Nothing is more amusing or more per-
picking in the case of children than the
queer turns which their logic takes. It
not infrequently happens that they seem

The other day, for instance, little Percy,
who is one Of the most respectful of chill
dren, asked his father how the letters,
which he was just learning, happened to
have the names they do.
"Oh, that is only the way men decided
to name them" his father answered.
''They had to be called something 50 that
we could tell which one we were speak
ing Of
Nothing more was said about the matter
at the time but o day or two later the gov
erness complained that Master Percy per
sisted in calling the letter 0, which he
knew perfectly well, q, and could not be
persuaded that he was wrong.
"Why, Percy" his father said, "Ithought
you were learning your letters very fast
and here you are stuck ON round o. that
every baby knows"
"But it isn't 0 any more, papa,D the
small boy answered II 'cided tocall it a.

"Well / can't remember q very well
and the round letter is easy to tell, so
'cided to call ID q sothat I should know it,
But You can't change the names of the
letters, my boy"
"Why, papa" returned Percy, apparent
ly much aggrieved II asked you how the
letters got their names and you said folks
just cided what to call 'em, and / have
'cided to call that g."
His father saw that the boy was really ii
earnest and not in the least inclined to be
either rebellious or impairment, so he

why Percy's decision was not as good "a

and was entertained at dinner by the ex-

Principally to political "reminiscences.
Prince Bismarck referred to his resignation
as first-class funeral, but added that he
was quite alive still.
He did not understand the French law
compelling retirement from public service
at 60 or 65 years of age. He had been forced
to retire at 20, but he was too young to do
nothing.
LoNGINGS FOR POLITICAL LIFE.
He was accustomed to politics, and now
felt the lack of political business. His
resignation was absolutely final. He de-
Tended himself against the charge of bar
Darlty in having caused the bombardment
OF Paris. He declared that Germany would
never attack France or provoke France TO
attack her. Germany we'll understood that
Russia would intervene to protect France
If attacked just as Germany would
aid Austria if Russia attacked her. He
professed high admiration for President

FORTY MULES LIFELEss.
Flames Raging in the Nelson Mine
Shaft at Shamokin.

Flames Raging in the Nelson Mine
Shaft at Shamokin.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, May 1S.-The Nelson
shaft is on fire, having caught from the
burning timbers of the breaker destroyed
last Friday night. The lower levels are
filed with gas. twenty-five mules at the
bottom are dead and nineteen on the top
levels will probably be suffocated.
ASSUMING A SERIOUS ASPECT.
At 10 o'clock tonight the fire had assumed
a serious aspect. Fire is now in the No. 10
vein at depth of 1000 feet, but its extent
cannot be determined, as no one can visit
that level and return alive. Smoke and foul
air were noticed issuing from the air course
of the No. IL level at o'clock this after
noon.
The nineteen mules which were in the
750-foot level are dead.
BOILERS AND FAN DESTROYED.
The breaker fire destroyed the boiler and
one fan. To-day steam facilities were OBJ
tanned and a fan started to ventilate the
mine, but it failed to drive out the gas in
the upper level. The mine is making gas
fast, and serious explosions will occur If it
reaches the fire. Late tonight it was de-
cided to turn Carbon Run creek into
the shaft and drown out the fire. 1t will
take thirty-six hours to turn the creek, and
if the fire is in the locality in which the
mine foreman thinks it is it will be three or
four days before the water will reach the
fire. The gas and fire are so dangerous that
every precaution is being taken TO prevent
loss of life.
