The M.yor and the Editor.
A story which is a favorite with1
General Joselpli Wheeler rellites to
the mayor of a southern town and
the editor of i papeir pgbli shed
there. The editor, a little in1, had
caustically criti-ised file mayor, who
was a giaIt in statlre, whereupon
the lai ter called iuponi the newspa.
per man mml said: "If it were n1ot
for the dignity of yi oflice I'd wipe N
you ofY the planet.. Get out of town, I
.or I shall certainly (10 so when my
term is finished." 'The editor did
not leave town. Instead lie became
a candidate for mayor and \wIS vie
torious at the polls. Again the a
myor cilled upon hii and deliver- P
ed himself of a tirade, at the con -
sion of which the c * i
meekly : ' our . .l <
-,y m .,or, it's just this
way : .I he
shal - .iMi t you Stepl ouit I
. tOp in, and then of course <
our respect for the dignity of my t
oleiee wvill protect me from vio
lence."
As Broad as it Was Long. I
ILloyd M ifflin, the poet, lives in I
retirement in a beautiful hou.e at
Columbia, Pa., but iow aind then
for the sake of change lie makes a
short visit to New York or to PBos
ton.
Not long ago Mr. Mliflin attended
a church service of a sensationl
sort. The preaCher discoursed upon
a delicate subject with had taste,
and ir. Mi ill in for a whole hour
sliuddered with disgust and yawned
with lassitude.
At the (nd some one asked the
poet what he thoulighit of the seruoni.
lie replied
"It was as broad as it was long."
The Transparent Man.
A strantge humian freak has just
died at 'o1p1ditz, Plolhmcmin, in tile
person of "count" Orloll. This in
dlividuat~l, whio was kntown as "the
tranfs)Imrentt man i," anid wvas exhibilit
ed all over Flurop~e, was ilmast en
tirely fleshle Iss, htis fra mem being bit
skini and1 hone, and his hmones pos
sessed suchl a pmeuliar quttlity of
tranmspamrency I imt one could read
the dialI of ai wat ch thlrough hiis leg.
.Needless to say, Orloif was a consid
erale puzzle to th le medical frester
nity when in thme ileshi, a term of
strictly figurat ive ap~plication in his
case.
A Blind Man's Question.
. Williamii dmes, whlo holds the
chair of p)sychoalogy at IHarvard, is<
a brother of lHen ry James, thle nov
elisL. Professor- Jatnes is noted for
the amny epigmms that lie utters
exteumpore ini Ihis course of H arv'ard
lectures. Onie day Professor James
was talking to a class upon the sub
ject of beauty, and a student in
terrup1ted to1 ask a stulpid queist ion.
"Why," said t his student, "is cv..
erybody fond of beauty ?"
Professor James sneered a little.
"Yours," lhe said, "is a blind man's
ques tioni."
Dressing a Speech.
never wirote ai speech in my~
ul .., never but aonce used one
nutothmer man had writ teni. I
envy te mn who can sit dlown int
cold blood and achieve a t hoaugh~t,
then dIress it-put clothes on it,
pants, coat, vest, shoes anid collari
and turn it out in full attire, as
Minerva sprouited from the brain of
Jlupitecr."
Nerve Racking Noises.
Steamt whiistles have fallen under
thme displeasure of thle p~hysicianms
of Salem, Mash., and tweunty-four
of fte doctors have petitioned the
city council to adopt strict regla.
tionus concerning th eir use within
the city limtits. They declare that
thme noise made by them is often "a
matter of life and death to pcersons
seriously ill" attd a nerve racking
nd1 discomforting thing to most
