Congressman Tim Campbell is not great
orator, nordoes he lay great claims to states
manship, but he is popular in his district,
and that is enough for him. So far as
known he has made just one campaign
speech, and that one still lives ia the mem
cries of his friends. The speech has become
famous. Ii was delivered when Campbell
first launched himself upon the turbulent
sen Of national politics by making q race
for congress in one OF the Irish districts Of
New York city. An Italian named Rinaldo
was his opponent in the campaign, and
Campbell made a speech on the national
and local issues" Here is Tins speech in
full:
"There is two bills before the country
the Mills bill and the Mckinley bill. The
Mills bill is for free trade, with everything
free. The Mckinley bill is for protection,
with nothing free. Do you want every
thing free, on do you want to pay Tor every
thing?
Having thus disposed of the national
issue, | viii now devote myself to tho local
issue, which is the Dago Rinaldo. He is
from Italy. I am from Ireland. Are you
in favor Of Italy or Ireland?
Having thus disposed Of the local issue,
and thanking you for your attention, Twill
now retire.
The speech must have been very effective,

In 40 rroneh ii 40 So.

Speaking Of the laundering of the Dean
Richmond remarked the mariner, "a boat
needs to be stanch to get into the trough
Of a heavy sea for any time without going
down.
"What do you mean by the trough Of the
sea2" inquired a member Of the kinder
garten class.
"a vessel is supposed to take heavy
waves head on, SO that itstrikes them with
its nose or bow and leaves them scurrying
astern," returned the sailor. when the
propelling power or steering gear becomes
disabled a boat drifts sideways before the
wind and therefore lies at length on the
crest Of wave Or in hollow Of two waves
instead Of having her length split up and
over two or more waves. This ia itselfmight
not make SO much difference ii the seas
taken broadside bore equally on all sides
of the vessel, but the TACT is that they are
not SO distributed. Part Of the sea is
likely to hit the stern and not take effect
on the forward end at the same moment,
SO that the boat receives q severe wrench
in responding TO the action of the water.
This frequently occurs until the craft is
torn asunder. Buffalo Express.

Vaatness, Isolation and Monotony Reign IN
abe Treciess Plain Stretches.
If there be any region IN the world where
the natural gregeiious instinct Of mankind
should assert itself, that region is our
northwestern prairies, where short, hot
summer IS followed BY q long, cold winter,
and where there il little il the aspect Of
nature to furnish food for thought. On ev-
cry hand the treeless plain stretches away
to the horizon line. In summer IL is check
cred with grainfelds or carpeted with grass
and flowers, and it Is inspiring III its color
and vastucss, but one mile Of it is almost
exactly like another, save where some wa
tercourse nurtures fringe Of willows and
cottonwoods. When the snow covers the
ground, the prospect is bleak and dispirit-
ing. No brooks babble under icy armor.
THERE'S no bird life afterthe wild geese and
ducks have passed on their way south. The
silence of death rests on the vast landscape,
save when it is swept by cruel winds that
search out every chinlE and Granny of the
buildings and drive through each unguard-
ed aperture the dry, powdery snow.
In such a region you would expect the
dwellingsto be OF substantial construction,
but they are not The new settler is too
poor to build of brick or stone He hauls d
few loads Of lumber from the nearest rail-
way station and puts up frail little house
Of two, three or four rooms that looks as
though the prairie winds would blow it
away. Were it not for the invention OF
tarred building paper the himsy walls
would not keep out the wind and snow.
With this paper the walls are sheathed un-
der Che weatherboards. The barn is often
a nondescript affair Of sod walls and straw
roof Lumber is much too dear to be used
for door yard fences, and there is no inelo-
sure about the house. A barbed wire fence
surrounds the barnyard Rarely are there
| any trees, for on the prairie trees grow very
| slowly and must be nursed with care tc get
q start. There IS saying THAT sou must
| first get the Indian out of thc soil before q
tree win grow az all, which means That

her crust. got her oustard compounded
and then vent to the cupboard for the
vanilla bottle TO flavor It, Grasplng, as
she supposed the bottle containing the
extract, she poured tho requisite quantity
in the cuataId, aud after filing the
crust-lined tins, put them In the oven.
After they were done they looked
so tempting that she concluded she
would try piece Tho first bite was
simply nauseating, the second one i'm
possible, so wondering what was the
matter, she made tour Of investigation
which resulted in the discovery that she
had taken her extract from a bottle of
laudanum which had been used for
toothache and accidentally placed on the
cupboard shelf, alongside the vanilla
The pies were consigned to the swlll
barrel. Her husband, TO whom she told
the story, suggested that there were
