Senator-elect Beverage Of Indiana is
I native of Ohio. He was born Oct.
5. 1862, in Highland county. His father
and all of his brothers were in the
union army, and his mother devoted
all her time during the rebellion to
gathering provisions for the union sol
diers. At the close of the war Mr..
Beveridge's father lost all OF his prop
erty and became heavily involved in
debt. The family was forced to give
up the farm in Ohio and moved to ILL

There Mr.. Beveridge's life from the
age of IL was one of great priyation,

Somebody has unearthed a book
written by Barthomolew Anglicus,
about 1860, of which one Of the most
amusing chapters is on the children Of
his day.
They dread no perils more than
beating with rod Che writes). and
they love an apple more than gold,
and make more sorrow and woe for
the loss of an apple than for the loss
Of heritage.
They desire all that they see. and
pray and ask with voice and with
hand. They keep no counsel. but they
tell all that they hear and see. Sud-
denly they laugh. and suddenly they
weep. Always they cry and jangle;
that IL. unless they be still while they
sleep.
When they be washed, anon they
make themselves unclean again. When
their mother washeth and combeth
them, they kick and sprawl, and put
with feet and hands, and withstand
with all their might.
All of which makes 1t appear that
those 1860 youngsters were the same
then as now.

A German lady, arriving for the first
time in England, drove to first-class
London hotel, asked for room, and
was shown into a very small, scantily
furnished one. She said, in a deter
mined manner, and in very broken
English: II will not have this room. "
ssNo, ma'am," said the porter. and
brought in the first box. mani" re-
peated the lady. emphatically. Il will
not have this room!" mo, ma'am, .
said the porter. and brought in the
second box. The lady thought her
faulty grammatical construction was
the reason for the porter's continued
obstinacy. and repeated. with stern
distinctness: Man, will this room
not have" mo, ma'am." said the
porter and brought in the third box
vhereupon the lady left the room in
d,gnantly, but the porter drew her
hurriedly back across the threshold

tonishment. the lift went up.-Tit-

and had practically No control over
them one way or the other.
Cant you throw out the trunk and
back seat?" l shouted to him.
/ heard the man throwing out the
small sacks and the buffalo robes, The
robes seemed to delay the wolves
longer than anything else. They
stopped and tore them to shreds. we
got a quarter mile start. All OF this
time the drunken driver was sleeping
like a log in the bottom Of the sleigh.
The horses were becoming exhausted
and I could feel that they were going
slower. l now urged them on with
whip and voice, but 1t seemed to make
no difference. The bowling behind
us began to come palmer; the wolves
had left the robes and were again gain
ing on us. Right ahead I could see
high ridge in the ice where 1t had
cracked and showed up. A notch nad
been cut in it just wide enough for
sleigh to pass through. l held the
reins steady and tried to slow up
little, In the hope Of steering safely
through the narrow crack. AS we
came upon It saw a dark streak be-
tween the rough cones at either side;
the crack had opened two or three feet
during the day and new ice had form
ed. We struck the opening in the
ridge squarely; the nigh horse reared
up and jumped over the new ice, but
the other stepped on it and broke
through with one forward leg. He
fell. but the other horse dragged him
and the sleigh beyond the.crack. where
We stopped all in heap.
jumped over the dashboard and fell
in the snow beside the horse. He was
struggling to rise, but l guessed what
had happened and threw my body
across his neck and felt of his leg. 1t
was crushed and broken. got out
my knife, cut the breast strap which
held the neckyoke. and called to the
man to unlock the traces, which he
managed to do at last
The wounded horse was again strug-
Cling to rise and had sprawled himself
out of the way. shouted at the other
horse: he started with a bound and
the man and threw ourselves into the
sleigh, half knocking out our brains
as our heads struck together. We
looked back and saw the whole hungry
pack fall upon the abandoned horse
and bear him down just as the poor
animal had succeeded in getting upon
his three sound legs.
The horse that was still attached TO-
the sleigh plunged on brayely for some
distance, with the sleigh tongue al
most blowing in the snow, but he soon
tired out and dragged himself along In
a startled way. But 1t made no differ
ence, as the, wolves never pursued US
again.
We got out and walked beside the
sleigh to keep warm, and, as the crack
was only two miles from town, 1t was
not long before we reached our des-
tination. A party Of men went back
to get shot at the wolves, but, their
hunger being satisfied on the fallen
horse, they made OF before the hunt
ers could reach them. The next morn
ing the passenger took the down stage
back to civilization, vowing that he
had had enough of the northwest. The
drunken driver was promptly discharg-
ed by the stage compapy.-Youth's
Companion.

mons come to the effect that numbers
of the deer are swimming across st.
Simon's sound and landing on the
beach near Ocean pier, says the Sa-
vannah (Ga.) News. The result OF
this is that numerous hunters are get
ting shots and enjoying venison In
such quantities as they have never en-
5oyed that delicacy before. 1t seems
that the deer on Jekyl have increased
so numerously within the past few
years that they are no longer wholly
wild, but at night come up around the
clubhouse and play around the flowers.
Their depredations on the choice beds
Of the millionaires' favorite plants be-
came so troublesome that q strong
wire fence was built and now incloses
some acres of the ground Immediately
around the clubhouse. This kept the
deer away from the flowers, but It did
not do anything toward stopping them
from increasing in numberA When
the storm came it carried away lots OF
the vegetation that the deer had been
feeding on, and there was not enough
left to 90 around. The deer then COM
Smenced to figure on going OF to get
something to eat, and it ended In
their seeking st. Simon's. 1t Ia good
swim across the sound to st. Simon's
beach, but they made 1t, and now the
hunters string along the coast and
watch for them to come. Sometimes
men are in boats crossing the sound
and see the deer coming. A chase en-
sues over the water, and frequently
the deer turn back toward the Jekyl
shore and seek refuge in the woods OF
the island. They seem to know that
no one is allowed to place his feet on
Jekyl without permission from the
club, and in this their instinct tells
them that 1t is better to swim long
way back and get safe on Jeky1 than
| it is to swim even a short way to st
| Simon's and then run the risk OF be-
ing hunted by men on foot and horse
back after they get there. 1t Is
novel state of affairs, but it is safe tt
say that one-half Of the deer coult
leave Jekyl and there would still b.
enough left for the millionaire sport:
who visit that place to have all the!
| wanted to shoot at.
