Something About Seals.

About the beginning OF the last cen
tury people began to hunt seal. They
found it a very profitable occupatioI
and large numbers were captured; /,
has been so profitable that On many Of
the Islands where keals were hunted they
have been extermirated, and now they
are mostly seen in museums. There
are several species CT seal and some
will get extremely tame, fond Of their
owner, love to be caressed and will
learn tricks very much after the man
ner OF puppy. The seals body is
covered with double fur, which. when
1t Is immersed In water, is pressed very
closely to the body and excludes water.
This fur is very valua BILE, and as you
see lady wrapped in a cloak or coat
OF fur from seals body you know
1t has cost her several hundreds of
dollars to get the warm covering. But
it Is an animal good for even more than
its beautiful jacket, as the Esquimaux
and the Alaskan Indians live very
largely upon its flesh and fat Seals
are said to be fond of music, and will
follow boat in which flute or violin
is played. They often come out on the
land and lie about en- the rocks and
play and tumble about like happy chill

A HANDSOME CLOCK.
Facts About the One in the House o.
Representatives.

| Representatives.
The death Of Architect Clark, under
whom the Capitol has assumed its
present magnificent proportions, calls
to mind the splendid historical work
he did in gathering into a number OF
bound volumes every scrap of written
or printed records he could secure
regarding the building and decorating
Of the Capitol. Unfortunately much
of the decorative material was
Jumped" in the bills, and it never
will be known just what it cost. a
curious fact concerning the clock In
the hall Of the House of Representa-
| tires came to light during the sum.
| mer. The cleaners tackled this clock.
supposing it to be of some ordinary
hard wood and cast IRON, bedded under
varnish. 1t locked ordinary enough
anyhow.
The cleaners scratched and iabbed
and scrubbed till nearly On inch Of
varnish had been removed. when it
was found that the clock is encased
in bronze. Beautiful bronze, too.
About the face is a wealth of fruit,
oak leaves and acorns. The chief
beauty Of the clock. however, is the
eagle standing with spread wings on
the top of the case, and the bronze
figure of an American Indian and
hunter. which support it on each side.
These are real works Of art, standing
about three feet high, the Indian in
war bonnet and scalp shirt. leans upon
his bow, and the hunter is in buck
skin suit, with his gun IN his hand,
while both seem looking down on the
House below.
There is no record Whatever of the
purchase Of the clock, but it was in
its place when the hall was first oc-
cupied as the House Of Representa-
tives, so the oldest inhabitant" says.
The bronze eagle and the figures were
not part Of the clock originally. for
there is a record in 1862 which states
that the eagle was purchased Of
Archer Warner. Miskey & Co. at a
cost Of $50. Architect Clark thought
that this sum included the two bronze
figures also. although no mention is
made of them here or elsewhere, as
they were evidently an after thought, |
but as both lean upon the clock frame. |
We're obviously designed purposely for |
1t. though not fastened to the clock. |
The eagle Is welded to the clock |
frame. The clock has been gold |
eafed" instead Of vanished. and the
bronze figures are all restored to their
original state, and the whole now
a pleasing appearance.
The "architectural' history Of the
Capitol of the nation is scattered in
and reports collected in
he ola podrida of government reports.
Poor indexing make 1t almost impos-
'ible to get at anything short of a
months laborious search through
lusty tones. if the data wanted goes
cry far back. Architect Clark began
o compile this data nearly forty
ears ago. and it is supposed that his
cry perfect collection is the only one

OUR PRESIDENT.
Cherry bil

Chicago Inter-Ocean: Those who
have imagined Theodore Roosevelt to
be impulsive in temper or rash in ac-
ton have only to consider his conduct
during the last few weeks to be con-
vinced of their error.
By his Intervention in the coal
strike the President was doing his
duty-not a duty enjoined upon him
by the letter of the law, but inherent
in his ofice-the duty of every chosen
magistrate of the people to take heed
of the peoples welfare-the duty OF a
chosen leader to lead.
In the discharge of this plain duty
Theodore Roosevelt found his motives
maligned, his mandate from the peo-
pie denied, his good intentions scout
ed his benevolence flouted, his guests
insulted in his presence, his appeals
wantonly disregarded, the dignity OF
his office trampled upon, and his pur.
poses insolently defied.
If Theodore Roosevelt had been
really impulsive, rash, hasty or head
strong here was situation in which
those qualities would have appeared
No impulsive man, no man without
the fullest control over himself, would
have endured these affronts to him
self and to the dignity of his great
office.
If Theodore Roosevelt had for one
instance forgotten that he was Presi
dent of the United States and as such
must be ever ready to sink every per
sonal consideration and to make any
individual sacrifice for the public
good, he would have resented these
affronts with everyone Of the vast and
, multiplied powers which the people
have placed in his hands.
But the President saw that here the
vital interests of the American people
could not be served by San Juan
charge-that the solution Of this prob

THE FOWLER RUeARoo.

Montezuma Republican: Four years
ago one J. B. Weaver went up and
down this district Haunting in the
faces of the people a bill that he
claimed was pending IN congress and
would be passed at the first opportun'
ity. Like ali of the Generals sur
misses the passage of this bill would
bring remorse, calamity and destruc
ton to the American people. 1t was
known as the McCleery bill. Mr.
Weaver would work himself up to q
desperate frame of mind and then In
the presence of the audience he would
assume a dramatic attitude, spit upon
the alleged bill and trample it under
his feet. The sympathetic statesmen
present would then cheer the cham
pion of the peoples interests and fol
the time being the country seemed tc
have been saved. After Mr.. Weaver
received the usual drubbing at the
election both himself and the Nc
Cherry bill passed from the stage o.
action in this district. Weaver has
been heard from few times since, bu
the McCleery bill never. 1t was
pure game of bluff on the part of the
General and was so characterized a
the time by this paper.
And now comes on Reese, the walk
| ing delegate, in the tracks of Mr.
Weaver, and he, too, has bill. 1t i:

amount of danger as was the Nc
Celery bill. 1t seems that a mai
