A CUP OF TEA.


Buying a cup of tea may be a trag-
edy or a comedy. Much depends on
the sex of the buyer. This is the way
a man buys it, says writer in the
London Sketch. He slides sheepishly
into the shop, takes the seat in the
draft Of the door that everybody else
has avoided, and says to the waitress
with a difident smile:
"Oh, would you bring me a cup of
teaY
The waitress, who returns the smile
or does not return 1t, according to the
rule Of the establishment in regard to
tipping, brings him his tea, slams it
down, scribbles out a check and sails
away.
The man tastes the tea, finds that 1t
is bitter from long brewing, slips out
of his seat, pays the bill and hurries
away from the shop.
Now let us see how a woman buys a
cup of tea.
She marches into the shop with a
little boy on one side of her and a lit
tie girl on the other.
Il want a table for three" she says
in the manner of one about to order a
dinner at ten guineas a head.
Eyes, madam" replies the meek at.
tendant. "Will you kindly step this
way"
Mummy" says the little boy, when
at last the party is seated and the at
tendant is waiting to take the two
penny order, mummy, why has that
lady got turned-upj nose?"
want a scone," complains the little
girl.
"a pot of tea for one," orders "mum.
N.Y." "and would you mind bringing an
extra cup, so that my little girl can
have some milk?"
zone tea and one milk?" asks the at.
tendant.
mo, thank you. I thought I gave
my order quite distinctly. 1 want a
pot Of tea for one and an extra cup.
That's all"
eyes, madam" says the meek at
tendant, and drags herself away with
the firm intention of becoming an ac-
tress, let the stage be what it may.
Gust one moment" says mummy .
when the tea is brought 81 should
like to make sure that this is not too
strong Yes, it is much too strong.
Will you let me have a pitcher of hot
water, please? And 1 don't think you
have brought quite enough milk"
Half an hour later she marches
proudly from the shop, having paid
exactly the same sum for these privi-
leges as the wretched man who could
not swallow a mouthful, and who sat
in draft.

ESCAPE OF RICH CRIMINALS.
DIR. Andrew ID. Whites Views on
This Important Subject.

DIR. Andrew ID. Whites Views on
This Important Subject.
DR.. Andrew D. White, in discussing
crime before the Cornell Summer
School, declared that a wealthy man
today could in a large majority Of
cases escape punishment for his crime
by the employment of able counsel.
81 wish to impress upon yOu," he
continued, "the recent warnings given
by Judge Brewer and Judge Brown Of
the United States Supreme Court; by
Judge Thomas of Alabama and latest
of all, by District Judge Amidon, who
truly says our administration Of the
criminal law has broken down and Is
an unavoidable machine.
"The administration OF our criminal
laws at the present time unquestiona-
bly, Is in a wretched condition, while
the number Of murders is increasing
rapidly, as statistics show. Still the
procedure against them is becoming
constantly more and more ineffective.
Zone Of the worst results of this de-
plorable condition is the growing opin-
ion which we meet on all sides among
the people at large, that men with
money can so delay justice by every
sort Of chicanery that there Is virtually
immunity to the highest crime
Not only are our judges too lenient
in their consideration Of cases Of this
class, but our governors also show
weakness in their easy dealings with
those guilty OF high crime. The delays
under our present system OF which
men with money can readily avail
themselves. and do, are monstrous,
and it seems to me that the whole pro-
cedure Is q farce"

NO MORE A GRAVE INSULT.
The Term ''Lfar'' Once Meant a Piss
toI Bullet or SwOrd-ThruSf

=
toll Bullet or SwOrd-ThruSt.
There are in our language many
words which have lost much of their
original force Our word ''soon,'' as
Greenough and Kittredge point out, is
the AnglO-SaXon word for Immediate
ly"
Respectable" once a term of honor,
has become apologize, and worthy"
which formerly meant honorable" has
taken on 4 cOndescending shade.
'Nice" originally meant foolish"
Only within a few centuries has the
word naughty lost its original mean
ings Of destitute and "good-for-noth-
ing"
We of to-day appear to be witnessing
the decadence Of the word liar" The
once deadly term is, according to the
Baltimore Sun, becoming commonplace
and incapable of arousing resentment.
One of the strongest and most ex-
pressive words in the English language
has been weakened and chaapened by
modern usage. Does it indicate deca-
dence on the part of our race that men
apply the epithet indiscriminately and
lightly and accept it with d complacen-
cy which would have amazed their fore
fathers?
If this is not decadence may it not
be exactly the contrary? May it not
prove that the civilization of the TWEEN
tieth century philosophicauy takes no
account of such trifles as reflections
upon a mans veracity?
That which our forefathers account
ed a virtue, to-wit, speedy and condign
punishment of the person who grossly
insulted another, may be regarded in
this wise and cynical generation as an
explosion of childish anger, inability
to control ones temper, inexcusable
weakness.
If that is the philosophy of our mod
ern composure under a fine of insult
ing epithets, the photographers should
take note of it when they revise the
dictionaries. They should say that the
word liar, which formerly had q def
mite meaning and represented condi-
ton, not a theory, is now widely used
in political controversy and no longer
carries sufficient opprobrium with it to
hurt anybody's feelings.
1t is a very handy epithet this lit
tie word liar.
The philosophy of "You are another"
has taken firm hold upon our civiliza-
ton. Let the photographers do their
duty-the word liar has been white
washed and is now a rather agreeable
term. This is what civilization has
done for a once pugnacjous and hot
tempered race.

large number of buttons supposedly
made of horn or bone or some such sub
stance are in reality made out Of the
common potato, which, when treated
with certain acids, becomes almost as
hard as stone. This quality of the pO-

very good grade Of button is now made
from this tubeE. The potato button
cannot be distinguished from others
save by a careful examination, and
even then only by an expert, since they
are colored to suit the goods on which
they are to be used, and are every whit
as good looking as a button Of bone or

Red or Green.

Tt is we'll known that the poet Whit
tier was color blind, and unable to dis
tinguish red from green. He once
bought for himself a necktie which he
supposed to be of a modest and suit
able olive tint and wore it-once. He
never wore it again, for his friends
soon made him aware that 1t offended
against the traditional quietness of
costume enioined alike by the habits
or the Friends and by MS own taste.
The tie was Of flaming scarlet.
On another occasion, when he found
a little girl in distress on account OF
a new gown, made over from her elder
sisters, which was not becoming to her
coloring and complexion, he tried to
console her.
81 wouldn't mind what a rude boy
says about it, Mary" he said, kindly.
Thee looks very we'll indeed in it
like an Dread, Mary, dressed all in

Unfortunately, Mary was not dressed
in green. She was red-haired, and her
dress was red; that was the trouble.
Once, on a day in mid-March, when
out walking with a Friend, and deep
~ engaged in conversation, Mr.. Whit
tier approached too near for safety to
a place where blasting was going on.
The danger signal was shown, but
neither Friend noticed it, until a work
man, violently waving his arms and
shouting, leaped before them and warn
ed them back.
