"a Letter of Credit,

81 had to engage an Office boy to-
day." said lawyer to mis- wife, at the
dinner table, according to the New
York Tribune. 81 had about twenty
applicants, and finally 1 sifted the
good references and seemed equally
bright"
And what helped you to decision?"
queried his wife.
1T was quite difficult" answered her
husband. "One boy was better look
ing than the other, and 1 naturally
would have taken him. but he kept
his hat on his head, and the other
one took his off and held it in his
hand. That decided me-"
Good manners are an asset that
should be more recognized as an i'm
portant factor in a boys education.
They should not be considered merely
as the social polish of a class, but an
effort should be made in the public
schools to teach good manners as a
part of the school curriculum. Not
long ago young Yale graduate, who
was eminently fitted for the post in
every way except one,f was recon-
mended as tutor to a youth whose fam
lily We're going abroad for the summer.
Come to US for a fortnight" said the
father of the boy, pleased with the
tutors appearance and requirements,
land we will have a try all around TO
see if we will suit each other"
The young man, on his part, was
delighted with the place, and could not
understand why the engagement was
not contaminated. The real reason
was that he, poor fellow, was not suffi-
GENTLY versed in the usages Of good
society. He had never been taught
that a man should stand If woman
was not seated; that he should open
the door for her if she left the room,
and other little essentials, all betoken-
ing to Mrs. X-that he lacked the hall
marks of good breeding, and was not,
therefore, the proper person to take
charge of her sons education.
In the lower ranks of life good man
ners are even more essential. A GER

ally the details of her large estab-
hshment, had occasion to engage a
new footman, and received the APP
plicants herself to judge of their capa-
bilities. She placed herself in chair
in the middle of a square rug and
received their credentials. Several
men were admitted, and each one
walked boldly on the rug to hand her
his testimonials, and was rejected. Fin
ally, an ideal footman appeared, his
appearance and manners were per-
feet and what confirmed her in her
good opinion of his merits above every
thing was that he never once stepped
on the rug, but handed her his refer
ences, bending stiff1y from the par
quet floor over the intervening carpet
which he did not presume to set foot
upon. "And he certainly was splen-
did servant" said Mrs. X, who was
telling of her test. ITO be sure" she
continued, she did abscond after a
while with some money 1 had given
him to pay bills with, but he was very
satisfactory while he lasted"

A QUEER QUESTION.

The New York Commercial wants
TO know why Mr.. Cleveland took so
much trouble to deny the story that
C. H. j. Taylor, a colored man, took
luncheon with him at the white House.
1t says: WIN should he care if such
a story got afloat? 1t is true it might
damage him in the estimation of South
ern Democrats, but as he has pub
Ideally eliminated himself from the
list of candidates for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency, such
a thing should give him no concern.
Now if he were quietly holding up a
rod in secret expectation that the
Democratic presidential lightning
might strike him, his indignant denial
could be readily understood, but as
he has given his word for it that he is
doing nothing of the kind, his action
is inexplicable. The foregoing is an
effort to say something without hav-
ing anything on which to base it. In
the first place, Mr.. Cleveland didn't
had dined colored man at the White
House until a member of the House
sent him the Congressional Record con-
tanning it, and asked him to make a
reply to It. His reply was read on
the floor of the House so that il could
go into the Record, along with the
statement. 1t is probable that he
wouldn't have made the denial if he
had not been asked as to the truth
of the statement.
But why should such an unfounded
statement as that which he denied be
allowed to go uncontradicted? Why
should Mr.. Cleveland quietly permit
himself to be used to excuse some
thing which President Roosevelt had
done, and for which the latter had
| been very generally criticised? Evil
IDENTIFY the Commercial is a Republican
organ, and is disgruntled because the
effort to use MIR. Cleveland to shield
Mr.. Roosevelt failed. Judging from
what it says it would not have con-
tradicted the story which Mr.. Cleve-
land denied II it had known the truth,
! but would have let it stand simply to
show that a Democratic President had
done exactly the thing for which a
Republican President had been criti-
cised. Mr.. Cleveland took the right
course in refusing to be a party TO
an unfounded report, put out for a
political purpose. IL is regrettable that
so reputable paper as the Commercial
did not commend him for denying II

HEARST AND BRYAN,

Recently, in a number of papers, 1t
has been intinated that it is Mr..
Bryan's intention to support Mr..
Hearst for the nomination for Presi-
dent. AS far as we have been inform
ed Mr.. Bryan hasn't announced his
purpose to do so. Certainly nothing
has appeared in his paper, The Com
moner. that would justify the conclu-
sion that he favors the nomination of
Mr.. Hearst.
While it is true that Mr.. Bryan
seems to. be in closer sympathy with
views expressed in Mr.. Hearst's papers
than with the views of any other one
Of the candidates for the nomination,
he is not entirely in harmony with Mr..
Hearst's position on public questions.
lie seems to be more anxious to have
the Kansas City platform reaffirmed
than he is to bring about the nominal
tion of any particular candidate.
The reaffirmation of that platform
would accomplish two things of
special interest to him. 1t would be a
vindication of him for insisting upon
the Silver plank in the Kansas City
platform and it would prevent the
nomination for President of anyone
who did not give him a hearty support
in 1896 and 1900. He is bending his
whole efforts therefore to the work of
securing a reaffirmation of the Kan
sas City platform.
Mr.. Hearst is depending for support
on his own efforts in behalf of labor
and his assaults upon trusts. If we
are not mistaken he isn't an advocate
of a reaffirmation of the Kansas City
platform in its entirety.
If. however, Mr.. Bryan intends to
support Mr.. Hearst for the nominal
ton the fact will doubtless be made
known in the near future. AS Mr..
Bryan is quite frank in declaring his
position in public matters it would not
be surprising if he should state in his
own paper at an early day whether OF
not il is his purpose to use his in
fiuence in favor of the nomination OF
Mr. Hearst He would cause no sur
prise by supporting him.

An old history of Galloway county
tells of an early citizen of that coun-
ty who was distinguished for his tai
ents as a spinner of yarns, says the
Fulton (Mo.) Sun. His name was Azel
Barnes, and he was a blacksmith. One
of Barnes stories was that he once
made a scythe seven feet in length
beat it out on his anvil. Then he put
a handle on it and cut seven acres
of grass in one day without whetting
or grinding the blade. AS he was
going home that evening he saw a
sheepskin lying on a pond of water
the wool side up, and with one sweep
of his scythe he shaved the wool off
clean without making a ripple on the
water. He raised five acres of corn
one summer, and when it was nearly
ripe a very large turkey gobbler Che
must have been very large indeed)
stood on the outside of the fence and
picked off nearly all the ears. He aft
erward killed the gobbler, and he
weighed $50 pounds to the quarter, or
600 pounds in all, and yielded twenty
nine pounds of good feathers.

Springfield. o., is a city of some 49,
900 inhabitants. 1t was the home
of Abraham Lincoln. If there is any
place in the North, or in Ohio, that
one would expect to find the highest
regard for the negro, that place would
seem to be Springfield, o. And yet
we see that the negro accused of crime
in that city is no safer than he would
be in an isolated district of the black
belt of the South. The people of
Springfield were just as eager to lynch
the black man, Dixon, as ever was

Washington Stories.

Wall street men have been laying
various plots to secure advance in
formation on the Northern Securities
merger decision by the United States
Supreme Court, says the Washington
correspondence of the Philadelphia
Record. A big Chicago firm of stock
brokers has been especially anxious
and last week wrote to their CORE
spondent here as follows:
You must get US that decision. As
soon as the judge starts to read it
and before he reaches the final state
ment of the decision, the judges on the
bench would doubtless feel relieved
from secrecy. You might skip up to
the bench and ask one of the judges
what's doing and give us a tip"
- 'Fine!'' replied the correspondent.
Great! and, when they throw me in
the bastile for contempt of the court
l suppose you will fix with Divine
Providence, the only place left to APP
peal, to get me out"

ator Pettus, IF all the poker players

on that account there wouldn't be
