Tho Evolution of a Statesman.

James Jinlts was born in 81, and when the
babe arrove
The wise old neighbors toddlod in and sat
around the stove
And said they reckoned that the kid would not
be worth blame
His father was trifling cuss; his mother was
the same.
They all agreed that Jinls' heir was born to
grief and woe,
And then they toddlod out again, the men of
Broken Bow.
The baby grew and grew and grew and throve
and throve and throvo
Until at manhood's high estate he gracefully
arrove.
None better knew to whittle sticks or whistle
"Belle Mahone,"
But if friend suggested work he'd only weep
and moan.
The wise men shook their hoary heads and
said, 81 told you So"
When links the younger loafed around the
streets of Broken Bow.
He took a farm at twenty-one and sowed lit
tie grain
And raised the finest crop of weeds that ever
graced the plain.
The burdoclc and the cocklcbur and Unison
all took root,
The only corn our hero raised was on his
ample foot,
And then he sadly realized that farming
wouldn't go
And drifted back to loaf around the streets Of
Broken Bow.
And then he bought little sheet and nodded
thought awhile;
The kind of thought he used to mold made all
his readers smile,
And so they called beseeching him to 20 to
Dr. Hay
And have his mental part repaired and solder
ed right away.
The sheriff took his fountain pen and closed
his moral show
And once again he loafed and loafed all over
Broken Bow.
He got a little country school and as a teacher
taught,
He took a little crossroads church and as a
preacher praught,
He tinkered for n month or two, repairing an
cient tins,
He opened up a barber shop and butchcrcd
peoples chins,
But failure roasted on his flag wherever he
might go,
And so at last he only loafed and loafed at
Broken Bow.
And as he loafed and talked streak, as loafers
always DO;
He said that Wall street kept him poor and
many others, too;
He knew just how the government should run
to do us good,
And so he talked and talked away while other
men sawed wood.
He talked so long, he talked so loud Of ruin
and of woe
That people came to think he was the sage of
Broken Bow.
We follow his career no more, the rest you
surely know
The man who failed at everything made money
out of Woe
He helps to run the government, and there are
folks around
Who say his great ambition is to run 1t in the
ground,
But still the wise men shake their heads and
say, 81 told you Sc"
And life, calm and peaceful stream, rolls on
at Broken Bow.

went into a restaurant ut Dcnnison for
lunch last night while the engines were be-

through he looked out across the street and
over a high fence to see his train moving,
Not q moments hesitation was taken, but
he started straightway, and thinking he
was travelling through the open air he ran
through the plate glass side Of the build

He Knew.

The $50 pupils of the Sunday school of
the Fifteenth Street Christian church had
gone through their lesson yesterday fore
noon, and most of the children were shift
ing their feet uncasily when Superintend-
ent Ernest Forbes announced from the pull
pit platform that Attorney W. O. Thomas
would make "a short address and then the
benediction would be said. Attorney
Thomas mounted the platform with a slow
movement and "a thoughtful air, and 500
eyes watched him as he fondlcd his chain
and remarked that he would say few
words about the damage that whisky
would do the brain when it was taken into
the stomach.
"Now," he said, "is there boy or girl
here who caH tell me what is the principal
constituent part of the human brain?'
That word constituent befuddled most
of the little minds present, but one girl
who attends the high school on weekdays
raised her hand, and said" Albumen."
"That is right, )" said the lawyer, cal
bumen forms the principal part of mans
brain. And now can you tell me what
forms the principal part of an eggY'
Tho same girl answered "Albumen"
again, and the lawyer looked pleased as he
pronounced the answer correct.

Wild Animal In the Connecticut House.

Major Kingman of Washington brought
a young woodchuck in his pocket into the
house of representatives yesterday morn
ing, before the session began, and asked
Mr.. Main of North Stonington, the author
of the 'plow logger" bill, if he didn't
think it was "plow logger" Mr.. Main
did not seem to be very sure whether it
was or not. A group of members gathered
around Major Kingman' s seat and watched
the little animal take milk from a bottle.
The woodchuck would hang on to tho
mouth of the bottle with both feet" as
well as with it's mouth, even when it was
swung clear of Major Kingman's desk.
The small creature was as docilc and play
full as n kitten and furnished much amuse-
ment to those in the hall of the house.
When Speaker FCssenden called the
house to order, Major Kingman slowed
the bottle of milk into one inside pocket
and the woodchuck into another and no
one would have known that avid animal
was in the house during the days session
except that Major Kingman's coat seemed
occasionally to vibratc with what looked
like very emphatic heart bcats.-Hartford
Courant.

He Fired Gun and Disconnected a Brit
ish Colony.

Capo Town claims the honor of giving
birth to the smallest creature ever known
to become a gunner in the royal artillery,
or any other artillery in the whole world.
At the castle, Cape Town, there is mag
niflccnt gun worked by electricity, used
for giving the midday and evening time.
One fine day all the military and civilians
in Cape Town were aStOnishCd to hear the
gun go off at 1920 in the morning, IL
hours before the proper time, II being the
usual hour for firing. Messengers came
from the general commanding the station,
the brigade major, commanding officers of
each regiment and battery stationed in
Cape Town and from everybody interested,
but the answer was that no person had
been near the gun, nor had anybody inter.

ton whatever. The general in command
of the station became furious and said that
there was mismanngcments somewhere and
gave orders for Il strict search to be made
by the officials for the guilty party.
Search was made, but nothing resulted
to throw any light on the extraordinary

were taken to solve the mystery. They
had practically given the search up, when
suddenly tho news camo from the officials
stating that the culprit had been caught
and arrested. 1t seems the electric current
for firing off the gun'is supplied by the
royal observatory of Cape Town and goes
there by means Of an instrument known
as relay that is in the central telegraph
Office of the station, the distance being
about 500 yards. Tho action of the current
going through the Instruments main
moves a sort of light tongue, which is very
finely set, so fine that the least little thing
would affect it. This forces the current
directly into what they term the time
fuses, which have the power of firing the
gun at the castle.
On examining the instrument one OF
the officials found big brown spider in.

ploring trip around tho instrument, the
unfortunate spider must have touched this
tongue sufficiently to move it, and conse-
quently it fired off the gun. The general
commanding the station sent the spider
to the Cape Town museum, where he is
now to be seen with n card underneath

Made Them Do Penance.

A strange attempt to enforce medieval
pcnnnco ended in row recently at Bis
land, in Cornwall, near the Lands End.
Two young men who had assaulted a girl
in the churchyard were told by the rector
that he would absolve them if they would
openly confess their crime and distribute
SO worth of bread at the church gate as
penancc. The scene within the church was
impressive; the rector sdmonished the Gull
prits and forgGvo them in behalf of tho
girl; the guilty men, on their knees, then
confessed in II loud voice and asked the
congregation to pray for them. When they
went out with the bread, however, the
crowd jeered at them and made Il rush for
the loayos, which it irrevorently ate with
noiasscs in the churchyard, hooting and

row. he continued, as he laid the
foreilngcr of his right hand in the palm of
his left, ''now to show you the effect of
whisky on the brain, suppose 1 break an
egg in glass. Are you listcning?"
Two hundred and fifty heads nodded
earnestly.
"Wcll, break this egg in q glass and
pour in some whisky on top of it. What
do l have then?'
Attorney Thomas expected the high
school girl to reply that the whisky would
turn the egg white and spoil it, but she
said nothing. He repeated his question,
"What would have if poured the whis-
ky in the glass with the egg?"
"EggnogP" shouted little fellow on the

A Daring Peruvian Indian.

The truth of the following anccdoto can
be vouchcd for:
An Indian montonero, alone, with his
rifle on his shoulder came out of San
Cristobal street to that of Pilcta de Santa
Catalina. On facing the fort of Santa Cat
alma and as he advanced in that direction,
rifles and mitraillcuse were fired at him,
but the fellow went on the even tenor of
his way, letting them blaze away at him
without touching his rifle or turning his
head, until he reached the corner OF Gen
eral street, where he performed right
about face, took off his kept and made a
polite bow to those on the fort who had
taken so much trouble to kill him.
The officer in command on Santa Gaia
lima was so impressed with the cool and
undaunted bearing of this montoncro that
he ordered his soldiers to give him n cheer,
and they did so.-Panama Star and Her

A Strnngc Village.

At Tcbessa, in Algeria, near the Tunis
frontier a strange mcgalithic village has
been discovered. At the foot Of shell
limestone cliff, half mile from the phos-
phatc mines, are many largo powders,
from 30 to 40 feet in circumference, which
have fallen from the cliff. These were hol-
lowed out into rooms about seven feet
square, and openings cut in the rock for
windows and doors. AS mcgalithic tombs,
large slabs supported on upright stones,
are near by, it is probable that these little
rooms were used as dwellings and not as
burial places.-New York Sun.

TALES OF THE TIMES.
How Lem Lawson Hooked an Otter With
d Split BambOO Rod.

How Lem Lawson Hooked an otter With
Split Bamboo Rod.
Since the trout began to bite readily in
the creek most of the men of Scabcrry Set
Element, n. Y, have been wading the
stream and taking out big trout. The odd
est catch of all, since Fred BOrsen hooked
and landed u crane two years ago, was
made yesterday by Lem Lawson with a
seven ounce split bamboo rod and trout
line.
Lem had used flies all day with fair sue
cess. Toward evening he saw grandfa-
thcr of big trout rise to his fly. Lem lost
the fish and could not induce it to rise
again. He went over to the long cove and
caught quarter pound dacc, and putting
it on u trolling gang Of sever hooks let it
swirl and tumble in the swift water. The
current bore it toward the Overhanging
bank across the creek, where the bait went
down in whirl. y moment later Lem
felt tug. Ho struck and the next in
slant was suro his fish weighed all of 10
pounds.
An otter had been lying under the bank
unseen, watching for fish. Whom it saw
LENS bait, it diyCd, and the next instant
it had three hooks through its lips. That
was startling and painful to the otter, and
it at once made off down stream under Wa
ter. LENS eyes bulgcd when he felt tho
full strain, and he put his best efforts into
saving that biggest fish oz ever growed,
by jimps" The otter at last had to come
up to breathe and Lem saw then what he
had hooked. Tho otter swan up stream
and down, divcd and twisted and jerked,
until, completely tired and half drowned,
it was drawn ashore, and Lem broke its
back with his landing net handle.
Lem could sell the skin for So, but he
would not take farm for it. lie is hay
