Be Very Popular Among Us. The Englishman is John Bill], the Ir- ishman is Pat or Paddy, he Scotch, man is Sandy or Sawney, the V'Velshman is David, the Frenchman is Jean Cra- paud or Micaire, the German is Cousin Michael, the Swiss is Colin Tampon. the Jew is Sheeny, and the American is Brother Jonathan. There is a nickname for the people of almost every country on earth. It is a singular circumstance that, while John is a popular prenomen in England, and Patrick in Ireland, and David in Wales, and Jean in France, and Michael in Germany, the name of Jonathan has never become popular in the United States. All that is necessary to give any one evidence of this statement is that he shall examine the directory of the city of New York from beginning to end, or shall look through the directories printed in Philadelphia. Boston, New Orleans, Chicago, Brooklyn, Jersey City, San Francisco, or any other American city. He may see Jonathan once in awhile, as he turns over the leaves of the book; but he may go through ten or twenty pages Without seeing it even once. Pat-rickis on every page of a Dublin directory, as ‘ John is on every page of an English di~ rectory; but as for the name of Jona- than, it is seen about as often in an Eng- lish as in an American directory. It is possible that one reason for the unpopu— larity of the name with fathers and mothers lies in the fact that Brother Jonathan is always pictured as a very grotesque and unattractive personage, costumed in a. ridiculous fashion, and calculated to raise laughter rather than command respect. John Bull is always pictured as a solid business personage; Brother Jona- than is depicted as a circus clown. It is a wonder that no American art- iSt has ever drawn a worthy figure of the great and mighty and majestic Bro- ther Jonathan, one that would be char- acteristic, significant and impressive, without too marked a violation of the traditions that are associated with the name. It cannot be said that the “Un- cle Sam” of the picture makers is any better than the Brother Jonathan. Paid the 1 ugh-rises. A good story is told of a well-known Hartford landlord who has been having any amount of trouble during the hard times to collect rents from his tenants. There was a certain man with a large family who had occupied a part of one of his houses in the surourbs for a. num- ber of years. The man was thoroughly honest but down on his luck. The landlord bore the loss of his rent with considerable fortitude until he thought it was some one else’s turn to help the fellow a little; then he went to him one day and told him with all seriousness that he intended to give the housea going over; it was out of repair and he hail decided to expend a. little money on it. :tul make some im- portantalterations. and. 1.: woul'lbe some expense for the manic move, he generously offered to order a team for him and settle the bill himself. The matter was arranged with the utmost friendliness on both sides, and the landlord went his way feeling quite a little like the celebrate l‘Phsrisce. A Week later he asked his agent about some flats that had been empty for a month or tyvo. “All rented," said the agent, and he named the parties, whereupon the land- lord immediately descended on the plane of public’ans and sinners. When he had recovered himself sufficiently to talk English, he proceeded to inform the astonished agent that one of his ac- quisitions was the man who had just moved at his own expense out .of the house in the suburbs. H. Precantlon All Around. A carpenter, sent to make some re- pairs ina private house. entered the apartment of the lady of the house with his apprentice. ' ”Mary,” the lady called to her ser- vant, “see that my jewel case is locked at once.” ' The carpenter understood. He re- moved his watch and chain from his vest with a. significant air and have them to his apprentice. . "John.” he said. ”take, these right back to the shop.

A man with a ticket to Atlantic City. and a cosmopolitan air alighted from the train from the East. and after breakfast sauntered to the ofice of the ticket sel- ler and asked for a ticket to Oklahoma. In reply to the question what particular part of the land of bandits and sand storms he desired to visit. he replied that it. made no particular diflerence to him. and he then remarked to the ticket seller: “I am from New York, seeking a di- vorce; one of the while-you—wait—and without-pain kind. so you’.wi’ll please ticket me to some quiet point where the divorce mill always grinds and never 4 tires,.and I will try and do the rest.” He was billed through to Oklahoma l city, because that poii; would give the railroad the longest haul and the most money. The journeyings of divorce seekers to Oklahoma is simply astonishing. On the through trains are to be found numerous passengers who are silent and indifier- cut to all local surroundings. No valley with its beautiful landscape, no vast area of fine crops, no dreary stretch of parched prairie, not even the creeping caravan of Pottawatomies journeying from Topeka to their Terri- tory reservation, or even the usually at- tractive prairie dog towns can interest them. Few of them are found in the condition of the one described above, as most of them take their bearings before they leave the East. A member of a legal firm. having one member in each of the three largest towns in the territory, says that his firm would at the present rate collect $25,000 this year from divorce clients alone. In Guthrie there is a large hotel which makes a specialty of this class of pa-- trons, and its guests are designated as the divorce colony. Special hotel rates are Secured by the lawyers for their clients for the four weeks necessary to the quick and pain- less operation of divorce. Many of these visitors are registered under assumed names, and are credited to almost any other city than the one in which they reside. MAN WITH HOPES. Be Might Be Poor, but at Least He “'35 Not a Pesslmlst. Near midnight the other night I sat down in City Hall Park a” minute be- fore tackling the long flight of steps to the Brooklyn Bridge. and I hadn‘t drawn half a dozen breaths before a chap came oyer from another bench and “struck” me for a dime. After I had given it to him I said: “You must go hungry at least half the time?" ' “Yes, sir.” “And you seldom sleep in a bed?” “Very seldom.” “And your clothes are badly out at the elbows?” “I need a new suit, sir.” “On the whole, you haven’t much to live for, I take it? ' ”Not very much. sir, and if it wasn’t for my hopes I’d take a header into the river.” “What hopes have you?" “Well, sir, I’ll put your ten with forty cents more and play the races to- morrow, and if I win I’ll sit down toa champagne supper, take in the theater and buy myself a box of clear Havana cigars. That’s what I hope for, sir, and I thank you, and good night.” I yelled at him to come back with my dime, but he vanished in the gloom in the direction of Broadway, and a police— man came along and ordered me to shut up.—Detroit Free Press. A Scorns His Own Appolntments. Mayor Lebkuecher, of Newark, has changed his mind about the Board of Health be appointed soon after going into office. He says now that he knew nothing about the men be appointed and had no opporttmity of investigation, but it was not long before he found out the true condition of affairs. “I then spoke to some of the members of the board and told them that under the circumstances I thought they were in honor bound to haul the appoint- ments back to me. . “But they are not that kind of men. They are political tricksters who take no care of ‘he‘ city's health. but look after their own selfish interests. They have a lot of inspectors who are of no use to the city. These men are incom- petent, and about all they do is messen- ger work and drawing salaries.” A Georgia Romance. The marriage of Stonmore Brooks Townes, a prominent young lawyer, and Miss Fannie Rosa Atkinson is the cul- mination of a romance. Miss Atkinson was deeded to Mr. Townes when she was one year old and he was two. Their par- ents were close friends, and the mother of the little girl so loved the little boy that she made a formal gift in writing of her child to him. .-, The families separated shortly after this. It was not until Townes was 20 that he saw the charming Miss Atkin son. gift of eighteen years before, he fell in love with the young woman. He was then a. student of Columbia College. After graduation he came to Atlanta. She in the mean time had come here to teach school. When he heard of the deed of gift he declared that he was going to hold her to it, and the mother who had written it was present at the wedding which came as a fulfill- ment of her peculiar prediction.
