MEANEST MAN

In Charleston Charged with Taking
Fans from Church.
A. young white man, giving the
name of Henry Martin, was arrested
yesterday morning by Police Detec-
tive Brennan, and lodged at the po-
lice station, on the charge of having
stolen three electric fans. and one
electric iron from the churches in this
city, the entire booty being valued at
S75, according to the police, says the
Charleston News and Courier.
Another turn was taken in this case
when the detectives questioned Mar.
tin as to what disposition had been
made of the stolen goods. He admit
ted having sold them to one George
Armenallis, who operates a pool room
at So Calhoun street. Armenakis was
arrested and he will have to answer to
n charge of receiving stolen property.
Almenakis is also charged with
carrying n concealed weapon, this ac-
cording to the police blotter, being a
knife.
The cases will be called in police
court this morning and both Martin
and Armenakis will probably be re-
ferr2d to a magistrate for prelim-
mary hearing.

Old ballads have taken new lease
Of life and are earning big money"
for the ducky heirs of their composers.
To about the same period as Silver
Threads Among the Cold" belongs the
duet Whispering Hope" which Alma
Gluck and Louise Homer launched a
few years ago upon renewed career
of popularity. Its sentiment has an
unmistakable flavor of Victorian
simplicity.
Soft as the voice of an angel,
Breathing a lesson unheard,
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word.
Wait till the darkness is over,
Wait till the tempest is done,
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
After the shower is done.
Whispering Hope, oh how welcome thy
voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

Miss Melinda Melville, 38, Says:

Marriage is a sort Of mental thermOs
ter, cool in summer-and at about the
same deadly tepid temperature, all the
year round.
A bachelor loves to look at a pretty
woman, through the haze of his cigar
cite, and weave beautiful dreams about
marriage. 1t is like riding on scenic
railway-all thrills and no danger.
A little boy never can decide whether
he wants to become pirate or bank
er, when he grows up; little girl can't
decide whether she wants to be nun
or a vampire-and usually they waver
between these two, all the rest of their
lives.
Love is a permanent wave Of emo
ton, which lasts just as long as any
other permanent wave'-about six
months, at the most.
The woman who marries a man al
ways has life struggle, trying to live
up to his radiant imaginary ideal of
the woman he didn't get.
A mans most effective after dinner
speeches are those short but impas
stoned ones, which he sometimes
makes, regarding the home dinner
and which make Il woman hate cook
ing
The average man goes to his grave
secretly, wondering whether he cap
turcd the woman he married or merely
capitulated to her.
A summer Irritation is the jaZzmu-
sic of the soul.
