If Sheriff Henry had been measured,
and fitted by Merchant street Martin
he could not fiji the Prison niche bet
ter than he does. And we all know
what fine fits Mr.. Martin makes; and
we can but hope, too, he gives fits,
whenever his patrons do not walk up
and pay their little |. v. us.
But as the tailor has never intimated
a word On the subject of bills, we
suppose they all do Cand nothing due)
and that is why his bank account
grows so fast.
Whenever we visit the Prison, so
far as the GOODNESS and the perfect air
of cleanliness are concerned, we really
feel that we would like to stop there
longer time much longer (not a full
term) than we do or can. We have
not, as yet, trieu the menu; but when
ever we have looked into the kitchen,
it far and beyond beats any restau-
rant, even the Union Grill, in order and
nicely of appointment; and, as for the

all were really pretty; and why
shouldn't they be, now? L. o. Boyd
was in charge and we told MIN, he had
made an entire success of the room
to our mind and was in his right
place, and so we gave Sheriff Henry
credit, for his usual discernment in as
signing prisoners to their right voca-
ton, so far as may be, under the limit
ed conditions. 1t is a great gift in
any position to have the grace (the

Now, we are reminded of that mighty
! and wise King Edward VII whose natal
day has but just been hailed with de-
light and salvos Of praise around the
i entire globe; his majesty seems not
only to have a sixth sense at all crises
but, really, second sight, mentally.
What a grasp Of intellect that can
not only adjust, and keep perfect bal
ance, in his own extensive domains
ION which the sun never SETS" but
can also mediate and settle wars-make
and keep peace, for his neighboring
nations.
With all his multitudinous calls
royalty can still find time to patronize
the drama and art and science in every
form-even commanding men of fame
and note to come to him, that he may
personally, show to them marked love

Papke need have little worry about
the San Francisco fans wishing to see
him. There is more curiosity ex-
pressed among tie followers of pugil-
ism about the Dnqueror of Ketchel
than about any fighter who has trained
here for long tine.
The very convincing manner in
which Papke disposed Of Ketchel in
Los Angeles makes him a great figure
in the eyes of puyilistic fans, and all
indications seem 20 lead to the con-
clusion that when 2apke dons the mitts
with his sparring partners for a work
out at Shannons Sunday afternoon
the capacity of the gymnasium
will be fully tested.
1t has been long time since a fight
err with the pleasing personality that
Papke possesses las been seen here.
Billy is simply brtmful of good humor
and boyish enthusiasm and all the fans
that have seen him so far have taken
very kindly to the champion. The
more the fans see Of Papke the more
they are certain to like him, for he
is a modest, good natured chap with
none of the fads and fanCies which
some other fighters affect and which
lessen their popularity in the eyes of
the followers of the game.

Hanninoss From Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily'
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found In the reflection that misery
never lacks the company 1t loves. we
all have our troubles, and some OF US
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
in number as they are disagreeable IN
association. The vast majority OF hui
mans are normal and disposed, there
fore. in conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent Of clouds
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession Of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes a cripple OF effort
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon'
sciously the certainty Of death, but
too little cognizance is taken of the
fact that the effect Of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really Is
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
Harvey in North American Review.

The scramble for seats in the house
Of commons is regulated by certain
rules. A member present at prayers
has a right to the place he then occu-
pies until the rising Of the house.
Each evening stands absolutely indie
pendent and by itself. and therefore
the title to a seat secured by attend
ance at prayer lapses at the termina-
ton of the sitting. On the table In a
little box is a supply Of small white
cards with the words "At prayers in
large old English letters. Obtaining
one of these cards and writing his
name on it under the words AT pray
ers." the member slips it into q re-
ceptacle In the bench at the back OF
the seat and thus secures the place
for the night against all corners. He
may Immediately leave the house ana
remain away as long as he pleases.
The place may be occupied by another
member in the meantime, but when
ever the master of the seat, the gen.
tleman whose autograph is written
on the card in the little brass slit, re-
turns to the chamber the temporary
occupant Of the seat must give place to
him.
