The Nile by Night.

VI Isuppose no professional globe trot-
ter is ever satisfied" said James 7.
Hurd of New York, without sojourn
in Alexandria and voyage of four or
five weeks up the Nile. The river itself,
l must say, did at first sadly disappoint
me. We Americans are apt to be rather
exaoting in the matter of rivers, nat
urally enough, considering the beauty
and grandeur of our own. When saw
the strong stream in the hot sunshine,
looking like floating mud rather than
water, hated to believe it the Nile of
my dreams. Beauty, majesty and pow
er, not utility, were what l wanted to
see in the historic river. But when the
sun went down and the moon gilded,
not silvered, the stream, then it became
indeed the river of my imagination.
The unsightly banks, which by day were
steep walls Of black mud, like huge un-
baked brick, became picturesque and
even beautiful, with waving groves of
palm and fields of grain. st Louis

"WHAT ARE WE HERE FoRW
Web Tlanagan's Own story of How He
Uttered the Famous Remark.

Flanagan of Texas" is name that
always brings up q famous question,
"What are we here for?" Whether in
New York, Chicago or San Francisco,
that name on the hotel register always
brings a crowd Of people to SEQ the man
who originated one of the most famous
phrases in American politics Tho SEN
tence has gone into history and become
part of it. It was one of tho 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-
tion, large or small, has arisen TO ask,
"What are we here for?' Web Flana-
gan of Henderson, Rusl1 county, Tex,
is the man who said it first of all 10 q
writer for the Galveston News Flana-
gan told the story of tho phrase. This
is the way he told it:
''It was in Chicago in 1880. / was o
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. l arose in my place and said:
Mr.. President, Texas has had quite
enough of civil service reform. Out of
1900 offices in that state 1000 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. l have
seen it in foreign papers and have heard
it time and again in national conven-
tions since then. It was simply forci-
BILE way l had of expressing myself. l
never had the slightest idea that my
chief claim to fame should be chance
expression in the confusion of great

A French Duel.

If the French are prone to challenge
each other to fight duels on the smallest
provocation. they are also prone to
bring them to an end with very little
fighting.
It is credibly related that. on the oc-
casion of a duel between two members
of the chamber Of deputies. one of the
combatants was taken with a fit Of
bleeding at the nose Just as they came
upon the field.
"Blood" exclaimed one Of the seconds
of the other man. BLOOD has been
shed. The honor Of my principle has
been satisfied"
And the parties and their seconds
thereupon gravely left the field.
