The Gar Is Weak, Not Wicked.

A near kinsman of the Gar, who
visits Russia frequently, and who is
well known for his frankness as well
as fairness, told me a few months age
that many of the things done by the
alleged order of the Gar were repug.
nant to that rulers feelings. The
princes conversation might be sum-
married. in this way:
alexander has no idea of doing
wrong to anyone. His heart is full
of kindness. He is happy only when
surrounded by his family circle.
ut is true that the foulest malad-
ministration and persecution are 60
ing on all about him; but he, Door
fellow, is incapable of seeing them.
He hears only the reports of minis
tiers, who know that he does not like
to be worried.
"The poor man is so burdened with
fat that he can scarcely do any
work; his temperament is sluggish;
he lacks intelligence; when he signs
papers he has no idea that he is doing
more than an exercise in penman-
ship.
HE is physically and mentally in
capable of supervising any depart
ment of the goyernment-not even
the military; and as a consequence
the country is left entirely to officials,
who divide up power among them
selves, and do what they can to re-
main in Office"
Ionly quote enough of this princes
remarks to explain how it is that
abuses continue in a country NOM
inally governed by a mild, peace
loving Gar, for it opens a terrible
vista of what might be were he dis
posed to be personally cruel. 1t
makes one shudder to think of the
day when the present czarowitz shall
mount the throne. -Harper's Maya
zine.

tanning an ordinary education, he
studied and began the practice of
law. At the breaking out Of the civil
war he enlisted as a private in a Wis
consin regiment until the close OF the
strife. He served as a member of
the Wisconsin State Legislature in
1s6s-'69, and in 1870 removed to
Douglas County, Minnesota. Here
he was Elector on the Garfield ticket,
and served four years in the State
Senate. He served in the Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth and Ffftieth
Congresses, being elected by very
large majorities, but he was finally
given a political rest by a combina-
tion which had been effected for his
defeat.
Nebraska's Choice.
Lorenzo Crounse, the successful
gubernatorial candidate in Nebraska,
was born Jan. q, 1884, in Schoharie
County, New York. One of his great
grandfathers had come to this coun-
try from W%uttenberg, famous in the
history of the world since the time Of
Luther. Young Crounse went through
that early training from which so
many great Americans have gradua-

He served through the war, and af-

in Nebraska. He was elected to the
Territorial Legislature in 1865, and
in 1866 was chosen to the Supreme
Bench of the State. Congressional
honors were next thrust upon him,
and he served through both the Forty
third and Forty-fourth Congress. In

Many Ways of Spelling Cat"

Those of you who are fond of cats
will be interested to know that as
these soft-purring creatures look the
same in all countries they are also
known in these various lands by
names not very different from that
by which they are known to you. In
Danish and Dutch and Swedish the
word differs from our own designation
only.in the spelling, being kat in
first two and "katt" in the last. To
the French the cat is known as
"chat." In Germany the cat is
called katie" in Latin, "catus:"
"gatto" in Italian; cato" in Portu-
guese and Spanish: "kot" in Polish;
akots" in Russian; @keto" in Turkish;
"cath" in Welsh; "catua" in Basque
and "gaz" or "katz" in Armenian

Four Big Silver-Tips.

John Chapman of Wyoming relates
a thrilling experience his wife had re-
Gently with four silyer-tip bears, d
she bear and three cubs.
John was away from home at the
time. After eating an early supper,
Mrs. Chapman stepped outside the
kitchen door, intending to place Il
pan of milk in an clubhouse. She had.
just closed the door of the kitchen
when, looking up, she was confronted
by four bears, all resting upon their
launches and within d few feet Of
her.
She screamed and rushed into the
house and told the hired man the
cause of her fright and assisted in
finding the cartridges for rife that
stood handy, and then sank into Il
chair exhausted and helpless, while
the hired man made an attack on the
bears, killing the old one and two of
the cubs.
When Mr.. Chapman returned he
found his wife in an alarming
condition, her nerves being at such
tension that he feared she would go
into Mysteries. That night she COM
planned of hearing the bear screaming
outside, and finally, to satisfy hes.
John got up, and taking his gun
went to the door, where, sure enough,
was the remaining bear, standing
out in the cold. The cub made for
the bush as SOC as he heard John
coming, but in the morning the dogs
were turned loose on his trail, ard
young bruin was brought in to COM
pieIe the family. The cubs were full
ly half-grown silyer-tips and averaged
over $50 pounds each. The she bear
was a big One-as large as d COW.
