No Novelty Works.

In an interview with Mr.. Miles
last night relative to the Novelty

the chances for it's removal would
not be very good after the death
of Mr.. Schaul. The latter's sue
cessors would not take so kindly
to the matter as Mr.. Schaul and
he could say nothing definite as
to it's removal at this time.
Mr.. SchauPs death just at this
particular time will place the af-
fairs in bad shape and NJ. Miles
does not know how long it will
take to straighten matters out.

their utmost to turn out the or

This story concerning young
Senator hailing from the Southwest
serves to illustrate the knowingness
of the small son of the house.
The Senator's wife had as her
guest a young woman known to the
boy as Miss Anna. When the time
came for the departure of her guest
the Senator's wife, being unable to &C
company her to the station, asked her
husband and the small boy to go In
her stead Upon their return to the
hotel the Senator remained in the
lobby talking politics, while the small
boy went at once to his mother. In
due course the Senator entered her
room to find his wife in tears. After
repeated questionings as to what the
trouble was he was informed that his
small son had told her that his father
had kissed Miss Anna goodby.
Why my son, did you say such a
thing as that?" demanded the stern
parent.

Who .'Forgot Their Kerosene"
Her Sunday school class consisted
of youngsters, wherefore the explana-
lions Of the pretty parallels were not
always understood and made neces-
sary every Sunday a rehearsal of
what had been taught in the preced-
ing lesson.
Now, little girls, what did | tell
you about the parable OF the wise and
the foolish virgins last Sunday"
asked the teacher.
"A look of blameless ignorance sat
on the faces of all, until pair Of
bright, black eyes sparkled with de-
light from rear seat and tiny hand
shot into the air to attract the teach
er's attention. well, what about the
wise and the foolish virgins 2" the
teacher said.
..Why it was about the women that
forgot their kerosene" was the quick
answer.

Queer Abyssinian Currency.

A peculiar coin" is employed for
small charge in Abyssinia. This is no
other than bars of hard crystalized
salt, about 10 inches long and two and
half inches square, tightly tapering
toward the end. People are very par
ticular about the standard of fineness
OF the currency. If it does not ring
like metal when struck with the finger
nail, or if it is cracked or Clipped,
they will rot take it. 1t is a token of
affection when friends meet to give
each other lick Of their respective
coins" and in this way the value of
the bar is decreased. Smaller change
than a bar of salt is sometimes need
ed, and then the natives have re-
curse to cartridges. Three cartridges
pass for one bar of salt
