back and we find the grandfather of the
governor fighting in the Revolution. Gov
ernor Larrabee's wife is q woman Of strong
personality and they have had seven chill
dren, one son now being a representative
in the Iowa legislature from Fayette county.
In business matters Governor Larrabee has
devoted himself to banking and farming in
later years. He is the owner Of large areas
of land in Iowa and other states. He is
one of the most democratic of men, a man
Of simple life and homely virtues, strong
in his convictions and one whose honesty
and integrity have never been questioned.
He is now 70 years old.
The old fashioned undertaken long ago
gave way to the modern funeral director.
His rooms have become parlors and the
workshop in which the slabs Of lumber were
kept pending the mortuary needs of some
departed mortal has advanced to the dignity
of chapel" room. Everything that would
materially aid in robbing the process of
preparation for sepulture of its suggestive
associations and CHASTITY significance has
been taken in by the modern disciples of the
ancient art. Not alone In the nomenclature
Of the craft has the advance been noted,
but in its more tangible aspects as well
has there been improvement. While the
funeral director today moves about silently
and with deferential mien and subdued ar
he doesn't wear the lugubrious face of his
predecessor Of only a few years back. HIS
association with abandoned earthly tene-
ments has left no outward impress on him,
and aside from the absolute obligations of

A few moments later the office boy
spread the report that the dialogue with

this:

The New York Times credits Major Cen
eral Shafter with this story:
An army board, examining a lieutenant
for promotion to the position of captain and
quartermaster, asked the candidate:
What is the first duty of a quartermas-
ter?"
ITO make himself comfortable" was the
reply.
And his next duty?"

John" which described the young man as
parting his hair in the middle.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, where did the son
Of this distinguished democrat get his
title Of prince John?'" asked Mr.. Bou-
tell. Where did he learn to part his hair
in the middle?"
Ibid Prince John ever become bald
headed like some Of the members of this
house and have no hair to part?" asked
Mr.. Sulzer.
Mr.. Sulzer could make a remark like this
without any embarrassment, for he has a
very luxuriant growth OF almost pink
tinted hair, which lops over his forehead.
But the question was a little more per-
sonal, so far as the Illinois member was
concerned, for there is a small, but grow
ing, glistening spot under his hat. He
was quick to %retort, however, and in doing
so brought to his aid a couplet Of poetry
which, being so apt, threw the house into
a paroxysm OF laughter.
Il do not know" said Mr.. Boutell,
whether later in life he Joined the ranks
OF those whose strength goes to brains in
stead OF hair, but at this time we have Mr..
Shepard's authority that he had hair and
that he parted it in the middle. The gen.
tleman from New York will r~ecollect the
old consolation of the men with smooth
domes:
II by thy hairs thy sins should num-
Angels in heaven were not more pure than
thee" '
Among his old newspaper acquaintances
in Chicago, Mr.. Charles NJ. Pepper, who has
Just been appointed commissioner to repre-
sent the Louisiana Purchase exposition in
Cuba and Porto Rico, is known for his de-
Votion to work. An old Tribune reporter
tells In the Saturday Evening Post this
story OF how Mr.. Pepper once astonished
the stan of that paper.
Never had he failed to report for duty
at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon, and when.
one day, the hands OF the office clock crept
on to . without his arrival the news OF
the delay Travelled down the corridor like
a rumor of a cut in salaries. Charlie

written a public prayer and conducted a
choir. He can cook his own dinner. can
play chess, paint pictures and draw carl
catures. He has learned engineering and
studied electricity. Though he can use only
one arm, he can shoot game for four hours
at the rate of two a minute. He has over a
hundred titles and is an admiral in three
or the biggest navies. In twenty-five years
he has shot %, 1000 head of game. He
changes his dress a dozen times a day, has
a dozen Wallets and his wardrobe is worth
$500, 900.
Several years ago, when Josiah Quincy
was mayor Of Boston, records the New York
Times, a politician there christened his
youngest boy Josiah Quincy Rosnosky."
He had named his preceding son Nathan
Matthews, jr.," after another democratic
mayor, and had this child with him when he
called on Mr.. Quincy and told how he had
honored him,
What is your name?' asked Mayor
Quincy of the boy.
I'm named after Nathan Matthews. IT,"
replied the boy. And then he added, as IL
he had said 1t often: HE was the best
mayor Boston ever had"
Everybody laughed except Mr.. Quincy.

"Oh, WE'LL" remarked Mr.. Quincy, when
the merriment subsidized, "just wait until
Josiah Quincy Rosnosky is old enough to

Representative Boutell, the diminutive
member from the big city on Lake Michi-
gan, is as apt at repartee as any man in
the house, re,ates the Washington Times.
His intellectual ability is not measured by
his physical stature. Whenever on his
feet he always has full confidence in him
self and no amount of cross questioning
causes him to lose his equilibrium. He
appeared at his best the other day in his
humorous reply to Representative Wheeler.

The late Lord Dufferin, when governor
general Of Canada, was one of the earliest
promoters Of free Niagara and gave all the
weight Of his great influence to that project.
His original suggestions applied to the Can

its share OF the good work before Canada

Lord Dufferin.
Early In his career as a lawyer william
Mckinley was accustomed to pass a butch
er's shop on the way to and from his office
and for a long time was puzzled by a GER
tain notice which he saw there. In the
morning he would read; Good pork
sausages, 20 cents" On his return in the
evening he would sometimes find these
sausages still 20 cents a pound, but more
often the notice was changed and the sign
read: Fine pork sausages, ~ Tor some
times lO) cents" TIL matter, he said. used
to worry him. Sausages were not Of so
perishable a nature that they would not
keep till the next day and he could not
understand It.. So one evening he stopped
at the shop. made some casual remark and
then inquired the price OF sausages.

- asked, How many Of us in our
boyhood days drove COWS to pasture?" It
was developed that every one OF the presl-
dents official family had performed that
service in his youth.
A congressman whose parents came from
the green isle jokingly remarked to Benton
McMtllin OF Tennessee that st. Peter was

rooster to crow three times

Once when Sir Charles Hotham. governor
of Victoria, was out driving. his coachman
nearly came into collision with a wood
carter, an lrishman, in a narrow lane out
side Melbourne. The Irishman would not
pull of the middle Of the road. as he had
the heavier load, and, by the rough rule OF
such things, was thus entitled to keep
there, The incensed governor thereupon
put his head out OF the carriage window
and shouted do you know who l am,
my man? In Sir Charles Hotham, the

bring it we'll nigh up to the dignity Of a
learned profession. To keep abreast of the
times he must be a student and absorb
much information. Of which the early MEM
bers of the craft knew nothing, unless 1t
were by hearsay. A group of Nebraska

proposed minister would be obnoxiously &C
tive In propagating his doctrines among the
Mohammedans. Assurance as to the true
character OF the church in question removed
all objections to the appointee and an
official announcement to this effect was sent
to Secretary Sherman. DR.. Angel resigned

The pathway by which William Larrabee
Of Iowa achieved success is not greatly
different from that trod by other sue
cessful men of the west; his methods we're
the prosaic methods of every self-made
statesman or 1nancier; he stands one Of a
type.
William Larrabee thumbed his primer on
the benches Of a Connecticut school house
and when he had achieved sufficient learning
to enable him to teach others he removed to
Iowa and began his career. firing Of
school teaching, he became a farmer for a
few years, then turned to the milling trade
and from 1855 to 1873 he was the miller of
Clermont. 1t was during this period that
he demonstrated his great capacity for
hard work, often putting in long hours
each day for many months at a time; but
success followed this tireless industry, and
when he sold his milling business thirty
years ago he was able to take his first va
cation and spend some time travelling in
Europe. He had already begun a career
OF service to his state and his travels aided
In Hitting him for still greater service.
Fayette county elected William Larrabee
to the senate in 1868. He devoted himself
assiduously to his work and soon became
one of the recognized leaders Of the senate.
Four times thereafter he was elected to
the senate. He was for several terms
chairman Of the committee on ways and
means Of the senate and was virtually the
fnancier Of the legislature during a long
period. In 1885 he was nominated by the
republicans Of Iowa for governor and re-
signed his place in the senate. He was
elected by a large majority over Charles

shot. or maybe a little better. This is
before he has tackled the snipe. After a
few rounds with these birds he alters his
opinion OF his ability as a marksman.
Getting action on these birds Is more like
shooting at a streak Of light than anything
else. Their flight is short, rapid and
erratic. One time the snipe zigzags, and
the next time It corkscrews. Nothing is
certain further than that 1t is getting out of
range as fast as its powerful wings and
long legs can carry II. Some men tell OF
never missing a snipe, but they never do
this twice among a crowd of snipe hunters.
The snipe most common to Nebraska is the
Wilson snipe, often enormously called the
