A STRANGE CAREER.

The Remarkable Story of . Mnp
Once In the United States Senate.
Gov. Bob" Stewart, who was the
chief executive of Missouri once, and
afterward United States senator from
that state, had a strange career.
During his gubernatorial incumbency
he was n day looking through the
~penitentiary at Jefferson City, when
he saw among the convicts an aged
nan whom he recognized. On the fol
lowing day he sent to the warden Of
the prison orders to have that maj
brought to the executive mansion.
When the man appeared the gov
ernor, calling HIM by name, asked him
If he hadn't once been the mate of a
Missouri river steamboat. The con
Wet admitted that he had been, and
then the following conversation en-
sued, the governor beginning:
do you remember at one time of
having taken, blankets away from q
boy who was q sto waway on the boat
and kicking him ashore!"
'"The circumstance doesn't occur to
me now. but doubtless I did it. A
steamboat mate in those days had to
be considerable Of a brute"
Eyes, sir; and you filled the bill ad-
mirably. l was the boy you robbed
and kicked ashore very near to this
capital city, and thus l became enabled
to give you your pardon. Here. sir,
take it. Now, right about. March out
Of that door and off these premises.
and never let me see your brutal old
face again."
The old convict walked away quite
briskly for III of his age.
a little while ago a senator told me
that one day, about the close of the
war or perhaps a little later, he was
walking down Pennsylvania avenue in
Washington with another senator,
when his companion abruptly called
his attention to a rather distinguished
looking man in a gang of laborers who
were cleaning the streets, and I think
he said under police surveillance.
do you know who that man is?"
the second senator asked.
"No."
"Nell, that is ex-Gov. Bob Stewart
of Missouri. He was of convivial ma
ture, and the convivialities Of Wash
ington proved too much for him.

A BALD.HEADED FRESHMAN.

One OF Pennsylvania's Football
Players Wears a Wig.
The University Of Pennsylvania has
frequently been scored upon the age Of
some Of the athletes who have attend
ed there in the past, but they have
never been charged with having bald
headed freshmen. Nevertheless, this
is a fact, although the students them
selves do not know It. When the fresh
man foot ball team was practicing re.
Gently against the varsity, the appall-
ing fact was discovered. The big left
guard of the freshmen, running at o
varsity player, tackled him and threw
him. The freshman fell beneath, and
the crowd Of interference fell upon
him. All that could be seen of him,
however, was a perfectly bald head,
extending from beneath the mass.
The players didn't know what to make
of it, and stood by gazing, forgetting
to release the imprisoned man. When
the crowd has disentangled itself the
big freshman hurriedly found the wig
with which he had concealed his de-
formity, and shortly after disappeared
from the fleld.-Philadelphia Tele.

Dehorninr Calves.

This is such a simple operation when
the animal is young that 1t is difficult
to explain why it is postponed until
the horns are fully grown. Caustic
potash in sticks is the material used.
1t can be secured cheaply at any drug
store. When the calf Is three days
old, tie his feet together and lay him
in a clean, well Uttered place. Press
his head firmly to the ground with the
knee and locate the pimplc which in
dicates the budding horn. Wet the
spot well, then take the stick of potash
wrapped in paper, with one end ex-
posed, and rub around the embryonic
horn until 1t is we'll coated with pot
ash. Roll the calf over and repeat the
operation on the other side. IL after
n week or ten days any signs Of
growth appear about the scar touch
