PRIVILEGE OF PEACE OFFICER.

Paul Armstrong, the playwright,
has his noble chest decorated with a
gold badge showing that he is a spe-
cial deputy sheriff. Obviously this
is of prime Importance in the mat

Some one, however, asked him of
what use it was to him.

THE LILY-LIKE ONION.

The onion, strange as it may seem,
comes of an aristocratic family, from
the stock of which have sprung many
notable scions and lovely offshoots.
The humble onion is own cousin to
the stately lily, whether the arum or
the lovely Lenten lily, the lily-of-the-
valley or the fair, floating water lily,
all these being of the great liliaceous
race.
The onion has other notable con-
nections. Ii is also cousin to the
daffodil, or narcissus; and it is even
allied to the gigantic dragon tree of
Teneriffe, which bears little trace of
the seeming frail lily tribe, but is
nevertheless a monstrous lily.
Thus, it is plain, the onion is of
illustrious origin, though TO the or
binary observer there is nothing
classical or romantic about THAR

WAS SUSPICIOUS OF REPORTERS

Carnegie used to be very suspi-
cious of newspaper men. A reporter
went to see him about a situation in
the steel trade. Under a pretext of
showing the reporter his baby (now
Miss Carnegie) the ironmaster called
his wife into the room with the in
FAINT in arms. He kept her there
during the interview, which, after
all, amounted to nothing. In fact,
he would volunteer no more impor-
tant information on the subject than
his belief that the reporter would
find Carnegie article in a periodi-
cal Of much interest.
