Helped Get washIngton's Dinner.

Frank Mitchell is one Of the Oldest
residents of the United States. He
came to Akron. O.. forty years ago
from Alabama, where he lived on the
estate Of Nathaniel Pride.
Mr.. Mitchell claims TO be los years OF
age. Those who know him best say
that he looked nearly as old when he
came TO Akron as he does today.
When Mr.. Mitchell was just a lad
upon the old plantation he we'll remem-
bers he trip Of George Washington
through the south and how his master
expected that the general would pay
visit to his plantation when he came
that way.
A big dinner was to be spread. and
in the preparation of this dinner Frank
Mitchell assisted. One of the tooth
some morsels consisted Of chicken pie,
upon which the lad looked with Very
wistful eye.
But George Washington passed over
another route. and the visit to the
plantation was not made. Mitchell
therefore had the pleasure of eating a
piece of the chicken pie which had been
prepared for the great general.-Cleve-

Grams. Through streets brilliantly dee
GRATED, between ranks of spectators
who cheered waved banners. applauded
in every possible way, sought TO show
them honor, the veterans marched for
hours. From huge grandstands, from
the windows and roofs Of buildings.
from wagons, came the volume of ac-
claim. School children sang and ban
ners and notices spoke their greeting.
To all these the veterans responded
with lifted hat or dignihed salute.
At the state house the parade was
reviewed by Governor Bates, with Gov
ernor VanSant, of Minnesota, and sew
eral former Massachusetts governors,
Senator Lodge and Booker Il. Wash

with former mayors and the mayors OF

The diocese of Kiawatin, in Ru-
pert's Land, is one of magnificent dis
tances. Bishop dollhouse once walk ID
200 miles to fetch doctor for his wife.
Many of the Indians walk twenty-five
miles to church, and the bishop has bap-
tized scores of babies which had been
carried $50 miles on their mothers backs
over hard-frozen snow. At night the
family sleep, wrapped in their deer
skins, on branches laid upon the snow.
The largest hotel in the world is
the Waldorf Astoria, New York, which
contains $500 rooms, with $40 distinct
suites above ground. There are near
ly 200 miles of piping concealed with
in its walls and floors and extending
below the surface. Running ice water
is available in every suite, which also
contains complete refrigerating box.
There are $4,000 electric lights. An
apartment may be rented for 5000 or as
high as $4,000 year. The tenant may
keep house and have his own servants.

lows should be conspicueusly painted

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.)
says: by all means let Quay through
his man Penrose, manage the Repub-
lican campaign this year. With Quay
as his Right Bower and Addicks as his
Left, it might not be necessary for
good Mr.. Roosevelt to issue didactic
dissertation on the beauty and duty
of decency and morality in public life
oftener than once a week"
The Columbia Is. Co State Dem. }
says: THE President, it is said, has
granted permission to Senator Fair
banks Of Indiana to aspire to vice
presidential honors. There perishes the
chances of the distinguished Booker
Washington. We think it only proper
that a delegation of negroes should en-
quire of Mr.. Roosevelt his reasons
for ignoring colored mans claim to
the honor; why has he thus closed the
door of hope?"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem }
says: 1T is understood that the Re
publican party is about to nominate
Mr.. Roosevelt to succeed himself with
many misgivings, at least on the part
of its leaders. The power of patron
age vested in his office will enable him
to dictate his own nomination, and
thoroughgoing Republicans will not re-
fuse to support a regular party noml-
nee. But a strictly party vote will
not be enough to elect him II he Is
opposed by a united Democracy The
result viii probably be determined by
the independent vote. and the Demo-
Gratis will not be wise IL they do not
endeavor to secure il by nominating
statesman whose character and rec
ord will give assurance, In the event
OF his election. OF a conservative and
safe administration. What the coun-
try needs is not political experimental
ton or aggressive diplomacy but sim
ply normal and peaceful developm ant
under the protection OF equal laws.
But the Democratic candidate. n he
ie 90 win, must BE- a man OF pronounced
and positive convictions. and be must
have given proof by actual public serv-
Ice Of his administrative ability"

Attorney Peyton, one of the most
successful lawyers practicing in the
Police Court, is always dealing in fine
legal distinctions. and has won a num-
Der of cases because of the technical
points involved, says the Washington
Times. One thing which he is always
particularly DESTROYS of ascertaining
is just how many drinks the complain
ing witness had before the trouble.
A complaining witness was recently
on the stand, and the usual question,
Now, how many drinks had you TAX
en?" was asked.
Il had two beers in Dugan's' replied
the witness.
Next ?" asked Peyton.
I'VE had a couple of glasses of gin
in Mulligan's."
"Next?"
I'VE had four short whiskies in
Mack's."
well, what did you have next %
asked Peyton.
