this style;
"Mr. Speaker Mr.. Speaker! l say,
MIR. Speaker! Confound the measly

to catch the speakers eye. He don't

you see me do you, you shackle-

call the attention of this house through,
you to the irresistible and self-evident
proposition that the gentleman who
has just completed a long and disgust
ingly vulgar and uncalled for address
to this house, is a white-livered whelp
from away back, man who would
lie when the truth wouldn't convict
him half so quick, and who is so ut.

Bill Arp Talks of Boys and Trades.

I believe in these schools where boys
can learn trades. Peter the Great omit
his throne and went to learn how to
build ship, and he learned from stem
to stern, from hull to mast, and that
was the beginning of his greatness. l
know young man who was poor and
smart, and a friend sent him to one of
these schools up north, and he stayed
two years and came back as a mining
engineer and q bridge builder, and last
wear he planned and built cotton fac
tory and is getting large salary. How
many college boys are there III Geor-
gia who can tell what kind of native
timber will bear the heaviest burdens,
or why YOU take white oak for one part
of a wagon and ash for another, or what
timber will last longest under water
and what out of water. How many
know sandstone from limestone or
iron from manganese. How many
know how to cut a rafter or a brace
without a pattern. How many know
which turns the fastest, the top OF the
wheel or the bottom, as the wagon
rneves along the ground. How many
know how steel is made and Low snake
can climb tree.
How many know that horse gets up
before and COW gets up behind ane
the COW eats grass from her, and thd
horse eats to him. How many know
that a surveyors mark on tree never
gets any higher from the ground. or
what tree bears fruit without bloom.
There is a power OF comfort in
knowledge, but boy Is not going to
get II unless he want II bad, and that
E the trouble with most college boys,
thew don't want It. They are too busy,
and haven't got time. There Is more
hone OF a dull boy WHO wants knOwl-
edge. than Of q genius. for q genius gen
erallv knows It all without study

Some Parliamentary Rules.
Texas Siftings.

Never kick man when he is down.
1t tends to create confusion, breeds
animosity and muses. up the floor.
The better way is to let your oppo-
nent up to his feet, get him headed
toward the front door and shoot him
in the back just as he is going out.
Never pull your coat off hastily in
the heat of argument and throw it on
the floor. You are liable to break the
bottle in the pocket. In rising to a
question of privilege, pass your re-
volver to a man sitting on your left
in order to show that you intend to
take no undue advantage. A motion
to table the chairman and pound him
into proper sense of his true position
and what is due the convention is al
ways in order.
A motion to put out the lights is
the same as to adjourn, and, conse-
quently, always in order. With the
lights out, obnoxious resolutions
caH be secretly destroyed, bills
stolen for alteration, and heads put on
different members of the opposition.
Never play football with the chap
lain's hat when he rises to open the
proceedings with prayer. Remember
be is not a member of your body, but
appears merely er necessitate, IN a
purely ministerial capacity, the same
as he would visit any other set Of can
ibalistic heather, and in the same mis-.
sionaTy spirit. If he pours any oil
on the troubled waters, remember he
may have saved a life for that day,
and give him due credit. A chaplain
Is always an important adjunct to a
vel regulated penitentiary.
When you have decided 70 call an
other member a liar, remember that
you must do i. by proxy, that IS,
through the proper channel, which is
the chairman, or speakerof the house.

BEAR AND DOG.
sensational Battle With an Unexpected Termin

alton.
well-known gentleman OF Little
pnck purchased an enormous black
pssr. A friend who heard of the
p~rchase went to the colonel-of
ptonrse he was a colonel-and said:
AZ hear that you've got the biggest
hear in the country"
SCOT o whale, let me tell YOU"
swell, I'll tell you what l want. I've
mt the finest bull dog in the south. I
ave hundred dollars for him the
Ether day. and up to this time he has
wh;nped two bears. I want him to
6ght your bear"
'"I don't believe he could whip
him."
"Yes he can. A large bull dog can
whip bear any time. I'll bring him
over tomorrow"
Next day the gentleman and the
dop called on the colonel and the bear.
The bear was chained to tree in a
Grove, and when the dog saw him he
wanted to eat him without further
ceremony.
Here" said the colonel, 81 don !
want the bear to get away after he
chews the head off your dog, SO you'll
have to hold one end of the chain"
BLAMED if I do. I'll tell you what.
Tie the dog to one end of the chain
and let the bear take care of the other
end"
This was agreed upon, and the dog
was soon Juggling at his end of the
line, anxious to open the engagement.
The bear whined and looked far away.
It was evident that he didn't relish
the coming performance. When
everything was ready the dog was lib
Grated. He darted at the bear and
grabbed him by the ham. The bear
shook him off, but instead of resent
ing the insult, he turned and began to
climb a tree, dragging the dog after
him. He went tout on limb, and
before the colonel and the gentleman
could realize the turn of affairs the
dog was suspended ten feet from the
ground.
"Why, d-n his fool soul, he'll
kill my dog" howled the gentleman.
81 reckon he will, the colonel re-
piled.
The bear lay stretched out on the
limb looking down at the dog, whose
struggles were becoming weaker.
Climb up the tree, colonel, and
take the chain from the bears neck. +"
mo, I'd rather not. Don't like the
way he looks at the dog. Suppose
you go up"
Blamed if do. 1 wouldn't take
q hundred dollars for that dog. The
bears afraid of him, don'tyou think?"
Shouldn't wonder, as he seems to
be keeping out of the dogs way"
By this time the dogs tongue was
hanging out, and it was plain to be
seen that he was dead. After a while
the bear came down, smelled of the
dog, whined, sat down and looked far
away.
