WERE MIGHTY FINE CHERRIES
Miss Armor Meant 70 Enjoy Them by
Herself, but Reckoned Without
Deaf Man.

Miss 4rmor was noted among her
fellow boarders for her reluctance in
sharing any delicacy she happened to
have She once had sent from her
home jar Of rich, old-fashioned cherry
preserves, which she displayed with
pride, but never saw At to open for
eating until one evening when she
knew that her five companions were
dinir Z out. Then with secret rejoicing
Miss Armor carried her CONNECTION to
the empty table. To her chagrn, the
waitress soon put transient man be-
side her. and the stranger, spying the
cherries, took a very plentiful helping
on lis plate, The maid was in high
glee, having herself felt the pinch of
Miss Armors stinginess, but she duti-
fully interposed.
Excuse me, sir" she said, but
thats a private dish"
TIE man looked blankly at the wait
ress and put a hand behind his ear
with the gesture of the very deaf.
That's all right" he answered pleas
sntly. You may bring me everything
you have"
The girl went away giggling, and
spread the news in the kitchen region
that retribution had overtaken Miss
Arm0r, while the people at the neigh
boring tables looked and listened with
all their might. Despite his deafness
the newcomer was inclined to be So

These are the best cherries I've
tasted for years" he told the cher

me help you to them"
He Immediately did SO, ladling out a
modest portion for her to sample, and
reple nishing his own plate Miss Ar
NOR gIared at him and said icily;
You need not trouble yourself.
They are all mine"
The stranger acknowledged this re-
mark with a courteous smile and bow.
My misfortune prevents me from fol-
lowing what you say" he regretted;
but | knew you'd like the cher
ries."
Tbs Jar was good-sized one. but by
the time the man had reached his
dessert course the bottom layer OF
fruit was uncovered. Twice Miss Ar

her own keeping, but both times the
agreeable stranger helped her to
small taste and kept the jar out of the
clutch OF her anxious hands. Finally
she settled back In her chair to wait
until he was gone, when she meant
to tell that snickering waitress what
she thought OF her, and to carry of
at least the remnants of her precious
preserves; but only the former salts
faction was permitted her. When

Arsenic in Vegetables.
m the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post
The two French chemists Jadin and
Astruc, who are conducting a laborious
examination to determine the exact
amount of arsenic in each of our edible
vegetables. have already accumulated
quite d formidable list of analyses. run
ming from artichokes and asparagus and
bananas to pumpkins, rice and walnuts.
Apparently they are examining but one
or two specimens Of each vegetable, This
alone would render the work of doubtful
value, If there were no other reason for
questioning it's utility. Since 1850 1t has
been known that arsenic occurs in several
common foods, and 1t is now believed to
be one of the most widely distributed
elements. It is found in animal tissues
as we'll as in vegetables Fortunately,
however, it occurs in very minute
amounts In such places. so minute, In
fact. that it's presence is hardly of scen-
tific Importance. For example. Jadin and

Want Issue Settled.

The arrangement committee was in Ses-

meeting the Parker forces announced
openly that they had the votes to elect
and said that if Mr.. Bryan desired to
ra.Se any issue IL would be better to set
tie the question now than later Leaders
Of the movement to nominate Speaker
Clark and GOV. Wilson decided that since
an issue was raised on the question of
progressivism as against the so-called
conservatism they would come ont for
progressivism and put forward candidates
against Judge Parker.
Meanwhile Charles +. Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hail. sent word by John A.
Mason secretary of the democratic state
committee OF New York. that the New
York delegation was anxious to have
Judge Parker chosen. as he had proved
himself to be loyal TO the democracy in
all its campaigns.
When the committee went into session
there was a general discussion over the
proposition TO adjourn the question of the
temporary craftsmanship until tomorrow
and then came the first lineup of the
day. with eight votes against the ad-
journment and seven votes for 1t. the
Parker adherents opposing any delay.
The nomination of candidates for tenn
