An Indifferent Omcer.

A correspondent, writing of the late
Lord Strathnairn, says be was the most
indolent, lackadaisical, languid person
who ever daVvdled along Piccadilly. When
be was devastating central India and win.
ming the splendid victories that immor-
talized his name he was so lazy that he
could not be got to dictate the dispatches
recording bis own triumphs. Months
elapsed before these documents could be
extracted from him, and then they were
brief and Ineager to the last degree One
day, when Sir Hugh Rose, he was enter
tanning gallant company to dinner dur
ing the crisis of the mutiny.
With the utmost sang froid he was de
lighting those near him with one of-his
best anecdotes In the middle of it his or
derby entered, and after saluting exclaim-
ed, I'VE have captured 200 rebels, SIR
To him the general turned, and with that
elegant courtesy of manner on which he
prided himself, serenely replied, THANK
you, sergeant" But the man still re-
manned. Again interru pting his chief, he
said, But what are we to do with them,
sir?"
"Oh." replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, chang them of course" and he re-
sumed his anccdote.
In little while Sir Hugh was again in
terrupted in the middle of another story
by the sergeant, who came in and said
Please sir, we've hung the lot, SIR" The
general turned, bowed slightly and in the
sweetest manner lisped, Thanks, sergeant
very many thanks" and then went on
with his anecdote as if nothing had hap
pened. This story came to the ears of the
queen, and she was angry that it nearly
cost Sir Hugh his peerage.-Million.

Tide. on the Great Lakes.

II has been said there are no tides on the
great lakes. Yet every seafaring man at
the city of Green Bay says there are tides
here. Tue Green Bay people are certain OF
| the tides, because they hare seen them
and have been seeing them ever since they
lived here. The tides come in the morning
and evening. and are highest at a. IN. and
Z p. m. From until in the morning the
tide gradually comes in. After that time
it begins to recede, and is at its lowest
point between II to 2:30 At the latter
hour the evening tide commences and it
rises continuously until Z in the evening.
when it begins to recede. The height OF
the tide varies at times trifle, but it is
never less than five inches and seldom over
eight inches under ordinary circumstances.
Heavily laden boats of large size are de-
tanned frequently at this point during low
tide waiting for the tide to come in. Cap
tains are so certain that there is a tide that
they will wait for some hours TO take adj
vantage Of its movement before attempting
to leave port.
If there is tide in Green bay then there
is tide on all the inland lakes. 1t may be
too small to be measured but it is there
just the same. Green bay is shaped not
unlike the Bay of Fundy, where the tides
on the Atlantic are compressed until they
rise to enormous heights 1t is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that tide of half an
inch or an inch from the wide stretch of
waters east and west, reaching several
hundred miles from Georgian bay across
Lake Huron, through the straits of Mack
inac, across the foot of Lake Michigan and
up the long, marrow bay, would be so COM
pressed to be at last perceptible. IL
would be impossible to measure small
a tide, and scientific men would be justified
in denying altogether the existence of a
lake tide--Wisconsin Cor. Chicago Herald.

We feel bit sorry for the opposition
candidate. While he is totally unfit for
the office and should never have been
nominated he has put in his time and
money and will be left dead broke and
completely discouraged by the result We
also feel sorry for the good men among
the opposition. They have lied about us
shot at us, vilifed us and whooped it up
in various ways as a duty they owed the
party. 1t was going it rather strong when
they declared that our father was hanged
for murder and our mother used TO be a
beer singer in st. Louis, but it was in the
line Of duty and only what might be ex-
pected in American politics.
We shall wind up the campaign by a
speech here at home Saturday night. Not
that we need further assurance of our
triumphant election, but because we have
the speech on hand and might rs well use
it. 1t is a ripper. 1t will be delivered in
a ripping style. After we leave the plat
form our friends will be too hoarse to
speak loud word, and the opposition can't
be found with fine toothcomb. Being
the windup OF all our laudatiOns of our
own party and of all our criticisms of the
other, it will naturally be redhot and pro
life of blisters. Come and hear it.

THE ARIZONA KICKER
A Few Preliminary Remarks Previous 70
the Election.

the Election.
Sr,nsrNc UP.-For the last four
months the mayor Of this town twno Is
ourself) and the editor and proprietor Oh
Tur KICKER (who is also oursel) has been
hofora the electors Of this senatorial DIS
,rict as n candidate for state senator. Inc
camnaign is now practically closed. Next
u,eek brings the election. 1t Is perhaps
we'll TO do a little summing up anu SEQ
what has been accomplished during 'hs
four months.
First-The Office did not seek US, but we
laid our pipes and made successful graz
at IL. The idea that the Office should seek
the man was all right in the year $50 Is. e.,
Int Il hasn't been worth shucks IN TINS
country since Christopher Columbus dis
covered IT, That was what allied us for
about ten years-we were waiting Tor some
office to seek us, and we wore mighty poor
clothes and didn't sit down to a square
meal once "A week.
Second--Having sought and secured the
nomination, we planted our wires Tor
mil in every direction. The fact tnat we
are honest, respectable and all .. h. as
men run. and that the opposition couldn't
even get up decent lie about us, was all
right to certain point. Beyond that we
had TO shell out cash, tap keg OF WHISKY
here and there, and promise to take care Oh
about fifty heeers who really ought TO be
doing time in state prison.
Tbird-We have made thirteen cam
paipn speeches. In each and every one OF
them we have twisted facts and figures to
suit our side and confound the opposition,
and the charge that we have done more or
less living is more or less true. man
who hasn't got through with truth when
he becomes n candidate for Office IS defeated
from the outset.
Fourtb-Up to date we have been shet
at four times: two attempts have been
made to assassinEte us; we have been bonn
barded with cats, rabbits, eggs and other
fruits OF this prolific soil; two attempts
have been made to steal our running mule'
we have received three Internal machines
and twenty one threatening epistles. On
the other hand we have wounded two OF
the opposition who have doubted our We
racity when we were lying, and hred al
three others who got away. we nave
aided to break up three meetings, licked
two of the opposition speakers and Kept
mch corner on the kerosene market
that only our side could hold torchlight
parades
Fifth-We have used every honest and
dishonest effort to down the opposition and
get there with both feet, and we know
that we are solid We shall be elected by
the largest majority ever given state
senator in this district. Had 1t been lett
~ Ch have
ferred quiet campaign with no shooting
We should have elected TO go before the
neople as humble citizen possessed of a
fair share of the cardinal virtues. We
should have refused to buy up the old
soakers or come down with dollar for a
corruption fund. The politicians wouldn't
have it that way, however. We were IN
the hands of our friends, and they didn't
want any new ideas introduced into the
campaign.
