TWO ENDS OF A MELON.
Ono Was All Right, But the Other
Held Intoxicants Which
Made Trouble.
Gustam is truly a connoisseur,
and the culinary feats he can per
form upon a two-burner gas stove
in his apartments isa wonder tohis
friends, relates the Chicago Inter
Ocean. He has been put on the
lookout for delectable delicacies
potent to cool and refresh. The
luxury that tickled his palate most
was a watermelon that had been
doctored with rum and claret and
cooled to the freezing point.
Inspired by this work of art,
Gustam forthwith planned a sur
prise for a few of his friends. He
procured a huge watermelon, the
necessary rum and wine, and, in
accordance with the recipe, stirred
up a mixture, plugged the m< !<>n,
poured in the liquid, insert'*'! :.o
plug, and set the whole in tin* re
frigerator to cool for two days.
Then, summoning his friends, he
cut the melon.
Before taking a bite himself,
Gustam proudly awaited the laud
atory remarks and exclamation*
of praise. His friends ate in si
lence. Upon tasting his slice Gus
tanu could detect but the faintest
flavor of rum and wine. What had
become of the two quarts of liquor
he had put in?
An hour or so later the janitor’s
wife knocked at the door, and as
she faced Gustam and his guests
she began with a great show of
righteous wrath: “Misther Chus
(hie) turn, wot did yet put (hie) in
thot malon? Ma ould mou (liic),
me ould man—me ould mon (hie),
ish down there yellin’ wid (hie)
1h’ jimjams! Oi want a know
whash yez put (hie) in thot—in
thot malon! Isb ut a joke (hie)—a
joke thot yez put up (hie) on uni?
Oi wanta know (hie)—”
The truth dawned upon Gus
tam. By reason of the melon lying
two days in one position the rum
and wine had all settled in the
lower end and he had given that
end to the janitor.
WUIVItiM ON STREET CARS.
Difference in Their Individual Con
duct Keeps the Conductor
Guessing.
“Ever watch how different wont
ensignal to have the ear stopped?”
asked the conductor, according tc
the Chicago Inter Ocean. “I don't
believe any two women do the
thing just the same way. There’s
the woman who begins to fidget
about four blocks before her cor
ner, and keeps us guessing as tc
where she wants to get off. And
then there’s the woman who be
gins to beg us every time we go
through the car not to carry her
past her corner. One woman tries
to be dignified and nods her head
so slight l v that unless you're look
ing close or straight at her you
don’t catch the signal at all. An
other woman stands up, fiourishea
her umbrella and then sits down
again. Some women work tbeii
Way to the door a full block before
we reach their corner, and others
wait till the car stops, and then
fall over themselves and every
body else in order to get out.
“One woman this morning
waved a handbag at me and
yelled: ‘Hi, yon! I want to get
off here.’ Another woman raised
one finger, and I could see her lips
moving. She was no doubt nam
ing the street, but I could not beai
that whisper the length of the car,
so I took it for granted that sh*
wanted to get off at next cor
ner. But she didn’t. She wanted
three blocks beyond. But the
woman who gets me is the one
who jerks my sleeve as I pass and
looks up as beseechingly as if she
thought I was just there to cany
her past.
“Some women—1 call ’em per
fect ladieR—say: ‘The next cor
ner, please,’ and then all the cheap
women in the car sneer at them a*
if they lowered themselves bj
saying ‘please’ to a cheap skatt
conductor.”
*N EASTERN CONVICT CAMP
^ne in Massachusetts Intended by
the State for Minor
Offenders.
Mnssachusetts lias established
it convict camp in the liill country
near Rutland. It is a di tie rent
matter from the convict camps of
the south, however, and I lie occu
pants are not farmed out for
profit, as is the case in Florida and
some of the ot her states. The new
enterprise is undertaken by the
state itself and is intended to ex
ercise a reformatory function. It
is accessory to a farm. .Vo ex per
ieneed and hardened sinners are
taken to the place; on the con
trary, the idea is to establish it as
a camp for minor offenders, espe
cially for the intemperate who are
not lost to t he a pi>en Is of their bet
ter selves and who have sinned
i through weakness rather than
from intention.
It is said that the substitution
of air. sun. w holesome food and a.
measure of freedom from the iisii
'ul gloom, foulness, idleness aud
lack of care which characterize
jails and their keeping has
already shown beneficent results,
not merely in the physique of the
prisoners, which it is never the in
ter ’> of a state to harm, but upon
l in. moral nature.
In time a hundred convicts wilt
he kept at work at the Rutland
farm, their present employment
being chiefly concerned with re
deeming waste land; and its iso
lated position secures them
against a public scrutiny that is
inevitable in the south, where
streets are cleaned and much pub
'ic work is done by chain gangs.
PEARSON VS. HINDMAN.

er names on earth than mother *
and “wife.''
Uncle John says he has Pearson
treed. Well, we all know what,
that means. Old Tiff6* our °W
| dog, used to jro out and bark up ;u
tree with so much energy we were
sure he had something treed, but
he never treed a thing in his lifa;.
so we become acquainted with
tricks, and instead of going to him
we would say, “\Yell, lige is mis

Now, in some future article 1
intend to show positively, by Ciod’s;
own testimony, that lie has never
formed a coalition with any in
fluence to use any kind of intoxi
cant to favor or curse any people*
but that He condemns its use.
