MARTIN & SANDERS
Personal and Pertinent.
Private Secretary Halford’s illness is
said to be ilue to over-indulgence in
cigars.
John L. Sullivan may find it difficult
to change from a law-breaker into a law
maker.
Corporal Tanner’s resignation is met
with perfect resignation on the pait of
the public.
The prefect of the Seine has snubbed
Boulanger. The way of the agitator is
often hard.
Mrs. Cleveland recently shot a deer in
the Adirondacks. Who says she is lead
ing an aimless life?
Robert Browning bears a striking re
semblance to James O. Blaine. Nobody
even at campaign time, ever accused the
latter of writing poetry.
Edward Bellamy, the novelist, is a
slender, rather good-looking man who
wears a mustache and looks no more
“literary” than AVm. D. Howells.
R. I). Blackmore, the English novelist,
who gained immortality by writing “Lor
na Doone” is growing old and now de
votes most of his time to tending his
garden.
The White Cross University of Science
has decorated Geo. AV. Childs, James
Gordon Bennett, Thomas A. Edison,
John AV. Mackay Cvrus AV. Field and
AV. AV. Hubbell’
Ernest Benzon, the "Jubilee Plunger,”
whose book on how he squandered over
$1,000,000 in two years is having a run in
England, says that the worst form of
gambling consists in betting on cards.
King Dinah, of Africa, who has made
a sensation in Paris, has received au of
fer from an American dime museum pro
prietor to travel in thia country. To the
song “Dinah AVon’t You Come?” Dinah
sings “No.”
Emmons Blaine was married to Miss
McCormick, of Chicago, at Richfield
Springs, N. Y., on Sept. 26. Miss Mc
Cormick is a tall, slender brunette and
resembles her father. She has a charm
ing manner, quiet disposition anil, as has
been widely heralded, a large fortune.
Secretary Blaine and his family will go
to Richfield Springs in a few days. A
handsome suit of rooms has been en
gaged for them at the Spring House. Mr.
Emmons Blaine and his bride will reside
in AA’ashington.
President Harrison has changed his i
demeanor in various important details
since he was elected to his present office.
He used to hang his head in a spiritless
way ami never looked anybody in the
eye. His manner waB what is known as
“slouching.” Now, however, he has
braced up. He holds his head high, his
shoulders back and there is a straight
forward glance in his eyes new and then
when he is talking to an office-seeker.
He is more particular about his clothes
than he used to lie, and has really been
improved by his elevation.
Rather an Awkward Fix.
“Funny thing happened to me once,”
said the doctor. “I was at a little town
in the western part of Iowa last fall at a
place where I had stayed over night to
nee a friend and expected to go to Sioux
City next morning. The train was sched
uled to leave at 10 o’clock, and shortly
after 9, having seen that my trunk was
duly checked, I decided to get my side- !
burns shaved off. so strolled into a har
der shop nearly opposite the station. I
There was only one chair in the place, I
and that was run by a little fat barber.
He received me cordially, worked along 1
quite leisurely, and had one side nicely
ehaved when a bell began ringing fnri- I
ously and a man ran along the main
street yelling “Fire! Fire!” at the top of
his lungs. AVithont waiting to explain
or apologize, my fat friend threw down
razor and rushed out doors, leaving me
to await his return.
I sat very pa
tiently for ten or fifteen minutes, or until
it was very near train time, and then I J
began to grow restive. It was absolutely
necessary for me to get to Sioux City the
Sime day and theie I sat with a beautiful I
sidewhisker on my left cheek and the ,
right one as bare as the palm of my
hand. Finally 1 threw away the cigar I '
was smoking and went outside where sat
a small lame boy, the only creature in
in sight. ‘AVhere in thunder’s the bar
ber ?’ I asked.
“Oh he’s down ter the fire, mister.
Yer sec Billy’s foreman o’ther hook and
ladder company, an’spees ter be 'lected
chief o’ tiier department next spring an’
he don’t miss no fires, Billy don’t!”
“I groaned and went back in the shop;
it lacxed two minutes of train time, so
seizing the scissors I clipped off the left
whisker as close as I could, then rushed
for the depot just as the train pulled in.
I sneaked aboard and hid in the smoker
until we arrived in Sioux City, where I
had the job properly finished. Nice ex
perience, wasn’t it?”
An Example for all Men.
Ex-Senator Ross, of Kansas, always
tails on his feet. Whenever lie retires
from office—as lie lias done several times
—lie steps into the nearest printing office
and goes to work at his trade as a com
positor. Pretty soon lie steps up—or
down—and is next heard of as an editor,
from which it is not a long stride for him
to another office. And so he goes his
rounds. A few weeks ago lie was gover
nor of New Mexico, and, as .governors of
territories go, a fairiy good one. Thence
lie went to fingering the type, and now
he is at work at the editorial desk again.
But lie is not likely to be out of office
long. Some change in himself or some
political elevation is pretty certain to
bring him into harmony with the popular
sentiment and give him another place
under the government.—/’, out the Hontoii
Trartltr.
