An Englishman, touring through
America, went on board a steamer late
one night and on the following morning,
after walking on deck and looking
around him, he stepped up to the cap

would you kindly tell me what lake
I'm on?N
1.-THE Lake Huron" replied the cap

Many people. and l am sorry to say
some teachers of the deaf, fail to realize
in practice at least-that speech is not

BILE to the ear, and think that by speak
ing slowly, word by word, and opening
their mouths TO the widest extent, they
will render the task of the speech reader
easier. AS a matter of fact they render
it all the more difficult. A child in
school may learn to understand u teach
or who mouths his words in this man
ner, but this ability is OF no value to
him when he leaves school. Indeed per
fectly natural, deliberate speech is easier
to understand than the exaggerated
form of articulation which people are
apt to use the moment they know they
are talking to a totally deaf person.
People who depend entirely upon
their speech reading for understanding

WHY IT WAS HOT.
The Ha~h Epicure's Initial Experiences

Il had heard Of chatting dishes for
years, said Smiley Williams, "but the
one l saw for the first time tloored me

II never thought much abont the

a chatting dish was some sort OF concern

that rubbed together and mashed things.

AFTER awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
"'Holy Moses he said, what's got
into that bash!'
II told him nobody was expected to
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating 1t,
but he wasn't satisfied.
"Well, we kept on eating hash until
we had enough. And do you know that
hash left in the dish was hotter than II
was at the start?

One lrAIu of American character.

There is one trait Of III national

more or less indifferently by and allow
u country to be pushed to the verge Of a
financial or political precipice under
the impulse Of some kind of popular
craze or another, entirely confident that
just before il slips over we can take
hold Of it and pull it back. We have
done this again and again, and nothing
seems to shake u faith i'll u ability

sion arises, Ii costs US enormously, no,

Hunting the Wild Goat

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it Unfortunately called, is a
species of big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not so much because
Of the difficulty Ct killing the
animal, o because OF It's actual
rarity. 1t is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk. etc. 1t is remote from
| the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. It ranges very
| high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually. among rocks and cliffs.
| This requires great labor to get to it. but
once there the hunter will get his game

UNION PACIFIC WITHDRAWS.
Pulls Out of the Western Passenger
Association.

Chicago, June 15.-The Union Pacific
today pulled out OF the Western Pas
senger association by giving so days no.
tice of withdrawal which is called for
in the association agreement. There is
g. strong probability, moreover, that
there will be some reductions in the
passenger rates between the Missouri
river and Ogden before the matter is
finally settled.
The cause of the withdrawal was the
old fight over the divisions to be al
lowed the Oregon Short Line. In the
old days when the relations between
the Union Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line were more intimate than they are
at present, the Union Pacific allowed
the Short Line percentages somewhat
in excess of those usually allowed to
the western roads by their eastern con-
nections When the Short Line was re-
organized it obtained from the Rio
Grande Western and the Denver & Rio
Grande the same divisions that ii had
been receiving from the Union Pacific.
Today. at the meeting Of the Trans
Missouri lines, the Union Pacific de-
manded that these two roads should
not pay to the Short Line the same
percentages which it paid, and an
nounced that if the percentages Of the
Short Line were not leesened it would
withdraw from the association. The
Rio Grande Western and Denver G
Rio Grende refused to pay less 10 the
Short Line than they are paying at
present, saying that they were doing
exactly what the Union Pacific had
done. and the Union Pacific gave for
NAL notice of withdrawal from the as
sociation. It's attitude caused some
feeling among the other roads, and
some very plain talking was done in
the meeting, in the course of which the
Union Pacific intimated that If matters
were forced much further it would re-
duce the rates between Ogden and the
Missouri river. 1t afterwards partially
withdrew this threat and the meeting
with everybody in fighting
mood.

against the Milwaukee & St. Paul over
