II wish you would get me some more
music" she remarked, according to
the Chicago Post.
where's that last piece I bought
you?" he asked.
Here it is" she replied, and she
played it,
WED go broke buying music if you
Had you way" he said. 1--WE have
enough to stock a music house now"
"Oh, very we'll" she returned, re-
signedly. IN leave it all to you here
after. without even suggestion"
Now that looked like an easy vic
tory and he smiled complacently. But
little he knew the subtlety and re-
sourcefulness of the feminine mind
Never a word did she say, but she
played that piece, and the children
played it.
He heard it before breakfast and
growled.
He heard It before dinner and grum-
bled.
He heard it in the evening and swore.
Have you lost everything else?" he
asked finally.
"Oh, no. she replied sweetly "but
this is the latest thing we have"
He let his wife alone after that, but
ventured to try his daughter.
why do you always play that?" he
demande
TITS the latest thing we have" she
answered.
The next evening he brought home
some new pieces
after this" he told his wife, when
you want music let me know"
"Oh, you are the best Judge Of what
is necessary and what we can afford, -
she returned. LAS I said before. we
will leave it all to you, without even
suggestion. Then you cannot
grumble about the expense"
For a time there was "a variety that
was pleasing. Then they got down
to one tune again-the latest that
they had. Just as this was becoming
absolutely uncomfortable .e found a
music catalogue on the piano with
several pieces marked. He brought
them home and relief followed.
He has discovered. so he says in
confidence. that the appearance of anv
new popular air seems to have a ten
dency to bring on a one-tune period
that is distracting. But no member

music. Still, he buys Il.

There are just as many ways of
! stopping a street car as there are of
skinning a cat" said an old Evanston
citizen as he stood at Wilson avenue
and saw his car flash by, according to
| the Chicago Chronicle. And | be-
lieve that there are thirty-nine ways
of slinning a cat" he continued as
he shook his fist at the conductor on
the disappearing car.
1t was an angry crowd that sur
rounded the old man. Some of them
had been standing on the corner for
| fifteen minutes. Others had been there
twenty minutes and some not so long.
Some had seen three cars pass without
stopping and some had seen only two.
We'll, just try one way, old man,
and pass up the other thirty-eight -
said one prospective passenger as he
saw another car bearing down upon
| them. The old man scratched his head
Then he beckoned to the driver of a
| coal wagon. Then the old man took
up a collection. Contribute freely,
gentlemen" said the exhorter. It's
for the good of the cause. and if you
| make it interesting enough 1 guaran-
| tee to stop the car"
The hat went around and the old
| man called to the driver of the coal
cart.
Gould you be induced to drive
| across the track?" asked the old man.
The driver looked at the glistening
coins and said he might.
"Wen, here comes a car. The
chances are that it will pass, but the
chances are that it won't if you drive
your wagon across the track. In the
first place. the cart is heavy. That is
a guarantee that the car won't pass.
In the second"
Hold on Do 1 get the money!" in
CURED the driver.
you do" was the answer, and the
cart was across the track when the
car was still a block away. The mo-
torman struck his gong, but the driver
stuck to his post. The motOrman saw
that he could have or avoid a collision
There was no collision. The car came
to a stop. The passengers got on
cheered the old man and threatened to
gag the conductor if he didn't stop his
swearing.

The oldest Joke.

Representative Lacey, of Iowa, claims
to have discovered the longest-beard-
ed joke ever recorded, says the Wash
ington Post. 1t may be a surprise to
a multitude of lawyers over the coun-
try that this bewhiskered lingerer is
the one about the attorney who APP
peared in court without his chief wit
ness.
why did you not bring your wit
nessas" demanded the judge, sternly.
Il have sixteen good reasons" re-
piled the lawyer. THE first is he is
dead"
You need not give the other fif-
teen," replied the court.
Mr.. Lacey says there Is hardly a
court in the country where that story
in some form cannot be heard, and
there are hoary old lawyers who will
say they were present when the quip
was originally perpetrated.
This last summer added Mr.. Lacey,
Il was reading the works of Suetonius,
the Latin historian. You can imagine
how keenly l was interested to read this
same joke there The historian puts
it on the Emperor Claudius. Whether
it was original with the Emperor Claud-
ius or whether it was handed down
to him by the Assyrians or some other
more ancient people l, of course, do
not undertake to saw"

CANADIANS TALKING TOO Mucn.

The Canadians have been showing
too much i'll temper over the decision
in the Alaskan boundary dispute. If
they could point out whereon the de-
cislon was wrong there would be some
justification for their buster ana
threats AS a matter of fact those
who have been saying the most as to
what Canada would do in the event
of another dispute between her and
the United States doubtless know very
little respecting the merits of the one
recently adjusted.
There is a part of the boundary that
is yet unadjusted, and some of the
Canadians are saying that Canada will
never permit England to act as arbi-
traitor for her when that part is to
be settled. No doubt the basis upon
which the part already adjusted was
settled will be the basis upon which
the remaining part will be settled. Any
way, il is evident that the British
premier regards the boundary contro-
versy as practically disposed of. In
his speech last Monday, on the ocGa-
sion of the celebration of the Kings
birthday, he said: The danger aris-
ing from the uncertain and disputed
frontiers in the Alaskan case between
the British Empire and the United
States has been decided for all time"
That ought to be sufficient to silence
the Canadians.
The remaining part of the boundary
will be adjusted without much trouble
The territory in dispute doesn't seem
found upon it. Hence it is hardly
probable that the Canadians will make
such an effort to have it settled in
accordance with their views as they
did in respect to the part that has
been ad iuSted.

BOOMING HANNA by MAIL.

Friends of Senator Hanna in Ohio
are said to be flooding the South with
literature favorable to the nomination
of the Senator for President. The lit
erature is being mailed from Cleveland
and Cincinnati, and consists largely of
newspaper clippings reciting and COM
menting on the services of Senator
Hanna to his party and his qualifi-
cations for the high office for which
1t is proposed he shall be nominated.
Accompanying the clippings are cir
culars setting forth that, while the
Senator has declared that he is not
q candidate for the nomination, no
when rendered by convention. II a
spontaneous and universal call from
the party should go up, Senator Han
ma would respond. That is the way
the mail boomers size up the situa-
ton, and they are busily engaged in
working UP the spontaneous and uni
versal call Of the party.
The boom circulars say. further, that
it is desirable that the Hanna move
ment shall have its beginning outside
Of Ohio. If the South will furnish
the boom, and start it off with a whoop
and the formation Of Hanna clubs,
Ohio will furnish the candidate. This
latter is one of Ohio's specialties, in
which she is never found wanting.
Thousands of the circulars have been
sent to Republican leaders, and es-
pecially to those who have a real or
fancied grievance against the admin
istration. Newspaper reports fail to
indicate who are the parties at the

The Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court of the state of New York
has fixed the legal value of kisses.
Miss Frances Petit, of Saratoga count
ty, had been keeping company" with
one Tittemore for a number of years,
during which time he had often kissed
her. After each kiss, or series of
kisses. Miss Petit would mark them
down in her memorandum book. FL
nally Tittemore Tilted her, and she
went to the court for redress. Her
score was then 1886 kisses, which she
valued at $4S each, making her bill
$4,000. The court decided that the
price was excessive and awarded her
$4,000, thus establishing the legal value
of a kiss at $2.37. And yet the best
are those which have no price.

respect to state Republican organiza-

local conditions in the several states
and that they have a campaign fund.

Leaders of that faction are said to

An amusing and yet tragic story of
a Spanish American revolution was
told in a New York court the other
day, in the course of a suit to recover
a sum of money paid for guns. When
Castro of Venezuela had unseated An
drade and driven him out of the capi-
tai, two years ago, Andrade's agents
purchased a number of guns and a
lot of ammunition from New York
man. With these equipments they
went after Castros troops in the hone
of turning him out and recovering their
position. But when they get in the
field and in a position to fight, the
Andrade partisans found that half of
their guns wouldn't work, and that
the cartridges would not fit the guns.
Thus both guns and ammunition were
worthless, and the Andradeites had to
run to save their skins. And thus the
movement collapsed. The guns and
ammunition, il seems, were made to
sell, not to fight with.
