No Diner Out.

Miss Graham gave the tramp
some food in response to his NOV
ing appeal, and stood at the kitchen
door to make sure that he ate the
bread and cold boiled potatoes and
did not throw one crumb away.
"You have very awkward way of
eating" she said severely, us the
knife she had lent him seemed to
vanish for a moment down the
mans throat and on it's way back
to the light performed strange evo-
lutions.

he made another onslaught on the

AMONG THE KAFFIRs.
Sruntina Seems TO se the Favorito
Way Of Expressing Sentiment.

sruntina Seems TO se the Favorito
Way Of Expressing Sentiment.
The amountof greeting among or
dinary katiirs is to say Il see you,"
to which answer comes back, "Yes."
When native passes European
n the uncivilized parts of the coun-
try, says NJ. Dudley Kidd in tsThe
Essential Kaffir," he will frequently
anticipate the white mans :sI see
you," and will start off with a loud
"Yes."
Of all ways of expressing senti-
ment, grunting is the favorite, and
the Kaffir grunts with great elo-
quence. His simple grunt can ex-
press whole world of sentiment.
After hearing natives express SO
much by grunting one cannot avoid
thinking that pigs might learn to
speak.
Kaffirs have many very expressive
exclamations, such es "Yow when
they wish to show contempt;
'Hau!" when they show surprise
"Wowp and many other similar ut
terances.
In visiting chief it is rude to
speak first. Accordingly, when we
visited Kaffir king, we sat in silence
and pretented not to see him. At
length he looked up at US and said,
81 see you," and the ice was broken.
We grunted approval of the senti-
ment and said the proper things.
When the questions began to. be a
little too personal we told our ma
tive servant to fetch the blanket
we had brought with us in order to
open the chiefs eyes.
When we gave the chief the blan-
ket he looked at it and gave grunt
which was one of moderate and
guarded approval. He felt the quail
tiles Of the blanket with his fingers,
placed it to his skin to see how warm
it would be; he then showed it to
his councillors and asked them blunt.
" what they supposed it had cost.
When he was satisfied that it was
better than any kept BY local trad
'ers, he gave, another grunt Of ap-
proval which plainly said, Thanks; !;
l think that on the whole it is not
bad; I have seen better, but it will
do all the same"
Then he said in words, ''Now my
eyes are open and / can see you.'' In
fun I began to chaH him and said,
"Well, # you can see us now, will
you tell us what yon can see?"
Swift as light came the answer, 81
shall know what I see when the
night is cold and I wrap the blanket
about my body"
A native never commits himself if
he can possibly help it. After lit
tie more desultory conversation the
chief thought it was time to end the
indaba, s'to hem up the fringes Of
the talk with the thread made from
the sinew of an OK" as their express.
i've phrase runs. So we hemmed
it up.

How, Indeed?

Johnny's mother was the biggest
talker in the square, and Johnny
knew it. The other day the little
fellow went over to the home Of his
best friend next door to play, in
spite of his mothers warning not
to leave the steps Of his own home.
His father brought him home.
"John," he said, didn't you hear
your mother tell you to stay at home
this EVENING""
Johnny squirmed and then ad-
mitted:
Yes, but she says SO much! How
was to know?"- -Pittsburg Gazette.

NEGRO AT WHITE HOUSE
SAID TO HAVE EN-
 RETAINED ONE.
Scott of Kansas Justifies the Dining of Washington by Roosevelt by Citing Precedent in Case
 of Q Democrat.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-During cons d. eration of the District of Columbia pill in the House today. Mir. Scott (Kas.J. made the assertion that a negro had dined at the White House with Presi- dent Cleveland during the latter's first administration. The statement was prompted by a reference by Mir. GilbeI (FSy.). to the dining of Booker Washing ton at the White House. When the name was demanded. Mir. Scott said 1t was .. H. J. Taylor. who was appointed oy President Cleveland as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia.
 MT. Gilbert observed that he and oth- CTS had never heard of the incident. but the Democrats were not particularly iy claiming Mfr. Cleveland. and Mir. Coch- ran (Mo.) said It was but cumulative evidence that there is no better RepUO- lican in the country than Grover Cleve- land" Mir Scott. in contrasting Booker Washington with Taylor, said the former was a man of recognized ability, while he declared there was nothing to com mend the latter.
 A discussion of the question of recip- rocity by Mir. Dalzell (Pa.), and Mir. Wil- Hams. the minority leader, consumed the greater portion of the day. Another fca- ture of the day was the declaration uy Mir. Lowering (Mass.). that while the Republican Party was taikinN about standing pat thousands of dollars were being lost to manufacturers and that tour

ALLEGATIONS WIDE
NEW ORLEANS MARKETS SEN.
 SATIoNAL ACTIONS
Only the Sohdly Bullish situation Prevents Wide Breaks When .. Traders Commence to .
 Realize Profits.

New Orleans, Feb. 2s.-Today,s session in the cotton market was a wild reyeiry of speculations. Prices nuctuatsd evi, dentiy within a wide range of prices, and to those who were watching the course of the market from the outside it looked as if trade was being carried on without rhyme or reason.
 In the morning room traders enthusias- ueally brought the market to standstill and in the afternoon after having taken profits on their purchases. these same traders showed just as much enthusiasm In selling the market to standstll. If the statistical position of the staple had not been 50 strong and had not been used with such good effect by cool and wise heads, violent and wide breaks would probably have been seen. As it was break of I-4c came early in the afternoon as result of operations of plungers, but spots were so strong and the general situation so solidly bullish that recov- cry followed and prices closed 60 to Sl points higher than the close Of Saturday in March. May and July.
 At the opening the tone was called steady and prices were from to 63 points higher than the close of Saturday The better openings was caused by surprts- inRIv good Liverpool cables. which hod their effect on local trading until the close of the day.

MT. Williams (Miss.) responding to -Mr DalzeI asked the majority why they did not pass the Kasson treaties. which he said repr esented Mckinley reciprocity.
 Mir. Lowering ,Mass.) aroused the mi nority to applause when he declared thIt while we are talking about standing pat, the great ship Of prosperity is drift Ing on the rocks and our boasted pros perity is fast coming to an end.
 MT. Lowering pretaced this by saying that millions of dollars had been lost to manufacturers and thousands of laborers had been deprived of work because the Government had not enlarged the draw back system. The remedy, he said, was easy.
 The relief demanded, he declared. codid be secured by simple amendment to the drawback feature of the administra- tive act of the Dingley law and tais could be done. he said, without interfcr- ing with a single schedule or in any wIse revising the tariff. He differed, he said, from MT Dalzell in the matter of Ge- mand for now markets for goods of American manufacture. The manufactdr- CTS wanted an outlet for their surplus products and the demand for the new markets caused them to realize that pro- duction had passed beyond domestic con- sumption.
 He urged the South to increase the out put of cotton and said immigration Was needed badly in the South. These things, he said would aid materially in solving the race question.

 Mir. Gilbert spoke after Mrs McCleay CAIinn.) had explained the provisions Of the District of Columbia bill. Mir. Gii- bert addressed his remarks to a history of the Republican Party. proposing to show what the party is for and for what 1t stands. Continuing, MT. Gilbert said that in the Spanish war there was Gen eral Miles commanding general of the army; Admiral Dewey at Manila, Admiral Schley, Generals Lee, Wheeler and Bell, all of whom were Democrats. On the other side. he said, there was a member of the Republican Cabinet accused of sending embalmed beef to the soldiers
 Then" he said. there was a RepGS- lican horse doctor sent to Cuba who was accused of befriendlng the gamblers and law breakers"
 He referred to the conviction of Rath- bone and Nicely and alluded to General Funston who he charged had violated the rules of civilized warfare in wearing the uniform of an enemy in the capture of Aguinaldo. He next referred to Gen eral Davis who" he said, 'sold rice and other provisions to starving natives at enormous profits
 The Republicans had promised to de- stroy trusts, declared Mir Gilbert. oLt they now have bill in the Senate 'mak- ing lawful all reasonable trusts and re- peaiing the Imprisonment clause of the sherman law as to criminals"
 MT. Delzell (Pa.) discussing Canadian reciprocity. said he had been unable to md. after exhaustive search. a single ar gument which would justify the negotia- tons of reciprocity between the United States and Csnada. He was frequently appiauded on the Republican side.

eS points higher than Saturdays close. Protit-taking by longs and hammering by scalpers who were looking for down. ward turn caused a violent break of a quarter of a cent.
 Prices buoyantly rose again and the closing was within four or five points of the best prices of the day. The leading bulls are said to have been enormous buy- CTS through brokers during the last two days and 1t is supposed that the myste- rious buying power that the market pos sessed today came chiefly from them. As 1t is, in spite of the opening hammering that was indulged In, those who were looking for p=ohts on the short side were disappointed.
 The advance in futures was on legiu- mate basis. as spots were advanced 5-Sc on sales of 5450 bales, and a prominent trader said tonight that just so long as such advances and trading were seen in spots buying orders would come from interests who regarded the general situation as being the strongest for higher prices that the market has seen for long time. Prices on the curb were 3 to points higher than the closing level.
