EVERYONE remembers Sir Boyle Roche's celebrated inquiry in the house of com mons when a measure was up looking to the advantage of posterity: "Mr Speaker, I object, and demand to know what pos terity has to do with us." The mistake of the celebrated bull maker is not e whit more ridiculous than many make as to their ancestors by people who should know better. The prince of Wales should know the history of his own family. yet on one occasion he spoke of Queen Eliza b-th-"ths virgin queen of the tories-as his ancestor. The German kaiser has just made Q similar blunier. In writing to the Carlyle committee of London, who had appealed to him t, help establish a memorial to the memory to the author of the best history of Fr, derrick the Great, he said: Il am my self descendant of the great Frederick Az the great Frederick died without children and was succeeded by his nephew, the ksisers claim shows either ignorance of the English language or of German history.

 ness of death was on his brow he got up an licked all de chillen an frcwed his wife frew winder. Reckon we'll drap de resolushun in de stove an keep quiet bout luv and dovoshun.
 "De fo'th pusson to succumb was Brud- der Pizarro Greene of Kaintucky. De pre- amble says he was tired of airth and longed fur paradise. Dat was purity nigh what ailcd him. He was so tired of airth dnt he hadn't dun a stroke of work fur ober 20 y 'ars. He died bekase he was too lazy to walk from under n shed dat he knowcd was gwinc to fall down on him. As to whether he longod fur paradise or not I can't say, but if it was any work to long ho wasn't in it. It won't lo any hurt to pass de rcsolushun an send a copy to his widder. If it doan' fit her case, she kin gin 1t to some other widder.
 "De fifth m last name am dat of Brud- der Riseup Cabiff of Boston. De preamble says de world was dc better fur his Twin in it. Dat may be true, but know fur a fact dat if q grocer widin five miles of his house left n watermillyon or O smoked ham outdoahs arter 10 o'clock 1t needed a man an Q gun to stand Brudder Cabiff of. How many times he was mar'd, widout bein widower or a divorced man, nobody kin rightly tell, but his Twin wives count ed up seben at last reports. He was maxim call on a widder, probably hevin mo- matrimony in view, when he fell through a trapdoah an was mortally injured. Beck on we'll jess light a pipe wid dat pream ble an resolushun. Dey wouldn't soothe Brudder Cabiff's feelin's any if we passed lem, while his ten or 'leven wives might sorter hold dis club morally an legally responsible fur all funeral expenses.
 tHnat aNhanSfG 6a list my fran's naath swung his scythe, an our brethren war cut down as grass. We am sorry fur it, but dat am about as fur asNve kin safely go. We'll hang de usual emblem of mournin on de doahknob, enter a record in each case an take de lesson home to ourselves. If we do not so live our lives dat our feller men kin tell the truth of us arter we hev passed away, an dat same truth doan' scan- dalize us, den We hev only ourselves to blame. De meetin now stands broke in two fur ono week.

Tn Commenting Upon the Death of Five
 Members He Plainly Shows That While
 They Were An Honorary They All Had
 Their Failings.
 ICopyright, 1895, by Charles B. Lewis.l
 "My fren's," said Brother Gardner as tho routine business of the regular meet ing of the Limekiln club had been dis posed of, death has bin busy among our members since do last mcetin. We hev lost no less dan five honorary members, an de secretary seems to hev prepared a resolushun to fit ebery case. Dc fust name on dc list am dat of Brudder Step- back Johnson of Tennessee. hev de full perticklers of his death in n letter from a man who knowed him. De preamble in his case says dat ho was an honest an up right man an widout reproach. Dc reso- lushun am slightly of its hinges. Brud- der Johnson luved bacon. When the shades of night descended upon de stait of Tennessee, he would wrap his toga around him an sot out to look fur bacon. If dar was any widin ten miles of his humble but virchuous cabin, be found it. It pears dat do owner of a sartin smoke house sot a spring gun to purtect 1t. We can't say dat our dear departed brudder called at dat smokehouse to rob it. It am mo- likely he mistook 1t fur steamboat an opened dc doah to ax de captain a queshun. When he opened dat doah, do spring gun went of, an it hain't nt all likely dat Brudder Johnson knowcd what hurt him. He war hit by hull handful of buckshot, an when dey found him his speerit had winged its flight. We won't pass no resolushun in his case, but jess feel sorry dat piece of bacon weighin five pounds was found in his hands arter death.
 De second pusson to fall beneath do scythe of de reaper was Brudder Shutdown White of Varginny. De preamble says he was a man widout guile, an of sich ar de kingdom of heaven. I dunno bout dat My informashun in his case am to de ef- feet dat a ton of tobacco fell on him in de night. It was in 0 tobacco house two miles from his cabin, an he had broke de lock to git in dar. It may be dat he was walkin in his sleep, an it may be dat he went in dar to see man. AS we shall never find out, we will put de resolushun under de table an offer to contribute g to- ward de headstun which his widder will likely erect.
 "De third pusson to enter de valley of de shadder was Brudder Rambo Davis of Ohio. l knowed Brudder Davis fur many y'ars. De preamble in his case says he was 0 devoted husband an a luvin ladder. If he was doan' know it. lived next doah to him fur seben y 'ars, an doorin dat period had to climb ober dc fence bout 50 times an mop de airth wid him fur lickin his wife. She has writ me regardin his last hours. He cum homo one eavenin arter losin $2 on a hoss race an kicked at de dawg. De dawg dodgcd, an Brudder Davis kicked a nail an died of lockjaw.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
An Firing Professor Who Was Fift
 Years Ahead of His Time.

An Firing Professor Who Was Fifty
 Years Ahead of His Time.
 HE SEATED AwAY.-Two weeks ago, when Professor Fairchilds D. Iancy reached this town and gave out that he in- tended to establish a roller skating rink for the winter. we sent him word to please call at THE KICKER office. He called, and we found him to be a we'll dressed man who parted his hair in the center, waxed his mustache and wore the habitual smile of an end man. He informed us that he had leased the old stage stables on Chip pewa street and would expend $500 in fit ting up a rink, and that he had assurance of successful season We put on our most fatherly demeandr and advised him to abandon his enterprise at once. He was warned that he didn't know our people and was preparing for calamity. We got down our county map and pointed out the spot where a dancing master was planted last year, the route taken by the chap who hung out his manicure and chiropo- dist sign, the wilderness into which the chicken incubator man disappeared never to be heard of again. It was no use. The roller skating professor was sot in his ways and bowed himself out to go on with his enterprise.
 Saturday night last there was a grand opening of the Palacc Skating rink All though we dropped in at an early hour VIC found the place crowded. On the front seats, as usual, were the 40 or 50 men who wear a gun on each hip and decide the fate of public entertainment. We had only to look into the faces of half dozen of them to realize that Professor Lancy would fail in his project of crowding the twenty-first century into the basket hold ing the twentieth. No one was saying anything, but every mans face wore a hard and stony expression.
 We found the professor in his dressing room and plainly told him that there was going to be a thunderstorm and a stam- pede of the herd, and h. was likely to be the only one hurt He was still sot. We were politely informed that he knew his gait, and there was nothing left for us to do but to retire and wait for events. Ten minutes later he appeared in fancy cos tune and began his exhibition. He had cut just one single pigeon wing when old Jim Hewson, who invariably leads the shooting at public performances, pulled his gun and fired. That was the signal for a general fusillade. The rollers were shot from under thosa skates before the professor could count ten, and as he gath cred himself for flight the bullets were clipping his boot heels and carrying away
