Each In Turn Assumed the Aggressive In
an Amusing Fight.
There were three Of us in wagon
driving from Springdale, on the rail-
road, to Hunters Hot Springs. We had
forded the sloughs that during the sea-
son of high water in the Yellowstone
cut off the approaches to the bridge, the
water filling the wagon box and taking
the horses almost Off their feet at times
in the swirl Of the current. One of the
dogs from the hotel joined us ON terra
firma-a mild faced yellow cur, with no
fighting qualities. He was trotting along
on the road few rods ahead of the
horses when there came Looping across
the open country big coyote, making
straight for him.
Away went the dog, and after him
the wolf. The dog made stand and
took nip at the wolf. Then the wolf
ran, and the dog pursued, but as soon as
the dog had overtaken his enemy he
changed his mind about attacking him
and turned back. Now the wolf gained
the yellow cur clear up to the porch Of
the hotel at the springs. The party in
the team got good deal of fun out of
the novel turn about hunt
Mendenhall, the landlord, whipped
up the team, and we bounced along at a
tremendous pace, shouting, "Go it,
WOLFF and "Go it, doge' The landlord
yelled encouragement to Stub, the dog,
but Stub had no mind for tussle with
the sharp toothed. long nosed brute and
was happy to gain the shelter of the no.
tel The coyote trotted off across the
hills. "What things fellow will see
when he hasn't his gun with him' re-

Uttered the Famous Remark.
Flanagan of Texas" is name that
always brings up a famous question,
''What are we here for?" Whether in
New York, Chicago or San Francisco,
that name ON the hotel register always
brings crowd of people to see the man
who originated one of the most famous
phrases in American politics. The sem
tence has gone into history and become
part Of it. 1t was one of the memora-
BILE incidents of one of the most memo
rable conventions that ever assembled
in America-the Chicago national Re
publican convention which defeated
Grant and nominated Garfield. Ever
since then somebody in every conven-
ton, large or small, has arisen to ask,
"What are we here for?" Web Flana-
gan of Henderson, Rusk county, Tex,
is the man who said it first of all. To
writer for the Galveston News Flana-
gan told the story of the phrase. This
is the way he told it:
''It was in Chicago in $780, was
member from Texas in the national con-
| vention. When the committee on plat
form and resolutions reported, Barker of
Massachusetts, offered to insert plank
pledging the party to civil service re-
form. arose in my place and said:
| Mr. President, Texas has had quite
enough of civil service reform. Out OF
/, 800 offices in that state l, 900 of them
are filled by Democrats. We believe
that to the victors belong the spoils.
Every proposition of this sort comes
from states that are threatened with a
Mugwump invasion. Sir, the boys in
the trenches are demanding recognition.
Party service entities them to something
at the party's hands. They need the
offices, and, sir, what are we here for
but for the offices?' Immediately the
delegates and the galleries yelled. They
shouted till they were hoarse and it
was several minutes before the chairman
was finally able to restore order. The
next day the incident was in all of the
papers, and from then till now it has
been travelling around the earth. have
seen it in foreign papers and have heard
1t time and again in national conven-
tions since then. 1t was simply forci-
BILE way had of expressing myself.

chief claim to fame should be chance
expression in the confusion of a great

THE SEAS INVASION.
Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the Englis
Coast by the Rod.

Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.
The fiat marshes of Pevensey have
gained half mile since the days Of Ed
ward II, when the sea almost washed
the walls Of the castle that now stands
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened on the Romney flats,
where the ancient castle of Lympne has
receded mile or more. Such spots as
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows to the
lost ground of sea bottom. But on the
rocky parts of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
intrenchments that look SO resistless.
Under the waves lie tracts of bogland
that once upon time must have stood
well in shore, and Dunluce bears wit
ness to the ravages that have taken place
within few centuries, few ticks of
the clock as biologists count time.
The sea, ever washing and tearing at
its foundations, one day broke down a
considerable part of the castle, and sew
eral persons were killed by the catas-
trophe. This was in the days when
Dunluce was held by other tenants than
the birds. Then home and a strong
hold, now but memento Of past joy
and glory.
Another marked example Of the inse-
curity of rock defenses where the sea is
the invader occurs at Filey, on the
Yorkshire coast Only 30 years age
there was pathway running around the
ancient church of St. Hilda, which is
built on the solid rock. Now this is SC
broken away ON the seward side that
it is impossible. Another 20 years may
see the church undermined -Argosy.

A Hermit Suicides,

Parties who came In from Sun River
Sunday brought the news Of the suicide
of an eccentric individual named Robert
Coulter, who had lived the life Of a her.
init for the last fifteen years, residing in
a cabin near the headwaters of the Sun
river, and seldom having any commune
cation with anybody.
He seemed to have made deliberate
preparation for the tragic event, for he
left two notes in the cabin in which he
lived, one of them stating that he had
gone away for a few days, and the other
asking some kind-hearted person to
take the money in a pocket-book left
near the note and take good care OF his
cat. Having perfected these arrange
ments he went to another cabin about
a quarter of a mile distant and unoccu-
pied, and spreading out his bedding on
the floor he laid down with a winchester
rifle which no had previously cooked.
He placed the muzzle to his head and
with a stick with a nail driven into the
head Of it reached out and pushed
against the trigger. The bullet crashed
through his skull, blowing the top Of his
head off. The suicide probably took
place Friday. He was found Saturday,
and a coroner's inquest held at Augusta
brought in a verdict of suicide. No one
knew much about the old mans history
as he was very reticent about himself,
but it is said that he was a Union
soldier in the war.

Senators and Congressmen Advocate Aid
to the Nicaragua Scheme.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 19.-The Manufac-
sturers' Record of this week publishes
special letters from a large number Of
United States senators and congressman
giving their views upon the question OF
whether the government should give
financial aid to secur the early con-
btruction of the Nicaragua canal. The
etters are probably about equally d.
bided between democrats and republic
ms.
Senator Sherman of Ohio writes that
Ne is thoroughly committed to the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal and
Emphasizes the report made to the cen
ate in favor of government aid.
Senator Walsh Of Georgia says that
the Nicaragua canal is the greatest en-
terprise now before the business world.
He believes that it should be built and
controlled by the United States govern
ment.
