that at the hands of prominent demo-
crat. 1t was like this: An ex-congress-
man of Georgia, whose rotund figure is
well-lSnown feature in hotel Hobbies,
was on the floor of the house when the
news came that the first ballot was in.
In his haste to hear the result from the
operators own lips, he rushed through
the cloak room and, opening the door
leading out into the corridor, made
dive for the platform. AS it happened
large basket Of bright red apples oc-
cupied the space which should have
been vacant, and the substantial boot
of the ex-congressman insinuated itself
into the midst of the rosy pippins. Talk
about the fall of Rome! 1t was not q
circumstance to the descent of the dis
tinguished politician from the sunny
south. For awhile there was an indis-
criminate mass of basket, apples, legs
and IIibernian dialect from the ag-
grieved old lady. Quiet was finally re-
stored, but it is doubtful if the pur-
veyor of the fruits will ever forget this
assault upon her business interests.
This little incident furnished excite
ment second only to the news from the
convention. While the crowd around
the telegraph Office is thickest, and men
are standing on each others feet to see
the bulletin which the operator tacks
upon the top of his desk, Father Hol-
man, that faithful watch dog of the
treasury, passes along and murmurs
something about the uselessness of SO
many bulletins and what saving it
would be in the matter of telegraph
tolls if only one return, and that the
decisive one, were sent in from Chica-
go. The fewnewspaper men who re-
NAMED at the capitol are also gathered
about the instrument, and present the
unusual spectacle Of being served with
news instead of serving Others with it.
On the floor there is steady hum of
conversation without any pretense of
legislation and the house presents big
clubroom with the members sitting
around in little groups discussing the
situation. The galleries are deserted,
save for an occasional rural visitor who
drifts in under the impression that he
will see enacted some of those stirring
scenes of which he reads in his home

BACK TO THEIR HOMES.
Marvellous Development of the Homing
Instinct in Insects.

Marvellous Developments OF the Hcming
Instinct in Insects.
Exactly how insects, especially bees
and ants, find their way back after hav-
ing flown or been taken some miles
from the home hive or ant hill, is one Of
the mysteries of animated nature.
A young naturalist who lived four
teen miles from a large city, frequently
made it point to test this ''homing"
instinct in the common Italian bee. He
would carefully color their wings with
red, blue or violet ink, pack them
snugly in box and carry them to the
very heart Of the city before releasing
them, says the Philadelphia Press.
With few exceptions they were at
home working away unconccrncdly
when the eXperimenter returned in the
evening. On one occasion, according to
prearranged plan, he turned six bees
loose in the city at 6 o'clock in the
morning. He had previously colorcd
Che wings of each with red ink, SO that
his confederate and co-experimentcr, a
sister who also had an chronological
taste, could not possibly be mistaken as
TO the exact time of their arrival.
The first one reached the home hive
at twenty-five minutes past two. Be
fore five three more Of them had safely
arrived, but, seemingly, were much IA
tigu0d.
At nightfall the fifth and sixth Of the
home-loving little insects had put in an
appearance. Bright and early on the
following morning, however, the young
scientists were overjoycd to find all the
red-winged honey gatherers humming
merrily about their work.
Experiments with large black ants
were equally satisfactory. The same
scientist tied yellow silk about the
waists" of three largc-sized specimens
that lived in a hollow tree in the
heart of large wood. These were car
red distances varying from one 70 tive
miles from their home, but invariably
returned within a surprisingly short
time.

VARIOUS NOTES.

MEN talk about the liquor question.
The greatest question for the laboring
men of to-day is the liquor question.
Solve that and it will help to solve all
others.

law prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the vicinity of camp meetings, or other
religious services held in the open air,
under heavy penalty.

ONE.FIFrlETH of Germany's culti-
waited land is devoted to the liquor traf-
fic, which is making it a question of beer
or bread for the poorer classes of that
country. The drink question is thus
becoming an important one in the pollt-
ical economy of Germany. Professor
Schneider, of Berlin, an able political
economist, thus writes:-"Among our
working people the conditions of
domestic life, Of education, of pros
perity, of progress, or degradation are
all dependent on the proportion of in
come which flows down the fathers
throat. The whole condition of our
lower and middle classes-one may,
even without exaggeration, say the fu-
ture of our natiou-depends on this
question. If it is true that half our

"Well, YOU are trustv. John. You

swell, you are trusty, John. You
know my ways. Here, give me your
hand and say no more about it"
You're very kind, Sir" The trem-
bling hand OF the young man met the
firm grasp of the older one, and the
compact was sealed.
1t was a month after, at night-the
night between Good Friday and Easter
Sunday-that John locked the office
door and stepped out into the dark.
He followed his streets, poor fellow,
with discrimination. He kept steadily,
slowly, but unwaveringly, seeking
those places best lighted, lingering no.
where, speaking to no one. Suddenly
he paused-it was wild night The
wind came in great gusts, the rain beat
hard upon the walks, and the sky was
rent with thunder. John wore soft
felt hat; he pulled it down over his fore
head, thrust his hands into his pockets
and leaned against a lamppost. The
globe about the light was covered with
moisture, the street was nearly desert
ed, horsecar now and then clattered
over the pavement; policeman, walk
ing his beat, came regularly into view,
and as regularly disappeared. John
looked at nothing but the sidewalk,
saw nothing but his own life, and
thought of nothing but himself.
HE was trusty,'" Mr.. Manton said,-
''trusty but could not trust himself.
What was the best course to pursue?
1t was a nice world but he could never
enjoy it-he had been discharged and
taken back again three times already.
He was only twenty-five, but he had
wasted that length of time-no, he
would no. hesitate, he would not yield!"
He started swiftly down the block.
There was building on the corner
which he must pass and then he would
be safe. AS he neared it his breath
came quick and fast-he slackened his
pace while endeavoring to hasten it
he had reached the place! Through the
door came the sound of voices, his
hand was on the latch-the odor of
temptation stole out and enveloped him.
Heaven be merciful! A car was going
by; he screamed to it to stop, he sprang
aboard and sat down, imploring the
driver to enable him to catch the last
ferry-boat.
The rain was coming down in tor
rents, the thunder crashed over the
city. Alone by the dim light John
wrote on slip of paper: Forgive me,
had to drink or die" He folded it
carefully and addressed it to ''Mr. Man.
ton, Stark Building, Blank street,
City,"-put it beneath the band of his
water-soaked hat and left the car as it
reached the ferry.
1t was Easter morning. The bells
chimed out joyfully the resurrection
hope. Flowers were in every church,
even the Oldest persons felt that life
was beautiful and precious yet. None
knew-none had heard that gurgle Of
water last night as if it had swallowed
it's prey. Down by the ferry, in the
early dawn had been found floating an
old felt hat. and in the band was slip
of paper which read: Forgive me, I
had to drink or die!'-C. L. Spencer, in

A BOYS Thrilling Adventure.

BADGES the men in attendance were

did not let go soon enough, was carried

him and managed 10 get his feet around

it was to feed it had rush he'd ont at the

but, after six complete revolutions, the
mill was stopped fairly cholied by the
bundles Of cane thrust into its jaws,
