These hackers are giving members
Of the large companies considerable
uneasiness. They are the free lances
Of the taxicab world and are frequent
ly found operating with a dummy
meter by means of which unthinking
fares are required to pay any sum that
the driver thinks they are able to af-
ford. In appearance the hacker
looks about like any other taxicab.
That is part of the game, as one officer
of a motor car company expressed 1t.
But the "hacker" has the advantage
of it's rivals. because it Is not subject
to the same city. ordinances. 1t may
go rowing about. picking up fares
wherever they may be found. which
the company owned cars cannot do.
The "hacker" consequently Is being
freely blamed for the complaints
which are flooding the offices of the
big concerns.
Like many another layman Of notable
oratorical ability, the governor OF the
state Of New FORK Is not averse tC
making use of the pulpit when the op
portunity offers. At a recent memorial
service In honor of the late Rev. DR.
Theodore L. Cuyler held at the La
fayette Avenue Presbyterian church
in Brooklyn, Governor Hughes eulo
gized the great divine In words which
were remarkable for their theological
breadth and freedom. The following

THE GRAND STAND PLAYER.
He Is To Be Found Practicing His De-
ception In All Walks OF Life.

There are too many grand
stand players. We have them in
every walk of life II you watch
baseball game you will see a
fellow who wears a loud sweater
and who poses in the field, He
will run like a deer when it is
unnecessary. When he makes a
poor slide he gets up and limps
away as though he was badly in
jured, and if be had not been he
would have made the base. The
grand stand player is in church
and in the lodge, When things
are quiet and there is only the
midweek prayer meeting, the
grand stand player has nothing
to say. But when the church is
full and something is up, Mr..
Grandstand Player is sure to get
up, and, with flourish of
trumpets, make a great bluff.
He's at church socials and tells
all about it. He never does any
work, and he manages to get his
hands on all the honors floating
around. He never gives a cent
to any good cause without first
standing on top of his house and
yelling so the town will notice
him. The grandstand ''guy"
works hard to fool the people and
thinks he is fooling the Lord.
He may occasionally make his
bluff work with some unsuspect-
ing brother, but he hasn't fooled
the Lord for a second. .-Ander-

Hurt BY A Jack.

Last Thursday, while r. r..
Guthrie was attending to his
duties in care of a jack, the ami
NAL fell upon him carrying his
body to the ground. Mr.. Guthrie
was badly injured by having his
thigh broken in two places. The
lower fracture was in tho middle
of the middle third and the upper
at the junction of the middle and
upper thirds Of the femur. This
is a very serious injury to a man
of his age. His son, DR., Y. G.,
Guthrie of Jesup, and Dr.. j, W,
Morris OF Denton were called and
rendered the necessary surgical
attention. Friday morning Mr.,
Guthrie was reported resting well
during the preceding night and
doing as we'll as could be expect

pounds Of sugar. There's the scales"
The applicant wreathed his face in
the amiable smile all statesmen wear
and weighed out the sugar with dis
patch and accuracy. He put on too
little sugar at first; he added gently
full half pound before the scale bal
anced.
You'll do" said the grocer "You
understand the scale trick. 1t is plain
that you learned your trade in the

Nine. Japy, Is supposed to have been
Incidental to the killing of Steinhell
lie was the man 1t was desired to get
out Of the way. Steinheil, his wife and
Nine. Japy lived together. The wife
was found bound and gagged in bed,
and at first she declared that she had
been thus treated by three men and a
woman, all unknown to her.
1t is now learned that Nine. SteinheIl
was receiving the visits of several
wealthy men, among them a Maurice
Borderel, and that she had promised
each Of them that she would marry
him In event Of her becoming widowed
or divorced.
Testimony from every quarter seems
to upset completely the charges of the
royalist press that the late President
Felix Faure was the victim Of criminal
dealing, but even NJ. Dupuy, his pre-
mier, does not deny that Mme Stein-
he'll was with him shortly before his
mysterious death in 1890.
During her confession Nine. Stelnheil
was in great distress of mind and
sobbed out: 81 hope to justify myself
before a man whose love | have now
lost forever" This man is said to be
French nobleman and in his identity
is believed to lie the key to this ro-
mantle tragedy.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Nurse Meyrick was sleeping on a couch
in the dressing room. 1t had been placed
so near the dor of communication that
she had full view of her patient. He
had just sunk into tranquil doze, and
she had followed his example, when a
faint sound, like an opening door, reused
her, and a moment after she caught. a
glimpse of whte-robed figure with long,
fair hair. A young girl in loose dress
ing gown was standing by Mr.. Merle's
bed. Nurse Meyrick's quick eyes discern
ed that one arm was bandaged and in
splints. 1t must be the young lady, she
thought, who had been injured in the ac-
cident; perhaps she was light headed.
The next minute she touched her softly.
"Come, my dear, come" she said coax
ingly; "you ought not to be out of your
bed at this time Of night; let me help you
back, there's dear young lady," for Mis-
sie's wide, feverish eyes alarmed her.

Short Suggestions.

Scaling fish is easier If first dipped
in boiling water.
Try a little baking soda and hot wa.
ter when cleaning kitchen utensils.
Dissolve tablespoonful of rock am
monia in the bath. This makes the
water soft and invigorating.
Wheat bran placed in coarse flannel
bags is excellent for cleaning dust from
delicate wall papers.
Pulverize teaspoonful of borax; put
1t in your last rinsng water and your
clothes will come out white instead of
yellow.
To keep clothes from running where
the colors are not fast" use cupful
Of salt to each gallon of water when
washing them.
Do not use soap in cleaning marble
table tops and mantels. 1t yellows
them. Better results are had from
washing with water softened with am
monia.
When cutting tomato some prefer
to pass the knife frequently over the
freshly-cut surface Of large onion.
The resulting flavor is indescribably
delicate.
