EX-Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, has a
new joke. 1t runs like this: Pat was
about to die. The priest had been called
and had administered the last services.
Then he said
''Pat, is there anything else you desire?"
yes" said Pat. 81 want to be buried

"Why. Pat" said the priest, why is

Million. of Cattle Dying In Africa

Within the past year and half a terri
BILE epidemic has destroyed millions of the
cattle of Africa and inflicted a crushing
blow upon the pastoral tribes. The plague
of 80 years ago worked great destruction,
but it cannot be compared with the pres
ent affection. No competent person has
yet reported upon the nature of the plague
and its remedy. 1t is only known that the
symptoms are debility, rapid wasting away,
and refusal of all food. The plague has
also practically eXterminated all the buffa-
loes in regions where they once roamed in
great herds.
The results of the epidemic have been
most disastrous in all the cattle-raising
countries of the Soudan, from the regions
south of the big northern bend of the
Niger river for 1000 miles east almost to
the Indian ocean. The first news concern
ing the plague came in letter written by
Capt. Monteil at Kano on Jan. last year
He said he first observed the plague in the
district of Iiptako, west of the Niger river,
and that he could say without eXaggeration
that not one animal in thousand for 800
miles along his route to Sokoto escaped.
Among several of the tribes the loss of
their cattle has been followed by the death
of the natives in great numbers. They
have little knowledge of agriculture, and
their herds are almost their sole source of
wealth. y greater misfortune than the
loss of their cattle could scarcely befall
them. 1t is certain that since explorers
began to visit inner tropical Africa no af-
Fiction has ever come upon the natives so
calamitous and widespread in its results as
the present cattle plague. The epidemic
is reported to be still spreading north and
south of its main route across the CONT
nent.

RETAINING YOUTH IN MATURE
LIFE

Not only does the vivacity, the en-
thusiasm, which belongs to youth
carry the man who retains it in mid
die age over difficulties, but it brings
him the sympathy and applause of
the world, which is sometimes refused
to more worthy men.
We honor Bacon, but we give our
affection to Charles Lamb. Washing
ton, jefferson, Adams and Webster
commanded the homage and venera-
ton of the nation, but it loved Clay,
Lincoln and Blaine, with all of their
faults.
The tendency of American life is to
force our young people into shrewd
adults, who try anxiously to rid them
selves of impulse and emotion.
1t is a common sarcasm among the
young that their fathers and mothers
enjoy jokes and are touched by senti-
ment which their children are quite
too old to care for.
But may not the fin de steele boys
and girls be losing an element of
strength when they forget how to
weep and make merry.

WOULD SEE HER LATER.

Coming over from the east side the
other day a university car was filled
with all sorts and conditions of passen-
gers, conspicuous among them being
a crowd OF jolly university students.
Opposite the boys sat hard featur-
ed female, evidently ON her way from
a meeting at the exposition. Next
her sat a bright faced woman talking
with a friend. Naturally the talk
drifted upon the subject of the revi-
val meetings, and the friend asked,
Il suppose you have been to some of
them ~ mo, l have not" the other
replied. II haven't had time" and
as she spoke she signaled the conduc-
tor to let her off the car. At her
words the hard featured female sit
ting next her quickly turned, and
leaning forward said in solemn tones
Haven't had time Will you have
time to go to hell - The car had
stopped, and as the lady reached the
door she hurriedly retorted, eff L
have, I'll see you later Then she
stepped into the street perfectly con
scious of having been able to squelch
a woman who didn't know enough to
mind her own business.

U4STING VALUABLE TINE.

An old farmer died in little village
in the neighborhood of Paris. His
fortune, the fruit of years of patient
toll, was invested in a nice compact
little farm. A nephew of the depart
ed, believing himself to be heir, called
a few days later on the lawyer, and
before saying a word about the sue
cession thought it only right and
proper to shed a few tears.
Poor uncle,' he murmured, so
kind. so atfectionate. To think that
| shall never see him again.
The notary allowed the young man
to give full vent to his sorrowful emo
tions, after which he quietly observed

WING THE LAST WORD.

A young girl once heard a bit of
wisdom from the lips of a very aged
woman-a woman who had rounded
the full term of 80 years, and with
eyes still bright and clear looked out
upon the inrolling waters of eternity.
The girl was impressed by the emphas-
is with which the venerable dame said
to her, Bessie, never insist on hav-
ing the last word" The determine
ton to have the final word leads to
more quarrels and more bitterness of
feeling at home than almost anything
else in domestic life.
The fact is that one may so control
her tongue and her eyes that she may
allow her opponent the pleasure of
this coveted concluding thrust and
yet placidly retain her own opinion,
and in the homely colloquial parlance
of the up country, where one finds
strong willed people living together
in great peace with the most pro-
nounced diversity of characteristics,
do as she's a mind tor
