expedition, and where there had been
green fields and ripping brooks there
was now nothing but snow and Ice.
1t must have been about this time
that the boys awoke. The cause Of
their dream became apparent. The
hospitable gentleman had locked them
in a refrigerator attached to his place
and had started the machinery. They
escaped by climbing through window
and with their ardor not in the least
bit cooled by their chilly experience
they started for Philadelphia, which
they reached after walking forty-eight
miles in twenty-fOur hours.
The experience had been a most in
teresting one, but it had become ap-
parent to De Zapp and the members Of
the expedition that more rapid prog
ress would be made by reducing the
numbers. A meeting was held and it
was decided that De Zapp and some of
the others should push on alone. The
journey was continued the next morn
ing, with every one in the cheeriest OF
spirits.

A photograph of the czarina nursing

the Russian censor the latter was a
much puzzled official. He consulted
with the minister of the interior, who
was equally perplexed and decided to
consult with the car. 1.-THE best

peror, sis to show this to the czarina

IT'S PREFERABLE.
Why the Barber Wants 70 Become
Convict.

why tne Barber wants 10 Become .
| Convict.
Eyes, SIR" exclaimed the barber, as
he gave the razor a final slap on the
strop. "I'm going out one of these
nights and commit murder or arson or
something" What for?" asked the
second chair, according to the Detroit
Free Press. $50 the court will SEN
tence me to states prison and 1 can
be convict" For heavens sake,
what do you want to be convict for?"
ut is preferable to barbering." How
so?" And the second chair tried the
edge Of his razor on his thumb-nail.
I'm lot of ways. For instance, the
convict never has to worry about clos
ing his shop nights. A Teller always
comes along and closes it for him. He
doesn't get half way home on the last
car and then jump off to run back for
the purpose of finding out if he has
locked the door. Then there's lunch.
Oftentimes the barber can't take the
time to go out for cup of coffee and
a sinker It's different with the con-
vict. He has to eat and he's never
troubled with indigestion, either. And
he quits work at o'clock, too, and
after that hour no one comes to his
door to get him out to give a haircut
early in the morning. The convict
gets two months time every year. The
barber doesn't. He's lucky if he finds
time to take a trip to Chatham. And
then there are the lights. The convict
doesn't have the gas shut off on him
at o'clock at night If last months
bill isn't paid He's never troubled
with gas at all. And the rent. No,
stree, there's where the convict Is
strong. He never has to worry about
the rent. There's someone paying IL
for him every month. And clothes!
The convict never is compelled to grow
q mustache so that he can work up
line of credit under an assumed name
when he wants suit of clothes. All
he does is to tell the warden about 1t
and the suit comes by return mail.
It's the greatest snap on earth. I'm

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

When the Prince visited America in
1859 it was natural that everybody
wanted TO see his royal hghness. At
Natick. few miles from Boston, man
named Barnes kept a hotel. Barnes
was good natured and suffered badly,
so he was considered proper mark for
the Jokes OF the wags thereabouts. The
day before the big parade In Boston,
Barnes announced his intention OF GO
ing in 10 see the Prince.
Whats the use OF doing that said
q bystander. You can't get near him,
and probably would not be able even to
get glimpse Of his highness.
I'm b-b-b- bet ten dollars that c-c-c-
can get near him and t-t-t-talk to him,
too, "stammered Barnes. The bet was
quickly taken, and q committee was ap-
pointed 10 go 90 Boston with Barnes the
next day and witness his attempt to
converse with the Prince. They elbowed
their way through the crowds as soon
as they got to the city and quickly
reached the ropes stretched TO keep the
multitude back. They could see the
Prince, but a squad of policemen pre-
vented any outsider from getting with
in rod of him. Barness companions
began To guy him again, but he simply
said: "W-w-waith minute "A
beautiful black horse had been selected
for the Prince TO ride and soon the
spirited animal was led to the spot. The
horse danced and pranced around for
awhile and then quieted down so that
the Prince could mount. His royal high
ness had scarcely seated himself in the
saddle when the animal began to
plunge and rear I'm a manner that
quickly unseated the rider and landed
him on all fours on the turf. The
crowd was thrown into the greatest eX-
citement. and the police had great trOu-
bic i'm keeping them back. Here was
Barnes's opportunity. and he was not
slow to take advantage Of II. He DART

man and was one of the first TO grasp
the bride OF the prancing horse. The
Prince Of Wales rose quickly and
limped To the Dorse's head. where

learn the extent OF his Injuries. 'Y-y-
your horse is feeling p-p-p-pretty good
today. P-p-prince.' remarked Barnes,
as his royal highncsg approached.
Yes. | guess he is a little too fine"
replied the Prince.

bri,Ne. Barnes turned toward his COM

A PECULIAR
PENSION CASE.
Both the Francis Brothers Served
During Civil War.

George Was Granted a Pension Under Name Of
Harmon, and All Went Well TIL the laitsr's
Widow Made an Application.
Latter After Serving a Long Time Became
Tired Of Life In the Army.
ONLY A FEW KNEW OF THE CHANGE

Pottstown, Pa, Dec 2S.-A story with
n touch OF romance in it, and in many
particulars stranger than fiction, is con-
nected with the recent granting of a
pension TO the widow of Harmon Fran
els, OF Pottstown. He served a term OF
two years during the civil war i'm the
Ninety Pennsylvania Regi-
nent. then re-enlisted, and subsequent
ly came home on furlough. Having
grown tired of "a soldiers life, he did not
care TO go back, but was in a dilemma
how TO get out of it, He told his
brother. George, Of his trouble, and the
latter promptly volunteered to don Har-
mons uniform ana finish his term of
enlistment.
The brothers looked as much alike as
two peas, and, excepting lieutenant,
who was let into the secret. nobody ia
the company discovered the clever ruse.
1t was six months before the captain
accidentally noticed the trick. George
served until the close Of the war under
the name of Harmon Francis, and was
mustered out under that name At the
explosion of the mine at Petersburg,
Va, he was severely wounded.
Some time after the close OF hoStili-
ties George applied for A pension, using
the name of Harmon Francis, and IL
was granted This he drew right along,
always signing his name as Harmon
Francis To the pension papers and in
dorsing IL ON the checks in that way.
Things went along i'm this way until the
real Harmon Francis died four years
ago. and when his widow applied for a
pension she was informed that pen
sion was being paid Harmon Francis.
The Pension Department made an in
vestigation. and George was brought
face to face with the evidences of his
trick He was arrested, tried in the
United states district court in Phlla-
delphia, but his splendid record as
soldier and his chivalrous action i'm re-
licving his brothers trouble secured an
acquittal FOR him.
As IL was impossible for him under
the pension laws TO continue drawing
pension. as he had been doing. a special
bill was passed by Congress giving Geo.
Francis a discharge under his correct
name. Senator Pcnrose and Congress
men Wanger and Butler used their per-
sonal efforts to accomplish this.
A supplementary investigation OF
Mrs. Harmon Franciss claim followed,
and Magistrate j. NJ. Neiman. of this
city. who has been pressing II, was no.
titled last night OF favorable action
yesterday by the Pension Department.
She will receive So per month for her
self and also $S for her four minor chill
dren. dating from February. 1894. Her
marriage to Harmon Francis took place
u number OF years after the war closed.

wHGLE we have no right TO expect
our advice to have any effect in chang
ing the opinion or political action OF a
single colored voter Of this territory,
we cannot withhold our admiration for
the manhood Of the colored people
who had the independence OF character
and the grit in their craw at the
League convention in Oklahoma City,
to say just what they thought ought
10 be said CT Gov. Barnes administra-
ton, and say it in the fearless manner
in which they did say it. Whenever
the colored people assert themselves
and assume their charac er as factors
in the politics Of this territory, and not
trail as an appendage to the Republi-
can kite, their influence and power
will count for something with the par
ties and not before.
