Diplomacy.

A spring wagon full of all kinds Of
potted plants stopped in front of a
house in the Bronx few days ago
and the householder and his wife, who
are deeply interested in Horticulture,
looked at the flowers with a view to
making a purchase for the improve
ment of their garden. The vender
ratified of the names of the varieties
of roses and other flowers, but moth
ing in his stock seemed to interest the
couple. Finally. he pointed to a pot
and said: There's something you
should have for window boxes or hang
ing baskets" What is it?' asked the
man. The vender looked hard at the
prospective customer, and, mistaking
him for Jew, whom he feared he
might offend, said: THAT? That's a
Wandering Hebrew" II didn't want
the vine any more than 1 wanted the
Group" said the man from the Bronx,
"but we bought 1t just as a reminder
Of the Wandering Hebrew"

Little Story Suggests improvement on
Crockett's Words Of Wisdom.

The other day 4 man travelling on q
shore line train noticed, protruding
from an overhead rack, a dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to friend. He knew that his friend
always got of at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not In the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped of the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After
some discussion and a mild protest
on the part Of the conductor that 1t
wasn't a part Of his duty, the suit
case was put of at the next station,
with instructions to send 1t back on
the first train the other way
=. The man, feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey. ....

Many Missed opportunltx.

One of Australians colonists, vet
eran OF so years, has just published
his "reminiscences. While walking up
George street, Sydney, in 1885, he
heard bellman announcing the first
sale Of allotments in the new town
ship and predicted that it would be a
grand city some day. Yes, city OF
kangaroos," interjected scoffing spec
tator. Hardly bid could be elected.
A few years later the gold discoveries
did rapidly convert the township Of
Melbourne into a great city and the
lucky people who had bought allot-
ments for 800 or $3.50 found their
value increased to 100000, $3.50, 900
and in some cases even $3.50, 200.

DOES BRANDY IN POUND CAKE
 BAR IT FROM STATE FAIR?

About to mix the mysterious ingre- dents that are put into that rare com position termed a pound cake." a Montgomery woman paused in appre- hension when 1t was suggested to her that she was near to doing an unlawful thing her recipe calling for glass of brandy.
 The pound cake was to be made for exhibition at the State Fair. and since no real pound cake is complete or gen. uine unless 1t contains the time-hon- ored glass of brandy, the gentle house. wife was appalled, at the mere men ton of the Fuller law.
 Now brandy. as such, Is prohibited by the Fuller law, but Is brandy, brandy, when thoroughly mixed In a pound cake? Does 1t not then properly be- come pound cakeT
 No tippler would attempt to get drunk on pound cake. He who eats pound cake eats pound cake for itself and not for the brandy that Is in 1t.
 It Is true that the Fuller law prohtb- It's the exhibition of any prohibited liquors, and brandy Is among the mum Der. But if a pound cake Is placed on exhibition at the State Fair. is the brandy in 1t placed on exhibition?
 Is the cake, as a whole, the exhibit or can it be analysed and It's compo- nent parts said to be separately on ex- hibition?
 However the woman deplores the condition which makes 1t necessary Tor her to consult lawyer before mixing q pound cake for exhibition purposes.

the different counties nave secured copies of the poll tax and registration lists. They are going over these lists carefully and 1t Is their evident pur- pose 10 hold the voting as closely to those lists as possible. In the counties like Montgomery and some others this will make no differences because the election law has been strictly en. forced and only qualified voters have been allowd to participate In the elections. But in a number of coun- ties the election officers nave not been accustomed to scan the lists too care fully. In the rural districts the elect ion officers frequently allowed any white man of good character and standing to vote. and did not examine the list to see whether his poll tax had or had not been paid.
 1t Is notable that this was done in the rural districts. .whiie in the towns and cities the voter had to measure up to every qualification. But this time the amendment forces are going to re- quire the election officers to meet the letter and spirit of the election law and to permit only these to vote who have both registered and paid their poll tax This is regarded as an important part of their campaign and they are working on 1t.

New York, Oct 24.-with the excep- ton of a reception at the Hotel Astor to William Randolph Hearst. the h. dependent or Civic Alliance candidate for Mayor. political activity in Great CT New York today centered almost wholly in the pulpits.

 All three. however. will be on their feet tomorrow. and will speak almost ceaseiessly, until election day. Novem- Der 9.
 In some puipits today. politics was touched upon with almost as much vehemence as campaign orators have shown during the week; in others the pastors confined themselves to yelled references in sermon and prayer.
 "The issue Is the defeat of Tam many Hall" said the Rev. pr. Robert S. MacArthur. of the Calvary Baptist Church. in addressing his current events class. "Tammany is the vilest political organization the world has ever known," he contiuued;S There Is not today in any iand such a band of political pirates as that of Tannaany Hall Its present boss is master of our Mayor. When our Mayor was studying science and philosophy in Princeton, the present boss of Tam many Hall was washing glasses be- hind bar in the 'gas house district This man Is now king of New York. It Is amazing that intellectual, patri- otic Americans submit to the rule Of the coarse, ignorant, tyrannical czar. Such a rule brings contempt upon the city and upon a Democratic govern ment If Judge Gaynor Is elected. this same boss will be his master.
