DIsgraceful Encounter.

Yeste rday Jim Webster met Par
son Bledso, of the Blue Light
Colored Tabernacle, on Galveston
avenue, and the result was a per.
sonsl difficulty. 1t required two
policemen to separate the combat
ants. 1t began as follows:

man, "I wants to talk wild yer.
Yer steals chickens; yer takes de
name OBJ de Lord in vain; you

What's yer gwine to say in dat
great day when all men shell be
jedged for de deeds done in de
hesh?u
"Dat ar don't bodder me, ef what
I've heerd you say is kerrect,"
responded Jim, sullenly.
"What did l tole yer?"
eyer said dar was gwine to be
one Judgement day"
"Jess so, Jeems. Dars gwine to
be one awful day OBJ reckonin'."
"And ebery body is to be tried on
dat one day for ebery rascality and
wickedness dey has committed
while on de yarf?" asked Jim.
"Perzackly so, Jeems."
"Dar's only gwine to be one day ?
Is yer shuah about dat ar. pint OBJ

"Only one day OBJ Judgment,
Jeems; but dar am eternity behind

"Den rs all safe. don't keer a

whats yer relyin' on to 'pease

Bledso.

Just then the clerical umbrella
descended on Jim's head, and he
received violent kick in the alb.
domen. They clinched, but are
now at large, under bond. .--NeWs.

AIimentation by Absorption.

"5ay?"
"Yes, sir"
II want to give you some partic.
ulars about remarkable woman
and a remarkable family. This is
the Leader office, amt it? Well,
thought so. You know the other
day the telegraph reports gave an
account of q woman in Michigan
who hasn't eaten anything since
last October, and that when she
gets hungry she simply takes O
beef.tea bath and is all right.
Prompted by curiosity to see this
remarkable woman, L went to
Michigan and called on her. L
asked her if it was true that she
had ceased eaIing, and she replied
that not only herself but her hus-
band and little boy had given
it up.o
"Why did you stop?'
"'Ob, WE'LL she replied, I'VE had
all been great eaters, and found
that our stomachs had given out.
See that thing hanging up there?'
pointing to something that looked
like an old hemp towel, well, that
Is my husbands stomach. See all
those holes In 1t? They were
caused by eating too much
"'How did he get 1t out?' I
asked.

Length Of the Mississippi.

Mark Twain mourns over the di.
minished length Of the Mississippi
in this strain: Therefore, the Mis-
sissIppi between Cairo and New
Orleans was 1850 miles long 176
years ago. 1t was 11S0 after the
cutoff of 1922. 1t was 1040 after
the American Bend CUTOFF some
years ago. 1t has lost 67 miles
since. Consequently its length is
only 973 miles at present. Now, If
1 wanted to be one of those scien.
tific people, and to prove what had
occurred in q given time in the re-
cent past, or what will occur in the
far future by what has occurred in
late years, what an opportunity is
here! Geology never had such q
chance, nor such exact data to ar.
que from! Nor development of
species, either.
Glacial epochs are great things,
but they are vague-vague. Please
observe. In the space of 176 years
the lower Mississippi has shortened
itself 242 miles. That is an average
of q trifie over one mile and o third
per year. Therefore, any calm
person, who is net blind or idiotic,
can see in the old Oolitic Silurian
period just 1000, 900 years ago next
November, the lower Mississippi
was upwards Of 100000 miles
long, and stuck out over the Gulf
of Mexico like fishing rod. And,
by the same token, any person can
see that 742 years from now the
Mississippi will be only mile and
quarter long, and Cairo and New
Orleans will have joined their
streets together, and be plodding
comfortably along under a single
Mayor and mutual board of AL.

cinating about science. One gets

THE United States Is either to.
day, or Is very likely soon to be-
come, the first trading and fnan-
cial nation Of the world. We have
got our productive industries in
such a shape that, with our unrl-
vailed resources of crude material,
and our unquestioned ingenuity in
the manipulation Of all staples, we
are now ready to challenge Eng
land in all the marts Of the globe.
As to everything in which delicacy
and finesse enters We are now far
ahead of England. If the tariff
were abolished Tomorrow, and our
manufacturers were compelled to
come down to the prices which
they could readily afford to stand
by, we should govern the markets
Of the world in iron, steel, cotton,
wool and silk, and all the products
referable to a prodigal abundance
of the crude materials of
commerce. Supplemental to
these facts, which are REIN
forced by a tremendous inter.
national balance of trade in our ia.
vor, based upon the cereals and
cotton, the United States is the
largest single producer of the pre-
eious metals now known on the foot.
stool. Our output of silver, which
is the medium Of the exchanges of
four lfths of the population Of the
globe, is notably large. The Mon.
etary Conference which is shortly
to meet In Europe will concern it.
self greatly with the problem of
the single and double standard.
The whole of Asia and most of the
European countries are accustom-
ed to use silver in their ordinary
transactions. This metal is, in
truth, the natural medium of ex-
change amongst the masses. Eng
land, however, having had hither-
to monopoly of gold coin, started
out to depreciate silver. She was
followed, in this short sighted pol.
icy, by Bismarck, the Prince of
Blood and Iron, whose ideas OF
finance are doubtless obscured by
the incessant clouds which emerge
from his mesrschaum. The
people of the United States
will expect, from the Messrs. VIM.
M. Evarts, Allen g. Thurman aud
Timothy .. Howe, the American
delegates to the Monetary Confer.
ence, an energetic ard eloquent de.
livery in that body in favor of the
bi-metallic currency. The most Or
dinary conception OF the duty Of
American patriots calls for this. In
assuming this attitude they will be
warmly supported by the French
auu Swiss delegates. Garmanv

PHILOSOPHERS.

Philosophers are men aud some-
times women who know how its ell
done but never do it,
Philosophers are sometimes those
who shot themselves up 10 libraries
and closets to study Nature out of
books.
Philosophers are sometimes reck'
Oned very wise F; yet not wise
enough to avoid dyspepsia.
Philosophers often grow old and
baldheaded at an early age. Can't
bear to have children about them
Not able, as q rule, to harness a
horse. Can't walk mile, and afraid
to eat after 8 o'clock in the evening.
Not of much account in corn or
potato field, but great in debating
club. Can't sail boat, but use
spectacles at 30. Learned in logic,
but not much help at a fire.
Some philosophers haven't known
over fifty acqusintances for the last
30 years. Out of which association
they study ell mankind and write
books about the human race.
Other philosophers are discomfort
ed with everything that is and would
be satisfied only with what isn't.
Then there are philosophers who
even fail to recognize when q man
or woman not talking philosophy at
all yet lives and practices it.
A woman philosopher after so,
wearing spectacles, unmarried and
run to seed, philosophicalIy is fear
ful thing to contemplate.
A balky horse ia more than a
match for any philosopher in these
United States.
Intellectually speaking, there are
no two worse swindled people after
marriage than when male aud fe>
male philosopher think they fall in
love and court and marry each 9th
or.
The progeny of philosophers,
when they have any, are rarely
philosophical on coming of age
They know how it is tbemselves.-

SOMETHING IN THE BED.

Judge Pitnam has habit of Slip
ping his watch undor bis pillow when
be goes to bed. One night, some>
how, it slipped down, as the Judge
was restless, it worked its way
down toward the foot of the bed -
After a bit, while be was lying
awake, his foot touched it; it fels
very cold /; he was surprised, scared
and jumping from the bed, he said ::
BY gracious, Maria, there's
toad or something under the covers !;
| touched it with my foot.
Mrs. Pitnsm gave a loud scream,
and was on the floor in an instant.
Now don't go to holIering and
waken up the neighbors, said the
Judge. You get me broom or
something, and we'll fix the thing
mighty quick.
Ms. Pitnam got the broom
and gave it to the Judge with the
remark that she felt as if snakes
we're creeping up and down her legs
aud back.
oh, nonsense, Maria Now turn
down the covers slowly while hold
the broom and bang it. Put a buck
ct of water alongside the bed so we
can shove it in and drown it.
Mrs. Pitnam fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The
Judge held the broom upIifted, and
as the black ribbon of the silver
watch was revealed, he cracked
away at it three or four times with
the broom, then he pushed the thing
off into the bucket. Then they took
the light to investigate the matter.
When the Judge saw what it was
he said
| might have known-it ia Just
like you women TO be screeohing aud
fussiug about nothing, Ito utterly

1t was you that mado the fuss,
not me, said Mrs, Pitnam.
You needn't try to put the blame
