When the Republicans We're about
to nominate somebody to run for gov
ernor in 1914, there Were candidates in
all parts of the woods. The day of the
convention, however. Uncle Dick
went down and without having present
any semblance CT candidacy other than
his own personality, he was nominated
by reclamation.
His brother in law David T. Littley
was a candidate for state treasurer.
He had been to some pains to make his
candidacy an organized feature of the
days preceding the convention. When
Oglesby was named for governor, Lit
tier was put out of the calculations by
reason of coming from the next county
and was side tracked in consequence.
Although Mrs. Oglesby and Mrs. Lit
tier Were sisters, the houses of Oglesby
and Iittler Were far apart from that
time. The heads were so completely
estranged that one did not speak to the
other. For ten years they remained
strangers.
Littler lived in great old fashioned
mansion in Springfield. Oglesty lived
ON his farm near Elkhart. One day. to
the surprise of the Littler family. ex
Governor Oglesby walked in.
''How are You, DaveE' said the ex

''How are you, governor? said Lit

limiting Marsh Hogs.

Hunting wild marsh hogs is an eN-
citing but somewhat dangerous pastime
in southern Texas, said c. L. Fielden
of that state. In the swampy lands
along the gulf these wild hogs have
their habitat, and to hunt them it is
best to have several companions and
numerous dogs that understand the
ways of the ferocious porkers. The dog
will find the game for you, bay it and
hold it in check until you can take n
shot or two. Then everything depends
on your aim. If you succeed in pierc
ing a vital part with your Winchester
bullet, all is over except dragging the
carcass to some convenient point where
it can be handled.
''But dangerous is your position if
your aim is a trifie defective and your
shot only wounds the animal. Some
good and true shooting must be done
instanter then by You and your COM
rades. or else an Infatuated boar will be
rending you with his tusks. have seen
more than one of these old bears shot
through the body 30 or more times and
in that condition fight man and dog
until several balls had been fred into
his head.
I'm the marshes there is no possible
way of escaping an attacking wild hog
except by killing him. The hunter can
make no Roadway through the tall,
rank grass and Eoggy soil, and there
are no trees that offer him refuge. For
these reasons he is compelled to kill his
game when once ii is flushed or become
himself victim. In the fall of the year
these marsh hogs are fat. and their flesh
is of a very pleasing flavor. Wash

4 Cheap Luncheon.

A good story is told in connection
with the last Ascot meeting. An Amer
lean. who was used to going into racing
booths in his own country. ordering
luncheon and paying 81, found himself
hungry at the royal meeting. so he
walked into the first tent handy and
told the attendant to give him some
thing to eat. The man put a sumptuous
luncheon before him, to which, as well
as the champagne, the visitor did ample
justice. He then handed the attendant
3 shillings. received his thanks and was
bowed out of the tent, inwardly con-
graduating himself on the moderateness
of the charge. An English friend whom
he met outside said:

National Museum the Theme,

The Washington Academy of Sciences
held a special meeting last evening in the
hall of Columbian University. 1t was large
ly a social occasion. and refreshments were
served.
An address was delivered by Mr.. Charles
d. Walcott, with the National Museum as
his theme. He said 1t should be the center
of scientific activity. July L. 1897, said the
speaker, in order to meet changed condi-
tions. a new plan OF organization went into
effect. The various divisions and sections
of anthropology, biology and geology, which
had previously been conducted independent
ly of one another. were united under three
head curators. one of anthropology, another
of biology and third of geology. This Sc
cured direct expert supervision and cor
related the work of each department.
The great and pressing need of the
museum. he said. Is building suitable for
the exhibition of the great collections now
in the possession of the government The
present building has 5000 square feet Of
available exhibition space: there should be
available for exhibition space and Iabora-
tories fully 100000 square feet, with a sys-
TEN of buildings so planned that additions
could be made from time to time.
Comparison was made with the American
Museum of Natural History in New York
city, where with one-fourth of the buildings
completed the total floor space is 29i 100
square feet. upon which there has been
spent to date upward of s. 100000 The en-
tire cost of the present National Museum
is some S3l5,OO0.

FAyORs LAKE QUINsIGAMOND,
Needs Only Railway for Obserya-
tfOn Trains.

William Blaikie, the authority on exer-
else for health, has written an article in
favor CT the use of Lake Qunsigamond for
college and amateur regattas. With the
removal of the causeWay across the lake
rear Worcester a fine course is opened.
The OILY objection is the lack of railway
along the waters edge for the use of OBJ
servation trains. He says THE Boston
and Albany railroad runs along a small
part of it. Let that the trolley lay
track along the west shore of the lake for
four miles, and no other water in New
England or the middle states would COM
pare with Lake Quinsigamond for shell
racing"
In reply to the objection that the road
would be built for use only one day in the
year he says: And why confine it to the
Harvard-1ale race? Row the Harvard
Yale race on Quinsigamond waters early
one afternoon, the Cornell -Pennsylva MIA
Columbia an hour later, next day the class
and club races and on the third day the
nnal between the two winners of the first
day. Never since Capt. Strom's Cornell
crew whipped Yale and Harvard In 1879
has either of them whipped Cornell Here
they can stick to it till they do and the
three days racinG will pay all it costs to
lay trolleys. Then have the national am
ateur meet little later on the same

Old Course.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 16.--In an
editorial today, under the caption, yale

News corclusively states the position of the
New HavAn University as regards the
course of the college boat races The News
says:
New London is not without its faults, to
be sure, but none of the courses yet tried
combines so many necessary and attractiv.
features. The crews want to row at New
London, and the board naturally desires to
have them. If there has been a Disagree
mant in any details, 1t certainly has
amounted to nothing more than what one
would naturally expect to find between
parties carrying on a friendly negotiation
And until 1t has been clearly demonstrated
that there is a much better course in every
way than the Thames, Yale crews will con-
tinue to row their annual races at New
London
Commenting upon the advocacy hy a

&C urse just below Springfield, Mass, the

commonly good about a course which rec
ommends itself SO strongly to an authority

gestion which will bear thorough invesriga-
tion.
