News, has written a play entitled

4ake the leading part. for his ex
perience. in that line will make
him a star. But what has be
come of the book of the same

cle. iR T o :
» What has become of the book;,
you ask, Major? The book sold
like hot-cakes. The first editicn
of 4000 was exhausted within a
shert time after leaving the press.
‘We haveone bundle of 25.0 f them:.
That's all; and we don’t care to
ssell these. We could sell two or
three hundred of.them .in this
Zown, if we had them. The few,
@we haveleft we expect to distrib.

you may live to see the play, Ma

A Spanish War Crit 5
\ / v ™ s
L Domimedore Dewey was at Hong-
Jsong. The navy department had sent
him no preliminary' ot'?en. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
icy or what the ultimate plan of cam
paign would be. The navy department
dido't itself know. 'Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
sometimes are vital, But our Wash
ington officlals, were only n?nd to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by a caplegram from Dewey
Informing them that the British gove
ernor of Hongksng insisted that our
fleet must leave there, We were so
dazed by the immediate exigencles of
war that the English government had
to prod us in the ribs to wake us up.
Then our Washijigton authorities fs
sued an order and not till then, They
told Dewey to proceed to the mL
pione Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish fleet. In other words,
they gave him the stereotyped war or
der in the phraseology of the signal
code, which, literally transiated, read:
“Ge ahead and do the be3st you cam
We give it up.”—Colller's, * .
¢ The Silver Thread.
A matron in Harlem was calling
upon another matron in Harlem, Nel
ther was ’young, but:.one looked
more so. \ ) 3
“Really, my dear,” sald the one that
lpoked more so, “you ought to have
your hair treated. It's becoming quite
gray in spots. See what a difference
it has made with me. You would look
much younger--really.” '
“But I don't care to look mmch
‘younger if I must dye my hair to do
sO,” was the reply., *“I prefer to be
natural.: If the Lord semds me gray
hair there's a good reasony:and I'm sat
isfled.” .
“But think of your children, my
dear, ‘They're grown up now.” .
“What have they got to de with #t?
“Why, don’t you sees The younger
you look the younger it makes them
appear. And your girls are way past
tweaty, you know.” -

was still looking dazed when her vis
itor departed.—New York Globe.

: Carving Scissors. =
*I thought I knew .all about scls
sors,” sald the man, “I had seen tall
ors' scissors for cutting heavy cloth,
dressmakery scissors for cutting iimsy
fabrics and face and still other scissors
for cutting paper, finger nails, grape
vinés, all kinds of metals and even. for
shearing sheep, but in spite of that
wide knowledge of scissors I was puz
zied when I saw tbe large, peculiarly
shaped pair of scissors lying in the
showcase. '~
t%‘What gre these sciscors for? 1
asked the clerk, : |
“«Carving. meat! he sald. “With
scissors of this kind carving becomes
mere child's play.’ ; |

sald L. F
“‘Nobody does use them,’ sa:d'?:the!
clerk—‘that is, only“a very stew. In
Europe carving scissors are populafl
Because they cut right through meat,
gristle, bone and all, but it takes a
little praetice to learn to manipulate
the things, and nobody in this country
has patience ¢nough for that’”—Ex
