Would Go to Bed.

An amusing incident was witnessed at
one of the precinct polling places the other
day during the registration, while an eff
fort was being made to keep out-of- town
students from registering, says the Co.
lumbus Dispatch. A big, awkward med
zeal student presented himself He looked
as though he could be easily tripped up
on questions, and he was picked out for
"a soft mark but right there was where
the challenger made a mistake, as results
proved. The student was brighter than
he looked. The following dialogue ell
sued:
Where do you live?"
For reply the student gave his street
number.
Yes; but where is your home?"
columbus"
"Well, where would you go if you were
sick?''
This was intended to make him give the
name Of the place whence he came to Co
lumbus, but it didn't. He promptly re-
piled:
''Why, would go to bed"
He registered.

A GODSEND LUFKIN OF MAINE.

but 800. 900 Came Along with 1t.

His q Mistake of the CIergyman's
but 500, 600 Came Along with 1t.
A Godsend Lufkin of Tilden, Me, has
the distinction of owning the queerest
name in Maine. He got it through a
mistake Of the clergyman who christened
him.
Godsend's grandfather, old Peleg Luf-
kin. owned about all the wild land in the
town. When he died he left his property
to his four boys in trust, the whole Of it
to go to the first grandson who should
come into the world. At that time none
Of the boys was married, but they ut once
remeded this fault, everyone taking a
wife inside of a year from the time the
will of their father was made. Six years
after his wedding the wife of George
Lufkin presented to him q son, who was
entitled to the great estate under the
terms of the will. 1t was agreed that the
boys mother should bestow the name
but she neglected to tell the minister
about it before the party had assembled
in the church. Then when the clergy
man asked what name he should beStoT
the child's father spoke UP and said:
81 think you'd better call him god
send. because he has proved that to MY
family"
The words spoken in jest were taken in
earnest by the clergyman, who proceeded
to formally christen the boy as ga God
send Lufkin.' a name which he bears to-
day AS he got nearly 100000 worth Of
property along with his name, he is try
ing to stand it.

LETSURELY LANE.

Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane?-
We Travelled it long ago;
A place for the tagging of leiSurely steps,
sweet and shady and slow.
There were rims of reStful hills beyond
and fields of dreamful wheat,
With shadows of clouds across them blown
and peoples asleep at our feet
There lads and maids on a Sunday met and
Strolled them. two and two;
The leaves they laced in a roof o'erhead
and only the sun peered through;
And there was time to gather rose, and
time for the woodbird's call,
And plenty of time to sit by stream and
hearken its ripple and fall.
Is there no road now to LeiSurely Lane!
God knows we have hurried afarD
There was once q lamp through the brooding
dusk, and over the tree star;
There was once q breath of clover bloom
(Sweet Heaven, we have hurried sc
longD
And there was a gate by a white rose
clasped and out Of the dusk a song.
The song the echo is strange and
sweet the voice it is weak and old;
1t hath no part with this fierce, wild rush,
and this hard, mad fight for gold!
1t hath no part with the clamor and din,
and the Earring Of wheel and stone!
oh, listen, my heart and forget-forget that
we reap the bread we have sown!
Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane
where lingering, one by one,
The summOning bells of twilight time over
the meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeward way,
glad Of the evening star?
Is there no road now to LeiSurely Lanes
GOO knows we have hurried affair!

A Pastime of Horrible Beauty.

An ordinary bull fight, as it occurs
every few days in the larger cities of
SPAIN. means the slaughter of six bulls,
one after the other, and the butchering
of from fifteen to thirty horses This is
dreadful enough. But when, in addition
to that, mau is tossed on the brute's
horns, and torn open and mangled and
killed, it is monstrous. Such casualty,
however, seldom happens, but it was my
fate to be present when the first toreador
of Spain, the brave, dashing fascinating
young Espartero, was killed, and the
spectacle which | had before my eyes on
that memorable day will never fade away
completely. / shall never forget the aw-
full sight of that bull fight I have been
told, however, that anyone can get ac-
customed to it. A charming and refined
New York woman now living in Madrid
once said to me: Il have seen about a
dozen of these fights. The first time 1
nearly tainted, but now it has hardly any
effect upon me. One becomes accustomed
to everything" Of the three American
ladies with whom I went to the fight,
two had to be helped to the rear Of the
box, where they remained with their
eyes closed, using their smelling salts.
The third, the youngest, a person of ire
mendous force of will and the possessor
of a very Independent and original char
acter, said she was not affected in the
least, as 'she did not look at the beasts
but at the meni'-A. 3. de Guerville in

INTERVIEWS GOMEZ.
Newspaper Man Visits the Camp OF
the Noted Cuban Insur-
gent Leader.

New York, Dec Boa correspondent
of the Herald has returned from Havana
after having visited the camp of Gen.
Gomez.
The correspondent asked Gen. Gomez
for his opinion as to American interven-
ton and the annexation Of Cuba to the
United States. He replied that interven-
ton does not necessarily imply annexa-
ton.
Il would gladly accept tie former, as
I would accept aid from any quarter. al
though I believe if left alone we will
achieve our own independence unalded,
and I am loath that we should be robbed
of any share in the honor OF the expulsion
of the SpaniardS.
Gas far as annexation is concerned,
cannot admit its possibility. To that
proposition I make the same reply as [
do to the autonomy plan-that our object
is independence. We have among us
young men who have sacrificed every
thing to this sacred cause. For myself,
/ am an old man, who now has but one
object in life, and that is to see the flag
of Cuba supreme from Cape Maysi to
San Antonio.
"We have already made fearful sacri-
fees, and we stand ready to make more
in order to achieve this glorious end. [
know that the people of the United States
will never balk us in this, our hour of
vistory.
''The idea of arbitrary annexation of
this territory is inconsistent with the
principles on which the American republic
is founded. If in the future, after Cuba
has won her freedom, and it is demon
strated that she is capable of self-apvern-
ment, it became apparent that her inter
ests would be advanced by incorporation
into the United States. l would be the
last to object if an application should be
made for the honor of admission to the
great sisterhood of states. That is very
different thing from annexation"
Asked what his views were on an
American protectOrate over the island,
Gen. Gomez replied that he had no OBJ
lection, believing it would carry a guar
antee of peace at home with respect of
all nations and would permit Cuba to
work out her destiny under the most ia
vorable conditions. In return, he be-
Geves that Cuba should, in her com
merce, favor the United States above all
nations.

WAGES WERE NOT CUT.
Only Slight Changes Are Made In Scale
at Carnegie Mills.

Homestead, Pa, Dec. 3O.-The new
1898 wage scales of the Carnegie Steel
company have been posted in the mills
here. Nearly all the men have been ex-
pecting reductions. Last summer when
the Illinois and other steel companies re-
duced wages there was no change here.
1t was thought when the 1897 scale eX-
PRED the reductions would be made. Only
the men whose wages are based on the
tonnage output of the mills are reduced.
The cut ranges from 5 to 20 per cent.
The day laborers. all men who work by
the turn, and all employees of the Besse-
mer steel mills will continue to receive
the same wages as during the last year.
The tonnage output Of the mills has been
increased to such an extent during the
last year that revision of the scale was
expected and the employees are not sur
prised at the cut. Some OF the tonnage
men have been earning from $12 20 SIS
per day. The scales will be signed by
each employe by Friday. and the entire
plant will resume operations after the
holiday shutdown at midnight Sunday

GERRY SOCIETY INTERPRETED.
WOU1dn't Let Electrician Edison's Little
Daughter Dance,

New York, Dec. 3O.-Madeline, the
9-year-old daughter of Thomas A. Edi-
son, the inventor, was to have appeared
yesterday afternoon in a charity perform
ance at Carnegie Lyceum, but the Gerry
society officers interfered. They informed
the managers of the entertainment that
Miss Edison would not be allowed to ap-
pear, so her part was taken by an older
girl.
The second half of the programme con-
sisted of a performance of "The Pied Pi-
per of Hamelin," in which parts were
taken by more than 100 children. Chorus
songs and elaborate tableaux made up the
greater part Of the performance. Mr.
Edison's daughter was to have appeared
in what was really little more than a
walking part, only a few dancing steps
being intermingled.
The Gerry society agents heard that
little Miss Edison was to perform a dance
and word was sent to Carl Marwig, the
dancing master, who was in charge of
the affair, that she would not be, allowed
to appear. He called on the Gerry So
ciety officers and explained to them that
the affair was to be nothing more than a
childrenS performance for the benefit of
charity, but the Gerry agents persisted in
their refusal to allow Miss Edison to ap-
pear. In addition they instructed Mar
wig not to permit Miss Flezin, a 14-year-
old girl, to appear in gayotte.
The managers of the entertainment
were incensed when they learned of the
action of the Gerry agents, as they had
taken special care to obtain Mr.. Edison's
consent to the appearance of his daughter
in the tabeaux.
At the rooms of the Gerry society the
only explanation of the action vouchsafed
sons daughter was clearly contrary to

fifty or sixty years ago are exceedingly
interesting Many of these ancient teach
ers were unable to write an intelligent an
swer to a simple question. One, on being
asked as to the terms on which she gave
instruction, replied: ''Not understanding
the questing, answer thus: With view
of reading the Bibble." We have the au-
thority of the late Lord Shaftesbury for
the statement that one of these poor
creatures, being asked if she gave moral
instruction to her scholars, replied: mo,
[ can't afford it at Sd. a week" A more
amusing answer, however, was that of
the teacher who was asked whether
proper attention was paid to the morals
of the boys under his care. His answer
was that they did not teach morals
there, as they belonged to the girls de-

RELIEF OF KLONDIKE.
united States and Canadian Of
fiCials Confer on a Plan
of Action.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3O.-Mr. Sif-
ton, the Canadian minister of the interior,
called at the war department by appoint
ment today and had a long conference
with Assistant Secretary Mickeliohn,
who is giving his attention to the Klon-
dixie relief expedition during the illness
of Secretary Alger. Having secured the
consent of the British government to the
passage of United States troops, to be
used as guards, over Canadian territory,
what remains to be done is to arrange
for the admission of the supplies to be
taken to the miners without payment of
duties, provided they are not sold for
more than their actual cost 1t is ex-
pected that this matter can be shortly ar
ranged and that Mr. Sifton will be able
to leave Washington at 800 this after
noon on his return to Canada.
