Humorous department.
Tired of the Struggle.

Col. Cecil Clay, chief clerk of the
department of justice, who was GAL
liant and conspicuously brave officer
of the Union army, it Is said, tells the
following story, as told him by one Of
his men:
"As we lay facing the rebel lines
around Petersburg that last winter OF
the war the men in the rifle pits re-
Trained from firing at each other ex-
cept when ordered to do so to cover
some new movement. One night Pri-
vate Blank was in a pit about half a
mile from what is known as the era
ter and he soon found there was a
Johnny in q pit facing him and only
a stones throw away. Everything
was quiet in that neighborhood, and
.rivate Blank had been in the pit
about an hour when the Johnny called
out:
"'say, Yank, what about this hyar
wah?
"'What do you mean?
"'When are you 'uns gwine to quit?'
"'When you are licked out of your
boots
"'shoo! You can't do it in hun
dred years.
"'Well, we are going to keep trying.
Johnny was quiet for few min
utes, and said:
Say, Yank, this is an awful wah.'
Yes
"'Heaps O. good men being killed.
Yes
"'Heaps O. property gwine to wreck
Yes
"'Does you 'uns lay it to me?'
"sWell, you are helping to keep the
war going
And I hadn't orteh?'
"'Of course not
land if I should come over to you
'uns it might end this fussing?'
"It would help
"'Well seems that way to me. Pears
to be a sort o. duty. If can stop this
bloodshed an won't do it, then I'm

"'You are
"'Hain't got no true speerit in me,
eh?'
"'No.'
"'Then I guess I'll come. I'm a
headin' right 1ur uyr, and do you be
keerful that your gun don't go off,
HE came to Private Blanks pit,
bringing his gun along. and as he was
passed to the rear he said:
This ends the war and I'm pow
erfgul glad Of it. Reckon your Gineral
Grant will be surprised when he wakes
up in the mawnin' and finds the Re-
bellion all petered out and me a-eat-

A POINT ON CARPENTRY.-Senator
Platt of Connecticut was building a
house. He had occasion to hire car
penter. who was a plain. unvarnished
son of New England.
You know all about carpenter
work." asked Senator Platt. E
Yes. sir" was the reply.

A REToRT CoURTEoUs.-How quick
ly these American buds born and rear
ed in soils remote from the haunts of
society learn the ways Of the town, as
they used to say in Jane Austen's
time! Does Washington forget, I Won
der, that chit of Western girl, girl
from the real west, daughter Of a man
thrown hastily and Unexpectedly into
the senate? She was as fresh and
hardy as the breezes and frs Of her
mountains. and all her notions of eti-
quette and self-composure among the
great were to be found in the social
code of the mining camps. But in
year, native wit and keenness and
some judicious novel-reading aiding
her, she became as sophisticated as
lady of the republican court need be.
Hurrying into the drawing room Of
the wife of q cabinet officer rather late,
unknown and apologetic, she was
received by the woman Of the house
with rudeness that Is sometimes wit
messed in Washington-generally char
acterizing the women whose husbands
have lifted them up, and who, conse-
quently, have not been Obliged to fit
themselves into their environment. to
mould their tempers and talents to the
sinuosities of society.
1T is very disagreeable to be obliged
to waste every Wednesday afternoon
receiving everybody who has n'iDd
to come, said the grand dame.
"Oh, but fancy, Mrs. x, how much
pleasure your polite hospitality gives
everyone who is obliged to come, .
chirped the young thing, blowing swift
ly and quitely out of the room as she
had blown in.-Henry L. Nelson in The
Century.

MAMMOTH BIRDCAGE.
one of the Little Known Attractions
OF the National Capital


Washington, in addition to its other
attractions. possesses the largest bird.
cage in the United States, perhaps in
the world. 1t is ITO by 22O feet ground
dimensions and 13O feet high and is
located in the very heart of the citv.
at the busiest point in q busy section.
1T Is. In fact, the court Of the post.
ofilce building, and ut times it is filled
with sparrows, their twittering filling
the air and lending strange incon-
Gruity to the otherwise solemn sur.
roundlngs OF the great building.
The birds enter the glass covered
court through the ventilating Stats ot
srhe north and south ends near the peak
of the roof, and only by accident do
they find their way again to the omen
ar. AT times there are scores of them
pylhG about within the incloSure; then
Il row disappear and others enter. over
the mailroom, on the ground floor,
there is fiat, glass covered roof, par
ttioncd off with planks, and on these
latter are arranged many palms from
the botanical gardens.
Among these the birds disport them
selves as in tropical freedom, and were
food supplied them there is small doubt
that they would engage to remain in
definitely in such comfortable quarters,
for after the first fright at seeming
capture Of n new bird the little crea-
lures seem to adapt themselves happily
to their new quarters, and only when
the pangs Of hunger attack them do
they make any attempt to find their
way again to the open.-Washingto

The Way Cyclones Turn.

The question is often asked, Why do
cyclones, "whirlwnds" and tornadoes
all persist in the polar whirl from right
to left? Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once ex.
listed as rings of thinly scattered matter
around the sun and that these rings
were annular segregations from a
vague, irregularly scattered mass that
turned one way in spiral courses, thus
determining the direction in which the
rings revolved. and all the rest from
this took the same course
But" you say "why did the nebula
revolve at alp 1t grew from chaos,
and chaos presumably possessed an in.
herent motion from right to left. This
being the case, from that time to this
sun. moon, stars. planets. cyclones and
tornadoes have adhered to the original
habit

Alice. who was five years old, was
often asked to run crrands for her
mother. She went very willingly If
she could pronounce the name Of the
article wanted, but she dreaded the
laughter which greeted her attempts
to pronounce certain words Vinegar"
was one Of the hardest for her. She
never would so for it If she could help
it, but one morning her mother found
1t absolutely necessary to send her. On
entering the store she handed the jug
to the clerk and said, "Smell the jug

ATTENTION STOCK MEN!

The season Of the year has arrived
when 1t will be necessary for stockmen
to take additional precaution against the
loss OF stock and one way in which this
can be done is 10y advertising your stock
brand. We make you this proposition.
We will carry in the HERALD for one year
free Of charge the stock brand ad Of my
stock man Of Phillips county who sub
scibes for the HERALD md pays one

will do the same for any OF the present
subscribers Of the HERALD who
will pay one years subscription in nd.
vace. Last spring the Stock Association
OF this county asked for bids for carry
ing the stock brands of the members OF
the Association. The Republican and
HERALD each bid for the work and the
HERALD bid being very materially the
lowest was accepted by the Association.
Owing to some dissatisfaction among
the members OF the association with ths
plan OF raising the money for paying
for the advertising, the HERALD has not
been instructed to insert tho advertise.

TO the stockmen OF the county. Bring

We are glad to learn throgh the
columns OF the Holyoke Republican that
there Is now in the county treasury
available county money to pny of one
third Of the bonded indebtedness Of
the county. We would he only too glad
to bolisvs this statement but while We
are not from Missouri still we will have
TO bs shown. We would have much
more confidence in this statement II 1t
came TO US as An official statement OF the
condition OF the finances VI the county.
We have no disposition TO throw cold
water on tho Republicans enthusiasm
over the coun:y's great prosperity. or
course tho county is prosperous as We
zee evidences Of that on oil sides, but
We should not get excited over the mat
ter. We must not get nighty and lose
our hesds simply because tho county
throws $500 or $500 at the birds.
That may be IN indication OF prosperity
but It does not show that the county has
available funds for the paymsat Of one
third OF the bonded debt.
