Mrs. Smith, indignantly closed the

afr night, she said:
"Algernon. I want yen to take a lot
of old shoes I've done up in a package
and throw them away."
""Why don't you give them to the
washerwoman?" asked "Vfr, Smith.
K i"She won't have-them says they're

"They are all cither too large er too

into the shoe business he would let me
know he wasn't buying misfits yet."
"I like his impudence-. Where are
they? I'll make short work of them.'"
said ilr. Smith, and he took the big
bundle his wife gave him and-went out.
In 15 minutes lie was back.
"So you. got rid of them," said his
wife joyfully. "I think there was an
accumulation of six years in that lot.
Some of them I had given to people
f who were begging at the door, but I al
ways found them again nexf day in the
lot. Old. shoes are like cats, if you send
them away they always come back. '
"The cat won't come back this time,"
said her husband. I dumped them in a
vacant lot and ran. After this when
you buy a pair of new shoes leave your
old ones at the store. "
Next morning as ilrs. Smith was do
ing her housework the door bill rang.
"I guess maybe you've had a bur
glary," said the cheery voice of a man
who steed on the steps and seemed in a
hurry. "I found this bundle, with your
name and address on it, when I was
looking over my lot today."
ilrs. Smith took the bundle and fee
bly thanked him. "When Algernon came
home, she cold him. He said there were
mere ways of killing a cat tharrof chok
ing her with, butter, and after supper he
took up the bundle and went out.
He knew of a nice dark place down
near a church, where "he could slide in
and drop that lead of shoes without be
ing seen. Ke had taken the precaution
to tear oh! the address and had changed
the shape of the bundle. As he deposit
ed it in the archway of this dark corner
a heavy hand was laid on his hculder.
"No, you den't. 27o abandonment cf

It was the new poIieman on that
beat, and ho didn't know Mr. Smith.
He Estened tq his explanation, with a
most aggressive and unbelieving air.
"Lemme see the kid," he demanded,
and when the "kid" proved to be kid
shoes he grew still angrier.
Tve a mind tq run ye in for disturb

he said, but finally permitted Smith to
tV his bardie and go home.
The next night a smudge came out of
the Smiths' chimney, and the neighbors
held their ntwi, About midnight a
loud rapping was heard at the front
door. and. light in the basement was

"Are yon running a glue factory here

Smith.
"Then what is that infernal odor?
Your neighbors have telephoned that
you were mnking yourself a nuisance

Smith tcck the crowd in and told his
atory hew they had put those shoes in

THE STYLE OF ALDERMEN.
People Who 'Do Adrros Them as "The
Honorable" In Spite of "Webster.
In none of the "ready letter writers'"'
are directions given as to- the prefix
which, it is proper to put before the
name of an alderman, and it is for this
reason perhaps that a controversy has
recently arisen. One of the disputants
says:
"When writing to a member of the
beard of aldermen or a commissioner in
one of the cisy departments, it is high
falntin, I Hnwfr, to address him with
the prefix 'Hen.' " In proof of the cor
rectness of this view of the case this
correspondent invokes the testimony of
"Webster, the- dictionary compiler, who
said of the use of "the honorable:"
44 An American usage. Is is a title of
courtesy merely, bestowed npon those
who hold or have held higher public of
fices, especially governors, judges, mem
bers of congress or of the senate and
mayors."
"Webster was bam in Connecticut in
1758 and. died in tie same state in
1843, long before the establishment, as
such, of the present 2iewYork board
of aldermen and at a time when that
body was generally known as the com
mon council, and any opinions which
he may have expressed in his dictionary
or any views which he may have enter
tained personally on the subject of hon
orary titles iii use in the United States
could have no especial bearing upon the
case of the 2iew York aldermen, whose
fume as legislators has now spread to
confines where the name of "Webster is
quite unknown.
The title alderman is derived from
the Saxon word "ealdorman," other
wise elderman or elder. It was a title
of honor in early days in England, d
the elderman or alderman was a local
functionary responding somewhat to
the present justice of the peace-. In Eng
land the alderman was usually a judge,
but afterward the ofHee came to be an
elective one, and from the English word
h? come the American title alderman
so valiantly upheld by the aldermen of
New York, who insist npon a full share
of all political honors, perquisites, prrw
jleges, rights, advantages ami immuni
ties, and he would be a courageous man
indeed who would omit from the des
ignation of an alderman (especially an
alderman recently elected i the title
"the honorable. " The legal duties of
aldermen are so few, their exercise is
so carefully guarded by acts of the leg
islature, that it is necessary, so to speak,
for the aldermen to find, if the expres
sion may bo used without offense, work
for themselves. Accordingly from time to
time resolutions are passed by the board
taking the form of ordinances which by
tacit agreement among the members it
is arranged thall not be acted upon un
less the alderman of the district in
which the applicant or applicants reside
assents to action. In this way the pow
ers of an alderman in a district are very
considerably enhanced, and in such cases
the petitioner, realising the fall force
and importance of the alderman's office,
is glad of the opportunity to addrens
him as "the honorable,' 5 and realises
the futility of another course. 27ew

The press women of Louisiana are
generously recognized by their brothers
gf the fourth estate. At the annnal
meeting of the 2Tew Orleans Press clnb,
recently held, it wss voted to admit
women to membership. Speaking of
this, The Daily Picayune says:
"The women engaged on the news
capers in 3Tew Orleans are perhaps not
the least among the great body of work
ers, and it was a gracious recognition
of their iporth to accord them member
ship in the great newspaper league. It

is the first in the country to admit
women to mentrship. The act was

""WMlc vre were, camped near Cul
peper Court Souse in the fall of 18 G2,"
said Major Tom "Williams, "I became
acquainted with a family named Dow
dy. Just before the battle cf Cnlpeper I
paid a visit to the- farm and found the
ladies in a panic; preparing to rice. They
sec before me such scant fare as they
had left, and after I had. catena hasty
luncheon Miss 3Iary Dowdy called to
me and led the way to the back yard.
" 'There is the last of our stock cf
poultry,' said she. pointing to a little
bantam cock that was air oiling about
the yard. 'I haven't the heart to kill
him because he is a pet. If yon want
hfm- yon. rrm i-nTrp him and do as yon
like with him. '
"During the campaign cf 1863 lie cf
ton sat cn my shoulder "through, the
long, weary marches and hurried re
treats, nnd I shared my rations with
hrm. One night we had reached, the
fln-n'fc' of the enemy's camp by a forced
march and lay down to sleep on our
arms, expecting to bo roused at the
break of day far a sudden charge. I had
started off with General perched upon
my musket barrel, and a sudden change
in the order of "'" had separated us
from the wagons, so I placed the roost
er on the limb of a sapling above my
head, while I lay down to snatch, a few
minutes' sleep.
" General did not utter a single cluck
in protest, although, he-must have been
very hungry from long fasting, but
quietly squatted on the branch, while I
flung myself on the grass and leaves
fiTd wras soon fast asleep- I was so
weary that I slept profoundly until I
was suddenly aroused by ?xl unearthly
screech, in my ear. Raising my head, I
took in the whole situation at a glance.
"General had dropped, down from his
perch, nnd uttered a gjynTI crow right in
my ear which had awakened me, and as
I opened my eyes I saw the flash, of guns
as our pickets fired and in an instant
fell back upon m? where we lay. The
Yankees had turned the tables on us,
and, discovering our presence, the surprising-force
became the surprised, and
in ten minutes there was an unearthly
racket going on in that pine thicket.
"Eight and left of my position the
boys came out of cover and. advanced
with yells and cheers, moving cautious
ly and firing as. they moved. It had be
come sufficiently light for me to find
my few belongings, and I soon recover
ed, my hat nd haversack, which I had
forgotten to pick up in the hurry of the
first surprise, and just at that rime I
was saluted with a loud crow just above
my head, and. looking up I saw General
purched upon his limb, he having flown
back there when th9 firing began, and.
with his head held cn one side he was
sidlirgalong tlu swaying branch, crow
ing and clucking.
"In spite of the banging of the guns
and whistling of bailees General stuck
bravely to his perch and never fluttered
during the entire engagement. "When
I told the story in camp that night,
General was the tcastof the evening;,
and he was treated to all sorts of tid
bits in recognition of his gallantry
on thud field of action.
One morning, however,' General
played the camp detective in a most
alarming manner, which came near
proving dsastrocs tj a fellow soldier of
another mess. AH foraging had been
strictly forbidden, and no man was al
lowed to leave the ranks under the
heaviest penalty of military discipline
There was a fellow by the name of Jim
2fessmith who occupied a tent not far
from that of the captain of our compa
ny. About; 4 o'clock the arderwas pass
ed along the lines for us to prepare to
march.
"General was perched en the limb of
a bush near niii while I sat munching
my hard, tack, and all cf a sudden he
raised Mmlf on his perch and crowed,
lustily. Of course no cock in hearing
could resist replying to such a efcylleuge.
and from within the ?ens occupied by
Jim essmith tame the muffled crow of
an obi rooster. Jim made a grab at the
bog and succeeded in choking him off,
bet the noise hail reached the ears, of
some of the others, and thg captain be
came apprised o the met that Jim had
been fayaging. A hasty examination of
ins tent disclosed the body of the big
rooster, chokt'd to death by Jim in his
anxiety to put a. sftop wt his untimely
crowhig.
' -Jim was ordered under arrest pend
ing; an investigation, but just about that
time the order came to advance, and wa
moved forward, and by sunrise we wenj
lighting, and the umartuuatti officer
who had ordered Jim to be placed un
der arres? was borne from the field a
corpse after the fight was over. The af
fair was forgotten amid the stirring
scenes that followed.
"Seeing that the end was near, I
found an opportunity to send General
to" the rear, and placing hnn hi ft cage
started him on the long journey ta the
home of a nephevf ni Georgia. He had
not been long on the farm before he be
gan to pine and droop, and the family
thought that he was disconsolate on ac
count of being separated, from bis- com
rades. This might have been all fancy,
but he lived euiy a short time, and

A Boston jeweler who a talens

h the Pain!
The aches and pains of Rhei
become a constant companion to all who
are victims of this disabling disease.
Much, suffering could be avoided if the
first warning-pains of Rheumatism were
heeded a-nri the proper treatment at once
taken. But the people generally are
not acquainted with, the cause of the
disease, though thousands know its tor
tures. Those who use liniments and
ointments cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them
selves gradually becoming unable to get
around as they once could; yet they
know that their trouble came on at first
as little aches and pains, which, hardly
attracted their attention.
Everybody should know more about
rheumatism; they should know that it
is a peculiar condition of theblocd upon
which, all the liniments in the world
can
have no sfrect whatever. The
bii blood remedy is needed one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease, and force it out. Swift's Specific

remedy free from mercury, potash and
ether minerals which, intensify the dis
