"a Nine Days wonder"

The memorable reign Of Lady Jane
Grey is said to have given rise to the
phrase: "a nine days wonder" Lady
Jane was proclaimed Queen OF England
July 10, 1853, four days after the death
of Edward VI. After the lapse of n
period of nine days, on July 10. she re-
iinquished her title to the crown, thus
terminating her reign in the short space
of week and n half. A noted his
torian says; Thus we come to the end
OF the diary OF that short and troubled
reign, that. from its length, is said to
have given rise to the now u62o) popu-
lar phrase. a nine days woHder.'"

has had a varied and interesting career.
Like SO many of his colleagues in the
Fifty-sccond Congress, he is n news
paper man, being at present the
publisher of the Devils Lake Inter-
Ocean. Mr.. Hansbrough was born at
Prairie du Rochcr, Randolph County,
I'LL, January 80, 1S4S and there at
tended the public school. In 1866, at
the age of eighteen, he removed to
California, and there learned the print
er's trade. During the years 1s6o-7O
he published daily paper at San
Jose. From San Jose he went to San
Francisco, and was for time news
editor of the Chronicle. In 1870 he
went to Chicago, and later to Wiscon-
sin, where he published the Bara-
boo Bulletin. Three years later he
moved again, settling finally at DEVILS
Lake, where he has since remained.
He has been twice elected mayor of the
city, was delegate to the Republican
National Convention in 1888, and was
chosen member of the. National Re-
pulican Committee for North Dakota.
Mr.. Ilansbrough was one Of the
earliest and most persistent and prom
inent advocates of the division of
Dakota and the admission of the north
crn part as State, and it was largely
due to his labors to this end that he
was made the Republican nominee for
Representative in the Fifty-frst Con-
gross. He was elected by a vote of
26,O77 to 12,00G for Marrata, the Demo-
cratic nominee, and has served in this
Congress to the apparent satisfaction OF
the people of his State. =

then developed into a mass of spores
mixed with long spirally twisted threads
known as ''elaters" Gig. p. From these
spores the new plants are formed. If
one breaks off Il spore case and presses
it, curious sight will be seen. The
spiral threads untwist and thus the
spores arc thrown about with peculiar
jerking motion. This seems to be an
ingenious contrivancc for spreading the
spores. The latter are very numerous
but only those which happen to fall in
damp places are likely to grow.
If one keeps the plant where it can
be watched, he will probably see an
other method of multiplying. On the
upper surface of the frond appear little
swcllings which in few days burst
open at the top. Thus each forms a
cup-shapcd cavity with beautifully
fringcd edge. In the bottom arc a
number of very small green discs. The
cup continues to spread open wider till

Alliance is most conspicuous. Perhaps
the most remarkable thing of all has
been the apparent uncertainty whether
the farmers, Notwithstanding their
clear majority over all in the Kansas
Legislature, would be able to defeat
Mr. Ingalls, ard elect their own candi-
date. Most extraordinary measures
were adopted by the Alliance to insure
the loyalty of their members. The new
Senator comes of pennsylvania Dutch"
stock, having been born in Cumberland
County, Penn, Sept. 10. 1881. He at
tended the common schools as boy, and
at the age of fifteen became n teacher.
After four years of teaching he went to
California to hunt for gold. He was moro
successful than the majority of the AR
gonauts, and in 1852 returned to Penn
sylvania for a wife and settled on a
farm near Charlottesville, Ind. Here he
lost the money he had made in Cali
fornia, and once more removed, this
time to Southwestern Missouri When
the war broke out Mr.. PETER enlisted
in the Eighty-thrd Illinois Volunteers,
and served until June 90, 1865, mainly as a
quartcr-master, adjutant and Judge adj
vocatc. From this last Office he derived
the title of judge, by which he is famil-
iarly known.
After the war closed Mr.. PETER
settled at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, and, hav-
ing studied law while in the army, be-
gan its practice. In 1870 he removed to
Wilson County, Kan, where he took up
claim and tried farming again. Two
years LATER he changed his residence to
frcdonia, Kan, where he established
the weekly Frcdonia Journal. Moving
again he set up the Coffcyville Jour
nal, and lived in Coffcyville until 1850,
serving meantime one term in the State
Senate as n Republican. He served also
as delegate to the National Republic
an convention in 1880. The same year
he removed to Topeka and took charge
of the Kansas Farmer, OF which he af-
forwards became the proprietor. When
the Alliance movement began, he wen.
into 1t heartily, and his paper was very
Influential in bringing about the sue

who would make you show your ticket

had to show his ticket. He tried again.
with the same result He tried several
times more, and still the obdurate gen.
tleman failed to recognize him. There
were few people going through at that
time, and it was singular that his con-
tinued temperance was not noticed.
Persistence, did, however, have an
effect at last. On the sixth trip through
the gateway the gatekeeper stared at
him in rather bewildered manner. On
the seventh trip the gatekeeper swore
gently to himself, and demanded to see
the name on the commuters ticket.
The commuter permitted him to read it,
and on reaching the waiting-room said
to his friend, HE has found out nv
