For Kansas Fair weather, light variable winds; slightly cooler in western portion tonight. "When the dentists meet in state con vention it shows they are pulling to gether. General Weaver's ultimatum was undoubtedly received with great sorrow In Iowa. If Kelly's army continues to grow fac tious it may exterminate itself before It gets even to Dea Moines. Citizen Fitzgerald's good old Puri tan name ought to cause the blue blooded Yankees to flock around him in multi tudes. If the 9 p. m. to 5 a. m. ordinance is strictly enforced, it will seriously incon venience the parties to a gfeat many en gagements. The Populists are afraid the Republi cans will steal their thunder. They need have no fears about being struck with political lightning. The swarm of candidates that want to run on the Indiana Republican ticket would indicate that that statey is hardly considered doubtful this vear. General. Weaver's unselfish interest in the cause of the Populists in Kansas is founded on an accurate knowledge of which way the wind is blowing. The new ordinance about being on the streets after 9 o'clock, will have the effect of making many young women come nearer telling the truth as to their ages. Instead of the administration guard ing the treasury against Coxey, it would be better for Coxey to guard it against the administration and the country would feel about as safe. Congress wishes with all its heart that Coxey had his good roads, in fact would have him in the place where the roads are the very best, being simply paved with good intentions. The students at Rochester university have petitioned the principals to allow them to smoke during the long two hours recitations. It would be just like the hard, exacting officials though not to grant the petition. That must hare. been a great ehock to Boston's sense of propriety when the crowd on the Common said "yes" so it could have been heard a mile. It is strange that the vulgarity of such loud talk would be tolerated. Breckinridge Is the oaly Democratic congressman so far heard from who is anxious to stand for re-election. Almost all the rest of them are declining with noble generosity and headlong precipi tancy to become candidates. The only reason for believing that Judge Jenkins will never be impeached, even if the charges warrant it, is that congress is conducting the investigation. By the time it d-es anything the judge will have died of old age. It is said that Cleveland is becoming considerably alarmed about Coxey' s army. This ia only what might have been expected. It will be remembered that he was pretty badly scared once be fore when armies were organizing. The poor people who have been hard pressed by the business depression will no doubt be greatly cheered by Ward McAllister's suggestions on economy. He says, "Don't go to Europe this sum mer, but stay at home and occupy your country places." The distribution of rifles about the treasury building as a precaution against possible attacks on it, is likely to cause a large laugh. The idea of protecting au empty treasury is essentially Democratic The opportunity to save the treasury passed with the election of 1892. The Massachusetts industrial army has the true Yankee instinct. A collec tion is taken up at every town and the number of the army is limited to fifty so that there will be more money for each mac If it were not that they are to march through Connecticut it would look like a money-making scheme. A LOOK AHEAD. There are better times in store for To peka, and those who are becoming dis gruntled because the citizens are already too' heavily taxed to make important needed improvements, need only be pa tient and hopef uL. One of. the heaviest sources of ex pense to the taxpayers of Topeka has been the installment payments on the pavements and sewers, which were com menced seven and eight year3 ago. Most of these expensive contracts are being met in equal annual installments, covering ten years. When the ten years have elapsed, they will have been paid for in full. On a majority of these im provements, seven of the ten payments have been made. After the last payment has been made taxes will be lighter; the people will have more money at their disposal and everybody concerned will be happier. The worst ia over, and the city is re covering from a severe attack of strin gency. Its convalescence is slow but cer tain into the full vigor of prosperity. The Chicago Tribune is doing some able-bodied falsifying apparently with out any other purpose than to frighten the people of Chicago. In spite ot the public statements of C. P. Huntington, the railroad magnate. General Manager E. Be John of the Rock Island railroad, Mayor Bemis of Omaha, and scores of equally prominent men, that Kelly's in dustrial army is not composed of tramps, but that its members are honest working men, the Tribune continues to shriek that they are "knaves, tramps, scoundrels and criminals," and ought to be shot. So bitter i3 the Tribune's venom that it sup pressed entire the Associated Press dis patch from Dea Moines in which Gene ral Manager E. St, John of the Rock Island said there was nothing to be feared from the Kelly industrials, and that they were honest and law abiding. The Trib une is a firebrand, and if there is trouble it will be largely responsible for it. It seems strange that the Coxeyitea think they can accomplish anything by legislation. The infallible, indisputable sign that they are cranks i3 that they should suppose in the first place that their living petition will have any effect on congress, and in the second, that con gress could be impelled to move in the matters they advocate even if convinced of their reasonableness. TTON'T ACCEPT TICKETS. Southern Pacific Doclincs to Be a xarty to the Emigrant Traffic Rate. San Francisco, April 25. The South ern Pacific company has notified the in terstate commerce commissiou that it is in no sense a party to the emigrant traf fic rate made by the western passonger association. In the telegram sent to the commis sion the local company explained that the proportion of the fare from Ogden is a part of a through rate only, and cannot be quoted as a rate from Ogden to Cali fornia points. It will decline to accept any tickets sold at less than the full through rates from Atlantic to Pacific coast points. The fact is mentioned also that the Southern Pacific took no part in the rate cutting of the Union Pacific, and is neith er fighting for nor against that company. CHEAP RATES TO EUROPE. War is on and Ton Can Co In the Steer age for $10. New York, April 25. Agents of steamship lines represented in the Con tinental combine are preparing to begin a bitter fight against the Cunard Steam ship company, which is alleged to have made negotiations towards maintaining steerage rates. It is now said that the rate to all points in England will be cut to $10, possibly within the next forty-eight hours, and that every effort will be made to force the Cunard people into the pool. FASTEST ON THE SANTA 3tfE Jeaae Sellgman Sons special Made Fastest Time in History of Road. Albuquerque, N. M, April 25. The fastest run. ever made on the Santa Fe route was made by the special train char tered by the sons of Je9se Sellgutau of New York, who are on their way to Cali fornia where their father died. The train left Chicago, Monday at 13 a. m. and reached Albuquerque at 9:4il p. m. Tuesday, making an average for the whole distance of forty-five miles an hour. This includes the climb up and over the mountains. In western Kansas and eastern Colorado the train made spurts of fifty-eight miles an hour. Persnsded lo Join the strike. St. Louis, April 25. About 200 miners from along the Mobile Ohio marched to the Valley and Gulf mines at Sparta today and peaceably dissuaded the miners who were there at work and who were evidently disinclined to quit work.to join the strike. The-miners at Percy Roseborough and Sparta are now out in obedience to the general order of the strikers. American Itorsra in Aatrla. Washington. April 25. United States Consul Max Judd, in a report from Vi enna says, that the importation of Amer ican trotting horses into Austria-Hungary for breeding purposes, has recently as sumed considerable proportions. The American trotting horses are almost the only trotting horses now imported.

It i3 doubtful if any other family, of whatever nationality, rank or lineage, ever exercised the same controlling pow er in human affairs as those descend ants of the old Jewish banker of Frank-fort-on-the-Main to whom the whole civilized world has for several genera tions been accustomed to refer as" the Rothschilds. For nigh on to a century now they have been recognized as abso lute monarchs in the world of finance, and kings and princes ruling by the grace of God" have grown accustomed to waiting in the antechambers of these sovereigns by the power of the purse for the nod or negation that should set tle the fate of dynasties and nations. Some bright side lights could doubt less be thrown on the pages of the last century's history if access wer to be had to the secret archives which have accu mulated in the cabinets of the family since old Mayer Anselm's time, and the pages of some of their private account books might furnish more interesting reading to a keen eyed historian .than the rarest manuscript treasures inthe alcoves of any of the great libraries of the world. It is unlikely that any his- LOSD ROTHSCHILD. torian will ever be thus assisted, for he might find other things than those he was in search of, and thereby create new enigmas while solving old ones, to the possible confusion of other intereststhan those of mere readers of books. There is good authority for the state ment that the combined assets of the Rothschilds of today reach $2,000,000, 000, and that they control indirectly at least half as much more. They are the largest creditors of the nations of the earth, and their capital is at the back of many of the greatest corporate interests in the world, the syndicate which con trols the Russian petroleum fields, for instance, and those which, under -the guidance of Cecil Rhodes, control the South African diamond mines and the famous nitrate beds wrested by Chili from Peru. The story of the origin of this vaf( wealth is a schoolbook "chestnut" Everybody knows how the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel, desiring to save the im mense hoards of silver which had accu mulated in his palace vaults as the re sult of selling his soldiers to fight for England and France when Napoleon's army invaded his territory to despoil him, sent for Mayer Anselm Rothschild, then a money lender in a small way at Frankfort, and offered him the use of the treasure without interest if he would convey it to a place of safety. The amount thus intrusted to Rothschild was about $5, 000, 000, and of this im mense sum he and his eons had the free use for eight years, after which they paid an annual interest of 2 per cent upon it until 1823, when the principal was repaid to the landgrave's son and successor. Rothschild had five sons, and before his death, which occurred in 1812, he saw them established on financial thrones in the principal money centers of Europe Anselm in the paternal Frankfort, Nathan in London, Solomon in Vienna, James in Paris and Charles in Naples where their sons, nephews or other natural successors reign today in their stead, except in the case of the Neapolitan house, which was discontin ued on the death of its founder in 1855, his son preferring a life of gilded ease to the useless labor of increasing his in heritance. Many of his cousins have imitated him in this, and all of them have learned the superlative value in the financial world of princely estab lishments and regal retinues. But every generation produces for each of the houses a Napoleon of finance who makes money for all the rest, and thus the grip of the family on the purse strings ol the world is never loosened. Lord Rothschild, the present head of the London house, is naturally enough the primate of the family, for London is the Rome of the "financial world, and he is the pope who reigns in it3 Vati can. He succeeded his father in 187S and was then known as Sir Nathaniel Rothschild, having succeeded to the bar onetcy of his father's younger brother, Sir Anthony, who was the first of the English Rothschilds to be knighted and the first Jew ever created a baronet. The title of baron so freely used by the Other Rothschilds is an Austrian one, derived from patents given early in the century to the five eons of Mayer An selm. Lord Rothschild also inherited one of these Austrian baronies, but since his elevation to the British peerage In 1886 it is of course secondary to hi3 English title. The English Rothschilds are all great landowners, as are all of the race, for that matter, and most of them art passionate art lovers and collectors Lord Rothschild has a magnificent es tate at Tring, in Hertfordshire, and upon his walls hang the best picture by Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds and Turner to be found outside the na tional galleries.

A revolution in car lighting has been going steadily on since the Pintsch gas lighting system came into use. The gas light gives general satisfaction and the tanks can be recharged at any gas plant. One hundred and seventy-two feet of the Pintsch gas is said to be equal to 1,0U0 feet of the ordinary city gas. A special train of one baggage, one dining, one composite and three sleeping cars is expected through Topeka over the Santa Fe some time tomorrow. The train belongs to a party of excursionists from New England who are on their way to San Francisco and from there will probably take passage for a long trip in Alaska. SHOPS AND OFFICES.

Chicago Tribune. The Missionary Children. Bobbie lived in the country where they had little schooling. One day their teacher told them of a country called Japan, away across the sea. She said that missionaries were sent to help the poor, and sometimes children Bent toys t6 the poor little boys and girls. After the children reached home they went to the nursery and found some toys they -had thrown away and ran outdoors down to the stream. Then Frank put his little rocking horse and ball in the water, and Mary put her doll and doll trunk in it, and Lucy put her doll in, and little Bobbie put his little wheel barrow in the water with a piece of pa per in it. This was a letter to the little Japs. When the children had finished, they Bat down and watched the toys float off. They soon forgot about the toys, and never thought again about the people across the ocean. One day an old fisherman farther down the stream was out in his boat, when he saw in the distance a little red Bpeck that was stuck in the mud on tho bank of tho river. He rowed to the spot and picked the little red wheelbarrow up that Bobbie had sent to the Japs, and in it was the paper. So the man opened it, and he read as" follows: Dear Little Japan People We send yoa these toys today floating across the ocean from a country that is miles away. From Bobbie, Lucy, Mary and Frank Brown. But they never got to Japan at alL New York Recorder. Bobby's Basket of Eggrs.

In the red ones, dearie. From the wind that shrieks. All the pretty little pinks Hide their rosy cheeks. "Is it just a fairy tale? Is it truly so?" How can I tell, Bobby What do grown folks know? The Return of the Locusts This is the year when the 17-year lo cust, the red eyed cicada, is announced to return. But of the 500 eggs the fe male lays only two reach maturity. If you are interested in insects, you should watch for the coming of these strange little creatures. They appear some time in May in the southern states and in June farther north. Many scientists have given years to their study. You might try to get the reports of the state ento mologists, which will be sure to give you all the information you want, and then you might by observation make some discovery for yourselves. Boys, please do. In certain countries the coming of this locust is always regarded with su perstitious dread, people imagining that the tracings on their wings point to coming disasters, like wars or pesti lences.

Over Half of th Vote Cast by Wives, Moth ers and Sweethearts. The elections just past in Colorado have shown conclusively that the wom en there want to vote. In a majority of the wards of Denver more than half the votes were cast by women. Though it was an unusually exciting election, good order was kept. The ladies were every where treated with courtesy, and all the voting places were adorned with flow ers. The 'filthy pool of politics' seemed to have given place to a garden. The Denver Republican says: The suburban elections proved the, truth of the sentiment, "The hand that rocks tho cradle is the hand that moves the world. "Women demonstrated the fact that they have become a power in politics; that they propose to assert the rights of elective franchise, and that they constitute a force that will sadly disarrange the schemes of politicians. The argument which "was freely used against the indorsement of equal suffrage that women themselves did not wish to vote appears to be fallacious. They not only want to vote, but they im proved their first opportunity to mingle with other citizens in an attempt to se cure good government. About the booths in the various precincts were seen ample evidences of the refining influences of women. Over 50 per cent of the vote was cast by women. It is impossible to ascertain the exact proportion, but the judges of election report in every precinct that from 40 to CO out of every 100 votes were deposited by wives, mothers and sweethearts. As a rule, they came to the polls quietly, and after depositing the ballot departed to their homes. Many, however, took a hand no one would be rude enough to say mouth in the task of convincing the undecided. Carriages were at command, and in ev ery precinct where it was found that a woman had not voted a conveyance, in which was seated one of the committee of women, was sent post haste after the tardy sister. There were candidates to be voted for, there were party tickets in the field; there was the usual well oiled machin ery manipulated these many years by the sterner sex, but the question of who would fill minor positions was entirely lost sight of in the all absorbing query, "Will the women vote? As the day pro gressed it was apparent that the largest vote ever polled in the suburbs was to be recorded, the whole problem was lifted out of the realm of doubt, and many defeated candidates retired for the night satisfied that hereafter woman's influence at the polls must be given some consideration. As an evidence that women have not yet learned the wiles of the ward bar nacle, it may be stated that they voted early and not one of 'them voted often. It may just as truthfully be said that there is no danger of their ever wait ing till the hour strikes to give the high est bidder a show. Another myth was exploded. There are some intricacies about the Austra lian system of voting, and it was feared that the seclusion of the booth would be too much for the nerves of the fair sex, and they would occupy more than the five minutes allowed to prepare the ballot, and then might not know just what to do with the piece of paper pop ularly supposed to represent the free man's wilL Vain illusion I In almost every case the woman voter stepped briskly into the three walled apartment, made a dash or two with the pen of tener one and was promptly back to hand the ballot to the judge. It was neatly folded and brought forth tho re mark, "That woman understands her business!" From the time the polls opened at 8 a. m. until they closed at 7 p. m. the women were far more active in the hard work than were the men. It was not s'o much an effort on their part to secure the election of any particular candidate as to make certain that every one of their sex entitled to do so exercised that rifjht. VUji flM! lilP (r lT Anotber tact was shown that here after the florist will anticipate election time, and that it will reap for him a harvest with which the marriage feast and the last obsequies bear no compari son. On the tables at every polling place there were handsome bouquets, and the greenhouses were robbed of their choicest gifts. Precinct 1 0 had tho voting booths in the building connected with Grimes' conservatory, and almost every flower was utilized. Not I air Play. Would women vote? I confidently an swer yes. Majorities of men must be in favor of woman's vote before it will be granted, since only by their will can this change come. When they have grown so large minded and generous hearted as to welcome woman to a place beside them upon the throne of govern ment, women will not be at all back- ward about coming forward. King Ma jority will find his suit not less success ful than have been those of lesser kings since time began. In some of the states women have voted, much to the terror of the illicit saloons, and women all over our country are gaining some dim idea that for one-half the race to be wholly governed by laws made and ad ministered by the other half is not fair play.

"Mercy on us!" cried Elaine's dearest friend as she bound into the room and de posited her bundles cn a chair, "you look very nice today, and, yes, there is a bunch of roses on the table. Somebody has evi dently been here. Who was he, and what are you laughing at?" "Oh, oh, it was too funny. I shall die, I know I shall," and she flew off into a fresh paroxysm cf laughter. "You might as well tell me about it," re marked her friend in an injured tone. "I've got to go to the dentist tomorrow, and the sleeves of my gown are not nearly large enough, so I need cheering up." "Well, you see ha, ha, ha! The old hired girl has left, and thanew one can't come until Monday, sol have been busy all day helping mamma.

"Well, you are a wonder! That all comes of your amateur theatricals. I'll never make fun of them again."

Often asked by people at this season of the year are these: "How can I get to feel stronger and better?" "How can I. build up my system and get more flesh?" Now, there is ONE ANSWER to these questions which can be depended upon, because it is based upon solid facts. The answer is this: Use Paskola, the great flesh-forming food, the only perfect substitute for cod-liver oil preparations and all other old- fashion ed remedies. Paskola makes thin people fat, it makes them strong; it gives new life to those who are weak and debilitated. Ask your druggist for Paskola, and give it a trial. A pamphlet giving full particulars respecting Paskola will be sent on ap plication to the Pre-Digested Food Co., 30 Reade St., N. Y. City. A RIG DEFICIT. Directors Report of Union Pacl&o Shows Decrease of $4,500,000 from I.ait Year. Boston, April 25. The fourteenth an nual meeting of the stockholders of the Union Pacific railway company was call ed to order in Horticultural hall today with Vice President Edward F. Atkins presiding. The first business was a submission of the directors report for the past year. These reports show a deficit on the whole system of $2,595,841, compared with a surplus in the previous year of $2,069,757. The heavy decrease was due to the silver crisis, the failure of the Kansas wheat crop and the general pros tration of business. Earnings of the coal properties kept up well, but cash receipts from land sales decreased 30 per cent. The report shows that the control of the stock is rapidlv going abroad while on December 31, 1892 only 201,88 shares were sold. Without the amount received from the Union Pacific on guarantee acount the deficit would have been $957,450 in 1893 compared with $376,075 in 1892. The report contains a fitting tribute to the memory of the late Frederick L. Ames, so long a director of the company. SNAKE AROUND HER ANKLE An Exalting; Scene on a New York Cable Car. New York, April 25. Quite recovered from her thrilling experience Mrs. Regi namund Schmidt is receiving the admi ration of shuddering women friends for her rare presence of mind and marked heroism when she tells of how her shapely ankle was squeezed by a coiling reptile in a crowded Third avenue cable car, and how she calmly lifted her skirts and shook off the serpent's clasp so that the gripman could kill it. The people in the car tell it differ ently. They say as car 40 stopped at Twenty-ninth street on the way up town there was a piercing shriek for help and a plump and pretty young woman sud denly threw one dainty shoe out before her, pulled up her skirt and then yelled. There was a live garter just above her shoe top. The young woman cried: "Take it off, some one." Before the oldest man in the car could reach the frightened Mrs. Schmidt, the garter had wriggled off to the floor of the car. The gripman had heard, some one yell that a boa constrictor was loose in tlie car. He rushed, in with one of his levers and crushed the life out of the serpent. It was a garter snake probably .just in from the country in a farmer's basket of garden truck. It wa3 a foot long, as thick as Mrs."Regina Schmidt's dimpled little finger, but it was big enough, to create a sensation. CLEVELAND FAVORS IT. He Think That the Nicaragua Canal Should B Built. Birmingham, Ala., April 25. In an address before the Alabama Combined Commercial organization, Senator Mor gan strongly urged concerted action in behalf of the Nicaragua canal bill of which he is the author. He said that in an interview with the president of more than three hours duration, Mr. Cleveland told him he was in favor of the canal and that it ought to be built, that it would be the crowning glory of the nineteenth century, but that never theless the president said he must be cautious about it. Senator Morgan said to the president: "When I go-south I want to be able to tell my friends that you desire the canal built." and the president remarked: "I very earnestly desire to see it built, and I do not know that I have any impedi ment to offer to it."

Testimony Shtwlar That There is ZH nc'ii Bad. Feeling Between the Sup erintendent and. Subordinates. The testimony given at the Reform school so far, in regard to the charges against Superintendent Hitchcock for cruelty and incompetency, has been quite as strong as those who brought about the investigation had expected. Yesterday waa devoted almost entirely to the examination of H P. Post and J. C. Rossman, employes of the institution. The board adjourned to meet again this morning at 10 o'clock. E. P. Post was questioned very closely by Lawyer Noah Allen, and his answers were invariably favorable to Hitchcock. Mr. Post is said to be Hitchcock's right hand man. He was asked if he had seen Hitchcock whip any boy. He replied that he had, and that Hitchcock told him that it was the first boy he had ever whip ped. He said: "I had to turn away and grin he did it so awkwardly. The' boy waa whipped with a piece of three-quarter inch hese pipe about two feet long. He had tried to run away." Superintendent Hitchcock sat in the room where the examination was going on He listened calmly and stroked his long red beard while hia wife sat directly op posite the witness and looked daggers at him if he said anything against her husband. J. C. Rossman who testified, is a plain, honest looking man. His answers were straightforward and he was careful in hia speech. He said that he was the of ficer in charge of a family of boys, that he had never received any instructions from the superintendent as to how he should take care of the boys, other than that he should see how the others did it. Noah Allen asked him if he consider ed the superintendent to be a quick tem pered man. He replied in the affirmative. He said that Hitchcock had on several occasions reprimanded him severely in the presence of the boys, and on one oc casion gave the first guard 100 demerits because he was standing on the grass. The next question was: "Did any of the boys speak to you about the way they were treated?" The defense objected. Noah Allen arose and said: "The boys are not sent here to be locked up in jails, but they are sent here to reform them. I apprehend that if you shut up the mouths of these boys, you have not conceived the first idea of the purposes of this institu tion. If you bring a boy in here to testi fy, he will be frighted before all thia crowd, and will not tell about his ill treatment." The defense urged thaWf thi3 testi mony were used, it should come direct from the boy himself. "We are consuming time," said Sena tor Householder, president of the board. After conferring with the other mem bers, he said that the objection was sus tained. The examination was again resumed. Mr. Rossman had seen the superintend ent whipping two different boys with a large strap. The boys had their coats off. When asked regarding the super intendent's treatment of the employes, Mr. Rossman said that he thought Hitch cock had not treated him very fairly. He cited an instance in which he got the worst of it. He wished to "get off" for half a day. Hitchcock told him that he could go when the butchering was done. (That was butchering day.) He worked all morning and at noon Mr. Potts should have relieved him, but he was dressed in his "store clothes" and so Rossman had to finish the work. Mr. John Madden of Emporia and Hon. H. B. Kelly of Lawrence, formerly a member of the board, are representing Superintendent Hitchcock, while Noah Allen is conducting the prosecution. 31 r. W. N. Post, who was examined this morning, is the farmer at the Reform school. His answers were very deliber ate. When asked concerning a certain boy, who it was claimed had not been fed properly, he said that the boy was brought to the school in the evening and immediately put to bed. He slept till 1 o'clock the next day. When he got up, he went to get dinner, but Hitchcock forbade him eating dinner. He had heard Hitchcock severely re primand Mr. Justis for not having hia boys exactly in line. lie had not heard him reprimand any other officer. He found fault with Mr. Justis very much. He thought that Mr. Justis was doing the best he could with his boys. "How long was Justis employed here?" asked Lawyer Madden. "He was here about 40 days," replied the witness. "Forty days and forty nights and then the deluge," said Mr. Madden. Mr. Madden's joke fetched laughter. Mr. Post said that the boys liked an officer better who was Jax in discipline than one who was strict. Th next wit ness called was Mrs. J. C. Rossman, the wife of the witness of yesterday. She teaches in the institution. Hitchcock had told her that if she couldn't make the boys behave, she waa to knock them down. She said that when the boys did not behave, the teacher would send the boy to report to hiirf amily officer. Mr. E. B. Post had refused to receive such re ports. Hitchcock also said that the boys need not report to the family officer, and that the achoola should be conducted as were the public schools. Hitchcock had once dismissed the witness, but the board had reinstated her. "I had a family of boys during a time in the afternoons," said Mrs. Rossman, "and if I let them go one place, the superintendent was sure to send them to another place." One day she sent them to the play ground and they were "fired back" to the play-room, and the next day when she sent them to the play-room the superintendent sent them to the play ground and never said anything to her. do ad.

He went into a restaurant and at once got into trouble with the waiter because of his inability to pro nounce the letter "p." He studied the coffee stained bill of fare and then said: "I want four f oached aigs." When .the waiter returned he de posited before the guest four slices of pork. The hare-lipped man looked at the meat, then at the waiter. "I didn't order that," he said. "Dat's what yo' ohdahed,. sah," re plied the darkey. "Yo' sayd yo' wanted fo' po'k steaks." "Xo, I didn't order four fork steaks. I ordered four f oached aigs." "Well, what yo' kickin about? Dere's yo' po'k steaks." The hungry man first made sure .that the'Senegambian was not guying'" him, and then said: "See here, my friend, I don't sup pose you ever lived on a farm." The waiter said he didn't and the colloquy proceeded by the following' circuitous route, in order to avoid the lingual rock on which the hungry man's gastronomic hopes had been wrecked at the outset: "Well, you know what a rooster is?" "Yes, sah; saw one on Souf Watah street once." "You know what a rooster's wife is?" "Dey youster call em hens." "You know what a rooster's .wife's children are?" "You know what a rooster's wife's children afore they're hatched are?" "Aigs." "Well!! I want four rooster's wife's children- afore they're hatched f oached." "irt Victory Tor 9trlU.ers.
