A SMART young man asked gentleman
from Cape Cod, whats the difference
between you and CLAMP thinking that
the Cape Codger would say he didn't
know, and then the young man would
pity him for not being able to see any
difference between himself and clam
but the thing didn't work. The Codger
took the young man and brushed path
across the street with him, and then,
after crowding him into fish barrel and
yanking him out again, said: "a clam
wouldn't be playing with you this way.
That's the difference 'twixt me and a
clam
The young man had no more questions
to ask.

GARFIELD AND BOSS SHEPHERD

WASHINGTON, Aug ia former mem.
Der of the Board of Public Works gives
very interesting account of the De
Golyer case from the official standpoint.
Ihis member of the board says that not
orly was the De Golyer contract awarded
upon the request of Gen. Garfield, but
that this request was preferred before
Boss Shepherd only. Gen. Garfield
never appeared before the board at all.
No brief in the case was ever filed. At
one meeting of the board afterward this
member of the board protested against
the De Golyer contract.
1t will be remembered that there was
IN all contracts made with the Board of
Public Works a clause giving this board
authority to cancel the said contracts for
good and sufficient cause. This member
OF the board insisted that the contract
should be annuiled. Said he: "This
pavement is swindle from the beginning
to the end. 1t is absolutely worthless.
1t Is downright robbery to allow this
rotten contract to 60 any further"
ms was very severe language, and
naturally made sensation in the board
meeting. The whole affair was quieted.
however, b. few words from Boss
shepherd. oaiu he: "Gentlemen. il is
idle to discuss the merits of that contract
or pavement. 1t was given absolutely as
personal favor to Gen. Garfield. Heis
chairman of the House Committee ON
Appropriations. If that contract is an.
nulied we will have endless trouble in
getting new appropriations. Some will
fall utterly. We cannot afford to raise
our hands in this matter"
After this very plain talk from the
BOSS there was nothing more to be said.
The member of the board who related the
above incident is resident of this CITY
and will make affidavit to the above if
necessary.

TALE OF A TEXAS TARANTULA

G. d. Parham, messenger for the
Southern Express, is responsible for the
following story: While at Texarkana liz
the discharge of his duties, he purchased
some peaches of boy who was vending
them on the depot platform. They were
unusually large and fine, beng of the
clingstone order, and Mr.. Parham de-
voured the first one with great relish.
The second one was even more tooth
some, and, after removing all the meat
that was possible from the stone, he
placed the latter in his mouth while he
turned to attend to some duty. Several
times he felt something tickle the roof of
his mouth, and, when at leisure. again
be examined the stone carefully. Pro-
trudlng from one edge of it he discover
ed something that resembled spiders
leg, and, when touched with knife, it
gave evidence of life. Mr.. Parham call
ed to his side George Stanton, an Iron
Mountain engineer, and J. r. Martin,
agent for the Southern Express at Tex
arkana. The stone was carefully opened
with knife, and there, snugly imbedd-
ed, was centipede. 1t was in torpid
state at first, but the sunlight brought it
into full vigor in very few seconds, and
1t began to look around for place of
more safety. 1t was placed under hat

forced into its new glass prison and Sc
curely corked with the intention of bring

will, to kill his dangerous prisoner. 1t
