Sidney Lazarus' sIishaps

Never again will I laugh at a man when he slips on banana peel" said Sidney LazarusN yesterday evening. "Not II I won't even smile when see man chasing his hat across the street in gentle March breeze.
 Why? Well, this morning left home at 6:20 to catch o'clock train. When I reached First avenue and Twentieth street it was 10 minutes to T. and no Ter minal car was in sight. I rushed in the drug store to phone for a taxi and fell over a bucket of soiled water. That stopped me for only second. Just as I reached the phone Terminal car ar- rived and I ran out to catch 1t, The ice had just been delivered and I struck a slippery place on the sidewalk. My feet completely lost their head so to speak, and went right up in the air and down I went sliding into the gutter. Such a roar of laughter as went up from the spectators I have never heard before. Weber & Fields in their palmiest days never received such a round of applause as rewarded my flight through the air and my slide for the curbing.
 "The conductor held his car for me, and caught my train, but my feelings were hurt. to say nothing of a right leg and a perfectly good pair of trousers. Yes, sir, I have stopped laughing at mis- haps to other people"

WHIsKER REFORM.

W
 If men would devote as much loving their hair they would contribute greatly to increasing the dignity of the sex.
 A woman wouldn't think of coming down town without having her hair properly arranged. She combs 1t and fusses with it and pads 1t out with rats and puts wire cages under it and runs ribbons through it, and so she Is q vision of loveliness when she appears in the busy haunts of men.
 But man gives his whishers no at- tention further than to brush the egg shells or clam chowder out of them with the shoebrush. It never seems to occur to him that his whiskers might be made beautiful if he would devote one-half the time to them that woman gives to her hair. He might easily have made a wire cage to attach to his chin and then he could weave his whisxers around it in captivating styles and tie the ends together with pink or blue ribbon.
 The alfalfa editor gets tired of seeing the same old fashions in whiskers, when it would be so easy to devise new and striking ways of wearing them.
 There should be a Whiskers Club in Emporia. If such an organization were formed and the members held weekly meetings to exchange ideas and com pare notes, the results would soon be apparent. The towns whiskers would soon become distinctive and their repu- tation would cover the country

Tribute to Americas civil war veterans.l
They are marching with halting step
A hating step and slow
And many In those blue clad ranks
Have hair as white as snow;
Their youth Hes on the battlefields
OF forty years ago.
The faded, tattered fiags they bear,
All torn by shot and shell,
Are sacred embiems OF the dead
Who loved their country well.
How great their love and sacrifice
No human tongue may tell
Those serried ranks are thinning fast
That once with martial tread
The knapsack and the musket bore
Where Grant and Sherman led.
Their sleep Isl sound and peaceful
In the bivouac of the dead.
No more the freveille at dawn
Shall rouse them from their sleep;
No more shah wives and sisters mourn;
No more shall mothers weep;
Their names upon the roll Of fame
Times hand has craven deep.
And some lie on those hard fought fields
Where now the blue and gray
Clasp hands across the battle lines
Their blood has washed away.
Where once the tide of battle flowed
Their children's children play
The passing years speed swfftiy,
And silence round them wraps,
And to their listening ears there comes
No sweeter song, perhaps,
Than when the battered bugle sounds
Again the old call-"Taps"

From r tons of rock treated at the Citizens mill on Garden Island sometime last week. Charley Craw- ford got return equal to SIS 10 the ton.

 The ground from which the above mentioned IT tons was taken is the famous Rhoads' ledge. on Bedrock creek. Charley Crawford has a lease on this ground.
