An ODD Sort of Dinner.

Lord Polkemmet, a Scottish lord OF
session, usually retired 10 his coun-
try residence during the part OF the
year when the court does no business.
John Hagart, the Scottish advocate,
equally idle from a similar cause went
10 shoot, and, happening 10 pass Lord
P.'s property, he met his lordshlp. who
politely invited John 20 take. or. as he
said, to TAX, family dinner with him
self, his wife and daughter
John accepted the invitation, and
they all assembled at the hour OF dn
ner. There was joint OF roasted veal
at the head OF the table and stewed
veal at the bottom. veal soup IN the
middle. calfs head on one side OF the
soup and veal outlets on the other.
calfs foot jelly between the soup and
roast veal and calfs brains between
the stewed veal and the soup.
moo" said his lordshp In his own
blunt way, "Mr Hagart, you may very
likely think this an odd sort OF dinner,
but ven no wonder when you hear the
cause OF IT, We keep nae company.
Mr Hagart. and my daughter here ca.

just this: We KIN beast, as Il were,

The Vampire Bat.

South America, especially Venezuela.
Is the home Of the vampire bat, that
horrible animal whose blood sucking
propensities are 50 well known. In
Venezuela the vampire when caught is
often made the subject OF an expert
ment that is as curious as IL Is cruel,
though In connection with such n loath-
some animal as this giant bat the cruel
ty is rather naturally lost sight OF by
the people who have to suffer from It's
Iavages.
The vampire is captured In a thick
rloth. II is then taken out, and through
Its two extended wings nails are driv.
tn, securing the animal to door or a
wooden pallng. A cigarette is then
lighted and placed 10 the bats mouth.
At once the animals eyes shine
strangely, and II begins 10 pun the
smoke In and out with frenzied gasps,
It's actions being exactly those OF the
most hardened smoker, keeping firm
hold Of the cigarette the while between
its sharp, deadly teeth. When the Gig
arctic is nearly finished, a blow on the
head puts an end to the animals ex-
lstence.
The extraordinary part Of the expert
ment lies in the fact that the bat does
not at once reject the cigarette, as he is
OF course at liberty TO do. There are
many who affirm that the bat really
does enjoy the tobacco. The probabill-
ty is that the animal is so maddened
by fear and pain that he puffs away
unreasonlngly and fiercely, his instinct
telling him that In the properties OF the
tobacco lies oblivion.

lie Used the Dye

Queen Margherita OF Italy was anx-
ious that her husband. King Humbert
should follow the example OF his In.
ther and the fashion common among
elderly PiedmOntese officers and dye
his hair. Her pleadings were IN vain.
Seeing entreaty was In vain, the queen
had recourse 20 stratagem. She caused
q quantity OF fine hair dye TO be sent
from Paris and put In the kings dress
ing room, together with directions for
It's use, making, however, no allusIon
to the subject. The king. too, said
nothing, though he could not fail to see
the pigments.
Now, the queen had a large white
poodle OF which he was very fond.
What was her horror a few days later
to see her pet come running into her
room with his snowy locks all turned
to jet black. King Umberto had ex.
pended the dyes upon changing the
color OF the pOOdle's halrl From that
DAY forth the subject Of hair dye was
dropped between the royal couple.

Put to the Hon. Thomas H. Tongue
Thursday Evening.
A SQUARE ANSWER DEMANDED
TO A FEW SQUARE INQUIRIES
From the Ablest Republican Congressman that Has Ever
Represented this District from
Oregon.

Congressman Thos. II. Tongue speaki
at Salem, Thursday night, in the inter.
est Of the Republican party. He will
no doubt I'll the Armory with his ad.
mirers and they will no doubt endorse
all he tells them. He is an able man
and a fne representative OF the pro-
British imperialiStic tendencies of the
Republican party Of today II the Repub-
lican party is not defeated for it's depar-
ture from bedrock Republican princi-
Piles, he is probably destined TO repre-
sent this district IN congress, while we
have a Republican congressman. and we
wish TO say that for the kind he is the
best man the Republicans can send there
and we say this without any reservations
whatever, aud with the highest court
esy and respect for the Hon. Tom
Tongue.
The editor Of The JoURSAL does not
imagine himself match for 80 able a
lawyer and orator as Tongue, but would
still like some enlightenment about
matters Of great public moment, and
would like to show how the modern
apostle Of Republication has wandered
form the faiths Of the fathers in such in
consequential matters as the treatment
Of struggling Republics. the treatment
OF new territory, the surendering Of
hundreds Of square miles Of Alaska TO
England, the levying OF tariffs on our
island possessions, the refusal TO give
our possessions territorial form Of gov
ernment as advocated by Mr. Corbett,
and other important matters.
But we are going 10 ask you a few
hard questions and we shall enjoy see-
ing you answer them or dodge them to
the best Of your ability. We shall do
this in the greatest spirit Of courtesy and
with only the best Of good will toward
you personally, and solely for the pur.
pose Of being enlightened ourselves II
that is possible, as we do not pretend TO
have solved ali these problems, or that
you have not honestly acted 10 the best
OF your ability and intelligence on all
these matters.
Mr.. Tongue, you will no doubt tackle
the trust question. We would like to ask
you one point blank question, and get
a square answer. II you, Mr. Tongue,

He went there early in October to in-
vite the General TO come over and assist

"The Army which has the power un :
der it's charter 10 issue ponds" the Com.
msnder said "may issue bonds to the
amount of $780, 600 TO put the colonies
on firm basis. It has been said that
the poor in the cities do not want TO 60
into the country to live. They do want
to 20 into that country.
81 have 5000 more applications for
homes in our colonies than can grant.
General Booth is great organizer and
will be able to aid us in a satisfactory
solution OF the problems"
When asked as to the rumor that he
was to be transferred TO some other
command, Commander Booth.Tuoker
said he knew nothing Of it.
