Something ora Liar.

II can't give any experience OF my
own" said the colonel, "but have got
ON old soldier liar here who can more
than supply my place." and the colo
mel introduced q middle-aged gentle
man with very red nose. "Talk about
men sacrificing themselves" said the
old soldier liar, II knowed case that
beats 'em all. 1t was jest after the
battle o. the Wilderness, an Grant he'd
all the able-bodied men drawn up in
line for review. As he rid along the
column the gin'ral noticed one Of the
men in the ranks that he'd but one arm.
Grant was sorter moved at the sight
and said; MY brave man, what are you
doing in the ranks with one armY Tho
loss Of one arm won't prevent me FROM
defendin' my country, gin'ral,' replied
the brave soldier, The gin'ral took
one of the medals off of his own breast
an put it on the soldiers, an then
said, There, my brave man, wear that,
an I'll see that you get full pension
for life, II you'd q lost both arms you
should a. had a double pension
What did the soldier say? asked one
of the listeners. Say? He didn't say
nothin', but the first chance he got he
took o saber and cut off the other arm. "

A Rnther Onte Lnndlord.

Nothing but travel, and extensive.
travel at that, will give person a
full idea Of the queer ways that there
are in the world. An American who
was not long since iourneying through
the Midland counties once entered an
inn rather pretentious for the place,
and called for turbot--a fav0rite fish
In those parts.
The American had had a few days
of dense fog, and his appearance and
manner, perhaps, showed that he had
become o little wheezy in conse-
quence of the climate. He was
forced to have frequent recourse to-
his pockethandkerchief.
When the turbot was brought the
guest fancled, even before 1t reached
his plate, that 1t was no longer fresh,
and an attempt to eat 1t confirmed
that impression. He called the pro-
prietor, who at once sent q waiter for
fresh turbot, and ordered him to re-
move the Objectionable dish immedi-
ately.
Il beg yer parding, sir, said the inn-
keeper, "but we got the idee, sir, as
you came in, that you had bad cold
In yer head, SIR"
"And suppose l had? What would
that have to do with my being served
with spoiled fish," exclaimed the
American, somewhat Indignantly.
"Heverythink, sir, We has this
rule In this 'ouse; Fish as is a leetle
doubtful like that ERE, sr--them
which has lost the SAVIOR Of youth, as
/ may say-them we serves to parties
as appears to ave colds In their eads,
sir, and we finds that, bein' as such
parties can't smell nothink, they likes
the fish just as well, sir, and hoften
they prefers 'eml"-Pearson's Weekly.

been planned by the Prince

an adjacent hill and spent
an hour there in sketching the con-

No Zulus were visible in the wide ex-

party descended the hill and at its
foot rested a while and ate luncheon.
About 3 o'clock the guide reported
that he had seen a Zulu entering the

statehood Cor oklnhomn.

Oklahoma is the newest OF the
Territories seeking admission as
States, but it seems to be better
qualified than either New Mexico or
Arizona. Its population, material
prosperity, and civilization, judged
by the report from the committee,
are all more in keeping with the dig
nifty of Statehood than its older
nelghbors OF the Southwest. This
Territory was organized only three
years ago, but 1t drew its population
from every section of the country to
make 1t one Of enterprise and pros
perlty. 1t Is an agricultural Terri
tory, and It's prosperity has, toen,
more marked In that line than In
any other, Before the public lands
were thrown open to settlement they
were heralded as the richest In the
Southwest The climate Is partic--
ularly congenial to the outdoor work
of the farmer, and these two facts.
easily account for the rapid advance
ment Of the new Territory and Its
demand for Statehood.
The report shows that there are
1872, 4S2 acres of land In farm use,
valued at Sl3, 022, 345, with S340, 761
worth of farm implements In use.
In the last year the farmers harvest
cd 2S4, 254 acres of corn, 222, 319s
acres OF wheat, 100, 374 acres of oats,
81, 81 acres Of cotton, Is, 1855 acres
of sorghum, IA, l2l acres OF Hunga-
rian millet, and 4,422 acres Of broom,
corn.
Oklahoma has a population Of $780,
900 (estimated) and 1t has more terri
tory than each of twelve States al
ready In the Union. 1t Is larger
than Rhode Island, Delaware, Con-.
necticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Mary
land, West Virginia, South Carolina,
Maine or Indiana. 1t is almost as
largo as Illinois and has population,
greater than any other State when
admitted to the Union. Its assessed
valuation of property In 1891 amount
ed to $6,S7S,028 and S13, 95l, 056 in
1893. There are six national banks
in the Territory, with deposits Of
1886, STA, and number Of private
banks.
The Territorial Legislature has
been prompt to provide facilities for
education, and there are public
schools with comfortable school
houses In nearly all the school dis
tricts while there are normal schools,
colleges, and an agricultural and
mechanical college at saltwater sup
ported by the Territory. In religion
there has been the same prompt
provision made, to show that 1t is
abreast of older civilization. There
are 1856 Methodist Churches Is Bap-

HE BREACHES IN HIS SLEEP.
Queer Case of SomnambulIsm of q Young
Ecclesiastlc In Seminary.

Queer Case OF SomnambulIsm OF Young
Ecclesiastlc in II Seminary.
One of the most remarkable puz-
cling stories of somnambullsm has
recently come to light. The subject
was a young eccleslastic at a semi
nary, The Bishop Of the diocese was
so deeply interested that he went
nightly to the young mans chamber.
He saw him get out Of bed, secure
paper, compose and write sermons,
On finishing a page he read 1t aloud.
When aword displeased him he wrote
q correction with great eXactness.
The Bishop had seen a beginning Of
some Of these somnambulistlc SER
mons, and thought them well COM
posed and correctly written.
Curious to ascertain whether the
young man made use Of his eyes, the
Bishop put card under his chin In
such a manner as to prevent him
seeing the paper on the table before
him, but he still continued to write,
Not yet satisfied whether or not he
could distinguish different objects
placed before him, the Bishop took
away the piece of paper on which he
wrote, and substituted several other
kinds at different times. He always
perceived the change because the
pieces Of paper were of different
sizes, When a piece exactly like his
own was substituted, he used it, and
wrote his corrections on the places
corresponding to those on his own
paper 1t was by this means that
portions OF his nocturnal compost
lions were obtained. His most as
tonishing production was a piece Of
music written with great eXactitude.
He used a cane for ruler. The
clefs, the flats and the sharps were
all in their right places. The notes
were all made In circles, and those
requiring 1t we're all blackened with
ink. The words were all written be-
low, but once they were in such
large characters they did not come
directly below their proper notes,
and, perceiVing this, he erased them
all and wrote them over again. Lon

Even the Humblest Farmer In japan Gan

One of the marked differences be-

The Origin of the jag.

Jag is brief but expressive and
unusually popular word, which has
obtained general vogue in modern
slang. The Century Dictionary de.
fines it: "As much liquor as one can
carry; as, to have Jag on; hence, a
drunken condition" This definition
is not adequate or satisfactory. A
Jag is different from load. When a
man has as much liquor as he can
carry easily 1t is lag; when he has
more than he can carry 1t Is load.
A jag is term Of intoXlcation; a
load Is pure drunkenness. A Jag can
be any degree from the happy condi-
ton of few drinks to the danger
point when the pOssessor Of the jag
knows that he must walk In a
straight line or stagger When he
staggers his jag becomes a load. The
words are not attractive, but their
universal use gives them importance.
This was recognized by DR.. Edward
Eggleston, the eminent historian,
who Is lecturing at the Peabody In
stitute, and in his interesting ad-
dress Tuesday evening he gave some
new information on the history Of
the word. In the last century most
of the inland transportation was done
by pack-horses. When he was visit
ing England last year he was in a
section OF the country where the
pack-horses are still used. The local
name for the transportation for this
method is tagging. A jag is a pack
horse load. So he found the same
use of the word In the early history
of this country. 1t is still heard in
some sections, and 1t has come to
mean part Of load. For instance,
II man brings to market quarter
or 0 half Of wagon load 1t is called

NaedOd No Helm.

There was no better, more loyal or
more fearless soldier than old Jack
Dublin, but he had one fault and that
was an overweening fondness for the
whisky bottle, or rather for the tents.
He had boon companion whose real
name 1 never knew, but everyone
called him Uncle ST. While in camp
old Jack was taken ill of fever, and,
despite the unremitting attention of
81, died. The corpse developed an
unusual rightly after death and o
strange tendency to fly up into a sit
ting posture. Accordingly on the
night before its burial il was stretched
out at full length upon a board rest
ing upon two wooden trestels with its
head and feet tied down by ropes.
Old Uncle 81 insisted upon watch
ing the remains of his dead friend.
Shortly after midnight he became very
thirsty and stepped out to neighbor-
ing suffers to procure drink Dur
ing his somewhat protracted absence,
two large cats found their way into
the tent containing the remains of
poor old Jack, and when Uncle 81 re-
turned he was naturally indignant at
seeing these felines sitting on the
corpse-one at the head, the other ut
the feet.
Selling a billet of wood from the
ground he aimed powerful blow with
it at the pussy sitting at the head. 1t
missed its mark and struck and severed
the rope holding down the head of the
corpse. which Immediately flew up in
to sitting posture. Selling the dead
man by the shoulders and forcing him
back into recumbent position Uncle
81 exclaimed in an aggrieved tone:
Darn ye, old man, lie down and keep
