WHEELER OUT OF POLITICS
Tulle of His Candidacy For Congress
Unauthorized.
rJA>i;r.Ncrc, .v a., xco. no.?a personal
frioii l of General Wheoler has just received
a letter from the general, who is
in New York, in reply to a letter of inquiry
as to the reported candidacy of
General Wheeler for congress, to suecoed
Judge llichardson, the present incumbent.
The statements sent out from
Washington were unwarranted and
without authority, and iho story had
110 foundation or tact. G- ueral Wheeler
has bo11 in New York for sonic weeks
with his daughters and the clipping sent
him by his friend was the iirst iutoruiatloti
he r. 1 I of tl 3 story.
General Wheoler stated to a close
personal Ir'end some weeks ago that ho
was n retired army officer and dirt not
intend to got in; ? .1 scramble for a political
otlioo .lie said ho appreciated,
what the people of the Ikghtli district
had done for him, and he was grateful
to them for the honors bestowed upon
him in the pas*. Ho is our of politios,
but is still interested in the district ami
has been very active in using his influence
with old irieiids iti both houses in
behalf of the T nnossoo river appropriation
and other bili.s that affect the district

Speaking of the queer doings of abBcntminded
people, the following anecdote
Is related by the London Globe:
"A very irritable man left his house
one morning to attend a race meeting
some distance off. in order that he
might have enough money to pay Ills
hotel bill lie tied a sovereign in the
corner of his handkerchief. In the
train lie drew his handkerchief from
his pocket, and noticed the knot In the
corner. 'Now.' lie said to himself, 'what
was it 1 wished to remember?' Much
thought failed t > enlighten him upon
the point, and at last, in a tit of passion
he hurled t he handkerchief out of the
window. Then lie remembered."

"I want bolb uiy upper aqd lower v **

Charles J. Jones of East Walnut Hills " v
made to a well kuown carpet
"And I'm going to move out of the^?^^

leave tlie choice and color to you!
My wife is out of town, you see, nud I
want to surprise her upon her return.
There is only one condition to this bargain?I
must ask you. as we are old
friends, to give me a small figure in tiro
carpet."
"All right!" said the carpet man.
And Charles Joues staid away from
home for two days, while the carpet
man's hirelings banged away with their
hammers, and he hugged himself as he
thought of the surprise that was In j
store for his wife when she returned. I
Last Thursday the carpet man called
Jones up by telephone and announced
that the carpet was laid.
"It's a dark green!" said the carpet
man.
"I'm glad of that!" answered Jcnes.
"And as small a figure as is consist*
out with the carpet!" roared the carpet
man.
"I'm gladder than ever!" said Jones.

peach. The next morning he uiet the
carpet man.
"How much do I owe you?" Inquired
Jones.
"It Is $98.05." said the carpet dealer.
"What!" yelled Joues. "Where's
the small figure you aud I agreed on?"
"Why. on the border of the carpet!" ^
sold the amazed denier. "It's a morning
glory vine with pink and white flowers!
You've got a bargain at that figure!"?

Perpetual OndabonU.
Slowly, hut surely, the pride the
English hostesses took In their home.
In their reputation for hospitality nnd
in their ability to plan pleasant little
entertainments for their friends is passing
away. The smart young hostess tio
longer cares to welcome her guests
among her Lares and Penates; It Is no
longer her earnest desire to display her
housewifely genius; no longer her ambition
to shine as n "clever little woman
who so thoroughly understands just
what every one likes."
There are too inauv Irons lu society's

fritter away time lu this fashion. Moreover.
people want Incessant novelty;
they are bored with even good menus,
they tire of certain surroundings, they

"If I was n haldhcadcd man I would
get mo a;i cilice on one of the upper
floors of the tallest skyscraper In
town." remarked an attorney. "Why?
Because I'd never have to brush a fly
from my hairless pate. Files stay near
the ground, seldom getting more than
30 or 40 feet above It. The only fllea
you get In a skyscraper are the onea
that stray up through the Interior of
the building and they are mighty few.
You will find them on the lower floors,
hut Just keep your eyes open when you
are In high buildings, you'll see mighty
few of the little pests above the th'itfl
or fourth floors."?Cleveland Plain
