Mr.. Dooley on Platform Making.

tween the dimmicrats an th' raypub-

choice iv principles. Th' dimmycrats
lost. dinnaw why. Mebbe they
stopped to take dhrink. Annyhow,
they lost. Th' republicans come up
an they choose th' we commind ,lprin-
ciples an they was nawthing lift fr

about, but tn dimmycrats didn't like
th' way th' thing shtud an so they
fixed it up between thin that which
iver won at tn iliction should COM
mind an congratulate an them that
lost shud denounce and deplore. An
SO it's been, on'y tn dimmycrats has
had so little chanet f'r to do amy
thing but to denounce an deplore that
they've almost lost tn use iv th' other
wurruds.
"But with Billy Bryan It's diff'rent.
He's out in Lincoln, Neebrasky, far
finn home an he says to himsilf: ME

other facilities, he says. 'I'll write a

plores till th' hired man blows th' din

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.

The Peculiar Way Some Men Act
When They Are Wounded.
II you take n dozen soldiers as like
each other us peas SO far as height
weight. strength, age. courage and
general appearance go and wound them
all In precisely the same way. you will
find that scarcely any two Of them are
affected alike.
One man on receiving a bullet in his
leg will go on fighting as II nothing
had happened. He does not know. In
fact. that he now contains n bullet.
But perhaps IL two or three minutes
he will grow faint and fall.
Another man. without feeling the
slightest pain. will trcmble all over.
totter and fall at once. even though
the wound is really very slight.
A third Will cry out in n way to
frighten his comrades and will forget
everything in his agony. \ fourth will
grow stupid and look IKE an IDIOT.
Some soldiers wouu.e,i in the slight
est manner Will have to he carried Of
the field. others. although perhaps
fatally injured. can easily walk to the
ambulance. Many die quickly from
the shock to the nervous system.
A very curious case is recorded In
the surgical history Of the American
civil war. in which three officers were
hit Just Mt the same time. One hac
his leg from the knee down carried
away, but he rode ten miles to the
hospital. Another lost his little finger.
and he became a roving maniac. while
q third was shot through the body
and, though he did not shed drop Of
blood externally. he dropped dead from
the shock.-New York Telegram.

ORIGIN Of the Boat.

Only lately has the original boat been
found In use and among the savages
Of the south sen islands. There tho
natives take the stump Of a tree whose
roots offer good seat. and. launching
this primitive craft. they paddle around
as contentedly as If there was no such
thing rs n European steamer. and, to
tell the truth. they do not suspect its
existence.
There can be no doubt whatever that
In this stump boat we have the original
method Of transportation by water.
Accident certainly contributed to this
discovery.
A tired swimming savage found log
floating near him. He grasped 1t and
found that 1t held him above water.
He mounted his log and used floating
branch to propel the log.
1t was but Il step from the log to the
more comfortable root Of n tree and
another step from the branch propeller
to a shaped paddle.

LEADERS of tho Democratic party
in some places are said to be cousp;r-
ing to cause strik, s among men EN-
ployed on railroad, and in maaufac-
turing plants. The report may be
true and it may not be true, but
there is this about the question of
party strikes that almost disprGves
the story. The employees ere neither
Democrats or Republicans, they are
of all parties, aud as far as psriy
lines 60 it could not be a party
affair. So with the men at the head
of the plants they are of all parties

business wants legislation and then
it takes the party thst c.n give the
legislation desired. If any Demo.
cratic politicians are fools enough to
believe that that can organize inteili
gent workmen into strike to pull
the aforesaid politicians into Office,
they will know more about the matter
after they have tried il, and the men
who GO with them will know more
after they have tried it and lost their
snug places. It does seem strange
that when work and earnings come
to people they get ready TO strike.

The Bullet and the Mark.

who served with that fearless COM
mander. ''once said to me that the
right bullet would always find its
mark no matter how small the latter
might lie. and then lie related an Incl
dent which occurred during the civil
war. In one OF the enga agcinents Of

whether or not lie mentioned the place
"A piece of shell hit the ground near
where soldier was standing and
scared him so badly that he jumped
straight up in the air like n rabbit. As
he did so Il mimic ball knocked OF the
crown of his head.
That WIS the one particular bullet
intended to kill him. said General
Lawton. and he actually had to jump
after it,

There Are Ne 0oeA 1hangs -
aGangns - Criaanals.
'sThe gang idea as applied to Grim
fnals b ridiculous blunder." said an
experienced detective. There are no
such things except In story books.
There seems to be something about the
inner nature Of confirmed crooks that
forblds them to band together. Honest
folks instincuvely drift toward each
other and form societies and combine
tions for self protection and mutual
interest. but criminals are exactly the
reverse.
"Safe burglars generally work In
parties of three, but that Is because
three men are necessary to the average
.job'-twO to manipulate the drill and
other tools and one to pipe or watch
the outside. Whenever It II possible
for burglar to turn q trick as they
call 1t. single handed he Is certain to

thieves.
"YOu read Of gang Of pickpockets
descending on some country fair. They
do their work in pairs, 50 in that case
1t would simply mean that six or eight
Of the crooked couples happened to
strike the place at the same time. The
detective novel theory is that criminals
are organized into great societies with
regular heads and cast iron laws and
bylaws, to violate which means sud-
den and mysterious death.
THAT Is all rubbish. II such an or
ganization was formed, the police
would know It ten minutes after the
first meeting adjourned. One of the
things that keep>thieves apart is their
horrible treafhery. I have been O de-
tect!TTI ior over a quarter Of a century,
and l never knew a single crook who
would not betray any other crook
merely to curry favor with the officers.
They are well aware Of that little pecul-
iarity themselves and dread one an
other n good deal more than they dread
the authorities."-New Orleans Times

An Experience In the Monkey Ten
pie at Benafes.
On the occasion Of our visit to the
monkey temple at Banares we had
provided ourselves with popcorn and
other goodies which we expected to Of
fer their holinesses. But the monkeys
did not give us chance to do that.
They snatched the dainties from our
hands. and when our supplies were ex-
hausted they amused themselves by
mimicking us.
One Of our party, who had a bad
cold, used his handkerchief with con-
siderable emphasis. Scarcely had he
replaced his handkerchief in his pock-
ct when a monkey seized the protrud-
ing end. pulled 1t out and gave an ex-
cellent imitation Of the act. Then, Of
course, some of US had kodaks, and
after We had taken several pictures
another personification of impudence
picked up q little block Of wood which
lay upon the ground and with 1t took
several snapshots at US.
A third Ill conducted simian "a vain
female, who deserted her infant for
the purpose) grabbed from my shoul-
ders a red chuddar scarf and in a few
flying leaps carried 1t to a lofty NINA
ret. There she put 1t on and evidently
"fancied herself" immensely. But she
was not allowed to retain her prize.
In about three minutes at least 40 mon-
keys had bit a piece Of my precious
chuddar.
Then our native guide informed ME
that the monkeys were very fond of
scarfs and that they captured great
many on the stone CHATS" near the
temple while their o".-ncrs were bath
ing in the river. Perhaps on the prin-
ciple that "misery loves company" he
seemed to think his item OF news
ought to console me; but. although the
"monkeyshines' continued as long as
we stopped in the temple compound"
I no longer found them quite 20 lu-
