SLANDERING SUNSET"
The Witty Congressman Charged
With Stealing His Original
Jokes.

OOkeSs
Sunset Cox has in former years, says
a Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Post-Dlspatch, enjoyed the Iepu-
tatiOn of being one of the wittiest, if
not the very wittiest men on the floor of
the house. True, there was always some
thing familiar about his witticiSims, and
one often felt the pleasure one expert
ences in meeting dear old friend well
disposed. Some one has been talking
out of school about Sunset. Persons
who passed by his house would often
see his Sweet-faced wife sitting by the
window of her room induStriouSly read
ing and clipping great bundles of books,
papers and pamphlets. Every one
imagined, of course, that the kindly Seere-
tary was reading the papers and clipping
from them what they said about Sunset;
and every one seeing her earneStneSS
felt in spirit with her glow of pleas
ure, appreciative words or indignation
at criticism. 1t is said, however, that
Mrs. Cox has always been reading every
paper, magazine or book for the sole pur-
pose of clipping out the jokes. Every
joke, however frail, she clipped out,
and then she pasted them i'll book
under appropriate headings. Every
bon mot, every witticism, even every
pun, however sickly, his indefatigable
helpmate arranged in its proper class.
Then the genial Sunset would read up
his jokes, not study them, by no means,
for he is too clever, too witty, too orig
inal for that; but he would
read these pleasantries until he
had thoroughly absorbed them
until they had permeated him. And
then on the first occasion, when he
wanted to say bright, clever thing, he
is so thoroughly imbued with all this
huge store of fun that the jokes drop
from his ready lips like pearls. So that
Mr.. Cox has won his reputation by his
| good wife's earnest and eager search for
| happy words, and his own bright origi-
nality in turning these good speeches
to account at the proper time and in the
proper place.

Do You Laugh Like a Gentleman?

Philadelphia Press.
"There is always one sure sign by
which you may know well-bred man,"
says cosmopolitan who is just now in
Philadelphia.
"And, pray, what Is that sign?" he
was asked.
"Itis his laugh. The butcher and the
baker and the candlestick-maker, not to
speak of the tailor, may do good deal
for man. But only thorough refinement
can make him laugh like a gentleman"

gentleman. Listen and note the next

AS matter of fact the wool business
gained during the period of this high
duty as the couatry developed in the
West, and in no other way. Since 1888
the increase of sheep in Dakota has
been more than 100 per cent, and yet l
would not venture to say that this Won
derfuI growth was brought about by the
decrease of the tariff in 1888.
The prices of wool, as effected by the
tariff, are perhaps more amusing than
instructive, but protectionists can reap
no pleasure from scorning them. In
1924, when we had no tariff on wool, IT.
reached the highest figure in the history
of our country, 63 cents: and in 1876,
nine years after we mad been living I'm

An Absurd Report.

RAPID CITY JOurnaI.
A few Dakota papers are giving cir
culation to an absurd report that Gov.
Church is to be removed. The people
of this territory should ere this time
have learned how much reports of this
kind are worth. 1t may be depended
upon that Gov. Church will not be re-
moved. Should Dakota remain terri
tory and Cleveland reelected, Church
would be good for another term.
