is now about over and the heavy logs Of all
varieties of hard wood are being brought
through the mountain passes. A short time

and from which he expects to realize still
larger profit. Much Of this fine timber is ship

LIVES OF GREAT MEN.

All Remind us OF Biographical Chestnats
The first man who ever wrote an
other mans life probably was ham
pered by lack of facts. III he were not,
would he have laid so much stress on
the fact that his hero was born Of such
or such parents, of such or such race,
and then coniectured that from said
parent or parents he inherited such or
such traits
Wonder " no was the first historian
to introduce this now hackneyed
method
See, here are some samples of the
trite phraseology of which his example
has osnsed others to be guilty:
"His parents came from Yorkshire,
Eng aud from them he inherited the
deep sincerity of the Anglo Saxon
character
Coming of good old Pilgrim stock,
he early evinced predisposition for
theological controversy, etc"
"Of genuine Puritan ancestry he was
anything to please readers.
His parents were Irish, and from
them he inherited anything to please,
but especially wit.
Born IN Boston, he had oil the ad
vantagcs. Here are worked in at
mosphere, literary, not east wind, in
stitutions of learning. not penal
A Virginian by birth, he was q fine
type of the Southern gentleman.
Here are worked in mother OF Prssi
dents, Old Dominion, etc.
His parents were Scotch, and to
such origin must be attributed good
place for intense religion feeling, some
thing about Bobby Burns, etc
"Of humble parents he never forgot
the.people." Seli-msde man is also
added
The son Of German immigrants, he
was noted Tor his sobriety, love of
mercantile pursuits, etc.
But Of all the time-worn phrases,
born of poor but honest parents" is
the worst Not only is its age against
IL. but 1t suggests either that poor peo-
pie generally are dishonest, or that ii
the hero's parents had been rich they
could not possibly he honest two
propositions equally absurd
No doubt the following will be found
IN the biographies of the future
His father was~7a fine Chinaman,
and from him the son inherited his de
lIghtful humor prepossessing counte-
nance and fashionable clothes.
"In his veins flowed only the pure
blood of the noble Comanches, which
accounts for his imperturbable good
nature. strict honesty and civilizing
tendencies
His father was descended from q
bona.fids Oklahoma boomer, and from
this source he inherited his love of
poetry and fine arts.
"His parents spoke over the first
telephone ever put mp in Blazeryille,
Wis. and 10 their adventurous spirit
must be attributed the stupendous
enterprise that characterized his
careec"
Where this style of biography may
stop the Lord only knows.-BostoH

WASHINGTON, March 14.--Goy. Hill,
OF New York, who refuses to resign his
grip upon the patronage of the state, al
though his term a. senator began on the
4th of March, has precedents for this
action. President Garfield and Gen.
Schenck each once held on to state
offices after they had been chosen a.
congressman Then II was only two
years ago that Oar Hall continued To
serve AS a member Of the Minnesota sen
ate, when his term in congress began
March 4, 1889, until April %, when the
Minnesota legislature adjourned J. u.
Robinson, 4 democratic mcmber-elect
from Pennsylvania TO the neyt house,
retains his seat i'm the Per nsylyanla sen
ate. In Ohio two democrats, Pattison
and Donovan. have decided 10 remain In
the Ohio legislature. II Pattison should
resign the democratic majority IN the
Ohio senate would be wiped out, and
Donovan's withdrawal would leave the
house uncomfortsbly close.
