LITTLE, BUT OH, MYi
How Low-Sized Lawyer Impressed
TImid Servant with HIS
importance.

The following story is attributed to Sen
ator Vest says the Chicago Tribune:
"Before the war there was a lawyer in
Indepedence, Mo-, who was the counterpart
in appearance of the pictures of Pickwick.
He was as fussy in his manner as hen with
a brood of ducks. One day he nearly broke
in the door of residence by his vigorous
use of the knocker. The disturbance was
answered by darky, who was frightened
out of his boots as he opened the door.
Where's your master? thundered the law
yer, and before the darky could answer the
lawyer repeated his question. Then the
darky replied that he was not in.
81 suppose not thundered the lawyer
again. We'll, mind you, now, mind you,
when he comes yon tell him | want to see
him-want to see him at once. Understand! :!
Tell him j. Brown Hovey, attorney at law,
wants to see him at once, at once.
with that Mr.. Hovey turned and disap-
peaied in hutter. When the master came
he asked his servant if anyone had called.
The darky was still in his fright, and with
his teeth chattering he replied:
Yes, sab, dar was a leetle, funny-look-
ing name come, an he said dat | was to tell
you dat Brown j. Hovey, de eternal Lord,
want ter see YOU right away

GOV. Roosevelt's Address.

Fellow delegates, fellow republicans and
Americans: | rise to second the nomination
Of William Mckinley, the president who has
had to meet and solve problems more numer-
Gus and more important than any other presi-
dent since the days of mighty Abraham Lin
coin the president under whose administra-
tion this country has attained higher pitch
of prosperity at home and honor abroad than
ever before in its history. Four years ago the
republican party nominated William Mex inley
as it's standard bearer in political conflict of
graver moment to the nation than any that
had taken place since the close OF the civil
war saw US once mere reunited country. The
republican party nominated him, but before
the campaign was many days old he had be-
come tho candidate not only Of all republicans,
but OF all Americans who were both far
sighted enough to see where the true interests
of the country lay and clear minded enough to
be keenly sensitive to the taint of dishonor
President Mckinley was triumphantly elected
on certain distinct pledges, and those pledges
have been made more than good. We were
then in condition of industrial paralysis
The capitalist was plunged in ruin and disas-
ter: the wageworker was on the edge of actual
want; the success of our opponents would
have meant not only immense aggravation of
the actual physical distress, but also a stain
on the nations honor deep that more than
one generation would have to pass before it
would be enectually wiped out. We promised
that If President Mckinley we're elected not
only should the national honor be kept un-
stained at home and abroad, but that the mill
and the workshop should open, the farmer
have market for his goods, the merchant for
his wares and that the wageworker should
prosper as never before
Well we kept our word. The opportunity has
been given, and 1T has been seized by Amsri-

II never would say mo- .f.. '4iE1s
Because that stirs a fellow up :
And spoils his temper so!
I'D say, play first and study next
And, DO not go to bed, ~
No matter what o'clock it is,
Until your story's read
Il would not know he'd been kept in,
Or ask the reason why;

Miscellaneous.
WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan is a man who cannot be
.narated from his candor, nor from
3ba principles he once adopts. One
~ has to talk with him a few
S,;nutes to learn that that is his
,+rongest characteristic.
When Bryan was nominated for
Drosident of the United States in
1906, all the money he had in the
,rorId was $1O6.25. Yet he was con
.orted. If he had never been nomi-
mated. he would have been just as
nanny. He told me that he never
srnected to receive the nomination,
tbat it was his intention, when the
invention was over, to return-to
nebraska, and de!ote his life tos his
f.miIv and his farm. But as long
slam called to fight for the people,
that will be my main object in life,"
he said.
think he is simply a shining ex-
annie of the saying, brains will
tell" Sometimes it takes years,
bnt the event is sure. The satisfac-
ton of knowing that tickle fate has
not passed him by must be worth
more to him than riches and fame.
Mr.. Bryan's early battle was a
hard me. Few young men had to
struggle as hard as he and with such
moor results. But he was always
contented, and never wanted more.
His parents never told him that he
would some day be the president, or
the admiral of the navy, or the COM
mander-in-chief of the army. They
told him that he was the arbiter of
his own fate. They told him that
thew had battled long and hard with
the world, and had found happiness
only in seeing the rewards of their
Iabors come home to them, and that,
ifhe wanted to make'a success of his
life, he would have to struggle, save,
and be honest. Wise parents were
those.
So believe Mr.. Bryan never x
pected such honors as are being
heaped on him today. He worked
hard. studied, started out as a law
yer, was sent to Congress, bought a
little farm to have a home for his
family, and then worked on an on,
to see how fate would treat him.
He would still be contentedit he had
only his farm and was not known as
one of the most aggressive and in
tereSting of living Americans. Gen
eral Washington was %cOntented as a
farmer in' Virginia. Abraham Lin
coin conceivedhi brightest thoughts
while splitting rails. james A. Gar
field was happy working for his
mother in a little low cabin. Thomas
4. Edison was c~Ontented with a
workshop. None of the parents of
these men ever told them that they
would live in the immortal inches of
fame.-PhOcian Howard, in Success.

HOW A LITTLE INDIAN GIRL PLAYS.

a. - .aa" .r-
Lucy Hawk is a little Indian girl
who lives on a reservation in Dakota.
Her grandfather is the, loved and
honored chief of, his tribe, and Lucy
is has tavOrite grandchild. She is d.
sweet little girl with willing hands
and feet, ready to do the bidding of
the teachers at the mission school
where she lives for eight months of
the year, She speaks English with
a pretty accent, andsteps about with
a quaintdignity and grace that please
the eye and gladden. the heart.
On cold or stormy days, after
school hours are over and household
tasks are done, Lucy turns with a
happy heart to the playroom, where
she amuses herself by making moe
casins for her funny babies, or max
ing dresses for them from bits of
bright calico, which perhaps some
child in the far away East put in the
missionary barrel. When tired of
the babies she. gets her pebble tops,
of which she has a number hidden
away in the pocket of her dress,
tucked away in a corner of her pig
eonhole in the row Of boxes in the
playrOom, or buried. safely under the
steps,, It is only a common pebble
with smooth sides, and a little white
child would never call it atop; but
Lucy drops it with a little twirl of
the fingers, and sends it spinning
away with a dizzy rush, and she fol
lows it up with whip, flashing it un-
til she is tired and out of breath,
the pebble Willing faster and faster
the longer the flashing continues.
Sometimes she pasteS bits of bright
paper to the sides, and then the
spinning pebble seems to be covered
with rings of. color. 1t is a pretty
play, and mover loses it's fascination
for the little brown children.
When at home, Lucy goes cOasting
sometimes, and what do you think
she has for asled? You would never
guess, sol will tell you. A big buff
falo skin is spread on the snow at
the top of the terrace which divides
the prairies from the river bottom.
Lucy and her sisters, find a nice warm
seat on the soft fur, the child in
front gathers the ends ove her feet
and holds on tight and fast as those
behind give a starting push, and
away they go down the steep slopes,
and come to u quick stop at the foot,
a screaming, laughing squirming
heap of tousled heads and twisted
shawls. . ...... ra.ra

Microbes of the Sea.

From the study of phosphores cent
microbes, which has greatly interested
students OF sea phenomena, biologists
have now passed to the study of sea
microbes in general, and are announc-
lug their results with much enthusi-
asn.
The inference is that aquatic life
produces more interesting variety Of
microbe than do the circumstances
with which we are more familiar.
Some OF the luminous or phosphor-
esoent microbes. for instance can live
comfortably at temperature Of zero,
centigrade. Others give out beautiful
colored liquids during their period of
development. Many of the ocean
microbes are also capable OF sponta-
neous movement. As to form they
are varied and have been found ir
almost all shapes,
The greatest number of microbes
are to be found near the shore. tng
plumber decreasing toward the sea.
