commendable act on the part of the
council hist u-ek The Home
people have acted in a gentlemanly

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.

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

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

finished ho stepped forward and

"Now, see hero, Hoke, old boy.

A reviewer ill tho Outlook rebukes

whether there is any "natural con

Tho wedding dnnce was being

Tho music was furnished by n piano
organ nt nc end of tho long room,

a tnblo was spread with ca!:cs nnd

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

trousers, cilher light tun or brown,

about tho waist, tho folds serving
