very plainly because we want it plainly
understood. After the Mayor (Which
ls ourselD has granted a license, ad-
vance agents should call upon the
editor Of the Kicker (Which is ourself

He can then call upon the owner of

this way everything can be arranged

Observation-Disclosures will miss
of our most attractive departments
this week-that headed: Cowboy
Capers." Mr.. John R. Bangs, late of
New York City, was the accomplished
editor of that department on a salary Of
81 a week and found.
Last week he borrowed our mule for
a ride into the country and he hasn't
returned yet. The mule was sent back,
but Mr.. Bangs still tarries. 1t seems
that some of Col. Longs cowboys
caught him, and not liking his free
and easy style with the pen they
pulled him up to a limb. Being very
busy with other matters, they let him
hang too long and were obliged to
bury him.
Mr.. Bangs was a fluent writer and
will be sadly missed. We had intended
to raise him to 81 so next week, and
also to lend him a white spirit and
introduce him into society. We ex-
pect a Boston man on to take his place
next week, and the department will
be made even more interesting, if
possible. M. QUAD.

C~ELE BRA DWARFS.

Early In the last century a brother
and sister attracted great attention for
smallness of stature. They were of
Polish birth and were people of great
accomplishments and elegant manners.
When the brother, Count Berowlaski,
was 1year old, he measured 14inches in
height. Five years after he had gained
but 3 inches, but at the age of twenty
he had reached to 80 inches and at 80
the measurement was 6 inches more,
and then growth ceased. The sister,
A~nastasia, 7years younger, could stand
under her brothers arm. The count
lived to be almost 100.

SWIMMING.

Among the delights of swimming IS

eroach to flying. The accomplished
swimmer reposes on the surface OF hi
waves as truly as the bird repo8es Oh

even greater ease, since the pressure OF
the water that sustains him is superior
TO the pressure Of the atmosphere, n

must move hia pinions to some extent
In order to avoid falling; but the SWIM

FUNNY INCIDENTS AT MARRIAGE
SERVICES.

Some funny stories are told about
the marriage service in the Isle Of man..
One of them relates how an old Man,
brought rather unwillingly to the altar,
could not be induced to repeat the re-
sponses. MY good man." at length
exclaimed the clergyman, q really
cannot marry you unless you do as
you r told" But the man remained
silent. At this unexpected hitch the
bride lost all patience with her future
spouse and burst out with, Go on.
Say it after him just the same as if you
was mOckin' him" The same difficulty
occurred in another case. The Gle, gy.
man, after explaining what was ece
sary, and gong over the responses
several times, without the smallest
effect, stopped Ia dianRy. whereupon
the bridegroom encouraged him with,
Go ahead, PASS, go ahead! thOu'rt
dom bravely." Upon another occasion
1t was, strangely enough, the wOmAn
who could not be prevailed upon to
speak. When the Clergyman remon
Strated with her, she Indignantly re-
replied: Your father married me
twice befoor, and he wasn't akin me
any of them imperent questions at all"

Herald would not think of changing
any of its plans, even though the As
s~Ociation were beaten"
VERY WELL" said the visitor, rising
to go; eff that be the case, the only
thing we can do is to send out the
message to night, even at the expense
Of breaking faith with the President.
Our customers must be properly
served"
This was what the executive editor
had hoped. He sent for the foreman of
the composing-roOm and instructed him
to be in readiness to set an extra page
at a late hour, as it was expected that
the Presidents message would come
in. Sure enough, about one o'clock
that night in it came!
The editor hurried it to the c0mp0s-
ing room, and subheaded it, sheet by
sheet, as it went out. Result, the
Herald had a page of the Presidents
message set, read, corrected, and in
the form before two O'Clock, while the
other papers, not being prepared to
handle it, coming unannounced as it
did at SO late an our, could only use
a few disconnected paragraphs from
the impor5antdocument. The Herald,
thanks to the editor in charge that
night, scored a fine beat" but that
Associated Preas agent probably has
congratulated himself for years at
having partially defeated the machina-
tions of an enterprising newspaper.
The moral for managing editors in
this incident is not to believe all you

Indians in cold bloodr' exclaimed the
pink whiskered passenger who had
lower No. 6 in my car.
"Got to. Any of you want to ride
over and kill a sheer of the crowd3 I'll
lend We a knife"
A committee at once went to the
conductor, and the conductor found a
gallon jug somewheres and a man
carried it through the train until it
was filled from the various TASKS.
Then it was handed to the old man,
who strapped it to his mule, and
said:
wall, I don't want to seem to be
onhuman. OF course it's risky to let
them eighteen varmints loose without
being converted, but bein' as you seem
inclined to give EN- n more chance,
and bein' as you have tried to make it
pleasant fur me, I'll go back and tell
'em to skip."
And as he rode off and we all stood
looking after him a woman asked the
conductor if he really believed the
man had caught eighteen Indians as
stated.
Its just possible, ma'am," he re-
piled. But 1 hardly think 50. Idon't
honestly believe he caught over ten,
and some of them might have been old
Indians at that"

LEAP YEAR

Colin Shackleford said: "Some one
asked me the other day what was the
origin Of women proposing marriage
during a leap year. I looked it up,
and while it may not be new to all l
dare say it will interest many. In the
year 1888 a statute was published by
the Scotch Parliament, of which the
following is a copy, and is, to my mind,
the origin of the custom or idea. l do
not know that it is a custom or ever
was:
'"It is ordained that during the
reign Of Her Blessit Majestic Margaret,
like maiden ladee of bath high and
low estate, shall have liberty to speak
to the man she likes. Gift he refuses
to tage her to be his wyf' he shall be
muIct in the sum of ane hundredity
pounds or less, as his estait may bee
except and always gift he can make it
appear that he is betrotht to another
woman, then he shall be free
After the dear old Margaret had
passed away the women became clam
orous for their privileges, and to ap-
pease them another act of Parliament
allowed them the privilege every fourth
year. "-ChicugO Tribune.

The second charge was then taken up.
This is the vital one Of the indictments,
as 1t relates to Prof. Smiths views on
the inspiration Of the scriptures. Prof.
Smith in discrimination endeavored
70 ascertain who were the authors Of
the overture which gave rise to his
paper.
The prosecution objected. but it was
oYer-ruled, and the witness answered
that no one was the author. Prof.
Smith then asked who were the authors.
This brought DR.. McKlbben to his feet.
He said be had much feeling in this mat
ter, and he proposed that If it should ap-
pear that this line Of Inquiry was in
tended to bring out private matter not
bearing on the merits Of the case, he
would demand censure OF the accused.
A member OF the court objected
TO this language as being wrong.
Prof. Smith anally withdrew his
question. Dr. Curtis stated that he
wished to withdraw the language used
by him in calling DR.. McKtbben to
order and to have the words regarded
as not having been spoken.

LEVIED ON HIS WHISPERS.
A Sleepy Old Justice and Ditto Con-
stable the Victims OF q Lawyers Humor.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, December l.
Charles Libby, secretary Of the Kansas
City (Kansas) Paving Company, to-day
enjoyed, or rather did not enjoy, the
novel experience Of having q constable
levy upon his whiskers in an attach
ment for the satisfaction of q debt Of
S2S.
Mr.. Libby, as Secretary Of the paving
company, gave Iaborer bill upon the
Treasurer for S2s for wages due. The
laborer negotiated the bill with a money
lender whom Mr.. Libby declined to
pay.
The money-lender obtained Judgment
In Justices Court for the full amount.
The lawyer in fit Of humor made ap-
plication to the Justice for writ OF at
tachment upon Mr.. Libby's whiskers in
satisfaction OF the judgment.
The Justice is a sleepy old soul and
without reading the application signed
it. The lawyer turned it over to a
sleepy old constable who served it to
the best of his ability.
He sought out Mr.. Libby and without
much difficulty read the paper to him,
but when it came to taking possession
OF the property mentioned in the writ
the constable was baked.
He finally got around the difficulty by
endorsing upon the writ: Served De-
cember l, 1892. Read to defendant.
Unable to produce property In court" "
Mr.. Libby declines to pay the judg-
ment in the case, and says he will shave
of his beard.
