The Menasha (wis) Evening Breeze
contained the following notice OF the
death of the original OF Mr.. Dooley:
Lovers Of the humorous and original
writings Of James McGarry, better
known to the world as 'Dooley,' viii
mourn the loss of man who, by his
own peculiar gift, has ascended from
an humble. unknown saloon-keeper to
a worlds famous author. 1t Is said
that many of the most humorous Of his
writing were produced while bolstered
up in bed and in great bodily pain"
The London Athenaeum describes
Maurice Hewlett, now that Stevenson
Is dead. as the prince OF literary story
tellers. There are two points involved,
1t says. One is that with Mr.. Hewlett
the primary interest is that Of the story
itself. and not, as with the most consid-
cradle Of contemporary novelists, some
issue of psychological analysis or phil
osophic idea which the story is mere
ly designed to illustrate. His aim and
his triumph is to riyet the attention to
succession of events, to launch 1t upon
that swinging voyage among ebbing and
flowing emotions whlch-and not, Of
course. the bare succession Of events
Is the proper end of narrative art.
Here are few epigrams taken from
Gustave Vapereau, the French author
of Dictionary of Contemporaries:
Women have way of saying all and
telling nothing; of saying nothing and
telling all.
A woman wishes to find in the man
she loves superiority of some kind
even in evil.
Women love us for our talents, and
adore US for our faults.
A woman's success is not complete
unless she has found some one who
makes her suffer.
Nature has declared a prime inequal-
ity between man and woman-she Is
enchained by what she bestows; he Is
unclaimed by what he receives.
Wit throws out sparks, genius gives
sunshine.
There are little nothtngs which are
everything; they confer elegance on
carriage, originality upon style, per-
fection upon work.
Nothing makes one doubt immortality
more than the frivolity of thought
among the majority of mankind.
Life is a river which depends less
upon its source than upon its affluents.

Military Bicycles.

Both the bicycle and automobile are
meeting with favor from the army au-
thorities in Europe. The bicycle has
ceased to be considered purely as a
means Of locomotion for pleasure, and
is now regarded as an efficient mount
for soldiers. For scouting and the con-
veyance of dispatches, the bicycle is
without a rival, being noiseless, occu-
pying small space and affording a very
Insignificant target to the rife fire of
the foe. It is reliable, and a bicycle
company or division is very mobile.
The wheel also affords the enormous
over the horse in that 1t re-
quires no forage supplies.

Short Stories

Dean Swift OF st. Patriek's, Dublin,
was one day watching with friend the
roof OF a building on which several men
were at work fixing states. Suddenly
one OF the men vanished, Thereupon the
dean turned to his companion and said:
Il like to see man 80 quickly through
his work."
A friend once apologlzed to Robert
Louis Stevenson for not visiting him,
and said that the real reason was that
he did not know where Samoa was.
Stevenson replied that It was simple
enough to ind It. All you had to do
was TO sail out Of San Francisco ON a
ship. and take the first turning to the
left.
The Sultan OF Turkey recently played
an amusing joke at the expense OF
some medical experts at Constantine
pie. When the plague broke out In his
capital the Sultan asked II anything
was known as to the cause. On being
informed that Il was to be found In the
state Of the drinking water, he called at
once for six empty bottles, which he
had filled in his presence, all from the
same one OF the palace wells, placed his
own seal upon them. and then. without
divulging their community OF origin.
handed all six to a prominent analyst.
To his amazement. the report sent In
was that four of the samples contained
plague microbes. The fifth was merely
jutrid water, and the sixth was quite
pure. Abdul Hamld calmly shrugged
his shoulders, and kept his thoughts to

Ellhu Root, the Secretary Of War,
has vein Of humor In his composition
which sometimes finds vent In irony.
During the most trying crisis in the
Chinese affair, group Of newspaper
reporters were admitted to his pres
encc, and, standing In row, piled him
in turn with questions. The Secre-
tary's expression changed from inter-
ested curiosity to rather marked wear
iness as the bombardment went on.
but his manner never lost its gravity,
and when the last Of the group burst
out with: "Mr. Secretary, am inform
ed that the President is very tired of
Conger. and is going to get
rid Of him." "Ah," responded Mr..
Root, with evident relief that the news
was out, you have discovered that at
last, have you?" "Yes; and now could
you tell me whether Mr.. Conger will
be dismissed, or simply superseded?"
Neither; the President with careful
regard for Oriental etiquette, will send
him a poisoned letter."

Snow EireDlaCea.

Sixty degrees below zero Is the
frightfuIly cold atmosphere in which
Alaskan gold-iTunters must often work.
They make freplaces of snow In that
desolate region. The snow is pressed

two or three feet square is built with
them. When the fire is lighted the

but when the fire is out this freezes 30

only for cooking purposes will last for

May Have One Here July 4. Professor S. A.

 MT. Pinkerman in those days con ducted the popular cigar store of the city opposite the green. He was the active man of the committee who sup piled means for the ascension, and sev- era1 well known citizens were asso- ciated with him in the enterprise. The balloon went out to sea and landed on one of the Thimble Islands after a very adventurous voyage. Professor King purposes to arrange for the ascension July through a business mems com- mittee. He has already opened nego- tiations with the gas company to infiate the balloon, which will require 35,OOO cubic feet oe gas.
