WRITE FOR TERMS. fir A NEW YEAR'S HINT TO A HERO (At Kansas City last night Hobson lusted 417 women, thereby breaking the Chicago record of 165. Daily Paper Oh, Hobson. gentle Hobson; won't you celebrate the day By going 'bout your business in a simpler sort of way? Pray stop these kissing capers, which are doubtless nice for you, Yet do not strike the people as the proper thing to do. You've done one thing heroic, but. as one remembers it, You had some otners with you who did just a lit le bit, Who haven't spent their days and nights since getting to their ships In osculating foolish folks with far too ready lips. Of course it takes some bravery sometimes to kiss a maid; We've often seen some fellows who to do it were afraid. We've also seen the other chap who thought it rather swell To kiss some pretty little girl and then to go and tell. But you, sir, you are different from those other smacking wights. You recommend hair tonics, and you speechify o' nights. You've had your picture printed in the papers far and wide, And certain deadly cigarettes are known as "Hobson's Pride." Your place is sure that is to say you are a hero nov, Who, in a timely moment, sank a most expensive scow, And really have no need for all this advertising cheap That comes from kissing women who are very far from deep. So, Hobson, gentle Hobson, won't you celebrate the day By swearing oft this kissing as you walk your little way? Just hustle off to Hong-kong and enjoy your well-earned ease, And if you must throw kisses, keen 'em for the fair Chinese. Harper's Bazir.

A., Northwestern lino. Overheard at tho Horse Show "What!'- cried the Hunter to his friqnd Swallerbox,' tho T-cart horso. "Didn't you got a ribbon? I thought a high-9tepper like you was a sure win ner." "Ob, I got excited whon I was being through," cried Swallorbox, "and I stepped bo high I got ono of my hind legs over tho dash-board." "Seems to mo," observed the High jumper, looking about his stall, "that tho quarters hero are rather contracted." "True," said the Shetland pony; "but," he added, with a nod toward the boxes, "the dollars seem to bo unlimited." The Karalm Jewi. The Karalm Jews number 3,000 or 4,000 and live principally in tho Crimea. They speak a Tartar dialect among themselves, and ethnological ly are much more like Tartars than Semites. Their own legends, in fact, permit thf) assumption that they were Khazart and were converted to Judaism in the eighth century. Their form of Judaism differs from that of the 6,000,000 or more orthodox Russian Jews In reject log tho talmud and traditional theol ogy altogether and confining Itself etrlctly to tho Mosaic revelation. It Jas heen a favorite amusement with the ftusslans for generations to pretend the greatest admiration and affection for this obscure little tribe. Mme. Novikoff had her Joke on the subject hero in London when sho gravely as sured an interviewer sorao years ago that thoro never had been a law of any kind Issued In Russia against tho Jews. When this amazing assertion wat ques tioned she coolly explained that she referred to tho Karalm Jews, as in Rue. sla they did not consider tho disciples of tho taltaud were Jews at all. Inas much aa tho Karaites constitute only a two-thousandth part of tho Jewish race If, indeed, It be conceded that they belong to it at all-the insolence of the Russian attitude toward them Is peculiarly exasperating to Hebrews In general and tho spectacle of theii being brought forward at Moscow as the sole representat'ves of Israel will mart and ranklo Just as the genial Slavonic character deires It should aturday Review.
