A Father Who Is Funny When They
Have Company.
tBiu Mai

lBill Nye.l
"Children and fools tell the truth, !"
l have heard, and certainly children
have a faculty OF working the truth
In at the wrong time. Truth Is a
good thing-in its place. But the
great harm comes from using It at an
inopportune time. j am the only
and original father Of one OF the class
of children who are loquacious and
truthful In a way that makes the
parent heart bleed sometimes. II
this little Incident did not happen to
make me its victim would scorn to
tell 1t, for people ought not to make
themselves or their children too con-
spicuously smart in print.
Guests were invited to dinner, and
while In my baronial hall the welkln
rang and the cold baked bean was
passed around amid joyous laughter,
and witty remarks rang out on the
warm aIr-while gorgeous fiagons
and glittering cut glass and silver Of
a nelghbor shoneresplendent beneath
the mellow light Of the chandelier
and candelabR, the humble writer
OF these lines, as the host, would ever
and anon makeia brilliant remark,
which would be received with wild
and tumultuOus applause.
A few weeks ago, on an occasion
Of this kind, a cousin Of mine, a
young lawyer connected with the
Omaha road and substantial justice.
at so much a year and travelling ex-
penses, was present.
had just said something smart to
keep the keep the company good ma
tured while asked a young lady at
the other end Of tho table to please
return the duck which had inad-
vertently presented to her with the
carving-fork stuck in it. Every one
was laughing joyously, and trying to
conceal It by putting their napkins
In their mouths, when my cousin
turned to my little daughter and
said:
''Bessie, haYen't you got a funny
papa, thOughf'
"Yes, indeed" said :the ungrate-
full, untilial and irreverent heir-ap-
parent to great name. "You better
believe he's funny
when we have company"
And yet people wonder why l am
not the genial host that 1 used to be,
and why the children do not eat at
the iirst table, and why there Is a
sound on kicking aRainst the door Of
an adjoining room, and the occasional
wall Of a hungry child as the meal
progresses.
Ell Perkins once told me that he
was teaching his little girl to tell the
truth. asked him who he en-
ployed to attend to the irksOme task,
and whether he was not nash to take
up branch Of the science for which
there was getting to be so little use.
1t Is said that truth is mighty and
will prevail. 1t Is certainly mighty
In the mouth Of a child. Still, we
may always expect more or less Of It
from children, until they get to NOV
ing in good society and learn better.

some one dropped upou Kearnev,s
plans in New York. Concluding
his narrative Phelan said he was
finally permitted to leave Liverpool. When
he arrived at Glasgow he found his valises
had been broken open, and searched, done
he thought, by man who introduced him
self in Edinburg as James Powers, and
whom Phelan believed was a British dctec.
tive who had Swallowed him from New York
and endeavored to get into his confidence.
Kearney had today very low, but Phelan
succeeded finally in getting him off to Eng
land by Disgusting himself as Kearney, and
throwing the detectives off the track.
''What, asked the reporter was Kearney's
object in attempting to blow up the stea-
merl'
''Oh, just to get up some excitement, and
scare England little,'' was the reply.
The captain also described the mechanism
of the deadly battery. The machine
is simple but works with fatal
precision. 1t consists of reservoir Of
acid which dips upon tube enveloped in
sheets of tissue paper. It takes a minute for
the acid to eat through each sheet of paper.
In this case 1910 sheets were wrapped around
the tube. When the last sheet is eaten
through the acid turns down the tube, and
upon the percussion cap beneath and then
there is an explosion. The machine is noise
less and almost infalIible in its working a ter
rible injury. Speaking Of himself the cap
taid said he was a dynamiter out and out, be-
longs to the Irish national society and was
obedient to their call, having participated in
many of their plans for terrurizing the Eng
fish government. He determined to return
to Liverpool and save the queen, in order to
protect the lives of hundreds Of people who
would sail on the nextvoyage, many OF these
his own countrymen-men, women and
children going to JOIN friends in America.
