NEWSPAPER MANS MISTAKE.


: - ;. IL y
+ "A Baltimore newspaper man once
came over to Washington to do some
interviewing Of public men, says q
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American. It was
when Garret A. Hobart was vice presi-
dent, and he called upon that distin-
guished New Jerseyan first. Then,
with fear and trembling, he went to
the residence Of senator who was
noted for frigidity toward representa-
tives Of the press. He sent up his card
and expected to be sent curt refusal
to be seen. What was his astonish-
ment when the lackey came down.
stairs, bowed profoundly and said
that Senator So-and-So would be down
in just minute, and would he be so
good as to make himself at home
meanwhile. In less than that time the
statesman came down the staircase
at pace that made the reporter fear
for the safety of his limbs.
"Ah! Mr.. Hobart, delighted to see
you,' he said, as he entered, with his
hand outstretched, and before his eyes
ened parlor. Then, of a sudden, he
drew himself up stifay, fumbled in
his waistcoat, pulled out the card that
had been sent to him, and demanded:
"What do you mean by this imposi-
ton, sir?" Like lightning it flashed
on the newspaper man what had hap
pened. He had, while in the vice pres
ident's room. inadvertently picked up
one of Mr.. Hobart's cards and had
used it by mistake for one of his own.
His apologies were ample, but the
senator could not be induced to for
give that thrilling dash down the slip
perry staircase simply to accommodate
mere scribbler.

TEACHES INDIANS TO WORK.
Cheyenne Boy Laborers Brave the
JeeHs and Soorn Of Their
Elders.

Indians are not easily persuaded to
abandon old customs, and the work of
the government agents when they try
to teach them the white mans way is
often arduous and the results discour-
aging. An experiment of much value
was attempted among the Cheyennes
in Oklahoma not long ago. An Indian
agent wished the schoolboys to milk
cows for him and agreed to give to
each one who MIXED for three months
a nice calf. Fifteen boys started, but
they were so ridiculed by the older men
of the tribe that IL of them gave it up.
Three won the calves, and, the pride of
being owners of cattle served as quite
An assistance in getting other Indian
children to try. After year IL boys
had won calves and the agent asked
them to pillow corn. for him, agreeing
to give them all the corn they could
grow. Ten boys volunteered to grow
corn, and they actually raised 5000
bushels, which was sold and afterward
converted into IS head of steers.
Each steer was branded with an in
dividual brand chosen by the boy
owner. This made them prouder than
ever and more ind ustrious. Every boy
at the agency wanted to go to work at
once, and as q result of that expert
ment the .Cheyennes.are the most In
dustrious farmers Of any tribe so.faz

SILK Culture q Home Industr1

SILK Culture Home Industry.
A writer in the Philadelphia Times
says that silk culture is not, and never
has been, an exceedingly remunerative
business, but it adds vast wealth to the
nations engaged in it for the simple
reason that it can be pursued by the
humblest and poorest, requiring only
small outlay. The raising of few
pounds of cocoons every year does not
materially interfere with the house
hold and other duties that now engage
the time of the farm girls, and it is by
each household raising few pounds
OF cocoon that silk culture must be
carried on in this country, as it all
ways has been in other countries. In
France cocoons are regularly pro-
duced by more than Isl, 900 families.

BULLDOGS CORK LEG.
Denver Canine of High Repute ID
Measured for an Artificial
Member.

"Jim," the pet of the Union depot,
is to have a new leg, reports the Den
yer Republican. For the past wear
Jim, brindle, part bull and the rest
plain dog. has -hobbled around. the,
baggage room at the Union depot
on three legs. All he has left of the
fourth is a stump. Jim was sleeping
on the railroad track about year
ago, and before he could get out of
the way passing train ran over his
leg. The men at the depot now think
Jim should have new leg.
The manner in which the injured
member healed makes it hard for the
dog to wear an artificial leg. Ere
quent trips have been made to a
veterinary. 1t has been decided to
have an operation, so that the leg
may properly heal. Jim is then to be
measured for cork leg-best leg
that money can buy.
Though Jim has few tricks, he is
a dog of extraordinary intelligence.
He is the friend of every man in the
depot. His headquarters are in the
mailroom of the depot. Every truck
which is rolled to the incoming and
outgoing trains finds Jim perched
upon it. His chief duty is to guard
loose sacks, which are sometimes left
on the platform, and to look after
the mailroom when the clerks are
away. No one dares to enter the
room while he is on guard. An at
tempt to go near q mail truck while
proper guardians are away rouses his
anger and his voice. Some time ago
he drifted into the depot and took
up quarters in the mailroom. He has
been there ever since.

president is woman, Mrs. Huntington
Smith. The league is able to rent
house for the care of it's proteges, pay
an agent and his wife to live there.
and hire two other assistants. In the
course of year the league has re-
ceived and cared for between 5000
and 5000 cats and dogs. On one day as
many as "a were brought to it's doors.

And, the poor animals having beeb

and it's occupants and, if prompted tc
do so from kind motives, to take any
of the animals away to a new home.
