THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MAN.

I've been a.readin these mouths past
 Bout n man behind hoe, Au man behind grlp sack
 With lots Q snap an gol Then the mau behind tue engine,
 An man behind the bali, But one soul haiut been mentioned
 That you bet can beat en all. Right get,iu down to bedrock,
 If 1t hadn't been for Eve All the hoeing Adum eyer'd done
 Ton could put straight mp your sleeve! An l guess that poor old Noah
 Wouldn't thought it very fine To hoe around his grapes all day
 All mosey ont to dine. An then comin' right on down To this ere time O ours, Nou'd find the men sorry lot
 Without their right. hand bowers! Who Is it gets up with the lark
 An cooks an scrubs an cleans, While way out meath spreadln oak Her man rests on his jeans? Ills wcIk can wait, but hers cannot,
 And while he hoes the coru, She does hundred different things
 An ut l2 she blows ths horn. An when at night the hoen : done Aa' he lays down to rest Who Is 1t, tired and weary-worH,
 Lulls the baby on her breast? Then sews. u talkIn' low to Tom
 How he must sleep au grow To be n big, strong boy right soon, 50 he eau heip paw hoe. An if perchauce his country calls, The pan drops his hoe to go, Wh" is it then picks up the tool
 An finishes out the TOW? An when, all battle scared an maimed He comes back, one arm gone, Who is it hopes an sings an prays, A hoeing right along? Ah talk about your boys an men An praise 'em all yer can, But remember, the mans behind the
 hoe
 An the woman's behind the man. --Anuella $. Gilmore In Omaha Bee.

To Save Cape Nome Gold.

The gold of Cape Nome is exciting there be wild rush to the bleak bit of Alaska coast iL the early spring, but the wits of many a shrewd Yankee will be applied to the invention of ways and means of more quickly extracting from the golden sand and its wealth yellow treasure. Two Butte mining engineers, says the Spokane Review. patented an invention by means of which they hope to leap quickly to fortunes. Tue men are Gust A. Over. strom and J. F. Hanson. The inven- tion is pump dredge The theory IS that the gold Tn the Cape Nome beach is washed in from the ocean. Xvi dently there IS gold under the waves as well as on the beach and it is this gold under the waves that the Butte men are after.
 Briefly stated their scheme is to plant small dynamo on the beach with traction engine. The dynamo will be connected with au air-tight cen trifugal pump which will be placed upon the sandy floor of the beach out beyond the low tide line. This pump is expected to pump up the gold bear ing sand and to convey it to the beach through steel pipe into sluice box An ingenious arrangement of pulleys. with the ability to shorten or leagthen the delivery pipe makes it possible to move the pump around over the ocean floor and to operate over large terri tory. The machinery is planned to he so compuctly built that 1t cau be packed up and carried along the beach to new diggings by the traction engine when desired.
 Peterson and Hanson of Butte are going to Cape Nome in the early spring to install the plant. As the beach under the water is not subject to loca- tion the men believe that they may dredge up the sand wherever they like and no one may question their title to all the gold they can save

THE PRESIDE.

By Nathaniel Cotton, at eminent physician, a contemporary and friend of the poet, Cowper,
 Dear Chloe, while the busy crowd, The vain, the wealthy and the proud,
 In folly's maze advance; Tho singularity and pride Be call'd our choice, we step aside,
 Nor ioln the giddy dance, From the gay world we'll oft retire To our own family and fire,
 Where love our hours employs; No noisy neighbor enters here, No intermeddling stranger near,
 To spoil our heartful joys If solid happiness we prlze, Within our breast this jewel lies,
 And they are fools who roam; he world has nothing to bestow; From our own selves our joys must
 flow,
 And that dear hut, our home Of rest was Noah dove bereft, When with impatient wing she left
 That safe retreat, the ark; Giving her vain excursion OCT, The disappointed bird once more
 Explored the sacred bark. Tho fools spurn Hymen's gentle pow.
 CTS,
 We, who improve his golden hours,
 By sweet experience know That marriage, rightly understood, Gives to the tender and good
 paradise below. Our babes shall richest comfort brug: Ii tutored right, they'll prove spring
 Whence pleasures ever rise; We'll form their minds with studious
 care To all that's manly, good and fair,
 And train them for the skies. While they our wlsest hours engage, They'll joy our youth. support our age,
 And crown our hoary hairs; They'll grow in virtue every day, Aud thus our fouudest hopes repay,
 And recompeuse our cares, No borrow'd joys! they'r all our own. While tu the world we live unknown,
 Or by the world forgot; Monarchs! we envy not your state; We look with pity ou the great,
 And bless our humber lot Our portion is not large, indeed, But then how little do we need,
 For natures calls are few; Iu thls the art of living lies, To want no more than may suffice,
 Aud make that little do. We'll therefore relish with content Wha,e'er kind Providence has sent,
 Nor aim beyond our power; For if our stock IS very small, , lis prudence to enjoy 1t all,
 Nor lose tue present hour. To be resigned when ills betide, Patient when favors are denied,
 And pleased with favors given; Dear Chloe, this Is wisdom's part, This Is that inceuse of the heart,
 Whose fragrance smells to heav'n. We'll ask DO long, protracted treat, Since winter life Is seldom sweet; But when our feast is OCT, from table we'll arise, Nor grudge our sons with envious eyes, Nor the relics of onr store. Thus, hand in hand, thro life we'll go; It's checkered paths of joy and woe, With cautious steps we'll tread 9uit it's vain scenes without tear. troable or fear, And mingle with the dead. While conscience, like q faithful friend, Shall through the gloomy vail attend, And cheer our dying breath; Shall, when all other comforts cease, like kind angel whisper peace, And smoothe the bed of death.

HE LIKED THE CARTOON.
A Story of InScrsoH and an Artist
Who Cnricaturcd Him,


A New Orleans artist tells this interest
ing little story of the late Colonel Rob
ert G. Ingersoll: Over 20 years ago,
when / was n boy between IA and 10,
Colonel Ingersoll was creating great ex-
element among the devout by his first
assaults orthodox religion. l always
had knack for pen aud ink sketching,
and one day | drew a cartoon represent
ing the great agnostic registering at the
Hotel de Inferno. The devil was behind
the desk as clerk and was supposed to be
saying: Front! Make up nice bed of
Goals in No. III for Colonel Ingersollr
without telling anybody of it for fear
of being laughed at l sent this not over
brilliant production to the New York
Daily Graphic, which was then at the
zenith of its career as the only illustrat-
ed daily in the world My father sub
scribed for The Graphic, and you may
we'll believe that scanned it with fever
ish interest every evening when it arriv
ed at our home. Finally, after the lapse
of couple of weeks, l was struck dumb
one day to see my cartoon ON the front
page 1t had my name in bold letters
across the corner, and am certain there
was no prouder or happier boy in the
whole country. l never got any pay for
the drawing, but / basked in local fame
and was fully satisfied.
at so happened about a month later
that Colonel Ingersoll came to town to
deliver his then famous lecture on The
Mistakes Of Moses and he was standing
in front of his hotel chatting with some
gentlemen when l passed by and was
pointed out as the author of the recent
cartoon in The Graphic.
"'What! that boyp exclaimed InGer-
soil. Call him over
"rhey did so, and when l was told that
the jovial, portly stranger was really the
redoubtable agnostic whom | had pictur-
ed in the internal regions l was ready to
sink with embarrassment. Colonel lnger-
soil observed my confusion and put me at
my ease by declaring the cartoon had
amused him immensely. Then he inquired
kindly what instruction l was receiving
in drawing and ended by sending to his
room for a copy of his printed lectures,
which he presented to me- after writing
his name on the fly leaf.
81 was grown man when l met him
again and must have changed greatly,
but he gave me a quick, keen look when
we shook hands and asked me whether
we had not encountered before. I seem
to have you associated with something

Der what The episode was rather awk-
ward to recall, SO / made an evasiye re-
ply and after chatting n moment passed
on."-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

SOMETIMES REQUEST 1T.
Men Are Actually Learning to Ask
To Have Their Lives Injured

Men Are Actually Learning to Ask
to Have Their Lives Insured.
Life insurance is a commodity that is
at last sought for to some extent. 1t is
years since its utility has been question
cd, but the peculiar fact has nevertheless
remained that though one of the greatest
of modern essentials and so conceded by
all sane men, yet its acceptance by the in
dividual needing it has been due wholly
TO the persona! solicitation of those hav-
ing it for sale.
OF late years, however, insurants have
come to the point where they not infre-
Quently seek the indemnity themselves,
or at least send for agents of leading
companies and announce that they wish
to take out policies. This is a marked and
important step in the history Of life un.
derwriting. though why it should not al
ways have been the case is one of the GU.
riosities of human thought. Why man
should hasten to insure his warehouse,
which will probably never burn, and yet
have to be importuned to insure his life,
which in due time he knows he must Ger.
tainly lose, is an oddity of the human
mind that has ever been puzzle to the
student Of insurance. But such is still
the case today despite the fact noted that
some men, ADLER and shrewder than their
fellows, have at last learned to ask the
privilege of being insured.
or the hundreds of millions Of new in
surance issued during the past year prob.
ably less than 5 per cent was requested
by the insurants themselves. The rest
will have been due wholly to the men
who drew the new policy holders atten-
ton to the value of insurance and stuck
TO them until they made them under,
stand and believe it. However, 5 per
cent Of inherent shrcwd sense, of know,
ing what is needed and sending for it, is
perhaps good average for mankind as u
whole in nything.-Cincinuati CONNER,

young private secretary to cabinet Off

"There was q certain departmental Sc

conceived the idea which formed the arti-

interest locally and as matter of news.
"With this idea dimly outlined in his

judicious questioning had obtained the

In some "reminiscences Of Gladstone

this passage: THE late Mr.. Charles
Bradlaugh, incredible as it may SEEM
exercised a strange fascination over Mr.
Gladstone. for which no satisfactory cx-
PLANTATION has hitherto been given. When
the honorable member arose to address
the house. the aged statesman would
leave his seat in order to get nearer TO
the speaker. and il Mr.. Bradlaugh uncx-
pectcdly took part in 4 debate during the
temporary absence of Mr.. Gladstone the
latter would almost invariably enter the
house few minutes later, as If he had
come specially from his private room to
hear the speech, and it seemed as il he
had made arrangements to be informed
Immediately Mr.. Bradlaugh caught the
speakers eye
Some time after the death of Mr.
Bradlaugh there was n debate in the
house Of commons as to the adyisabcness
of allowing n Roman Catholic to become
lord chancellor. Mr.. Gladstone delivered
a most eloquent speech in favor of the
proposal, and in the course of his re-
marks incidentally paid tribute to that
distinguished man. Mr.. BradIaugh."

THE TRAGEDY OF A DUN.
And How St. Peter Took n Hand In
the Collection Business.


He had long been annoyed by this par
ticular bill collector. There was some
thing about the logged patience of the
man that irritated him. His voice was
soft, his manner smooth, and yet the soul
of the debtor rose against him. He
couldn't be shaken off. Nothing save n
full payment of the account would satisfy
him. And that sort of heroic treatment
was contrary to the debtors principles.
Once when he asked, when shall
call again." the debtor had rudely an
swered. Never"
'Thank you" said the patient collector.
81 will make note of it." He did so
with much gravity and then added: at is
no trouble, assure you. | will call again
tomorrow"
And the debtor ground his teeth in i'm
potent rage.
One day the debtor was quite alone
when the collector called for the ninth
time that week, and it was only Wednes-
day. A flame of fury leapcd in the debt
or's breast His fingers opened and shut
convulsively.
~ will leave the statement" said the
collector in his soft tones. 1t was the
seventh statement be had left since the
preceding Saturday.
Then the debtor sprang upon him and
shut off his wind. He left him SPRAYING
on a chair and. turning on all the gas jets
in the room, hurricdly went forth.
They found the collector few hours
later, and the coroner's verdict was death
from asphyxiation. Nobody showed any
suspicion. 1t was merely regarded as a
queer accident.
The debtor went back to his work, and
his conscience never bothered him. Even
when he came to die he made no confess
sion.
But as he went up the narrow path he
felt in his ghostly bosom that an explana-
ton Of the affair would probably be de-
manded ut the great white gate. he was

TO GET ONES OWN PATENT.
The Course to Pursue If an Attorney
Is Not Available.


The patent office commissioner, in an
swer to an inquiry concerning the course
of procedure in obtaining a patent, re-
plies as follows:
Zone having made IN invention in Or
der to obtain patent therefor must exc
cute and file in the patent Office an appli-
cation for the same, together with SIS,
the first government fee An application
consists of n petition setting forth the in
vention and praying for the grant of the
letters patent, specification describing
the invention, specifically claiming the
new features. n drawing illustrating the
invention and an oath which must set
forth that the invention has not been in
public use or on sale or described in any
publication for more than two years be-
fore the date Of the application and for
which no foreign patent has been granted
for more than seven months. Upon the
receipt of the application it is sent to one
of the sc divisions of the patent office TO
which by its nature it belongs. In due
course it is taken up for examination to
determine whether it is new and useful
IF found to he new, an application Is
allowed the applicant. He is notified
thereof and is given six months in which
to pay the final government fee of 500,
and the patent is issued within three
weeks after the final bill is paid. If the
application is found to lack novelty. a
letter is written to the applicant pointing
out the objections and referring him to
any prior patents or publications which
may have bearing on the case. A pat
ent if for a mechanical invention is
granted for II years. Other patents are
granted for 81, and IA years, the gov
eminent fee being respectively $40, SIS
and $50.
AN applicant for patent need not
employ n patent attorney, but it is pref
cradle that he employ one who is familiar
with preparing applications, versed in
making claims and preparing the proper
amendments if necessary" - Chicago
