Il have a friend over at my home
town in Wisconsin, told drummer
who regularly comes To Detroit, that
was elected to congress before he ever
knew he was a candidate.
"You know what a complete political
whirl things took in 1890. In our dis
trict the fellows of my faith had just
been going through the form OF nom
mating and voting for years. Not one
of our candidates ever got "a turn at the
public crib. 1t was standing joke, but
we were too proud to abandon our or
ganization. I'll not give his real name,
but call him Jim Huff He was as big
hearted fellow as ever lived, CHEEKY
as May morning and a born joker
That summer he had gone to South
America TO do some prospecting, and
we heard from him only about once in
two months.
''When we held our convention. some
of us thought il would be good one
on Jim to name him for congress while
he was not there TO protect himself. We
did so, and just to keep the sport going
with opinions of Jim that Landed him
to the skies. We committed him to all
kinds of reforms, attributed to him all
the qualities desirable in "a statesman,
boosted of his irresistible eloquence and
lamented the fact that temporary i'll
ness kept him away from home. The
fact was that he was as hearty as To-
connective.
when the returns came IN and show
ed that Jim was elected, we were the
worst fooled lot of fellows you ever saw
and were as ratified as brood OF chick
ems with hawk fluttering over it. We
organized an exploring committee OF
three to find jim and notify him. When
we did find him, way down in Peru, he
just gave us the laugh, and the district
had to hold special election. DE

Munchausen.

Many reader Of the Fictitious adj
ventures of the famous hero of the
"Munchausenaid" (Which was first
published in English at Oxford during
the lifetime of this prince of all liars)
has no conception that the hero was a
real person. Baron Hieronymus Karl
Friedrich Won Munchausen was Han
overian nobleman, subject of our first
three Georges. He was born in 1920 and
died in 1897 He took service in a Rus
sian cavalry regiment, but retired in old
age to his ancestral estate at Boden-
werder, in Hanover, where he became
notorious for the magnificent lies about
his military adventures with which he
used to entertain his neighbors at his
hospitable board A collection of these
stories, entitled Vademecum fur lustige
Leute, was published at Berlin in 1871,
without the Baron's permission. The
English work, Baron Munchausen s
Narrative of His Marvellous Travels and
Campaigns In Russia, was an expan
sion and improvement of the Berlin col
lection. English Exchange.

A Confusion of Names.

Although Scotia is now known to
mean Scotland, it once was the name of
Ireland. Two centuries before the birth
of Christ Ireland was known to the
Greeks as Juvenca Caesar called it Hi
hernia, as did also Ptolemy i'll his map
of that island. 1t is said the PhGni-
clans first gave Ireland the name of Hi
hernia, meaning thereby utmost or
last habitation," for beyond that land
westward the Phenicians never extend
ed their voyages. Toward the decline of
the Roman empire the country began to
be called Scotia, name retained by
the monastic writers until the eleventh
century, when the name Scotia, having
passed TO modern Scotland, the ancient
name of Hibernia began to be again
used. San Francisco Chronicle.
