In Paris two police officers recently
got upon the track of pickpocket.
They surprised him in the act at the

pcared. JUDGING that he had slipped

when the other bather, arrayed in the

dragged off to the station house. With
some difficulty the situation was ex-
planned; but the pickpocket is still
laughing.

Make the Most of Your Gifts.

Personality has done wonders with
both heredty and environment. 1t has

of the proprietor with much interest
The brawny smith, dissatisfied with
the boys curiosity, held piece of red

SURPRISE IN WASHINGTON.
Public Men Express Regret at the
Declination of Speaker
Henderson.

The dispatch announcing Speaker
Henderson's declinationo of the congress
sional nomination caused sensation
in Washington. Few public men are
in the city at this time, but all who
are here expressed regret that the
speaker had determined on the course
announced in the Dubuque dispatch.
The causes leading up to his decision
were perhaps as much matter of com
ment as the refusal to stand for re-
election. Public men acknowledge
there is demand in sections of the
west and northwest for a revision OF
the tariff along certain lines, notably
in the cases of articles whose manu-
facture is controlled by trusts.
Secretary Wilson, of the agricultu-
raj department, who comes from Iowa.
was thunderstruck when he heard OF
Speaker Henderson's decision, re-
marking that it came as rain from q
clear sky. He expressed great re.
on the course announced, but further
than that he declined to make any
statement for publication.
To Secretary Shaw, of the treasury
department., whose residence a;so,is in
Iowa, and who is a great frien1 of the
speakers, the news came With equal
surprise and regret. The secretary in
response to a request for an inter-
view on the subject dictated the fol.
lowing statements:
81 have not been in Iowa since Feb.
ruary, and hence know little Of any
change in political sentiment IN the
state. All republicans found conseniaii
standing room on the platform last
year. I think most speakers took the
oId-time republican view that the tar
if is not responsible for trusts. If
sentiment has changed I am not adj
vised.
''T regret Speaker Henderson's de-
cision more than I can express, and [
still hope the report is unfounded,
or that he may be induced to recall
his declaration. He was sure Of his
election
| George z. Roberts, director of tie
United States mint and principal OWE
er of the Des Moines Register, a pa
| per which has advocated tariff revision.
/ speaking of Speaker Henderson's ac-
ton. said:
"This action of Speaker Henderson
is i'ncomprehensible. l am wholly I'M
able to account for it. He was sure Of
reelection. His withdrawal, of course,
wifi emphasize and exaggerate the diff
| ferences that exist among Iowa repub-
| licans, and it is to be deplored espe-
cia1ly ON this account"

BLESSING THE LAMBS.
Interesting Features of singuln.
Ceremony That Is Annually Per-
formed at Church In Rome.

The church of ST. Agnes outside the
walls at Rome was filled to it's utmost
limits by large crowd, eager to wit
the lambs, says the Tablet. At the
conclusion of the high mass the little
lambs were brought in and laid upon
the altar. They rested on damasl1
cushions in separate baskets with
their tiny limbs tied up in red and
blue ribbons. Their equanimity is
usually disturbed by the ordeal of
passing through the crowd to the
altar, and they bleat a plaintive re-
monstrance against the rough usage
to which they are subjected. Frag-
ments of their gay ribbons are torn
away and portions of their snowy
fleece rudely plucked out by people
anxious to carry away souvenir of
their benedictfon. This year, how
ever, the crowd was more merciful
and the little creatures were gently
stroked as they were BORNE past.
After the blessing the abbot deliv-
cred the lambs to the first master Of
ceremonies of the Lateran Biscilica,
who, as soon as the ceremony was
over, took them to the vatican to
present them to his holiness. The
holy father sent them immediately to
the dean of the Sacra Rota, who in
his turn handed them over to the
nuns of the monastery of ST. CecTIy
in the Trastevere. They become the
property of the nuns. About Easter
they are shorn of their beautiful
white fleece, which is given to the
pope. His holiness commissions his
prefeot of ceremonies to have the
wool woven into palliuus, which are
blessed on the vigil of the feast of
SIS. Peter and Paul and them placed
in an urn in the confession of St.
Peters Bascilica over the. body of the
apostle. They are sent '1de corpore S.
Petri," the first shepherd of the UNI
versal church, to metropolitans to be
worn as symbol of their share in
the plenary jurisdiction of the chief
shepherd over the whole flock of
Christ.

AN oLD-TIME GROWER.

I never like the sprlngtime-the weather's
most too bright,
An I've got no chance fer howlin' an
growlin' lef an right;
The winter time is better, but winter will
not stay;
But thank the Lord the summer Is a-sizzin'
on the way!
Fer it's them I'm hard to beat
In growlin' at the heat,
An sayin' watermelons air only bitter
sweet!
I jest wuz born fer growlin', no matter
how it goes,
To pick the world to pieces, find thorn
with every rose;
The sunshine is too blindin', the winter is
too COZ,
An the thunder, to my thinkin', is too reck-
less in its roll!
oh, I'm mighty hard to beat
Findin' fault with cold and heat;
The worlds peach, reckon, but it's only
bitter-sweet!
If fiery heavenly chariot should come for
me to-day
I'd want to stop at stations, takin' ice in
on the way;
An landed safe in glory, I hain't got any
doubt
I'd growl about the climate till the good
saints turned me out!
Then, where every growler goes
Where we meet our friends an foes,
I'd growl about the weather till they
drowned me with the hose!
