What RahYIon Was Like.

According to Herodotus the ancient city
of Babylon stood on a broad, level plain,
and was an exact square of fourteen miles
each way, making the entire circuit of the
city fifty-six miles. 1t was protected by
both wall and moat, the latter being
broad and deep and kept constantly filed
with water But the wall was the wonder
of wonders, being SO 13 feet in width and
an even 200 feet in height. This monster
barrier was provided with 100 gates, all Of
solid brass, the lintels and side pieces be-
ing in bronze Cross walls ran along the
banks of the Euphrates, each provided
with twenty five gates, which coresponded
to the number of streets running in each
direction from the river. The most re-
markable edifice inside the wall was the
temple of Bel, pyramid of eight square
stadia On the summit of this pyramid
stood a pure gold image of Bel 40 feet
high, two other smaller figures of the same
precious metal, and a golden table 40 feet
long and Is feet wide. This wonderful
city first came prominently into history Of
the world in the year TAI B. c., but since
the time of Alexander the Great it has
been a ruin, the site having at one time
been entirely lost.

THE PROFESSORS WARD.
The Unsophisticated Politician and the Re-
Dorfer.

The Unsophisticated Politician and the Re-
porter.
The professor had been inveigled into
becoming political candidate, for it
was known that he had written several
able works on ''The Science Of Govern
ment, THE Ethics of Politics." ''The
Beatitudes of the Ballot" and other
subjects, and the faction taking him
up felt the need of some good man to
go before the convention with. The
professor was innocent of any crime,
had never seen any Doodle, was of clean
private record, and there was nothing
in his whole life that the newspapers
could find to fling mud at. So the pro-
fessor was inveigled into the scheme
and on the day of the convention a re-
porter approached him.
81 believe" insinuated the wilv re-
porter, that your ward has instructed
for you, professor"
''Sir?" exclaimed the guileless pro-
fessor, so indignant that even the re-
porter was at loss to account for it.
Il beg your pardon" he said; 81
meant no offense. l merely desired to
know if your ward had instructed for
You, sir"
But the professor fred up this time
more fercely than before.
MY ward knows nothing whatever
about it, SIR" he protested, vigorously
'She is young lady who has absolute
iy nothing to do with politics, and has
never said anything to me on the sub
ject of my candidacy, sir, except to dis
suade me from entering the political
field, and l sincerely hope that you will
not get her name in the papers in any
manner whatever. sir"
By this time it dawned upon the bril-
liant and versatile reporter. and suffice
it to say that he did not fail to embrace
the golden, glorious opportunity so
temptingly placed before him.-Detroit
Free Press.

were nearly 100 sports present. The
tediunn of waiting for the Connecticut
champion was enlivened by the guitar
player, who sang a parody on Maggie
Murphy's Home" which was like this:
You can stand in Grogan's alley.
About mile away,
And hear Mag singing church hymns
AT the breaking of the day.
Her head goes in bucket,
She doesn't mind the foam
For there are not any glasses
In Maggie Murphy's home.
This tender little sentiment was re-
ceived with murmurs of applause and
ELECTED an encore While the singing
was still warbling about the flower from
his angel mothers grave Mr.. Brodie en-
tered in company with Wally Perkins,
from Naugatuck, Conn. He wore wide
brimmed straw hat and large-checked
trousers. His jaws were wagging lazily
on piece of practice gum, and a quiet
smile Of conscious superiority rested on
his face. The time had now come for ac-
ton The outer door of the saloon was
closed, and Steve cautioned the audience
to keep still Said he:
81 want youse blokes to understand
that this amt no Homestead riot. It's
just little racket wot I've got up fer to
tickle me customers. Keep yer traps
closed and everything i'll be lovely. But

The music rose with its voluptuous swell,
while Mr.. Brodie began to make the pre-
Iminary arrangements for the chewing
gum match. He stood the five contest
ants up in row, appointed Billy Costello,
cripple, to act as time keeper, and an
nounced that he himself would act as
referee. When everything was ready he
put his hand into his coat pocket and drew
out handful of cubes of chewing gum.
1t was an impressive scene. The back
room was dimly lit by gas. The five men
who were about to test their chewing
powers looked as serious as though they
were in attendance at a funeral. Each
face in the crowd packed about the room
wore an expression of eager expectancy.

On recent evening the "vallie" had

came Wealthy.
An individual who opened a small
tavern near the field of Waterloo was fire.
quently questioned as to whether he did
or did not possess some relics of the battle
and he invariably and honestly answered
in the negative.
But he was very poor; and one day
while lamenting to q neighbor not only
his poverty, but the annoyance to which
travellers subjected him, his friend cut
him short with:
''Well, make one help the other-maks
some relics"
'But what can doF inquired the poor
man.
"Tell them that Napoleon or yelling
ton entered your shop during the battle
and sat down in that chair"
Not long after An English tourist
entered the tavern, and inquiring for
relics, was told the chair story. The
chair was bought at an incredible price.
The next conner was informed that
Wellington had taken a drink, and the
Wellington tumbler was accordingly sold.
The third arrival gazed with breathless
wonder at the nail on which Bonaparte
had hung his hat. The fourth purchased
the door posts between which he had
entered, and the fifth became the happy
purchaser of the floor on which he had
trodd.
At the last advices the fortunate tavern
keeper had not roof to cover his head,
and was sitting on a bag of gold in the
corner of a deep pit formed by iselling

"Wot's the prizel said Bill.
''The prize is a di'mon' medal It's a
good stone / paid $3.50 for it down to
the original Cohen's shop. and he says
he'll give the winner dollar on it. You
go in the back room and wait till the
champeen of Connecticut comes. He'll be
here in little while"
Bill went into the back room where he
found four other contestants. Each of
these bore his appropriate nickname.
There was Hoboken Pete, with jaw like
lion; Blinky Mcmillan, from Skaneatles,
whose heavy jowls resembled those of a
bulldog; while Johnny Halls Pet, stall
wart negro, and Billy Fangs, had been
supplied with formidable sets of mastica-
tory machinery. Each contestant looked
at his neighbor askance for a while, until
the community of interest broke the ice of
reserve. and they all dropped into sociable
converse. Each related some marvellous
experience in the chewing line. johnny
Halls Pet said he had accomplished the
feat of eating 12-cent Bowery custard
pie while running around block il the
unprecedented time of minute and or.
quarter This achievrner- was offset
the performance OF Billy plngs, VINO de-
clared that he had chewed and swallowed
twelve soda crackers IN as many minutes
'Aeobe youse mugs don't think that was
much to do he continued, earnestly,
but you try TO chew dry sody crackers
without water and it'll keep you a-gaping

In this delightful fashion the evening
wore away until the arrival Of the orches-
ira. which consisted of black piccolo
player and and white guit2rist. The
news of the impending chewing gum
match had gone abroad and tie saloon
