Her Usual Line of Talk.

A certain Louisville social leader,
whom we will call Mrs. Fayette Coun-
ty, to avoid identifying her, was told
by her husband over the telephone
that he would bring a number of
guests home to dinner. The party
was altogether unexpected, and in ali
the house, which has become noted
for the generous and sumptuous din
ners spread in it, there was not
enough food.
Mrs. County got busy at once and
instructed her cook to order certain
supplies while she planned the rest
of the dinner. A little later Mrs.
County happened in the room where
the telephone was and was Mortified
to hear the cook talking ferociously
into the telephone, something as fol-
lows:
"An All want six dizen sof shell
crabs an eff yo' doan get dem up here
mighty quick Ah'll skin every one of
yo', ye low down-Who is dis?- Dis
is Mrs. Fayette County, dat's who dis
is, and All means ebery word All
says"

do you mean? You must not"
"Law'sy," returned the cook,
"that's all right, Miss Fay, All talks

Decay Of Ancient Virtues,

In an effete and immoral age, soured
by pessimlsm and stalled by sophisti-
cation, the simple virtues of other
times lose their hold upon the human
heart We are acid. We are cynical.
We laugh the maxims of the copy
books to scorn. A man in these de-
generate days who loves his wife and
proves 1t by bringing up the coal for
her, drying the dishes for her and act
Ing as her maid when Celeste Is on
holiday-that man we reward with
smokers behind the hand, as a scarce
ly credible milksop To take sulphur
and molasses in the spring-an act es-
teemed highly by our grandfathers-is
now to risk ribald ridicule. To quote
the Scriptures in ones daily discourse
Is to have expert accountants put
upon ones books To weep with Ca
mile is to be exiled from society. The
age, as we have said, is acid and cyni-
cal. 1t not only regards the ancient
virtues as clumsy cloaks for felony.
but 1t also insists upon treating them
as obnoxious in themselves.-BaltL-

The Unexpected Truth.

son to bring some apples from the
cellar. The child obeyed, and in the
kitchen found an especially large red
one which had been brought up the
day before, so placed it on the dish
with the others.
When they were passed this was
the apple the minister took, and feel
ing it so warm, remarked to his host
that the cellar must be very warm.
Did you not bring these apples

Ostrich Culture.

The first attempt TO raise ostriches
In Australia was made by Mr.. NAL
com, who in 1880 brought 100 young
birds from South Africa to South Aus
tralia. In the following year the par
lament of South Australia enacted
law which granted TO the first per-
son who should exhibit $50 ostriches
more than one year old about 2.400
acres of land suitable for ostrich farm
ing. The conditions were satisfied
by the South Australian Ostrich Com
pany, which was founded in 1886 with
capital of $4,000. The company
received land near Port Augusta on
Spencer Bay, but in spite of this as
sistance the company has never paid
dividend, although it now possesses
LOO ostriches, all Of which were i'm
ported from South Africa.-Scientifi

With its hopes and fears.

Ere it turns to tears"

The Best Show Yet.
This looks like about the best show
that was ever offered here. There is
not the least doubt that both Cullen
and Reilly are two of the gamest little
men that ever stepped into ring. 1t
may be that both are lacking to a GER
tain extent in the dream producer, but
this remains to be seen.
Cullen is now properly used to the
climate. He has trained absolutely
faithfully and so has Reilly. The clean
break rules will make a slight differ
ence, but only a slight difference as
they showed, last time they met, what
clean little boxers they both are.
The exhibition that they will put up
should be one of the cleverest and fast
est that was ever seen here. If Reilly
sticks to his clever boxing he has a
chance to get back the title. If he
resorts to smuggling, then it will doubt
less be all off with him as it was last
time. And that just abou3 sums up the
possibilities of the scrap.

Both Men Very Fit.
Trained to the very dot, full of life

for the gong to sound and get them
started. This morning will be a nervous
time for both of them. The long wait
through the morning and afternoon is
always trying, no matter how phlegma-
tie a boxer may be.
Reilly will probably visit most of the
boot-black stands and get his shoes
shined about twenty times. This is an
old stunt of his on the morning of a
bout. Cullen will probably stand on the
corner and smile that winning grin of
his, perhaps chewing gum or the end
of straw.
Good Preliminaries.
The preliminaries show promise of
large amounts of class. Sarconi, the
little bugler from Camp Very, has been
training hard and gaining speed and
eleverness under Charlie Reilly's tut
ton. He will be on for only four
rounds and can surely put up whirl-
wind go over that distance.
Sam Hop, who will box Sarconi, states
that he will have no excuses to offer
if he fall down this time. He has been
training faithfully with Cullen at the
Orpheum and seems to be in excellent
condition.
Sam is a thorough sport all the way
through and has many friends both in
pakeviIle and amongst the haole popu
lation. He never quit in his life and
is always game to the end. There are
many live ones who hope to see him
capture the heavy end of the purse.
