He Doesn't Like Aquarium..

Why any one should ever have de-
sired to own or to visit an aquarium
is a mystery. The view of fish, except
when nicely grilled or when suspended
at the end of fishing line, is one of
the most uninteresting of sights. The
other animals when in confinement dis
play traits which are more or less in
teresting. The lion has a sense of hui
NOR and displays it in the most pleas
ing way when he devours the lion
tanner who has entered too often into
his cage. The bear in his thirst for
buns seems so much like the human
boy that the spectator of his antics
frequently feels an irresistible desire
to hit him with stick.
But the fish has not single inter-
esting trait. He will swim around the
tank in which he is confined with a
persistence which is maddening to the
nervous spectator. He never engages
in genuine fight, but contents himself
with an occasional surreptitious bite
of an enemy's tail, which gives no true
satisfaction to the beholder. If he
happens to be large snake thinly dis
guised as al eel or an octopus or some
other alarmingly ugly fish, ne will
sometimes swim directly at the glass
through which the visitor is looking at
him and thereby give the latter mo-
mentary sensation of horror, but the
average fish cares nothing for the pub
lie and treats his visitors with calm
contempt. An aquarium without fish,
like a seashore resort without the sea,
Is unobjectionable. but an aquarium
with real water and real fish is the
dreariest object in nature.-W. L. AL
den in Pearson's Magazine.

GOOD READING ron THE O A, R,

Two or three weeks ago tne u AIETTE
printed a cartoon concerning McKin-
ley's treatment Of the old soldiers with
che statement that 1t was designed by
member of Joe Hooker post. Now,
that cartoon seems to have caused
some commotlon among the brethren
Of that organization and resulted in
the adoption Of the subjOlned resolu
tions, We have no apologies to make
on behalf Of the paper or explanations
TO propose further than to say that in
our humble judgment the cartoon
fairly represented the treatment &C.
to che veterans by the present admin
tration, and that after the resolutions
have been carefully read 1t will be
found that the principal thing COM
planned of Is an alleged insinuation on
our part that Joe Hooker post might
break away from Its political bosses.
In lts effort to prove itself non-parti-
san the post has proved It's partisan
ship. In the 6rst place they had to-
beg the question to assume that our
statement, that it was designed by u
''membery" would In any way give'the
idea that 1t represented the opinions
of the whole post. But that member
Is not shrinking any responsibility in
the matter The design was made by
Mr. W. N. Paine, prominent and re-
Bpected citizen of Partridge, who has
always been republican and voted for
Mckinley. Following are the resolu-
nOns, and below them is communl-
cation from Mr.. Paine relative to-
them.
Resolutions passed by Joe Hooker
Post at Q regular meeting, August 25th
1900:
Whereas, The attention Of the mem
bers Of Joe Hooker Post, has been
called to q libelous political cartoon
appearing in the Hutchinson GAZETTE
a weekly newspaper printed In the
city of Hutchinson, with the statement
that the same was designed by a mem
ber Of Joe Hooker Post.
And Whereas, The same Is base
calumny on the intelligent and loyal
patriotism Of the members of Joe
Hooker Post.
And Whereas, No member who val
nes his standing in the Grand Army
Of the Republic, whatever may be his
political associations, would presume
20 identify the post with such o breech
OF the rules Of the order, by designing
and causing to be published such car
aOOn.
Therefore, Be 1t resolved by the
members Of Joe Hooker Post, in regu-
Lar session assembled:
First. That neither the design nor
the designer Of such cartoon has the
sympathy or approval Of the member
ship Of Joe Hookeri Post, nor does the
cartoon express the sentiment OF this
post.
Second, That we place the seal Of
our condemnation upon the publication
OF said cartoon.
Third, That no newspaper or other
publication has right to publish or
print anything which may be attrib-
uted to and as the sentiment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, unless
Che same emanates from the same by
authority.
Fourth, That in justice to the mem
bership of the post, we ask that the
Hutchinson GAZETTE, which published
and put in circulation said cartoon,
publish and put in circulation these
resolutions, expressing the sentiments
Of the membership of the post as to
said cartoon.

youth how to hold it. Then old Martin
