Cannon,s Time Was Soon Up.

Representative Cannon of Illinois tells a
good story on himself 1t is reminiscent
of the days when "Sunset" Cox was in Con-
gress. The New York representative had
had something to say about citizen of Mr.
Cannon's State, and the Illinois man want
ed to defend his constituent
"Will the gentleman from New York yield
to me? ?" said Mr.. Cannon.
Certainly" said Mr.. Cox.
"For how long ?" inquired the speaker.
Gas long as the gentleman from Illinois
will keep his hands in his pockets" said
Mr. Cox laughingly.
Mr. Cannon accepted the terms and pro-
ceeded with his remarks. He uttered just
one sentence and a-half, and then his hands,
which had been enugly stuck into his peck
cts, came out and wore flying through the
air like Il couple of windmills
"Time's up" said Mr. Cox, who knew his
man, and then Mr. Cannon sat down.
Anybody who ever saw Mr., Cannon ges-
ticulate will appreciate the spirit with which
he tells of his first and only effort to talk
without the use of his arms Washington

A printer sat in his office chair his boots
were patched, and his coat threadbare, and
his face looked weary and worn with care.
While sadly thinking of business debt, old
Morpheus around him crept, and before he
knew it he soundly slept; and sleeping he
dreamed that he was dead, and from trouble
and toll his spirit had fed and not even a
c0w-bell tolled for the peaceful rest of the
cowhide soul. Aud as he wandered among
the shades, that smoke and scorch in lower
hades, he shortly observed an iron door that
creakingly hung on hinges ajar but the en-
trance was closed with hot iron bar, and
Satan himself stood peeping out, waiting for
travellers thereabout, and thus the passing
printer spoke:
"Come in my dear; it shall cost you moth
ing, and never fear; this is the place where
cook the ones who never pay their sub
scription sums; for though in life they may
escape, they find when they're dead it's not
too late. will show you the place where /
melt them thin, with redhot chains and
scraps of tin, and also where | comb their
heads with broken glass and melted leads
and fof refreshment they only think, there's
boiling water to drink; the redhot grind
stone to grind their nose and the redhot
rings to wear on their toes, aud if they men
ton they don't like fire, III sew up their
mouths with redhot wiFe and then dear
sir, yeu may see them squirm, while | roll
them over and cool to a turn"
With these last words the printer awoke
aud thought it all practical Joke but still
so real at times did it seem, that he cannot
believe it was all dream, and often he
thinks with chuckle and grin of the fate of
hose who save their tin aud never pay the
printer.

THE SOUVENIR SPOON.
The FavOrite. -

have on hand the old ST. George Chapel
Souvenir Spoon.
The ruins of old st. George Chapel are II
miles from Charles-Town and an object of in
terest. The Chapel is supposed to have been
erected as early as 1750-probably as late as
1850. 1t is mentioned in Henning's Statutes
at Large as one of the Chapels more costly
than many others. The site, which is on the
lands of Col II. b. Davenport, is supposed to
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. 1t is sup
posed to have been more elegant, hence more
costly than others, because It was located near
where many wealthy Church of England peo-
pie lived who would take pride in out-doing
their neighbors in the size and magnifcence
of their houses of worship. At any rate, the
present ruin was once grand in its time. The
walls were of stone quarried in the vicinity.
The other material is supposed to have been
brought from England. The roof was sheet
lead; the window and door frames of cedar
wood the floor in thing; the pews and pull
pit in oak-elaborately carved. The soft.
grey old walls in summer time are iyy-hung-
bnt the Chapel, as pictured in the bowl of the
spoon, is winter scene-the venerable pile
surrounded by leahess trees and the graves Of
the olden- time covered with the beautiful

4 Giant Tree.

The largest tree in the world lies broken
and petrifed at the end of defiIe in north
western Nevada. Its dimensions are so great
that those who know of its existence hesi-
tate to tell the story because they hardly
expect to be believed; hut there is sufficient
evidence to give the tale credit, improbable
though it may seem.
This tree makes the monarchs of the Mar
iposa groves seem like impostors, and COM
pared to it "the tallest pine grown on Nor
wegian hills to be the mast of some great
admiral" is but wand As for the story
of its discovery, it is thus told by Dad Lynn,
of Fresno, and supported by other equally
well-known people:
Back in 1860 accompany of about forty
five left Red Bluff to prospect the then I'M
known country beyond Honey Lake and
Surprise Valley There were in the party,
lawyers, butchers and shoemakers, but we
were one-sided on one point each individual
felt positive that this was the turning point
of his existence, and that bright, shining
gold in unlimited quantities would reward
the rather unpleasant jaunt.
"The Indians-we called them Bannacks
were at that time raising hair, and very
many sudden moves were at times necessary
to get rid of their unwelcome attentions
Finding but little gold in this section, we
travelled toward Baker county, Oregon, thro'
a country entirely denuded of timber except
few dwarf cottonwoods along the water
way. Close to the Baker county line We
came to an opening in the rocks, about wide
enough for our wagons TO go through, and
on either side loomed precipices 800 and 800
feet high The crevasse was about fifteen
miles long, and at its end, just to the right
of the trail, we found number of petrilied
tree stumps of different heights and sizes.
an their midst on the ground lay mon
ster tree, somewhat imbedded in the SOIL
1t was completely petriied, and, from the
clean cut fractures of the trunk, seemed to
have fallen alter It's petrliacuOn. Az us
butt this tree was quite sixty feet in dame
ter. We measured. its length with a tape
line. 1t was just 666 feet long. No limbs
remained, butin the trunk were clefts where,
apparently, limbs had broken off, Amber
like beads of petrfied pitch or gum adhered
to the sides of the trunk for distance of
100 feet or more.
"Where the huge trunk was broken square
Iy off the center seemed transparent, and
the growth marks showed in beautiful con-
centric inss. lis natural appearance was
handsomer than any dressed marble or mo-
sale have ever seen, and we all expressed
the opinion that it would make n wonder
fully beautiful floor and interior finish for
some grand building. San Francisco Er-
dnliner.
