A MBROSE BIERCE, of the New
~ York American and Journal" is
an old Californian, and well ac-
quainted for many years with
Bret Harte and Joaquin Miller. And, in
addition to knowing the men, he knows
their poetry. He has just discovered that
at least one statesman at the Capital does
,ot know anything about the men or
Fleir poetry, though assuming to know
much. This is Judge Lacey, Of Iowa.
During the debate on the territorial ad-
mission bill Judge Lacey, who opposed
Statehood for Arizona, made a speech in
which he quoted some verses which he
said were by Bret Harte, whom he de-
scribed as lover of Arizona" Here are
the verses as he gave them:
How broken plunged the steep ascent!
How bauenl Desolate and rent
By earthquake shock, the land lay dead,
Like some proud king in old time slain,
An ugly skeleton ii CLEANED
in burning sands. The fiery rain
OF fierce volcanoes here had its ashes,
Burnt and black and scanned
With thunder strokes and strewn with cinders.
In his graphic way" continued Judge
Lacey. "Harte describes old ruins Of pre-
historic ages on the shores of extinct
seas as
Eaten by some strange beast,
That Time has eaten as a bone.
OF ruins older than the East.
''Of course Bret Harte never wrote this
stuff or anything like it," says Mr.. Bierce
"Attributing this meaningless and fortui-
tous collocation OF words to anybody but
himself or the Commissioner of Pensions
is sin for which Mr.. Lacey will have
to answer before another Judge. Anyone
having schoolboy's knowledge Of htera-
ture would know the author by the style.
The lines SO misqucted as to deprive them
of all sense and beauty are Joaquin Mil

When the late Congrcssman Cummings
first came TO the House, he used TO send
breezy daily report OF proceedings by
wire to the New York SUM-" He used to
write this report at his desk on the
front row OF the Democratic side. Some
OF the older correspondents recall an
amusing incident OF this period. One af-
ternoon, while the House was engaged in
a particularly dull and listless debate. it
occurred to the Congressman journalist
that it would be good time to go to
lunch. In a joking way he asked the
late Judge John Logan Chapman, who had
himself been 4 noted newspaper man in
early life to take few notes for him.
The Judge took him at his word. and
wrote a very picturesque account OF pro-
ceedings for the next half hour. When
he turned the copy over, he claimed that
he had closely followed Amos style. and
the laugh was on Cummings. But Amos
rather turned it on the judge by wiring

Spring has been in evidence in this
locality for several weeks, but the wealth
er has nevertheless been diversified; one
day the springtide is strongly apparent,
the next, like today, is attended by a
snowfall which covers the entire land
scape. However, even though the little
storm of today has covered the earth
and dampened our spirits as we'll as our
feet, spring is here to stay and all are
glad of the fact. Winter has it's charms,
but it does not impart that buoyant and
hopeful feeling which is engendered by
being in tune with nature when the
grass grows green, when the trees begin
to bud, when the birds begin to chant
their roundelays-when spring suffusee
all things.

BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked. SIN
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach &
Liver Tablets superior to pills?" Our
answer is: They are easier and more
pleasant to take, more mild and gentle
in effect and more reliable as they can
always be depended upon. Then they
cleanse and invigorate the stomach and
leave the bowels in a natural condition,
while pills are more harsh in effect and
their use is often followed by constipa-
ton. For sale by all druggists.
