The Late Senator Harris

Mr.. Harris and General Shelby of Mis-
souri,, both being fugitives to Mexico af-
ter the war, struck up a friendship,
which they forgot on their return.
Twenty-eight years afterward Shelby
sent his card into the senate chamber
for Harris and when the two met in the
marble room, asked: Don't you re-
member your old partner"
What were we partners in, sir?" de-
manded Harris with great warmth.
1--WE owned a whisky still"
Don't know ysu, sir. l never owned
a distillery," retorted Harris, his wrath
beginning to rise, and stretch itself.
Shelby told him the particulars with a
laugh. Harris grasped his hand eagerly,
saying: BLESS my SOUL This isn't Joe
Shelby?"
Then the tyS sat down and visited like
choolgirls-talked, laughed and re-
vived old stories. At last Shelby de-
parted to keep an engagement with the
president and be appointed United
States marshal for Western Missouri.
After he had gone Harris arose and a
look of great and sour protest came over
his face.
why, damn Joe Shelby!" he said; che
never owned any of that whisky still.
1t belonged to me and George Forsyth.
Joe Shelby was always hanging around,
drinking our whisky, but he never owned
any of that still a minute. We distilled
five bottlefuls and Joe Shelby drank
three CT 'em. The other two Forsyth
and I aged, sir. and drank them our
selves"
How long did you age them, SEN

Are you sure?'
Eyes, sir. I bought a pair of shoes for
$3.50. l handed you a S. bill. You gave
me a dollar bill and this half dollar in
change. There can't be any mistake
about it. 1 haven't had any other fifty
cent in my possession since
Let me look al it again. Hm-the

picious, hut on close examination l find
it's only battered. I'll take it.
ooh, l beg your pardon! Now that 1
think about it, didn't get it here at all.
A fruit peddler gave it to me in change
this morning when l bought some ber-
ries of him l had forgotten it, so it

one. I shall have to refuse it, ma am =

WILL RAISE WILD ANIMALS
Scheme of a Californian for Great
Preserve on the Slope

Moved by the increasing difficulty,
which is the same as saying the increas-
ing expense, of securing wild animals
for exhibition purposes from their ma
tural habitats, there is scheme on foot
in California for establishing a big pre-
serve in which the rearing of all sorts
of wild and savage creatures can be
conducted on a scale large enough to
meet the demand for them. 1t is pro-
posed to acquire in the southern part of
the state tract of land several square
miles in extent and comprising timber,
swamp and rock sections, and to turn
the whole into miniature reproduction
of the serni-tropical jungle. Around the
whole tract will be erected a strong
brick wall, firmly set on deep stone
foundations, rising to a height of two
feet above the ground, andsurmounted
by an iron fence ten or twelve feet high,
making escape from the Enclosure i'm
possible. Into it will be introduced
lions, tigers, hyenas, panthers, leopards
and all the untamed terrors of the
wilderness.
There will alec be an elephant inclos-
ure, made by driving logs into the
ground with pile driver, braced with
cross pieces and slanting uprights from
the outside, SO that it will be impossible
for even vicious elephant to batter
down the inclosure, which will separate
the pachyderms from the rest of the
animals. Into the portion of the park
occupied by the carnivorous, different
wild goats, antelope and other herbivor-
Gus animals on which meat-eating ami
mails feed, will be introduced as food
These animals will be given protection
enough so it will be impossible to exter-
inmate them, and at the same time it
will be so arranged that carnivorous
animals will be unable to prey upon
them. One of the interesting features
Of this wild animal farm will be the part
of raising monkeys and birds 1t is
planned to have this cover forty acres
of orchard, nut trees and forest. This
entire grove will be surrounded to a
height of 100 feet or more with a wire
netting and covered entirely with roof
of the same material. 1t will be amply
protected by q lower wall, which will
prevent lions, tigers etc, from gaining
an entrance to it. In this inclosure will
also be propagated the giraffe, zebra,
gnu and other animals, which the rapid
colonization of Africa by different Euro
pean countries now threatens with ex-
tinction.-New York Times.

ator?" asked Jack Murray, to whom
Harris was indignantly confiding.
"Fo' days. sir" responded Harris,
haughtily; 1--WE aged them fo' days and
then we drank them. And now Joe Shell
by has the effrontery to come around
thirty years after, when Forsyth is dead,
and talk of being our partner in that
still!'
ANECDOTES OF THE SENATOR
Many anecdotes have been told of the
late senator's irascible disposition. In
the marble room back of the senate one
day young man approached, saying:
I'm newspaper man, senator, and
The old man interrupted: II wish
every damned newspaper man was melt
ed with his own type, sir, and moulded
into bullets to shoot the devil with. l
think we could kill him, sir"
AT midnight during the closing hours
of a recent congress a senator from the
northwest, who is popularity believed TO
have borne another name in his eastern
youth, asked unanimous consent to
bring up a measure.
II object" said Harris.
THE objection of, the senator from
tennessee, sdlu the uoi LII w eSeeIir ser
ator, reddening bit, sis very unusual
1.-The senator from Tennessee" re-
torted Harris, sis capable of making I'M
usual objections"
And of doing ungentlemanly things"
responded the other.
But not, at any rate, dishonorable
things" shouted Harris, emerging from
behind his desk. THE senator from
Tennessee, sir, still answers to the name
he has borne from birth, and he has not
changed it, sir"
Let me get at him! Let me get at
hint" shouted the northwestern SEN
ator, beside himself with rage; but doz-
ems flocked between, the gavel began a
cannonading, and quiet was maintained
by main strength.

CROCKER STILL ALIVE
NO HOPE rs ENTERTAINED OF
RECOVERY
The Patient Lies in, Deep stupor
and Fails to Recognize His
Brother
Associated Press Special Wire.

SAN MATEO. July 16.-There has been
little or no change in the condition of
Col. Charles F. Croker, the railroad
magnate. today, the patient lying in an
unconscious state, from which he was
reused at intervals, only to relapse again.
today on a special train from Ogden,
after a record breaking run, and at once
FASTENED to his brothers bedside, but
the invalid was unable to recognize him.
Col Croker is displaying unexpected
vitality. AT o'clock tonight DR.. Gard
ner, chief surgeon OF the Southern Pa
cific company, and physician in chief in
attendance upon the stricken million
aire, made the following statement:
"Col Croker has held his own through
out the day. Although in a state of
coma most of the time, he, can still be
aroused and is at all times partially
conscious. If nothing unexpected hap
pens he will survive the night"
At midnight Col. Crocker's condition
was stated by his attendants to be I'M
changed. He is very low, and is lying
in a condition of semi-consciousnes
which his physicians say may continue
for day or two longer. There is abso-
lutely no hope of his recovery, but his
physicians do not anticipate fatal re-
suit of his illness tonight.
Col. Croclser's condition throughout
the day had been one of gradual sinking
and decline. He has not been intelli-
gently conscious since about o'clock
last night. He can be aroused suffi-
GENTLY to take his nourishment, which
consists entirely of milk, and he displays
in this no rational recognition of what
ie being done. The processes of respl-
ration, circulation and assimilation go
on, but vitality is decreasing. The regu-
larity with which he takes nourishment
and the excellency of his assimilation
undoubtedly have much to do with the
tenacity with which the patient resists
death. For four or five days Col. Crock
er has shown no increase of tempera-
ture and only slight indications of fever.
But today these hopeful signs ceased,
and there was an ominous increase in
temperature. The circulation became
impaired, and these are taken as indi
cations that the progress of the Bright's
disease is becoming more rapid.

beautiful and fertile valleys in the state,
in neighborhood which from its prox-
unity to Los Angeles is the place of res
idence Of many of our most respected
and substantial citizens.
1 protest against locating in our midst
pestiferous public cemetery, poison

water supply and endangering the
health and comfort of the whole COM

Mr.. Samuelson of Nebra ska has start
ed the project, which enables him to sell
some land he owns in the valley at a
large profit. He has subscribed 49G
shares to make up the legal quotient,
and the other four shares are repre-
scented to be held by j. D. Bedford, Mrs
w. Gardner, Gilbert Smith and T. Il.

it his business to sell shares in his asso-
