HUMAN NATURE THE SAME

From Charles de Rocks IL Homme de
 la Nature ct l'Homme Police"
 Usages, customs, language. fashions change, but the world remains ever the same; for l mean by world, not only the brilliant circles of cap ital, but also the inhabitants of the smallest hamlet, the savages of Florida or the native of Java. You affirm that in society one is neither frank nor loyal. But is the countryman very frank, who, with his simple language, his naive air, tries to sell you bad piece of land, to dupe you in all the markets he visit with you to set you astray even when you in- ouire your way of him? Is that Javanese very loyal, who, hidden in the environs of Batavia, waits in the darkness for the passing of a traveller. to let fly an ar row at him, which he has taken care to dip in a poison that renders the wound mortal? Nevertheless these people are the children of nature Society has not corrupted them, but you see that nature has not caused them to be born free of vice Believe me, my brother, there IS something of human nature everywhere. and we are not born any better on the banks of the Ganges than on those of the Seine. What renders us better is instruc- ton, for this enlightens us.

ONE AS BAD AS THE OTHER

From the Kansas City Times.
 A rather turgid orator, noted for his yerbosity and heaviness, was once as- signed to do some campaigning in min ing camp in the mountains. There were about 50 miners present when he began. But when, at the end of a couple of hours, he gave no sign of finishing, his listeners dropped away. Some went back to work, but the majority sought places to quench their thirst, which had been aggravated by the dryness of the discourse.
 Finally there was only one auditor left dilapldated. weary looking old fellow Fixing his gaze on him, the orator pulled out a large six shooter and laid 1t on the table. The old fellow rose slowly and drawled out:
 "Be you goin' to shoot if go?"
 "You bet l am," replied the speaker. Pm bound to finish my speech. even If I have to shoot to keep an audience
 The old fellow sighed in tired manner and edged slowly away, saying as he did so:
 Well, shoot if you want to. may jest as we'll be shot as talked to death.'

THE ACTORS CLOTHES

From the Chicago Post.
 Our principal actor of whims was MT.
 Mansfield, as has been made known vari-
 ously. One whim of his is related by Fritz Schoultz, the costumer.
 When it came to the staging of ''The First Violin,' Mansfield was keen to get garments with character in them and found that of all places Schoultz's was the one that could supply him with red ingotes He was delighted with them, in- troduced them-and at the end of the Chi cago engagement absolutely declined to return them.
 The matter of getting stage clothes with character is interesting in itself. Second hand shops supply the most, although on occasions an actor has been known to ap- proach laborer on the street and make him an offer for his weather beaten coat. William Norris, lately returned to us, made an extensive hunt in New York for clothes characteristic of his part in ''The Children of the Ghetto"
 He found his quarry on the street, made his bargain and was to have the odd gar ments that night They arrived. neatly secured and pressed and with every ves' | tigc of character missing

and Connecticut and New Jersey, for all these states have democratic gov ernors, and are represented in Con- gress by a majority of democratic representatives
 Governor Harmon no doubt consid- CTS himself as the man of the hour, but he does not represent an excise tax or revenue tariff in the distinct individual sense that MT. Underwood does. He did not battle for either in a turbulent House as Mir. Underwood did.
 If these are to be the chief issues in this campaign then MT. Underwood and not MT. Harmon is the logical candidate of the democratic party at Baltimore. Both an excise tax and a revenue tariff would pull toward a lower cost of living, and they will as- suredly be the issues the campaign will turn on. This is why Oscar Un- derwood can carry the doubtful" northern states when Governor liar mon possibly could not because he is not directly identified with either an excise tax or a revenue tariff.

PUPPY ADOPTED BY CAT

Philadelphia Telegram to the New York
 Tribune.
 Two little maltese kittens and a bull terrier just as tiny. nursed by the mother of the kittens, is the unusual spectacle to be seen in the stable of s. K. Moore, on Turner street, west of Nineteenth street The puppy shares with the kittens the care of the mother cat, which bathes him and feeds him as carefully as she does i.er own litter,
 The kittens and the puppy are each about a month old. A week ago the mother of the puppy died, and it was de- cided to try the experiment of placing 1t with the kittens. The mother cat took kindly to the idea and has been so watch ful of the puppy that it is in fiourishing health.

"BENv PULLMAN

From the New York Sun.
 Senator Tillman of South Carolina, broken in health and believing that his days are numbered, pleads with his con- stituents to be allowed to die in harness. When he says T have a ripe experience and thorough knowledge of the workings of the government and have many warm personal friends in the departments and in both branches of government he states the highest qualifications of a senator, and no one can gainsay him.
 Sum up MT. Tillman's merits and they will outweigh all his shortcoming, all his mistakes and all the strictures that can be put in the other scale. When he came to the Senate every mans hand was against He fought his way to the front rank of senators by sheer ability, and the late George F. Hoar of Massachusetts, to name one ofrthe great republican senators of a generation, recognized Mir. Tillman's worth and became his friend.
 In MT. Tillman's desire to serve South Carolina for another term in failing health
 he has no ambition to gratify: some thought of his fame may move him, but usefulness to his people is paramount with him. If his body is crippled, his mind is at the service of South Caro-. lima. A record of Is crowded years in the Senate should render his presence in the primary campaign unnecessary It is sim ply a question whether South Carolina will discard faithful servant.

Tie Birmingham Ad Club

Tt would Joe a feather in Birming- hams cap if the ad club ranked in the great convention of Associated Ad Clubs Of America, to be held in Dallas as one of the strongest, but there is ev- cry promise of its being the strongest second to none." said business man.
 Birmingham has more things to keen it in the spotlight than any other city of approximately its size. It is we'll ad- vertised throughout the world as a rap idly growing city. The government cen sus did a great deal for it, but since the census was taken Birmingham has grown at a faster rate than ever be- Tore. The Ad club is composed of wide awake, progressive men, and when it's special train, carrying not less than 75 Birmingham boosters, rolls into Dallas the public will know that something out of the ordinary Is doing The clubs special will leave Birmingham Friday night of next week
 "New York, Chicago. St. Louis and other great cities will have large rep presentation in the Dallas convention, but the Birmingham Ad club will be the only one travelling in its own train
 or as President John Sparrow puts it | 'under it's own steam"

From Brander Matthews Pen and Ink. ''
 Certain jests like certain myths, exist in variants In all parts of the world Com paratiye mythologists are diligently col lecting the scattered folklore of all races; why should they not also be gathering together the primitive folk humor? Can not some comparative philogist recon struct for us the original jest book of the Aryan people? It would be very interest Ing to know the exact stock of jokes our forefathers took with them m their migra- tions from the mighty east It would be most instructive to be informed just how far they got in the theory and practive Of humor. It would be a pure joy to dis cover precisely what might be the orig inal fund of root jests laughed at by Teu- ton and Latin and Hindu before these races were differentiated one from fn- other by time and travel and climate. I wonder whether the pastoral Aryan knew and loved an early form of Lambs favor ite comic tale, the one in which mad wag asks the rustic whether it is his own hare or a wig? And what did the dark haired Iberian laugh at before the tall blond Aryan drove him into the cor ners of Europe? It probably was some practical joke or other, in which a bone knife or flint arrow head played the chief part. The records of the Semitic race are familiar to us, but we know nothing or next to nothing about the humor of the alleged Turanians.

THE CURE.

LIE COISE. Quite merrily we trip along
 When luck our way is going, But when our little plans go wrong, What signs we are bestowingl What frowning looks we wear, alas, All drearily complaining, As if the grief would never pass That ever more is paining. Tine genial sun may smile his best We plod along unheeding; Pale sorrows arrow to our breast With deadly aim is speeding. The landscape may be fair to view, And all the world inviting, But we're so overcome by rue, Fen beauty's smile is blighting. How sad that mertals eer could be h case so melancholy! , Tls very wrong. as you'll agree, When we might still be jolly. By just forgetting inner woe And seeking joy around us, Wed soon a fairer visage show And troubles neer confound us.

One Mans Hobby

They say that hobby is a busy mans relaxation" said member Of the Ad club.
 Some people make fad of collect ing etchings, rare bits of satsuma china, fancy and odd walking sticks. antique furniture and So on. All of these collectors are genuine enthusia sts but for simon pure, dyed -the-wool collector Mir. J. Rosenberger must be awarded the palm. His collection of ,etchings, photogravures. models, etc, of elephants is probably one of the most comprehensive extant. One of the rarest which he prizes highly is bronze model of the white Siam elephant held us sacred by the Siamese in the fif- teenth century.
 Another almost priceless model is an exquisitely carved ivory elephant valued at about slO0. which Mr. Rosen- berg espied in Third avenue pawn shop window and picked up for song. Besides these and many other models Mr. Rosenberger has in his library books of all kinds, treating on the ele- phant and his genealogy. His library looks like veritable elephant zoo and he is considered such an authority on elephants that recently he was request ed by a book publishing house to pre-

ALExANDER's RAGTIME RIDE

From Fred c. Kely's Washington Letter
 to the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 Representative Alexander of Missouri was obliged to hasten to Albany, a little town in his district from a point 10 miles away, to attend an important political conference, and the only possible way he could get there was on an early morning freight train. He learned that the freight train never carried passengers, but. as It was his only chance, he determined to climb aboard anyhow and see if he couldn't persuade the conductor to regard his case as exceptional
 When the conductor entered the caboose. just as the train was pulling out, the first thing he saw was Alexander.
 "Whutinell you doin here?" he inquired.
 I'm obliged to get to Albany this morn ing and this was my only chance" re- piled the candidate for Congress.
 Didn't you know this train didn't carry passengers?"
 Yes, I heard so, but it was so impor- tant for me to get to Albany I thought we could arrange it."
 Well, we can't arrange it." growled the conductor. T couldn't carry my own brother. If I took you I'd probably lose my job. So I'll have to throw you off,"
 Perhaps you can put me off," said Alexander, but 1t means a lot to me to get to Albany. If I miss this conference it may mean that I'll be defeated for Con- gress.''
 I'm sorry," said the conductor, "but l couldn't carry you if you were running for President. What are you, anyway, a democrat or republican,"
 I'm democrat" Alexander told him.
 "Oh, we'll" said the conductor, "I'll take you over. Got any chewin' tobacco on you?"

Ratifying the Income Tax

Thirty-two states, including Ari- zona. have ratified the income tax amendment and only four more are {. .needed before a proclamation can be issued making the proposition the six teenth amendment of the federal con- stitution.
 Only five states have definitely re- iected the proposition-Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island and West Virginia, and any one of these five is free to change it's vote. The legislatures of Louisiana, Massachusetts and Virginia have split over the amendment, and eight other states have not acted, namely, Flor ida, Minnesota, New Mexico, Penn sylvania, Utah, Vermont and Wyo- ming.
 Out of the 16 states named foui will be found to acAaffirmatively or the proposition. Probably full hall of them will do so before next spring All expert observers concede that ths proposition is toAbecome part of th' constitution, and that ratification vii speedily follow a democratic victory sn the November election.
