From Force Of Habit.
BY NJ. WORTH COLwELL.

The young lady assistant-editor
had received a proposal Of marriage
by letter, from her most ardent adj
mirer. She promptly sat down by
her typewriter and wrote the follow
ing:
My Dear Mr.. Dubb:
1 regret to say that after carefully
reading your letter of the Sd inst. I
cannot accept your proposal, which
you so kindly submitted, and same is
returned herewith. The rejection OF
a sutton does not necessarily imply
that he is lacking in merit. Any one
of a number of reasons may render
him unavailable. He may have been
forestalled by similar material. or he
may be too long or too short, or he
may lack style. His financial re-
sources may not be up to the re-
quired standard, or he may not move
in high enough society, etc.
The undersigned is always ver..;;
glad to examine proposals of this
kind, but begs, however, to be ex-
cused from detailed criticism. All
such proposals must be accompanied
by a stamped and addressed envel-
ope and are submitted at owners
risk.
Thanking you for your courtesy
in offering the enclosed, / am
Yours very truly, 4

Wilmington Inquiry.

In answer to the district attorney
at Pittsburg, Pa, who is seeking in
formation from the navy department
relative to the recent explosion on the
gunboat Wilmington as affording am
pie evidence to be used in the second
trial Of certain employees of steel
tube company on charges of having
furnished defective boiler tubes to
the navy the department will reply
that it has SO far no knowledge of
the particular tube on the Whining
ton which exploded. As the boiler
contains three sizes and makes 81
tubes, this is an important point, and
pending its determination the Bureau
Of Steam Engineering does not care
to commit itself.

Masqueraded as Man.

disappearing as a man and work
ing side by side with her husband in
various Washington county coal
mines, "Joe" Poyle was discovered
to be Mrs. Susie Povle, when she was
taken to a hospital suffering from
injuries sustained in a mine accident
at Cecil. The woman according to her
husband, Steve Povle, had been work
ing with him three yearc. Her coarse
voice and close cropped hair deceived
all, to her sex, while her strength
equalled that Of any Of her male Slav
companions. The woman's injuries
were discovered to be serious and her
husband was lodged in the county Jail
here, charged with violating the law
in employing female help in a mine
The woman acted as Polve's helper
and was paid by Povle.

Cigars Free Of Duty.

A woman with red face and her
mushroom hat tilted over her left ear
at belligerent angle marched into
the Office of Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Reynolds yesterday and
plunked her parasol with a bang on
his desk.
81 have been insulted by your Gus
toms officers" she began, in an ex-
cited tone.
els that sol Well, I'm sorry" re-
piled the urbane Mr.. Reynolds, in his
mot ootheing manner.

of your men, who asked me if l smok-
ed cigars. Of course / don't smoke
the horrid things. was just bringing
few of them from Cuba for my
husband, and that man at New York
tried to force me to say that / in

"Did you declare the cigars as
dutiablef" inquired Mr.. Reynolds.
"No," replied the woman, with
signs of weakening.
"And they were not for your own
use7"
"Of course not" flaring up aSain.
"Well madam, according to law
you will have to pay duty on them.
Cigars to the number of fifty may be
brought in free of duty, when they
are intended for use by the owner"
A moment or two later the woman
left, still with vague sense of hav-
ing been affronted, but not quite SO
sure of it as when he entered.
"That cigar clause of the tariff
law" said Mr.. Reynolds, "causes US
more trouble than any other schedule,
Somehow or other women seem to
dislike to admit that they are cigar
smokers. They are anxious to get the
authorized limit of fine Havana past
the customs officers free Of duty, but
they have terrible time of it when
asked to state whether OF not the ci-
CARS are for their personal use. That 8

WORDS OF WISDOM.

No man ever really worked until
he started in to avoid work.
Freedom of speech has blasted
many reputation for wisdom.
Practical religion is the kind that
helps you to live, and not only to die.
Judging by the epitaphs on tomb
stones, sinners are rare articles in
this world
One advantage of being on the
water-wagon is the fun you have fall
ing off again.
The more a man knows about any
subject the more cautious he is about
discussing it.
If death came to call on a man
more than once, the man might lose
his respect for it.
The world seldom recognizes the
worth of man until too late for II
to help the man.
Success in politics is the ability to
keep the dear people from asking
for explanations.
Conscience is that part of ones
mental makeup that tells him some
one is wise to him.
1t seems to be mighty hard for
the average mortal to act sensible
when out In crowd.
Some people cannot understand
that there is difference between
genius and eccentrieity.
Opportunity has a bad habit Of
coming to call just when you happen
to be away from home.
Happiness comes when man real
ICES that he himself could not have
improved on this world.
If there had been no scissors in
vented. there would probably have
been more geniuses In the world
From the Jacksonville Times-U Union
Philosopher.

verse report from the house, it is

The Pope's Jubilee.

Rome.-The decision of the Pope
to forbid the celebration Of his sa-

sion of the anti-clerical campaign in
Italy is not final, but it is believed
that he will take this step as he dis
likes the idea Of festivities at q time
when the church is undergoing perse-
cution in France, when modernist ag-
itation is rife, and during the present
revival of anti-clericalism in Italy.

Waited s5 Years in Vain.

After waiting So years for word
from her son, who left home after a
family quarrel, Mrs. Rebecca Levy,
100 years old. died at her home, AIT
West Taylor street, Chicago, Of a
broken heart and advanced age. For
the last two years the aged woman
had been unable to leave her bed, but
each day as the hour for the coming
of the postman arrived she would
send her daughter, Rose Levy, So
years old, to ask IL there was any
message from her absent boy. Mrs.
Levy was born in Russia 100 years
ago, and. lived there until she was 40
years of age. With her husband she
moved to Scotland, where her daugh-
ter was born. In 1857 they came to
Chicago and settled on the West Side.

Saloons and Messenger Boys.

Under the new law 1t is unlawful
to send boys under 21 years Of age
to saloons with messages. Manager
Hackett of the Western Union office
took the matter up with the probate
Judge and the probation officer. The
latter thought 1t was entirely proper
to send boys to the entrance of a
saloon, but the manager did not hink
so and 1t will not be done. Saloon
men receiving messages will be noti-
fled and may call for them undess
men are employed as messengers. It
is great point gained for the boys.
