DICK PH0MPSON'S THEORY OF THE
NORTH POLE.


Old Uncle Dick, of the Wabash Valley,
Now Richard Thompson, OF Washington,
Has accumulated gradually
Some facts about the earth and sun.
lie says that the hardy nayigators
Who daringly strive to strike the Pole
Are all suuh amazing bad calculators
They never can possibly reach the goal.
His theory beats 'em, he says, all boiler;
In winter the sun goes South, as we know:
The Pole, by attraction is forced to IOller,
Which accounts for the mercury's getting low.
The more the cold weather upon us encroaches
And the keener the winds from the north ard cut,
The closer, we see the North Pole approaches
To us-say, for instance to Terre Haute.
Tharfore, Uncle Dick declares the conclusion
Is plain as Counsellor Evarts nose,
Or even as plain as the fearful obtrusion
OF Leo the Thirteenths terrible toes.
1t follers, and nothing on airth can be clearer,
In spite OF SdUdntS and their pTOftless fuss,
That when we to the Pole are cOnsd' rably nearer,
The Pole is considerably nearer to us.
Thus winters the time for the expiration, T.
The Wabash Canals the legitimate route.
And Congress should vote an appropriation
To enlarge the canal and clean it out.
rhe Pole once found, Uncle Dick proposes,
BY "scotching' it there in its place. il appears
To beneht greatly our tender noses,
Likewise our fingers and toes and ears,
When the Pole no more can msve to the southland,
This mighty achievement will be complete;
No more by cold weather will we be bothered
And then we can double our crops of wheat.

There is a sort Of mania, at least in fash
lonable circles, in this country, to initiate
the French. When some nabob in society
gives dinner party the bills of fare must
be printed in French, as though it gave a
tone to the affair that would be lacking
were the bills printed in the Kings Eng
fish. For example, at Washington, the
other day, Judge Otto gave a swell dinner
to few of his friends in official life, and

The Good Reporter.


A good reporter is always first cousin to
a necromancer, and can introduce himself
to you in such n genial way that for the
time being he seems like your long lost
brother, who Is anxious to show you the
strawberry mark on his left arm in proof of
his identity. You talk with him about the
inner secrets of your life in profuse sort
of way, give him your opinions about the
resumption of specie payment, and as the
conversation flows. freely unfold yourself
on various other matters He sis a silent
and admiring listener, encouraging you by
nod when you are hunting for the right
word, or possibly supplying it himself, aud
gives you the impression that he wouldn't
disclose what you have told told him-no,
not for worlds on worlds, The next day
you take up the paper and while carelessly
looking over its columns see your own name
in capitals which seem to your astonished
gaze as long as Bunker Hill Monument.
Every word you have said is there. That
man with the strawberry mark on his left
arm was the small end of speaking trum
pet through which you have unconsciously
told the world all about yourself. He had
no pencil nor paper and didn't evince any
desire to write in short hand. Oh no, that !
is the clumsy way in which beginners work,
His skill is not in his fnger-tips, but in his
memory He memorized every word you
said and reproduced it with perfect accura-
cy. The accomplished reporter is as near
ly ubiquitous as a merely human being ever
becomes, and is beginning to be regarded
as moral restraint, in many respects SUI
perior to the Decalogue. A man in the
olden time might possibly break the Deca-
ogue and hide the pieces, but nowadays
he moment a law is broken the quick ears
If reporter catches the sound and his
persuasive lips compel You to tell you all
bout it. He is an animated interrogation
,oint; human corkscrew, who gets
eeper hold on your secret every time he
urns around. His mission is summed up
n the short but terrible sentence, ''If you
o it, I'll tell" What religion can't do the
ear of the reporter will accomplish.

Thomas Carlyle was IS years old on the
4th of December last. He received numer-
GUS presents, and many of his friends call
ed to pay personally their congratulations.
The visitors he did not see owing to his

the best authority that Mr.. Carlyle's health
is excellent, and that there is reason TO hone

that was not earned by him. He was
elected to the UnitedStates Senate in Jan
uary, 1876, but he was not admitted to his
seat until December, 1917 He was then
informed that he was entitled to his salary
from 1873, from that year until 1877, one
seat from Louisiana having been vacant.
He declined to accept the back pay. by
