"a Crooked" TELEGRAPH r

New Orleans, March 14.-Officials of
the telegraph company are reticent con-
corning the false reports sent out by
the racing department from the race
track to-day that Royal Nettie had
won the last race instead of Plug, but
from the best obtainable information
the trick was turned by am operator
In the telegraph office at the race
track. 1t was about an hour after the
raise results had been sent to all the
pool rooms In the country that the
change made in the result was d!scov-
cred. The pool rooms reporter states
that his message giving the result of
the race, the last one of the day was
correct, as filed with the telegraph
company, and he was greatly surprised
to find that his message had not been
correctly sent. The pool rooms in

Not even the enthusiast, Prof. Elliot,
was more delighted than DiracGor Skiff
when the museum Directory made known
it's determination to send out the expe-
dition. Mr.. Skif has realized, ever since
he took hold of the museum that it was
likely to remain deficient in its natural
history department., and this action
comes as a welcome solution Of a hard
problem.

the Demlicans as very bad set of men"
You certainly have heard me say that

bad lot indeed.'
Thank you, sir,'' said Rollo. sThat is
another way Of saying that the Demlicans
are what Jonas calls 'rascals.' :"
Undoubtedly, Rollo, but go on, please. -
"My trouble Is just here, sir. Knowing
that the Demlicans are SO bad, could not
understand why Uncle George should con-
gratulate you upon being sure of the Dem

Rollo, and all will be plain to you-though
Demlican is a rascal, as Jonas prefers to
characterize him, still his vote is quite as
good as the vote Of the very best Reprocrat
in the land.''
"But is it not strange, sir, that it should

"Not at all, replied Mr.. Holiday, "the
dollar that comes from the hand of beg

from the exemplary Citizen

George tell Jonas that it took good deal
of kernooding on your part to get the
Demlicans to vote for you, and when I
asked him what 'kernoolding' meant he
said 'the stuff Please, sir, what may

Said Mr.. Holiday, with a blush, proba-

The Spirit of Washington.

A little, yellow haired s-year-o girl,
whose innocence shone through her round,
baby face, had heard many stories of
Washington. She was a great admirer of
the father of her country. One day a
teacher asked each member Of Daisy g
class to write some story of Washington.
This Is what Daisy wrote:
"Once upon time there was great
war with the Indians in our country. A
man wanted to send letter to another
city. Washington took the letter. The
Indians were very ugly to him. They got
behind trees and shot at him, but they
couldn't hit him. One Indian shot
through Washingtons coat Another
made holes in his hat. When they couldn y
kill him, they wondered what was the
matter. Then they said, He is spherit. ,
After that they liked him, and that is WHY
they liked him, cause such things are so
tuff you can't kill them. '-Chicago

"They Say"
BY SIDNEY II. HATCH.

BY SIDNEY II. HATCH.
A sly sneaking coward skulks over the land,
Perchance you have seen him today,
With smooth, oily tongue. and a countenance
bland;
The name of this fraud is They Say"
He visits the homes of the rich and the poor,
With gossips spends most of his days;
Finds work for the idle, and vicious as well,
For cunning and dark are his ways.
While scorning the road that the slanderer
walks.
His path leads the very same way,
But cowardice prompts him to do in the dark
What others would do in the day.
Protesting no harm to his neighbors or friends
Their errors he loves to display,
But seeking to shelter himself from all blame'
He closes his tale with they say"
oft friendships are broken and hearts are
made sad
By this wolf in the rament of sheep,
But no thing cares he for the ruin thus wrought,
He smiles when the sufferers weep.
This fiend should be banished from all human
kind,
Imprisoned the rest of his days,
Or exied alone on some far-distant isle
To grieve DER his treacherous ways.
