Tall Dragging seems to be the plan
in the. Dockery contest to unseat Rep
resentative Bellamy, who was elected
legally and fairly by a large majority.
Dudley estimates that 10000 republi-
cans were ruled out. Good pay is Of
fered to willing witnesses who can
help out the great office-hunting Oil
yer in his attempt to rob a democrat
of his place in the United States house.
But he is up to any trick that strikes
him as helpful in carrying out a
scheme he enters upon. He ran against
a Hateful snag when he struck Dan
Russell in 1896, n woke up one fine
morning to find hat he was badly
left" and Dan had got there" Duck
cry has been unhappy yer since. Rus
sell stands over him as a m~enacing
shadow. Whether the house will be-

as yet problematical.

1t vas a very striking event at the
opening Of the Law Building Of the
University of Pennsylvania when so
many distinguished scholars from Eu-
rope and this country were present and
were addressed by an Oriental, n of
the Yellow Race, the Chinese ambassa-
dor at Washington, WI Ting Fang.
When vas such a scene witnessed on
this continent since 1t was not discov-
cred by Columbus, but by another, or
In Europe in a thousand years? We
learn that h address was remark
able, was delivered in excellent Eng
lish and was able, scholarly and of the
greatest interest to men Of ability and
education. 1t is something new and
fresh for the Orient to be entertaining
the Occident in the greatest of langu-
ages-the worldwide English tongue.

II was an excellent imitation OF a stick

Sprengle with admonitions TO be very care
ful lest he would lose his head BY a pre-
mature explosion.
'One half Of Il will be enough to blow
out one stump" said Cameron And
you've got 10 cut IL in two"
Sprengle took the package which was
nicely wrapped up. home and prepared Tor
the attack on the stump.
With the stick OF pea soup, a dynamite
cap and fuse he got ready for action, while
his pet dog Towser. OF uncertain pedi-
gree, sat close by watching the operation.

fuse, and applied the match and retired
behind his house. Soon there came lit

the stump still stood in peaceful ignorance
of the terrible fate 1t had escaped.

piece of dynamite" To his horror he
saw the stick disappearing down Towser's
throat. One wild grab he made to save
the faithful animal from destruction, but
Towser made one final gulp and was
loaded.
Sprengle was in despair. He did not
dare touch the dog because he reasoned
the animal might explode. Towser, I'M
conscious of his matters fears, only wag
ged his tail and looked for more stump
exterminator.
Suddenly Towser bolted into the house
and took his favorite place before the
fire. Sprengle gasped with horror. Any
moment might be Towser's last, but what
could he do. If he kicked the dog out the
dog would explode, and wreck the house,
to say nothing of killing all its inmates.
When Towser walked around the room
he had everything his own way. He was
like an engine running Wild; everything
gave him a wide berth. Sprengle prayed
that Towser would not bump up against
