made a very profound impression upon
his mind The speaker was no other
than Champ Clark
( No one asks now, Who was Champ

| We had number Of speeches, and the
children were very tired. I can t speak
for the grown people, because the good
Democrats there would not have owned
to being tired, know, after such a dis
play of eloquence from their great party
leaders. At any rate was tired, but my
mother whispered:
'"There is only one more speech, .
and was much relieved. "A blond young
man was introduced as Champ Clark of
Pike county. He came forward with a
pleasant face and manner that at once
attracted my attention. He began in
this way: RI. 3

of the house announced that the visitors
had come to dinner. There was no room
at the table for our young friend, the
sportman, and he waited, with his eyes
anxiously fixed on the dish of possum.
The guests had good appetites. Finally
there was only one piece Of possum
left, and one of his own family took
that. Then the postum lover busted
right out a-crying. The disappointment
was too much for him.

heard the first speech, thought, we'll
that is pretty bad, but still have some
thing left to say. Then there came the
next speech, and the next, and when the

But there was, and he said it too.

IN THE AMPHlTHEATER,

A Contest Before King Herod and Pom
thus Pilatus In Jerusalem.
On one Of those days he went to the
amphitheater, the circus which Herod
the Great had built, at some distance
from the city. He paid for seat in one
Of the upper galleries. On the tiers Of
seats below him were all sorts of people,
and far away, on the opposite side of the
vast arena, the sandy level in the mid
die, he saw, in the lower tier, canopied
place that was furnished magnifcently.
In it there were throne seats, and on
them sat King Herod Antipas, Pontius
Pilatus, the Roman governor, two Ro-
man generals, with other distinguished
men, and number Of richly dressed
women, some of whom wore brilliant
tiaras or coronets upon their heads. He
stared at them for few minutes and at
the tremendous throng of people, but
after that he thought only of what was
going on in the arena.
There were chariot races, and Cyril
could not help being intensely excited by
the mad rush of the contending teams,
while all the thousands who looked on
shouted and raved. After the races,
however, came scenes some Of which
made him shudder. There were foot races
and boxing matches, but these were soon
over, and then there were contests be-
tween pairs Of swordsmen, spearmen,
clubmen, and the like, in which the
fight went Oh until one Ct the combat
ants was slain. Close upon the last of
these duels, bands of gladiators marched
in from opposite sides Of the arena and
charged each other like detachments of
soldiers upon real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desper-
ate, but one side was soon beaten, for
the parties had not been equal. One
party had been trained warriors, pro-
fessional gladiators, and the other only
common men, captives taken in recent
raid of Pilatus' soldiers upon a wild
tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were
brave enough, but they were put there
only to be killed for the amusement of
the great men and Of the multitude. So
were the poor victims with whom the
days exhibition closed, for they were
driven into the arena, half armed, to
contend as best they could with num-
Der Of hungry lions, tigers, leopards and
hyenas, which we're loosed upon them
from their dens under the tiers of seats.

for the dollar trick, saw my young
confederate sitting open mouthed in the

member of the audience to lend me a
dollar marked exactly as was that I had
given to the boy.

the orange, cut the fruit open, and out
dropped the coin. Then I went on:

going anywhere near him, I will pass
the same dollar, marked, as you have
seen, into his right hand trousers pocket. ,
True to his bargain, the boy stepped
to the stage. I stepped opposite him and
asked: a-

A MAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.
Surprising Experience In Car of q Il
Who Was Headstrone.

Surprising Experience In Car of a Boy
Who Was Headstrong.
A poorly dressed woman with boy
about years old boarded one Of the
Union Trolley company's cars in White
Plains avenue recently. There was no
vacant seat, and she grabbed a strap in
front Of a young man and prepared to
hang on. The young man got up and
tipped his hat to her. Quick as flash
the boy dropped her hand and leaped in
to the seat on his knees, taking care to
wipe his muddy feet on the clothing of
the passengers on either side. The young
man looked first at the woman, for
whom he intended the seat, and then at
the boy. The woman shook her head
and said: ..1. "
'.Poor boy! Iguess he's tired. He can
have it. SIR
The young man looked from one to
the other again. He shifted about un-
easily for moment. The other passen-
gers in the Car giggled. That decided
him. Holding to strap with one hand,
he reached for the boy with the other
and got him by the nape of the neck.
He lifted him clear Of the seat and held
him dangling and kicking in the air.
The woman was about to protest. Then
she thought better of it and sat down in
the vacant seat. -. III
MADAM said the young man,
throwing the boy at her, "here is your
boy"
''Thank you, SIR, she said. ''He is
a bit headstrong, it's true, SIR
The boy looked astonished. He whim-
pered little. The woman patted him
on the head, and there wasn't peep
heard from him from that time until
the Harlem bridge was reached and the
crowd got out.-New York Sun.

That you can chain us to your side
Where all our strength and manly pride
Are but for your delight?
Oh, woman with the faultless face,
The red, red lips where dimples chase
Each other to and fro,
Oh, do you know your countless charms,
The swelling neck, the rounding arms,
The form poets wish,
The hand SO tapering and white,
The foot SO slim and wee and slight
And fairer than the snow?

You charm us to obey your viii,

FOUNDING THE KONGO STATE.
Explorer Stanley Tells In Brief the Sto
of the Great Enterprise

Explorer STANLEY Tells In Brief tho Story
of the Great Enterprise.
During my descent of the Kongo I
had revolved over and over in my mind
the question of the destiny Of the river.
Seated at the Prov Of my boat, which
led our fotilla, and daily watching the
river developing itself, I was preoccu-
pied with these thoughts every leisure
moment. There was, it seemed to me,
no other power but England that could
interest itself with this part of Africa,
and, as I said, there was not single
white man in possession of any portion
of the equatorial belt except at the
mouth Of the Kongo, where few trad
ers had gathered. But despite the nu-
merous addresses in England upon this
subject failed to awaken more than q
geographical interest in equatorial A.
RIGA. The terror of the African climate
in general was too strong upon every
body.
Elsewhere, however, the reports Of
my addresses in the English newspapers
were taking effect. After nearly nine
months busy life in England the king
of the Belgians invited me to visit him,
and was then informed of his strong
inclination to undertake for Africa what
/ had been SO strenuously advising Eng
lishmen to do. He was already president
of the African International association,
which was about to set on foot hu-
manitarian enterprise from the east
coast, and he led me to understand that
if were free from other engagements
he would like to employ me in opening
the Kongo basin to European influence
and civilization.
1t was my opinion that the best way
Of setting about the work was to con-
struct light surface railway which
should skirt the cataracts of the lower
Kongo and then to launch steamers on
the upper waters, which I estimated
would furnish about 5000 miles of nav
igation. We argued about this matter
from August to December, 1878. The
best Belgian engineers were consulted,
but after the most elaborate calcula-
tions as to cost it was finally decided
that as the expense would be great we
should content ourselves with making
wagon roads past the cataracts and build
series of military stations for the pro-
lection OF caravans, and that the annual
expenditure should not exceed $50, 900.

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wake
fulness is, in nine cases out of ten,
a dyspeptic stomach. Good diges-
tiOn gives sound sleey, Indigestion
interferes with It. The brain and
stomach sympathize. One of the
prominent symptoms of a weak
state of the gastric organs is a dis
turbance OF the great nerve entire
pot, the brain. Invigorate the
stomach, and you restore equili-
brium to the great center. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, which
is far preferable to mineral seda-
tives and powerful narcotics which,
though they may for a time exert
soporifc influence upon the brain,
soon sease to act, and invariably in
jure the tone of. the stomach. The
Bitters, on the contrary, restore
activity to the operations of that
all important organ, and their be-
nefcent influence is reflected in
sound sleep and a tranquil state of
the nervous system. A wholesome
impetus is also given to the action
of the liver and bowels by its use.

WHO IS HEl

IN Pleasant Lake.

Mr.. B. F, Young, fireman on the
engine that pulls the log train in

late yesterday evening in Pleasant
Lake. Mr.. Young says as they
were coming over the trestling of
the lake, they discovered "foater"
and bringing the engine to a stop,
prepared a grapple and hooked on
to it and dragged it to shore, where
1t was turned over to the man in
charge of the Island. The body
was so badly decomposed that they
did not make an examination and
therefore could not tell anything
further about it. The man who
was given charge of watching after
the 'stif" went after a coroner and
today the matter will be looked af-
ter and a conclusion as to how the
man came to his death revealed.
Mr.. Young says his weight was
about 100 pounds, and his dress de-
noted that he was a laborer.
