He Felt Comp!imented.

A man from Philadelphia, says a writer In the Ledger of that city was visiting in town of very few inhab- itants. One day when he was about to make d purchase he discovered that he had exhausted his small change. The shopkeeper could not break the ten dollar bill offered him, and the man went out in the main street to see how he might solve the difficulty. He asked several persons. but no one had the requisite amount for the bill. At last an old white haired. seedy negro came along. In sheer desperation the man said:
 Uncle. can you change a ten dollar bill for ne?'
 "Uncle" looked dazed for moment. then his shambllng figure straightencd With dofling of the hat and q bo4s worthy of Ch.Gterleld he replied. with dignity:
 "No, marse. I can't change no ten q ,- lar bill, but done 'preciates the co;ll pliment jes' the same, sah."

The Man With Forty Ghosts,

ne wan VsIn Fotey 0u0S1Ss
 A popular novelist talked with re- gret about the old ghost habit of the past.
 Famous painters first and famous writers afterward alike had ghosts he said. 'These ghosts were pupils. disciples. They did the basic work of the masters picture or novel, and the master polished up, put on the finish ing touches and signed his name to it. This practice. indeed. still obtains i'll architecture. It was # practice that allowed popular artist a manifold increase of production and consequent ly of income Dumas, the elder Du- mas, had no less than forty ghosts forty intelligent young men writing away for him about D'Artagnan, Por- thos, Aramis and the rest. But Du- mas was reckless, and the existence of his forty ghosts became known; hence a good deal of scandal. At the height of this scandal Dumas said to lady one night:

FOURTH OF JULY :. AT THE MAJESTIC

The attendance at the Majestic was not as large as usual last night on account of there being so much out door amusement, but the company played just the same and presented a continuous vaudeville bill that would have done credit to high class vau- kdeville house in any of the cities. Sev- aral of the acts on the bill were worth
 more than passing notice. Miss Miller, who sang "Red Feather" in Indian makeup and costume, delight ed the audience with her turn. The
 light effects were indeed beautiful and she was enthusiastically encored. A. l.. Foulk proved very entertaining in character songs. Louis Dean gave two new acts, the first, "A Telephone Tragedy in which he presents the entire act himself, and succeeded in holding the attention of the audience.
 The act is very dramatic and Mr. Dean handled it in a very capable manner. His best act, however, was "The Sculptor" the last dramatic act
 on the bill, Roman Travesty.' H. Iustrated sangs and vitascope pictures were all new and thoroughly enjoy able. Tonight this company will pre- sent the screaming farce comedy, "The Runaways,' and as an added feature will give complimentary dance after the performance, which will close at 10 o'clock. Everybody is promised good time' tonight, an ] as the Dean company is far above the average it is hoped that the people will turn out and give them big house tonight for they really deserve much peter patronage than they have been getting.
