Senator Tillman spoke of the ne gro problem in San Francisco not long ago. The. Call of that city i tells an incident of the senator's lecture. Tillman had announced his intention of proving that the -negro ! was not the equal of. the white man ; and asked any one in the audience "HAVE TOU A DAt'CaiEB ?" who held the colored man to be the equal of the white to stand up. In the rear of the hall a man aros"c. "I will prove to you' said Till man, "that you yourself do not be lieve the negro to be the equal of the white man. First let me ask you if you are a man ( i family' "I am," answered the man from the rear of the hall. "Have you a daughter?" asked the senator. "I have," was the reply. . "Now, let me ask you," continued Tillman, "would you allow her to marry a nigger ?" ' "X negro mhn, yes, but not a ne gro scoundrel," was the reply. The senator started in amazement at the unexpected answer when sud denly some one in the audience cried out, "It's a negro you're talk ing to!" Tillman finally discovered that it was in truth a negro, and he tailed out to the man that if he had had his specs with him he would have known his kind. Chicago Post. Judga Hacked a Billboard. Justice John W. Linck of Taco ma, Wash., recently gave proof of his interest in civic improveaient when he set an example to other advocates of the city beautiful by chopping down a high billboard planted iijon his property. The story of Justice Linck's work was told by himself. Said he : "What do you think I did in the way of getting a bit of exercise the other day? I got a hatchet, aud, going to my property, I found an excellent form of exercise in chop ping down a large newly painted billboard put up without my per mission. "Iy ob;"ection to the billboard, however, was net that it had been erected wiihout permission or upon my lot. My- objection was to the thing itself as a nuisance which, be ing upo: n'v property, I had a right to destroy." I did it all myself. It was a fc':fi job, but finally it fell to the ground. "I have a tiii-picion," concluded the justice;, "that the billboard Agency wiQ not erect any more signs upon my property." Brook lyn Eagle. Hi& Hainiiks Honesty. Mrs. M. G. Quackenbos, whom Attorney General Bonaparte has made one of his special assistants in the carrpaign against the trusts, is a New York lawyer. Mrs. Quackenbos has the faculty of underscoring a remark wiih an appropriat" fable. Thus, discussing the other day the character of a cer--tain notorious millionaire, she said: (( suppose there is some honesty in the man, but it is hard. to find. It reminds me of the railway ham sandwich.

The elementary details oT the duck shooter's outfit are familiar .to at wrho have patiently bravtd the blustering weather in a ,blhid, patching the waterfowl from dawn t ) sunset. Duck shooting demands tiat you adopt high waders, heavy rxsping flannels, visored caps with ear flaps, corduroy trousers, glove3 a ad big brutes of ten bores that car- . ry half across the lake. These and the sneak boat full of -decoys seem essential to complete success, for i suallj- and in some localities al v ays they are the proper thing3 fr the duck hunter. . . His alarm clock scares him out cf a troubled sleep and routs him fron 3 warm bed at 3:30 a. m. of a nasty, f orra tormented morning, and he rgs himself . hastily in flannels anl' cinvasand corduroy and rubber f iat he may live through the pleas r ut work on the shoppy waters, wit 1. enly the sleet and the north win 1 end occasional streaks of ducks to 1 cep him company. I have often tne through a da c f such tortures and only dnly con-. tidered it great sport after the fight was over and the ice drive 1 c ut of my systoai by the blazing lc j f re of the clubhouse. A good su - er and an easy chair before the firs ' put a fellow in a contented burnoV-, i tven if the flight was thin and the j weather thick. : It honestly is killing- work breast- : iag the icy. bl&t ts, freezing slowly ; from fingers to toc if the fowl aie j not plentiful enough to keep tie j. runs m active play and nnaily doing a numb fingered stunt at gather-,, ing ice covered ceccys into a bounc ing boat.

However, there a:o other ways to shoot ducks aud other fields .where one need not get wet feet, freeze to death, incumber him self -with clothes of three men or even use his beloved boat and de coys. Charles H. Morton in Eecre ution. Ths Cost of Oratory. Many a speaker has been credited with skill as an extempore orator the secrets of whose study would rob him of any such honor. The late James G. Blaine used somi :imes to dictate to a reporter as he valked the ' floor of his study a speech to be delivered in the even ing of the same day, and the speech, of the afternoon and that of the ovening would Le identical in every i-espect. Y'et the speech as delir ored in the auditorium had all the appearance, the grace and charm of extempore oratory. Sir J ohn Mil lais was a graceful speaker, but his speeches cost him a great deal of time and labor. At a dinner given at the Arts club on Leighton's ap pointment as prasident of thejoyal academy Millais was in the chair. He made an admirable speech frank, sympathetic, eloquent aud apparently unstudied. His friends congratulated him, saying they had no idea he had the gift of oratory or could speak eo well and so spon taneously. "Spontaneous!" he saJd. "Why, that wretched speech has kept mo awake for the last fi.re fl-eeks!" A Benevolent Disaster. There -had- been a dreadful flood. One old fellow who. had lost neaily everything lie possessed was sitting j on the roof of his house as it 05: fc- ed along. He wa3 gazing pe'niively out over the waters when a man in a boat approached. "Hello, Bill!" "Hello, Sam !" "All 3our fowls washed awry, Bill?" "Yes, but the ducks can swim' replied the old man, with a f ai it j smile. 'Teach -trees gone, too, eh ?" "Well, they f-aid the crop world be "a failure anyiow." "I see the flood's above your win dows." V That's all right, Sam. The m winders needed washin' anyhow." Then the man in the boat took advantage of the benevolent fio and moved on. ' ,.xor who was obliged to move was looking for a desirable location for his store. "I want a place," he said to t?ie agent, "that i? sandwiched in be tween two well lighted stores. . I find that I can cut down my ex penses for lighting considerably if my store lias-'other brightly lighted shops for neigt bors. Where I v as before there was a saloon on cue side of me and a rcstauraut-on the other side. Tho proprietors of b( th places kept their premises "so frii liautlv illnminrted- that I profited by their reflected glory and kept my store front aglow by burning only half as many lights as T should h;.vo had to burn if there had been drrlc houses on both sides."

Gunsaulus was in the pastorate of Plymouth church, Chicago, Philip D. Armour .was his most eminent parishioner. Mr. Armour had long admired the New York evangelist and was dis tressed when he. heard that the de cline, of the journal threatened to leave its editor and owner, Dr. Hen ry M. Field, in penury in his old age. - The packer asked Dr. Gunsaulua to invite the editor to Chicago, and then he himself invited them both to dinner in his home. At the table Mr. Armour turned the conversa tion almost immediately to the ed itor's brother, already long de-.'eas eel, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, inventor of the ocean telegraph. Said Mr. Armour: "I am sorry that in your brother's lifetime I did not recognize more clearly my debt to him. Now every cay i sit m my ofhee and comn.uni caie with my agents all over the world, and my business multiplies wonderfully just because I can keep m touch with markets. for my proel nets in every country. And I owe it all to your brother. If it hadn't been for his faith in the ocean r able I could never have built up such a trade. I keep wishing I had done something while he was living to show him that I appreciated ms achievement." The packing king kept up the same strain of conversation through most of the meal. Toward the lakt a plate set down before the e liter contained among the viands of the course a small slip of folded paper. Dr. Field opened it doubtfully and found written within: "Good for $10,000, payable at the office of the Armour 'Packing com pany to the brother of Cyrus W. Field." The venerable editor wa3 over whelmed with confusion and scarce ly was able to express his feelings. But, of course, as his host had cal culated, he could not decline a gift given in his brother's memory. In terior. Boiling a Ham. A great many women do not know how properly to boil a ham. Many of them put it in a pot of water and let it cook, fast or slow, as the fire may allow, until they think it is done. Try this way for a change and see if the little trouble involved is not worth while. Boiled ham to be at its best requires very slow cooking. Put the ham in a kettle, cover it with cold water and let it soak four hours. Take it out, wash it thoroughly, scrape and cleen off the hard edges of the skin, put back in the kettle, cover with cold water and let it simmer until the moat is tender when tried with a fork. A ten pounel ham would require about five hours' cooking in this way. Re move the ham from the fire ar d let it stand in the water for an hour, then take from the water and re move the outside skin. Sprinkle the ham with granulated sugar and cracker crumbs, a dash of paprika and insert two or three whole cloves. Put in a slow oven and bake for an hour. Chicago News. Drewbacks of Culture. There is a certain matron of Chi cago's smart set whose devotion to matters social precludes any excess ive amount of attention to her chil dren. It happened receutly that she was just about to telephone to her physician for the second time to attend her youngest, a girl of three years, just theirstiffering from some minor ailment, when the doctor himself put in an appearance, . "I'm so glad you've come at last, doctor.!' exclaimed the matron. "1 don't know what on earth ails little Marie. The French nurse left tins morning, and there's not a soul in the house can understand whet she. says." Harper's Weekly. Died Gam. In the delirium of buck fever he mistook a colt for a deer. And the colt, mortally - stricken, it ii 1 i sank down upon tng straw cr jie barnyard, Wuig wi azecl upQ the nu;;tude of paic T-uiures that gathered gently about it. "Have you no last message for any one ?" they inquired. Thereupon the moribund animal raised its head proudly. "Tell my sire," it said in a lox;d, firm voice, "that I died game." One long, shuddering sigh and all was over. Atlanta Constitution. Easy Way to Return Favors. "If you owe somebody a dinner or something or an entertainment," remarked the careful man, "the best way I know to return it 13 to send them complimentary concert tickets somebody has given you. 1 know a pair of such tickets that did duty six times in the way of return ing obligations. ' I started them, they passed on to five other people, and, by jingo, if they nnaily didn't get back to me !" New York Press. ! Notice of Summons.
