Cured 4 few months ago. Judge Ter
rell and his friend Dancy had heated
discussion over the payment OF a IS
cent lunch. 1t was compromised by
both paying for their own lunch. /
seldom see the two drOmeOs together
now. Dancy has gone into the thea
ter business, or rather he has taken
up the work that white man left
undone. DanCy says that he means
to make the enterprise a success.

on those number of shares has no
string to it. Sidney Is very fond of
indorsirg notes. The last one that he
indorsed will keep a tab on his bank
account for two or three years. He
believes in helping a man in hard luck,
even if he has to foot the bill.

lower his eloquence when in one OF
his flights, 1t would have the same ef-

his force when he confines himself

looking after the interest Of the de
positors of the Freedmen's Savings
Bank. The Captain is chaperoned by
Barney Mickey. The Captain says
that Barney possesses great virtues
Then, the great thing that the Captain
is doing, he Is not charging the de

marked 4 few days ago that he had
spent over a thousand dollars of his
own money and he has not accepted
a penny from single person.
wonder if his chaperon can say as
much. Barney always looks after the

for his health, and no one knows this
better than the gentIemanly Charlie
at headquarters.
