Friends from all around, 200 strong,
more than half of them white persons,
flocked on May 80 to the house OF
Engine company No. "a, on Minneha-
ha avenue, where Mr.. Cheatam has
been holding forth as driver of Chem
ical company No. 7. They brought
him meerchaum pipes, good cigars
and tobacco, and all sorts OF other
gifts, and they all called him John
when they presented the mementoes.
The colored fire department men,
bers clubbed together and presented
him with a Masonic charm, and alto
gether Mr.. Cheatam says it was about
the most pleasant evening he ever
spent.
Mr.. Cheatam, who lives at 1920
Twentieth avenue S., was appointed
to the fire department May IA, 1888,
and has served as driver, pipeman,
lieutenant and captain. His pension
comes from the Firemen's associa-
ton, and his job as sexton will be at
the Central Baptist church, Fourth
avenue s. and Grant street. He is
highly respected by the members OF
his race, and owns his home. The
Star is glad to know that our daily
papers have given him due credit,
and we feel that we are honored to
have in our city such good race
representative who has made a clean
record in public service, and who has
received his well-earned reward.

ALMOST AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.

oh, who could wonder that she'd weep
When she heard Bill say in his sleep:
"You are a peach, darling, too
Come here, sweetheart. and I'll hug you"
"Oh, how 1 wish had never we'd
I'll kill myself she sadly said.
"And then perhaps when i am dead
He'll think of me and some tears shed"
And so when morning light had come
She quickly to the orchard run
To hunt limb both strong and high
Where she might hang herself and die.
When through the trees she heard once
more
Those words that her poor heartstrlngs
tore
"You are a peach, a darling too.
Come here, sweetheart. and I'll hug you"
"Ah ha! I'll kill that woman now
Before l hang on this high bough!
/ wonder if it is the cook
That Bills affections from me took.
''I'n murder her! I'll kill her quick
For playing such low, mean trick!
And so she crept among the trees,
Determined vengeance to appease.
But, 10, when near the chicken pen
She saw Bill huSging a fat hen,
While on his shoulders there perched two,
And near him the old rooster crew.
They were all eating from his hand
And cackling too, to beat the band,
While in his basket right near by
Fresh eggs were piled away up high
And when Bill saw her spying there
He cried: "Ah, there, my own true love.
so fart
You are a peach, a darling too.
Come here, sweetheart, and I'll hug you"

ERENZIED FINANCE.

If some European writers who do
this country in a few days and re-
turn posthaste to describe us Yanks
as mercenary, miserly, almighty dollar
chasers would just overhaul our gar
bage barrels and follow the carts to
the dumps they would find over 81 ,O0o,-
600 thrown away.
"Oh, that can't bew
eyes, million in feathers"
Every night we take our snore on
100000 tons of feathers, and this
doesn't include feather bed lightning
preservers, boil protectors and rooster
tails that bob up and down on mi
lady's thirty dollar bonnet.
Every twenty years all this feather
paraphernalia must be renewed, and
every year we buy 100000 pounds
from foreign feather firms. And it
has been estimated that we throw
more than this amount on the dump.
My friend, are you one of these fren.
zied feather financiers?
Save the feathers, and the dollars
will take care of themselves and you.
