not tell lie. The cat died Of small
pox." What lesson is here for the
youth. Let us inculcate into the
minds of the young a habit OF being
truthful. He was a brick, George
was. He never knew what it was to
stow away schooner of beer, and
history makes no mention that he
ever, on any occasion, ate Limburger
cheese; at least no mention was made
of it in his farewell address. 1t may
be noticed that thus far | have made
no allusion to the great American
eagle, the National trademark, pat
ent applied for; but it is not that |
do not appreciate the position that
species of poultry occupies on these
occasions. The poet says of the ca
gle: "Bird of the broad and feet
ing wings, thy home is high in heav-
en-" The committee that selected the
eagle as National emblem, should
have been arrested for disorderly
conduct; you live on mice, you great
bird, you emblem Of freedom, you
representative of the land of the free
and the home of the brave; you
swoop down on the fields, and crush
your talons in the flesh of the little
lamb, and take him to your home in
Hog'em! You bald-headed old rep
robate!! You look well on parade,
but you are coward and eat snakes!!
Fellow II. T.'s, the bird that should
have been selected as the emblem of
our country, the bird Of patience,
forbearance, perseverance, and the
bird of terror, is the mule. There is
no bird that covers more virtues to
the square foot than the mule. We
are nation of accomplishing, hard
workers; we mean to do the fair thing
by everybody; we plod along, dong
as we would be done by. So does
the mule. AS nation, we occusion-
ally stick out our ears and fan the
flies off our forehead. So does the
mule. We allow parties to get on
and ride as long as they behave them
selves. So does the mule; but when
any nation sticks spurs into our TANKS
and tickles our heels with straw, we
come down stiff-legged in front; our
ears look to the beautiful beyond;
our voice is cut loose, and is still for
war, and our subsequent ends play
the snare drum on anything that gets
within reach of us, and strikes terror
to the hearts of all tyrants. So does
the mule. When the country gets
older, and Congress gets time to get
in its work, the eagle will be super
ceded as the national trademark and
in its place will arise the mule in all
his glory, and E Pluribus unum, our
motto, will be changed to u pluribus
mulum, sic distemper alapacca...

WILKERSON'S ECCENTRIC1TIE
An Absent-Minded Statesman of the
Northwest.

NOftnWcSt.
Washington Letter.
Ex-senator Wilkerson, who once rep
resented Minnesota in the United States
Senate, is at the front just now in the
race for district attorney in that state.
Wilkerson is a man of good deal of
ability, but a very absent-minded and
not especially practicable person.
An incident is related here, showing
his lack of method in regard to his per-
sonal business affairs. One day during
a friend called on him at his room and
found him engaged pouring over some
late books, or some occupation OF
this sort. In a corner of the room was
about a bushel of unopened and unan-
swered letters.
"What does all this mean?' he said.
''You are not letting these letters go un-
answered, are you?"
"Oh," said Wilkerson, in a tired sort
of a way, "they are too many for me. /
don't want to be bothered with them.
They are all about offices that / can't get
filled, and | can't give one in fifty of
these people what they want"
"Well. that will never do. You must
answer your letters at least"
well" said Wilkerson, in a helpless
sort of way, chow can 1? See what
heap there is of Them
"Of course there is, which is all the
more reason why you should answer
them. Send out and get your steno-
grapher and go to work and answer
them"
Wilkerson obeyed, somewhat grum-
blingly, and when the stenOgrapher
came pointed to the letters.
''There they are. answer Them" he
said.
well, you will have to dictate the
answers, of course. This man won't
know what to say in answer 20 the let
ters."
''Oh. never mind about that. Let him
answer them to suit himself. 1t don't
make any difference what he says in the
answers so he don't bother me about it,
said Wilkerson, with an air of annoy
ance.
Another incident is related showing
his absent t-mindedness in regard to finan-
cial affairs. One day he went to friend |
asking him to loan him $1,000.
II haven't got it, but if you really /
need it, senator, | will get it for you,"
said the friend.
"Yes, do need it, right away. l
wish you would get it for me-" said Will
kerson.
SO his friend set out to borrow the
money at one os the banks. In the
course of the transaction he remarked
hat he was getting it for Senator Will
1erson.
"Why, that is odd," said the bank Of
iclal, "Wilkerson has an account here
md has about $4,000 to his credit now.
Don't you think there is some mistake
about it,
''Ill see" said the friend, as he hur
led off to find WiIkerson.
Chow is this. SENATOR" he said, rather
''they say over at the bank
hat you have got So, 500 there now"
II guess not" said Wilkersor, with a
title surprise Il didn't know l had
my money in bank Must be some mis-
axe about it,"
''Well, they would hardly be likely to
make any such mistake at the bank.
4ool6 up your account and see," said his
riend.
So the senator went fishing among the
lusty pigeon holes and piles of papers
until he found his bank account, when,
o his delight and that of his friend,
here stood 50, 500 to his credit.
