The Oustinc Of Governor Royd.

OMAHA, NEB., May S.-The Ousting
OF Governor Boyd has given rise to many
startling political rumors, the latest Of
which is that Chief Justice Cobb wants
to be Senator and that by helping Thay-
er in as Governor he will secure the COW
eted place by appointment. In order to
make room for him, the rumor says, that
Senator ManderSon will be appointed to
succeed Secretary Proctor, when the
latter official takes Edmunds' place in
the Senate. Senator Manderson re-
turned home from Washington to-day
and was asked by a reporter as to the
reliability Of the gossip. He replied:
Il can say without he>itancy that there
is no foundation whatever for it.

There is a certain family, composed OF
two daughters, and these two are of total
ly dissimilar temperaments. One is an
active child, with large head and gift
of asking questions, many of which are
posers.
Did you ever notice what diversity Of
employments are required for child of
this description A school teacher once
said that upon the introduction of child
with large head into her school, she al
ways groaned in spirit, for it meant not
unusual brilliancy Of intellect, but that
the child must be constantly employed, for
otherwise he would employ himself and
get into mischief untold, for such child
must always be doing something.
Well, the little maid aforesaid often finds
the world IA sucked orange, and repines
bitterly thereat If she is admonished or
disciplined for this she sulks, and, as a
nurse once called it, "acts up" But if a
few minutes thought is given to provid
ing something for her to do she is content
for while.
This child has never been spoiled by
overindulgence, but occasionally she bursts
out into storm of temper that would lead
any one to think so, while her sister, two
years younger, was born good, always does
the right thing in the right way and rarely
has to be reproved in any way If the
younger child were the only one, the par
cuts would have the credit of being admir-
able isciplinarians. L. Il. Chttenden in

She Made Him Move.

He was twenty or thereabouts, full
blown as to walstcoat, iamboyant as to
trousers and in love with the diminishing
glories OF his toothpick patent feathers.
He lounged all over cross seat in an ele-

dusty sole left mark on the dark gown.

lazy look Of ineffabe content Then the
woman herself took hand. Politely but
firmly she said. please be good enough,
sir, to give me little more space" Still
the sweet youth sat unmoyed
She made her request again, but In vain.
Then she got up with an amused smile,
walked out upon the platform, and, touch

poor lumberjack in here who has got his
feet out OF place and can't get them back.
Won't you please come in and fix them for

The Cross MAN subsldsd.

The scene was the interior of a parloI
car; the time was near the close of a warm
afternoon, and the dramatis persona were
handsome young matron, her two chill
dren, one girl Of eighteen months, the
other boy Of perhaps three and half
and a cross man. The man occupied q
chair opposite those of the other party, and
and as the children grew restless and diff
cult to keep quiet his annoyance and choleE
rose considerably beyond the visible point.
Suddenly the little boy, running down
the car, tripped and fell against his little
sister, who was toddling to meet him.
Both fell, the boy getting a bump, while
the baby only rolled over to pick herself
up with laugh. The boy screamed in
pain, and the cross man reached out to
raise him with a jerk he evidently could
not restrain.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself" he
said so sharply that the child stopped his
crying, ito make such a noise when your
baby sister does not cry at allT
There was no mistaking the pcnt up
crossness of his tone and manner The
mother saw it and flushed.
Don't blame him." she said sweetly,
and everybody heard her ut isn't his
fault. Men, you know, big or little, can
never put up with anything disagreeable
without making fuss about it," and she
took her little man on her knee to soothe
him, while the big man swallowed his re-
buke as best he could to the amusement Of
those within hearing.-EIer Point of View

beautiful Land OF Oklahoma.

Oklahoma is picturesque country.
From the summit Of the great red earth
cliffs OF the Canadian range one may look
over great breadths of woodland and miles
OF rolling prairie, with here and there
stretches and clumps of trees-upon scenes
of such beauty that even the stolid Choc-
laws and Chickasaws, MS they gaZed there
on, exclaimed Oklahoma" |. e., lovely
country" 1t is said that when once a
boomer was able to enter the land and
locate claim, he Enver abandoned the
effort to secure it, but waited as best he
could until noon of that day, April %,
1880, when the last barrier was removed
and then joined in the most remarkable
race the world ever saw-a race between
thousands Of men on foot, In wagons and
on horseback, seeking a home.-John II.

A Map of Telegraph Poles.

Mr.. George Ryley, superintendent Of
construction In the Western Union Tele-
graph company, has most peculiar and
valuable portfolio in his possession. 1t is
made up Of fac SMILES of all the telegraph
poles in the sixth district, which comprises
the states OF New Jersey Maryland and
that portion of Pennsylvania east Of the
Allegheny mountains. Each pole il per
fectly reproduced in pen and ink, showing
the number of crossbars, together with the
different wires attached, each Of which is
numbered.
The book is an invaluable assistant to
Mr.. Ryley from the fact that when there
is trouble with any of the wires in the dis
trict, tits an easy matter for him to direct
lineman to the spot in need of repair in u
very short space of time. When the report
comes to the main office that a wire Is
down at some point between. two telegraph
stations, the exact locality of which Is un-
known, Mr., Ryley turns over the leaves OF
his book and locates the exact spot in a
minute. philadelphia Record.

The Population of Babylon.

Various attempts have been made, by
comparing its area with that of modern
cities, to estimate the population of Baby
Ion. But on the lowest calculation il
would be found, supposing it to have borne
any considerable resemblance to one of ouI
cities, to have had population of 5000,
600, supposition to which all but in
superable obstacles are opposed. The map
of Asiatic Turkey shows that the extent OF
country around Babylon available for
agricultural purposes must have been
quite inadequate to supply the necessary
demands for anything like such an i'm
mense population.
Perhaps, on the whole, we may estimate
the population at from 100000 to 1900,
OO0 This superstition derives support from
the fact that Seleucia, with population
of 100000 souls, is stated by Strabo and
Pliny to have been about half the size OF
Babylon in the days of her greatest glory.

A Novel Eirn IrxtinrnIsher

Not long ago the chimney of IA courtry
house took fire. The flames were put out
as fast as they extended to other parts OF
the house, but the chimney kept getting
hotter and hotter and nobody seemed to
know just how to get Mt the flames to sub
due them.
Suddenly boy looking on had a bright
idea. The owner Of the house kept great
many fowls. Quickly running to the duck
pen, the boy seized several ducks in his
arms and started back Mounting the roof
on a ladder, before any one knew what he
was about the lad threw duck down the
chimney, the flames subsidized and a denser
smoke came up The boy tossed down an
other duck and another. The cloud of SCOT
raised by the Tapping wings Of each duck
as it fell smothered the fire and gave the

worked with such good effect that the
flames were soon cXtinguished.
