UNCERTAIN WHAT WAS WRONG
Nervous Man Worried Whether the
Clocks Works or His Own
Required Attention.

A nervous little man stepped briskly
into a jewelry store with a medium
sized clock under his wing. He placed
the chTonOmeteT on the counter.
turned the hands around to about one
minute Of II o'clock, and told the ex-
pert behind the counter to listen.
TT keeps perfect time,' the custom
er said, but want TO find out If you
notice anything wrong with the way it
strikes"
The jeweler listened. There's moth
ing wrong" he replied with a grin,
after the clock had struck, except
that she strikes thirteen instead OF
twelve. That can easily be remedied." j"
The customer looked as relieved as
If he'd just awakened from a bad
dream.
That's just what I've always
thought ever since we've had the
clock" he burst forth. I've always
felt sure it struck thirteen. But no
one else in the family ever spoke of 1t,
and I was afraid to say anything
about IL for fear there was something
wrong with my own works. Well, it's
worth the price of having the thing
repaired just to find out was right. "

THE MODERN GIRL AT HOME
Dainty and Pretty, and All That, But
Their Ways Would Shock
Their Grandmothers.

The two girls had written, asking
the woman to tea. They wanted to
meet her, to see how she looked and
behaved, for some reason or other.
When she arrived she found a beauti-
full studio furnished in exquisite style,
for one of the girls was an interior
decorator. She found the two girls Of
much daintiness and prettiness and
exceedingly modest and lovely, so
much so that she was half afraid to
breathe in their presence. afraid she
might say or do something to shock
them, having lived for some years in
Bohemian set. She drank the tea
they gave her and talked on different
topics which she thought would inter
est young girls. Finally one Of the
girls, pointing to a cigarette stub in
an ash tray on the window sill, said
apolOgetically:
Il suppose that shocks you awfully,
doesn't it? It belongs to Stella. She
will smoke now and then"
The woman took heart TT doesn't
shock me so very much" said she.
I'D like one"
Stella hastened to find the box of
cigarettes.
That was why I left home" she
said. MY father told me I had either
TO leave home or quit smoking"
The other girl, in the beautiful and
dainty white lawn, with small pink
roses in it, arose and going to the
drawer Of her desk brought out box.
She opened it and took out a small
perfumed cigar.
These" said she, suit me better.
Cigarettes are too mild"

Unfortunate New Workers.

In New York we have become so
hardened to eating the strange prod
uets Of the cold storage vaults that
the fresh foods of our childhood
would probably seem unpalatable. To
the diner accustomed to the pale,
tasteless chicken Of our hotels and
restaurants, a real full.blooded broiIer,
slain within the current year, would
taste strong" and obnoxiously as
sertive. Similarly, a really fresh egg,
neither iced nor partially hatched,

New Orleans, La, Set. II, 1900
She's my wife. We have lived to-
gether 80 years, The law can not
estrange us" Thus spoke Joseph
Lawrence, a white farmer, i'll the sec
ond criminal court, while he was
awaiting trial on the charge of mar
rying a Colored woman. Through
the arrest of Lawrence and his col
ored wife the police discovered a
hard situation. All around Lee Sta
tion the white farmers and fisher
men and other classes have intermar-
RED with colored people and reared
large families, regardless of the law
against such. A number of arrests
have been made, but it has been i'm
possible to convict one for the rea-
son that the white parties all went
on the stand and swore they were
colored. Just what the Prosecuting
Attorney can do remains to be seen.

THREATEN TO RESIGN.
There was somewhat of a sensa-
tion created n the law school ofFIow-
ard University last week. DR.. Thir-
kield informed the dean of the law
school, that the trustees of Howard
University decided to make a few
changes in the law department and
that it was decided to remove Prof.
w. II. Hart and Professor Richards
and appoint two members of the local
bar. Professor Layton Ereathed a ra-
ther long breath and informed DR.
Thirkield that if ProfHart was re-
moved he would resign, and Prof
Birney stated that he would resign
also.
Such positive declaration coming
from two men like Profs. Layton ant
Birnev caused Dr. Thirkield to stop
and consider. The matter IS at {
standstill, and just what action viii
be taken by the president is not a:
yet known; but it is stated that Prof
Hart did not weaken but demonstrate
ed his manhood.

School children in the crowded

corn and oats and wheat by those
names, but always refer to them as

She ended with a request for each
pupil to bring a few seeds the, next
day to be planted in the window
boxes. The following morning the
children appeared mostly with either
oats, wheat or corn. While putting
a few grains of each in the earth the

PLAY FOR RAILROADS.
Sporadic Policy Of River Improve
msnt Must Be Succeeded
By psfniss Plans

Corpus Christi. Texas.-Announcing
himself as an enthusiastic advocate Of
deep waterways, when such projects can
be shown to be practicable and necessary,
and declaring that the pieccmesl pro
eession by Jerks" policy Of Congress in
the past with reference to such improve
ments should be replaced with a definite
general plan for opening uP great ave
nues Of eommerc~, President Taft
aroused the delegates To the convention
Of the Interstate Inland Waterways
League, in session here, to enthusiastic
demonstration of approval
Continuing. the president said that in
addition to extending commerce, deep
inland waterways would serve a. the
best means Of controlling railroad rates.
In this connection he took occasion to
refer to the fact that in some localities
there Is a disposition 0. do injustice to
the railroads and to drive the CORPORA
tions to a system OF economy which
prevents the development of the country
through which they pass.
The president said Il was often the
ease that the citizens Of county would
90 to any extent to get a railroad to
come into the county. but once there.
not friend Of the railroad eould any
where be found, except perhaps the local
counsel.
The president urged q square deal
for the rniiroad. that they might not
