Where Authorities Differed.

The reading class was standing in q
stiff row upon the floor of an Indiana
school-house, and a bright little fellow
was drawing paragraph about a
Roman massacre.
The president of the school board
was present on his regular tour of in
spection, and he pompously requested
that the boy read that verse again. 3"
The verse" was read again.
"Ah! hm!" said the great man, in a
loud voice. why do you pronounce
that word massa- kerr"
The boy was silent.
1T should be pronounced massa-
kre," continued the great man, with a
patronizing smile.
The boy remained quiet but the
teacher finally spoke:
Pardon me. SIR" she said, "but the
fault Is mine if the word was r,ispro-
nounced. | have taught the class to
pronounce it 'massa-ker.~
But why?" insisted the great man.

look Of pain upon his benign features.

pronunciation" said the teacher.

The dictionary was brought. and
the president of the school board
turned over its leaves until he found
the word. There was breathless ST.

at last, that Daniel Webster should
have made such mistake as that

Nathaniel Hawthorne's Shyness.

two men never spoke TO each other in

corded in his journal how Tennyson

minute and elaborate description Of
him, showing the quickness and keen
ness of his observation.

THURSDAY. IIIRUAR 3, 1893
MAR IN KANSAS.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. Is The Republic
an hOnse is still besieged IN representa-
tive hall and force Of state militia is
still posted around the capitol. Col
Hughes has again declined to obey the
governor S orders to eject the Republicans,
and the only resource the governor has
besides the regular militia, are three com
panies Of PopulIst provisional troops.
Should the governor order them to eject
the Republicans they would doubtless
attempt to do So Col. Warner, who has
planned Republican campaign, says OF
these provisional troops: They are the
governors pet lambs. We are wolves now,
and would devour them if given the OPP
portunity to do So"
No overt action has yet taken place
though Gov. Lewelhng still asserts pos
itively he viii drive the Republicans from
the hall at the point of bayonets. The
Republicans assert with equal positive
ness they will resist election even to the
use farms.
The city is black and blue to-day
black with people who have come to see
the fun" and blue with troops. Every
train arriving for the past twelve hours
has brought additional troops, and Re
publican and Populist volunteers, armed
with all sorts OF weapons, anxious to
take hand Is the fight. Soldiers sur
round the capitol and guards are at every
entrance to prevent anyone from enter
ing without pass from the governor,
countersigned by the adjutant general.
Sheriff Wilkerson Is swearing in a
posse of LOCO men, ostensibly to pre-
serve the peace but it IS generally be-
lieved TO sport the Republicans in their
position. A conflict may take place
when the posse is put to work.
As a result ola conference between Col
onel Hughes and Sheriff Wilkinson, the
latter has announced he will take charge
of affairs, and will raise the seige of the
Republican house. The state militia have
decided to obey his orders as peace Off
Ger. This, of course, has eDgthened the
Republican position as 1t gives the sheriff
about all the armed men In the city. in
Guiding as 1t does. the militia and his
thousand armed deputies. 1t is not
known what the Populists' next move
will be but they seem powerless.
1t was decided that it would be dan
gerous TO put fire arms into the hands OF
the sheriff posse, so 500 base ball bats
all there were in town, were secured and
given to the men, the remainder being
armed with sticks.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. H. The battle flags
are furled The state troops have been
sent home. The armed posse of the dep
uty sheritfs has been disbanded. Re-
publIcans and Populists have LAID down
their arms. The war is over. The threat
ening perls OF the last four days have
been ayerted and peace again reigns su-
preme throughout Kansas.
The Developments of the day are re-
garded on all sides as q decisive victory
for the Republicans. Even the Populists
with chagrin and openly expressed indig-
nation at what some OF them call the gov
errors weakness, admit that the Repub-
licans have triumphed for the time at
least.

SNOBRERY It's OWN REWARD.
The Story of Story Which Reporter
Did Not Report.

Snobberv is its own reward IN an
EN- barrassing way for the snOb very
often, and no enc sees more frequent
illustrations of the fact than the re-
porter.
have in mind little comedy of ar
evening last week, SAYS writer in the
y. Y. World. A man whose name had
been in print now and then, because
once he held a petty public office, was
concerned in an action at law by which
his landlord sought to recover arrears
of rent. The petty ex-official is dap
per little fellow of some social preten-
sions. A reporter was sent to him for
particulars of the landlords action.
The door bell at the brown stone
where the little ex-oflicial lives was
answered by boy in uniform, liber-
ally brass buttoned. Young Buttons
bore the reporters card TO inner re-
gions at the rear of the hall, whence
through an open door. came sounds Of
a dinner party. Also the following.
after Buttons had brought in the card:
a reporter. What the deuce can
the fellow want?" This in the tones
of the eA-otficial lord and master.
"What! A horrid reporter.' in a
feminine voice, evidently that of the
lady of the house. Don't see him,
dear; send the boy back to ask his
business"
please say" observed the reporter
quietly, when Buttons brought back
the message, that | WAS sent about
the landlords suit to recover rent"
Buttons marched back and an in
slant later, in a voice that could be
heard all over the house as well as by
all the guests, came the announce
ment:
He wants to know why yer haven't
paid yer rent and are bein' sued fer
it,"
In half the time it takes to write it
the ex-oificial little snob, his face alb
normally red from contrast with his
evening dress, was out in the hall.
MY dear SIR" he spluttered out, 81
really must beg your pardon. l didn't
,, understand" etc, and then in stage
whisper he explained that "it was all
a mistake" about that suit for rent;
merely Misunderstanding" "would
be amicably adjusted" and much more
in the same strain. When the re-
porter, after listening courteously, had
obtained the necessary facts, he re-
turned to his Office and wrote an insig-
nicant paragraph about the matter
and, of course, without reference to
the comedy of the evening.
The reporter will be as surprised to
read all about it here as will the ex-
official little snob.

This morning she told baby to kiss

then she turned away and broke into
low sobs that she tried to hide from
