FUNNY MEN TO BE BARRED,
GcorSians Demand That Their Gov.
crnors BE Sclntc.

From the Atlanta Constitution)
Many of our politicians are noted for
their wit and humor, and yet it is a re-
markable fact that with very few excep-
items Georgia's funny men have been
barred from our highest political offices.
II is not so in other States. When Ben
Butler was Governor of Massachusetts his
sharp and witty messages set the people in
a roar of laughter time and again. George
w. Peck is a rollicking humorist, but Wis
consin made him Governor. Gov. Bob
Taylor, of Tennessee. is one of the most
famous Of our funny men. In North Caro-
lima Zeb Vance joked himself into the Sem
ate.
Some of our Governors were models of
dignity. Charles J. Jenkins looked like a
noble old Roman. Herschel " Johnson was
as cold as ice. Once when his wife was
in his Office he treated a gentleman so
coolly that he retired much embarrassed.
Mrs. Johnson demonstrated with her hus-
band and told him that he should have
treated his visitor more cordially. as he
had been one of his warmest supporters.
Madam" said the Governor. sternly.
would you have me put on the airs of
French dancing master?"
1t has been the same way with our Sem
ators. Toombs was probably the only
exception. He was witty at times, but
generally he was intensely in earnest.
John Mcpherson Berrien seems to have
set the pace two generations ago. A
colder, more dignified and independent
man was never seen in public life. The
haughtiest representatives of European
royalty who met him in Washington felt
that they had encountered a cold wave.
Berrien absolutely froze them.
Every Cabinet official from Georgia has
belonged to this serious class of men.
Howell Cobb came nearer being joker
than any of them, but / never saw him
when he was not grave and thoughtful
The Georgians regard politics as vital
matter which affects their homes, their
material interests, their taxes, and their
civilization. They may applaud stump
speakers stories and jokes, but they will
never put frivolous trifler or a humorst
in any high office. The cannon people
like Governor and a Senator who reminds
them of the ideal Roman type. | have
heard Senator benjamin H. Hill scores of
times, but l never heard him get off a
joke or tell funny story. He was always
in dead earnest. and yet no American ora
tor ever surpassed him in impressing and
holding the attention of a listening Sem
ate and crowded mass meetings.

A STRANGE TAKING OFF.
Sioux Indian TsO-NOse Killed by
Hail Stones.

CFrom the Minneapolis Tribune)
Word comes from the Rosebud reserva-
ton of the death of Two Nose, one of
the old blanket Sioux, who has had a
varied career. HIS death was caused by
hail while in IN unprotected part of the
reservation, his body being mutilated with
hailstones. Two-Nose was twice before
the subject of the sorrow dance among
the tribe which revered him.
When a young man he, with the young
braves, was engaged in diving, in which
he excelled. The young Sioux dove from
the bank with the avowed intention of
crossing a pond 100 feet wide. AS he
failed to appear upon the surface again
his companions reported him as having
been carried away by evil spirits.
The camp was accordingly moved. the
sorrow dance and mutilation of relatives
resorted to. and the medicine man of
the tribe was importuned to lay the evil
spirit
Three days later Two-N Nose came into
camp in a half-starved, wholly exhausted
condition. He had actually dived across
the pond and entered the submerged pas
sage of a beaver den. Twice he essayed
20 rise to the surface and each time struck
the top Of the passage. Finally. in a state
of strangulation, he reached the air cham
Der where the beaver slept.
In the inky blackness he was unable 10
again find the passage. He accordingly be-
gan digging his way out with piece OF
wood he found in the den, and had soon
completely filled up the passage by which
he had entered. After three days and two
nights of incessant labor he succeeded in
reaching the surface of the ground. This
exploit raised him to the dignity of
medicine man. who successfully defied the
evil spirits.
AS chief medicine man he had dream
in which he was told that he could fly like
t, e eagle. He spent years in gathering
together the various herbs and fetiches he
WAS instructed to use in order to make him
float in the air.
The old fellow had faith In his medicine
and never took the precaution to try it on
a moderate elevation. but went to the top
OF cliff. and after properly amounting his
body. jumped off and began tapping his
arms as bird would its wings. But he fell
to the ground and was picked up for dead
and his funeral rites again solemnized

ZENITH pTrart.aent Sends J. n
Se.vbern 10 the Hospital.

Just as the District Health Department
had begun to congratulate itself upon the
immunity of the city from smallpox the
disease has broken out again in the most
thickiy settled part of Washington A
deal OF pains was taken three months ago
to get rid CT the pest and the department
succeeded in doing it, but, as formerly,
the malady seems TO have been brought
from Z distance to develop here and TO
give the sanitary officers more trouble.
DR.. J. NJ. Ncwbern, about thirty-two
years old and employed in the War De-
partment, under the Quartermaster Gen.
eral, has been striclsenu with the small
pox and was yesterday taken to the small
pox hospital for treatment. DR.. Newborn
recently went to North Carolina on a
vacation trip and returned to Washington
about ten days ago. 1t is supposed that
he was exposed to the disease while upon
this trip and that he brought it with him
to Washington.
DR.. Newborn resided in a boarding house
at 1l12 Thirteenth Street northwest.
where he was taken i'll on Wednesday, On
Thursday the Health Department was
notified that a suspicious case had been
located at the number indicated. An in
spection confirmed the suspicious OF those
reporting the case, and DR.. Newborn was
removed that day to the detention camp
to await the progress of the symptoms.
Yesterday morning it was obvious 10 the
health officials that the patient had small
pox, and he was Immediately taken to
the smallpox hospital, on the grounds of
the Washington Asylum.
The Health Department has placed the
premises at 1112 Thirteenth Street north
west under quarantine. all of it's inmates,
to the number of eighteen, having been
accounted for. The house will be kept
under rigid watch for two weeks, OF

Like flash OF lightning, sudden and
startling, disease strikes down many

upon warnings, unheeded. Food has

Anniversary Of the Birth of tn,
EmnerOr.

-."AAsSA"oES u inc DlTtu VI the
Emperor.
Today is the anniversary Of the birth
OF the Japanese Emperor. Mutsuhito. 1t
will be deliberately observed at the Japan
csc Legation, 1910 N Street northwest.
The Minister. Mr.. Takahira, will be at
home with his secretaries and his at
taches during the day, and it is expected
that the members of the Diplomatic Corps
will call to offer their fluctuations on the
occasion. The growth of Japan as
world power has been synchronous with
the reign of the present Emperor, who
mounted the throne thirty-three years
ago. He has revolutionized the social and
the governmental forms of the Flowery
Kingdom. and his progressive subjects
hold him in much the same high regard
as is bestowed by Americans upon Wash
ington. They have made national fete
Of his birthday, and in Tokyo today bust
ness will be suspended while His Majesty
reviews the troops. The day will be OBJ
served deliberately in all the Japanese
legations and consulates in foreign lands.
This evening, the Minister and Madame
Takahira will give a dinner to about
twelve guests at the legation. The party
will include the half dozen attaches and
as many Japanese students in attendance
on the universities in Washington.

sgd had inherited his intrepid, turbu-

There his agony overwhelmed him
and he threw himself on his bed again

The strains of an organ swelled up
from the nearer church and stole into
his room; voices began to sing. The
singers broke down and merry laugh

door swung open. The voice of the
