CHAT AND STORY

Jimmie Hughes Immortal EpjtIub.
In the little town OF Paris. in nv
State" remarked Senator Joe Blackburn.
at the Shoreham, there dwelt. son
years ago, a gentleman named Jimmie
Hughes. He was one of those extraordi-
narily generous-hearted men occasionally
found who are ready TO give to everyone
who asks. He had considerable for
tune at one time. but his liberal heart
would have made away with the income OF
a Rothschild. and when he died he left
nothing. He had actually given away all
his means
His goodness had made him so greatly
beloved by the entire population that it
was determined to erect handsome mon
ument in his honor. and a committee was
appointed TO raise funds for that purpose.
Among those approached to aid in the
worthy cause was an individual who had
often and often been the recipient of jim
mics benefactions. He was a shiftless
sort of fellow, and il was not expected he
would contribute much. This parsonage
was kind of village comedian, and had
a knack OF writing doggerei as well as of
retailing funny stories. He seemed dis
tressed that he had not a cent to give.
but implored the committee to allow him
to compose a poetic inscription to be
carved on the marble reared to the de-
ceased This was all he could DO TO
show his appreciation of his dead friend.
and it was agreed that he might compose
the epitaph. In the way OF eulogy il has
never yet been surpassed. Here 1t is:

Ecuador and Its Industries.

well-known Southern soldier, Gen. S. W.
Ferguson, at the Raleigh
My work was in connection with the
construction of the railroad from Guya-
quill to Quito, about one hundred miles OF
which is now completed. The work has
been pushed under enormous difficulties,
such as the clearing of dense forests and
the conveyance of all material on the
backs OF pack mules. The worst part OF
il. where the road had to climb over one
of the ranges of the Andes to height OF
IL, 500 feet, has been accomplished. No
where in the world, that | know of, has
railway project involving more difficult
engineering tasks ever been carried
through. Just now there isn't much prog
ress being made. as It is the height OF the
rainy season. when very little can be
done.
Ecuador has every variety of climate,
and is naturally as rich a region as there
is on this hemisphere. In the hot coast
country the rich lands and damp atmOs
phere are favorable to the production of
cocoa. from which chocolate is made. 1t
is said that two thirds of the whole
worlds supply of cocoa comes from EcVa
dor. There are but few citizens of the
United States down there now. but when
the railway is completed and the country
opened there is apt TO be an influx of
Americans looking for profitable fields ot
investment"

er's T'Other Sweetheart in Debate

Senator Rawlins of Utah Is a modest
man, and anything fattering said about
him. or personal allusion, makes him
blush to the tips of his ears.
During the debate of the Philippine tar
ff bill in the Senate. couple of days
ago. Mr.. Spooner was making a vigorous
speech in support of the Republican bill,
and Mr.. Rawlins, the ranking member of
the minority of the Philippines Commit
tee, who has charge of the substitute bill,
proposed by the Democrats, frequently in
terrupted him. Senator Tillman, who was
also taking lively interest in the de-
bate. attempted to ask Senator Spooner
question just after Senator Rawlins had
made an enquiry.
How many at time?" enquired
Senator Spooner.
" How happy could I be with either,
were t'other dear charmer away"
mockingly quoted Mr.. Tillman.
That is what embarrasses me. There
are too many" retorted Mr.. Spooner.
Just take that sweetheart for the
present" said Mr.. Tillman. waving his
hand toward Mr.. Rawlins. "and then let
me in later"
This raised hearty laugh. and Sena-

VIII EulOgize Abraham Lincoln mt
Grand Rapids Clubs Banquet Feb

Minister WI is going to Grand Rapids.
Mich. on February u, as the guest OF
Representative William Alden Smith,
where he will be the stellar attraction at
the Lincoln Club banquet in that city.
Other notables will be Representative
Cousins of Iowa and Representative Lam
dis of Indiana. The Congressional talent
are expected TO furnish the usual amount
of Grand Old Party oratory, and Repre-
sentative Smith thought it would be
good idea to have Minister WI speak on
something OFF the beaten track.
He therefore selected for the topic The
Three Great Capitals of the World-Paris,
Washington, and Berlin" with each of
which the popular Chinese diplomat is IA
miliar. He supposed, of course, that Mr..
WI would have no objection and when the
latter called on Mr.. Smith the other even
ing he broached the matter to him.
Instead of taking kindly to the sugges-
tion. Minister WI Immediately put the
Michigan Congressman under eross-exam-
ination something after this fashion:
why should l talk on this subject" he
asked.
thought it would be very interesting"
replied Mr.. Smith, someN nat abashed.
What day did you say they were
going to celebrate?" asked WI. abruptly.
"Lincoln's birthday" answered Smith.
Then l talk on Lincoln was Minis
ter Wu's rejoinder.
This settled the matter, and Honest
Abe will be eulogized by the Chinese Min
istar who has been & close student Of
American literature, and he will talk on
what he considers to be Lincoln's great
est attribute-his absolute sense OF JUS
tice.
