a Joke on Governor Lcedy.

The college boys of Lawrence, Kan,
played good joke Oh Governor Leedy
soon after his inauguration. They got
up travesty Oh the circus in order to
raise money for local church and i'll
vited the governor to grace the enter
tainment with his presence. The affair
was held in Il tent, and us soon as Mr..
Leedy arrived the "barl,er" outside be-
gan to call out in Il sing song voice:
"Stcpinsidc, ladies and gentlemen, and
see the governor of Kansas, imported
from the wilds of Colfcy county at the
great expense Of Mr. E. n. Morrill, of
uiawatha, whom he has tanned eifectu-
ally. This is rare and handsome speci-
mon and the only governor Of Kansas
now in captivity. All others have been
let loose as not being the real thing. J"
The governor knows college boys and
enjoys joke, so he remained inside and
was the biggest attraction of the show.

The Picture Hat.

Some time ago noted writer an.
nounced that scientific physicians had
utterly condemned the large, round hats
weighed down with excessive garni-
lures, pronouncing them "a serious and
undeniable means Of producing head
ache, wrinkles and gray hair. One
would suppose this threat of a trio of ter
rible Affections would have had the in
Simultaneous good effect of banishing the
burdensome cause of them all; hut not
SO. We can almost affirm that fashion S
power is more potent than health or even
life itself. Gray hairs may appear, the

chronic and wrinkles deepen, but while
the dominating queen Of style DEGREES it
we shall still behold the baneful and
overpoweripg picture hat.-Exchange

For Point of View.

The children were having an oral
grammar lesson in the possessive plural.
1.-THE three families have moved into
their houses" was the sentence the
teacher had given them. ''What is it,
Lucy:" she asked little colored girl
who had raised her hand "That ain t
right, said Lucy. sit should lie Three
families moved into their house. y
But, Lucy" said the teacher, don't
you see that there would be three fami-
lies, and they would each move into a
house, and that would be three houses,
go the sentence would be right" Yes, "
said Lucy, but there might be three
floors in one house, and the families
would all move into the same house. -
And the teacher could not say that Lucy
was not right.-New York Times.

The Roman Fishermen.

A traveller i'll Rome tells of citizen
who was evidently too lazy to sit on
the bank Of the Tibcr and fish after tine
manner Of the ordinary fisherman, but
instead arranged his apparatus in the
form of automatic nets, which are made
to revolve by the aid of weights and
the current of the stream, so that it is
not necessary for him to visit the spot
oftener than once day. With the aid
of a pneumatic tube TO shoot the fish
from the bank to his house it would
seem to be unnecessary for him to do
even this. Nothing would be lacking
then to complete his happiness but an
electric broiler and possibly an auto
matte bone extractor.-Buffalo Com

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

Showing What u Shotgun Can DO In u
Load of Hay.
"What was the most exciting expert
ence L ever had?" repeated Clarence
Haight at the Olympic Gun club. 1
think it occurred last summer, when l
was hunting doves up in Sonoma coun-
ty. Now, shooting doves is not par
ticularly exciting or perilous, but
this was one of the hottest experiences l
ever had
Il had been travelling all day with a
big bag, and was pretty well tired out
when | struck the country road and
started for home. 1t was Il good four
miles walk, aud l was pretty we'll
pleased to see big wagon load of hay
approaching. The ranchcr gave me per-
mission to ride, so l scrambled up on
top, lay down Oh the sweet, new mown
hay and went swaying and swinging
down the road. was just doing off
when bangl went my shotgun. had
forgotten to take the cartridges out of 1t,
and something had pressed the trigger.
The horses gave Il jump. and the driver
rolled Off into the ditch.
"Then l discovered that my gun had
set fire to the hay, and thought it was
about time for me to escape. The horses
were tearing along the road rs hard as
they could run, but clambered for the
side of the load and slid for the road.
The tail of MY stout hunting coat
caught OH the top of Il sharp standard,
and there 1 hung to the careening wag-
on that threatened to upset and dump Il
load of burning hay on me at every
turn of the road.
1.-The fire was cracking and burning
fercely, and already 1 coull feel the
flames. Still the horses ran, and still
my coat held me fast to that seething
mass of flames. My trousers commenced
getting hot, and then found my coat
was OH fire. The next moment the loose
cartridges in my pockets commenced ex-
ploding from the heat, and then l
smelled my doves broiling.
II had just made up my mind that
all was over, when the tail of my coat
burned off and was thrown into Il
ditch full of water beside the road. l
did not stop to sec whit became of the
hay and the horses, nor Of the rancher,
but cut straight across that field for
home. That, gentlemen, was the most
thrilling experience Of my life. New

FOREST MONSTERS.
Some of che Giant Trees That Arc Found
In California


In the National parks and forest pre-.
serves Of California the big trees are by
far the most interesting and greatest
natural features There are two vari-
eties-namely Sequoia sempervirens
ordinarily known as the redwood,
the tree which has furnished most of
the redwood lumber OF commerce, and
the Sequoia gisantea, from which Il
comparatively small amount of similar
lumber has also been made The for
mer is the smaller variety and grows
Oh the foothills along the coast. The
latter attains considerably larger
growth, is, more strictly speaking, the
'big tree" Of California, and is seldom
found at lower altitude than 5000
feet
Scattered along the extent of the Sier-
III Ncvadas from north to south are
many distinct and separate groups or
groves OF Scquoia gigantea. These are
generally known by names significant
of locality. us, for instance, "Calaver-
us, "Tuolumne, "Mariposl" and
Fresno names of the counties i'll
which the groves so called are situated.
The Tuolumne grove is IN the Yosemite
park, and the Nlarirosa near Icy. This
latter is the one most frequently visited
by tourists and contains the "Wawona
IA tree with Il hole burned in its base,
through which the stage road runs and
four horse stages are driven without
dil1iculty-and the Grizzly Giant, "
one of the largest trees in the world.
The stately grandeur of these error
nous and lofty trees is so impressive
that it seems quite fit and natural that
some of the larger ones should have been
individualized and honored with distin-
guishcd titles. Nearly every state i'll
the Union and every distinguished gen
era Of the civil war has namcsake
among them The General Grant, i'll
the General Grant park, and tho Cen
eral Shcridau' of the "Giant forest
(situutcd in lie Sequoia park are indi-
viduals of the largest size 1t is difficult
to determine just which of the big trees
is the largest, but these two and the
Grizzly Giant'-thc snarly base OF
any one Of which will exceed 30 feet III
diamcter-arc probably the biggest trees
yet discovered.
The trees often grow in such inacccs-
sible mountain retreats that some of the
territory covered by them has never yet
been thoroughly and systematically ex-
plored. Outside the lands reserved by
the government Il California lumber
company owns several thousand acres
of these trees-erough to last 40 years,
cutting many millions OF feet per year.

Wars Growing shortcr.

With the exception Of the Franco
Prussian war. the greatest war which
Europe has seen since the days of Napo-
leon W as the Crimean war, which took
place more than 40 years ago and lasted
about TWO years. The campaigns OF Ma
poleon, of course, while they were con-
sidered short rs compared with some
previous wars in Europe, were certainly
long as compared with the wars OF the
past few decades. \ distinct movement
in the direction OF the shorter duration
of wars is TO be noticed i'll the past few
centuries.
The campaign in the Spanish Neither
lands lasted 10 years Then followed
the thirty years war III Europe, ending
in the peace of Westphalia. Civil war III
England lasted from 1912 to 1860, al
though hostilities were not in progress
all that time The wars OF the Spanish
succession, of the Austrian succession,
the Swedish Russian war and the Seven
Years war followed, averaging about
ten years apiece. The French and the
American revolutions averaged about
seven years apiece. The Napoleonic
campaigns covered nearly 10 years. The
Crimean war lasted from 1854 to 1856.
In the war of the rebellion, i'll this coun-
try, the world saw the latest war which
extended over four years of time.
Since 1865, with the general intro
duction of the telegraph, the electric
cable and the modern system of rail
ways, war has become matter Of a
few months at most In 1866 Prussia
defeated Austria in seven weeks Prus-
STA defeated FRANCE in about two
months. The war between Russia and
Turkey began in April, 1877, and was
practically finished by the close of that
year. The war between China and Japan
began about midsummer, 1894, and
ended in March, 1895. The present war
between Turkey and Greece seems to be
practically ended i'll about four weeks
from the outbreak Of formal hostilities.
1t seems to be shown by experience that
two important civilized nations i'll these
days of telegraph and railway cannot
conduct wars for any length of time UNI
less the contending countries are sepa-
rated By the ocean or some other natural
barrier. Boston Advertiser.

Curious Us. of the Microscope.

Some years ago, Oh one of the Prus.
sian railways, barrel which should
have contained silver coin was found,
on arrival at It's destination, to have
been ciupticd of its precious contents
and filed with sand Professor Ehren-
berg, being consulted Oil tie subject,
sent for samples of sand from all the
stations along the different lines of rail
way through which the specie had
passcd and By means of his microscope
identified the staticn from which the
jnterpolated sand must have been taken
The station once fixed upon, it was not
difficult to hit upon the culprlt among
the small number Of employees Oh duty
there. -Harpers Round Table.
