An aristocrat would never do for an express messenger, for he couldn't become a common carrier. Graft, like beauty, is only skin deep. The wine of youth is too apt to degenerate Into the vinegar of age; A. smooth man is one who doesn't get ruffled when you rub him the wrong way. A woman who is only happy when she is miserable is a. fine thing to have about the house when you are not there. A ring has no end, and if it is bought on the installment plan the paying for it has no end either. When a man has to carve a turkey before company it-is seldom that he is enough of a philosopher to be thankful that he ha 3 a turkey to carve. A woman's "no" means yes only when she says It to the right man. When a man Is in love and working at it he doesn't take kindly to the eight hour day idea. Nice People. The people that .we meet In booka Are clever., kind and sweet; The men are brave and stout of heart. The ladies fit to .eat. Unless they are tho other kind, The villains dark and deep. Who hatch up plots and work them out Wliile other people sleep. They have no cares about the rent Or anything like that; Theladicrt never have to beg Their husbands for a hat; They hire a cab or take the train And go most anywhero And never stop to think about A vulgar thing like fare. They live in some lino mansion or A cottage by the sea; Their vir.itors can stay a week. And everything Is free; They have a gardener and a maid, A coachman and a man, And all of their arrangements run On some slf working plan. No bill collector comes around To mar life's placid flow; No landlord says the rent Is due And they must pay or go; For panics, boycotts, lockouts, strikes, They do not care a rapIn fact, In every way their lives Are what you'd call a snap. Painfully Exact, "Where have I seen you before?" "On the earth,-1 guess. That is the1 only rl2e T ho Our Eastern Fleet. We are sending a fleet of torpedo boats tothoPhillppinesto ply In and out among'the islands, to fire off salutes when congressional committees call and to be . on hand if Uncle Sam , in the guise of opportunity knocks at'the door of China and is obliged to break In and tell the sleeping inhabitants that he has arrived. These torpedo boats, while not much biggerhan a cup and saucer, are veritable terrors. They can Mow up a big ship if it will stand still while they are doing it, and in the humdrum days of peace they are master hands at running into mud banks. It Is a. pity, tliough,tbat the officers are so'digniflcd that; we cannot make tho fullest use of them, for the boats could make a noble fight on the mosquitoes of the island province if thej would justtdodge up the rivers and, catching these ' monsters unawares throw dynamite shells into their midst A Diplomat, "I didn't see tho point of that Joke. -Neither did I." -But you laughed at it."

GOWN GOSSIP.

Embroidered vests are very much worn with boleros. Some of the new shoes have bows on the side Instead of the front. Plain shirt waists of heavy. materials f have a patch pocket on the. left side. All over lace in designs that can be separated are an Inexpensive way to get medallions In quantity. Fancy waistcoats are a great feature In spring garments, and they give an pening for much hand work. Most materials are being embroider ed, often in open hole work, the pat terns outlined with a narrow gold braid. Sailor shapes multiply. The latest "sailor is of the very short brim variety and is tilted .from the side or back. Flower crowned sailors, with narrow straw brims, are seen. New York Globe. WHY PRICES WENT UP. Some of the , Curtoaa Effects of the Recent Boom In the Cont of Ice. We went over to the "parlor" across the way and called for a "brick" of mixed and put down the price we had paid always before. The young lady chirped, "Five cents more, please." We asked why and wherefore. "Ice has gone np," she said. Ah, yes, so. Ice up from $3 to $3 a ton, ice cream from 35 to 40 cents a quart. Exactly. This led us to investigate. We found the following facts approximately, allowing something, of course, to a deep .inward activity of feeling: Our beef went up because of increased refrigeration cost. A bunch of radishes cost 2. cents more. Oranges Jumped and all kinds of fruits. But we did not see jusUwhy kindling wood went up 25 cents a barrel. Of course It was easy after 'we found it out. It cost more to supply the kindling splitter with ice water. Then bricks went up 40 cents a thousand. The owner of the brickyard ran the ice plant, and the rise in bricks-was a purely sympathetic movement, like the inflammation of the eye because 'the other has got a cinder in it. Then we. discovered that a corner lot we wanted' bad gone up $100. This stumped-us until' we learned the intimate connection between this corner lot and Ice. Thekt owner, it seems, had got shut up for three hours in a refrigerator, and contact with ice had Imbued ihlm.with the idea that everything was golngtup. But the most singular effect of the ice boom came out as follows: We asked for an increase of salary and got the frosty, face, the glacial glance and the icy- eye all in a moment. Then we realized that' ice was up, and it was costing more to congeal employing interiors, leaving Just so much less for the interiors of the submerged classes. Judge. Chemistry and Lot's Wife. A professor of chemistry in one of our prominent colleges asked his pupils to bring original questions on chemical changes as part of their next day's lesson. When the time arrived the professor asked the pupils how they succeeded. One young man, with a twinkle in bis eye, raised bis band. "'Well, what is the question?" asked the professor. "What" two chemical changes did the wife of -Lot undergo?" The professor, who prided himself on his knowledge of chemistry, was puzzled. At last he confessed that he did not know. "First she turned to rubber and then she turned into a pillar of salt," said the funny student Judge's Magazine of Fun. Even at Last. "In the dark,, still hours some one shouted 'Burglar!' " "You don't say?" "Yes, and then we all rushed out of our apartments and down the steps. In the shadows of a corner we saw a crouching figure." "Gracious!" "And.we.pummeled him until he was black and blue. Then the lights were turned on and everybody gave a cheer that could be .heard aybloek." "How. exciting! And 'it was really the burglar?" "No, it was -.the Janitor. We had made a mlstakebut everybody got the chance to settle up an old grudge." Detroit Tribune. Rnral Logic.

The Girl of Other Days. f Once I loved a little maiden In the days of lone ago. Ehe was Just my kind of people. And V think I told her bo. But. alas,' apart we drifted. She to school and X to btx. And our brief romance was ended. But I wonder where she Is. We would wander In the meadows When the weather wasn't rough Planning how we should get married Soon as we got big enough. When the shades of evening lengthened Homeward slowly we would flock Lest we should get spanked for staying Out till after eight o'clock. No one knew our tender secret. No one guessed we were engaged Or that underneath our jackets Such a fiery passion raged. For we kept It under cover Lest the boys and girls should cry: "He's her feller!" "She's his honey!" As they saw us passing by. It was in the sober autumn Or perhaps It was In May, For I cannot quite remember When her parents moved away That we parted, vows exchanging, Down beside the old mill dam, But I often idly wonder Does she wondfr where I am.

Interfering Vith Their Snap. Americans who stroll over into Mexico looking for treasure or most anything that looks like a second cousin to easy money sometimes bump into other things besides gold and copper mines. As long as the natives consent to dig holes ' in the ground and shovel ore from them into a box car life is sweet and sunny for the prospector, but when the natives get tired of digging and go on vacation or the warpath things are not so pleasant. When the American miner gets up In the morning and finds his favorite engineer, who had not been complaining the day before that he needed ventilation, shot full of holes he is apt to say unpleasant things about the government and to express a wish to his private secretary or his favorite mule that his great and good friend, Uncle Sam, were the, powers that be on that side of the line. Of course he can get another engineer, but a fracas of that sort is apt to alarm hisi-friends, who' were grabbing mining stock, as a hungry fish goes after a piece of liver. A Sure Tip. "Pa, when Is the dollar sign used?" "Whenever a man .wants to get quick ervlce, my son." The Boom City. "How large is the population of this town?" "About 21,000." "But I met a man half an hour ago who said it was 20,000." "Well, that just shows how, It is growing." Warm Prospect. The summer days may warm up somftAnd roast us to a turn. But when the fall elections coma We'll have hot air to burn. - Where He Cot His Idea. "He is predicting the end of the .world in thirty days." "Must have a note coming due then." Up to Her. you like your "How do new hired girl?" She hasn't told me yet.' Cats and Locomotives. It is said) that a great many more cats than dogs are killed each year by locomotives. ti An' old railroad man explains this by saying that most of the cats are killed at night, when the glare of the headlight attracts their attention and renders them unconscious of Impending r danger. Alfonso, the Battler. Alfonso I. of Aragon was surnamed the Battler. Hewas quarrelsome in disposition and perpetually engaged in' broils with hisnelghbors. Th'e -Hottest Peppers. The hottest 'of air red peppers is made from that variety,; which grows on the coast of Guinea, in Africa. There is believed-to be some element In the soil of that country- which produces 'the bitingquality of the pod. Guinea pepper is to ordinary V red ; pepper: what Scotch snuff is'-to Maccaooy. Wheat T Plants. There are several' plants of the wheat family which are perennial and reappear in. the same fields or localities from year :to-yeac, indefinitely. Charges the t Affable. " " Charles VIII. f France was surnamed the Affable. He always removed his hat in answer to a salutation, even if the greeting came from a peasant The Treadmill The treadwheel, or treadmill, as it Is usually termed, its purpose generally having been for grinding corn or turning machinery, was the invention of Mr. Cubitt, an engineer of Lowestoft, England, the notion of such a piece of mechanism owing its conception to an accident. t A Gill. When small measures are not convenient it is profitable to know that eight tablespoonfuls make one gill. . Tme at Sea. Time is kept at sea by watches. Each watch is four, hours long, and every half hourfis marked off by strokes upon a bell. Thus half past 8 is one bell and -12 is eight bells, half past 12 one bell, and so on. Colnagre Laws.

.V Bertie Herron, Minstrel Miss, AT THE THEATERS Vaudeville at the Phillips. J3illy Arnold, who is at the New Phillips this Treek with Lida Gardner in a comedy sketch entitled "The Minstrels," is as funny a man in this role i. as one would care to see. and he does not have to work himself to death to accomplish. the feat either. Arnold's style ..of .humor is rather of the dry order, but it is the kind that brings a ready response from the audience. The act concludes with "The; Broadway ' Swell," put' on by Miss Gardner, male impersonator and mimicked by "Arnold, the whole making a most ludicrous affair. Billy Tann, the 'dancing man. is a wooden sole dancer and he h?s the terpsichorean art at-his toes' ends, executing many difficult steps, to which he adds some interesting monologue. Jennings and Renfrow, who also appear in blackface, make a feature of several songs that are up-to-the-minute. Al Leonhardt'is a clever "grotesque comedian and there is something doing every minute that he is on the stage. Carta Homes and Mazie Deane have a great deal of musical ability, displayed In the playing of a variety of instruments,' concluding with a trombone and cornet duet that is effective. The songs this week are "In the Valley by the Sea," and Star of My Life." As was the case last week. Friday nigh will be given, over, to the amateurs am several have already asked to be 'allowed to appear at that time so that the program will be much lengthened. Vaudeville at the Gennett. Any one who sees Hickey and Nelson at'the Gennett this week In vaudeville and does not feel justified in laughing can promptly get his money refunded by calling at the box office. Hickey, of this team, is without doubt one of the funniest L men ever seen at this house and he doesn't make any noise about it either. The title of "eccentric comlques in "Twised and Tangled" is most fittingly bestowed. Hickey, in his stage makeup at least, is the prize ugly one and he wears a pair of trousers that would. easily? accomodate the fattest man that Barnum ever dreamed of showing the American people. The manyithings - that he can turn into furit suggest fan unlimited capacity in : this linej of entertainment. Fay, Coley and 'Fay. who have a minstrel turn, aje clever entertainers and make. at decided hit, their "street car finish" - being a novelty that creates no end of laughter. There is also much el se4 on -the bill that is deserving of mention and that sufflhes to make the bill one of, a most acceptable nature.

The good sale of seats and the daily Increasing interest, indicates that Innes and his great orchestral band, which comes to the Coliseum for two concerts tomorrow will get a most cordial reception. It is the desire of tha Richmond people bringing the band here that as many women 'and children as possible may attend, and with this object in view the prices for the matinee have been made fifteen cents for children and twenty-five - cents for

adults. This the manaoement feels to attend with their children. The
