WOMEN IN POLITICS.
An illustration of the Influence Thes Can
Exert,

Cleveland Leader.l
1t was remarkable scene in the great
Republican convention held last Saturday
when the report upon the nominations ior
school officers was presented. Up to that
time the convention was, as such conven'
tions usually are, noisy and boisterons'
with plenty Of work for the sergeant'at
arms, but the moment Chairman laserot
announced that the Womens Republican
League would present Il report regarding
the nominations for school officers the
noise IN thelconvention was hushed and
the gathering was as quiet and decorous as
a Sunday school convention.
The report was presented III dignlned
and impressive manner by Mrs. Isabella
Alexander, and its effect WAS such az 10 at
once cause the convention to adopt The
four candidates which had been voted Tor
bv the Women's League as the candidates
to be placed upon the Republican ticket.
Such is the Influence of women in politics.
The Republican women in Cleveland
we're determined that tier prefogative
should be exercised, and that good can
didates should be selected for members oil
the school council. Their work was In
dustrously aud zealously performed, and
they will be heard from when the votes
are counted April &.

AN ESSAY ON LUMP Jaw.
Where 1t Came from and Its Effects On
Dusty Guch.

Topeka JOurnalI
Where the lump jaw came from nobody
knew. The editor over at Red Dog
thought that his rival, the editor of the
Dusty Gulch Bazoo," brought 1t with
him from the etfete east where grip, lump
jaw, ennui, SPAWN and corns were popu-
lar. The editor of the "Bazoo" denied
the charges and denounced the "Red
Dog" editor as a contemplate cur in the
next issue of the Dusty Gulch paper.
Contemplate cur" was not in the lexi-
con of words which were the cause for
shooting, and it was not until the "Ba-
zoo" editor called the "Red Dog" pup
Usher a plain, unvarnished liar that the
matter was settled. Then the funeral Of
the editor from Dusty Gulch was held and
the "Bazoo" was combined with the "Red
Dog Barker"
The combining of the two papers had
much to do with the Punishment Of the
unfriendly feeling that had always existed
between the town p eople of Red Dog and
the citizens Of the Dusty Gulch communi-
ty ever since the day that Wyoming Wal
lace, of Dusty Gulch, bad handed Tuscon
Charley, Of Red Dog, black bottle filled
with tomato catsup, spiked with capiscum,
which Tuscon Charley supposed was pure
Bourbon and which he put to his lips and
almost drained before he knew the differ
ence.
OF course, Wyoming Wallace's funeral
would have been held the next day If
Tuscon Charley had been quick enough
But the hammer of bis Colt caught in the
loose folds Of his hunting shirt, and-it
was his funeral which called for salvo OF
revolver shots the next day, and it was
his pony, saddle and bride that the Pro
bate Judge had to sell to pay the funeral
expenses.
That Dusty Gulch man would make
Red Dog man drink catsup and. then
shoot him besides was more than Red |
Dog could stand, and for years the citi-
zens of the two towns had looked for
each other over every rise and had sa-
uted each other with well-directed shots.
The country between Red Dog and Dusty
Gulch was mighty unhealthy for several
wears, because of the stray bullets,
1t was unhealthy until the lump jaw
came to the country and the long horns
had their jaws swelled up bigger than
a bundle of steer hides ready for ship
ment.
But with the consolidation Of the two
papers came the passing Of the enmity,
and when the Mayor of Red Dog sent a
case of canned tomatoes over to the Mayor
Of Dusty Gulch and the Mayor at the
Gulch sent back case of the best whiskey
there was in the camp the trouble ended.
The lump jawed cattle days marked the
new era in the Black Jack region.

About Animals.

The eel has two separate hearts. One

A large number of swans from Russia
and North Germany wlntered on the

The boa and python have the largest

Near Tiverton, Devonshire, there is to
be seen a blackbird with white head

A curious butterfly exists in India. The
male hes the left wing yellow and the right
one red; the female has these colors re-
velsed.
A bee, unladen, will fly forty miles an
hour, but one coming home laden with
honey does not travel faster than twelve
miles an hour.
The house fly is very rapid in flight, it,
wings making 800 beats second, in
which time it goes 25 feet. When alarmed
the rate is increased to that of 80 feet
second.
When feeding, the stride OF an ostrich
is from 20 to % inches; when walking,
but not feeding, 26 inches, and wi ell
terrified III to IA feet, or at the rate Of
about % miles an hour.
1t has often been stated that sixty mics
an hour was the utmost rate at which
swallow could fly. Recent experiments
upon Compeigne and Antwerp proved
that a swallow IN hurry can cover 1881
miles in an hour.
Originally the common or domestic goat

The Democrats will naturally seek for

theoretically every Democratic Senator
