BAD FOR BOYS.

A rat of boy who had in vain
searched the postoffice corridors for a
nickel which careless hand occasion
ally drops at the stamp clerks win
dow, recently took his position before
a chestnut stand on Griswood street
and eyed the fresh nuts a long time
h. fore drawing deep sigh and groan-
l'g:
"Oh, l wish l was rich!'
The chestnut roaster made no re-
ply, and tie odor Of the roasting nuts
finally induced the boy to in
quire:
care chestnuts healthy
"No. bub-they are prolific of in
Digestion" was the reply.
After a while the boy thought it
was time to remark:
.Did you ever hear the story of the
man who gave poor boy handful
of chestnuts, and when the boy grew
up and got rich he rewarded the old
man with diamond pin and four
horse team?"
"No, never did, but heard of the
man who brought poor boy to the
edge of the grave by giving him a
dozen chesnuts.'
The lad took a turn up and down,
secured another strong sniff OF the
pleasant td,r, ard then leaned over
and whispered:
eff I'll take the chances on the
edge Of the grave business will you
take the chancas Of the chestnuts?
The vender finally thong t he
would.

Justice Brewer is from Kansas, and his
state is justiiably proud of him, says the
Kansas City journal. Soon after his ele-
vation to the supreme bench a cigar manu-
facturer in Topeka dedicated ten-cent
domestic cigar to the jurist, named it
Our Justice" and on the cover of each
box pasted a portrait of Mr.. Brewer.
few years ago the justice was in To-
peka on a business trip. The hotel clerk
recognized him, and the negro bell boy, al
though he had no idea who the newcomer
was, knew from the way he was ordered
about that the patron was of some conse-
quence. Going up in the elevator the negro
stared constantly at the tall, dignifed man.
Suddenly the black face was wreathed
in smiles, and the boy said:
Scuse me, boss, but amt you de gem
men dat invented dem 'Ouah Jestice' ci-
gars|
This reminds one of the man who was
recalling famous persons who parted their
names in the middle"
And then he said, ''there is 'E Pluri-

THE accusation against the Japan

same explosives as other armies and

generates fumes from which the men
