Of the name Of Wharton, who had
some land to sell.

"Yes, but it won't do you any good"

"Not that know of, but he wouldn't
see the president of the United States
before next Wednesday. If you can
wait seven or eight days, you can get
to talk about that land with him."
Then he has some special business
on hand?"
Special business? Well, l should
say so and no mistake. Today him and

Nondescript Animals.

The west African water shrew has
the fur and shape of an otter, a tail like
an eel and the habits of an aquatic in
sect feeder.
The panda is very pretty, beautiful
~ furred carnivorous creature found in
the forests OF the eastern Himalayas.
1t is sometimes called the bear cat"
Its fur is a rich red chestnut above and
jet black below, the tail long and
ringed like raccoon's, and its habits
rather like those Of a bear. 1t sucks up
water instead of tapping it and sits up
on its launches to fight.
The binturong is kind Of Asiatic
kinkajou. found in Sumatra and Java.
1t is the only prehensile tailed animal
In the old world, a distinction which ap-
pears to have struck naturalists more
than the detachment of the animal
from all other forms. 1t has a short,
blunt head, woolly. soft fur and teeth
adapted for getting an honest living by
almost any means. Its color is black,
its gait slow. its tail very long and pre-
hensile, It's ears tufted and fringed with
white

Rousseau and the 1mno.tor.

On one occasion Rousseau composed
an opera, which was performed before
King Louis Nv, and met with the
royal approval. The king sent for him,
and If he had put in an appearance he
would probably have obtained a pen
sion. He was, however, of a retiring
disposition and could not bring himself
to face the court. To his friends he
gave as reason his republican opin-
ions, but his real reason was his shy
ness. Accordingly he fed from the
court and sought the privacy of coun-
try inn. While he was there man
came in who began telling the company
that he was the celebrated Rousseau
and proceeded to give an account of
the opera, which he said had been per
formed before the king with great
success.
Most men in Rousseau's position
would have felt nothing but contempt
for the impostor, but this extraordinary
man felt only pity and shame. II
trembled and blushed so," he tells us
in his Confessions" ''for fear the man
should be found out that it might have
been thought that was the impostor."
He was afraid that somebody might
come in who knew him and expose the
pretender. At last he could bear it no
longer and slipped out unobserved.
Very few people would treat an i'm
poster like at.-Westminster Review.

reported to be for the purpose of meet
Ing Vice President Roosevelt. Sen.
ator Dolliver said: "Vice President
Roosevelt is a popular man and has
hosts of friends, but don't know
whether lie is launching any boom for
1904 at this time. Iowa has candi-
date in the person of Leslie NJ Shaw,
and my state is back of him solidly.
I believe that we can count upon other
support, but the date of the next con-
vention is far off and many things
may happen between now and then.
Governor Shaw has strong hold on
Iowa and upon the nation. He is a
safe, conservative man and man of
ability. His reputation Is not con-
fined to the borders of his own state
and his term of governor of Iowa has
been one of the most successful in the
history of the commonwealth"
