It la aura to be funny, and, even If it Isn't ao acreamlngly funny aa some other things wa have read or heard, It cornea from the man to whom we owe half a century of laughter, from one who. In hie cheery, unselfish, kindly way, means to be funny to the very end. s So we laugh quite heartily with Mark when be addresses the news paper editors, through the form of a simulated advertisement : Ha- Harper's Weekly, on the subject of obituaries. He asks of them the privilege of edit ing the obituary notices of himself which they -may happen to have on hand. "Thia not for present profit further than as eoncerpe my family. he explains, "but aa a favorable Influ ence usable on the otber side, where there are some wbo are not friendly to me, -.',-." "It is my desire that such Journals and periodicals aa have obituaries of me lying in their pigeonholes, wlta i view to sudden use some day, will not wait longer, but will publish them now and kindly-send me a marked copy. 1 will correct them not the facts, but the verdicts striking out such clauses aa could have a, oeleterlous Influence ou the other side, and replacing them With clauses of a more judicious character. should, or . course, expect to pay double rates for both the omissions and the substitutions, and I should also expect to pay quadruple rates for all obituaries which proved to be rightly and wisely worded in the originals. thus requiring no emendations at alL It is my desire to leave .these amended obituaries neatly bound be hind me as a perennial consolation and entertainment to my family, and aa an heirloom which shall have a mournful but definite commercial value for. my remote posterity." Then aa an afterthought, he adds this delicious postscript: i P; 8.

About forty people' were present For every pupil ' that played titers waa : a mother present In anxious anxiety to give a pleasant sigh of relief, when the selection waa finished. One did not have to listen to the music to bear all chords atruck at once In order to know that the last notes were reached the mother's countenance unconsciously told the story. Even to the one who could not appre ciate music the recital was Interesting. The violin solo by Miss Lnla Kate Mew- borne, just ableto mark her age by three times three, was enjoyed even by the man who may have had no music In his soul. ' Her soft woman's touch demon strated the fact that though music maybe developed yet to have real music the sonl itself must be in it. Miss Ine Wooten's vocal solo was also greatly appreciated. Miss Wooten has a ' atrona- velce under .,nn. i the result of her vear's work nnder Miss Claypoole.

Hi Ls L - v j Ll f y V Get Your a.t lot.to CASTRO READY FOR ARBITRATION IIIISTER BOWEI ASICED TO ICT. Ha Walts for Consent Frca Stiti Si- , ' , partment Washington, D. a. Use 18.-Pretdent Castro baa clothed Minister Bowea with powera to affect a settlement with Great Britain, Germany and Italy. Mr. Bowea simply awaits the consent of the state department to assume the task, assum ing that the nations named are willing that he should undertake this work. It Is believed that the critical phase ot the Veneiuela difficulty Is passed. - W hether the consent of the govern ments mentioned can be obtained, will. It is believed here, depend entirely upon tbe sufficiency of any guarantee that ean be given for the faithful discharge by President Castro of any obligations he may assums as the result of Mr. Bowen's efforts. The allies feel that they most be assured against the consequence of an other reiolntloo and the repudiation by the president who may follow Castro la bla undertaking. . The effort to induce the United States government to act aa guarantor, it la safe to ear, will not suc ceed, and it ls beginning to appear that there Is likely to be a mixed eommlselon appointed to receive all Venesoelan cus toms and, setting apart a certain por tion for the maintenance of the Vene zuelan government, disburse the remain der among tba powers until their obliga tions are met. The government of France baa bow entered the field aa an active party In Interest In the Venezuelan trouble. Tbe French government has, through Its am bassador and charges ' and ministers, served notice upon the governments of Great Britain. Germany and Italy, and as information, has told Secretary Hay that any ' provision mad for the settle ment of the claims agaist Venesnela most recognise tne pre-eminence at the French claims. The French government received assurance from tbe other gov ernments named that any arrangements would provide for the security of the French interests In the Venezuelan Cus toms.

Tbe cause aceribed for the deed la domestio troubles, which la substance are aa followa: Emmett married the daughter of Mr. J.
