She was asked' by her host to recite something. She could think of nothing to suit the occasion and hegged to.be let off with'a short selection in her native language. ? Her audience could not understand a word, but were enthralled by her gestures and tones. She received tremendous applause; Just before the guest went, her hostess said: "Do tell me what you recited." "It has no name," said the actress. I was counting from 1 to 230?in Polish. On the Square.?"We had quite a game up to the boarding house last night" "Poker?"

Cash a check for an "old friend." 2. Buy oil stock. 3. Bet on a sure winner. 4. Donate to a Democratic campaign fund. 5. Live at a hotel for a -week. 6. Stock up his basement. The Psychological Moment.?Reginald was trembling but he knew the music must be faced. "Shall I ask your father for his consent tonight, darling?" he inquired. "You had better." spoke up the small brother unexpectedly from behind the sofa. "Pa'? in his stocking feet." Recount Demanded.?A member of parliament recently -became a parent. On announcing the news the doctor exclaimed, gleefully: "I congratulate you, sir: you are the father of triplets." The politician was astounded. "No, no, no," he replied, with more than parliamentary emphasis. "There must be some mistake in the returns. I demand a recount!" Atta Boy!?A messenger boy in the Broadway office of a telegraph company is always reading lurid novels. The manager said to him one day: "Charlie, what's.your ambition in life?" The boy put down his Indian story and said gravely: "To have peope tremble like leaves at the mention of my name." Money Earned.?The pompous magistrate, whq had just been put up for parliament, .glared over his spectacles at the tattered prisoner who was dragged before him on a charge of vagrancy.

Very Engaging.?"I don't think Mr. Hunker is much of a conversationalist." observed Miss Elder.

I Putting on Penalties. ' The auditor's office is engaged in ad| dihg penalties'to1 the' charges against | dellhtjuent taxpayers, 1 per cent, for January, 2 per cent, for February, March and April and 7 per cent, for May. These'"penalties go on automatically aS'they are incurred; but.the actual entry off the books is not so automatic. That means work, long-tedious painstaking work, and all this work is necessary before executions commence. Most of the executions are against small taxpayers; but a few large ones are included in the list. FEDERAL PATRONAGE ' No Important New Developments as to South Carolina. Correspondence The Yorkvllle Enquirer Washington, May 28?There is very little that is new to report in connection with the distribution of South Carolina patronage in so far as any information that is to be obtained, at this end of the line is concerned. Friends and associates of Jos. \V. ToJbert, national, committeeman, say that they are ndt getting their business attended to as rapidly as they would like; but thev explain that the delay is.Aue.mOre than anything else to the chaotic condition of affairs incident to extensive y changes in the personnel of the departments. .^The post -office department is in better working shkpe' tha'n any of the other, departments and progress here seems Ao be quite satisfactory. A number* of recommendations 'have al- | ready been approved and others will f be approved later. There seems to be very little doubt that Mr. Toibert will j have things his own way here. Also- s.o far as can be ascertained j there will be no opposition to Mr. Tol- I hcrt's choire for district attorney and ] collector of internal revenue and j announcements of appointments are j expected within the next few days.
