1 ue granting ot a lrnueliie to
the Home Telephone Co, was a
commendable act on the part of the
council hist u-ek The Home
people have acted in a gentlemanly
busiuosih-like manlier, and wci'e
ijtiite generous in tliur proiKiaitiou
to repay the the city for the use of
the streets. A good telephone sys
tem here has been a long-felt want
in St. Johns. The abominable
service that has been dished out to
us for the past year will cause all
to heave a sigh of relief over the
prospect of good service ut last.
The Home comes well etpiipiK-d to
supply the wants of all the itihab
hunts, and no doubt will meet with
great success when they commence
to solicit patronage.

A young man in St. Johns has

Sprinkling the lawns and gardens
is now it steady occupation morn

The average man cannot affoid
lo employ a physician for every
slight ailment or injury that may
occur in his family, nor can he
affoid to neglect them, as so slight
111 injury as the scratch of a pin
has been known to cause the loss
of 11 limli. Hence every man must
from necessity be his own doctor

HE TURNED THE LAUGH.
A Quick Wlttcd Orator Who
Was
Equal to tlie Occasion.
An orator who wits equal to on
emergency was the laic (Jcorgo A.
Sheridan, who was n noted "spell
binder" often engaged by the Re
publican national committee. At a
big meeting he was addressing in a
town near New York he was intro
duced by a Mr. O'Brien, Hie chair
man, in most flattering terms. In
order to reciprocate Mr. Sheridan
paid a glowing tribute to tho ster
ling nualitios of tho chairman and
wound up the eulogy bv assorting
that no man could siiy Mr. O'Rricn
owed him a cent.
"Ho owes mo S.'U eamu a keen
Celtic voice from tho rear
audience.
It was almost a solar plexus blow
for the orator, and the audience
started lo laugh and jeer. Rallying,
the speaker said: "Don't be alarm
ed, good friends, i will answer that
man prosonlly." This assertion was
lo gain time and if possible havo
tho audience forgot the incident.
Rut again Unit penetrating voico
cried out:
"lie owes mo $11 cold cash!"
Advancing lo tho edge of llio
platform, General Sheridan In n
confidential tone raid: "Yes. I know
all about Hie $ for my friend, Mr.
O'Rricn, has given 1110 the Inside
facts. Ladies ami gentlemen, tho
truth Is simply this, and it rvvruls

Tha Refornud Gambler.
A reformed gambler from Ohio
wilt to Wiishinulo'i when lloko
Sitiilh was MM'rctary of thu interior
and, saying that In had forsaken
guines of chanro, sought employ
ment. A friend introduced him to
loko Smith, staling his case. Mr.
Smith listened attentively and then
mid:
"I will do what I en 11. I will look
il.to the vacancies and see if I can
phieo him. I would like to give him
n chnnco very uiiich. '
All this liiim flu! reformed gam
bler had been standing ouietlv, ey
ing llio secretary. After Smith had
finished ho stepped forward and
f.iid:
"Now, see hero, Hoke, old boy.

Oak nnd Mlttlatoo.
A reviewer ill tho Outlook rebukes
mi American writer for wondering
whether there is any "natural con
nwtion" hot ween the oak and tho
mulli'too, seeing how constantly
Ihoy 1110 lUroeiatt'd. "In (treat
Rrilain," Hiv the reviewer, "th
oak is 0110 of the trees on which tho
mUtlotno notoriously tlotw not
grow." And it is trim' thai tho Kng

Tho wedding dnnce was being
held In n long, narrow building near
a fountain, and wo entered on a
smooth earth floor. Seats were ar
ranged nbout tho sides of tho white
washed room, and tho low rafters
were draped and festooned with fan
cy wall papor with gold scrolls In it.
Tho music was furnished by n piano
organ nt nc end of tho long room,
turned in rotation by n number of
small boys in their clean blue
blouses and brown corduroy
breeches, who felt their importance,
and nt the other end of tho room
a tnblo was spread with ca!:cs nnd
bread and n wino concoction very
ewect nnd pleasant, but ecdiicti 'c.
Tho women, some bringing their
babies, wert a pleasant set, but not
beautiful, although n few, with
their lnrgo dark eyes, enmo very
near to it. They did not wear tho
gny costumns of my imagination,
out their drosses showed great enre
and conscientious patching. A gay
handkerchief was often folded
around tho neck and across tho
breast, and largo earrings end big
breastpins wcro tho vogue even
among tho young women. Tho men
woro broad brimmed black felt hits
nnd elenn blue blouses, corduroy
trousers, cilher light tun or brown,
nnd tho long red or black sash belt
cnlled n "fcjn" wound many times
about tho waist, tho folds serving
ns pockets for cigarettes, tobacco
pouch nnd tho villainous knifo that
ovcrv ono carries.
The dances were "round," Inter
spersed with a squnro dance, whoro
four people comprised a set n sort
of fandango, with lots of stamping
nnd attempts at lithe, scrpentiuo
motions, with tho hnnds rnlscd
nbove llio head. Thcro wns n very
old man who danced with great
gusto and amused tho crowd of
young people, who encouraged him
with clapping of hnnds. Kdwnrd

form of tho stono is sometimes

Some of these stones nro as largo
