Feminine Diplomacy.

From the Boston Post.
 When I say a thing I know Is going to make friend mad" said one of the girls, "I go up to her and ask her for a hairpin. It puts her in good humor right away
 'That sort of thing does work" as- sented her friend, who is an artist. My elevator boy for instance. He had some sort of a grudge against fme. l don't know why, because l often tip him. He made 1t as hard as possible for me to enter or leave the elevator. He would stop 1t two feet above the landing some times or two feet below, so l would have either to spring up or leap down.
 "The other day. when ] had entered at the risk of life and limb, he opened a package of cigarettes. I said very po- litely I am dying for cigarette. May l have one?
 T wasn't. I don't smoke them; but he at once handed me the package with exaggerated polteness to help myself. and has been my good friend ever since"

WHO IS THROWING MUD?

Who is throwing mud? For instance,
here is a chunk of mud thrown at Will
kinson. It is dug up from the years
when Mr.. Wilkinson was in the custom
house in New Orleans, as an appointee
of President Cleveland At that time
there were negroes in the custom house
as now, and yet the mud Singer would
have it appear that Mr.. Wilkinson was
accountable for the negro being in the
custom house.
Another chunk of mud, directed at
Wilkinson, is that the parish of Plaque
mine was the last parish in the State
which was redeemed from Republicans.
What has this to do with Mr. Wilkin-
sons Democracy and his fealty to his
party2
Il will not be disputed that Mr.. Will
kinson has always been loyal to the
party and was steadfast to Bryan when
others, now striving to outherod Herod
in their Democracy, were champions Of
Palmer and Buckner and aided and
allotted in the defeat of the Democratic
candidate for president.
What of ST. Mary? may be asked as
. retort to this chunk of mud at Will
kinson.
ST. Mary, the home of Mr.. San 1ers
and Of Senator Murphy J. Foster, was
for years the political hotbed Of Repub-
licans.. It was overwhelmingly in con-
troll Of the negroes. 1t was only through
combination with the negroes that white
men were elected to local Offices, and
Murphy ]. Foster was returned to the
Legislature on the fusion ticket, ne
groes and white men, good Democrats
cooperating together.
Il il is desired to dig up mud, so be
It. There is much mud which can be
dur up and flung around promiscuously
