An Immortal Oration

The funeral grafton of Pericles Is
pretty nearly what was actually spo-
ken, or else ii 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 ii so well into the
situation indicate ii to be living con-
temporaneous document, and at the
same time ii has that universal appli-
cation which we note in so many
speeches of Shakespeare.
a few years after our civil war a
lawyer in n city of the middle west
who had been selected to deliver the
Memorial day grafton came to a friend
OF his in despair because he could write
nothing but the commonplace about
those who had died for the Union and
for the freedom Of race which had
been uttered many times before, and
he asked for advice.
"Take the funeral grafton Of Pericles
for model" was the reply. Use his
words where they will fit and dress up
the rest to suit our day"
The orator was surprised to find how
much Of the Grafton could be used bod
lily and how much, with adaptation,
was germane to his subject.

Ayerted the Storm.

A certain congressman went home at
a very early hour in the morning. He
had made a night of it with some
friends. He knew that his conduct
would be considered reprehensble by
his better half, and so, as he assembled
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 &C.
CURED to him that the umbrella might
be his salvation.
He carried the umbrella up stairs.
Seating himself on chair i'm the cor
ner Of the bedroom, he raised the rain
guard over his head, and then he
coughed loudly. His wife awoke and
saw in the dim gaslight her liege lord
sitting solemnly under the raised UNI
brella.
What are you doing" she asked In
natural surprise.
ut Is 3 o'clock, my DEAR" said be,
"and | am waiting for the Storm"
The congressman's ready wit saved
him from a Caudle lecture. He is wor-
rying now, however, to find an equally
act for the next time he stays
out late.-Washington Post

Force of Habit.

In 1927. just after Dan Dougherty,
the Irish pugilist, fought his famous
fight with Jem Belcher the English
fighter, on the curragh of Kildare, near
Dublin, he became involved in a con-
troversy with an unknown. The lat
ter was not pugilist, and. not wishing
to take any advantage of his opponent
Dougherty consented to fight him with
pistols. The two met by appointment,
but their seconds, unknown to them,
extracted the balls from the pistols
and substituted blank cartridges. By
the terms of the agreement between
the principals Dougherty's opponent
was TO have the first shot. The natu-
raj instinct prevailed even on the duel
ing ground, and as the fighters oppo-
nent raised his arm to fire Dougherty
elevated his right arm, as If to ward
off blow, evidently intending TO stop
the bullet from hitting him in the face.
After this who can say that fighters
ire not dead game men? -Kansas City

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An ALBANY
I N. Y. dairyman called at drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him TO come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy, which be hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In few hours he returned
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist.
Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for 1t from that part of the country.

People buy comb honey" said q
man from the country, believing that
the fact that IL is sealed by the honest
little bee precludes the possibility Of
fraud The fact is that the bees of
many professional honey raisers do
nothing the llvelong summer but pack
glucose into their hives from an open
barrel that Is left standing close by.
The bee will not search fragrant flow
ers the llvelong day for trlfing
amount of pure honey when he can get
glucose. The honey men see that there
Is plenty of glucose handy, and instead
Of one pound of pure honey they aid
the bees in putting ten pounds of glu-
cose on the market.
Human ingenuity has not devised a
way for making and sealing the honey
comb, or the bee would be dispensed
with altogether. In handling the glu-
cose the bees give IL a honeyish flavor
and If you complain to the bee man
that ii is not as sweet and sticky as il
should be he will tell you that it is the
early crop and that the heavy rains
make IL thin.
II know man who keeps so hives
of bees on the roof of his store in the
city, and by hustling up plenty of glu-
cose he gets enough honey out of the
buzzing slaves TO do wholesale bust
ness in honey. Why his bees never
saw a flower and would shy at a hon
eysuckle if they happened to come near
one. He will not even let the poor
things have recess to get drink Of
water but keeps a pan of fresh water
near the hives for them to drink

IN INDIA
WILL BE MONTHS BEFORE NEW
CROPS CAN RELIEVE THE
DISTRESS.

New York, July 24.-The following letter
has been received by the chairman of the
New York mmit of 100 on India famine
relief, from George Hamilton, secretary Of
state for India:
India Office, July Is. 1901 am very glad
to have had an opportunity of hearing per-
sonally from you of the work which is being
done by the New York of 100
in collecting funds for the mitigation If
the suffering caused by the failur of the
rains in India. ana I am sure you VIII
allow me to take this occasion to ask you
to impress, through the agency OF the ICln-
mittee, on all those in the United States
interested in British India, the Importance
of the part played by private charity in
dealing with the innumerable forms of dis
tress which cannot be met by the direct
agency of the state.
THE latest cable dispatches show clearly
that, even if the expectations of the sea-
sons rain, on which we are justified in
counting, are fulfilled. it will be months
before. the millions Of population affected
by the drouth will have resumed their ac-
customed avocations. During this period
the need for private charity will be as
great as ever: in some respects will even
be greater, as the breaking up of the gov
eminent relief works and the return OF
the population to their homes must neces-
sarily be accompanied with much hardship
OF a kind which the efforts of the govern
mept can hardly mitigate"

VII BE A BATTLE ROYAL.
TOMMY RYAN AND JACK ROOT
AT CHICAGO.
Promises to Be the Cleverest Middle
Weight Contest Ever
Fought.

Chicago. July 24-Tommy Ryan OF
Syracuse, N. Y. and John Root of this
city will fight tonight six rounds at 165
pounds ringside, the coalitions of the
match. 1t will probably be one of the
greatest middle-weight battles eve
fought. 1t will be, a case of a clever.
scientific boxer against d strong husky
left-handed jabber.
On paper Ryan seems to have nuch
the better of it and the betting men have
made him a favorite at 10 to s, but Root
money is plentiful and an ever price will
probably be the best o~btainable at the
ringside.
Root will have the counsel of Joe Cho-
ynski, who is to be his principal second,
a man who has spared manv a friendly
bout with Ryan and knows the latter's
the big Bohemian a considerable advan-
tage. Ryan will ave by Jack J~effries
and Harry Forbes behind him
George Siler is to be the referee and he
will give a decision on points should a
knockout fail to materialize.
Prophets who usually have plenty to
say about the results of coming battles
in the prize ring are uncertain ABOUT %
nights bout. All followers OF fighting
know that Ryan is one OF the shiftiest
men in the ring; that he can hit as hard
as many heavyweights and is a ring gen
eral of superior eXcellenc. he apsO mas
a line of experience that might discour-
age many older men than Root. 1t is
expected that these things will bring him
safely through the with o
but he will have several matters to at
tend to before getting off unframed.
Root is a younger man and full of hard
and telling blows. One opening is enough
for Root. He has also had some jolts
recently that have taught him to keep
his jaw under cover. He has shown him .
self to be game, and has recuDerative
powers that are wonderful. In th course
of a six-round bout he may be ~out-point-
ID by Ryan but if he finds an opening he
is likely to settle the middle-weignt
championship question in a hurry. Root
has over thirty victories to his credit and
if defeated tonight will have h first
black mark against his record.
