Part of the Talent.
A church once gave a charity con
cert where the host talent volun
teered--the city’s leading singers,
elocu! ionists and actors. At the
end of the concert the chairman
v .>•; tup to she organ loft and said
to the little hoy in patched clothes
1:0 1 d blown the organ:
“V .11, Freddie, what do we owe
von i' ir your work this evening?"
The little hoy looked at the chair
uian in genuine astonishment.
“Why, sir.” he said, “didn’t the
rest of the talent give their serv
ices ?”
Thu Beautiful.
I am of opinion that, there i«
..thing so beautiful but that there
is something still more beautiful, of
which this is the mere imago and
ex] if' s.sion—a something which can
neither ho perceived by the eyes,
ihe ears nor any of the senses; we
comprehend it merely in the imagi
nation. —Cicero.
Walking Stick*.
Probably the patriarch’s staff was
the iirsi adaptation of the walking
stick, and from its first inception to
the present, day it has undergone al
most endless changes. In 1701 foot
men attending gentlemen were for
bidden to carry swords, these be
ing replaced by a porter’s staff.
Thirty years later gentlemen were
forbidden to carry swords, but al
lowed to carry large oak sticks. Be
fore many years varnished and pol
is heel woods with ornamental heads
came into use and in one form or
another have held their own.
His Father Didn’t Know.
A little lad was found on the
street crying very bitterly because
bis cart was broken.
The kindly disposed stranger en
deavored to cheer up the little fol
low by saying, “Never mind, my
bov; vour father can easily mend
that.”
“No, ho can’t,” sobbed the boy.
“My father is a preacher and don't
know about anything.”—Ladies’
Home Journal.

Degrading Hi* Must.
“Mamma wishes you to cuter
papa’s factory, darling. That would

“But, dearest, I’m a poet.”
“All the better. You can write

ments.” — Fliegende Blatter.
Got Hi* Aniwcr.
Born in China and educated at
Yale, the editor of the Chinese
World of San Francisco was long
known as a wit and humorist as well
as a wise man. He dressed as an
American. One day a drummer
came to him with the expectation
of selling a certain grade of paper.
Thinking to be sfhart, the drummer
began his conversation by asking
the impudent question, “What kind
of a 'nose are you—a Japanese or a
Chinese ?”
The editor smiled kindly and
bowed with great courtesy as he re
plied. “First please inform me what
kiuii of key you are—a Yankee, a
monkey or just a plain Monkey?”—

Statesmen In Their Cup*.
The deep drinking which was a
social custom in the time of the
younger Pitt had its influence oc
casionally <m the minister, whose
liahi; it was to indulge liberally with
lits friends when free from the oc
cupatioi’s of state. An epigram of
the time gave the following dia

TEN THOUSAND
TAKEN FROM MAIL
Tampa, Fla., March 24.—Ten
thousand dollars in currency was
stolen from a mail pouch in tran
sit between Tampa and Clearwater
last night. The theft was dis
covered when the mail pouch
reached St. Petersburg this morn
ing at 10 o’clock, having been
j carried by its destination, Clear
water.
The pouch had a slit in one
| side eight inches long. The re
| gistered package had been torn
open, tiie money extracted and
the casing pushed back in the
mail fuig. The money was ship
ped from Tampa at 4: 40 o’clock
yesterday afternoon by the Ex
change National Bank and was
consigned to the Bank of Clear
water. Postal officials decline to
give any information until post
office inspectors arrive to make
an investigation.
The robbery is supposed to
have been committed while four
teen mail bags for Clearwater
and points south of that city were
left lying on the platform at Tar
pon Springs for over eight hours
waiting for the Atlantic Coast
Line traiu, which was eight hours
late.
WHITFIELD GO. PRISONERS
TRY EACH OTHER,
Dalton, Ga., March 25. —Friday
morning prisoners in the Whit
field county jail set an example
which many local people believe
the courts would do well to pat
tern after, for they tried one of
their fellow prisoners, sentenced
him and then executed the sen
tence without permitting the con
victed one an appeal to another
court, as his guilt was established
beyond doubt.
The prisoner was Gordon Cle
ments, a young man arrested
Thursday night for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. After he
was placed in jail lie proceeded to
whoop up things and prevented
the remaining prisoners from
sleeping. He was not disturbed
until Friday morning when lie
was hastily jerked up before a
well organized “court of justice,”
composed of his fellow prisoners.
He was permitted counsel and
was given a ta'r hearing; but his
guilt was established beyond
doubt.
Following; his conviction he
was permitted to say what he
wanted to before sentence was
passed, and then the “judge”
solemnly pronounced the sen
tence. “The prisoner shall pay
a tine of 25 cents and shall be
given 25 lashes across the back.”
Ready hands seized him and for
a time the old whipping post was
revived. One of the prisoners
took off his heavy leather belt,
and the lashes were administered
with a hand none toA gentle; for
tlio whipping boss remembered
the sleepless hours of the night
bef< re.
The fine was collected and put
in the treasury to lie put to some
good use in the future.
