Queer Southern Names.
“Most southerners know the negro’s
propensity for odd names,” said Charles
Waters at the Lindell, “and. in my time
I have run across some that were most
remarkable. For instance, I know an
old negro down in middle Tennessee who
rejoices in the sobriquet of Niagara Falls,
though his companions have shortened
this to Nigger Falls, but he was really
christened, after the great cataract. I
also know an old colored woman who
delights in telling that her name is Vir-
ginia Alabama Georgia South, and an-
other who enjoys the cognomen of Aman-
da June Day. This last is a school-
teacher and rfigns her name A. June Day.

Trees In French Cities.
One of the chief beauties of the larger
French cities and second only to their
edifices and monuments are the trees.
The almost interminable vistas of chest-
nuts and acacias stretching along the
broad and well paved avenues as far as
the eye can reach, their bending branches
almost touching one another in an end-
less arch of verdure, form not only a
delightful perspective for the eye, but
serve to add beauty to cities already
beautiful and grace and symmetry to
whatever might be harsh and forbid-
ding.
' This, however, is not the result of na-
ture’s handiwork alone, for science and
art have lent their aid. The planting,
as well as the maintenance of the trees
in French cities, is an item of no little
importance in the annual budget pre-
pared by the municipal council, which
does not look upon their preservation as
of less consequence than the repairing
of the roadways or the lighting of the
streets.—London Times.

A Misunderstanding.
Old Mike Shays was arrested, and
brought into the Sixth precinct station
house the other night for the fifteenth
consecutive time in a fortnight.
“What is your name?” asked the ser-
geant, merely by way of formality.
But Mike was above the sphere of the
commonplace, and drawing himself up
proudly replied: “My name is Norval.
On the Grampian hills my father feeds
his flocks, a frugal swain!”
“What’s that about swine?” inquired
the sergeant sternly.
“Oh, he didn’t mean anything person-
al,” said, the station keeper deprecating-
ly. “That’s just Marc Antony’s address
to the Romans.”—Washington Post.

He considered the paper spoiled, and
an entire loss, but suffered it to remain
in an out of the way place as unsalable
stock for four years, when, in order to
get it out of the way and to make room
for better stock, he sent it to his agent
in London, asking him to get rid of it at
any price. To the paper maker’s utter
surprise, in a short time he received from
his agent an order for a great quantity

that the bluish paper being a novelty

But officers in power

Your right to sell good beer.

And license our places—
Let all of us license pay;
And when it is due
On me and you,
Let us not shr k it a day.

Where the best of the lunches
Or of whisky punches
Is always sure to be found.

The Odor- of Washing Day.
In nothing does the utter common-
place speak more exasperatingly, more
depressingly, than in the odor of “wash-
ing day”—the damp, steamy soapiness,
breathing which one ceases to believe in
moonlight or in roses. There is nothing
in the sight of the tubs, in the sound of
the swishing suds, that in the least cor-
responds in depressing effect with the
odor associated with them.—Boston Com-
monwealth.
wearily tried without result for many
days and nights.
Mentioning his trouble to his wife one
day she admitted her carelessness and
told of the way in which the pulp hap-
pened to become spoiled by the bag of
bluing. The paper maker was overjoyed
at the revelation, found it an easy task
to give the tinge to his white paper and
until the time of his death, which oc-
curred many years after, he was unable
to supply the great demand for blue pa-
per, so acceptable and relieving to the
eye of the writer.—Boston Herald.
Beauty and Goodness.
There are thoughtless people who say
that beauty of soul signifies invariably
beauty of body; that the spiritual and in-
tellectual must of necessity shine through
the corporeal vestiture as a lamp through
a transparency.
.Granting that a certain dignity and
nobility do inhere in the personality, and
that education refines the features and
informs the countenance with expres-
sion, the admission must be made that
beautiful souls are not invariably resi-
dent in beautiful bodies. A very plain
face, a roug' skin, unsightly lineaments,
have often been the outward accompa-
niments of rarely pure and exquisite be-
ings, whose angelhood was compelled to
await its wings on the other side of this
sphere.—Harper’s Bazar.

The personnel of the grand jury sworn
in Monday encourages the hope that the

though the evidence, it is claimed, war-
ranted many. Let us hope this grand
jury will not be “influenced” to this ex-
tent. _
The committee on parks and espla-

Messrs. Voight-Berry to have free con-

them. A proposition as far-reaching in

is unfortunate that Aiderman Hender-
son could not see where the $100 was to
come from with which to tear down the
old tool house in the center of the park
and erect in its place a sightly band-
stand. It is not too late to correct this.
Let the committee on parks and espla-
nades act promptly. Let'a definite con-
tract be made with Voight-Berry and
then a recommendation from the
committee to the city council that the
appropriation be made will meet with
the approval of the board. Nightly con-
certs in this park would prove a blessing

Instinct and Knowledge In Animals.
A cat carried 100 miles in a basket, a
dog taken perhaps 500 miles by rail, in a
few days may have found their way back
to the starting point. So we nave often
been told, and no doubt the thing has
happened. We have been astonished at
the wonderful intelligence displayed.
Magic, I should call it. Last week 1’
bition. Finally I ran into an old woman, heard of a captain who sailed from Ab-
erdeen to Arbroath. He left behind him
a dog which, according to the story, had
never been in Arbroath, but when he ar-
rived there the dog was waiting on the
quay. I was expected to believe that
the dog had known his master’s destina-
tion and been able to inquire the way
overland to Arbroath. Truly marvelous!
But really it is time to inquire more care-
fully as to what these stories do mean.
We must cease to ascribe our intelligence
to animals and learn that it is we that
often possess their instinct.
A cat on a farm will wander many
miles in search of prey and will there-
fore be well acquainted with the coun-
try for miles around. It is taken 50
miles away. Again it wanders and comes
across a bit of country it knew before.
What more natural than that it should
go to its old home? Carrier pigeons are
taught “homing” by taking them gradu-
ally longer flights from home, so that
they may learn the look of the country.
We cannot always discover that a dog
actually was acquainted with the route
by which it wanders home, but it is quite
absurd to imagine, as most people at
once do, that it was a perfect stranger to
the lay of the land.—A. J. Mackintosh
in London Spectator.
J.s. BROWN HARDWARE CoS?
HARD HORSE SENSE.
In the issue of Evening Tribune yes-
terday appeared two editorial articles
from the Kansas City Star and Rocky
Mountain News, commenting on a circu-
. lar letter from Mr. William F. White,
general traffic manager of the passenger
department of the SantaFe system. This
letter was addressed to the passenger
agents of other western roads and is
chock full of horse sense. .
Mr. White looks the situation squarely
in the face and points out a remedy. He
shows his associates in the passenger
business in the west that the World’s
fair business is not what was expected. , , =■ . ,. .
m. , . n ,, v - TT to the paper ordered by his agent and
Then he tells them why it is so. He ...Z
indicates that the stockholders in the
various roads reasonably expected big
passenger business this year. If the
roads are not getting the business ex-
pected, and they are not, it is due to the
fact that the passenger agents of the
various roads have not used the business
tact and judgment with which they are
supposed to be possessed. Hence if this
business is lost it will be charged to the
incompetency or dereiliction of those
who are charged with the duty of mak-
ing bay while the sun shines.
While we have not read this circular,
judging its contents from the comments
referred to and another reprinted today
fiom the St. Joseph, Mo,, News, we
infer that there is much to be read be-
tween the lines, as to Mr. White’s real
purpose in formulating such sentiments.
This circular should bear fruit. If it
does not the indications are that Mr.
White will force an issue that will utilize
some of the idle rolling stock, get some-
thing more than thin cream and ulti-
mately make money for the railroads
and interest for the bondholders.
This call for a conference of the western
passenger agents with a view to arriving
at a popular price rate from the west to
the World’s fair means business. If they
do not come in willingly on a popular
price idea it is more than probable that
Mr. White will take the bullby the horns.

“It was the Mexican treasure box, and
the money was to pay the Mexican
troops. It had been dumped in the chap-
arral by the carrier, hoping that it might
be secured after the battle. The other
boys began filling their bootlegs and
pockets with the precious metal, but I
didn’t touch a piece of it. After they
had loaded themselves with all they
could carry they wanted me to help my-

as robbers. While they were debating
as to the disposition of the remainder our

to stand there all night watching that
