Killed Classical auo,atiop..

In tracing the decline Of the use Of
classical quotations in legislative bod
les the Boston Herald cites the case of
Edward Everett. who once concluded
q stately speech In congress with a
long, sonorous and superbly modulated
citation Of a passage from Tacitus and
then took bis seat. No sooner was he
through than up sprang q burly mem.
Der from what was then a frontier
state of the west. He had once been
an Indian agent. and no sooner was he
on his legs than he began to pour out
a vehement harangue In Choctaw.
After awhile the speaker called him to
order.
II don't see why my freedom Of
speech should be abridged" he cried.
"You let the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts run on. and didn't under
stand the first. word Of his lingo any
better than he does nine"
The scene was described as very
comical. but it struck the deathknell
of further classical quotations in a
congress that had not the ray Of an
idea what the unintelligible lingo Of
Cicero and Tacitus was driving at.

The Military Salute.

All ~salutes, from taking off the hat
to presenting arms, originally implied
respect or submission. OF military sa-
lutes, raising the right hand to the
head is generally believed to have orig
mated from the days Of the tourna-
ment, when tue knights filed past the
throne Of the queen of beauty and. by
way Of complainant, raised their hands
to their brows' to imply that her beau
ty was too dazzling for unshaded eyes
to gaze upon.
The officers salute with the sword
has a double meaning. The first posi-
ton, with the hilt opposite the lips,
Is a repetition Of the crusaders action
in kissing the cross hilt Of his sword
In token of faith and fealty, while low
ering the point afterward implies ell
ther submission or friendship, meaning
In either case that it Is no longer nee
essary to stand on guard. Raising the
hand to the forehead has also been e.
planned as Il sign that the weaponed
hand Is empty and in an ~inoffensive po-
sition, but this reason does not seem
so convincing as the others

1t is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. TO begin
with, instead Of sitting up with his
large, fiat, ribbed tail %protruding be-

his hind legs and sat upon it. Then
with his hand he carefully combed his
long hair. using both hands at the same
time. There were many places. how

way, for his arms are very short and
his body very large, so he combed these
otherwise inaccessible places with his
hind feet, using first one and then the
other. The entire operation was per-
formed with the utmost deliberation
and care and occupied more than a
quarter of an hour, so that by the time
1t was completed daylight had almost
vanished.

turb him in the least, though I sat on

OUR AMBITION
To Send Fifty People
To Buffalo
At OUR own EXPENSE
Bids Fair To Be Realized
In the Present Contest

1t looks now as though the TELE'
GRAMS ambition to send so people tC
Buffalo at its W expense would be
realized. The list is rapidly growing
as the public is coming to reallze
the full meaning Of this remarkable
offer.
1t is probable that all OF our read.
ers have complete understanding Of
the conditions OF the contest but in
case they have not it may be well to
say that there is 40 long drawn out
set of complicated rules and regula-
tionS.
In brief 1t is as follows: - For
every subscription OF the TELEGRAM
that is presented at this Office certiti-
Gates will be issued in a n SINH
lar to that which was adopted during
the Quaker Range contest: for every
years subscription will be given a GER
tidcate emitting the person whose
name it contains to 300 votes, for
every renewal for one year 200 votes
and for shorter periods smaller num-
Der Of votes in proportion according
to the tabulated form below printed.
The person who shall have presented
the largest number of these votes at
this Office before 5 p. m Aug. 10th
will be given a free trip to Buffalo in
the manner above described, that is
free transportation and five %daysenter-
! tainment at the AlcaZar Hotel includ.
ing board and room.
The winner OF this contest shall
have the privilege Of choosing one
other person to accompany him or
her said person: ito 60 TO Buffalo at
the expense Of the TELEGRAM in the
the same way. a4tl,
But this does not end the affair by
any means. The TELEGRAM proposes
to see that no person who enters the
contest and takes any interest in the
same shall come out a loser. We
therefore make a further inGucement
most remarkable and attractive,
Every contestant, outside Of the q
who is victorious, who, shall by 8
O'Clock p. M, August 3lst, 1901, have
turned in Is, 000 votes will also be
given a free trip to Buffalo, including
transportation and board and room at
the Alcazar Hotel for five days during
the Exposition. II there are so who
take advantage Of this extraordinary
offer it will please the management Of
the TELEGRAM so times more than II
there Is but one. 1.-THE more the
merrier." Don't say you must stay
at home from the Exposition because
you can't afford to 60. That would
be ridiculous when such an offer as
this q is staring you In the face.
During the series Of Quaker Range
contests given last winter, the small
est number OF votes presented by a
winner was %, 900; the largest was
about 80, 900. In this contest you
have to turn in only $4,000 to be a
winner, and this means the securing
Of the equivalent Of fifty new subscri.
berS.
The terms at which the subScrip-
tions to the TELEGRAM may be Sc
cured and the number Of votes which
ca h subs cription stands for is as fol-

A Very Foxy Fox.

"A SeulleIldu WuOSc NOtu CduuOl Uc
doubted and who is not easily deceived
tells the following:
Very early one morning be saw a fox
eying most wistfully a number of wild
ducks feeding in the rushy end Of a
highland lake. After awhile the fox,
going to windward Of the ducks. put
anoat in the lake several punches OF
dead rushes or grass. which tloated
down among the ducks without caus-
ing the least alarm.
After watching the effect of his pre-
liminary feet for a short time the fox,
taking a good sized mouthful Of grass
in his jaws. launched himself into the
water as quietly as possible, having
nothing but the tips Of his ears and
rose above water.
In this way he drifted down among
the ducks and caught a fine mallard.
Though this story seems extraordi-
nary, 1t must be remembered that the
fox manages to capture wild ducks,
wood pigeons, hares and numberless
other animals, sufficient to keep him
self and family, and 1t is plain to be
seen that in doing SO he must practice
many a trick that would seem improb-
able IL related and quite beyond the in.
