, MM Up Against a Family Trust. m “Owing to a Nebraska smash-up I got left in a little Nebraska town one night a year ago,” said a drum mer, “and the way I came into con tact 'with a trust made my hair stand up. It was a wretched town and a still worse hotel. My room was small and the bed was as hard as a board. I got up feeling mad, and after a miserable breakfast I was ready to boil over. The boiling came when th6 landlord presented me with a bill of $4. “ ‘Is this correct?’ I asked as I looked at the figures. “ ‘Entirely so,’ he replied.- ‘“Then you are a blamed old highway robber.’ “The landlord had three sons, and when they began to mix in I turned on them and gave them some red- hot talk. When I stopped for breath the old man, who turned out to be a justice of the peace, sat down in his chair and calmly an nounced: “ ‘Hear ye! Hear ye! I now de clare this court opened. Hames, have you any business?’ “ ‘I have,’ replied his eldest son, who announced to me that he was a constable and that I was under ar rest. He then made a charge against me, one of the other brothers testi fying as to my language, and his Honor fined me $10. As the third brother hadn’t taken any part, I turned to him and sarcastically ask ed: “ ‘Where do you come in?’ “ ‘Me?’ he replied. ‘Oh, I’m the town marshal, and as you are evi dently a desperate character, I shall have to lock you up for a couple of days and then run you out of town.’ “It was a nice little family trust, you see,” smiled the drummer, ‘?and I couldn’t beat it. I was locked up for forty-eight hours, but I had to pay the hotel bill and the fine, and when I was set at liberty and got my mouth open to say something else, the jailer laid a hand on my arm and whispered: “ ‘Don’t do it. I am the old man’s son-in-law, and if you kick against my jail he’ll make your next stop twenty days.” ’ We Have Little Sentiment. Brother Dickey on the Race Problem. Savannah Press. There are people who believe that sentiment stands no chance wh en it conflicts with the acquisition of “the mighty dollar.” This is not always the fact however. There are times when money cannot buy what its owners.so ardently desire. For in stance, efforts were made recently by Boston speculators, plentifully provided with cash, to buy an old gray stone church in the Hub known as St. Paul. For the lot on which the church stands $1,500,000 was offered, and in addition $6,000 to each of the forty-one pewholders. The offer was emphatically refused, as the pewholders and vestrymen voted unanimously against its accep tance. Sentiment prompted the rejection of the proposition. There is a St. Paul church on lower Broadway, New York, for which, according to a Philadelphia paper, the tempting sum of $6,000,000 was offered. “St. Paul is not for sale at any price,” was the answer. In the greatest commercial city of the Uunited States, where the financial spirit might be said to be dominant, sen timent proved too Btrongfor the “al mighty dollar.” A strange thing is this sentiment. Just because some illustrious dead are buried in the New York churchyard millions of dollars could not tempt those who have “sentimental record” for the historio place of worship to sell the plot of ground on which it stands. The Chinese revere the bones of their ancestors, but there are Ameri cans who profess to believe that the Chinaman is an imbecile. Senti ment has a stronger hold upon the practical people of the United States than they are willing to admit. The noblest men the world has ever pro duced, the men whose names will live as long as the world lasts, were swayed by sentiment. The man who scoffs at sentiment is an object of sympathy rather than of derision. He has never , realized the difference between soul and sawdust. A Georgia negro, asleep on the track, came in contact with a railway train, says Frank Stan ton. As he^arose aud brushed the dust from his coat he said to the engineer:. “Ef some er you folks ain’t more keeffuller whar you gwine you’ll git sued fer damage some er dese days.” Demand for Gold Dollars. “I hopes,” said Brother Dickey, “dat de cullud congress will settle de race problem fer good en all; but, lak a balloon, hit’s my opinion dat de race problem hez been all in de elements fer some time pas’, en hit never hez knowed des how en whar ter light. De folks what lib up north sighted hit frum fur off; but w’en hit landed right in de midst er dem, dey didn’t know what ter do wid it, en said hit had done lit two hours en a half befo’ hit’s time, en de bes’ t’ing hit could do wuz ter h’ist hitse’f ag’in en go back whar hit come f’um! But hit’s my private opinion dat de cullud congress will fin’ dat dey ain’t no race problem worryin’ de bes’ people er de cullud race, what either owns dey own house er works hard enough ter pay house rent en satisfy de grocery man. Cornin’ down ter plain fac’s, de race problem what’s keepin’ some er ’em stirred up, is—how dese lazy, triflin’ sinners kin keep two mile ahead er de sheriff on de high road! Dat’s all. De res’ er it is mos’ly in de min’s erde yankee folks what don’t know nuttin’ ’tall ’bout de niggar, en ain’t got no mo’ use fur ’im dan what dey hez fur a snow shovel in de hot middle er July! Hard work, en han’s off, is de settle ment er de whole business.”—Frank Stanton. World’s Fair Bureau, St. Louis, Aug. 4.—Orders are being received by Secretary Stevens for gold dol lars to be issued by the United States government in commemora tion of the Louisiana Purchase Ex position. The issue will be limited to 250,000 coins, according to the instructions of the act of congress authorizing ,them. The committee in charge of the matter, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, has about decided upon two designs, one including the bust of Jefferson, the other the bust of McKinley. The coins will be sold at two dollars each by the World’s Fair, and the amount derived from the premium will be used in the con struction of monuments of Jefferson and McKinley. The first hundred issued of each design will be num bered as painted and a certificate is sued by the director of the mint for each coin stating that it was minted in his presence aud numbered in con secutive order. These two hundred coins will be sold to the highest bid ders. The 250,000 gold dollars are a part of the appropriation of $5,- 000,000 in aid of the World’s Fair from the United States government. They will be delivered to the Expo sition authorities as soon as minted, which will probably be late in the fall. Henry L.
