
building of the company's great iron
and steel plant at Brunswick. Ga
The plant. it is said, is to cost $4,000, -
600. We heartily congratulate our
plucky and prosperous sister city on
having secured this esta blishment,
which, besides adding to the popula-
ton and prosperity of the place. will
advertise extensively the advantages
of Brunswick as a manufacturing and
shipping point Great enterprises, like
the one under consideration. draw 9TH
er enterprises after them, hence it is
almost certain that within a few years
there will be a marked increase in
Erunswick's manufactures.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has written in
letter to a committee in Canada that
Canada and the United States shall
be one nation" He doesn't say when
the union is to be brought about, or
by what means. Can it be that Mr.
Carnegie entertains the idea of buying
Canada and presenting it to the Unit
ed States, after having his name cut
over the door of the parliament build
ing and requiring a 10 per cent. main
tenance guarantee?

DR.. Lilinksjold of Butte, Mont, hav-
ing been tried, convicted and sentenced
to imprisonment for twenty days for
some minor offense, deliberately hynO-
tized himself, saying he would awaken
from his trance at the end of twenty
days-the period of his sentence. Here,
then, is a new and beneficent use for
hypnOtism. If self-hypnotism may
be practiced and the period for
awakening be fixed securely and GER
tainly, then life can be made more
livable and the sum of human happi-
ness can be increased. The young
man who calls to take his sweetheart
to the ball can hypnotic himself and
thus take no note of the flight of time
while she is putting on and straighten-
ing her hat. The husband and father
will not need to yawn and cape
through long and tiresome sermons.
The patient man will have his remedy
against the bore, and the impatient
lover can pleasantly bridge the wait
till the wedding day.

WORRIED BY THEIR WEALTH.

Our very rich men-such men as Car
negie, Morgan. Rockefeller and others
experienced more pleasure in accu-
mulating their wealth than they are
having in spending 1t. They are wor-
ried by their possessions. They don't
know what to do with their money.
One of the first things a multi-mil-
lionaire wants to do, when he is ready
to retire from business, is to build a
big house, Why he wants a house big
enough to accommodate a hundred or
more people he isn't prepared to ex-
plain. 1t is probable that he adopts
that way of telling the world that ne
is a very rich man.
After he gets his house he wants an
art gallery. 1t makes no difference
whether he knows anything about art
or not. He wants costly paintings be-
cause they are evidences of wealth
And it frequently happens that he gets
tired of his pictures almost as soon as
he has his collection completed.
These remarks were suggested by
statements, recently published, that
Mr. Widener, the street car magnate
of Philadelphia, had offered that city
his famous collection of pictures, stat
uary and tapestries, and that Mr.. j.
P Morgan had given orders for the
construction of an art gallery in his
New York residence that is to cost
$500 900.
Np Mnr0ar1 n or11 10 rcra hi
residence so that it will be larger than
Mr.. Carnegie's. The ground on which
his enlarged house is to stand has cost
him over $2,50O,OOO, and yet it has a
frontage of only 131 feet and a depth
of 300 feet. When Mr. Morgan has
finished making his collection of pic
lures he will probably give it to New
York city. He has very little time TO
devote to it, being too busily engaged
in promoting railroad and steamship
mergers.
The other day Mr.. Carnegie offered
to pay the bills of the students who
had been i'll with typhoid fever at
Cornell University and the offer was
accepted. His act was generous and
commendable, but it showed that he
was looking around all the while for
ways in which to get rid of his money.
1t is doubtful if he is as happy now
as he was when he was accommodating
his first $1,000. 1t is a question
whetheS any man who has accumu-
lated a great fortune gets much real
pleasure out of it.

Plymouth township, in Pennsylvania,
near Wilkes barre, is a small political
division in which the Democrats and
the Republicans are about equal in
number. with a slight advantage in
favor of the Democrats. Two or three
weeks ago nineteen of the Democratic
voters were arrested and lodged in Jail
on trumped-up charges, where they
were held until after the recent cleo
ton; then the grand jury found no
bills" against them and they were dis
charged. Meanwhile two Republicans
had been elected to office The votes
of the imprisoned men would have
thrown the election the other way.
That is how they play politics in Penn
sylvania; and the perpetrators of this
outrage think it was a smart trick and
perfectly justihable

A merry blue law war is being
waged in Maine. At Lewiston recently
the sheriff closed all of the candy shops
on Sunday. Now the candy people
have declared they will take steps to
have the old laws enforced against all
classes of citizens. Among other things
that will be affected will be the street
cars, the newspapers and the drug
stores.

and rations have been distributed to
them. But there has never been any
movement looking to taking them into
the body polite and letting them share
in running the government and hold
ing the offices.
After the civilizing of the In
dams was begun, by the gunpowder
process, the white race started in to
"civilizing" the Africans by the slav
cry process. Unlike the red men, the
blacks proved docile, amenable to dis
cipline and good workers. These at
tributes of character however, do not
indicate intellectually or capacity to
govern, or the Chinese would be the
most intellectual people in the world,
which they would dominate. In point
of brain power there can be little doubt
that the average red man is the equal
if not the superior of the average
black.
When President Roosevelt greeted the
Indian chiefs the other day, he stood
as the representative not only of the
government, but of the white mans
civilization of thousands of years, talk
ing to a race whose contact with civil
ization dates back only a few hun
bred years but which has been actually
longer than that of the black race in
the United States. 1t is this associa-
ton of facts that prompts the query,
why is there so much difference be-
tween the status of the Indian and
the negro under this government? Is
it because the negro won his promo
ton on merit, or because he was used
as a means of furnishing the South?

A dispatch in the Morning News a
day or two ago must have smashed
an ideal for many reader. 1t was
from New York, and stated that a
court had directed Russell Sage to
pay $4,000 for making bad loans for
a certain company Of which he was
a leading officer. 1t seems that Mr.
Sage and other members of the FL
nance Committee made so many bad
loans that the company had to 60
out of business. The general idea was
that Russell Sage had never made a
bad loan or lost a dollar by loan in
his life.

Has the original little Ratchet" of
George Washington been found? The
other day workers repairing the ceiling
of the Mary Washington Hospital in
Fredericksburg. Va, discovered a
small Ratchet, covered with rust, stuck
away close under the roof. The Ratchet
is of very old pattern, and there is
speculation as to whether it was the
identical one with which the cherry
tree was hacked. At any rate, it is
to be sent to Mount Vernon and placed
with the Washington relics.
