A HOPELESS CASE.
"Adam. Where Art Thou."
There is a colored preacher in
Richmond, Va., says Lippincoti's,
whose favorite theme has ever
been infant bapiism. So frequent
ly were his sermons based on ihis
theme that his congregation at last
could endure them no longer. Ac
cordingly, a deputation appointed
by the Hock waited upon the min
ister, and in plain words advised
him that, in the event that he could
not find something else to say, thai
ihey would call some one who
could. The dusky divine prom
ised to meet their wishes, and on
the next Sunday announced as his
text, "Adam, where art thou?"
"This text, brethren," declaimed
the minister, can be divided into
fo' heads. First,- every man is
somewhar. Secondly, most men
are where they ain't got no busi
ness to be. Thirdly, you'd better
look out or you'll be there your
self. Fo'thly, infant baptism.
Now, brethrenr eckon we might
as well pass by the first three
heads, and come immediately to
the fo'th infant bapiism."
SAME ADDRESS.
Two wrptcheil looking cramps
were brought up before a j ustice
of the peace. Addressing the
worst looking one, the justice
said :
"Where do you li''e?"
"Nowhere."
"And where do you live?"
said the justice, addressing the
other.

No Alum No Lime Phosphates
OLD-TIME
BY FRANK L.
When the spirit moves them fiddlers to play their level best
No use to tell the old chaps lo jes' set still an' rest,
For it "fetches" 'em, I tell you they have another chance,
An' they don't feel out of order when ihey're up and in the dance'
Though grand od lop'ry music 10 ihem as likes it chimes,
My vote is fer the home kind the old tunes of old times;
I ain't no more the spry one I wuz so long ago,
But at a jig-tune, honey, I'm a-hittin' heel-an-toe !
The sweethearts of my young days are in the fur away,
But I feel swingin' 'em ag'in when right the fiddlers play.
Hit up the old tunes, fellers ! L'f they make me keep my seat
You'll know thai I am with you by the paitin' of my feet !
THE MONEYLESS MAN.
Is there no secrei place on the face of the eanh,
Where charily dwelleih, where love has its birth
Is there no place at all where a knock from the poor
Will bring a kind angel 10 open the door ?
Oh, search the world over, wherever you can,
There's no open door for a "Moneyless Man."
Go look at your Church with its cloud-reaching spire,
Which gives to the sun, its same look of red fire
Where arches and columns, so gorgeous within
And its walls seems as pure, as a babe without sin,
Walk down the long aisle, see the rich and the great,
In the pomp and the pride of Iheir worldly estate;
Walk down in your pathos, and find if you can,
Who opens the door for the "Moneyless Man."
Then go to your hovel, no raven has fed,
The wife who has waited loo long for her bread;
Kneel down by her pallet, and kiss the deaih frost,
From ihe lips of ihe Angel your poverty has lost,
And then in your agony, turn toward God
And bless while it smites ihee, the chastening rod,
You will find at the end of Life's little span,
There's a welcome above for the "Moneyless Man."

TRACING AN ANCESTOR.
Henry Cabot Lodge, though the
family is one of the oldest in Amer
ica has no sympathy with those
who claim descent front and use
the arms of William ihe Conquer
or, Richard Coeur de Lion, Char
lemagne, and so forth. There are,
as everybody knows, many such
persons among ihe American
snobs.
Atone of the New England so
ciety dinners in New York a young
man, twirling the Hohenzollern
crest upon his watch charm, said
to Senaior Lodge :
"How far can your ancestry be
traced?"
"I'm tempted to answer you
the words of Stuythe," said Sena
tor Lodge. Smyihe, you know,
when this question was put to him,
replied:
"When my great-grandfather
suddenly resigned his position
cashier of a Boston bank they
traced him as fur as Borneo, but
he got away."

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
BEWARE.
Apropos of his policy of silence,
Mayor Miichel, of New York, said
i a dinner:
"In silence there is safety. Those
who want opinions often get opin
ions they don't want. Take the
young planter's case.
"A young Mississipi plainer had
servant Uncle Jeff who had
cared for him as a child and who
was very devoted to him. The
young man became engaged 10 a
neighboring beauty who was cred-
led with a very bad temper. No
ticing that Uncle Jeff never men
tioned his approaching marriage,
(he young planter said one day :
'Jeff, you know 1 am going to
marry Miss Lamar?'
'Yes,' was ihe reply. 'I knows
it.'
' 'I haven't heard you say any
thing about it,' persisted ihe plan
ter. ' 'No,' Jeff acknowledged.
'1 ain't for me lo say nuffin' about
I isn't got nuffin' to say.'
' 'But what's your opinion about
it?'
' 'Well, massa,' said Jeff, with
some hesitation, 'you knows one
thing the most pisenest snakes
has got the most prettiest skins.' "
POINTED PARAQRAPHS.
And lovers rush in where hus
bands fear to tread.
A word to ihe wife is sufficient
to start a rough house.
There is usually a way to gel
around any kind of rule.
It's much easier to borrow trou
ble than to get rid of it.
It is easier for the average man
to stand adversity than prosperity,
and much more common.
In this land of plenty there are
plenty of people who haven't.
The girl who cant sing and wont
sing is entitled to her choice of
husbands.
If a woman marries ihe wrong
man il is because the right one
failed io ask her.
But the average man would
have no use for mirrors if he could
see himself in ihem as others see
hitn.
Adam's downfall was due to an
apple, but many another down fall
can be traced to a peach.
Take good care of what little
common sense you have, for the
world s suonlv doesn t begin to
equal the demand.
