Averted the Storm.

A certain congressman went home at
very early hour in the morning. He
had made a night of it with some
friends. He knew that his conduct
would be considered reprehensible by
his better half, and so, as he ascended
the steps of his modest home, he rack
ed his brain for some plan to avert the
lady's wrath. As he entered the hall
he saw an umbrella. Instantly it oc-
CURED to him that the umbrella might
be his salvation.
He carried the umbrella up stairs.
Seating himself on chair in the cor
ner Of the bedroom, he raised the rain
guard over his head, and then he
eoughed loudly. His wife awoke and
saw in the dim gaslight her liege lord
sitting solemnly under the raised um-
brella.
What are you doing?" she asked in
natural surprise.
"It is 8 o'clock, my DEAR" said he,
"and am waiting for the Storm"
The congressman's ready wit saved
him from Caudle lecture. He is wor-
rying now, however, to find an equally
effective act for the next time he stays
out late.-Washipgton Post.

An Immortal oratinn.

The funeral oration of Pericles is
pretty nearly what was actually spo-
ken, or else it is the substance of the
speech written out In the historians
own words, says James Ford Rhodes
in The Atlantic. Its intensity Of feel
ing and the fitting of it so well into the
situation indicate it to be a living con-
temporaneous document, and at the
same time 1t has that universal appli-
cation which we note in so many
speeches Of Shakespeare.
A few years after our civil war a
lawyer in a city of the middle west
who had been selected to deliver the
Memorial day Grafton came to friend
of his In despair because he could write
nothing but the commonplaces about
those who had died for the Union and
for the freedom of a race which had
been uttered many times before, and
he asked for advice.
''Take the funeral Grafton Of Pericles
for model" was the reply. 'fUse his
words where they will fit and dress up
the rest to suit our day."
The orator was surprised to find low
much of the Grafton could be used bod
lily and how much, with adaptation,
was germane to his subject.

Real Golden Eggs.

The goose that lays the golden egg
has been found, and it is a Kansas
bird, according to an Atchinson dis
patch to the Chicago Times Herald.
There is not only one of him, but a
whole flock. Mrs. Mursell, who lives
al the mouth OF White Clay creek, a
sluggish stream that empties into the
Missouri river just below Atchinson, is
the owner of the birds, which no
money can buy, and which have be-
come the wonder and talk OF the town.
One of Mrs Mursell's geese was sac
rihced for the Christmas feast. When
she went to clean the craw she discov-
cred that it was filed with what at first
appeared to be minute grains OF sand.
The brightness of the stuff and the
curiosity it excited led her to keep il
to show to her neigh Dor. The neigh.
boris husband, who is an old miner,
saw it, and at once pronounced il
almost pure gold. The tests
made at the jewelers. subsequently,
corroborated the miners opinion.
The yellow particles taken from the
goose's craw were gold. Discovery led
to investigation. A goose egg was
analyzed. 1t was permeated with gold.
Egg after egg was subjected to the
test. and not one failed to show traces
of gold.
A brickyard is located in the vicinity
of Mrs. Mursell's home. The mud for
the manufacture Of the brick made al
these yards is pumped or sucked from
the slimy bed of White Clay creek. A
vast yard OF it is constantly kept on
hand. This oozy mass is the favorite
haunt of Mrs. Mursell's geese. They
waddie in it and eat it all day long.
An analysis of this mud shows per.
centage of gold in every one. Almost
every house in Atchinson is construct.
ed of these bricks, and minute parti.
cles of gold can be seen with the naked
eye-very distinctly under a micros-
cope.
While the gold in the goose's craw
was what might be called nuggets
very minute, however-as well as that
in the mud and burnt brick, that
In the eggs is in soluble state.
