Judge Pennypacker in a public
address once prediced a certain po-
pularmovement as sure TO occur
within agiven time. Afriend asked
the judge il il were not rash TO make
a positive statement regarding a
specific date for any occurrence,
arguing that nothing is certain. In
reply the Judge told of q Celtic cook
who asked his mistress one Monday
for leave of absence the following
Sunday to attend her brother s
funenal.
why" exclaimed the mistress,
this is only Monday! Surely, no
body's going to keep q dead body a
whole week!
Hes not dead yet, num-" ex,
planned the cook.
mol Well, he may die. today OF
he may live a month. No doctor
can safely say that person will die
at such time that day may be sci
for the funeral.
The doctor nothin' to do with
it, num-" was the further explana.

The President and the Tariff.

The President has an eye to the
tariff all the time. He regards pro-
lection as the bedrock of American
prosperity, and he is afraid of re-
vision. He would not even lon of
a twig less the tree should fall. It
is admitted that the present tariff is
unscientific and excessive. 1t is.
moreover, an invidiously discrimi-
mating tariff. But the country is
prosperous, and tariff reform should
wait until the returns of commerce
begin to dwindle. Possibly that
time IS not so far distant as Mr..
Roosevelt may imagine. The peo-
pie are expected to believe, mean
while. not only that they have been
enriched by taxation, but their pros
perity will kil when they are no
longer compelledtopa higherprices
for American goods than the same
articles command in European mar
kets. Not even to crush or to check
the trusts can they take the risk of
lowering duties that are in many in
stances exhorbitant and in others
manifestly useless even to the indus
tries IN behalf of which they are Us
tensibly laid. But the argument
tells. and Mr.. Roosevelt dwells upon
1t. giving no credit for good times 10
the country's free institutions. its
immense extent and growing popu-
lation, its wonderful variety OF eli
mates, its mineral We and the
splendid opportunities iorded by
freedom of trade between all its sec
tions.-New Orleans Rfcayuae.

The typical Irish cslbman is q per-
son Of much sagacisy. One night
the Rev. John Williams, q newly re-
turned missionary, took q car, in a
dubious frame Of mind. He had been
invited to dine with some friends at
the house Of an acquaintance whose
name he had forgotten. He only
knew that his host lived on Harcourt
street.
"What am to dor" he asked his
driver.
Never mind. sor," was the re-
ply. I'm find him for you."
But you can't. You don't know
his name.
Lave it to me, sor. Lave ittome
entoirely."
They drove 10 Harcourt street,
and the man, beginning at the top,
knocked at every door and made az
inquiry. Half way down the street
he gayly reioined his employer
Its all right, s.or; it's here.
"How do you know?"
II asked, sor, Does the Reverend
Misther Williams live here?' AnG
the maid said: No, but he's dining
here. - The Scotsman.

A story is told OF farmers dog
that had been found guilty of obtain.
ing food by false pretenses. The
animal was extremely fond of bis
cults, and had been taught by his
owner to go afterShem himself, car.
rying a written order in his mouth.
Day after day he appeared at the
bakery, bringing his masters or
der, and by and by the shopman be-
came careless about reading the
document.
Finally. when settlement day
came the farmer complained that he
was charged with more biscuits than
he had ordered.
The baker was surprised and then
next time the dog came in with a
slip of paper between his teeth he
took the trouble to look at it. The
paper was blank, and further inves-
tigation showed that whenever the
dog felt a craving for biscuits he
looked around for q piece of paper
and trotted of to the shop.

E0r No man should ever make ex.
cuses to a woman who loves him.

and accept them too.

Saint Nafg $ BEACON.


Every hotel in New York has a
storeroom for articles left behind by
guests. 1t is one of the important
departments Of the establishment and
often earns the gratitude OF travellers
whose unfortunate habit Of forget
ting leads them TO look for things
that are missing. In hotels book
is kept in which are iotted down
descriptions OF articles forgotten.
When hotel does a large transient
business, IL is frequently with
difficulty that lost articles are ar
ranged for identification.
The integrity Of servants must be
relied upon 70 large extent. The
chambermaid takes immediate pos
session OF room upon the guest g
departure. She picks up anything
that appears to have been left unin-
tentionally. A note describing the
article and giving the name Of the
guest, the room number and the
time the guest departed is taken to
the clerk. The property is turned
over TO the housekeeper and by
her to the ''lost" department.
Said the clerk of one fashionable
hotel: II remember q singular
case of a man who didn t respond al
once to the hall boys call for an
early train. The result was that
when he did get up he had to run.
From the station we got q call on
the telephone:
Hurry up tony room" he shout.
ed, land en- the table you'll find a
valuable package. 1t is my eyes.
Send them TO the station"
Sure enough, We found two glass
eyes on the dressing table in plush
case. One was for daily use and the
other for an emergency. Guests
often forget their false teeth. but
that was the only case | ever knew
Of man leaving his eyes"
Rings and pins are often found on
the washstand. Valuable pins are
found everywhere, the window
curtains being afavorite depository.
Watches and pistols bob out from
under pillows. OF course when the
owners address is known aud any
thing valuable is left he is notified
and the article sent to him. II not
called for in a few months, the for
gotten article usually becomes the
perquisite Of the employees.

Pruning Pear Trees.

A boy who had read the story ofG.
Washington and the Ratchet cherish
ed an ambition to initiate the Father
OF His Country; and taking the AK
he one day cut down q choice pear
tree which had cost his father -. 5O
when it was yearling. When the
old man got onto the fact that the
tree was chopped down just as it
was getting ready to bear, he was
tOlerably warm, and said: II won
der If this is some Of that kid S work
II it is | will warm him up till he
will have toeas standing for o week. +"
Then the old man sought out the
lad and asked him if he knew who
cut down that tree. He expected to
trap the boy into confession, but
the boy had made some obser-
vations himself, and answered: II
think, dad. that you know more
than any other man in the country
and l have heard you say that when
one isn't sure what is the best
thing to say he had better keep his
mouth shut. This tree question is
one about which l don't care to
express an opinion.
MY son, said the old man as he
clasped the boy TO his arms, IF you
will stick TO the rule all your life
you will be the greatest politician
that ever came down the pike. -

A GALEsBURG YOUTH
DISAPPEARS IN THIS CITY

a Mrs. Owens, of Galesburg, arrived
here last night to look for her 40
year-old son who disappeared from
the home of an uncle in this city
Monday. The youth had been visit
ing here about month, when he left
here without notifying any of the rel
atives. Surprising he had gone home,
they wrote to his mother. But he
had not done so, and she arrived here
to look for him last night much dis
tressed. The lad has two uncles who
live on Big island, one of them having
a houseboat there, and it is thought
possible that the missing one is there.
The mother left for the island this
morning in the hope of finding him
there.
