The Candidate From Cape Cod and
His Little Joke.
TICKET COMPLETE WITHOUT HIM

The other day an inquiring citizen ran
across Alderman Charles g. Nichols OF
Ward One Alderman Nichols appeared
to be in his usual frame of mind-that is,
at peace with the world.
The Alderman invited his fellow.citzen
TO join him in "A cottonseod cocktail,
guaranteed TO be Notwithstanding, and
after slipping tho nectar the citizen said /:
- Mir. Alderman, there is good deal
Of questioning in the ward as to whether
you ars going TO retire or not are youg"
Why, replied the Alderman. II can {
say that l am going to retire. You see,
haven't anything to retire from.
Ihe questioner, feeling that his in
quiry was being evaded, though subse-
quent conversation proved that it was
not, put his question still more bluntIy.
We'll, F" he said "ar, you going TO run
will you be n candidate-Vill you accept

really don't expect Co be candidate for
there is nobody to nominate me-"
Then the Alderman clucidated and tho
elucidation explains the present condition
of the Good Government, so successful
two years ago and 80 nearly wiped out
one year ago.
The First ward was the fountain head
for tie so-called Good Government move
mont which, in 1895, elected MEG Guinness
Mayor and secured control OF the City
Council-that is, with the Democrats
with which it affiliated it did.
The cid First ward Republican
delegation was by all odds the
strongest influence in the muni-
cipal administration and when
the uprising of .partissnship be-
gan, with its cries OF transfer tickets,
franchise destruction. economy in muni-
cipal expenditures and decrease of the
tax rate. the First ward delegation was
made the especial target for the attack OF
the com oined Democratic and Good
Government forces. The combination
captured the elective Office and three
wards-the First. the Second and the
Eighth. Last year the influence of the
movement instead Of advancing showed
a retardation and recent events have in
dioated that the public would give little
support to further continuance of the
battle. The fight of the First ward was
taken up by the organization known as
the Municipal League, which attempted
TO run things all over Town, but the par
ticipati,n of this central organization IN
10 municipal affairs has only served to
weaken the cause and has resulted In tho
loss Of ground previously won.

In New Whstcom, seaport town and
the county seat Of Whatcom County, the
northwest county in Washington and
in the United States, is erected on the
outer edge Of q sidewalk on one Of the
principal street corners an immense slab
or section Of one Of Washington's big
Rest red fir trees. The slab, being cut
directly across the diameter OF the tree,
like butchers cutting block, the great
est diameter extending upward, the
bark being on it's entire circumference.
A stranger naturally feels inclined to
walk up to the slab and measure it by
his height, and is surprised to find that
il would take another man standing on
his head to extend to the top oft. Then
he steps back pace and reads the fol-
lowing inscription, neatly painted on q
board attached to the face Of the slab:
"Tree from Loops Ranch Forks, What
com County, Wash. The tree was 465
feet high, 900 feet to the frst limb and
SO feet IL inches in circumference at the
base. II sawed into lumber it would
make 96,345 feet. 1t would build eight
cottages two stories high OF seven rooms
each. The tree is about 4SO years old,
according to the rings II sawed into
inch square strips it would fill ten
ordinary cars, and the strips would
reach from Whatcom to China" The

From the New York Sun.
"Ths big alligator in our menagerie,"
the old circus man said, "didn't always
take his feed very we'll. Sometimes he
wouldn'G open his mouth at feeding time,
and then we had to resort to strategy.
Alligators are very sensitive about the
nose. When this alligator wouldn't open
his mouth, we used to rub the top Of his
nose very. gently. That always made
him mad, and he'd throw back his upper
jaw like a cellar door on hinges. Then
we'd throw chunk Of beef, maybe i've
pounds or 80, down his throat, and down
would come the cellar door shut again,
and he would swallow the beef. In
that wGy we used to give him about
twenty. five pounds Of beef at feeding
without much difficulty.
"The old alligator was very fond OF
flies You might think fly would be
pretty small game for twelve-foot alli-
gator, and one fly would be. But this
old alligator would throw his upper jaw
back and 90 to sleep apparently. Flies
would light around inside the alligator's
mouth just the same as they would any
where outdoors, and when there were
about million there the alligator would
shut his upper jaw down with the flies
all inside. Pretty soon he'd throw the
cellar door back and set the trap again,
"I've often thought that alligatOrs
would make good flytraps for houses
OF course you'd want to keep any small
children there might be in the house
away from them, but il you looked out
for that I should think they'd be great
should say that about four twelve-foot
slligators could keep a moderate sized
house free Of flies all summer without
the slightest trouble"

The PassIng Of the TrappeE.

Under this caption q correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Times closes long and
interesting letter as follows:
"The trapper is essentially what his
name implies, and not hunter or sports
man. The shotgun is not his implement,
for this tears and Injuries the skins and
furs. The trap and skinning knife are
his chief articles of trade. The traps
are usually divided into three classes
snares, deadfalls and steel traps. The
steel traps vary in size from the small
ones set to capture the little muskrat, to
the large double'spring arrangements
known as grizzly bear traps These
latter are mammoth affairs, weighing
forty pounds, aud with rows Of sharp
teeth spread sixteen inches apart, When
the jaws Of such trap close upon any
creature they are pretty sure to break
the leg and hold the captive prisoner
until relieved by some outside person.
The grizzly bears have been known to-
tear the heavy traps from their moor
ings and drag them a mile or more
through the forests, but they have never
been known to pull the leg away from
the relentless teeth.
"The deadfslls are made both for large
end small animals. In the small horse
shoe enclosure tempting bait is fast
ened ON delicate trigger, which, when
slightly moved, let's down npon the
animals back q number Of heavy logs.
These fall squsrely upon the back or
shoulders Of the hungry creature, and
either break il or crush out the lie.
The animal caught in deadfall rarely
lives to tell the tale. The wary animals,
like the fox, can seldom be induced to
enter deadfall, for their instincts make
them suspicious. Snares are used FOR
catching variety OF small animals, and
they are arranged in great variety OF
ways, the most common Of which 10 with

The advocate., 1897-07-28

The following is printed in an exchange
ss the origin Of the name given TO the
glass vessels out of which we drink at
table:
Years ago Prof. Max Muller was
giving luncheon at All Souls College,
Oxford, to the Princess Alice, the wife
of the Grand Duke Of Hesse- DSrmstadt,
and the second daughter of Queen
Victoria. There were not a dozen guests
besides the Princess and her husband,
and a very agreeable luncheon was had,
with talk on all kinds OF interesting sub
iects.
But what excited the curiosity OF all
strangers present, says an exchange, was
set OF little round bowls Of silver, about
the size Of an orange. They were
brought round filed to the brim with
the famous ale brewed in the college.
These, we were told, were tumblers, and
we were speedily shown how they came
by their nRmes--a fitting lesson for the
guests OF a philologist. When one Of
these little bowls was empty it was placed
upon the table mouth downward. In
stRntly, 90 perfect was the balance, il
few back to it's proper position as II ask
ing to be filled again, No matter how
il was trested--trundled along the floors
balanced carefully on it's side, dropped
suddenly upon the soft, thick carpet
up it rolled again, and settled itself witt
q few gentle shakings and swayings into
it's place, like one Of those India rubber
tumbIing dolls babies delight in.
This, then, was the origin of our WORD
tumbler, at first made Of silver, as are
all these All Souls tumblers. Then
when glass became common, the round
glasses that stood on fat base super
seded the exquisitely balanced silver
spheres and stole their names sosuccess
fully that you have to 90 to All Souls
to see the real thing.
