The Words That Won.
In London one of the weekly papers
offered a prize for the best list of
strong: words to number ten. The an-
nouncement speciOeJ that but ten
words would be considered from any
one person and a committee of literary
men would select from the numbers
offered the ten strongest words in the
English language.
These are the words that won: Hate
blood hungry dawn coming gone
love dead alone forever.
Do you think of any stronger fuller

ROTTEN COTTON GLOVES.
The Origin of a One Time Popular
Slang Phrase.
The orkvin of "rotten cotton gloves."
a phrase which for some years be-
longed lo the slang of England and
America. Is worth relating. At a time
when John le Hay was playing at the
Prince of Wales lie was 'command-
ed" to give his ventriloquial perform-
ance at a birthday entertainment at
Sahdrlngham.
His two figures the usual squeaky
eld lady and the usual rude old man.
had been newly dressed for the occa-
sion that their clothes might not suf-
fer too keenly by comparison with the
rich surroundings. But when Mr. le
Hay had placed them In position and
was about to begin his "show" he
found to his disgust that his costumer
had forgotten to change the old man'-s
dirty cotton gloves for a pair of new
kids.
The tone f shabblness this gave to
the male figure was too conspicuous
to be ignored by poor Mr. le Hay ar.d
i in an eternal half minute his quick
wit for.nd a wr.y .'tit of the trouble for
him.
"A nice thin.".' remarked the mai
doll looking a tumid at the royal auo?-
ence with alarm "bringing -me to :i
swell house like this in these terrible
gloves!"
Tlus caused so much amusemet
that" the ventriloouist divided to nr. .
mor - f the "wheeze." and the bad!-
beliavcd old gentleman's incessant
grumble throughout the entertain-
ment "rotten cotton gloves" proved
one of the chief successes of the even-
ing. The "line" was in all Mr. le Hay's
subsequent performances in America
as well a in Eugland. and if. ay. a
man had had a bad deal in Wall street
tr In Thromwrton avenue it -was the
usual thin? to say that he had a "rot-
ten .cotton deal." London M. A. P.
A Bad Change.
While uoldhi! a term of court a
Augus'a on e Judge Walton sentenced
a man to seven years in prison for a
srnave crime. The respondent's coun-
sel asked for a mitigation of the sen-
tence on the ground that the prison-
er's health was -very poor. "Your
honor." said he. "I am satisfied t ha;
my client cannot live out half'thn
term and I beg of you to change the
sentence." "Well under those circum-
stances." said the judge. "I wP
change the sentence. I will make it
for life Instead of seven years." It. I

HE GOT BIG PAY.
An African Salary That Conmanded
Respect and Obedience.
Makuba and Oblanga were two Afri-
cans the one the captain of a boat
.rew and the other ;ub--rdlnato to him
Oblnnga was an indepcml;nt fellow
not in the least lazy who rather re
sentcd "bossing." Iii' a book entitled
"The Jungle Folk of Africa" It II.
Milligan tells of an altercation be-
tween the two men. Ah.ku'm. the din
lotnatic. i-anie out f it with Hying col
nrs.
The worst disputes between MakuV-
and. Oblanga took place when they sut-
posed that 1 was asleep. The native-
when he Hs down anywhere sleeps
Immediately Whei'.evcr 1 was lying
in the bottom "f the boat they always
t!)-;jgbt I was raiconscious and that no
ouceivsible nob e could waken me.
Captain Makuba orders Oblnnga to
"haul awav on the peak halyards." to
which Obiapga promptly replies:
"Do it yourself."
"I won't do it: yon will do it!" says
Makuba in a threatening tone.
"Are you my father?" says Oblanga.
"No." answers Makuba with infinite
scorn. "How could a Kombi man be
the father of a creature like you?"
"Then stop giving me orders!" says
Oblangn with rising wrath. "It is not
the first time you have tried it and
one of these days you will find out
that it won't do."
"One of these days you will find out
that I am captain of this boat and that
you will have to obey me; says Ma-
kuba. "Not as long as I carry a gun" an-
swers Obliinga.
By this time they are standing up
and looking hard at each other. Rut
Makuba would not think of striking a
man in a mission boat He therefore
becomes diplomatic. Suddenly in a
tone altogether different he says:
"Oblangn the trouble with you is
that you are just n bushman. You
don't know anything about civiliza-
tion. On every big ocean steamer
there is a captain and every man on
board no matter what tribe ho be-
longs to obeys the captain."
Oblanga becomes instantly curious
and asks "Is he rich?"
"Yes." says Makuba; "he gets big
pny nnd so do I get big pay."
"How much do you get Makuba?"
"How much do you think?"
Oblanga thinks as well as he knows
how his countenance distorted with
the effort and at length answers re-
flectively "Two dollars a month." ne
himself gets a dollar and a half.
A broad smile engages Makubn's
features as lie slowly nnswers. "Five
dollars a month."
Oblanga gives expression to his sur-
prise in a long low whistle it is
quite evident to him that no ordinary
person could .command such wages
and in a tone of utmost compliance he.
sajs: "Wlnt.wa-s U you told me to do.
Makuba? I forget."
"I .forget too" says Makhb.'.. "Oh.

"that there were two colored preach-

If I remember aright both were sen-
tenced for polygamy "but old Sam was
A Methodist parson while old Jake
was of the Haptlst faith. It seems
that Sam had done something to great-
ly offend the warden nnd the punish-
ment decided on was an old fashioned
lashing. Some weeks after the affair
came off the Itev. Sam whom I had
known from Ijoj hood was telling me
about it.
" 'I didn't mind de wliippin so

gwine to whip you and 'low de whip-

I's gwine to let old Jake pray fer you
and de blows will continue to fall on
your black hide while Jake's pra'r is

stop den de punishment will likewise

have beard my grandmother fell the
story of one dame who much scandal-
ized tho church people on oue never to
be forgotten occasion. People who
went early to churcli were surprised
one Sabbath morning to see Aunt Bet-
sy sifting away up in front gray yarn
stockings in ber hands and her knit-
ting needles clicking merrily away as
she worked. The minister stopped in
surprise as he passed her on his way
to the pulpit but the old lady was not
one whit disturbed by his disapprov-
ing air. Smiling serenely she said
complacently: 'Thought I'd knit a
stitch while the people are gathering.
I never was one to waste a minute
eider.' And the good dame continued
to click her needles while the horrified
minister hastened to- his de3k. Not
tlU he began his sermon did Aunt Bet-
sy lay aside her Sunday knitting
