POUNDING THE KoNeo STATE.
Explorer Stanley Tells In Brief the Story

Explorer Stanley Tells In Brief the Story
 of the Great Enterprise.
 During my descent of the Kongo I had reyolved over and over in my mind the question of the destiny of the river. Seated at the proW of my boat, which led our fiotilla 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 l said, there was not a single white man in possession of any portion of the equatorial belt except at the mouth of the Kongo, where few trad CTS had gathered But despite the nu- merous addresses ill England upon this subject l failed to awaken more than geographical interest in equatorial Al rica. The terror of the African climate ill general was too strong upon every body.
 Elsewhere, however, the reports of my addresses ill 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 I was then informed of his strong inclination to undertake for Africa what l 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 I were free from other engagements he would like to employ me in opening the Kongo basin to European influence and civilization.
 It 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 1 estimated would furnish about 6, 900 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 a series of military stations for the pro- tection of caravans, and that the annual expenditure should not exceed $60, 000 Henry M. Stanley in Century.

A MAN FOR AN EMERGENCY.
Surprising Experience In Car of & Bo
 Who Was Headstrong.

Surprising Experience In B Car of B Boy
 Who Was HeadstronR.
 A poorly dressed woman with a boy about 9 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:
 Poor boy Tguess he's tired. He can have it. sir. J
 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 a 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.
 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.

 In the Garfield Hancock campaicn there was big Democratic meeting at a certain place in St Charles county. in thls state. A number of distinguished Democratic speakers were there. and we had day of it. The writer was then small child, hut one of the speakers made very profound impression upon hls mind. The speaker was no other than Champ Clark
 No one asks now, sWho was Champ Clark?'' but then he was new star in the Armament.
 We had a number of speeches. and the children were very tired 1 can t speak for the grown people, because the good Democrats there would not have owned to being tired. l know, after such dis play of eloquence from their great party leaders. At any rate I 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:
 am reminded of the boy who kill ed possum and expected to enjoy a possum dinner the next day. The fam fly was about to sit down to the dinner table when wagon drove mp and neighbours family came in. The head ot 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 anxious1y 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 possum lover busted right out a-erying The disappointment was too much for him.
 My friends, :" continued MT. Clark, . am ill that same condition. When I 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 last speaker finished I just busted right out a-crying, because there was not an other thing left for me to say" ,"
 But there was, and he said it too. He awakened that audience till you could hear it's applause mile away.
 think that that was probably the first time Champ Clark ever spoke in St. Charles county. He carried back home with him the thanks and appreciation of good many of his hearers that day. St Louis Republic.

< coNJUReR's TALE OF WOE.
Confederate Produced a Handful of Change
 Instead of a Marked Dollar.


 Carl Hertz. the illusionist. was talk Ing of some of the accidents that some times spoil the art of the coniuror.
 It was in Nashville, "h he said. "that experienced real knock down hlow was performing the we'll known trick of passing marked coin into the center of an uncut orange; at least that's what good many people thought I was do Ing. 1 used silver dollar, and empha- sized the trick by passing the coin into the pocket of some boy whom had en- tieed on to the stage.
 will openly confess that the hoy had to be confederate, and that the marked dollar had it's fellow in one pre- ylously prepared by me. One night. as I was entering the theater, I looked around Tor likely youth to aid me in my dou- ble dealing. I picked boy and prom lsed to pass him in if he would follow my instructions.
 am conjurer, I said I want you to put this dollar in your right hand trousers pocket I'll get you a seat in the front row. When I ask for some- body to come on the stage, you must come. Then l will ask you to produce the dollar
 ''Ihe boy promised everything. and. after making arrangements for him at the door, left him. When was ready for the dollar trick, l saw my young confederate sitting open mouthed in the front row. l had prevailed upon another member of the audience to lend ma dollar marked exactly as was that had given to the boy.
 l passed that borrowed dollar into the orange, cut the fruit open, and out dropped the coin. Then I went on:
 And now, ladies and gentlemen, I will perform still more difficult feat. have passed that dollar into an orange. Now will ask some member of the au dlence to step on the stage, and, without 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. Istepped opposite him and asked:
 Nov, sir, have you ever seen me before?'
 No, sir, was the answer.
 I have here dollar. continued. I am going to pass it into your right hand trousers pocket. One-two-three -gol'
 "I made the proper magicians pass and smiled confidently upon my audi enee.
 "'Now, I said to my assistant, put your hand into your right hand trousers pocket and give me the dollar.
 "The boy looked bit sheepish, but he diYed his fist down. Then, to my un- utterable horror, he produced handful of silver and said:

The MulIein Plant.

We stopped to look at the downy con- tent of that sober plant, the mullein.
 Many plants had the central leaves fold ed continuously one about another until sort of large, gray green bud was formed, and in one of these buds bee was taking an afternoon nap, snugly sheltered from the air, which was grow ing somewhat chilly. We thought that any prudent insect might find com fortable winter home by asking the mullein to open it's velvet leaves just a little and then D fold them tightly around the wanderer! And while we were speaking bluebottle fly went humming past us. as if to say he had DO mind yet to be asking shelter of any one Edith NJ. Thomas in St. Nicholas.
