THE AMERICAN FELT HONORED. IU Had .t a Hlccvr Mm Iku I a. I. H.K. An bour After mlduight the other Bifbt a patrolman found man seated a the tpg of the pcstofflc with hla lbows on hta knees and his bead In hit bauds, says the Detroit Free Press, and giving him a shake the offlcer said: "Come, old man. this la no lodging bouse! -No. sir." replied the man. as be roused up. "thla is the postofflce. I knew it when I sat down here. It ia seldom I mistake a postomre for a lodg ing house. Did you suppose I was labor ing under the Impression that I bad turned Into a cheap room on the fourth floor back and left orders to be called at 7 o'clock In the morning?" "You'll have to move on," replied the officer. . "Isn't this a government building?" "Yes. sir." "Owned and run by the government of the United States?" "Yes, sir." "And has Uncle Sam ordered me to move on?" "No, sir, but I have, and you don't want to linger over an hour." "My dear sir." said the night bawk. as he looked up. "are you a bigger man than Uncle Sam?" "I am, sir!" replied the o...c r, as he dallied with bis club. "Then I bow to circumstances and will move on. Could you spare me a photograph?" "No, sir!" "Will you giv3 me your autograph?" "No. Blr!" "Then let me gaze at you fr half a minute to Indelibly impress your feat ures upon the tablets of my memory. ThaL will do, and I thank you. I have met a bigger man than Uncle Sam, and I shall be able to describe him to the children gathered at my knee. Officer, tap me over the head with your club." , "There it is!" said the officer aa he fetched him one on his battered old hat. "Thanks thanks awfully! I have not ; only seen a bigger man than Uncle Sam, but (?) ! ! zz boom! !" Applause for the Old King. More than ten years ago a slight but significant incident occurred in Savan nah, Ga., says the Philadelphia Citizen. Between the acts of a theatrical per formance there was occasion to drop large national flag from the flies above tha stage. This was done without cer emony, merely in preparation for the -ensuing act, but as the heavy folds un rolled and gave the stars and stripes to the light such a cheer went up from 1L. . . .. ... 1 the audience that the house was shaken. Savannah Is a conservative city, slow to forget and tenacious ot old ideas. Here, if anywhere in the south, the war prejudice would be strong and yet the mere presentation of the silent emblem ot the nation called forth such a ring ing, cheery response of loyalty that any suspicion of the south's good faith must have been shamed Into silence. Even today men are not lacking who will assert that the patriotism of the south la shallow and grudgingly given only upon compulsion. Southern orators and writers from time to time protest against this insinuation, but without materially changing the opinion of the keptical, for It Is easy to say that such written and sp'-'cen utterances are In sincere or Inadequate. But the spon taneous expression ot a heterogeneous multitude Is a bit of testimony which cannot be gain'" 'd. And there has been an overwhelming amount of such tes timony upon the occasion of the tour which the old liberty bell has Just made throughout the south. Not alone In Atlanta, its destination, but all along the route, at every stop which it has made, It has been the signal for an outburst not unworthy of comparison . with the scenes of the memorable day when It proclaimed its brave tidings. Nothing so appeals to the universal In stinct of patriotism as does an inani mate object which is emblematical of a nation's character and history. Phil- adelphia is properly jealous of the old bell, and disinclined to relinquish it for any considerable time, but if It Is care fully guarded from danger, as it is in the present instance, it Is fittting that it should be loaned upon an occasion of such Importance as that of the At lanta exposition. It Is pleasant to know that the old bell Is not so silent but that it can yet speak to the hearts of our people, and give fresh assurance that a common bond of love and prldo and reverence unites the entire coun try. Women Settled the Mutter In Seattle. The election of Saturday may be said to be the victory of the women cf Seat tle. There Is a sort of retributive jus tice about it, for they have frequently asked that of the five school directors one should be of the same sex as the majority of the teachers. They have succeeded and the result will be watch ed with considerable interest. It Is claimed that fully 50 per cent of the A. P. A. vote was made up of ladles, but this is ...obably too high an esti mate, and 40 per cent is, no doubt, near er the mark. They were indefatigable campaigners and took care to see that their husbands voted. If a wife can do no mortfthan this she will confer a ben efit upon the community, for it Is evi dent from the light vote that thousands failed to cast a ballot Of the 8,200 votes cast there were fully 2,000 cast by women, which would leave only 6,200 male voters, about half of the voting strength of the city. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Bach s Smart Han. A man was riding in a street car. When he arrived at the place where he wanted to get off the conductor was not In sight, so he gave the bellstrap a smart pull. "Here!" exclaimed the con ductor, coming in, "don't do that! Tou're ringing the bell at both ends f the car." "Well." said tho man, "I want both ends of the car to stop." PERSONALS. Mrs. Langtry rtJrs a machine painted with her racing colors.

Kin causes more trouble than whis- w Most women talk faster than they think. If you get a particularly poor pencil, you will never lose tl. When some people are not nice, they can look as though they are. Everyone is looking for some one who will think he Is always right. How many pretty girls there are, and bow wretchedly poor they are! Men's clothes often look elouchy, but they are not liable to fall off. By the time a man is able to buy all he wants to eat, he has no etomacn. Men who are In business as partners, are as sure to quarrel as man and wife. No girl whose hair is naturally curly should complain of her environments, As a woman gets older, she begins to pay more attention to ber present ments. No college graduate ever became old enough to forget all his oollege fool tshness. Nothing pleases a man so much as to be coaxed to do a thing he wants to do, anyway. If the devil will just burn him, and And no fault, a man won't mind hell vej-y ujulu. A man's idea of a good woman is one who thinka her husband doesn't need praying for. When a woman Is good and tired out you can make her cry by pointing a finger at ber. It costs as much to be popular as to send a 16-year-old daughter away to boarding school. F1CS AND THISTLES. The moment a lie is born, it begins to run. Itsn't it about as wrong to be wrong as it is to do wrong? A lie is always an enemy, no matter how friendly it may look. Every converted man Is a living proof that the Bible is true. We would all love God more if we would only trust him more. How much praying is done In public that God isn't expected to hear. Bringing prayers closer together is very apt to put sins farther apart. The children of a millionaire can only be slightly acquainted with their father. The devil has a good start in every home where there is a moderate drinker. There are preachers who do not claim acquaintance with Christ outside of the pulpit. The man who is holding on to a few favorite eins, is playing hide and seek with the devil. One week a year of self-denial from every Christian in the world would soon raise money enough to bury the devil, horns and hoof. Rams Horn. A little vinegar kept boiling on the stove while onions or cabbage are cook ing will prevent the disagreeable odor going through the house. A "Besieged Resident" was the pet name selected by Henry Labouchere when writing bis letters from Paris. Tb name was appropriate in the high est degree to the circumstances antler which the letters were written. JOSH BILLINGS' PHILOSOPHY. I don't suppon the blgt phool has been born yet, but thare Is time enuff yet to surprise us all. The strongest intimacy s seems to ei Ist. not between two barter, but whar the hed ov one control the hart ov the other. Thare hat m.nny a woman married a man Just far the eake ov getting rid ov herself; this is a rad waste ov the raw material. Th single wimmiu. If they only knu it. hold the Italian. ov power: but., hj a general thing, they don't seem to kno how to uie it. Absolute sincerity may eilst. but ml trade with human r.aiur hat taught me o be satisfied if I kan find sincerity that will pan 45 rents on the dollar. If man would only Mlow his reason az ilussly az the animals do their In stlnktu. he could afford to take the chances ov the hereafter very coolly. The man who Is alUusn anxious to bet 5 dollars on everything, either hax grate doubts about biz Judgment, or huz got a kuunterflt bill he wants to eet rid ov. I hav finally konklmled to take all things Just az they cum; the iiHwt bit ter disappointment I ever hav suffered hav cum from having ml most ardent wishes gratiTed.

Old bachelors are apt to think that they are very important fellows, when at best they are merely ornamental; sumthlng like a tin weather kok on the riuge pole ov a barn, that haz rusted fast, and kan't even sbo which way iue wina Dioze. NOTES OF THE DAY. The corridors of Farnham Castle. England, the Episcopal palace of the Bishop of Winchester, are 1,791 yards in length, all told. An effort Is to be made this year to raise the minimum salary received by tne ministers of the United Methodist churches of England. Bluff City, Tenn., boasts of a pump, kin sixty-five inches In diameter which Is still growing on a vine belonging to Mrs. William Berry. Three hundred convicted murderers were sent to the penal settlement on the Island of Saghalien on one steam er that left Odessa recently. The French Academy of Sciences has appointed a special committee to Inves tigate the new treatment for consump tion advocated by Dr. Crotte of Paris. Blood poisoning, the result of the prick of a hat pin several months ago, has so enfeebled a young woman of New Albany, Ind that It is feared sbe will not recover. Princess Dhuleep Singh was fined 12 shillings In the Burton-Upon-Trent, England, police court for taking he? lapdog to drive In her carriage with out having it muzzled. In Hlcksville, Ohio, recently, a wed ding party was stormed by tramps, who locked the groom in the smoke house, ate the wedding supper and stole the marriage license. The prizes won by the Prince of Wales' yacht Britannia during the past season amount to $S,000. Some of the crew of the Britannia have returned to their homes at Wivenhoe. Typhoid fevers and other diseases are so prevalent in Daviess County, Ken tucky, that the deputy sheriff who served the notices for the last petit Jury panel found only one man able to go to court. During the past two years Douglas County, Oregon, has paid as bounty on wild animals killed the sum of $8,807, as follows: Bear 262, bounty $517; co yote 912. $6,300; panther 670, $2,010; total scalps 1,844, bounty $8,857. Smelts are running In such numbers in Bellingham Bay, Wash., that quan tities of them are taken daily by means of garden rakes and scoop nets Just as ,the tide turns to the ebb. They run to the very borders of the high water, PEN POINTS. "Self-made" fools are no better than the ones who inherit their money. In making up their minds too many people are careless about the material they use. We may all be equal before the law. but there's usually a mighty difference In us afterward. The man who says he can love but once usually has himself for the object of his affections. "If" and "but" are the sons of hesi tation and between them fill many a public poorhouse. It's an awful long distance between the pulpit and the most desirable pew In some churches. The world owes every man a living; and the laborer la simply the bill col lector of the millionaire. There ia work in the world for every man to do, but some of them are fortu nate enough to be able to hire some one etee to do It "There is one thing that is badly needed In our post office," remarked Wheeler, as be opened another dun nlbg letter. "What's that?" timidly Inquired bis typewriter. "A 'Post No Bills sign." Truth. Snla'l Urn Ahr4. Tb lord chancellor la the only mem ber of the British cabinet who la not allowed to go outside of Great Britain. This is because he must have the treat seal in his personal custody, and to take the great seal outside of Great Britain would be high treason.
