"Patrinrch.s Rest."

Editor Morning News: The Patriarch s
Rest" is a well known rendezvous in the
park for a number of aged gentlemen of
high character and literary attachments.
They can be seen every Sunday afternoon
sitting on a bench made for their especial
benefit where all questions of a political,
social or a religious nature, are discussed
with that wisdom only born of much
thought, enlarged observation, and no lit
tie experience in all the turns, twists and
ramihcations Of human nature. The ratio
cinations INDUCED in are worthy of much
thought and consideration, and quiet in
the neighborhood is a necessity to contin-
uity of thought and argument
Now to the point: The placing of the
beautiful drinking fountain within ten
feet of the "Patriarch's Rest is a source
of discomfort and ableness 1t is
provocative of mental unrest and aggra-
walton when a subject of Importance is
presented for discussion. The noise and
confusion around the fount is disturbing,
and the boys resting their bicycles on the
Rest is annoying On Sunday, one of the
"patriarchs," filed with the Importance of
the coming mayors election. put the ques-
ton: Whether at public elections. or the
mayors election, should the votes of fac
ton predominant by internal suggestions
or the bias of Jurisprudence"
OF course, quiet was all important on
such an occasion, but how could il be had
with crowd of noisy boys around the
drinking fount? Impossible The question
was debated and the opinions various One
of the patriarchs thought that should the
votes of faction predominant by internal
suggestions, the suggestion would. be
hunting for the candidate whose friends
could produce the biggest pocket book &c
catch the votes of those OF
Hamitic descent who is even or

needed and a consideration given. Anoth-
err patriarch thought. the bias of jurspru.
dence was decidedly in favor of Maj. Mel
drim, but there was also TO be a bias to.
wards the pocketbook to make the election
sure. Another patriarch thought that the
votes of faction as well as bias of jurs
prudence, amounted to nothing so long as
the Africo-American had a voice at tn,
polls, and his bias was emphatic toward,
the biggest, best and most liberal pocket
book
Your writer cannot elaborate the learn
ed arguments offered on all sides. Ii Sc
happened about the close of the argu
ment a Sunday school question card was
handed in 10y some one, and another ques
ton was discussed when the card wa.
read. II turned on the point as to The
nature of God. One patriarch thought
that God must be anthropopathical in his
nature, as man was made i'm his image
Another patriarch differed, and said he
was purely psychic, but Jesus was nc
doubt psilanthropist in his nature. An
other patriarch said he could not under
stand the wonderful thaumaturgic gifts
OF Jesus If he was only a psianthropst
The arguments were learned and able
but like true philosophers, they agreed tc
pleasantly disagree.
The fount Is too near, and is a nuisance
to the patriarchs, and they petition that
a more suitable place be found for It.

Troops of camels, brought from
Mongolia, are employed in winter to
carry supplies and materials TO and
from the gold placers of eastern
Siberia, and the spectacle presented
by long line of these ''ships of the
DESERT" tramping solemnly across the
SHOWS of Siberian steppe, is de-
scribed as extremely singular. Camels
require only about half as much daily
food as horses, but on the other hand
they have to be literally supplied
with salt. Where the country is so
wild that neither roads nor tracks
exist, reindeer are employed instead
of horses or camels, and they find
their own living en- route, by uncover
ing, beneath the snow, kind Of gray
lichen on which they are able to sub
sist.

The Fat hoy of Maine Can DO Anything
Except Ride u BicycIe.

A few days ago pedestrians at
Auburn, Me-, were startled by the
appearance of the biggest and fattest
boy that ever trod the streets-a giant
in knickerbockers, rosy-cheeked,
roly-poly, 12-year-old, who could lift
barrel of -four as easily as you can
lift pail Of water, and who weighs
203 pounds in bathing suit.
The boy was named Lamont Leavitt,
son of o. n. Leavitt. Young Leavitt
was induced to submit to the tape line
and yardstick, and here are his
measurements, the figures being over
his regular suit of corduroy: Age, ~;
weight, 203 pounds; height in walking
shoes, 8 feet inches; chest, 3 feet 7
inches; waist, 3 feet 8 inches; arms,
/ foot inches; thigh, 2 feet / inch;
calf, foot 6 inches. His fathers
weight, 145 pounds, and his mothers,
140. A brother of Master Lamont
weighs $50. At birth Master Lam ont
weighed 10 pounds. He has always
been in perfect health, and today he
is q redcheeked,, good-natured boy.
He has rOguish twinkle in his pretty
blue eyes, and he smiles when he says
that he had just as soon be fat as lean.
From childhood he has had a keen
liking for books. 1t was feared at one
time that he was reading and study
ing too much, and at the suggestion
of the family physician he was re-
strained in that direction. When he
was seven years old he could lift his
father easily. They have prohibited
his lifting all along, but now and then
he has broken the rules and demon
strated his strength. At the time in
dicated he would run up behind his
father and in play grab him by the
legs and lift him off his feet before the
father could shake the lively young
chap off. When he was six years old
he helped his father build barbed
wire fence, and he found it an easy
matter holding up his end of the iron
bar which ran through the coil of
wire. These coils weigh from fifty to
eighty pounds.
Master Lamont says that just now
there is only one thing in the wide
world that he would like, and that is a
bicycle. He wants it as bad as any
body ever wanted bow-wow or any
thing else. He reckons that twenty
pound wheel would be about the
thing, only he wants full-Aedged
mans wheel. Boston Advertiser.
