AMUSING ERRORS.

A New York editor who wrote an
obituary on. tie death of a man Of
some celebrity said, He began life
as a legal practitioner, but was divert
ed from it by a love of letters" He
did not see the proof, and was con-
fronted the next morning by this:
He began life as a legal politician,
but he was diverted from it by a love
of bitters."
A convivial host once offered a toast
to a woman at a dinner party. He
said: "Woman-man without her
would be a savage" When the words
appeared in print the next day, they
read: "woman-man without her
would be a sausage"
A dancing master in renewing his
solicitations for patronage desired to
express his thanks for past favors
but was made to say that he most
respectfully offered his shanks." A
striking instance of the Importance

WHAT THE PREACHER NEEDED.

Between emotionalism and formal
ism in religion there is a golden mean
and almost every man thinks he
has found 1t. So probably thought a
white minister who preached to a
colored congregation in North Caro-
lima, but after the sermon, says the
Roanoke News, he invited an old COL
ored deacon to offer prayer. 20
Lord" prayed the daecon, "gib dis
poor brudder de eye OBJ de eagle, dat
he spy out de sin afar off. Glue his
hands to de gospel plow. Tie his
tongue to de line oh truth. Nail his
ear to de gospel pole. Bow his haid
way down between his knees, o Lord,
and fix his knees way down In some
lonesome, dark and narrer valley,
where prayer is much wanted to be
made. 'Noint him wild de kerosene lie
of salvashun and sot him on fire."

The little daughter of the house
awoke one morning to be greeted with
the tidings that she had "a new little
brother, who had arrived the night
before. "You can't imagine who
brought him." said the nurse. The
little one thought a moment, and then
said brightly:
"Oh, yes, now l know; 1t was the
milkman."
"Why the milkman?" was asked In
a surprised tone.
because It says on his wagon,
Families supplied Of course" was her
answer.

THEN YOU'LL REMEMBER ME-"

Michael w. Balfe the first modern
Irishman whose musical talent was
universally admitted. Balfe was born.
in Dublin in 1908 and died in England
in 1870. Among his operas are "The
Bohemian Girl" (from which "Then
You'll Remember Me" is taken), "The
Maid of Artois" "The Rose of Cas-
tile" and Joan of Arc"
When other lips and other hearts
Their tale of love shall tell,
In language whose excess imparts
The power they feel so well;
Some recollection be
OF days that have as happy been,
Snu you III remember me,
And you'll remember. you'll remember

When coldness or deceit shall slight
The beauty now they prize,
And deem it but a faded light
Which beams within your eyes;
Twill break your own to see
In such a moment I but ask
That you'll remember me,
That you'll remember, you'll remem.

THE HEROES OF DRUDGERY.

"The average man would rather
face the fire of hostile armies and
battle side by side with death, fight
ing for his country, than dig in the
city's streets or cart the city's garb-
age, or push broom on the boule-
ward. Yet it is the men who do this
work-work which is commonly de-
spised and looked down upon-who
are the real heroes of Chicago, These
are the men whose hard, honest,
faithful labor has placed this city
among the most economical in the
world"
1t is an unusual view of heroism.
But no right-regulated mind can
think twice on the subject without
realizing that it is the right one.
Heroism is commonly supposed to
be born in a blaze of glory.
We seldom think of 1t as dull, pa
tient daily sacrifice and toll.
Yet common labor faithfully per-
formed has done more for the ad-
vancement of mankind than have all
the battles ever fought.
The man in the sewer is called down
under the streets, into foul air and
ever-imminent danger. His is life
of constant discomfort and denial; yet
he tolls on and seldom complains.
The ditch digger at his work in his
humble living offers as high an ex-
ample of honest, earnest perform
ance of duty as is to be found in any
military camp or field of battle. All
day long he is busy, apparently tire
less, his broad back and brawny arms
carrying the heaviest part of the bur-
den of civilization, and for small re-
ward.
The city garbage man as he makes
his way through noisome alleys while
others sleep, carrying off the refuse
and making the city habitable for the
rest of US. offers as fine an example
of lifelong devotion to unpleasant duty
as the world affords.
1t is harder to stand up under daily
toll and nightly discomfort than under
the fire of a battle line.
There is no drumbeat to thrill one,
no bright waving flag to follow, no
hope Of glory. in the every day devo-
tion to duty.
Hard toll and poor pay are more
difficult to face than bullets.
But millions of men do face the
unhappy condition all their lives. And
we cannot overestimate their heroism
or their service.
They are doing more for mankind
that are all the worlds soldiers and
statesmen combined.
Skilled labor has done, and is doing
much for the races advancement But
skilled labor is also doing much for
itself. It's toll is pleasant. its condi-
tions easy and its pay good. Skilled
labor wrests from the world its due.
But not so with common labor. 1t
performs the work which none others
will do and it accepts what is offered
in pay. 1t is the drudge of the world,
and the mainstay of civilization. 1t
does and suffers and asks for little.
1t is the highest type of true heroism
to be found in all history.

SERIOUS.

Tempted to run out by snowstorm
crowd of small boys out for good
time" decided to throw snowballs.
One of the snowballs found its way
into a neighbor's window and broke
the pane. The boys took to their
heels, and when the lady of the house
came out, steaming with anger, no
one was in seight But she was de-
termined at least to show the Off
GERS that they were neglecting their
duties. So she ran around the corner
and a policeman was found. She
forced him to go With her and take
a look at the damage. on the way
she scolded him, and said he ought to
be discharged. The policeman, who
was an Irishman, kept quiet. At last
they reached their destination, and
the lady of the house brought him to
where the glass was lying scattered.
The officer examined the broken win
dow, and said:
This is more sayrious than OF
thought ut was! It's broke on both
soides,"

HundIey as District Attorney.

hGn0fey as District Attorney.
The President yesterday appointed Oscar
r. Hundley, Of Huntsville. Ala, district at
torney for the Northern district Of Ala
bama TO succeed Thomas r. Roulhac, the
incumbent. The appointment is the big
gest kind OF surprise TO Alabama poll
ticians, who were firmly Of the belief that
Roulhac would be retained In Office. The
appointment marks decided change upon
the part Of the President in the policy he
has heretofore adopted toward Southern
appointments
Four years ago, when the Lily White
movement in the South was at its height
the President declared that he intended
TO build up a decent Republican party in
the South. He turned down all candidates
for the Federal judgeship and, upon the
recommendation Of Booker T. Washing
ton, appointed Thomas G. Jones, the Fed
aral judge Of the Middle district. A short
time later the district attoTneyship Of the
Northern district came u9 for settlement.
and the President continuing his policy
turned down all the Republican appli-
cants and appointed Thomas r. ROulhac,
a Democrat, the district attorney.
Yesterday, when the question of the re-
appointment Oh fNOutlldc was brought f0r-
ward, the President declined 10 reappoint
Roulhac, and named in his place Oscar r.
Hundley, a Republican. Judge Roulhac,
who Is a Democrat. Is one of the best
lawyers in the State and In every re-
spect has proved an efficient district at
tOrney. It was thought there was no
question that he would be reappointed.
Oscar Hundley has for some time been
associated with the Presidents referees
and has taken a prominent part in the
distribution Of post-office patronage in the
State.
