The Might Of a Lie
Task of Overtahne Untruh Has Well Been Described
Hopeless One-E7ow Fabrication Wrecked
Political Career Of John 6: Carlisle

Probably the most impossible,
hopeless task on earth is to overtake
a lie. The other day ex-Speaker John
G.. Carlisle, now q successful lawyer
for great corporations, with an old
fashioned home in North Washing
ton square, passed along Pine street
with the easy gait of a plow horse.
Two citizens saluted him and when
he had passed on one remarked:
There used to be the making Of a
president in that man. The entire
country looked up to him. If it had
not been for his Cynthiana speech the
northern democracy would have been
solid for him, and. of course, he
owned the southern wing. The speech
ruined him. He retired from politics
with broken heart and settled in
New York to make little money"
Here is an extract from that ia
nous, heart-rending speech:
Il deny that the United States is
nation! 1t is a vicious system that
has destroyed sovereign states and
oppressed nine millions of people in
the south. If state has no right Of
secession she certainly has no right
of revolution. The most Infamous
order ever issued was that Of the at.
torney general only a few days ago,
which caused sixty companies of sol.

CAUSE OF FLOOD AND DROUTH
Il Is Attributed to Denudation Of Forests
Which May Produce Either Extreme.

Il Is Attributed to Denudation Of Forests
Which May Produce Either Extreme.
Just now the West is witnessing the
devastation caused by floods produced
by rains which, falling upon a defor-
ested region, rush unhindered down
the watersheds, gathering a volume
whose force sweeps everything before
it, says the St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch.
In the East the effect of denudation
Of forests is seen in prolonged drouth
that is threatening entire loss of crops.
In the West the exceptional rains
over limited areas prevented recur-
renee OF the drouths, from which its
agriculture frequently suffers. In the
statutes of the nation stands q pre-.
MUM OF 81 a thousand to those who
will exterminate our forests of pine
and hardwoods, while another addi.
tional premium is added in case an
exporting country lays An export duty
on the products of its forests. Even
the poplar and spruce, which may be
used in making paper, are not exempt
from this law whose effect, whatever
its purpose, is to facilitate the destruc.
ton of forests that retain rainfall and
prevent either extreme OF flood or
drouth. Congress should promptly
make some provision for the protection
of the forests at the headwaters of our
streams, otherwise within q very few
years the country will suffer damages
from which it will take q hundred
years to recover. Much of the loss OF
life and property in the floods of past
few weeks can be traced directly to the
denudation OF the forests.

GROSSLY INSULTED.
COLONEL j. HAMILTON LEWIS
MISTAKEN FOR A BOER.

His Auburn Whiskers the Cause Of the EN-
barrassins Error-The Man Who Offered
the Insult Apolosized and J. Ham Was
Happy Again - An Intended Compliment
That Was Lost in the CoIoneI's fiirsute
Adornment.
A special to the St. Paul Pioneer
Press relates this amusing happening
(and when are things not happening
to himO to James Hamilton Lewis,
lately, in Chicago.
It was fancied insult to his whis-
kers, an objectionable assault-in the
mind of ]. Ham. His tribulations
lasted two hours, when the man who
offered the insult apologized and our
modern Beau Brummel fairly bowed
to the ground in gracious acceptance
of the amende.
1t transpired that the insult was
unintentional. Mr.. Lewis was stroll
ling through the corridor of hotel
when he encountered Col. William D.
Snymann, the expatriated Boer, who
is in the United States completing
plans for the colonization of Chihua-
hua, Mexico, by those of his country
men who refuse to submit to English
rule. The Mexican government has
promised to assist the Boer exiles to
pay for farms, and Colonel Snymann
is making the final arrangements for
the transportation OF his countrymen
to chihuahua.
"How do you do, sir?" he said to
Mr.. Lewis. Have we not met be.
fore?"
The Hon. J. Hamilton Lewis could
not remember that they had, but he
is not the man to say "No."
Delighted to see you" he remarked
suavely. offering his hand. The two
men fell to talking and matters pro-
gressed swimningly. Before they
had conversed five minutes, Colonel
Snymann decided that it would not
be amiss to offer his new friend farm
at chihuahua. Mr.. Lewis received
the offer good naturedly, although it
piqued his pride that any one should
think he had the makings" of q
farmer beneath his glossy coat. He
thanked the stranger, and was about to
ask for an explanation when the in
suit came. "Do you know" said
Colonel Snymann, and his tone was
warm with good fellowship, "do you
know recognized you as q Boer the
moment my eyes fell on you. I think
it was your whiskers that first drew
my attention. No one but . Boer
could grow whiskers like yours"
Mr.. Lewis did not wait for more.
He sharply turned on his heel, raised
his hat and marched away, indigna.
tion showing in every stride. 1t was
until late in the evening that mutual
acquaintance brought about an under.
standing and reconciliation.

" "sheng" hunters, who seek it in the

Chicago has the largest mushroom
farms in the United States and its
farmers are women. In several low
brick structures, standing partly un-
der and partly over ground at North
western and BOwmanville avenues, are
1000 square feet of beds from which
during the height Of the season is
taken ton of mushrooms week.
The most beautiful American farm
is on the estates OF Mr.. Arthur Cowee,
known as Meadowvale farm" near
Troy, N. Y.
For years Mr.. Cowee, who is one
OF the country's bituminous coal
barons, has taken a keen interest in
the cultivation of gladioluses, his
favorite flower. Seventy-five acres of
his farm are devoted entirely to the
growing OF these blooms. Nowhere
else are to be found the fine varieties
and colors that this farm displays
every season. From all parts of the
world, at enormous cost, Mr.. Cowee
has gathered gladiolus bulbs of the
most expensive species.

THE French Chamber of Deputies
has under consideration a measure
providing relief for the aged in the
form OF pension or free hospital and
medical care for every needy person of
at least seventy years of age. The
committee by which the measure was
reported favorably estimates that the
cost will be $3.4O0,00O per annum
others insist, however, that the ex.
pense will reach $3O,OOO,OOO. The
plan appears to be very popular in
France and while great many states
men seriously doubt the advisability
Of assuming the new burden, the Paris
correspondent for the Chicago Tribune
says that the government will intro
duce the bill and the problem must
consequently be solved either by econ
omies in the expenses of the War De-
partment or by levying new taxes.

SOME ODD FACTS ABOUT FROGS
Have PecuIiarities Not Found in Any Other
Living Creature.

Have IPecuIiarIties Not Found in Any Other
Living Creature.
The frogs skin is so important as o
breathing apparatus that the creature
would die at once OF suffocation if the
pores we're closed by coat OF sticky
varnish, by dust or in any other way.
While we are speaking OF his breath
ing you will notice that his sides do
not heave as ours do at each breath
We take. A frog has no ribs and can
not inhale and exhale as we do, but is
obliged to swallow his air in gulps,
and if you will watch this little fel.
lows throat you will see it continually
moving in and out as one gulp follows
another. In order to swallow his
mouth must be closed; just try to
swallow with your mouth wide open
and you will see what ] mean. A frog,
then, always breathes through his nose,
and if you hold his mouth open he
would suffocate as surely as though
you gave his skin coat OF varnish.
Mr.. Frog has an enormous mouth
for his size and if we were to put q
finger inside it we would find that he
has row OF teeth in the upper jaw
and that his soft white tongue, unlike
our own, is attached in front and is
free behind. When he wishes to catch
any insect he throws out the free end
of the tongue, then draws it in so rap
Idly that it is difficult to see whether
he has been successful or not. As the
tongue is coated with q gummy fluid
the insect sticks to it and is carried
back into the mouth, which closes
upon it like the door Of . tomb.
Frogs, however, are not limited to one
mode Of feeding; they often leap open
mouthed upon larger prey, which in
cludes besides insects small fish, mice,
small ducklings, polliwogs and tiny
frogs.

in such cases.
1T has been formerly denied from
Washington that the government of the
United States supported the movement for
the separation Of the isthmus However
that may be, it is not striking nor does it
give occasion for special excitement that
mighty state will not permit itself to
be thwarted in its civilizing work through
the stubbornncss of a land threc-f -fourths
