Eun at the Table.

A man read in paper that the family table should always be the scene o. laughter and merriment and that no meal should be passed in the moody si- lence that so often characterizes those occasions. The idea struck him so ia vorably that when his family was gath cred around the table that evening he said:
 Now, this sort of thing uf keeping So mum at meals has got to stop. You hear me: You girls put in an tell stories an keep up some agreeable sort O talk, an you boys laugh an be jolly or I'll take an dust your jackets with a stick till you can't stand. Now, begin"

not had much thought of doing p,ti rr than 1 minutes 20 seconds for the distance The famous w. c. George during his visit on this side made minutes 2l 2-J seconds in 1882, and il wa not until nine years after ward that Tommy Conneff equaled the Der. formance in New York.
 To crack minutes q 2-5 seconds has been the ambition of all. No idea has slumbered in the minds of the fast men that minutes IS 2-5 seconds could be touched, much less improved upon. At Boston recently, however, Conneff placed the worlds amateur recOrl away behind him in the grandest performance seen upon the track for years. Not only did Conneff beat the American record, but he pulled of three-fifths of second from the world s amateur record and covered the mile in minutes 1T 4-5 seconds. Conneff had made up his mind that minutes 70 seconds would be about his gait, and he was the happiest man on the grounds when the official time was announced.
 Councils most formidable opponents on the track are c. w. Orton, one mile cham pion of America and Canada, and Willie Day, five mile champion of America Con neff recently defeated Orton in a two mile race and Day in four mile race, and he now may justly claim to be king of all distance runners. Connetf was born in Ireland, but has been prominept in Amerf- aAn athletics for six or seven years.

His Error.

The smart man was getting off train, when he saw couple ahead of him. who at once challenged his attention and in- dignation. The husband was walking of with his hands in his pockets while the wife carried baby and large bas- ket and valise.
 This was too much for the smart man, and stepping up to the overloaded wom- an he said:
 Let me assist you, madam, and seiz- ing the basket and valise he ran after the husband. whom he grabbed without ceremony.
 Here, sir, carry these things for your wife. I should think you would be ashamed to call yourself man and per init your wifc to bear all the burdens ;n this way. Let this be a lesson to you, sir, to-
 Hello" interrupted the stranger in dignantly, she aint my wife! never saw the woman in my life till now"
 At the same time the woman was shrieking at the top of her voice, Stop thief" And it took the smart mans ut most eloquence to convince the depot policeman that he was not a sneak thia' instead of self appointed reformer of other peoples morals and manners Detroit Free Press.

one of the prominent speakers in the

interested in the preparations for the
convention asserted that the senator
from Colorado could have attended the
convention and then reached the ma
tiOnal capital IN time for the opening of
congress. They concluded he did not
want to Oe figure in the Chicago body.
Judge William J. Kerr, delegate-at-

Cripple Creek, is one of the-most enthu-
siastic advocates of free silver. He
took occasion 10 defend Gov. Waite for
his utterances that, IF England forces

to the bride bits" which Mr.. Kerr de-
clared was distorted and falSihed in the
interest of the moneyed men.
He will argue before the convention
that the men in the West who made the
American desert bloom ana blossom as
the rose, and who planted the American
flag on the topmost peaks of the Rocky
mountains, became pioneers under
distinct contract that they should re-
ceiye the protection of the government.
