HITCHCOCK ONLY SMALL PROG

This is a democratic country sometimes. During the presidential campaign Chairman F. H. Hitch cock of the Republican national committee was coming east on the twentieth century limited when he asked that the train be stopped for him at Utica, N. Y., as he wished to get off and interview James S. Sherman for a few moments. The request was complied with, and one member of the Hitchcock party re- marked to the Pullman porter:
 ''Rather unusual to stop the train like this, isn't it?
 70, you don't cut so much ice, replied the porter a trihe contemp- tuously. "Last week we stopped at Tarrytown so John D. Rockefeller could get a paper"

HIS FEE A DRINK OF WATER
How Southern Gentleman Fulfilled Promise He Had Made in the
 Way of a Joke.

According to old timers, the 4te Col. Bob Taylor of Bonham once met a woman in the road as he was riding on horseback to hold court in Delta county, he being then district judge. The woman had jug of wa ter and the judge was thirsty.
 Being a man with a cheery word for every one, the colonel stopped her.
 My dear madam" he said, smiling, ''H you will give me a drink of cool water from wonder jug, when you want a divorce from your hus- band I will see that it costs you nothing"
 "Are you a lawyer?" inquired the woman, handing him the jug.
 The colonel explained who he was, and waving a farewell departed, leaving the woman gazing after him.
 The very next morning the wom- an showed up in the courtroom and asked for him. She explained that she wanted a divorce. She had been separated from her husband for a long while and the colonel had put an idea into her head.
 The colonel was game, however. He procured lawyer at his own ex- pense and in due course of law the woman was given divorce, and Col. Taylor would tell the joke on him. self often.-Dallas News.

FAITH AND WORKS.

When Christian Science began to find firm footing in Winchester the little son of a prominent woman who had embraced the faith and was urging others to take it up was out of school one day or two because of sickness. When the youngster returned, his teacher, who was we'll along in years and possessed an in- quiring mind, engaged the young ster in conversation.
 "Been sick, Joe?"
 "Yes'm."
 "Sick enough to be in bed? ?"
 "Yes'm." "What did your mother do for you, Joe, while you ached in bed ?" asked the teacher, now all expectan- cy for the reply.
 'She mended my trousers" isped Joe.-Independent.

There are "catty" women every where, if by 'catty" is meant wom' en given to petty spite and backbit' ing, and London's west end has probably not escaped. There arc ''cattv" women over here, too, just as there are militant sutfragettes and Salome dancers, and other un' pleasant ladies fond of the lime light.

HAS NOT BEGUN TO WORRY.

Although not yet five years of age the small heir to the throne of Rus sia is already colonel of several regi- ments of his fathers army. But all these dignities lie lightly upon his shoulders, for the chief joy of his life is huge gollywogg, dressed in blue and red, sent him from Eng land by Queen Alexandra. This, as a matter of fact, is the most treas ured possession of the royal nursery and when the rights of possession are questioned by his sister, the young colonel is not averse from us ing his fists in its defense.

the humorous American husband again. No. by
Jove! he would leave by the early train tomorrow,

Hamilton smiled grimly in the darkness he
called how Mr.. and Mrs. Haddon in Paris had urged
Passion Play. He had accepted their invitation
merely because he feared that if he stayed in Paris
he might meet again the Madonna with her hus-
band. The fact that his father, Church of England
clergyman was also to be in Oberammergau Sunday
for the play, had not weighed with him at all. He
had been quite content to meet his father in Rome,
had been their plan, since they both started out
travelling by different routes. He would now go on
to Italy in the morning and await the 'pater at
Rome After putting such distance between him
self and her, he would have to hope that Fate
would again tantalize him with glimpse of

EVIDENTLY TURNED OVER A
NEW LEAF

At Chicago, but $4,000 out of a
total of $4,000 having paid their per
sonal property taxes, collectors have
started out with furniture van to
collect eight million dollars or attach
the chattels.
This win be a new experience for
Chicago. For many years only
suckers have paid taxes in that
city, and the "wise ones have prac-
tically gone untaxed. BY collision
with dishonest deputy assessors bust
ness blocks valued at hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been assessed
at from $4,000 to $4,000. Personal
property taxpayers have allowed their
taxes to become delinquent, and then
by methods best known to themselves
have succeeded in having their names
stricken from the list before judgment
was entered against them.
AS a result the honest citizens of the
Windy City have paid taxes which
amounted to practical co~niseation of
their property. some years ago a law
was secured at the hands of the legis-
lature placing the maximum tax rate
in Cook county at 6 per cent, and ever
since citizens have been compelled to
settle on that basis.
