- tumorous The Jolly Jester. Dr. Archibald Drum, a member of the select circle that surrounded Mrs. Hashley's festive board, was no doubt a nice young man, but as an exploiter of merry jests he was a unique and monumental failure. No matter how obvious the point of his "funny story" he was sure to blissfully miss it and leave his listeners In a mild state of wonderment as to where the mirth began. One attempt was at dinner, when he asked Mrs. Hashley the time-honored riddle, "Why is the tin can tied to a dog's tail like death?" Everybody < knew the facetious answer?" It is bound to a cur"?but, led by their polite landlady, they all gave it up, i whereat Archibald announced that "It is likely to happen." i Another of Archie's bonmots was a trihntp to his breediner. The problem < presented was as to what part of a dog is seen when one uses an X-ray upon the canine's lungs, the happy solution being that one sees the seat of his pants. t But our hero not liking the plebian < sound of the word "pants," gave his ,< answer. "You will see the seat of his s trousers." "Why is a lawyer like a restless sleeper?" queried Archibald, and every ] one wondered what his version would | be of the answer, which is, "First he lies on one side and then on the other." ; "Why, don't you know that one?" he 1 exclaimed scornfully. "First he lies on one side and then he lays on the i other." < I The Jacky Learns?Discipline . aboard the battleship Texas was abund- ( antly exemplified yesterday, says the j New York Sun, by the action of a ] jacky while an officer was showing him how the faucets on a new shower- ] bath are operated. ] "See this valve?" said the officer, j "You will always have to open that ? before turning the faucets for the ] shower. Should you fail to open it j you will gee no water. j "Aye, aye, sir," said the Jacky, i standing at attention, with a solemn i look. i The officer, fearing that his explana- ] tion might not be understood, stepped \ under the shower and turned on both ] faucets. j Someone had opened the lower ] valve, and when the young officer ] opened the faucets the water came , down through the shower in a deluge, soaking his uniform. ] Still standing at attention and with ] the most respectful look of interest in . the proceedings of his superior officer, the jacky watched the practical demonstration of the working of the faucets, never allowing a smile to cross his | face. < "I think I understand the workings j of it now, sir," he said. , ? ] When T.hey Met.?"Are you good ] at solving riddles?" inquired Ross of j Reid the other day. "I'm not great on puzzles at any j time," replied Reid; "but what have ] you got?" i "Well, supposing a train leaves Lon- | don for Edinburgh and travels sixty ( miles an hour; and another train ] leaves Edinburgh for London at the ( same time and travels fifty miles an j hour, which will be the farthest away i from London when they meet?" 1 Reid pondered a moment, and then i confidently replied; i "I should say the train which ieft t London, seeing it traveled ten miles an hour faster than the other." , Ross laughed, and told Reid to try i again, but the latter maintained that 1 he was right. I "Umph!" remarked Ross, as he pre- i pared to mount an approaching tram- j car, "now, don't you think both trains would be the same distance from ( London when they met?" I And when Reid thought a moment < and saw through the puzzle It was i well for Ross that he was several hun- ( dred yards away.?Tit-Bits. Safe Mind Reading.?Drina De 1 Wolfe, the actress, was a conspicuous 1 figure at the Saratoga races, says the i New York Tribune. After the races 1 one evening Miss De Wolfe, dined at : Canfleld's. A young Harvard man, un- : invited, joined her and her friends. He was rich and good looking, but some- ; thing of a bore. i "I am studying mind reading?telepathy?thought transference, and all that sort of thing," he announced, taking a sip of champagne. "How are you getting on?" said Miss De Wolfe. "Oh, famously," he replied. "I can to a certain extent, read people's thoughts already. It isn't hard. It is nothing like as hard as you'd think." "Could you," said Miss De Wolfe, "read my thoughts?" The young man looked in her eyes. "I am sure I could," he said. "Do you know what I am thinking now?" she asked. "Yes," he said. She sneered slightly. "Well it is safe, at any rate," she said. "You have too much conceit to repeat it." A Note In Passing.?"Yes," said the bandmaster, "we do have troubles with our musicians sometimes. "Once we were engaged to play at a funeral. Our notice was very short, so we had no rehearsal, we reached the cemetery without any mishap, but there something happened. We were to play a solemn measure while the body was being lowered into the grave. Only a few instruments were needed. I was slowly and solemnly swinging my baton, the spectators were silently weeping, when suddenly the trombone gave a loud, long blast, enough to wake the dead. Some of the mourners fainted, the players stopped in consternation, and I jumped over chairs and racks to where the trombonist, a dull, heavy German, sat. stolidly gaz- ' ing at his music. " 'What the devil did you mean by bursting out that way?' I shouted. "He raised his eyes slowly to mine. 1 " 'Veil, I vas vatching de mooslc, und : just den a horse fly got on de paper, i I t'ought he vos a note, und blayed 1 him.

POPULATION PARADOX. Nearo Birth Rate Less Than Death Rate, Yet Numbers Increase. The general tendency of the colored population throughout the whole country, north and south, is from the rural into the city districts?from farms to the city?and should the mortality in the city he greater than it is in the country districts the Colored population, like the Indian population in other days, would diminish to th# point of extinction. In sixty-two of the cities of the country, fifty recently reported in the census office, show an excess of deaths among the Negroes. In New Orleans, for instance, there were, last year, 1,700 births among the Negroes and 3,300 deaths; in St. Louis, 600 births and 1.200 deaths; in Chicago, 400 births and 700 deaths; and so on through the large cities, the exception being chiefly in the southwest and southern California. Notwithstanding this, the colored population of the United States, which gets no augmentation whatever from immigration, continues steadily to incease, and in a ratio very little less than that of th white population, added to enormou; ly by new-comers from other lands. This paradox is explained by the fact that the birth among colored people is very much larger in the country districts of the south than is the death rate. There is constantly a large and natural increase in the colored population in the rural and semi-rural districts. In percentage it is not high, but in totals it is considerable. Col ored people who flock to the large cities do not go there In childhood, but when at or near adult years. Colored girls from sixteen to twenty seeking domestic service go to the large cities, and boys seeking the attractions of large cities or towns in preference to life on the farm or plantation constitute the chief element of addition to the colored population of towns and cities. Any person who is possessed of the idea that the colored population of the United States is dying out needs only to consult the census figures to see his mistake. There were 6,580,000 colored people in this country by the census of 1880; there were 7,500,000 by the census of 1890, and 8,850,000 by the census of 1900. There is no diminution of colored population in the United States, or in any part of it, despite the figures the big cities show.?New lora sun. MORAL AND MANLY GREATNESS. Touching Tribute to the Late General Micah Jenkins. The following just afid touching tribute to his old companion in arts and arms is from the gifted pen of Col. Asbury Coward, who is more competent than any one else to describe the worth and services of the noble, chivalrous Jenkins. The letter is addressed to Col. John P. Thomas, of Columbia, and is printed with his admirable sketch in Sunday's State: Dear Colonel: In asking me to add to your proposed tribute to Micah Jenkins you have imposed upon me the heart-trying task of lifting the pall from a long lost and buried love. Drawn together at the age of fifteen by affinities which neither of us tried or cared to analyze, our thoughts, our aspirations, our lives flowed on for thirteen years like the sap to twin buds up a single stem. And yet we were not alike?we seemed rather to be complements of each other. Now, as I view him in a perspective of nearly forty passed years, he towers above all my intimate contemporary acquaintances as the embodiment of all moral excellencies, of all the potentialities of manly greatness. As a youth he was vivacious, impulsive and Impetuous, ' ' ' ?? ' DUl nis vivacity was cuwicu umj what was clean and pure; his Impulsiveness and impetuosity were ever under the watchful guard of honor. I have never known a man more prompt to make frank and spontaneous amends for any hasty word or act that would unjustly wound another. To bBjBj^fldrous, just and brave seemed be the law of his nature. He scorned a meanness as he did a lie. He took great delight in the society of ladies and his attitude towards them was of the chivalrous character that poets give to the palmiest days of knighthood. He was no recipient or retailer of scandalous gossip, and he scrupulously shunned all ribald, loose talk that some men indulge in when far from the restraints of home life. During the first two years of his cadet life he had fallen into the senseless |B freely using profane expreshis conversation. A com( not free himself from the same M^fc^ndertook to lecture him on the subject, and the result was a banter from Jenkins that both should drop the habit from that moment, with the understanding that the first to lapse should turn his back and let the other strike him with utmost force between the shoulders. In less than five minutes. Jenkins incurred the penalty. The blow was given with vigor and received in good faith, and for both of them the habit was broken for life. From that day no one heard a- profane expression fall from his lips; from that day, with him began in earnest the discipline of self-control. For over five years after his graduation the responsibilities of an instructor of youths carried on this discipline and prepared him for the tragedy of patriotism in which he was about to take a part. In his 20th year he was confirmed in the Episcopal church of Yorkville and continued a regular communicant and "Christ's faithful servant" until his life's end. His was a simple, unquestioning faith in God's promise. His piety was absolutely free from anything like ostentation, and at home or in camp, or on the field of battle his Bible of his prayer book was always in reach of his hand. On many occasions in the field we read the Word together. One of these most deeply punctuated in my memory happened about midday on the field of Second Mansasas or Groveton. It was known that the decisive struggle would take place that afternoon and I was sent as staff officer to place certain brigades in position. Passing a short distance in rear of Jenkins' brigade I came upon Jenkins reclining on the slope of a hill. The young and handsome Col. Thomas J. Glover was lying on his back, pillowing his head on his two hands; the staunch and lovable Cato Seabrook, adjutant general of Jenkins's brigade, was partly reclining near by. After dismounting and greeting them and giving such information as I had of the status of things, I noted that Jenkins held a small book in his hand, with one finger inserted between the leaves to mark the place where the reading had been interrupted by my advent. Anticipating my inquiry, he said: "We have been reading some ot the Gospels and Epistles in the Prayer Book and commenting on Paul's soldier spirit; listen." He read that part of the Epistle to the Epheslans beginning, "Put on the whole armor of God." At the conclusion he said: "God grant that at the end, to. both God and the country, each one of us may be able to say with Paul, "I have fought a good fight; I have kept the faith." Alas! Alas! When night fell upon that fateful field Glover and five other South Carolina colonels were dead; poor, plus Seabrook was slowly dying at the field hospital from a bullet through his body, and Jenkins was having his severe wound dressed by the surgeons. Of the thousands of young men whom our state sent to the front to . vindicate her course and to uphold her , honor none was better equipped than i Jenkins for the struggle. His training | in the military school of the state, his experience in the military training of youths and the self-discipline neces- j sarily involved, backed by his strong, j clear intellect and forceful will, all ? conspired to make him an Ideal officer. His handling of his troops In the battle of Seven Pines brilliantly Illustrated his superb skill and audacity. Having received the simple order to drive the enemy from his front, he moved his well-drilled troops forward with the steadiness of a parade movement, over abattis and breastworks, through camp after camp; he broke line after line of opposing forces in his relentless advance of at least a mile and a half. Finally at dark, with no enemy In sight and far in advance of the general alignment of the Confederate forces, he formed his line across the Williamsburg road and literally "Sheathed his sword For lack of argument." This single splendid deed was enough to win undying fame. Was he ambitious? Yes, he was full of an ambition free from all sordid or selfish taint?an ambition for high achievement in the cause of humanity and country; the noble ambition of exalted souls. He was a magnetic man among men. The rare blending in him of tenderness of heart with great force of character could not fall to attract and dominate all who came within his sphere of influence. The last scene in his too short, but glorious career still haunts my waking dreams. We had reached the Wilderness just In time to check the enemy's pursuit of A. P. Hill's broken brigades. Shortly afterwards the enemy's left flank was turned by Kershaw and Mahone, and his troops were driven in rapid flight back to the Brock road. As the order was given for his brigade to advance Jenkins made my regiment the battalion of direction, and indicated the point of attack, then grasping my hand with more than usual fervor said: "God bless you, old man. Tell your men that South Carolina looks to each individual son to win this tight today." He left me to join Longstreet and Kershaw with their staff officers and couriers. Suddenly a volley of firing was begun by some of our troops in front, and as suddenly it stopped. In a few minutes Col. Robert Sims rode up to tell me that Jenkins and a courier or a staff officer were killed, and Gen. Longstreet probably mortally wounded by that firing. In a moment I was at my friend's side: but to my passionate appeal for recognition no answer came?the bullet was too deeply imbedded in the base of the brain. After the lines were arranged ror the night I rode back to the field hospital to have my own wound attended to, and to take a last look upon the face of my hero friend. I could scarcely believe that he was dead, for, as the fitful flashes of the torchlight fell upon his face, I saw the same sweet, proud smile of victory that lighted up hi9 face at our late parting. For him, a glorious death! For those who were left, only woe! Here, dear colonel, I must stop. Please place this crumpled leaf somewhere in the beautiful chaplet you are weaving around the memory of my dear heroic friend. Very truly yours, Asbtiry Coward. Well to Be Remembered. When tired, drink hot water as a tonic. When hot and thirsty drink it as a cooler, for It never disappoints, says the Philadelphia Press. Headache almost instantly yields to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck. A strip of flannel or towel folded several times lengthwise and dipped in hot water, then slightly wrung out and applied to the neck of a child suffering with an acute attack of croup will usually relieve the sufferer In the course of ten minutes if the flannel is kept hot. A folded towel, dipped In hot water, quickly wrung out and applied quickly over the seat of pain will in most cases promptly relieve. There is no domestic remedy that so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly. Many eminent bacteriologists call attention to the power of fruit juices to kill disease germs. Lemon juice and apple juice are especially mentioned, the one containing citric acid and the other malic acid. Cholera germs are killed in fifteen minutes by either, and typhoid germs in half an hour. If a lemon be squeezed into a glass of water containing cholera germs, the water may be drunk with perfect safety if allowed to stand fifteen or twenty minutes. A fruit diet will cleanse the stomach and the alimentary canal and drive off many of the germs that cause disease. A Citizen's Privilege.?A newspaper man went to a merchant in Broadway a day or two ago to get him to vouch for the truth of an article he was about to publish says the New York Press. "You remember the story," he said. "Oh, yes; very well indeed. Splendid story, wasn't it?" "First-class. Our city editor would like to have you verify it." The man jumped up about a foot from the chair. "You don't mean to say that you have written it for publication?" he exclaimed. "Why, my goodness! I verify it! I verify nothing. I don't know anything about it. I never heard of it before." "But you told me the story." "I know I did; but I don't stand for its publication. I won't be mixed up with it. If your editor were to come here himself and ask me about it, I'd deny it in court or out of court. I hold that it is a citizen's privilege to deny anything that goes into a newspaper if the publication is objectionable to him. You may go ahead and publish this story if you dare; but you will bear the responsibility; I will not!"

An Aoirrjal Story For Little FolKs The Two Roosters Two roosters who had lived together In great happiness for many years got into a discussion over which was worth the most money. "I," said the younger, "belong to one of the oldest and most exclusive families in the state. My great-grandfather was owned by Napoleon III., and nothing but the bluest blood runs in my veins. Here is my pedigree. - < ?- V'-* |=f' * '(i!L MIVI AM/^ ?222SSX[<^ ^ v?_ - *- -? FELL OYEB DEAD. You can see that it goes back to the time when chickens first Inhabited the earth."

And with that he gave the proud rooster such a terrible thrashing that it fell over dead on the pedigree it had been showing. Then the old rooster started to crow, and said, "A live game bird is worth a thousand blue blooded ones." and he went on picking corn.
