HAS SLAVE TO GIVE AWAY.
New Yorker Would Like to Get Rid of
Moorish Attendant.


Gilbert White. a portrait painter
in New York city, has a Moorish slave
named Absalom. Any one who wants a
sound Moor, feet inches tall, chest
~ inches, biceps II inches and who hits
Io60 on punching machine, should an
ply before it is too late to G. White.
painter.
Absalom is real slave, and in spite
of the fourteenth amendment he remains
slave, he insists.
An American Snowman went to Mo
rocco TO get natives for the st. Louis
fair. lie raised quite bunch. When
the Sultan SAID goodbye to the show
man he sent the vizier to the harmon for
his finest slave. The vizier brought back
Absalom. Absalom went to st. Louis
with the show. When the show broke
up the Snowman didn't want AbsaIom
any more. Neither did he want to send
him back to Morocco. SO he offered him
to White.
Hell never know the difference" said
the Snowman. The holding of slaves is
against the law, or rather it isn't sane
TONED by law, but it's all right He
couldn't live any other way, and in those
clothes he'd look great in studio"
Mr.. White left it to Absalom through
an interpreter, and Absalom chose sla-
very. So Absalom abode in the studio
and sewed for himself few new Moor
ish clothes when the old ones wore out
and became a domestic jewel. Absalom
held some warped Moorish ideas about
the conduct of masters toward servants
and servants toward masters.
He's fond of slapping the guests on
the back. but let Mr.. White or any of
his friends return the slap and he's
shocked and angry all through. He
thinks that such conduct toward a slave
is unworthy of a master. In several in
stances where Whites guests got too
friendly Absalom threatened them with
personal injury That's why Mr. White
thinks il is best to get rid of him

taurateur would charge YOU sixpence for
a serving of salt like this
Isn't the salt thrown in? Don't You
get it for nothing?"
Not in India. You order salt thera
the same as you would order Il chop or a
potato. and you are charged for it in your
bill. 1t seems funny to see this charge.
Salt. SO much
Salt is costly in India on account of
the enormous salt tax that the British
government levies. In consequence the
people are careful Of the salt over there
They don't waste a grain of it,"-Balti-

Bearish Views Strengthened.

Bearish views are strengthened mate rially by the startling unaninity with which market critics and market writers discuss the situation. The literature of the street is without discesdant note, bulish. The horde of financial writers are in agreement on the proposition that every condition favors further rise in quotations everything being "grcased' that way. Six months ago. when prices were from g to 90 points lower. there was the same chorus of opinion that the out- look was hopeless and that prices must continue to go down and down and down. They wrote with blue ink upon paper Of even a darker tinge and could see no good anywhere Every advance was chnrac- terized as utterly without justification or reason As the market tide rose these financial wiseacres modified their views. and now after the advance has taken place they are unit in proclalming that values are beginning their improvement and that there can be no end to the present bull movement There Is entirely "too much unanimousness" on the bull side of current market literature to suit the cynics of Wall street who have schooled themselves to oppose every tide as it approaches the dnod stage and who for the same reason are found buying stocks at the depth of every depression.

Vanderbilt Has Retired.

W. K. Vanderblt's departure for Eu- rope is accepted as final proof that he has completed his arrangements for retire. ment from active railroad management and that successive subsequent stepping out moves have been arranged for His presence in America will never again be yltally essential to the conduct and ope-- alton of the so-called Vanderbilt railroad systems. Now that he Is about 10 get out of harness and relieve himself from irksome business details, he may spend more of his time in America than for merly. Feeling free to do as he likes and being no longer subject to the call of official duties. he may find this country increasingly agreeable to him in a per sonal sense. When a man of his temper ament becomes restive under control he naturally frets and fumes when obliged to do things which interfere with his per sonal comfort. Relieved of his duties and the map of the world free to him. scenes that were once unpleasant may take on enjoyable features previously unrecog niZed.
