> of Italy, where the plun- !
4 >ckets has been reduced to :
a fine art. I am a careful man and
did not need to read the constant j
warnings against pickpockets, and
yetfm the great plaza of Venice I
was robbed of my letter of credit
for $10,000. There was an enormous
crowd that had turned out to
hear the band play, the day being
Sunday, and I was jostled two or :
three times by a huge fellow with a
big black mustache. Finally, seeing
that he was doing it purposely, I j
lo6t my temper and addressed a hot
Tpmftrk to him. at which he ex- !
claimed, 'Pardon, monsieur/ drop- !
ped his umbrella at my feet and in j
tooping to get it managed in some !
my to get my letter of credit, although
it was in an inside pocket.
It caused me a lot of trouble, the
ending of many cablegrams and
aome money, but I managed to have
the payment stopped, and the thief
profited nothing.
In Borne on last Christmas day
I went out for a ride in the suburbs
to see some rare paintings in an old
church. Wishing to see the country,
I took a street car that was
densely packed. The air was pretty
crisp, and I wore an overcoat
closely buttoned. How on earth the
rascal managed to get to my watch
and make away with it will puzzle
me to my life's end, but he did the
trick, as I found on getting off the
car.
"Had it been only an ordinary
timepiece I would never have said
a word of the loss, but it was an un?

me."?Baltimore American.
A Versatile Old Lady.
The attention of the class in history
seemed to be anywhere but on
the subject in hand, and the young
L teacher was getting impatient.
"Children," she said, "you must
EBay better attention to what you are
HHoing. You cannot possibly do two
^^lings at the same time. No one
^ can do two tilings at once."
At this point a small boy raised
his hand and waved it frantically in
the air.
"Well, Willie, what is it ?" she inquired.
"Please, teacher," said Willie,
"my granny kin do two things ter
onc't. I seen her."
"No, Willie. I think you must be

"Please, ma'am, she kin read an'

Home Journal.
Satisfied With Her Work.
X It was noticed that the woman
devoted many more hours to mirror
gazing than formerly. "I can't
tell," she said, with dreamy satisfaction,
"how many times I have
caught people, especially women,
snapshotting me recently.
"1 shouldn't be so puffed up about
it if I were you," 6aid the brute of
a man. "It wasn't your good looks
(that attracted them. They were
taking pictures of your dresses, so
they could copy the best points in
their own clothes."
"In that case," said the woman
after a moment's visible disappointment,
"I feel more highly complimented
than if they had photographed
me. Nature is responsible
for me, but I designed my clothes
myself."
The Last 8traw.
She was one of those women who
always present a woefully untidy
appearance during the early part of
thA day. In vain had her husband
^ rtiynstrated with her on the unfastened
blouse and unkempt hair.
Tt was not until aid came from an
unexpected quarter that victory was
his. They had removed to a new
house on the previous day, and
h when she answered the eummons of
V' the front door bell a humble looking
woman awaited her.
"Oh, I see it's too late!" sighed
woman. "I called to see if the
HKiissis wanted a charwoman, but I

"I'm fond of the table d'hotes,"
said the table d'hote fiend,"but they
are ruining the manners of the people.
The other night I saw the prettiest
girl at a table across from me,
l so pretty I could hardlv keep my |
& eyes off her. She was dressed in
I * white, with a big white hat covered !
-with a v. hite veil, and had lovely j

ELECTION CAMPAIGNS.
Modern Methods Started With the Advent
of Jackson.
Jackson left his mark on all that
he touched. With his advent a new
regime was inaugurated. Its coming
was accompanied bv new methods.
The presidents who preceded
him were educated, polished statesmen.
They were of the aristocracy.
When their aspirations for the
presidency were voiced in stately
fashion by friends a measure of
dignified decorum was observed in
the spoken or printed expression of
hopes ana claims.
Campaigning in the modern
sense was unknown. Conventions
had no existence. Platforms declaring
the principles and policies
to which the candidate pledged
himself had not yet been formulated.
Political cartoons, caricatures,
great mass meetings, flamboyant
flaunting of flags, taunting
transparencies, parades, campaign
songs, brass bands and buttons?
these played no part in the election
of Washington, Adams, Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe.
They were lacking in even the
campaign of 1824, when Jackson
was first a candidate, though the
house of representatives defeated
the popular will, which had named
him as its choice, by selecting John
Quincy Adams to fill the presidential
office.
But in the campaign of 1828 the
* * % * 5 iti
general, woo naa aone mings uuierentlj
at the battle of New Orleans,
aeemg to have stimulated in
men who advocated or opposed him
a desire to follow new methods.
Jackson's first successful campaign
in 1828 was opened by a celebration
of his famous battle in the
city of New Orleans. Hero of the
battle and presidential candidate,
he attended as the guest of the
state. On his way from his home
he was entertained at Natchez. A
procession, a banquet and a ball
kept him busy. A fieet of 6teamers
was sent from New Orleans to meet
him. A throng greeted him when
he landed. Four days of festivity,
news of which stirred the people
throughout the land, followed.
This was the beginning. With
his campaign for re-election mod
era methods were fairly established.?St.
Louis Republic.
Holed Out and
Pulled the Hole
In After Them.
Up to about 1869 the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky was widely advertised by
its owner. But the owner died that
year and left the cave to thirteen heirs
scattered over the country. The lucky
thirteen devoted themselves to dreams
of imendlnsr the ble income which the
cave had been earning for many years
because It bad been advertised. But
they forgot to keep up the advertising.
Now the cave ia visited by comparatively
few persons instead of by many
thousands annually, as in the days
when it was advertised.
But the great cave conveys a lesson
to every business man. If you quit
advertising, your place will be ignored
by the public even more than Mammoth
Cave is ignored, because yon are
not even a natural curiosity.
See the point?

An old millionaire refused point
blank to lend ?60 to a bosom
friond. "Well, I did not expect
that of you," said the would be
l?orrower, riling and preparing to
jkave indignantly. "1 will never
forgive you for this refusal." "Of
course you won't, my dear fellow/'
replied the old screw, with the utmost
calmness, "but if I'd lent you
the ?50 you wouldn't have paid me,
and we should have quarreled
about that, so it's as well to get the
row over at once. Good morning."

His Definition of Whisky.
The eminent British surgeon,
Sir Victor Horslev, not only enjoys
the reputation of being one of the
leading pathologists, but he is also
known for his.wit. Entering his
club, the Athenaeum, one day, a
friend said to him: <4!Iello, Horsier!
Can you tell me what whisky
is yet?" "The most popular poison
in the world, my dear sir," was the
prompt retort.
