WOMAN'S WIT UNCERTAIN.
Az When This Wife Failed to Ap-
 preciate Hubby's Pleasantly.

Don't always rely upon the ready wit of woman." said the man who is sometimes pleased to consider him. self an oracle. That ready wit busi- ness is sometimes prone to get way off.
 For example, my wife and children had been staying in the country for several weeks. and was regular with my letters. as every loving husband should be. Finally on the day before my wife was to start for home con- cluded my letter to her with these words:
 "'This will be the last letter will write to you for long. long time.' When l got down to my office the next morning found telegram from my wife waiting for me. What on earth do you mean? read the dlsF tch.
 Later registered letter came from her. She had plotted almost every line with tears What it was all about I could not imagine.
 "Then my telephone bell rang. and when I answered I heard my wife's voice speaking over the long distance phone.
 "'Oh. Johnr said she. Is that really you? I thought you had committed suicide" ""-Washington Post.

s0UTHERNERs IN BRYAN CLUB.
A Number of New Workers to Help
 the Ticket,

New York, Aug 20.--ln answer to a call by William Harmon Black, for mer commissioner of accounts under Mayor Mcclellan, about sixty south erners met yesterday in MT Blacks office at Ill Broadway, to form a campaign club to work for the demo- cratic national and state tickets. John R. Dunlap, member of the govern ing board of the National Democratic club. was temporary chairman of the meeting
 Among those present were Colonel John c. Calhoun, ex-president of the Southern Railway Co; Judge Charles F. Moore, William Hepburn Russell, Ernest Bright Wilson, ex-Speaker of the house of representatives of Ten : nessee; Harvey Watterson, son of Colonel Henry Watterson; Colonel James A. Gray, former assistant dis trict attorney of Queens county and Phelan Beale, who organized the Co., lumbia University Democratic club. Mr Black said that the member ship of the club would be noticeable for it's absence of politicians. He and MT Russell were the only ones who had ever held offices, so far as he knew.
 An interesting feature of the new organization will be the lining up for Bryan," he said. Any number of men have signified their intention to join who at the last election bolted Bryan. This year they are going to get on the band wagon"

A HORSE. A HORSE.
Some One Has One That Is Warrant.
 ed to Carry Taft.

Washington, Aug 20.--General Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the bu- reau of insular affairs is daily in re- ceipt of letters from horse owners all over the country offering desirable mounts suitable for Judge William H. Taft, the republican candidate for the presidency. These letters have resulted from story that has gone the rounds of the press to the effect that General Edwards has been com missioned to purchase a steed for the republican candidate, the result of which Is that he has ever since been occupied in explaining that he is not in the market for horse.
 The other day he received an ad- yertisement of an enormously large and strong steed, 21 hands high and weighing 2,700 pounds, which had been used for exhibition purposes, but which ws5 declared to be admir- ably adapted for riding by a man weighing 300 pounds. General Ed wards has been surprised by the i'm, mense number of horses of unusual size that are owned by horse dealers and which have been offered to him for the use of MT Taft What he re- gards as a curious phase of the horse market, so far as it concerns large steeds, is the fact that in spite of denials that he is contemplating the purchase of mount for Mir Taft there is constant increase in the number of animals offered.

Remedy For chokina.

Raising the left arm as high as you can will relieve choking much more rapidly than the act of humping ones back" said physician. "and it is we'll that every one should know fl, for often person gets choked while eating where there Is no one near to thump him. Very frequently at meals and when they are at play children get choked while eating. and the cus- tomary manner of relieving them Is to slap them sharply on the back. The effect of this is to set the obstruction free. The same thing can be brought about by raising the left hand of the child as high as possible. and the re- lief comes much more quickly. In happenings of this kind there should be no alarm. for if the child sees that older persons or parents get excited the effect is bad, The best thing is to tell the child to raise its left arm, and immediately the difficulty passes away"

THE CLOSING SESSION.
Convention to Better Condition of
 Negro Has Knotty Question.

Clifton. Mass, Aug 20.-What was expected to be the choosing ses- sion. of the Fifth Clifton conference, composed of about 75 white and col ored persons who have interested themselves in furthering the educa- ton of the negro race, to-day con- sidered the question: How can the International Sunday School as sociation, whose work concerns the Bible study service of the church, with all it's agencies and influences, relate itself to the conditions and needs of the negro, through the medium of Sunday school organiza- tion and teaching?'
 Providing the conference decides that 1t is practical for the associa- ton to enter actively into the work, it is proposed by the executive com mittee to furnish instructors to the institutions already established for the education of the negro, to teach the students successful methods in organizing, conducting and teaching individual Sunday schools of the negro churches.

EPICUREs STUDY HOTELS.
Then They Go One Place or Anothsss as Fancy Dictates.

Then They Go One Place or Anothsss
 as Fancy Dictates.
 Epicures accustomed to dining in he. tels and restaurants study the policyi of each fashionable place and readily tell just why they go to one place oE avoid another. They have their likes and dislikes, aside from actual eating, regarding the walters, the music, tha ventilation and hundred and one other things casual visitor would fail to appreciate.
 For instance, at one restaurant only single portions are served for one per- son. At another, where the cooking ia equally good, half portions. nearly on quite as large as the single portions oe other places, are served for one per son. There was little dispute at q well known hotel over mistake in an order of trout and chicken that made a difference of several dollars on q check for rather simple dinner for two. It was settlcl out of court" as 1t were. and quite agreeably. but hotel managers regret and try to avoid these mistakes, especially when the customer is regular visitor. for they know he never forgets the details of his eating and is slow to forgive an error.
 Another pecuiarity of diners is as to the location of tables. Some persons cling to one table and feel aggrieved when they find another in their favor ite seat. Restaurant proprietors have tried to understand this pcculiarity of their patrons, but have to admit they fail to explain it.-St. Louis Republic.

Clock and Watch Fr..ks.

"A watch isn't exactly dirty when A requires cleaning" says a watchmaker. Tt may need cleaning when 1t hasn't even been worn.
 "A common cause of this is that ths oil in the works has dried up and be- come sticky, causing the watch to e slow or even to stop. In this case it not only wants cleaning. but also tho addition of fresh oil.
 The best oil for this purpose is oh~ tained from the jawbone of a porpolsa or kindred fish. Many watchmakern mix their own oil from various kinda

MAcARoNI IN ITALY.
To tho Working People This Food 10
 Luxury.

To tho Working Peopie This Fooo to
 Luxury.
 Every one pictures the Italian as eating macaroni What If 1 tell you that the Italians. taking them as a people, do not eat macar0ni, and yet this is virtually true. Macaronl in Italy costs to cents pound, and 1t Is too costly for common use. It is about as accurate to say that the italians i've on macaroni as that the Ameri- cans live on turkey. Macaroni to the working Italian is luxury. You often see young fellows on holiday in- dulging in dish in restaurant or before street cook stand about as Americans would eat ice cream. A customary workman's dinner is hunk of bread broken apart and "buttered" with n few traces of tomato sauce. As for meat, 1t Is the greatest rarity. and the only drink they can afford Is wa ter. which has the advantage of being cheap and filling. The Italians at home are not only temperate, but ab- stemious. Wine and beer and even tea, coffee and chocolate are forbidden to them on account of the. expense. In all Italy we saw no one under the in- fiuence of liquor. So also there is practically DO smoking. The govern ment has monopoly of the tobacco business. buys its supplies in quanti- ties direct in America and elsewhere and charges three prices for every thing The few tobacco shops keep a piece of smoldering tow tied at the doorpost. so that patrons and passers may light their cigars by it.-Los An geles Times.

DEBs IN THE RED SPECIAL.
The Socialists Urged to Pony Up for
 the Car That Will Carry Him.

New York. Aug 20.-An appeal has been sent to the members of the socialist party by Eugene V. Debs. who is to make a campaign trip throughout the country, for funds to keep up the trip. He says such things cost money and that it is the duty of the members to respond as tons of socialist literature will be distributed at the different stations.
 The special train. which the social ists call the Red Special. will give him the opportunity of reaching thousands who could not otherwise be reached. He continues:
 "The Red Special will throb with the spirit of the revolution and along its track the scattered embers of re- volt will be famed into a sweeping confagration. 1t will vitalize our propaganda. increase our power and augment our. numbers. The an- nouncement has already gone forth and 1t has struck dismay into the ranks of the enemy. We cannot now retreat The socialist party must make good"

In the Rarber's Chair.

 "No!' growled the man in the chair. "I want to be measured for a suit ok clothes"

 ''What work do you do in this shop?w Shave men and cut their hair. sir.~ Do you think man with no hair on his head would come here to have his hair cut"
 No. sir"
 "Then, presuming me to be sane man, but baldheaded, what would you naturally suppose I came for?'
 For shave"
 "Then why did you ask me if I wanted shave when took seat in your chair? Why didn't you go to work at once? If some of you barbers would cultivate habit of inferring from easily ascertained data, instead of developing such wonderful conver- sational powers, it would be of mate rial aid in advancing you in your chosen vocation and of expanding your profits. Do you comprehend?
 ''Yes, sir" replied the man as he be- gan to lather the customers face in q dazed sort of way. And he never even asked him If he wanted brilliantine on when the operation was performed.

ABOUT SUPPORTING GOMpERs.
Union Leaders Want to Know How
 Far They May Go.

Far They May Go.
 New York, Aug 20.-Officers of several unions in the American Fed. eration of Labor said yesterday that a clamor has arisen for another con ference of the heads of the national unions to get an understanding Of how far the unions will go to support Samuel Gompers in his campaign policy. 5. J. Landers of the nation. al executive committee of the United Garment Workers of America sai that he had been talking with other national officers and the general sen timent was that no time should bc lost in calling such a convention to end the confusion on this point.
 Tt must be settled" he said, whether or not the policy of Mir Gompers is to be supported. do not say that the majority of the unions are not ready to support it, but something must be done at once to put an end to the confusion"
 Committeeman Landers also said that there will be a convention of thO VuiioiS ol iuc OERdHS Ol the unions in the American Fedora tion of Labor in Chicago on Septem- Der l to agree on political pro- gramme. The editors of 40 of these organs would be present, he said, as well as a large number Of editors of the official organs of cen tral labor bodies in the different cities.
 The appeal of Samuel Gompers for contributions will not be considered by some locals because they do not believe in the introduction of politics at their meetings. Daniel Feather son. secretary of the New York dis trict council of the Brotherhood of Carpenters. which has. about 17,0OO members in about twenty locals in this city, said the union carpenters generally would resent the introduc ton of an appeal of the kind.
