Tipping At the Waldorf.

that of the waiter in a swell hotel

Wise old Farmer.

The story of the old farmer who was
once invited to take tea with for
mer Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch is
still remembered at Drumlahrig Cas-
tie, on the Dumfriesshire estate of the
Duke, says the Scottish American. His
first cup of tea was gone almost before
the Duchess had finished pouring it out,
and John passed his cup again. Again
and again and still again the cup was
passed to the head of the table, when
the Duchess, alarmed at the sixteenth
cup, asked: How many cups do you
take, John?" The old farmer was wise
in his day. How mony do we gie?'
he asked.

every ingenious device have been sent

He paused and looked hard at the

Whats that?"
Just what l said. I suddenly move

tall man modestly replied 1T seems
a little hard, and yet. in confidence,

.r,yo pictures At Once

A well known landscape painter was
busy "dashing in" the colors Of sun
set, says NJ. A. P. The tints were hur-
riedly conveyed from tube to palette,
and from palette to canvas, for the
artist was anxious to catch the effect.
A rustic standing by observed the
operation for a little while, and then
remarked: "Ah, you be a-painting two
pictures at once. That's clever" He
paused moment, and then blurted
out: Il like that picture best-the one
you've got your thumb through"

sETrLrNG THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

1t seems that there is a movement
to settle the negro problem by getting
negroes to emigrate to the North Pa
cifc states. 1t is mentioned in a St.
Paul (Minn) dispatch that the Rev
]. +. Davidson passed through that
city one day last week bound for the
state of Washington, having with him
quite number of negroes from New
Orleans. He had secured land in Wash
ington, and it was his purpose to make
farmers of the negroes. 1t was stated
in the dispatch that this man David
son is a citizen of Tacoma, and that
he has a scheme to gather up the bet
ter class of negroes in the South and
make farmers of them in the North Pa
cific states. 1t seems that the move
ment has already been inaugurated in
this state, Alabama and Mississippi
at least so the dispatch says.
1t win be found probably that the
negroes are wanted in the Northwest
as laborers, and that the chance OF
their becoming farmers there isn't as
good as it is here in the South. If

ers they could get all the land they
want here in Georgia, and in every
one of the other Southern states.
AS a matter of fact. only few of
them want to become farmers. This
city. for instance, is full Of idle ne
grocs, and there are thousands of acres
of land in sight of the city waiting to
be cultivated. If the negroes were
thrifty and were capable of getting
ahead in the world they would get
hold Of this land and make themselves
homes upon Il. They would turn Il

Joseph Jefferson's granddaughter,
Miss Sarah Jefferson, is deservedly a
heroine at Buzzard's Bay. Some weeks
ago the wife of the family coachman
was badly burned, and skin grating
was found necessary to save her life.
Without telling anyone of her purpose
Miss Jefferson went TO the hospital
where the woman was being treated
and offered to supply the needed cuti-
Gle. The offer was accepted, and sew
eral long strips of skin were removed
from her. body. The grating proved
successful, and the coachman's wife
will soon be discharged cured. Miss
Jefferson suffered much pain and was
confined to her bed for two weeks.
Her sacrifice for the coachman's wife,
is, naturally, the subject Of much
lauditory comment

attempt to do anything of the kind is
pretty good evidence that they haven't
the qualities necessary to make farm
ers. Those negroes who go to the
North Pacific states on the invitation
of the Rev. Mr.. Davidson will find
probably that they are wanted there
as laborers.

bridge or the construction of a new
bridge between Waterloo and Black

king Edward and Queen Alexandra
during their recent visit to Ireland
were shown at Maynooth College a
silver statuette of st. George and the
dragon and rich church vestments pre-
sented to the college by the late EN-
press of Austria. There is a curious
story regarding the presentation IN
question. Caught in heavy rain one
day while hunting in Kildare, the EN-
press sought refuge at Maynooth. and
grateful for her kindly reception there,
president having wrapped her in his
own zimarra while her drenched gar
ments were drying, began to think how
TO requite the hospitality she had re-
ceived. Her gratitude took the form
of silver statuette, which duly reach
ed the college authorities Great, how
ever, was their CONSERVATION when it
turned out to be a statue of the pa
iron saint of England. What was St.
George to Maynooth, or Maynooth to
st. George? The poor saint was
promptly bundled into a cupboard,
whence he was extracted the other
day for the inspection Of England's
King. The Empress. appraised of the
mistake she had made. considered how
to make amends. and the vestments.

The Story OF Il Bone.

About twenty years go there was
malpractice case tried in this cour,
against Bangor phys clan. He per
formed a surgical oper@ ton on a pa
tient and removed 4 pi zee of diseased
bone, an this was the subject of the
suit. You know, in su Oh cases, if the
patient doesn't recover as quickly as
he thinks he ought to he becomes an
impatient and goes for the doctor with
a lawsuit There was big fight in
that case, with lots of witnesses, and
the bone came in with the rest of the
evidence. It smelled worse than a
slaughter-house in midsummer when
it came into court, and it gathered adj
ditional smell constantly aftelwarG.
The jury disagreed or there was a new
trial granted, SO that the case hung
fire from April to October, and the
clerk was directed to preserve the all
important bone by locking it in the
office safe. Both parties tried to get
it but the court would not surrender it.
It generated such odors while in GUS
tody that it nearly drove us out of the
office altogether, and if you want to
realize all about ''the scent of the
roses" that still remains here after all
these years, although we have done
everything to get rid of it, just put
your head into that safe.-Lewistou
