There have been several close calls of late and it behoves some one to look out.

The late Alexander Shepherd, in his
life time known as Boss Shepherd"
has recently had a statue erected TO
his memory in Washington City. He
was made governor of the territorial
district of Columbia by President
Grant. and from bog and morass. made
it one of the most beautiful cities in
the world. He was accused. however,
of feathering his own nest, and is said
to have enriched himself from the
public treasury the same as Tweed
had done in New York City at the
same time. What Shepherd did for
Washington City Tweed did for New
York City. The parks and the streets
that now make New York so much ad-
mired was the work of Tweed He did
more to beautify it and give permanent
value to it than all the others who had
control of it combined, and some day
there will be erected to his memory a
statue, for if any man deserves one it
is William NJ. Tweed.

SEVERE ON eEARD

The passage of the Beard diSfran-
chisement bill by the Florida legisla-
ture would and could possibly d. no
good. But it would stamp the Florida
legislature as the sublimest and most
eminent collection Of asses ever
punched. 1t is hardly within the prov
ince of decent discussion to properly
characterize such idiocy. 1t is no
wonder the south is held in scarcely
disguised contempt when such things
are undertaken in all seriousness. The
only way to account for the passage
of the bill through one chamber is to
take it for granted that senatorial
courtesy has gone daft under the lead
ership of an unbalanced mind.-Tam-

THE sUFFRAoETTE COCKTAIL

The suffragette cocktail is the lew
est American drink.
ANY other kind Of a cocktail makes
a man want to go home and beat his
wife. The new drink has exactly the
opposite tendency. Two or three Of
the new drinks make a man go home
and relinquish his position as head Of
the household to hts wife and accord
her all the privileges he now enjoys
as a citizen.
That's true. for it has already been
tried A Hennepin avenue bartender
invented the new drink. Here's his
recipe:
Sloe gin, French vermOuth and ltal-
ian vermouth in equal parts to make a
gill: mix in a cocktail glass. add a
dash of orange bitters, twist in two
strips of lemon peel and serve.
One makes a man willing to listen
to the suffragettes' proposition.
Two convince him that it has some
merit.
Three make him a missionary. will

four make him go home and wash the
