years. John Tyler, of Virginia, chosen
as vice president, became President, and

A SERIOUS JOKE.
ny MARGARET EYrrNoR.

A large and spIiGhtly cat, she walked
With lightsome steps the strand;
A youthful crab he slyly peeped
Out OF his house Of sand.
And. "Oh," he said, '.I'll do it sure!
How iol it will be!n
And clicked his claws like castancts,
He laughed 80 heartily.
And as Dame Puss wandered that way,r
He quickly upward sprang,
And nippcd the end of her long tail,
And closely to it cung.
While "I'm q clever crab, he cried,
..rhis Is the greatest fun
Was ever known on April First,
Since April FIRST begunm
Not one word said that cat, but ran
Most swiftly o'er the ground
Until, near by gray, old tree,
A gray, old stone she found;
And on this stone the crab she wh2cked,
With whacks but very few,
When suddenly his overcsat
OF shell split right in two.
Then with one paw she scoopcd him out,
And down her throat he went,
And DER his face there spread LOOK
OF deep, feline content.
And ale will laugh no more, she purTed.
Ellis joking days are past;
He little thought this April First
Would be his April last" -Go0f Chctr.

Major John r. Throckmorton was
buried in the family vault at Louisville
the other day. He died some time ago
in lonely hut on a Mississippi planta-
ton. His last moments were haunted by
the thought that Ellen Goodwin was
still shadowing him. For 25 years tue
woman followed him, and was known in
Louisville as Throckmorton ghost.
The reason for this was never known.
1t was the popular belief that Throck-
morton had wronged her in her youth.
In storm and sunshine, at home and
abroad, the silent figure in black hovered
about him and bhghted his life. She
died some years ago, and ordered the
history of her hear: secret buried with
her.

The late transit of Venus curiously
proved the accurate calculations of the
ancient makers of that famous horologi-
cal curiosity, the Strassburg clock. A
few days before the transit visitors to
the cathedral, inspecting in the planet
arium attached to the clock, noticed that
one of the gilt balls representing Venus
was gradually moving toward point
between the sun and the earth, and on
the day OF the passage the ball stood ex-
actly between them. Old Conrad Dasy-
podlus, the Strassburg Mathematician,
superintended the manufacture OF the
clock and its accompanying planetarium
sometime between 157l-74, the dates
differing according to various authorities;
and 1t is interesting to note that, after
3o0 years of existence, the clock faith
fully fuliills tie calculations OF its dead
inventor. Scientists doubt the story.

is a report that this attempt is TO be postponed or

It is thought that every Democrat who really de-

vote with the Republicans on Mr. Cannon's motion,
and that twensy to twenty-five votes

ranks. II this expectation is realized and the
Republicans can muster las votes of their OVID, the
motion will probably prevail.
An effort appears TO be making in some OF the
