uelched Him.


The Hon. Patrick A. Collins. consul
general to London, some years ago
was presiding over a Democratic con
vention In Massachusetts,. in which
was an Irish delegate from his own
end of Boston, the proprietor of half
a dozen saloons and a thick, old fash
Toned brogue. He was very anxious,
for some reason, to get the floor, and
jumped up every time he thought he
saw chance for it, until he had be-
come a nuisance to the whole con-
vention. AT last, just as a committee
was about to report, he jumped up
again right in front. Mr.. Presidint,"
he shouted; "Mr. Presidint. Collins
raped sternly with his gavel, but
did not otherwise recognize him.
"Mr. President" he continued; "Mr.
President"
Again Collins raped vigorously,
this time turning his keen eyes upon
the obstreperous delegate with a
whitening glance. But instead of
whitening, it so exasperated the dele
gate that he shook his fist at the pre-
siding officer and yelled, "You, Pat
Collins, l want the fiurel" Collins
leaned right over the table at that,
shook his gavel at the disturber and
quietly but tiercely said, "Sit down,
you terrierP The terrier" prompt
ly took his seat, while the conven-
ton howled with delight. Texas

Queer Mode of Telling Large Trees.

A chain of compressed cakes of
gun cotton tied around the trunk of
the largest sized tree and exploded
will, by the action of their violence,
cut the tree down instantly and as
smoothly as though done by an ak
in the hands of an experienced wood
man. Timber cutters working among
the forest giants of Montana, Idaho
and Washington declare it to be the
cheapest and the most economical
mode of Telling trees that has as yet
been devised. Only experienced per-
sons with suitable electrical appara-
tus for exploding the dangerous ma
terial used in this operation should
attempt such short cuts in time and
labor saving.-St. Louis Republic.

A Cure For Ingrowing Nails.

1t is easier to prevent than to cure
ingrowing nails-cut them straight
across instead of oval. When, how
ever, a nail starts to grow in, soak
the feet in water as hot as can be en-
dured, loosen the cuticle, cut the
nail or the sides and apply little
perchlorate of iron with camels
hair brush. This hardens the flesh
and renders it impenetrable to the
new Mathew York World.

A horse stumbled on the granite at
Fourth and Jefferson streets yester-
day afternoon. There was a ring of
metal, and horseshoe with all the
nails in it fell in the street. AS this
little incident happened three super

street. They wore silks and looked
as if they might live in a fashionable
quarter. Nevertheless they were
superstitious, and away they darted
for that horseshoe fresh from the
foot of a fine animal. One got the
lucky shoe. The women were stran-
gers to each other, and Mrs. B. made
several persons laugh by asking Mrs.

granted the request. Then Mrs. c.,

easily they can protect themselves
and their children against the bites

to keep saturated solution of the

A Friendly Wasp.

Agentleman becoming annoyed by
'the persistent buzzing of wasp
about his head knocked it down with
his newspaper. It fell through an
open window upon the sill apparent
ly dead. Only apparently, for a few
seconds later to the Observers aston
ishment a large wasp flew on to the
window sill and after buzzing around
the injured one a second or two be-
gan to lick it all over. After this
treatment (Which may have been a
kind of massage) the sick wasp
seemed to revive, and his friend then
dragged him gently to the edge,
grasped him around the body and
flew away with him. Evidently the
stranger finding a wounded comrade
gave some aid partly to restore him
preliminary to removal to place of
safety for further treatment, and
then carried him there. This brave
little wasp acted like a good samari-
tan, who found a man half dead"
bound up his wounds, pouring on
them oil and wine" and brought
him to an inn and took care of him. {"

Go Slow, Bows.

Whenever word comes from Wash
ington that some old soldier has been
suspended from the pension roll, up
goes the cry against the democratic
administration, and the populists who
are blamed with helping them to power.
Old soldiers, especially these of repub-
lican faith, should not forget that the
greatest, the strongest, the most deter
mined demand for pension reform has
come from old soldiers themselves; nor
is it confined to the democratic party,
Or the peoples party. There is not q
better or more loyal republican paper
in the United States than the Chicago
Tribune which said:
''If those now IN charge of the Pen
sion bureau live up to the promises
they have made, no honest man will
find fault with them. n sincere friend
of the soldiers wishes person to be
given pension of 81 month because
he has lost his hair from typhoid fever
Or because he has corn on his foot, Oh
of S12 a month because, not being able
TO hear watch tick within two inches
of his ear, lac is held to be incapacitated
for manual labor. Nor will any FRIEND
of the soldiers object if men receiving
pensions on such grounds are deprived
of them. STERLING Champion.

BRO. ARMSTRONG of the Beacon last
week scored Rev. Enyeart for s'preach-
ing politics from the pulpit" in a recent
discourse in this city. The criticism is
just and well merited if Rev. Enyeart
took the position and made the state
ments credited to him by the Beacon.
Not necessarily because of his having
taken the "goid bug" position, posi-
tiou which most preachers who so far
forget the teachings of the Master as
to mix their sermons with politics take,
because their salaries are fixed and
they are not materially affected by the
financial stringency: but because poll
tics of any kind should have no place
in the pulpit. We rather suspect, how
ever, that Bro. Armstrong has jumped
into the fray too quick; for if we do
not miss our guess the pulpit Of Kan
sas, and particularly in the church
where the Beacon editor is a deacon,
will be the stump from which many a
prohibition and woman suffrage speech
will be delivered during the next
twelve months or more; and as the
Beacon is bound to champion both
issues IT may, IN the near future, be
called upon to defend politics (of its
kind in the pulpit. !"

A regular hurricane visited this sec

fairly good officer, and the county
affairs will not be in unsafe hands
when any of them are elected. With
one exception, all the candidates now
before the people are we'll known to
