Hats and Occupations.

In some parts of the world the silk hat is still the professional headgear of the chimney sweep. About a dozen years ago the writer constantly observ- ed this in Wurttemberg, and last year he found the same combination in Switzerland. The mysterious relations between the hat and occupation, con- victions and recreations, would make an interesting study. At one time the politician who wore a~white hat pro claimed himself a Radical. Nowadays he would probably be suspected as an old fashioned Tory. Then no self re- specting cricketer would have appeared without a tall hat in former days. But MT. Jenner-Fust has recorded how he and others were compelled to drop the habit in the twenties and thirties by the spectators jeers at post boys."- London Chronicle.

The pun was at. it's climax early in the nineteenth century. Thomas Hood was a master punster, especially in verse. No better examples ear be found anywhere than those in Miss Kilmansegg' and the "Tale of a Trumpet" What could be heater than the argument of the fiddler trying to sell an ear trumpet: There was Mrs. F.

JORDAN'S BOYS
 TO BANQUET HIM
Old Time Gathering Is Being Plan- ned By Pupils Who Were In Dr.
 JOrdan'S School Years Ago.

Fer the purpose of having a re- union and to honor their tea;cher of days gone by, citizens of Pine Bluff, whG, when small boys attended the "academy'' conducted by Prof. Junius Jordan. now superintendent of the Pine Bluff public schools and at one time state superintendent of pub- lie instruction, are contemplating giving banquet and having a gen. eral good time.
 The movement was started by Charles Haycock, who was one of Prof Jordan's pupils, and to whom MT. Haycock probably ewes his suc- cess in life. All the former pupils of Prof. Jordan to whom MT. Haycock has lroached the subject, have be- come enthusiastic over the matter. A meeting will probably be called at a near date to make the necessary arrangements.
 aa ,sat would afford most peasant evening for the school boys who would recall with much glee their escapadeg and the punish mem they received at the hands of their teacher.
 Among the prosperous citizens Wpo attended the academy, are Charles Haycock, Judge w. D. Jones, H. c. Bluthenthal, S. A. Rosenberg, Jo Nichol.s Harvey Hudson. Leo M. An d.ews, Ewew White. w. B. Sorrells and others.

Blease as a young man, and had
