nounce that Senator Mason is candi-
date for the presidency of the United
States. He has a plan of campaign
mapped out and will carry it into
effect just as soon as congress adj
journs His first battle ground will
be the south. He believes there is a
sentiment in his favor in that region
and he proposes to expend it by max
ing series of speeches to the people
of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee,
Alabama and other states south of Ma
son and Dixon's line. To quote his
own words, the senator will "cam-
paign from New Orleans to Bangor
and from New York to San Fran
cisco' He will visit every state and
territory in the union. He will make
speeches to all who listen to him. He
will organize a Mason following and

be protection, sound money, recipro-
city and promise to the Filipinos
that we will not govern them against
their will. Over and above every
thing else / am for the declaration of
independence.

THE ELDER SOTHERN.

dams Practicrl Jokes.
Many stories are told of Sothern's
original methods of entertaining his
friends at dinner, and possibly the
most amusing Is that of the belated
guest. When, late in the dinner, this
friend was announced Mr.. Sothern eX-
claimed LET us all hide under the
table" and down they all went save
Mr.. Sothern himself, who remained
seated. When the tardy guest entered,
Mr.. Sothern rose and received him
with exquisite courtesy. saying, when
your name was announced, my guests,
for some unaccountable reason, all hid
under the table" After a few mo-
ments of discomfort one by one they
crept out and back to their seats.
/ heard from both Mr.. Sothern and
Mrs. Vincent this account of an out
burst of fun at a dinner given by him
in his parlor at the Revere House: AS
the guests, ten in number, We're gath
cred about the open fire before dinner
a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with
short breath, added the last touches to
his dinner table, already spread. Ten
large, square pieces of bread were
placed with mathematical precision
one at each plate, and then he left the
room to bring the wine. Mr.. Sothern
saw his opportunity and, calling ais
dog, cried: Tiger, the bread! Quick,
Tigerr' And the nimble little gray
hound bounded lightly upon the table
again, and again as he heard his mas
ter's imperative Fetch the breadw
until each piece had been removed to
a dark corner near the fire.
Upon the walters return all was ST.
lence. The expectant look upon Mr..
Sothern's face showed only that dinner
was awaited. Standing for a moment.
bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread
upon the table, hesitatingly turned to
the door, then retraced his steps to
the table, examined it carefully and
hurriedly left the room. He soon re-
appeared with fresh plate of bread,
and again at each plate piece was
carefully placed. and he retired with
the empty plate. "Quick. Tiger! Fetch
it again More bread! More breadr'
And once more each piece was re-
moved before the grave waiter reap
peared, and all We're again silent. One
look at the table and one at the
guests, and there remained no doubt.
Those poor, hungry actors had eaten
it! With look of contempt he an
nounced dinner, and after all were
safely seated at the table he brought
a third plate of bread and with a fork
placed it, with a gesture of scorn,
piece by piece for each person and for
the host. The merry scene soon dis
armed his hostility, and before the
evening was over the bread in the cor
ner was revealed.-Mrs. Lucy Derby
Fuller in Century.

We are inclined on the whole to be-
lieve that the stimulus to literary pro-
duction exists within and not without
the man. 1t is not external circum-
stances, poverty or riches, sickness or
health. greatness or humbleness, that
determine the productions or output of
genius. 1t is the characteristics of the
man that determine not what he shall
learn or what he shall think, but what
he shall do. A stimulus from without,
such as poverty, may start production,
of course, but that is merely the phys
zeal awakening Of disposition that in
any circumstances would have been
awakened in some way at some time.
True literature is the voice of the soul
calling from the windows of the house
of clay in response to those things of
life that touch the nature of. the soul
that speaks.-London Spectator.

A south African Animal.

There is curious looking animal in
South Africa that looks for all the
world like piece of toast with four
legs, a head and a tail. 1t resembles
a pussy cat about the forehead and
ears. but its nose is distinctly that of
rat, while its tail is not very dis
similar to that of a fox. This strange
animal is called the aardwolf and
doubtless dwells in South Africa, be-
cause, judged by his looks. he would
not be admitted into good animal so
