The Savannah Press says that when the army transport gets up the river to pronounce it as if it were spelt Man-i-to-BAR, with the accent on the bar. The “accent on the bar’’ is good—for Savannah —and nat ural. Now listen for the trans port’s captain to put his accent on the bar when he arrives—and his vessel on the bar before he gets back to sea. Hall Caine says in a Boston interview : “I have read criti cisms on myself for having ut t red opinions of my own work, ‘The Christian,’ whereas really 1 have maintained" an absolute si’ence. I never have given my views on the subject nor can I do so consistently.” Now let the fellow who has ' been “raising Caine” step to the front and apologize. Hanna has made prosperity so lavish that McKinley doubt less found it necessary to give the country that magnificent — in point of length—measago in order that they would have choice literature with which to while away the long and tedious Holidays.McKinley is a fatherly ruler, and so is his Aunt Hanna. "'g' I “ T— *~ BRIGHT BITS. Handsome is as handsome very seldom does. lhe nntorman on an electric car is a non-conductor. The man who is dissatisfied with his woi k is never happy. Speaking of fireworks, David was the original giant cracker. The man who starts out to meet trouble never has to go half way. There are people w ho actually believe their troubles interest : , • I others. It isn’t necessary fora woman ■to be an artist in order to draw , attention. A man often has more respect for his swryant than his servant has for the man. Mtn take opposite side* on tiie money question, but the majoiity are on the outside. The French may be fickle in ; everything else, but they are ‘ always faithful in their love—of * chaige. i In China a wife is never seen by her husband before marriage in this country some wives sel- see their husband* after marriage—Chicago Daily News. If the war department is de termined to receive the negro into the regular army ad infini tum, says the Americus Times Recorder, it should first see that there are sufficient army posts in the north to accommodate him, when on garrison duty. In the sense of being a real friend of the negro, the south is far ahead of any other section , be cause here he exists in such numbers that we know his mer its and demerits lie is all right in his place, but when vested with the least semblance of au thority, he becomes an Mito'er able nuisance to his superiors, which is invariably i rovocative of riot and bloodshed. This, of course, is most likely to happen where the negro population is large. Gov. Jones, of Arkansas, is right in protesting against a negro regiment being sent to do garrison duty at Little Rock. “Spain trusted me,” says Miss lessie SchUy. Os course Spain did. Spain was troubled, heartsore and dispondent. She had appealed to the nations for succor, and found there was not a sucker in the lot. When she hearrf a kindly voice and, look ing up, saw the pitying face of Miss Jessie, she didn’t do a thing but lay her throbbing head on Miss Jessie’s gentle bosom aild sob. “Miss Schley,’’ said Spain, in a broken voice, “I trust you End the war if you think best.” Thereupon Miss Jo sie made sure that her hat was on straight and went out and ended the war.—Kansas City Journal. A French scientist has discov ered a serum that will cure a snakebite if injected into the system within four hours after the bite of the snake.

Every member of the old Portland (Ore.) lav- firm Mitch ell, Dolph & Simons has been elected to the United States senate. Mr. Mitchell, is retired, Mr. Dolph is dead and Mr. Simons was elected last month. Lillian Russell says she never eyen heard of the husband who is now trying to alivorce her. Can this comic opera star be trying to spring an “astral mar riage” game on the public? j B “ How Do I Look ? ” How frequently a woman asks this question! How much thought and study she devotes to it! It ir natural. A woman hates to think that sh_ is growing day by day less charming and attractive and youthful to her husband’s eyes than in the days of courtship. A woman may alwavs retain her charms and the vivacity and freshni ss of youth if she will take the proper care of her health. A tremendous percentage of ill health in women is due to weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preset iption is an unfail ing remedy for all disorders of this nature. It allays inflammation, hi Us ulceration, stops debilitating drains and soothes and tones the nerves. It preserves in a woman all the charm of healthy youth. Thou sands of women have testified to its mar velous merits. “ Favorite Prescription ” is sold by all re spectable dealers in medicines. Deal only where you are honestly treated. Any store keeper who tries to give you a substitute for what you demand is not treating you honestly and you should take your trade elsewhere. “ For nine years I have suffered with falling ofinte rna! organs,” writes Mrs Marv Williams, of Raleigh, Wake Co., NC.

The Petit Journal Pour Hire, I of Paris, has made such outra-. geous fun of the trip of the Ger-; man Emperor that, at the re quest of the German Ambassa dor, the issue containing a long and offensive article has, it i> eaid, been suppressed. Part of the article, which is illustrated, gives what purports to be ex tracts from the Kaiser’s diary, v hich show him to be displeas e 1 that he could not walk on the Sea of Galilee, but determined to try sgaia at Berlin, when the frost sets in. The Spanish naval appropria tion for next year w ill doubtless be invested in life preservers. This suggestion is food for thought, and if not acted upon, the Spanish men-of wars-men will continue to make food for fishes. If Uncle Siaih doesn’t soon let up on his winning gait in die international cake walk, the en vious rage of French and Ger man newspaper editors will make those gentry unfit for pub lication.
