4 Gum Chewing Fish.

Some years ago the writer of this article
was fishing from a boat in Mississippi
sound opposite Biloxi, when, growing tired
of piece of gum which she had been try
ing in vain to learn to like, she dropped it
into the water. What was her astonish-
ment when within the next half hour she
caught fish with this identical piece of
gum in its mouth. This is fish story, but
il is absolutely true, and not so very remark
able either when one remembers that there
were a half dozen lines hanging from the
boat at the time. each holding tempting
bait, so that the fish who had snapped up
the gum would be apt to linger near the
Turing snares and be eventually caught.
Surprising, though, that some one else
had caught this fish and found the gum, he
might have hastily concluded that fish of
this particular family-it was a catfish
were addicted to the very vulgar habit of
gum chewing, and if he had examined the
gum he would have further reasoned that
the fish had migrated from Mexico, as the
gum was a resinous sap of a Mexican tree.
Going still further, he might have sur
missed that as the fish obviously could not
60 on shore for the gum the gum must go
10 the fish; hence the tree either dropped
it's life fluid from branches overhanging the
sea or sent out into the water long sappy
roots, from which the catfish extracted the
gum.
All because woman thoughtlessly threw
q bit of chewing gum over the side of a boat.

Initiative Forms In Flowers.

Those who have given any particular at
tention to the study of botanical oddities
know that the Brazilian flower known as
the running antelope" is so called because
its white petals have series of well de-
fined dark colored lines and dots, in which
the imagination can readily trace the form
of an antelope, with its limbs outstretched
and head thrown back, seemingly fleeing
for it's life. In the 'caricature plant" one
species has the initiative form on the petals,
and another has it outlined in the ribs and
shading of the leaves This last mentioned
curiosity bears a remarkably well executed
likeness of the Duke of Wellington and
has on that account been named Arthur
and His Nose"
Among the orchids the initiative form is
entirely different in character, being ex-
hibited in the shape of the flower itself.
Some are exact counterfeits Of bees, butter
flies, moths, etc, while others take upon
themselves the form of worms and beetles.
Naturalists believe that in the first In
stance it is natures trap to lure other bees,
moths and butterflies, but the case of the
worm and beetle orchids, or those that are
exact counterparts of toads, lizards and
huge spiders, they do not attempt to ex-
plain-St Louis Republic.

Euloeies on Mayor Carter Har-
rison.

CHICAGO, October 3O.-The sun
shone brilliantly from clear sky
over Jackson Park to-day, but not
upon such scenes of gladness as have
been enacted there in the past. There
was no jubilee such as all have
counted upon for the closing day, no
congratulations, no demonstration of
any feeling except of sorrow and sad
ness. Chicago's grief was made evil
dent to all and was observed by all.
Flags that had been lowered for the
night were raised with the sun and
hoated laZily and 'gloomily at half
mast throughout the day.
The crowd, which grew steadily
with morning, was silent and still.
The music paviliJns about the grounds
were empty; the bands were silent.
The pageantry and speeches Of COLI
graduation, the glorious fiourishes of
fire, which had been intended to an
nounce the exposition's close, had all
been abandoned. All that was left of
the ceremony was the lowering of the
United States flag at 8 o'clock and the
solemn boom of cannon.
The proposed Festival Hall jubilee,
in which representatives of all the
nations of the earth were expected to
participate, was turned into a mourn
ers' meeting for eulogies of the city's
dead. The exposition was over. 1t
was allowed simply to expire without
the Haunting of banners or the fanfare
of trumpets. The limit of its existence
had been reached.

Don't Ask Pointed Questions.

There is n point of etiquette which is woe
fully and very often abused. That Is the
asking of pointed questions. No one has
any right to demand information OF anoth-
er whose interests are not very closely In
tertwined with the inquisitor and connect
ed with the inquisition. But it is thing
that many good and kindly people are most
careless about, simply from want of
thought, far more than the apparent curl
osity 4 proper interest is one thing; lead
ing questions are quite another thing

He took the hair oil bottle, poured out

Then he put the bottle back in its accus-

proprietor of the store he asked leave to use

Whereupon the old gentleman started in

rubbed it thoroughly over his head till his
hair was completely saturated with it.
Then he carefully combed and parted his
somewhat long locks, and placing his old
stovepipe hat squarely on lis head he
passed out. wishing the proprietor pleas

He was seen again after several days by
the druggist, but it was not in the drug

In most of the States whe.e elections
were held last Tuesday the Democrats
were badly beaten by the Republicans.
Owing to thirty years of Republican
been hard and growing harder and
harder continuously. A year ago the
people turned to the Democratic party
for relief In its platform promises
they thought they saw CLEANS of the
light of better day. They placed
their confidence with that party sand
voted it in and the Republican party
out. But as soon as the Democrats
assumed control at Washington the
same old gang of Shylocks and blood
suckers who ran the Republican party
to suit themselves precipitated money
panic and intensified the widespread
feeling of discomfort resulting from
years of class legislation. The result
was the calling of an extra session of
Congress and the reputation by the
Democratic President and his lieuten-
ants of one of the party's pledges dear
est to the hearts of the people. Disap-
pointed and amazed at this, doubtless
thousands of Democrats in the States
that voted last Tuesday stayed away
from the polls or voted against their
party. 1t they did this is it any won
der? If the party they put their conf
dence in year ago will go back on
one of its promises to crafty the Gold
Bugs what guarantee have the people
that it will not violate its pledge re-
garding tariff reform to please the Tar
iff Barons? Messrs. Cleveland, Car

stars that they didn't have the oppor-

than they did this year.-Jacksom Cash

other case was at the north end of the
Valley, and occurred about ten days
ago, The woman had been confined
some three or four weeks before, and
consequently was in a condition to

after abusing her with all the power of

for her life, the poor woman sought to
escape through door. but he jumped
between her and the place of exit and
locked it. Thereupon she jumped out

and obtained refuge at a neighbours.
