BIIyT. ARP8 CONUNDRUMS UK ANBWKIW YliK SCHOOL Q1IIL9. UivM Hume IiitereHtinK Puzalee and Baya the Hem Tart of Parental I?i'*> !? to FleMA the Iilttto One*. Two Bchool girls duwn Id Alubama write to know wby It la tbat gecso will not eat corn when it is Btrowu around the circumference of a circle. They say tbat their presiding oldor couldont tell, and advised them to ask me. I ?uppoeod it was a conundrum, or tbat there was some catch In the question? a catch llkothoone, Wby will a guinea pig's eyes fall out If you hold It up by the tall V As the guinea pig has no tall, of courae, his eyos aro In no dang er. But a lady friend who rulses geeso assures me that she has often soon them tempted with corn or other grain Btrown thickly round a circle, and they will not venture near It; but If Beat or* ed, they will, after careful Inspection, approach and eat. Wbat the circle l as to do with It Is past my ken though wo do know that goeso march In straight llnoB and the wild goose lly In straight angles. A goose Is a very suspicious fowl, and is always on the lookout for danger. A gooso basent much sense. In fact, a gooso is a gooso ; but their devotion to each othor when mated is beautiful. How faithfully the gamier will stand by his mate while she sits on her nest. She plucks the down from his broaat and covers her eggs. How gallantly he escorts hor to the grass and escorts her back when she loaves them for food. How tondorly thoy care for the brood when it comes, and never leave them until feathered and grown. There are no divorces nor grass widows Id the Anaerian family?what a pity wo aro not all goose. But, spoaklng of conundrums re minds mo of how a lady caught me yesterday when she asked me how the water got Into tho watermelon, and as I proceeded to oxpound tho chomieal t>roce8&o8 that all fruits and vogetables lad to go through, sho stopped mo and said : "Ob, major, tho water gets into the watormolon because It Is planted in the spring." 1 got evon with her, though, by asking her why was au olephant like a lady's bolt. When ?be gave it up, I said, " Because there U a rb' in hoth." "Why," she said, "there is no ' b ' in olephant.'" " There Is a ' b ' In ' both,' " said I, " 'Bo-t-h '?you can't spell 1 both 1 without a ' b.'" It takes a little time to seo that. And there is anothor conundrum that was claBBlc whon I was young? "(JharKe, Cheater charge?On, Stanley, on? Wero tho last words oi Maim ion. Had 1 but been in (Stanley's place Toare would have moistened Chester's face." Tho smoll of an onion would have brought a tear or two, I reckon. Now, let those sweet school girts strain their minds over that, and then let them search the scriptures and toll me this. There Is roferonce made In the old and new testamentB to a person who died as no other porson ever died; whose body never saw corruption, whose name la never spoken and the material of whose shroud is found in every household. There is no catch In that?it Is a fact. Ask tho presiding elder. 1 am Indulging In these thoughts to please the children, for that Is the biggest and best part of parental life, and Is what the world is working for. BometlinoB I cannot help ruminating upon wbat pleased mo when I was young and my mind was expanding into knowledge day by day. How I did strain over the problem of tho fox and the goose and the hag of corn. And there was tho olephant puzzle, where an old man died leaving elghteon elo Ehunts to his three boos?ono to have alf of them,another ono-third of them and the other one-ninth. But before the division ono elephant died, and seventeen wouldont divide even at all. So thoy consulted a wiso old nubor who had but ono olophant. Ho gener ously drove his one Into tho herd of seventeen and then divided tbom, giv ing to one of tho boys nine, to another six and to tho other two. This took but seventeen, and so ho drove his own elphant back home again. How 1b that? Wascnt he a smart old fellow to satisfy the boys and save his ole phant ? But by and by these school children advance In their toons and begin to choose BweethcartB, and tho boys brush their hair moro carefully and tho girls cast glance* that an. shy und sly and read poetry and mark the loving pas sages, and llowors grow lovollor and the birds sing sweeter and the world grows brighter, and tho days of love's young dream have come. Delightful days, delicious momories?oven an old man loves to revel In them. No won der tho poets wroto so tenderly of love and the novelists made It tho chief sub ject of their atory. I was ruminating the other day about compiling and publishing a book?a little book that could bo sold for loss than a dollar, a book of goma?poetic gems by tho best cithers, and urging evory parent to buy it for tho children, for it would help to mould and rotino thoir charac tors and give them pleasure and com fort all their lives. My good father en couraged me to commit to memory some Of the sweetest poems that wore ever written. I can repeat " The Hermit " now, and " Gray's Elegy " and " Gon evleve " and " Byron's Address to tho Ocean" and " Hohenlinden," and such as these were an Inspiration to mo aa I grew to manhood." If I wore teaching school I would have the boys and girls to recite them. What a book of gems could bo made of selections from the old authors, such poems as have not boon written in lifty years and could not bo written now. What poot could ap proach such beauty of language and sentiment as that vorse from Gray? " Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed eaves of ocean bear; Full many a dower ia born to IdiiRh un seen And waste its awcetneaa on the desert air." or those two voraoB from Goldsmith beginning, " And what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep." ' or his sad Miming to the weak or box ? " When lovely woman stoops to folly And loarns too late that men betray, What art can soothe her melancholy. What charm can drive her grief away ; The only art her grief can amotber And stifle every burning sigh And bring repentance to her lover And wring his bosom?is to die." Then there 1b Tom Hood's " Bong of the Shirt" that awakened all London, and his other Bweot, sad poom, " I Remember, I Uomomber tho Houbo Where I was Born." I would include those heroic poems, "Tho Burial of Sir John Moore," by Wolfe, and "Mar co Bozarls,'' by Haflcck. Never was a more sweetly sad and toarfui vurae written on death than that of Hallcck, beginning " Come to the bridal chamber death, Come to the mother when she feels For the first time her tirat-born's breath." And thero ia Mrs. Ueman's apostrophe to death, ?' Loaves havo thoir time to fall." and Longfellow's " Haalm oi Life," and Mrs. Smith's exquisite versos, " If I Should Die Tonight," and Tom Moore's, "This World Is All a Fleet ing 8how," and Mrs. Barbald's un equallod lines on " Life," " Say not good night, but in tome brighter clime Bid me good morning." Horace Smith's " Odo to tho Flowers," and his " Address to tho Mummy," of oourse, should go In, and the " Fisher man's Prayer," by Joan Ingelow?bloss her sweet momory, and " The Cotter's Saturday Night," by Burns, and "Abou Ben Aehom," by Leigh Hunt, and that ?eree by Langhorno that Waltor Scott wept over?that weeding mother hunt lr.g over a battlefield fur bur husband slain? " r.ent o'er her lialio?her eyes dissolved III dew, Die hie drops mingling with the milk he drew Gave the sail presage of his future yearn The child of misery baptised in tears." There was a painting ol that sad picture in an artist's studio, und wh n Sir Walter looked upon it and read the lines underneath he was overcome, and wept like a child. Who does not h v to weep sometimes over such plotUI*< s or such poems? My dear mother u oi to sing to mo " The Exile of Erin," by Campbell, and It did me. good to cry ? tears are the embalmers of pity. Of course I would not omit soino hoautlful gems from Coleridge and Wordsworth, Montgomery and Newton, Cowper and Cray and many others, hut I would like to make up a b uk that would adorn the tlrobide of every good family. There is one poem 1 have not mentioned, for l do not know who wrote it, nor do 1 rememb \r but a f w lines. Its title Is, " Where Shall tho Soul Find Host '.-'" and the verse I re call is : "And thou serenes! moon that with such holy face hooks down upon the earth asleep ill night's embrace.

Twenty live Hundred Missionaries, One Hundred Thousand Protestant Converts, t Prof. John Fryer, in Alnsleo's.) " When China was opened In 1842, after the Qrst war with Great Britain, 100,0'JO converts were already enrolled In tho church, and eighty foreign missionaries were found ministering to the scattered thicks. Since then tho I toman Catholics have more than re covered their lost ground in China. Their converts are upwards of a mil lion In China proper. Imposing cathe drals, church edifices, schools, col leges, orphanages, loundllDg hospitals and other buildings testify everywhere to their activity and prosperity. "The Creek Church began its labors in i'ekin in tho year Uis\*>, when a treaty made with Kussla allowed the establishment of a church and college with an archimandrite In charge. In recent years this church has boon working with some earnestness both in China and Japan. In tho latter country it has made more converts than either Catholics or Protestants have made. In proportion as Russian Influence inoreases in Pekln it is ex pected that the Creek Church lelluonco will OXPSnd among the Chinese. "It will he notioed that all these Christian missionary labors, extending over ton or more centuries, wore, to a greater or le.-s degree, a preparation for tho work of our Protestant mis sionaries. Yet their commencement of the task of spreading evangelistic doctrines nearly ninety years ago was mucn beset with difficulties, tome of which were the results of the Kenan Catholic mismanagement. The lives of Hubert Morrison and other ptonoore of the Protestant faith are well known. It is worthy of note that Morrison was refused a pusage to Chiiiu ia the IC.tst India Company's vessels, and hud, therefore, first to make a voyage to New York. Thence he sailed to China on an American ship, lie was nine months In reaching Macao, and there this missionary?this lirst Anglo-Saxon missionary?began his highly success ful lifework. " What has been subsequently ac complished is told In the reports of the various missionary societies i o,v work ing in China. Tho work Is well organized and the country divided up among the various hoards Tim Evan gelists the Educationist and the M> dl cal missionary each finds his suitable sphere of labor in ministering to the various needs of the people wiio whom each conies in contact. Thus each de partment of the work is now receiving its full share of attention. "Tho present distressed and un settled state of Chii a makes the peo ple look for help and enlightenment to tho missionaries in a way they have never done before. Fifty-three sepa rate organizations are ut work, having a total of about 2,.~>0U missionaries, be sides whom are over ?.UOO native pas tors and assistants. The Protestant converts now number ncariy lOO.OOU, while nearly 40,000 soholara are under instruction in mission schools and col leges. Auxiliary societies ere con tinually being added, such as Bible societies', tract societies, educational societies, mission priming cllijos, Young Men's and Young Women's Christian AeSOOlatiour, Christian F.n deavor sociotlos acd others, all of which are vigorously pushing forward on their special lines the great cause whoso watchword is 'The Christianiza tlon of China.' " All these facts and figures are full of encouragement and hope. 1 he mis sion hospitals, however, appear to im press tho Chinese most with tho dis interestedness and elllolonoy of mis sionary work. It is said thai LI Hung Chang once remarked, 1 We Chinese think wo can take care of our souls well enough ; hut it is evident you can take earo of our bodies heller than wo can ; so scrd us medical missionaries, as many as you like.' This BOntlment Is now generally shared by ail intelli gent Chinese. They inaj not under stand our ^religious systems, but on seeing iho results of I no medical work they cannot fall to admire the philan thropy which establishes dispensaries and hospitals tofj do good to the bodies of suffering humanity, in 'ho namo and imitation of Christ. " In tho three brunches of religion, education and medicine, who can deny that the Christi:.ii misslonai los have not already conferred benefits upon tho Chinese beyond all calculation ! But they have done more. They have helped to awaken China from her lethargy, and to start her ritagnant ideas into motion. Our civil engineers are surveying tho vast territory of China for projected railways; but they are being aided by information fui nlsh od by tho pioneer missionaries. Our merchants are closely following the. missionary routes to open up lucrative trado. The flag of commerce always follows closo behind tho banner of tho cross, and ho who would check tho progress of tho bearer of /nut banner necessarily Injures tho interests of tho Hag of commerce. From tho Em peror downward tho tocsin hogins to DO 'reform,' and when reform really occurs, will not much of the credit bo long to tho faithful laborers now at work in the various branches of mis sionary enterprise ?"

The must realistic description of the horrors attending tho battle of Tloo Tain, and tho only account so far pub lished of tho heroism of tho Japanese soldier who blow up tho wall of the city and blow himself up at the same time, comes in a letter from Corporal i John K.

Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Brother?1 wrote you about the ISth of May from Conception, V. 1. Since then a great many things have transpired that havo been very inter esting and exciting to me. My regi ment received an order about June liOth to proooed to China. We went to Ma nila and from there to Nagasaki, Ja pan, und reached Coma July loth. Tien Tsin is a largo city, a million and a half population. It is divided into several parts, according to tiic creed of the Inhabitants. Tho foreign popu latlon havo a 'concession' and live apart from the Ohinamon. There are some magnificent buildings in V is part of tho city. The main part of Tien Tslu has u huge wall around it. M foot thick and ;*>U feet high. This wall is built in the form of a square, and is about two miles long on each side. <J lite a wall, isn't it f Tho Chiueso bombarded the foreign part of the city from these walls, and most of the line buildings uro In ruins. The big battlo occurred on the 13th, and it did look silly to run infantry up against those walls, but it was done an 1 at frightful cost. Tho British used thoir 45-pound Lyddite gun with terrible t. iTect. In fact, I don't think wo could ever have run them out of there without that gun. The Japs were next to us, and they light like demons and can outdrill any troops 1 over saw. There is not two inches dillerence In tlie height of any Of them. They lost heavily and stood it bravely. One of them volunteered to blow up a part of tho wall with gun cotton, and blow himself up with the wall (it could not bo done otherwise,) and he was allowed to t ry It, so that his troops could get into the city. How he ever got to the wall nobody knows, hut a few minutes after he left an aw ful explosion occurred, a big part of tho wall was down and the brave little Jap went with It. How ia that for he roism V Tho Buss I Ana also lost heavily, and they aro a class of seen who havo my deepest sympathy. Some of them could sneak Gorman, and as we have a good many Germans in our regiment, we learned a great deal ubout them. Their salary umounts to about !I5 cents in our money per month, und it was disgusting as well as pitiful to see -o. dlors of a great nation like Busala walking around picking up little scraps of hardtack that wo had thrown away !

And just think of it we were the lirst to tell them of the Span ish-American war and tho Filipino 'n BUrrcotlon, as they were just from Siberia, where no newspapers or any thing to read is allowed. We went into tho walled city on tho llth, and the sights there wore sicken ing, Without exaggerating, there must have been anywhere from ten to fifteen thousand dead Chinamen over the city. Most of the place is in ruins from the bombarding and is on lire and thou sands of bodies are burned. The Chinamen never touched thoir dead and wounded, and no mutter where you look, it is nothing but dead bodies in all slaves of decomposition and a common occurrence to BOO dog encwiug on one. it was awful !

Hon. James Ij. Trlbblo, of Anderson, ' recently contributed the following arti- j olo to tliu Anderson Intelligencer, anu as j the dispensary advocjites are constantly , harping upon the aid given to the com- ! nion schools by this great moral institu tion, it would be well for the voters who arc being duped by this specious claim for the continuance of the dispensary to investigate the facts and figures given by Mr. Trihblc, and they will see for them selves whether or not the claim is just and reasonable : From the Comptroller Oencral's report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1800, the mill constitutional tax and poll tax for educational purposes aggre gated $714,240 20. This much was ex pended on what is known as the common schools. What else did WO do in this direction V From the State we got from the special State dispensary school fund ] $|:50,u00.ol. The enrollment of pupils for the Scholas'ic year is;?7 <is was V;??"?, 7M'J pupils. Anderson County furnished 11,844 pupils in that enrollment, which leaves for the rest of the State 208,045 pupils. For Anderson County's pupils the treasurer received $ll80u 83 in Decem ber, 1800, Upon tho basis of our enroll ment that was a fraction over 15 ccuts j per pupil. Fifteen cents for a whole year. If we apportion the remaining $128,183 88 among the other 203,045 pupils in the I State each would have a fraction over 18 cents towards his education, which at ten cents per day would give him four days in school. In Andersou it is ex pected that we v. ill tic able to improve on this since $,507.70 up to May, 1000, has already been paid into the tr asuiy, and if the receipts for the remainder of the year is in the same ratio, we will hi , about $10,523.38 to help on the cause of oduoatlon. If, therefore, the enrollment in I'.Mt docs not exceed what it was in the scholastic year 1807-08, (11,844,) the scl'oid children will get about SH cents per pupil towards his cilu ation in 1900. Wonderful ! How do WO manage to do so much to wards education V Answer We. spent for liquor to be sold through the dispen sary $1,593,240, Demon, at s of South Carolina, will you spend $1,508,240 for liquor that ye may boast that ye are edu eating the poor children out of the pro tits at the rate of IS cents per pupil per annum? Who has got that $1,593,240 spent for liquor? You bought the liquoi, but what has it added t ? your wealth ? The people of Anderson County contri buted from $(10,000 to $65,000 per annum to keep the institution a going. What did you get in return? Answer: 1,800.33. Why will yc spend your money for that which is neither bread nor wealth ? If you desire to sec the poor children of the county oducatod, then why don't you take the $00,000 you spend for liquor an nually and educate them V Lot us illustrate i Jones has two or three, perhaps a do/en children. Says be : '? My children need education. 1 must and will educate them." An idea strikes him. He puts on his hat and rushes down the street to Smith who has a great Stock of liquor. Says Jones: "Smith, 1 have dccldod to educate my children. 1 need your help. Now I make you this proposition : If you will give a certain amount of profits towards the education of my children, I w ill purchase and drink $0(1,000 worth of your liquor." The bargain is closed. .Jones gets his liquor, Smith gets the money, ami by and by he scuds his check to Jones amounting to 88 cents apiece for each of his children towards their education." You say: ".1 oil08 is a fool. What, drink $00,000 worth of liquor that his children may get SS cents a year to wards their education! Of course he is a fool." Well, what Jones did the people of South Carolina did in 1809 on a larger scaic, arc doing in 1900, ami what they arc asked to continue doing ?to wit, I spend $1,503,240 for liquoi that the dis pensary may take out ol the profits P cent per annum per child towards edu eating 275,000 or 280,000 children, and yet they hurrah for the dispensary. The Ephcsians could howl in old Haul's cars " great is Diana of the EpllO sums" for the gain Demetrius got out of it, but the politicians of South Carolina can go them one better : to the political [lower and emoluments they get out of the dispensary?it helps educate the poor man's children. That the people may study the ques tion from a dispassionate standpoint let them take the figures, in his annual report for 1809 the Comptroller General puts ilortTU the receipts from the dispen sary at $1,503,210. In the disbursements he puts down $130,000 as distributed in the forty counties from the dispensary special school fund. Upon the school enrollment of 275,789 pupils in the State, that would be less than is cents per pu pil per annum. Suppose we make it 48 cents and allow 48 cents to pay the tuition of one pupil for one-half month. Then if you could raise it to 00 cents to give him -i whole month, it would be ac cessary to double the consumption of li quor; that is to say, if it takes the sale of $1,503,240 worth of liquor to get a profit of $130,000 for the special school fund, or IS cents per pupil for half a month th a at the same ratio, to ra se to 00 cents per pupil, for a winde month, the people would he compelled to buy twice as much liquor, that is 2x$l,503 240 $3, 190,480. This sum would represent the amount of liquor consumed in order to give one month's education to each pupil on tho basis of 00 cents per month. For five month's education the people would have to consume 5x$8,100,840? $15,082,400 worth of liquor. If the flionds of the dispensary think they can stand it and will make the experiment, the final result will furnish food for reflection for years to come. J. L. Tninni.K.

Troy wilt doubtless bo good specimens of thoir kind, but you may set it down that nothing oriental Is excellent. 1 use the word etyinologlcally. Nothing oriental can excel the objects of its class iu America or Furopo. They not only do not excel, but nothing oriental is iquul to the object of its eln-s in America or Furope. I've not boon In tho Orient, but 1'vo spent months at tour International Expositions where tho best productions of all countries were shown. Tho Arab horso is a tough, hardy, intelligent little unimal, but ho is no tougher or moro intelli gent than tho thoroughbred horso of Furopo or America, and ho is out classed iu size, snood and endurance by tho latter. There has been no less romance ubout the Orlontul or Circassian wo mun thun there has been ubout the Arabian horse, but photography is a stern dlsllluslonist. Harems have been photographed. The beauties of the harem, as they a''o called, have been exposed to tho ruthless camera and tho world is now familiar with the dark, ooarso, heavy typo of molded rather than chiseled features, lucking in vivacity and spiritually. No artist would select a Turkish woman (or a model, and no American with an edu catud taste would want one of them for a companion* There is no lack of Turkish belies here iu tho Exposition. Tho side shows abound with them and bevies of them c\?u he seen In the dance do ven ire for one (rune. Some of them are real types ami are doubtless the best specimens of their class from the ttieu trcs of Constantinople, Souturi and Cairo, but mixed among them are girls from Chicago, New York, or they may bo from I'aris, Kentucky or Cairo, Illinois. It is not easy or important to learn their whence or whither; hut they are Americana suns doute and the way they outclass tho sluggish nouns of tho Orient when it comes their turn to dance is convincing, hut not moral. One of tho most striking buildings in that eel lection of striking architec tural types, tho street of nations, is the pavilion of Bosnia, Herzegovina?are production of an ancient donjon, witli annexes elaborately decorated. With in is shown, among other things, a room sumptuously furnished and oc cupied by wax figures, representing the interior of u harem of Bosnia. In other apartments more modern ex hibits, in the form of vases, textiles, etc, are shown. There is an interest ing collection of photographs on glass representing tho most beautiful views of the Utiikan Switzerland. The building of Servia is in the purest Byzantine style. It has eight domes, the central and tallest being upwards of eighty feet in height.

The closest inquiry at the war depart* meet fails to disclose any satisfactory explanation of the total eclipse of the distinguished looking commanding gen eral. Before ho came to Washington his predecessors, especially Major (Jen. Scholleld, were frequently summoned to tho White House to confer with the president aud cabinet on ail matters pertaining to the movement or disposi tion Of United States troops, either at home or abroad, b'or a while (Jen. Miles enjoyed similar privileges and seemed to share tho confidence ol Mr. Cleveland and tho then secretary of war, Col. Daniel S. Uumont. l'rior to his elevation to tiio rank of command ing general of the army Cen. Miles had tho reputation of being one of the grandest types of American soldiery known to this generation. His record in the civil war, together with his achievements as an Indian lighter, made him the envy of many of his military associates. When attired in his military uniform he present:; a com manding and admirable appearanoe, Ciftcd with a magnificent physique, clean-cut features and u graceful and Jignitii d hearing,it would be diilicult to conceive a more striking military com mander than Gen. Miles. In addition to his long, active and ctliolent service in the Hold, especially against savage tribes in the West, the experience and information he derived from visits to Europe to witness the military man oeuvres of international troops would seem to tit him os pool ally to give prac tical advice and COUnsul to the admin istration in carrying out its policy in connection with the Chinese complica tion-. When Secretary Knot took charge of the war department it was announced semi-Glliclally that in the future Cen. Miles would receivesuohconsideration us his high rank entitled him to, and that he would be the military adviser of the secretary of war. At the same time it was settled that don. Miles, who bus a large and valuable acquain tance in New York c'ty, should be 'l>u right-hand man of Secretary Hoot in all matters pertaining to the military brunch of the service. It was said In this connection that personal jealous ies, tinctund with political, wore 111 a large measure responsible lor tno shab by treatment Gen. Miles is '.lleged to have received at the he ids of tho Cleveland administration, under Sec aetary Lament, and that .he same con dition of affairs eoatini ed during the period when Cen. Alg .r presided over the destinies ef the war department. It was also chargcu that Adjt. Gen. Corbin was largely resnonsible for the ignoring of Cen. Miles hecau.-o the former entertained aspirations not cal culated to please the commanding gen eral. These subjects have been gossiped about and threshed over In military and social circles until they haze be come too stale and unprofitable for fur ther speculation. The fact remains, however, that God. Miles has been practically ignored In all of tho impor tant deliberations bearing upou the American campaign in China. There must be some valid and substantial reason for the treatment he has been BUbjeoted to. It is not reasonable to suppose thut, in view of all the com plex questions involved in tho Chinese situation, the administration would rc fuso any valuable suggestion from Gen. Miles or any other reliable ource. Those who might throw some val uable light On the subject when inter rogated becomo suddenly silent or evasive, ami intimate that no good can come of the discussion of such a dolicate subject. It is whispered that, although tien. Miles possosscs an un blemished record 11- 11 soldier when in the iiold, he. is deficient in some ef the requirements of a successful and < llici ent commanding general. It is alleged that he has a grievance, either real or imaginary, against his associates who are graduates of the West Point Mili tary Academy. It will be remembered that be has risen practically from the ranks of the volunteer branch of the service to the most exalted position In the army of his country. The griev ance appears to have impaired, not only his judgment in military affairs, but it has not improved his personality. He permits it to pormcatO not only his personal, but hiscilhsial utterances and the re-nit is that he frequently finds himself antagonizing the wishes and the ? '.iev of his "illclal superiors with out .

Attired in a white duck suit, wearing a straw hat with an ox troinoly broad brim, surrounded by a gaudy hat band, patent leather gaiters with white duck "s-.ts," twirliag a slonuor cane, he suggests an elderly but woll conserved dandy on grand promonado rather than the command ing general of tho United States army. ?Unofllciul figures of tho census of Now York city give tho old city Man hatten and tho Hronx, a popoulation of 2,100.000, an Increase of nearly 000. 000 is ton years.

Among the guests wno had not yot spoken was Willis Moore, chief of the weather bureau in Washington, Moore is a demure looking man, with no pro tensions as a speech maker. Allen, looking about the tuble, had spotted him and seized tho occasion to pour hot shot into his weather predictions, among other things accusing Mooro'a bureau of making tho weather as well as prophesying about it. After he hail finished, tho tonstmaster, to tho sur prise of everybody, called upon Moore. It was not a pleasant situation for a man only slightly accustomed to public sneaking to be summoned Immediately after a veteran like Alleu, hut Moore faced tho matter bravely, and spoke somewhat in this wise: '1 wus much interested In Mr. Al len's speech, particular.y the part In which he referred to tho work of the weather bureau, because ho was kind enough to admit that it Is we who did that work. Not all of you may under stand my BUrprlsO at t.uch an ad mis sion, because you have not seen Mr. Allen at homo, or learned his reputa tion among his neighbors who know him host. I remember a few years ago being in Mississippi while Mr. Allen wus socking a re-election. Ito had for an opponent an Irish gentleman with a delicious brogue, but, I hardly need add, no mate i for the marvelous logic and versatility of our friend. Tho peo ple wore all wondering what sort of a figure this candidate would cut in a joint debate on tho hustings with Mr. Allen. H it ho was not to bo drawn in to any joint debute. He knew better. He let Mi-. Allen appear before an audi ence on u certain day and make an ap peal for vikcs, based, as all oratory Is, upon the modest disclaimer of any per sonal merit." At this point Mr. Moore paused for a moment, and a ripple of merriment passed around the tablo In recognition of the reference to Allen's conspicuous use of the lirst personal pronoun in all his spet ohes. He then went on: "The in xt day the Irish candidate would tb? a tump and say: "Me frinds, how many of yi z beard the BtOD. John Allen make his speech yes terday/' A multitude of hands went up. "Now. mo frinds, the Cood Hook tells us that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and all that in them Is. Hosv many of ycz belaves that Statement V" Hp went a multitude of hands again. "Hiven ho praised!" ejaculated the candidate, fervently. ' Oi'm glad to lind so many of yez stell belavln' thai the Lord did tome of these worrucks, when John Allen has claim ed that he oid them all!" "As Mr. Moore sat down all oyes turned toward Allen. Ho seemed to be chewiug on a thought, hut ho never uttC'-cd it. lie simply shook his head und held his peace. ' -Hosten Tran script. MUST ItALIO OK COTTON. i It Came This Year. as It tibi I,ml Year, Prom Pafriolo County, in Bouttiwctiterii T< xas, Birmingham, Aln, Age-Herald, The first bale of aseason's great crop is alway eagerly anticipated. Moved at t he hoad of ti n million otiier bales, it occupies an enviable position. It is ut the head nf a procession that keeps exchange in our favor and gold from going out. It ib tho lirst of the coun try's chief cash crop. There may be other commercial and agriculturul kings, but there is none that so readily commands cash in all cnuntrijs as King CottOD, and the lirst halo Is the begin ning of the worlu's contribution to the king. The lirst halo cunio this year from San I'atricio County, in southwestern Texas, not fur from San Antonio. This county furnished tho lirst hulo lust year, but tho bale of this year is two days earlier in the season than the bale of lust your was. Four planters com bined their pickings in order to mnke this hale, which weighs 604 pounds. Tho bringing in of a halo on July 11 shows that the sun In Texas Is able to confound all the prophets, for they hud repeatedly said that the lirst halo would not he received this yuur before July 2f>, rhe sun in Texas is no respec ter of prophets und there uro prophets out of Texas who will share the fate of tho.-e?_n that State. The truth Is no ouc iJlows what the opening and grow ing crop will ho in tho aggregate.
