Celebrating a Birth day.

Judge D. Cady Herriek is a good
story teller, says the New York Globe
He told one while at the Holland
House a few days ago Of an Irish gar
dener who is in thesemploy of friend
Pat had not been long in this .coun-
try" said the judge, sbefore he secured
employment at his trade on an estate
owned by friend of mine in Rhode Is
land. A few weeks ago Pat was found
drunk by his employer, and propped
up against the stable door.
Have you any excuse to make,
asked my friend, for being in this dis
graceful condition.
They told me it was your birthday
soir,' replied Pat.
What has that got to do with It?
inquired my friend, I don't see the
connection
"'Shure, said Pat, ID you suppose
I'd disgrace mesilf by not gettin' drunk
on your birthday, ,soir?'
But you've been drunk for a
week
"'Shure, Pat said, I was making ur
for the swim years I didn't serve yer
soir.'
Pat got off Not guilty, but don't
do it again. was the verdict.

The Galveston News (Dem.) says: "It
seems that demagogues in the public
Offices are chiefly responsible for the
trouble in Colorado. They have led
some of the ignorant miners to mag

The New York Post (Ind.) says: The
Savannah News has observed that
Western supporters of Roosevelt are
apathetic. though that hardly seems
to be the right word of description in
connection with the trouble in Wiscon-
sin. where, it is truthfully declared, a
good deal of harmony will be required

SNORING IN CHuRCH.

Magistrate Crane of New York city
has legally established the right OF men
to snore in church. The sexton of
New York church had found a young
man snoring on the organ bellows, dur
ing services. and had carried him into
duct. Magistrate Crane discharged
the young man. THAT is God-given
privilege, sir, TO snore," he told the
sexton. Il have no jurisdiction to
interfere with human nature. wish
to say to you. in all kindness, that ar
resting this young man was most un-
charitable. He was not breaking any
law" The young man had explained
that he was very tired and needed the
rest he was taking when his snoring
aroused the ire of the sexton.
Mapping in church is tiIne-honored
custom. 1t was known even in the
times of Praise God Barebones. when
constables patroiled the streets and
rounded up all of the citizens in the
Westinghouse whether they wanted
to go or not. Nor in the Puritan days
was 1t exceptionally rare to hear a
sonorous snore start from the depths
of a high-back pew and finally rattle
among the rafters. True, such ungod-
dnstead Of the nose) of the offender
the stern rebuke of the pulpit. and the
poor fellow who had snatched forty
winks between "fourthly" and sixth
ly" looked red-faced and ashamed. 1t
is told that Cotton Mather hurled a
terrible malediction against a drowsy-
headed fellow in his congregation who
found more pleasure in wandering
through the fiowery meadows OF
dreamland thap in listening to a reci-
tation of the terrible fate of the eter-
nally damned.
1t is a well-known fact that a mo-
notony of sound, a droning of words,
viii induce sleep, and Shakespeare
says "weariness can snore upon the
flint" which may or may not have
been a simile for a church bench or
for a particularly rocky sermon. And
Magistrate Crane, from his dignifled
position on the wool-sack, declares it is
a God-given privilege to snore. even in
church. Thus we have cause and ef-
feet, and a justification Of the effect
from very high authorities. And since
it has been established that a man
may sleep in church. and snore If he
pleases. without offending any statute
or tenet of common law. a greater
number OF men. may possibly feel con-
strained to put in an appearance al

superstitions of Actors.

Personally I am not in the least
superstitious, but the majority of my
fraternity are, remarked Kyrle Bel
lew, the actor at the Darlington, says
the New York Globe. Il think we
take front rank in that respect al
though naval men are hard to
beat.
For instance. there is the theater
cat. If she attends rehearsals regu-
larly il means long run for the piece
about to be produced. Then, again,
the tag which is the last line of the
play, is never uttered during rehear-
sails in any theater, as it is be-
lieved it would spoil the run of the
piece
Then there are peacock feathers.
Many dItamatlsts and managers, as well
as actors, have attributed their failure
to the ba1eful presence of peacock
feathers Open umbrellas, too, play
an important part. 1t is quite suffi-
cient for an actor to open an umbrella
within the precincts of the stage door
to have him promptly elected, fer,
you know, the stage doorkeeper is
truculent sort of being, and is
no respecter of persons.
There are certain tunes, also, which
are vigorously tabooed as being I'M
lucky among others the music of Mac
beth. Whistling in the dressing room
is looked upon as little less than a
crime, as the actor who happens to be
nearest to the door will certainly lose
his engagement in consequence. That
is known as 'whistling man out of the
theater.' There are many other odd
superstttions, all equally absurd and
difficult to explain"

PERSONAL.

Elmer Gilbert of Trenton, N. j.,
came to the conclusion that life was
not worth living, so he went down
to a pier by the creek and proceeded
to slip quietly into the water. A stout
spike sticking out from the stringpiece
thereupon assumed the role of life
saver. 1t caught in the ample base
ment of Elmer's trousers just as he
let go with his hand. and there the
would-be suicide hung, kicking vain
ly, his toes. but a few inches from
the watery grave he sought. It was
a most undignified arrangement alto
gether, but Mr. Gilbert was unable to
extricate himself. After wriggling
about for some ten minutes he yelled
for help and shortly he was yarked
back to safety.
Surgeon General Wyman of the
public health and marine hospital serv-
ice at Washington has been noti-
fed that Assistant Surgeon Claude G.
Pierce, representative of that service
at the city of Panama, has been ap-
pointed health officer for that city by
the Panama authorities. The appoint
ment is considered an important con-
cession to the United States. as it will
result in the adoption of American
methods in protecting the canal zone
from outside infection. There has been
considerable apprehension of the in
PRODUCTION OF plague from South Amer
lean ports and the fact that DIR. Pierce
will have charge of the quarantine
service of the port, it is believed, will
do much to prevent that result.

Wake NE n song.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Out of the silences wake me a. song.
Beautiful, sad. and soft, and low;
Let the loveliest music sound along,
And wing each note with a wall of
woe,
Dim and drear.
And hopes last tear
Out of the silences wake me hymn,
Whose sounds are like shadows soft
and dim.
Out of the stiffness in your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Wake me song, thou child of art!
The song of a hope in last despair.
Dark and low,
A chant of woe
Out of the stiffness, tone by tone,
Cold as a snowflake, low as a moan.
Out of the darkness flash me a song.
Brightly dark and darl1iy bright:
Let it sweep as a lone star sweeps
along
The mystical shadows of the night.
Sing ii sweet,
My soul TO greet
Where nothing is drear, or dark, or
dim.
and earth-song scars into heavenly
hymn.

THE OUTLOOK FOR PARKER.

Former Senator Hill. the head of the
New York Democracy, is reported as
saying that he is certain that Judge
Parker will be nominated. There are
! other Democratic leaders who feel the
same way in regard to his candidacy.
A Parker delegation was elected by
/ Virginia Democrats last week and one
will be chosen in Mississippi this week
! There doesn't seem to be any doubt
that the Texas. Louisiana and North
! Carolina delegations will be for him.
There was a showing of hands in the
New Jersey delegation last Thursday,
| and it was discovered that nineteen
OF the twenty-four were Parker men.
Under the unit rule he will have the
delegation. and the impression is that
| the Pennsylvania delegation is COM
posed almost wholly of Parker men.
None of the foregoing delegations are
instructed.
The matter that is being discussed
now is the part that Mr.. Bryan will
play. in the convention. 1t seems to
be conceded that he and Mr.. Hearst
together will not have "A third of the
delegates, and, hence, he will not be in
position to deadlock the convention
and force a compromise on the plat
form and ticket
1t will be recalled that he had his
way in respect to the platform in 1900
by one vote. He will not have it this
year, but he will be on the Committee
on Resolutions. And so will Mr. Hill.
These two men do not love each other.
But Mr.. Hill will be a member of
ma jority of that committee, and doubt
less will dictate the platform. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Bryan will make
minority report, and will endeavor
to stampede the convention by the
speech he will make on his report. If
he is INDUCING in expectations of that
sort he is going to be disappointed.
The convention will listen to him with
respect, but it will not be open to con-
vietion.
No doubt Mr. Hill is looking for
ward to his triumph over Mr.. Bryan
with feelings of pleasure. The indica-
lions are he will realize his expecta-
tions to the fullest extent He was
turned down in 1900. but he will be
master of the situation this year. Mr..
Bryan may feel like boiling, but there
isn't a probability that he will do any,
thing so foolish. There may be a lit
tie concession made to him so that
he win be able to take the stump for
the ticket. A curious sort of conces-
sion was made TO the Bryanites by the
Democrats of Kentucky, and it brought
about harmony. 1t was a commenda-
ton of Mr. Bryans defense of the
principles of Thomas Jefferson. Tie
demand that Judge Parker shall
state his views on public questions
isn't quite so urgent as 1t wassa couple
OF weeks ago. Democrats who are
anxious for the success of the party
are satisfied that he is a good Demo-
crat, and those who want to prevent
his nomination have come to the con-
clusion that he cannot be scared or
bulldOzed into doing what his judg-
ment condemns. His firmness in re-
fusing interviews has increased respect
for him because it shows he has both
judgment and courage.

The prosecution of the Elias woman
in New York turned out to be a pet
ty, unsavory farce. The pitiable old
man who alleges he was victimized
by the woman told a weak story on
the stand, and the woman was dis
charged. There was nothing to show
that she had resorted TO blackmail,
nor was there any evidence that the
old man had not lavished hundreds
of thousands of dollars on her of his
own free will and accord. The prose
cutting attorney sized the situation up
about right when he said that the
parties to the miserable scandal ought
to be permitted to stew in their own
crease

Twentieth Century Ideas Incline To-
ward Sanitation and Preventative
Nowadays scientists believe that in
cleanliness lies the secret of preven-
ton of disease.
To prevent disease remove the
cause.
Just as unclean habits breed many
diseases, so careless habits will breed
dandruff. Improper use of another's
brushes, combs, etc, will surely cause
dandruff, and, in time, will just as
surely cause badness.
It's microbic infection. Nothing
more nor less.
