SOME THIRTY YEARS AGO.
Col. Sanders Receives congratulatory Tele-
gram.

In 1861, nearly thirty years ago.
Col. W. +. Sanders was ia Washingt on
city when Abraham Lincoln was in
augurated a. president OF the United
States. In company with many other
visiting Republicans the colonel re-
paired to the gallery OF the senate
chamber to witness the proceedings
there. The ceremonies were of an en-
thuslastic nature and at times the
gallery made considerable noise. so
much. in fact, that it was n. last de-
cided to clear them. 1t is not improb-
able that among me noisiest OF those
present was W. +. sanders. who, with
one Charles Henderson, another cal
iery spectator. evinced IA very large
part OF the enthusiasm.
When the galleries were cleared SAN
ders told Henderson he was bound TO
see the thing out and was going to 90
down upon the floor OF the senate.
Accordingly he buttoned up his coat,
pulled his hat over his eyes and an
peared ut the door OF the entry lead
ing to the senate chamber. An indi-
vidual on guard told him that only
senat ors were admitted there. Throw
ing back his shoulders and running his
fingers through what back hair he pos
seseed, Sanders asked: You don't
keep southern brisadiers out, do you?"
This was in the nature of "a new
proposition to the doorkeeper. and
while he was considering the matter
the colonel took advantage of the pre-
vailing confusion to walk through the
entry and into the chamber. About
the first thing he did on gaining admis-
sion was to east his eye toward the
deserted galleries. and there. from "A
secluded corner, bobbing up from be-
hind ii seat. appeared the self sai islied
countenance, head and shoulders of
Henderson, who had succeeded in
lodging he clearerS of the galleries.
The other day Col. Sanders received
rom Mr.. Henderson. who Is now "a
United states senator, he following
telegram:
MY hearty New Years greeting ain,
congratulations. Twill gladly welcome
you to the privileges of the floor which
you impudently u-urped thirty years
ago.

Man From Way Out West Paralyzes a
Red-Headed Dade

4 man from the west was telling a
few OF us in the smokers compart.
ment about some OF his adventures in
Montana, when IA young man in a
very checked suit. with very red hair
and freckled face, stood in the door
and inquired:

"Yes, sir

"Ies sir"
'Glad to meet you, sir WANTED to
ask you about the Indians. They are
very savage, understand"
"Well, yes

But you wouldn't be-"
But suppose was?"

NO. Why not, sir?'
"Because the minute you got out

would tumble you over and leave your
dead body for the coyotes. oh. no.
Nothing OF your general appearance

The young man swallowed at some
thing in his guIlet, tried hard To smile.
and Withdrew with the observation
that he never could endure very much
tobacco smoke.

The seven Bibles OF the world are t h.
Koran of the Mohammedans, the Tr
Pittikes OF the Buddhists, the Fiv,
Kings OF the Chinese, he Three Ne,la.
OF the Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and
the Scriptures of the Christians, saws
u writer in the Grange IN. j. Journal
The Koran is the most recent OF the
five, dating from about the seventh
century after Christ. 1t is "a com
pound of quotations from both the
Old and New Testaments and from the
Talmud. The Fri Pitikes contain
sublime morals and pure aspirations.
Their author lived and died in the
sixth century before Christ.
The sacred writings OF the Chinese
are called the Five Kings, the word
"kings" meaning web of cloth. From
this 1t is presumed that they were
originally written on five rolls OF cloth.
They contain wise sayings from the
sages on the duties OF life, but they
cannot be traced further back than
the eleventh century before our era.
The Nedas are the most ancient
DOCKS IN the language OF the Hindoos,
but they do not, according to late
commentators, antedate the twelfth
century before the Christian era.
The Zendavesta OF the Persians.
next to our Bible, is reckoned among
scholars as being the greatest and
most learned of the sacred writings.
Zoroaster. whose sayings it contains,
lived and worked in the twelfth cen
fury before Christ; Moses lived and
wrote the Pentateuch / 500 years be-
fore the birth OF Christ; therefore that
portion OF our Bible is at least 300
years older than the most ancient of
other sacred writings.
The Eddas, semi-sacred work of
the Scandinavians, was first given to
the world in the fourteenth century.
