WHAT HE WAS CHARGED WITH.§
The fame of former Governor Peck as
a humorist is so far abroad that people
no longer expect him to have the temer
-Ity to appear at a dinner or to make an
address without a sevies of incidents and
pithy personal experiences at his com
mand. The funny part is that he does
not in the least consider himseif a story
teller, and really verv seldom repeats a
story. What he tells are things that
really happeuved to him, and which his
inimitable fashion of seeing and telling
make irresistibly funny. There is one
story, however, which he has liked to
repeat outside his own experience.
““And I have told it,"” he says frankly,
‘‘until the family says, ‘For heaven’s
sake don’t ever tell that story again,’ but
it has struck me as one of the funniest
that I haye ever heard. I know evoryg
body has heard it by this time, so I
don’t dare tell it any more, much asl]
would like to.”” The story is this:
‘““There was a man on trial once whose
namwe was Smith, and who stammmered
-most terribly, The first thing the judge
i did was to ask him his name. The man
did his best,
¢t ¢S-gss-s-8888-88-' he began obediently .
“‘Why, stop making a noise like
that,’ said the judge. ‘We can't allow
that. Give me your name.’
f*B-sBB-889888-5-88-"7 sputtered the man
earnestly .
‘‘‘Heavens!' said the judge. ‘Sir,’ he
continued, turning to an Irish police
man who had brought the man in, ‘What
is the man charged with?’
* ‘I should think, yer honor,’ returned
the officor soberly, that he is charged
with soda water.' ’’—Milwaukee Evening

A PITIABLE SPECTACLF.
A White Woman in a Company of Negro
Convicts in Savannah.
From the Savannah News,
Residents on Liberty street, between
Habersham and the Plant System sta
tion. witnessed a rather demoralizing
spectacle yesterday about noon as a com
pauy of convicts was on its way to the
chain gang.
All were negro men with the exception
of one white woman, Emma DelLoach,
sentenced frrm the police courta few
dayssince for drunkenness. The rain
pelted down in torrencs as the gang pass
ed, but the woman especially attracted
attention by her miserable condition.
The wet clothing clung to her limbs, she
was bareheaded, and the exposure ap
peared rather severe even for a convict
to undergo.

Thousands Celebrate
with thankfulness their restoration to
health by the use of Hocd’s Sarsaparil

Think of the vast army who have been
cured by this medicine—
Men, women and children, who have
suffered the consequences of impure
blood. who have been the victims of
scrofula, sores,eruptions, dyspepsia, ner
vousness, sleeplessness.
They have tried other medicines and
have failed to obtain relief. They tried
Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it did them good.
They persevered in its use and it accom
plished permanent cures. Do you won
der that they praise it and recommend it
to you?
