She Lives in IouIsvIIIe.

A young woman whose name is
whose name is-well, If you can guess
it, is something like never mind
what her name is-startled everybody
within q certain block on Fourth ave-
nue. the other day. She proved then
that she doesn't believe in hiding her
light under a bushel. especially when
1t is needed by the other fellow.
A car was nearing a corner, and q
man was dashing madly down a cross
street in an effort to nab it before II
sailed by. It looked as though he
would miss it, though, and then 1t was
that the girl placed her fingers to her
lips and blew shrill blast that Peter
Pan would have delighted in, and
which is given only to the elect to
produce.
The car stopped. The fatigued run
ner clambered aboard, turning once to
bow his thanks to the laughing dam.

NO PLACE FOR NAUGHTY MAN
Aged SerVitor's Caution Couched with
Littlc Sentiment and Much
Sense,

A naughty citizen once Strolled in.
to the supreme court at Washington
when an argument was being heard
and took a seat in the inclOsure re-
served for lawyers. After he had
been there a few minutes an attendant
came over and asked him: Are you
a member of the barr"
The naughty person wasn't, but he
took out his card with a flourish and
handed it over.
The attendant received the card
gTavely, carried it to the clerk, who
glanced at it and gave some instruc-
tiOns.
A moment later the naughty citizen
was touched on the shoulder and
asked to retire.
''Why?" he asked. 4 sent up my
card. 1t usually gives me a seat in
any court in the land"
Certainly" said the attendant;
but please retire"
The naughty citizen did retire.
When he got out in the corridor he
fumed and fused a bit.
"Sir," admonished the aged negro
at the door, who has been there for
many years, think 1t over. Don't do
no persifagin' bout thf.t cot. II you

Empress Uses Typewriter.

1t is related that in passing through
her husbands library recently the at
tention of the empress of Japan was
attracted to a peculiar-looking ma
chine. On learning that it was a
typewriter, and having it explained
to her, she became interested and be-
gan to hit the keys. Now, 1t is said,
she does a good deal Of correspond.
ence for the emperor.
1t is further reported that Queen Al
exandra of England, Queen Maude of
Norway, the cZarina and the queen of
Portugal are all fond of using the
typewriter in corresponding with their
intimates.
It is probable that all Of them put
together do not use the machine as
much as Carmen Silva, the queen of
Romania, who rattles her poems and
stories on a typewriter.-St. Nicholas.

''Cap'n SpOOner. you're getting a

The captain glared at him.

PLEASURE TO BE PAID FOR
Daughters Steps in Ways of
Common Sense.

She was a very little maiden, and
she thought that Willy Smith, whom
she met at party, was the very mic
est boy she had ever seen.
Mummy" she told her mother the
morning after the party, 81 want to
write every day to Willy Smith; I
said I would"
"All right, dearie," was the cheerful
reply.
A very inky letter went of that day
to Willy Smith. But the next day,
when the small damsel had finished
writing her missive, she looked up at
her mother.
"Must / pay two pennies every time
I write to Willy Smith," she asked,
plaintively.
"Why, of course, darling" said the
mother.
But if I pay two pennies every
day to write to Willy Smith, I won't
have any pennies of my own"
mo, that is true"
Mummy" IN a pleading voice,
won't you give me two pennies for
my letter."
''NO, dear. l don't care to write to
Willy Smith. Why should l spend my
pennies on him?"
'Then," with sigh, 81 think won't
write any more to Willy Smith. I'd
rather have my pennies"

BIRTHDAY RECEPTION

DR.. S. L. CORROTHERS.
On Friday evening, December 3,the
friends and well-wishers of DR.. S. L.
Corrothers the powerful and popu
lar pastor of Galbraith A. M. E.
Zion Church turned out in force to
offer him the tribute of their high
regard and esteem. DR.. Corrothers
has remained eight years as pastor
Of Galbraith Church, the longest pas
torate in the history of the church.
He has raised large sums during that
period and taken in upward Of seven
hundred members. He has been
real pastor and Good Samaritan.
With regard to his public career,
Washington, D. C., recorded its
Judgment in the assertion of DR.. ].
Milton Waldron on December 6, that
Galbraith A. NJ z Zon Church was
Washington's Cradle of Liberty, and
DR.. Corrothers the John the Baptist
of the Negro race.
These considerations caused the
auditorium of Galbraith Church to
be early filled with well-dressed peo-
pie who Chatted pleasantly.
Mrs. Mamie West Tapscott, pres
ident of the Board of Stewardesses,
presided in a very gracious and thor
oughly pleasing manner. Then Hons.
John c. Dancy, Ormond Scott, Hen
~ Smith, Brother William Graham,
Stewart, Miss Emma Wallace and
Rec.C. c. Alleyne unlocked the gates
of eloquence and for two hours made
the walls of Galbraith Church re-
sound with the thunder tones or sill
very notes Of their inspired elo-
quence.
Mrs. Mary Shaw presented the
pastor with a purse of over $Ioo and
spoke in a heroic strain. DR.. Cor
rothers in his reply said that he has
endeavored to be a great big, broad
hearted man, afraid of nothing but
his God.
Then the audience went downstairs
and partOOk of an elegant supper
which had been prepared by the
Board of Stewardesses.
And still there is more to follow.
The friends of DIR. Corothers have
also fitted him with a commodious
study, which is located in the church
Thte walls have been beautifully pa
pered and the furniture, consisting
of a magnificent rug and splendid
oaken table and desks and fine hair
chairs and couch, cost upward of
$3.50. DR.. Corrothers' career indi-

Treating Tree Wounds.

Plastic slate, that is to say, mold.
able slate, is a mixture formed by
combining about one part of coal tar
and four parts of slate dust and is
recommended for covering large
wounds in trees. This mass must be
about the consistency of a not too
