At the supper table the easterner

"Ain't got it," replied the waiter
promptly.
"Well, bring me a muttonchop

"Ain't got il" came back the

The easterner showed his annoy

"Ain't got it." came the same

"Indeed?" ironically. Suppose
you bring me a bit of boiled hap1. "

In the talks l have had with
professed anarchists, / have found
two kinds of men. The majority
are weak-headed people, Of nerv-
GUS temperament, incapable Of
correct thinking. They have be-
come anarchists because they hap
pened to be thrown under the in
fiuence of stronger men who were
anarchists. We find men similar
to these in all political parties and
also in all churches. They have
not the faintest conception why
they are SO jealous, but they are,
and that is all there is about it.
They belong to that great body
that Carlyle, with angry impa-
tience, was fond of calling fools.
This class of anarchists would not
be dangerous in themselves, but
the zeal of a fool will go very far
when directed by a madman with
purpose. The other and smaller
class is composed of men who have
pondered much on problems too
hard for them, until their brains
have become added. Take an
uneducated man without much
mental force and let him try to
think out, unaided, a theory of
government through which all
suffering, all crime, all unhappi-
ness, all injustice would be elimi-
mated, and he is sure to make a
mess of it. He knows next to
nothing of the history of nations
and peoples and men, and of the
experiences of the past. He has
nothing to guide him except his
own crude notions. But with this
sorry equipment he formulates a
theory that is to regenerate the
world. The effort makes a mad
man of him, and the unwillingness
on the part of society to accept
his ideas confirms him in his in
sanity. He meets some Of the in
capables just alluded to, and in a
little while there is a new group
of anarchists. BY some peculiar
attraction these men of added
minds come in contact with each
other and there is bond of sym
pathy which unites them in oppo-
sition to all constituted authority.

Mistakes OfHIstOrIans.

Mucius Scaevola never put his
hand in the ERE. The story is a
fabrication of a Roman historian
hundreds of years after the sup
posed time.
Augustus was not the public
benefactor he is represented. He
was the most exacting tax collect
or the Roman world had up to his
time ever seen.
There is no reason to believe
that Tarquin insulted Lucretia.
His power was overthrown in a
popular tumult, which is the only
basis for the story.
Columbus did not foretell an
eclipse of the moon to frighten
the natives of Jamaica into rem
dering him assistance. There was
no eclipse of the moon at that
time.
Alexander the Great did not
weep for other worlds to conquer.
There is reason to expect that his
army met with serious reverse
in India, fact that induced him
to retrace his steps.
Philip VI, after his defeat at
Crecy, when he applied for shell
ter at the castle Of Blois, did not
respond to the sentinel at is the
fortune of France" but "It is /,
the unfortunate king of France"
The immense burning glasses
with which Archimedes burned
the ships of the beslegers of SYRIA
cuse at ten miles distance were
never manufactured, and it is now
known that they could not be.
Columbus did not make an egg
stand on end to confuse his oppo-
nents. The feat was performed
by Brunelschi, the architect, to
silence critics who asked him how
he was going to support the dome
of the cathedral Of Florence.
The existence of the Colossus

Scotch Consistency.

Extreme piousness is often more
provocative of humor than of adj
hiration, as the employers Of a
certain puritanical young Scotch
man have found out. He came
from some country place near
Edinburg with the strongest rec
concentrations from his old pastor,
who stated, among other things,
that "sae guide a boy he was that
there was scarely a dry eye in the
congregation when it was an
nounced that he was to 90 to
America to seek his fortune" He
proved to be not only a good clerk,
but obliging TO his friends, and
when the annual picnic was plan
ned he proposed to save his fellow
clerks the expense of printing their
programmes by typewriting them
himself. When, however, the list
of diversions for the days pleasure
was handed him, and he found that
dancing was among them, he ex-
claimed violently;
'Tll nae print that ungodly word
dancing on paper. I'll typewrite
the rest of it and leave a blank for
that wicked word, which some of
you worldly men can put in for
yourselvesP-Harper's Bazaar.

1t is now a well settled fact that
with but few exceptions the rang
es of Texas can no longer be re-
lied on to mature and fatten cat
tie and make them ready for mar
ket. Southern and southwestern
Texas, when the seasons are ex-
ceedingly favorable, still send TO
market during the early spring
months some pretty good fat
steers. Later in the season and
under the most favorable circum-
stances the Northern Panhandle
country may be relied on for a few
well fattened, good animals. But
in both instances the seasons must
be good and the cattle must not
be tormented by the "pesky third
party flies" Ia short, everything
must be favorable and even then
the territory that can be relied on
for fat cattle is limited and is be-
coming more circumscribed with
each succeeding year.

An EnglIsh Parsons rIsh,storr.


The Rev. b. T. Wethered writes
from Henley vicarage, MARROW:
Zone of my sons, an officer in the
army, while spinning for pike from
a skiff in the broad reach above
Newlock weir last Monday after
noon got hold of a large trout. He
was fishing with a small spoon bait
about an inch in length. After
some smart play my son managed
to bring it alongside the boat, and
his sister, who alone was with him
at the time, made an unsuccessful
effort with the landing net. The
fish once more ran the line out but
was again brought into close quar-
ters. On another attempt to get
the beauty into the net the triangle
at the base of the spoon became
entangled in the meshes, and after
regular tug of war, as they de-
scribed it to me at the time, the
fish broke the tackle and escaped.
My children had ample opportu-
nifty of gauging its size, and they
are confident that the length was
fully 36 inches and that it was pro-
portionately broad. A storm of
rain was raging at the time. As
an angler myself, 1 think you will
like to have this perfectly accurate
account" London Times.

The present site of Chicago was
sold by the Indians for three cents
an acre. Taking the most valua-
BILE corner lot in the business part
of the city as a criterion, the value
has increased 130,0O0,000 per cent.
In 1880, when there were fifty peo-
pie scattered around Fort Dear
born, a quarter of an acre of land
in what is known as the "heart of
Chicago" could have been purchas-
ed for twenty dollars. In the past
sixty-three years there we're only
two years in which the city did
not show an increase in population
over the previous year. But there
were thirteen years during that
time when this quarter of an acre
showed a decrease in value, ac-
cording to the real estate appraise-
ment. The greatest increase per
cent recorded was in 1885, when it
rose in value 400 per cent over the
value of the previous year. With
our latest knowledge of real estate
"booms" it is easy to picture tho
vision the owner must have had
of the future glory Of Chicago
when he raised the price of his
corner lot from $500 in 1884 to
$1,000 in 1886. Today the lot is
assessed at 81, 100000 Real Es-

Fighting Among Amorous Animals.


Among the lower amin sexual Sc;
lection prompts combats which often
end only with the death of the weaker
rival. Male black snakes are apt not,
only to kill, but to swallow a vanquished
competitor for the favors of dusky
charmer, and the champion bucks of the
oryx antelope use their sharp horns to
stab the pretenders who venture to chal-
lenge their supremacy. The males of the
yellow breasted pine mink have been
known to tumble out of high tree top
in the blind fury of their courtship COM
bats. The cocks of the Alpine mountain
grouse neither see nor hear in their eager
ness to demolish rival and have thus
been actually taken alive, struggling in
the very hands Of their captor-not to
escape, but to finish their work of venge-
ance.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Passing of tho Snake.

Readers of newspapers must have mo-
ticed that during the last five years the
breed of newspaper snakes has greatly
deteriorated in intelligence and general
accomplishments. Time was when Geor-
gia and Alabama snakes wriggled along
ON the tips of their tails and picked cot
ton buds, when they entered houses in
the nighttime and drained babies milk
bottles, when they grew to enormous
lengths and performed under proper
training many acts of domestic service.
All this is changed now. The reptilian
kingdom has experienced setback in
its progressive march toward intellectu-
atty. AS q consequence, newspaper
writers have been obliged to fall back
upon such commonplace animals as the
cat and dog.-Omaha World-Herald.
