The Color Line.
If, as Is now claimed by an eastern
Individual, St. Peter is or was a color
ed man, the "white trash" wlli have a
hard time getting past him, while the
mere fact that "culled pusson" pur
loined a nice juicy hen while living In
Denver will not be considered so
serious as to bar him from the New
Jerusalem. Denver News.
Arranging His Toilet.
The king of gamblers sat aloue
With a mirror in his hand:
One of his Fridays came along
And took his watchful stand.
"Why this mirror, O my king?"
Thus did the Friday prate.

"If my lid Is still on straight" A,

A sympathizing friend stood over

something that might console the

nothing more befitting thnn a pass

way ho delivered It:
"Blessed are they that die at the
eleventh hour."
He Might as Well Go Back.
If Hall Caine has come Into tho land

he rather likes the fast.; of husks and
will stay with us. Denver News.

Inventor.
"But I thought tho machine was fin

"It Is, but I've got to hire a man to

A VISION OF THE FUTURE.
Four envoys In a navy yard
With solemn care debated,
And meanwhile on a distant field
The warring forces waited.
One word, and each opposing brave
Would fall upon his brother;
One word, and battle's lust for blood
Would love and pity smother.
The cannon boomed, the bells rang
peace,
And loud was the rejoicing.
While gray-haired parents laughed
and wept.
Their happy feelings voicing.
Thus precious lives, the flower of
youth,
Were saved a thankful nation,
The Yalevnrd-Prlncerah foot ball
game
Was played by arbitration.

The Clerk Whistled.
A Scotch minister Instructed his
clerk, who sat among the congrega
tion during service, to give a low
whistle if anything in her sermon ap
peared to be exaggerated. On hear
ing the minister say: "In those days
there were snakes fifty feet long,"
the clerk gave a subdued whistle. "I
should have said thirty feet." added
the minister. Another whistle from
the clerk. On sonsulting Thompson's
Concordance," said the minister, "I
see the length is twenty feet." Still
anothiT whistle; whereupon the
preached leaned over and said in a
stage whisper: "Ye can whistle as
much as ye like MasPherson, but I'll
no take anlther foot off for anybody!"
In Crimean Times.
In Crimean times (says the "Tat
tler") the Highland regiments were
so full of Iliberlans that many stories
were current exploiting the fact. One
gallant Scottish colonel, it was said,
resolved to take the sense of the reg
iment on the vital question of adopt
ing the plaid as an essential part of
the uniform. When the orderly came
to report the result, the colonel was
scandalized to find that only two of
his men favored the suggestion, "Ami
who are there two gallant Highland
ers?" he asked. "Ooch!" replied tho
orderly, "sure it's Corporal O'Brien
nn' Private OCallaghan, sorr!"
Bulk From the West.
The bulk of the commercial honey
crop conies from the Went and South

Utah and Nevada the yield is reported
to be poor to fair. California has a
moderate crop, and other producing
States only a fair crop. Producers
are holding their stock at an advance
over last year's prices, the advance
amounting to about two cents per
pound.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES.
The first term of the scholastic
year, l!i"u-i'i, has thus far (three
weeks) proved u record breaker.
The enrollment to date, October Vth.
Is three hundred and thirty-one, nnd
every day adds to the rapidly Increas
ing; number. Already it is necessary
to divide classes because of their sl.o
and soon it will be necessary to mako
sub-divisions.
Students are here from the I'liclflc
Coast on the West llulf of Mexico on
the South, and the Creat Lakes on the
North. The College Department has
enrolled a larger number than usual
and all of the industries lire over
crowded.
Summer school students are sending
in letters from various points, telling;
how much was gained in methods of
leaching and subject, matters; that,
they have been able to secure better
positions with higher salaries bocuusn
of the work accomplished during; I lie
seven weeks' course in Lincoln In
stitute. Craduiites of the Institution are
constantly in demand to fill excellent
positions both within and without tho
slate; and President. Allen, who takes
great pleasure tu looking after their
welfare, and who Is always hunting
them up, has been able to secure good
positions for nearly or quite all of the
graduates of the hist three years, who
have desired to teach.
The football team is getting in shapo
for lis annual triumphs on the grid
iron; meanwhile the young ladies are
ellJoNlllg exercises through croque)
and oilier games of the campus. Tim
psychology of the new education roc
ogni.iti the fact that "All work ami
no play" Is, In say the least, Injurious.

The many friends of the institu
tions will read with great pleasure, the
aillele ill Ihe October number of the
.Missouri School Journal, "The MIs
i.ouii School System," in which oc
curs the following well-merited testi
monial: ' Lincoln Institute is a college, nor
mal school and Industrial institute all
III one. is liol to lie surpassed by
Tuskogco or Hamilton in Industrial
features, although it is not advertised
nearly i-o much. It Is supported by
Hie slat" and does not have the ap
peal lo the cliai'italilv inclined for sup
pott. There Is no good reason for exploit
ing its merits. Tho many students
from oilier slates seek admission
now."

cost you but a dollar."

The dealer was correct, nnd we
have no complaint to make.
The watch worked like a charm -exactly
like a charm.
"Papa." he said one day, "sailors
must bi awful small men."
"Why do you think so?" asked his
father.
"Because," answered Harry, "I read
