Private John Aliens story.

Private John Allen OF MISSISSIPPI
once told this story in congress-: A
young man from his district went TO
Kansas and wrote back home that he
had bought 40 acres of land and was
doing we'll. Later be wrote that he had
purchased 40 acres more and was still
more prosperous Still later he had in
creased his real estate holdings to 100
acres and was prospecting like green
bay tree planted by the rivers Of water.
His old father at home was greatly
elated and was forever talking about
how we'll his son was getting on in far
away Kansas.
To his amazement and grief, one day
he received a telegram from Kansas,
saying. "Your son is dead " He prompt
ly answered. Send homo the remains. .
There came the astounding reply.
"There are no remains. A cyclone
struck your son. and there is nothing
left of him.
Now, the Democrats ought to take
lesson from Johns tale. They ought to
use the Republicans up SO thoroughly
at the coming election that there will
not be remains enough Of the mother
of trusts to hold a wake over or to serve
as material for a burying.
Some years ago two brothers were
partners in business in small way in
certain village in Indiana. They laid
their heads together and concluded that
they could enhance their fortunes by
taking f1ier on tho Chicago board Of
trade. So one Of them proceeded to the
Windy City and tried his fortune in
wheat. The first day. having won $5,-
900, he telegraphed his anxious brother
at home. '.God is good" !" The next day,
elated by his previous success, he tried
his luck once more. and lost $40, 600,
whereupon ho telegraphed his brother,
"Good God"
Teddy's Amdavits.
When the Spanish war began and Nc
Kinley had thousands Of new offices to
fill with the faithful and millions for
his appointees to dispose of to favorjtes,
the Republicans went. about rubbing
their hands in glee, shouting, "God is
good" but when the outrages and
swindles and cruelties practiced upon
our brave soldiers were dragged to the
light of day they in their bitter agony
at being found out. exclaimed, "Good

If it should turn out that Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt has "affidavited"
himself out of the governorship of New
York, it would be distinct loss to the
gayety of nations and All irreparable in
jury to the Democratic party. The colo
mel is an iconoclast of the most pro-
nounced order, and the way he would
have smashed Platt's machine after
climbing OH Platt's back as ladder to
the gubernatorial chair would have
made New York Democratic for the
next ten years. So hope that while he
was swearing himself out of tax bill
| he did not swear himself into an impos-
sibility as a Republican candidate for
governor, for nobody ever dreamed that
the machine Republicans would permit
him to be elected. 1t is an old saying
entirely applicable to Teddy and the
machinists that 'you can lead a horse
to the creek, but you cannot make him
drink. = The denonement of the Platt-
Black Roosevelt imbroglio is awaited

what Kissing signifies.

Kissing means different things, ao-
cording to where you happen to be at
the time. In west Africa the natives
hiss when they are astonished. in the
New Hebrides when they see anything
beautiful. The Basutos applaud pop
ular orator in their assemblies by hiss
ing at him. The Japanese again show
their reverence by hiss which has
probably somewhat the force of the

The Lune. and sIeep.

A physician quoted by the Boston
Transcript says that acute insomnia
may be promptly cured by the practice
of deep breathing. Draw into the lungs
as much ali. as possible and do not ex-
hale it until obliged to, and then as
slowly as possible 1t is somewhat of a
task when the night is oppressively
warm, but if persisted in is fairly sure
to relieve that hyperemia Of the brain
which everyday folk call wakefuiness.
The tricks of the sleepless to induce
sleep are many, but none is found to be
more Immediately efficacIous than this
plan of forcing the lungs to take the
burden off the brain and nerves.

The FEAST OF The BUTTERFLIES.

On the track of sunbeam shining through
The blossofning hedge the wind cars few
AS only tho trains of the fairies do.
And every butterfly came down,
FROM Lilac vale TO Bluebell town,
In velvet bodice and satin gown.
With green leaf plates was the board com
pletes
And in blue delft cups the honey wine sweet
And they only staid to dance and sup
Nor cleared the table of platter and cup,
For the rain washed ell the dishes up.

Steamer Captain Makes a Discovery
About Steel Ribbed Umbrellas.

II the calculations made by the cap
tain OF the steamer Hudson are correct.
and there seems TO be no reason to dis
pute them. steel handled and steel-rib-
bed umbrellas will have to be kept
away from the close vicinity of the pi-
lot houses. The captain OF the boat
while on a moonlight excursion, at
which there was far more fog and
moisture than there was moon, few
evenings ago. made the discovery, which
he has given to the world for the bene-
at of other steamboat men.
The captain during his trip TO Cres-
cent Park noticed that he kept getting
off his course, in spite of the fact that
he paid close attention to his compass.
Finally he noticed that number of
ladies were standing close to the pilot
house. and that their umbrellas were
very near the compass. When the UNI
brellas were removed the compass act
ed properly. and the captain remarked
that steel has a bad effect on the mag
netic needle.

THOSE HUMAN SKULLS.

Burial Grount

The finding of two human skulls on
the premises OF William J. Eichenfeldt,
No. IA Gala street, as reported in The
News last evening, created quite lot
of talk in the neighborhood all through
the afternoon and evening. but as yet
nobody has been found who has the
slightest idea where the skulls came
from. or where the balance of the hui
man frames, to which the skulls be-
longed originally. are located.
The police have no theory to advance.
although they are rather disposed to
believe that the gruesome objects came
originally from the old burying ground,
now transformed into Hayward Park,
and that they have been left in the
place where they were found ever since.
