MISERY OF A CAMEL RIDE.

Sore Bones and Fall the Fate Which

There is something inexpressibly re-
polling in the supercillium triste of
camel as he looks scornfully at you
with his nose in the air, says a writer
in the London Spectator. But ] over

after receiving careful instructions how
20 retain my seat while the brute was
getting up. 1t was well enough while
nc walked, but when he began to trot
a brisk pace l dcvoutly wished myself
astride on humber animal. But how
was to stop him? There was no bri-
die, only a rope attached to the left side

ing my camel trot to the left. | had
been told that if | wished to make him
20 TO the right must hit him on the
eft side of the head with very short
stick, with which | had been provided
for the purpose. But that was more
easily said than done. How was |,
from my giddy perch, to reach the
creatures head across that long stretch
Of neck? l tried it and nearly lost my
balance for my pains-no joke at a
height of some ten feet above the peb-
bly, sand. One of the officers, however,
saw my plight, stopped, uttered some
gurgling sound, and then the camel,
exposing its teeth and protesting vigor-
Ously, knelt down, and l. dismounted,
vowing that never again would /
choose that mode of locomotion. My
deliverer, who exchanged his donkey
for my camel, laughed heartily at my
discontinue. But | had my revenge
speedily, for in the exuberance of his
gayety he allowed the camel to rise I'M
eXpectedly and was pitched head over
heels on the ground. lie was not hurt
and he joined in the laugh against him
self as heartily as he had laughed at
me.

and though his friends focked to the
sick bed, as is the wont of English
men, only too anxious to do anything
and everything, they constituted them

And after awhile people began to I'M

little wedding took place in the old
church at Noting Hill, don't think
that anyone was very much surprised.

Why Gen. Jim Lewis Did Not Rise ut the
Proper Time.
Gen. Jim Lewis, as he is Familiarity
called, is said by his friends to believe
in the efficacy of eccentric habits with
the fair sex, and many acts of smile
provoking character are told of him.
His most recent act in this line, accord
ing to the st. Louis Republic, occurred
short time since at dinner party
given by lady friend.
During the course OF the dinner the
general, SO the story goes, was noticed
to lean over and reach down toward the
floor, first on one side, then on the
other. The movement was noted, but
was thought to be only one of his pc
culiarities. At the close of the dinner,
when the ladies rose to retire and al
low the gentlemen to solace themselves
with an indulgence of good cigars, the
general did not rise.
This action produced an awkward
pause, and made the general the OBJ
served of all observers, noting which.
together with the look of inquiry and
expectancy with which he was re-
garded, he made prompt explanation t.
the effect that his remaining seated
was due to his shoes not being wholly
on his feet.
He did not, however, have to explain
that their not being SO was due to his
peculiar side movements at the table.

ease the pressure upon the supernu-
merary excrescences on his pedal APP

A horseshoe imbedded in an oak
tree was discovered at Albany, Wis,
by man with steam saw. The
horseshoe was entirely out of sight,
and caused considerable surprise when
the saw struck it. The shoe sometime

conducted upon Constitutional
grounds, although it may get down
to partizanship any hour. Although
it will not alter or postpone the re-
suit, the order under which the
House is acting making October 9th
the last day of the debate, the ab-
sence OF quorum of democrats at
times is enough to nggrevate the
party leaders and to justify the adop-
ton OF a proposition which has been
made, to keep a record of the abscn-
tees and to sec that their constituents
arc informed through the party pa
pers III their districts of every DAYS
absence without leave. This would
be troublesome to the Congressman,
but just to their constituents.
The House committee on Banking
and Currency after mature delibcra-
tion decided that moro information
shonld be obtained 10y the committee
before it reported any financial bill to
the House. In accordance with that
decision the committee has given
Representative Oates hearing on

to an argument by Representative
McLaurin in favor of his proposition
to issue 1925, 100000 in grccnbacks
to increase the currency in circula-
ton. The chairman of the commit
tee has been requested to obtain as
much Information rs possible from
the various State governments on the
subject of State banks.
The sensational statements con
! corning the nomination of Mr.. J. J

will doubtless be investigated bv the

tions before his nomination is acted
upon. no one believes that either
President Cleveland or cX-Sccrctary
Whitney was party to any promise
made to give Mr.. Van Allen this posi-
ton because Of his having made Il
large campaign contribution, and an
Investigation will probably show that
no such promise WAS made by any
body.

COMING TO TIME.
Chinese Who Want to STAY
Are Registering.
The Six Companies and the Store
keepers Are Undecided as to
What They Will Do.

The Chinese have at last concluded that
1t is useless to fight against the inevitable.
They have awakened TO realiZa ton of
the laet that If they wish TO remain in this
city and State after May they must register,
as required to do by the Geary act.
And they are now registering as fast as
the clerks under General McComb scan at
tend to them.
During two weeks previous to last Thurs
day the registration did not exceed ten a
day on an average.
But since then the little yellow men have
filed the Registrars Office, all anxious TO
''caichee papah."
As rule. Saturday is half day in the
Federal departments, but yesterday the Off
cials found that they had an all-day Job, it
being quite late before they had attended
to all the Mongolians who prefer taking
chances at making living In this State to
being the guests of the United States for a
limited period under certain restrictions
and then being transported to the Flowery
Kingdom.
An examination of tho records to date dis
close the fact that but few of the class styled
merchants Chinaman who peddles
shrimps or vegetables is according to some
people "a merchant'-haver registered
The majority of those who have placed
themselves on record are laborers or sea-
faring men.
Many Of the storekeerers are holding
back under orders from the Six Companies,
who are still endeavoring to raise fund to
light the Geary act In the courts.
Fund or no fund, the provisions of the act
will be put into operation on the 9th of MAY,
and the Chinese who are not by that date
registered according to law Will have to 20
to prison.
Many VIII have to suffer Imprisonment.
for it is claimed that there is not time be-
tween now and the 9th of MAY to register
the 0,000 Chinese who are in this district.
1t is thought that within week the Chi
nese storekeepers and the Six Companies
Will decide definitely what they will do.
