Why He wouldn't Aid Her.

Representative Clayton of Alabama
has brother-in-law, Capt. Wiley Will
Jams, who is chief of police of Column
bus, Ca, and he says that Williams
recently told him about woman who
applied to him to use his every effort
to get a delinquent" sweetheart to
marry her.
Il cannot assist you,'' said Chief
Williams. "It is beyond the power of
my Office to make the fellow marry
YOU"
Cant you?" urged the woman.
1T is out of the question:

told me you could"

scented the powers of my Office"

A comrade true and a sweetheart,

Mr.. Joseph Nj. McGlnnis was tor union

He favored larger wages and some
what shorter day.

And when the delegate said 'Strike!

He did the shopping for his wife, be-
cause he liked to know
That naught save union articles wer.,
purchased with his dough-
Has it got the union LABEL"
McGinnis used to say;
Has it cot the union label?"
Show it to me If you're able,
Ii it hasn't got the label
Take the blooming thing away."
Now Joseph NJ. McGinnis was a mar
of good repute
Who went to church Oh Sunday in his
union tailored suit,
Like many another union man, he liv-
ed blameless life.
And when he died the neighbors saiG:
THE blow will kill his wife,
He reached the Pearly gates on time

''Welcome.' was Peters greeting, -.

McGinnis had to say;

1t is no longer proper to teach your

title Mother" 1t may be hard to
eliminate the sweetest word from the

1t may detract from your dignity to
allow the little ones to address you

people may tempt you to go out of the

d. Nj. Parry of Indianapolis, the hyp-
ocrite who is drawing a big salary
from the manufacturers for screechina
for the open shop bugabCo, and who
appears on the American farcial stag
as the only great 90 union smasher,
has again tipped his hat to Typogra
phical Union. In establishing a news
paper in Indianapolis 70 fight the
unions he could not get any rat print
ers to print the sheet according to
his story and consequently sent the
work to be done by members of the

My son Julian furnishes me with
this account of curious manner OF
fishing which he saw in Jamaica:
after spending even SO short a
time as one month in the tropics, one
can readily understand the possibility
of such a strange-to us-perform-
ance as that Mr.. Charles Kellogg and
I witnessed one night in Kingston
harbor. We were idly lounging about
the wharf of the United Fruit COM
pany, waiting for the Admiral Samp-
son to take us back to Philadelphia,
our cameras, with every plate ex-
posed. having been stored away with
our baggage. Otherwise we might
have gotten some kind of a picture,
even in the failing light, of the strange
scene before us. Two negro fisher
men had put out their net, as the
great circle of buoys or floats indi-
Gated, and had stationed themselves
at one side with their boat All would
be quiet for a few moments until sud
denly, with great shouting, which
was taken up by crowd OF coolies in
shore, the two negroes would rap loud
ly with their paddles on the side of
the boat. Instantly mullets would
flash out of the green water, trying
to jump over the boat into the water
beyond both boat and net. They
jumped out of the water six feet or so
cleared everything had it not been for
net which was hung on poles like a
fence. and which invariably threw the
mullets back into the bottom of the
boat. This was repeated over and
over until the catch numbered dozens,
from two to six or seven being caught
each time the pounding and shouting
was resorted to. Certainly nothing
could be done more characteristic of
the tropics than such a performance,
yet our friends at home have always
called it a fish story. The mullets are
a silver fish. about the size of herring,
except that they are rounder, being in
shape like our chubbs. They were
great jumpers. When We drew seine
for alligators in the Salt ponds at
Port Henderson the mullets jumped
all over the net, in and out just for
the fun of it, apparently. Great num-
bers of them are caught with dyna-
mite by simply printing it and throw
ing it into the water, when the silly
mullets at once dart up and swim
around and around until the dynamite
eXplodes and kills them all. At Port
Henderson l threw stones from the
dock, when in the clear water I could
see the mullets appear as if by magic,
darting about the stone in whirling
circle. How such habit originated it
is hard to imagine.
'At any rate, it made a beautiful
picture, the green water below fash
ing forth the silver fish, the old dug
out, with it's half naked, muscular ne
groes, the coolies in their flowing
robes of every color on shore, the
cocoanuts of barbaric splendor rising
against the Blue mountains that in
turn rose into the very clouds. John

New plants for America.

Thomas H. Kearney of the bureau
OF plant industry, United States de-
partment of agriculture, has been au-
thorized to proceed to North Africa
and other Mediterranean coast regions
for the purpose of securing new seeds
and plants adapted to the southwest.
A special study will be made of the
date and new introductions of this
fruit will be undertaken. Alkali-re-
sistant forage crops will be studied
also, and the introduction of seeds OF
new and promising kinds will be made.
MI. Kearney will remain abroad until
next spring.

Representative British Statesman.

Lord Lansdowne, who at a recent
Guildhall dinner in London made a
notable plea for universal arbitration,
has been in the British cabinet con-
tinuously since 1895. He is noted for
precise, formal manners and for in
cisiveness of speech. A smile rarely
passes across his thin face, which is
scarcely ever ruff1ed by any lively
emotion. his lordship having carefully
schooled himself in the art of con-
cealing his thoughts and keeping i'm
passive countenance while discussing
weighty matters with foreign ambas-

About Women.

The Girl Who Works is the
crown princess of An~rican
life.
It is awfully hard for a girl
to be sweet to a man whose
feet are sour.
Many girl goes to the odd.
cent store so as to have a pen
ny to wear in her shoe.
Some girls have such sweet
lips that they miserably tempt
meu when they pucker to
whistle.
Pads have gotten so popular
in high society that the padded
volumes of poetry are coming
;uto favor again.
Flirting with a married man
away from home is just about
the next biggest fool thing that
a girl can do.
To tell a young aud attract
i've girl that she is sweet and
pretty may be be a waste OF
words-vet it is at least a nice
amusement for a young man.
If a woman is proud of her
beauty she is not much.
Neatness and cleanliness
make the plaiuest woman look

The whittier the woman the
better does she look in black.
There are women who can
wait dinner a little while with
out getting mad.
Womankind used to be NOR.

wear the watch riveted in her

the organized assemblage OF

can be done. Systematic2eff ort

from the OzArks to the, 10 wa

way. The chief officers of
cities, towns, counties, COM

cations should heartily coop.
