"Wall, Hntterna, we're aure of enough

The I'orpolae had bean equipped and

There were many polnta of reaam

It wna nt a grand banquet, a aort of

Thla banquet waa I)r. ClAwbonnya

"Quite right." aald Johnaon! "when

"Just tha thing!" aald Hell.
"Ktrsl rate!" exclaimed Johnson.
"'Doctor' house!'"
"We cannot do better," chimed In
Altamont. "Hurrah for Dr. Clawbon

barking hla loudest.
"It la agreed, then." aatd Hntterna,
"thnt thla houae la to be culled 'Doa

The doctor modestly protested
ngalnat the honor, but he waa obliged

"There la that Immenso aen which

"Well. It wouldn't be hnrd to think

"Truo enough. Hnttorna," said Attn

Hntterna wna about to reply when

"I dispute tho claim," said the Eng

thnt you certainly did not do. Where

"And wlmt Is that namet" Inquired

ABOUT THE "KATISAfl BANANA."
I'awpanr Aluiuilniit Thera Many
Consider It at llelleaey,
Oeorgo Itemsburg, the AUshlton
county historian, say the Kansas City
Journnl. hat boon hunting: up some
thing nbout the pawpaw. Ha says:
"In tho old chronicles of the early
explorer and travelers through this
section of the country I find much
mention of tho pawpaw, which seem
to have Wen aa abundant In this re
gion a century or inoro ngo as at tha
present time, In these early accounts
the Mtlmntr of the edlblcnets of the
pawpaw seem to Ikj nbout equally di
vided. One pronounced It delicious,
while another would lead you to be
lieve that It was realty deleterious.
However, I believe tha following from
Charles Augustus Murray, In an ac
count of hi western travels in 1834,
1836 and 1836, Is tha strongest en
comium aver bestowed upon tha Kan
ms and Missouri banana.
"While passing this locality on a
steamer he landed and secured some
ripe pawpaws, tha first he bad seen,
and which he pronounced the most de
licious fruit In tba world. It resem
bles tho bannna of tha West Indies,'
ha continues, but Is mora rich am!
luscious. When opened the Interior is
exsrtly Ilka a custard and the flavor
something between a fig and a plno
npple. Al'hough I prefor this fruit
to tha banana or pineapple, I find It
I not f enerally so highly esteemed, be
ing considered too rich and cloying;
moreover. I was told It was extremely
unwholesome. This I found to be nn
nbsurd prejudice (as I have often
eaten from six to twelvo nt a time
without unnleasAnt consequence).'
"The belter In Its hurtful qualities
probably owes Its origin to the fact
that hogs, which rotm the woods nnd
eat the nroduco of every other fructif
erous plant, would not touch tho paw
paw. Another en mo of tha low esti
mation In which it Is hold Is Its ex
treme nbundanco: they grow In thou
annds In tha woods, as thick na nuts
In an English hnoelwood nnd children
soon get sick ami tired of eating them.'

Inelrllllr f Woman,
We henr nnd rend much concerning

civility to wotnanT I there anything
to equal ItT There are, says an ob
serving writer, would-bo ladles, there
are so-cniled ladles and there are la

likely to rise to tho third, Whether
through fault or mlsfortuna an unfin
ished lady seldom achieves the fin
ished state.
The lack of consideration for tha
rights of others shown in public by
women who pass by courtesy for
ladle I of a kind peculiar to Itself
and members of their own sex are
usually the victims. Women who trav
el In public conveyances with their
children are sometimes almost brutal
ly callous. Who has not seen a mother
sitting angle-wise, with a child for
whom she has paid no fare occupy
ing another futl seat, while tired and
package-laden women are "strap-hanging"
In visible discomfort directly in
front of her? Conductors, however effi
cient, must not criticise the manners
if their passengers too strenuously and
few men venture to complain to or of
a woman, therefor the remedy would
seem to depend on the victims them
selves, If the evil Is to be remedied
at all.
One of the guiding rules of would-be
ladles who never will be ladle appears
to be that of "last coma first served."
You will best observe this womanish

Meek and patient women who bava

of a lady sail airily up, elbow herself
to the front, claim her stamps and go
blithely on her way, quite with tha
air of having done nothing that could
call for unfavorable criticism. How
ever other women may feel about It,
to a man It Is both amusing and exas
perating to note tha serene Impudence
with which some of these dear angels
of the fair sex rush In whore poor
tola of men fear to tread.
