The Wrong Bluff.

A clock in a nearby tower had just
tolled off the hour of as he arose I'M
steadily from the card table, where he
had sat for three hours, stretched his
weary limbs, babe his comrades good
night, and started in the direction Of
his home, says the Philadelphia Press.
After a half hours walk, in which
all the lamp post and telegraph poles
insisted on getting in his way, he ar
rived at his home, took out his bunch
of keys, at last found the elusive key
hole, and softly opening the door and
discarding his shoes at the foot of the
stairs, climbed heavenWard on all
fours. With cat-like footsteps he crept
across the threshold of his bedroom
and proceeded to undress. He heard
his wife move restlessly, which made
him hurry, and in doing so he upset a
chair. Stepping quickly over to the
cradle in the corner he commenced to
rock it violently.
lis that you, John?" came his wife s
voice from the bed.
Yes dear" he replied.
WELL what in the world are you do
ing?" she asked.
why, I'm rocking the blamed kid
to sleep"
How long have you been there?'
''Since 1890"
well, John, think you had better
get right into bed, as I have the child
in here beside me, and, moreover, I've
had him here ever since IL O'Clock last
night"

When stnmne Were Nov.

when postage stamps. first came in
to use" said a veteran postal clerk,
according to the Galveston Tribune,
the public didn't know how to handle
them. You remember how, when tea
and coffee first appeared among us, the
people fried the tea leaves and the cof-
fee berries and served them with salt
and pepper? Well, the people treated
their stamps as absurdly in 1854.
Some folks would put the stamps
inside their letters, out of sight. Here
is the official notice that we issued to
stop that practice"
The clerk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said:
The stamps upon all letters and
packages must be affixed on the out
side thereof, and above the address
thereon"
He put back his bulletin and drew
forth another one.
People would pin the stamps on
their letters, instead of cumming
them" he said, "and when they did
gum them they would not do it right.
Hence this second bulletin" and he
read:
Persons posting letters should affix
the requisite number of stamps pre-
vious to depositing them in the letter
receivers. as when posted in damp
state the stamps are liable to rub off
and thereby cause the letters to be
treated as unpaid. Do not pin on the
stamps"
STILL" said the clerk, "the public
didn't understand. Think of tit didn' t
understand the simple matter of stick
ing postage stamp on a letter. So
we got out a third bulletin"
The third bulletin, in big, impatient
letters, said:
THE simplest and most effectual
method of causing stamps to adhere
firmly is, first to moisten we'll the out
side of the stamps and afterwards the
gummed side slightly, taking care not
to remove the gum"
The clerk said that a philatelist had
offered him $12 apiece for these three
queer bulletins

Commander Robert Z. Peary. U. S.
N. is to make. next summer, still an
other attempt upon the north pole. The
finding of that magnetic center will be
without benefit, save in a somewhat
nebulous, scientific way yet Mr..
Peary and others are just as anxious
to discover it as if all the rainbows
ended there and innumerable pots of
gold were awaiting there for their
coming. Mr.. Peary has led several
expeditions into the frozen NORTH
during which he thinks he acquired
experience and information enough to
make his next search for the pole
successful He announced in New
York the other day in part what his
plans were. The expedition will leave
next July, in a ship that is now being
built for it. Heretofore all Arctic ex-
petitions have sailed in slow ships,
only the latest of them having steam
even as an auxiliary power. In this
matter Mr.. Peary proposes to make his
most radical departure from prece-
dents. His new vessel will be a pow
erful and fast steamer. She will be
designed to sustain severe blows and
heavy pressure from the ice, but her
leading characteristics will be speed
and engine power. She will be pro-
vided with sails as an auxiliary, so
that she may creep back slowly in
case all of her coal is burned going
out. But sails are not to be depended
on going north. Mr.. Peary means to
make it a dash, literally. He will
winter at Whale Sound, and with the
first appearance of the sun after the
long arctic night he purposes to dash
onward over the ice for the pole. No
white man will accompany him on the
last lap of the dash. He will have
a picked company of Esquimaux, and
these only will be with him when he
unlocks the great secret of the frozen
north, should he be SO fortunate as to
find the key.
Mr.. Peary's new ship is being built
in Maine. 1t will be of steel and oak
with 1900 horsepower engines. All
the money needed for the trip has not
been collected, but it will doubtless be
forthcoming in ample time.

ANTI-KIssING CLUE.
From the New York World.

L AOAll IllC ANON L VI wv
Lexington, Ga, Sept. 16.-Recently
half a dozen pretty Georgia girls dis
cussed kissing from various stand
points-hygienically financially, ETC.
and decided that it is a silly and I'M
sanitary practice. Accordingly they Or
ganized as the Anti-Kissing Club and
adopted a constitution, which provides,
among other things:
THE object of this club is to pro-
mote hygiene, candor, saneness and
finance among its members. The mem
bers are those who frame this consti-
tuition and conform to it's requirements,
and others who may join later
Each member shall sign the follow
ing pledge with her own blood, secured
from her lips
" pledge myself to never kiss any
one except father, mother, brothers,
sisters, husband and children.
L pledge myself Furthermore to
never kiss my betrothed until I be-
come his wife.
:" If fail to keep this pledge 1 will
pay a fine of $25 and ask the club to
erase my name from the roll"
"On the marriage of any member of
this club in good standing each men,
Der shall pay S. to the treasurer, who
shall shall present the amount as a
bridal gift to the bride.
THE amount paid in by those who
fail to keep the pledge shall be held by
the treasurer as a fund to be divided
among those who prefer spinsterhood.
"All members of the club must at
tend the marriage of members, and all
hymeneal ceremonies will be arranged
by an appointed committee.
ANY member who applies for di-
vorce shall pay to the treasurer $50 and
have her name removed from the roll.
"On the death of any member in
good standing each member shall pay
to the treasurer S., to be used in erect
ing a shaft to the deceased, which
shall be a marble pillar three by four,
surmounted by figure of a woman in
Greek costume three feet high, with
the first finger of the right hand
touching closed lips. The only in
scription shall be: Here rests mod
est. sensible and faithful member of
the A. K. c."
Fortunately for the Georgia boy, the
A. K. C.'s failed to insert a clause
prohibiting hugging. But when a MEM
Der is being Rugged she will murmur
the warning: please remember 1 am
an A. x C."

back and forth, according to the BaIti-
more Sun, my ring is rather broad;

three times, and 1 used to wear my
wedding rings in turn; first, Johns
for few days, then I would put on
Edwards and then I would wear the
ring Robert gave me. But I never
felt quite happy.
When I was wearing Johns ring. 1
felt somehow as though l was dis
loyal to Edward and Robert. When
l put on Edwards ring, 1 felt unhappy
because l seemed to be neglecting John
and Robert, and when it came time to
take off that ring and give Robert s
ring its turn, 1 felt as though I was
disloyal to my first and second. FL
nally solved the problem by having
all three rings welded together.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago thinks
that the Democrats can carry Illinois
by $4,000 majority if they get together.
Then they might as well get together.
1t would be rather a pity to lose
twenty-seven electoral votes that can
be had as easily as that, especially as
they may be needed"
The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.)
says: President Roosevelt's long and
boastful letter of acceptance recalls
the criticism of Junius upon windy
state paper of Lord Hilsboro: Strong
assertions without proof, declama-
ton without argument and violent as
sertion without dignity, but neither
correctness in the composition nor
judgment in the design

Rev. DR.. j. Leilich of Harrisburg,
Pa, who preferred the charge of poly
gamy against Senator Reed Smoot be-
fore the United States Senate, has
surrendered his Office of superintend-
emit of the Methodist church of Utah
and gone to Los Angeles in the hope
of benefiting his health. DR.. Leilich
has discovered that he is suffering
from chronic diabetes in an advanced
stage and his death is only a question
of time.
The agitation over the decline of
the English physique, to which atten-
ton was so forcibly called during the
Boer War, has led to a crusade against
juvenile smoking and an "anti-cigarette
bill" is now before the House of Com
mons, though it is not believed that
there is any probability of it's passing
The objection is made that the fine of
$3.50 which is imposed upon every boy
or girl under 16 who is convicted of
smoking must be paid by the parent
and that the offense is one that parents
can not prevent.

FECUNDITY OF FISH.

From the New York World
In a chapter on the artificial cultiva-
ton of sea fish. contributed by r. b.
Marston to Ahalo's British Salt Water
Fishes. it is stated that there need be
no fear that such important fish as the
cod and the herring can ever become
extinct or even reduced In numbers by
man, except locally A cod Of ten pounds
has a million eggs. On July 20. 1896
Prof. Hensen calculated that there
must be over 27s billions OF impreg-
mated cod eggs in each square Nor
wegian geographical mile OF the surface
of the Skagerrak. Consequently the
three or four hundred millions Of eggs
artihcially Matched ana turned IN an
nually from a Norwegian hatchery are
only A drop IN the ocean.
