Smith is reported TO have said, "it is my
right to wed the girl of my choice, re-
gardless of creed or color" Persons
can and will draw distinction between
a white man and a negro lunching to-
gether and marriage between the two
races. 1t was the social equality aspect
of the White House dinner that has
done harm, not the men eating at the
same table. 1t is the hope of the demo-
Gratis to make this country what it was
under democratic rule, an imperial re-
public. The republicans are making it
a Roosevelt imperial dynasty and 'the
King can do no wrong"

Too Rich for His Blood.

A tall rawboned individual who
didn need grasshooper peeking out
of a side pocket to tell he was from
Kansas, wandered into Second ave-
nue. cafe few days ago. After look
ing the room over carefully he select
ed seat at table near the door At
ter he had arranged his chair with
much noise and not without attracting
some attention, it dawned upon him
that other men in the eating place
had taken off their hats. The Kansas
man removed battle-scarred felt and
deposited it carefully under the table.
A waiter brought him the regular
dinner bill of fare and waited for the
order. The Kansas man didn't say
a word.
He was hard at work.
He studied over that program for
nearly half an hour and then with
a sigh arose, put on the green helmet
and started for the door
What is the matter, sir?'' anxiously
queried waiter, thinking that the
patron had been offended.
"Too steep fer me, young Teller.
can't pay $2S.45 fer one meal. It's
too rich fer my blood"
On the table at which the Kansas
man had been seated was found a
small piece Of paper covered with fig
ures. He had added the prices of
everything on the bill of fare.-Seat-
tie Post-Intelligence.

A NEW KIND OF FUN.
How Some Girls and Boys Actually
Ran a County Fair.

You see it started in this way The
real annual county fair was held in
September, just before the boys and
girls went back to school, and, accom-
panied by their parents, they attended
the fair at least once, some of them
twice, and few of them three times,
and even then they did not have
enough of it. So it was proposed by
some of the older boys that they hold
county fair of their own.
OF course there was great deal OF
preliminary work to be done in the
way of printing tickets, making show
cards and price marks for articles, as
well IS selecting the grounds" and
arranging the locations for the various
attractions.
Fifty tickets were issued, and, as
school had begun again, the entire lot
was sold out on Friday preceding the
first fair day, but that did not limit
the attendance, and nearly as fast as
the tickets were collected they were
resold at the gateway, having been
marked to show how many times they
were thus resold. They were printed
on stiff cardboard, with rubber type
hand press, and duly signed by the
treasurer to give them the stamp of
commences.
Then the construction of the catch
pennies" and the free shows" re-
quired time, so that nearly three
weeks of afternoon labor were devoted
to the work.
1t was decided that all the "attrac
tons" should be we'll made, so they
would last for another season, and for
that reason care was taken to make
each article as strong and durable as
possible.
Two o'clock was the hour at which
the gateway was to be thrown open
to the wondering crowd; and at which
time it as announced that there was
to be balloon ascension, with others
to follow, and that parachutes were
to drop from the balloon as it as
cended.-From Joseph Henry Adams's
"The County Fair" in ST. Nicholas.

drop on the tongue would be enough
SO deadly and powerful was the poi
son.
Storm was taken into the back
yard, and we all fancied we could see
the reproachful look in his eyes. He
was betrayed, and he knew tive
said.
A gulp, swallow and it was all
over! Storm fell over at the feet OF
his mistress, and the tears were flow
ing down the faces of those who loved
him. They wished with all their
hearts that they had not done il, but
had let him live out his days with all
his aches and pains. They left him
lying there, and walked around the
house to find the prettiest place in
the garden in which to lay him. They
chose a spot where as puppy, Storm
had loved to lie in the dappled shade.
In half an hour the grave was dug,
and they came back to bury Storm.
He was not there!
Instead of lying stiff and cold, he &C.
tually trotted toward them, briskly
wagging his tail!
He pranced, he twirled, he paved
them. He frisked and leaped as if he
were a young dog again.
And his family? They covered him
with embraces, and all sat down and
cried over the dog who had miracul-
ously come back to life!
The neighbors are still trying to eX-
plain it. Most people think that the
druggist made a mistake, or that he
liked his little joke and didn't give
us prussic acid at all. But if that is
SO, why should Storm have fallen over
like a dead dog, and what became OF
his rheumatism? The druggist de-
clares that it was prussic acid, and
the family doctor declares that Storm
took enough to kill a dozen horses.
But certain it is that Storm did not
know what was expected OF him.-St
Nicholas.
