Amos Shook His Fist.

Whenever the late Amos J. Cum mings made speech in congress. which was not often, he always had a good audience. He talked with great vehemence on whatever subject he had in hand and flung his arms about like fails.
 He was always furious at interrup- tions. A few weeks before the begin ming of the illness that proved fatal. when he was talking John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, who originated the idea of asking questions of every man who gets up to talk. asked him some irrelevant question. Cummings shook his fist at Gaines and roared:
 'TEop. keep out of my speech"
 Gaines thought Cummings intended to jump over the desks at him and didn't ask another question that day.

An Antique Ose Year old.

In the reading room of the senate F. brary is fine old marble mantel of pure colonial style which is as old as the capitol itself, Above this mantel is large plate glass mirror surround ed bya gold frame of antique design to match the mantel. A New England senator who brides himself on his ex- pert knowledge of things antique stood in front of the fireplace admiring both the mantel and the mirror.
 What magnificent old mirrorr' be exclaimed. .I have never seen any thing 50 genuinely antique since dis covered down in an old shop in Virginia a mirror which had been hand carved fin England in the year 1I23. l suppose this mirror was as old as the hills when it was brought to the capitol and that it has been stored away in some lumber room Where did you get itY'

NEW SHORT STORIES
The Navy Had to Wait.

The house committee on naval sf- fairs was in session. As the members were considering important matters the discussion was more or less heated. The day was warm, and the windows which look out on the white marble walls of the court of the capitol were wide open. Mir. Kitchin was giving his views when the strains of GO Way Back and Sit Down. by a steam cal Hope found their way into the room. Mir. Mudd arose from his seat, took his the room. The music seemed to be getting nearer, and Mir. Wheeler fol lowed Mir. Mudd. Mir. Dayton next dis covered that Kitchin was not saying anything that interested him, and he closed the door of the committee room from the outside. Mir. LOudenslager and Mir. Bull held a whispered conver sation and smiled defiantly at Chair man Floss as they made tracks in the direction of the circus parade So the members of the committee faded away until Mir. Kitchin was talking to sin gle auditor. Mr. Floss.
 "Mr Chairman" said Mir. Kitchin, suddenly breaking of from his argu- ment, that circus parade must be a pretty good one or else the committee would have remained to listen to my remarks. move that the committee postpone consideration of the needs of the navy until the circus leaves town"
 Mir. Foss declared the motion carried, and then he and Mir Kitchin hurried out to see the elephants march by Washington Cor. Chicago News.

Iowa to Feed Lots of Cattle.

Present indications are that an I'M
precedented number of cattle will be
fed in Iowa this year. This is due to
the fact that frosts have injured the
crop of corn and that there will be an
extraordinary amount of soft and un-
mark etable corn that will be suitable
only for feeding purposes. Farmers
who heretofore have sold the bulk of
their crop are buying cattle, and re-
ports received by their city correspond
~ents from country banks are to the
effect that there is an unprecedented
demand for money with which to buy
stock cattle and feeders. Reports gath
cred through the railroads as to the
destination and meaning of unusually
heavy shipments Of cattle into the state
are that they are being taken into the
country by farmers for feeding soft
corn. Farmers are putting all the
money they can get hold of into light
cattle, and the markets through which
the bulk of the supplies are secured
are commencing to show the effects
of the extraordinary demand.-Des
Moines Register and Leader.

A Lively Sermon.

A minister in an Iowa town preached
brief but beautiful sermon the other
day. Here it is: "A word to you all.
Post mortem praises and love are in
the air. People kiss their dead that
never stoop to kiss their living; they
hover over their caskets in hysteric
sobs, but fail to throw their arms
around their loved ones who are fight
ing the stern battles of life. A word
of cheer to a struggling soul in life is
worth more than the roses of Cbristen-
dom pilling high on a casket cover.
The dead cannot smell the flowers, but
the living can, therefore scatter them
broadly in their pathway, and pick out
the thorns before it is too late.-Pres-
ton Times.

Pa1mistry Extraordinary,

VI
Salt Lake City folks have lately had
among them an attra ctive, refined and
intelligent palmist. He arrived
couple of months ago and opened an
office, where faring signs proclaimed
him the wonder Of the age He was
soon doing rushing business, telling
mining men when stocks were going
up, advising women in affairs of the
heart, etc. Fer this moderate rec
Ompense was asked and freely paid by
the patrons. To onlookers business
seemed to be increasing, but when the
time for opening the Office came one
morning the professor. of palmistry did
not appear. The public then learned
for the first time that he was the
originator and proprietor of a brand
new swindle. He represented to each
Of his patrons that if they would give
him a twenty dollar goldpiece he
would magnetic it so that they would
have power to read the future. when
they consulted the goldpiece, just as
he read it in the palm. They were
to call and receive their magnetized
goldpieces the day on which the palm
specialist failed to arrive. They called,
but they went away without their gold
and with a conviction that the mag
netic influence between the professors
fingers and the goldpieces was really
marvellous. The Salt Lake folks do
not now take kindly to palmists, no
matter how refined and intelligent

The highest Yet Recorded.

Two German balloonists assembled
from Berlin to height of $4,000 feet
without losing consciousness. A greater
height was reached by two other bal
loonists but they lost consciousness and
no actual record after passing that
altitude was kept. The strain under
which the scientists are working at
such an altitude is enormous and they
need golden grain belt beer to relieve
it. Pure, refreshing. and invigorating,
this beer rests and quiets the nerves,

POTATO TESTS,

Results of Experiments Made by Expert
ment Station at Grand Rapids.
The experiment farm at Grand Ra-
pids is testing great number of va
rieties of potatoes to determine their
relative yield and market value. The
work is carried on with much care.
The varieties are planted in rows of
equal length and an equal number of
piecesof equal weight is planted of each
kind. In addition, standard kind is
selected, and planted in every seventh
row. The variation in yield of this
kind is taken as an indication of the
variation in the soil, and the yields are
corrected to eliminate this inequality.
The resulting comparison is quite &C.
curate and in three to five years the
results obtained must be of great value
to potato growers. A cooking test is
made of each variety to determine the
quality and favor-and the shape and
size are noted, as affecting the market
value.
Ihls season, SO varieties were tested.
They were planted in new ground
that had been plowed the previous
spring and sown to oats which were
pastured off by sheep. The ground
was spring plowed and the potatoes
furrowed in and covered with g. har-
row. They were planted in rows three
eetapart, single pieces placed Is inches
apart in row, the amount of seed
sown being Is bushels per acre. The
total yield of the plot planted to vari-
cites was II .@52 bushels on 80 acres or

the average yield OF the varieties. The
individual yields ranged from SCI bush

Ethics and Dirt ShOveline.

A Missouri clergyman is spending his
vacation with construction gang that
is building a roadbed for a railroad.
he says that his object in thus spend
ing his vacation is to mingle with the
men and get thoroughly in touch with
the 1aboring classes with a view to an
ethical study therein. He thinks that
a years practical reading would not
compare with the benefit to be secured
in his six weeks actual close touch.
Besides, he is hardening his muscle,
toning up his system and in other ways
preparing himself physically for his
labor in the pulpit and out. The plan
Is good one and to be recommended
to other brain workers, although six
weeks of it would be too much of a
dose for most of those who labor with
the brain rather than with the hands.
The physical labor need not be ex-
actly that chosen by the worthy rev.
erend. This is the season Of tie year
when many farmers are looking for
hands, and it is certain that few occu-
pat1ons offer such attractions to a
townsman as helping to till the soil.
Contact with the good, green earth and
with the hard realities Of physical
labor is good thing for everybody.

Funeral of Elder BOuck.

The funeral of Elder J. S. Bouck oc.
Cured at the Methodist church last
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. It was
under the auspices of the Odd Fellows
who had charge of the arrangements
at the house and conducted the funeral
ceremony at the grave. A delegation
OF Masons representing Fraternal lodge
of Princeton attended the funeral in a
body. Many friends of the deceased
were present at the funeral to pay their
last respects to all that was mortal of
the aged minister and old settler. It
was the wish of the deceased that Pre-
siding Elder Forbes should preach the
funeral sermon, but Mr.. Forbes was
unable to attend, and the funeral SER
vice at the church was conducted by
Revs. Gratz and Moxie. Music was
furnished by special choir. Rev.
Moxie read from the scriptures and
the prayer was offered by Rev. Gratz,
who also delivered short sermon
Rev. Gratz read a very touching letter
from Rev. J. F. Chaffee, of Pasadena,
CAL, who years ago was presiding elder
OF the M. E. conference and who as
signed Elder Bouck to his Princeton
appointment. Mr.. Chaffee's letter was
a beautiful tribute to Elder BOuck' s
faithfulness, fidelity and zeal in his
ministerial work.
At the grave the burial service of
the Odd Fellows was read, and the
mortal career of J. S. Bouck was closed
forever. The pail bearers were Aug.

At eighty six, Russell Sage declares
that he "feels as spry as colt" and
that in all his long life he has found
no better way of passing time than by
putting in full days work. 'Work
has become a habit with me and I
enjoy it," says "Uncle" Russell. "Hab-
its formed early in life are hard to
break off. The habit of industry
have had since my youth. My health
is good, and I like work, and there
fore it becomes an amusement to me-
You see, 1 am indulging my tastes

Of retiring from business. I hope to
engage in business for many years to

in this, perhaps not. At least here is
bit Of personal testimony which should
interest the thinking man.
