WASN'T HE Hof
How Uncle Tom Made Himself ODJ tionable to This Young Lady.

'eDo you know" said the girl with the gray eyes, T think he IS simply horrid"
 ''Horrid? Who's horrid? quer- jed the demure little thing.
 "Why, that uncle of mine, of course" rejoined she of the orbs of gray, in tone that evinced sur prise that any one should not be fully aware of the individual she had in mind
 The demure little thing, says the New York Times, looked startled. "He hasn't lost his for tune, has he?" she asked.
 'Good gracious, no-thank Heav- en. But he's just as horrid as he can be, nevertheless. Listen. You know I have always had the great est fondness for Uncle Tom, and have without exceS90a8-tal him everything absolutely everything. The fact is that I have had so much trouble with-well, you know the men 1 have gone with. Last year when that affair with Dick was on, l, of course, wrote Uncle Tom, who was then in Chicago, all about 1t. Now he had always liked Dick, so he wrote me beautiful letter. simply beautiful-offering me all manner of felicitations and wishes for bright and prosperous future.
 'sIt isn't necessary to tell you, my best friend, how bitterly Dick q appointed me by his conduct. 1 know they say l threw him over, and all that sort of thing, but hon. estly, there wasn't but one thing to do, and of course l did it.
 q suppose it did seem little soon to Uncle Tom, when, a lit- tie over two months after he wrote that letter, to receive news of my engagement to Jack. However, uncle approved of my course in the matter, even though he did prefer Dick to any one else, and l couldn't complain of the letter he sent me in reply, which was as nice as the first one, although he did express some little surprise. All the same, he expressed entire confidence in my judgment,
 "Now, my dear, here's where Un- cle Tom made himself most objec- tionable. Two weeks ago, when 1 found that above all that l loved Reginald, l received a third letter from Uncle Tom, in which, after acknowledging the receipt of my letter, he said:
 - desire,4Gsay dear, to congratu-. lSg you on your Approaching mar riage with -

CT MT. William, the counselor, the philosopher" At the age of 14 he entered the great University of Cambridge in England and at once, in spite of his youth, took high place among the students at that celebrated place of learning.
 When he went to Cambridge the boy was in such feeble health that he had to be accompanied by a nurse, and all through his course there he was in so poor condition, physically, that it was doubted if he ever would be able to finish the course.
 But hard study seemed to agree with him, and when he was grad uated, at the age of IF, he was much stronger than when he en- tered the university.
 At an age when most boys are preparing to enter college, or, if they are very clever, have just be- come freshmen, young Pitt won the degree of master of arts from one of the greatest universities in the world and began the study of law.
 At 21 he was admitted to the bar, and the same year was elected a member of parliament, to become prime minister three years later.
 While he was yet law student, and only IS years old, he attracted the attention of prominent men by his clear views on the questions of government, which then were per picking the rulers of England. The boy was invited everywhere, and men holding important offices lis tened to his advice and asked his opinions.
 His friends wanted him to go into parliament when he was 20 and all predicted for him a brilliant career. It was curious to see this delicate stripling, boy in looks and years, meeting the great and wise men of the country as an equal and conversing on even terms with the most learned scholars of the day.
 Young Pitt used to like to listen to the debates in the British par lament, and Mr. Fox, the great statesman, meeting him once after debate, was astonished at the manner in which the boy criticised the eminent men who had spoken and pointed out where they could have made their argument stronger.
 One of the hardest works to un- derstand that ever was written is a book called "Cassandra," written by man named I.ycophronis. It is written in Greek. A learned man placed the book in the hands of young Pitt when the boy was 16 years old and he read it at first sight, translating into English as he read and explaining it in a man. ner which made the learned man declare that had he not seen it he would have believed it beyond the power of human intellect"
 When Pitt was 16 his father de- clarcd that he would be a great statesman and was the hope of the country. Other folks soon became of his fathers way of thinking and that is why they put him into par lament when he was so young and made him prime minister soon after.
 He fulfilled all that was expected of him and ruled England during 13 of the most eyentful years of her history.

THE BAND CUT ICE.
Too Cold to Make Music, asd They
Wanted TO Ne Set to Work
at Once.

One winter when the First United States
cavalry was stationed in Montana the
bandmaster went to the commander Of the
post, Gen. Cuvier Grover, and reported
that the members of the band had been or
dered to help cut ice, relates the Detroit
Free Press. He said 'Sheneral, they did
not enlist us to cut ice, but to make moosic. =
The commanding officer called the adjutant
and on his approach said: MIR. Adjutant,
MIR. Schmidt wishes the band excused from
ice fatigue; he says they enlisted to make
music" Mr.. Schmidt, bowling to the COM
handing officer, said: ''Yes, sheneral, to
make moOsic." The commanding officer
then said: Mr.. Adjutant, the band will
be excused from ice fatigue" Mr.. Schmidt
bowed himself out, saying: Thank you,
sheneral; thank you, sheneral." "But"
continued the commanding officer, as the
door closed, MIR. Adjutant, the band will
take post on the bluff overlooking the river
and will make music while the rest of the
command cut ice." The weather was in
tensely cold, and as a matter of course it
was impossible for the players to make a
sound, their breathing freezing on their
instruments. The bandmaster again hur-
ried to the commanding officer and said
"Sheneral, it is impossible to make
moosic; the band would rather cut ice"
Very well, Mr.. Schmidt, just as you WISH"
replied the commanding officer, and, call
ing the adiutant, he said: MIR. Adjutant,
the band will cut ice."

ELKS C0MPLIME

In the official report of the district
deputy of this district of the Elks or
ganization, made to the Grand lodge
of Elks at Baltimore. Hon. J. Maurice
Finn had the following fattering
words to saw of the local lodge.
II cannot refrain from calling at
tention to the Grand junction lodge
No. 575. Their territory is quite
limited. not in acres, but in popula
tion. The work of initiation done
was of the most exemplary character.
l may say absolutely perfect and
without a ritual in sight. Their
lodge and clubrooms are gems of
beauty and cost the lodge over So. 600.
The membership consists of the very
best aud most representative men of
Grand Junction and the surrounding
country. l do u mention this fact
to cast any discredit IN any other
lodge, but simply hoping that the
magnificent work of Grand Junction
lodge No. 575 may be an incentive to
some of the other lodges in my iuris-
diction. to take greater interest in the
noble work for which our order was
founded. :"
Certainly the above language is
highly complimentary TO the lodge of
this city. but it is by no means over
drawn. The work is performed in as
brilliant a manner as Mr.. Finn de-
scribes and the officers of the lodge
take pride in performing the work al
lotted to them to the best of their
ability.

FOR A JOINT COMMISSION.
President Roosevelt Will Recommend
One to Study Finance.

Washington, Oct Sit is said that
the president will recommend to con-
gress the appointment of a joint COM
mission to study the financial situa-
tion and outline proposed currency
legislation. It has been urged on Mr..
Roosevelt that this would be the plan
most likely to succeed in harmonizing
the conflicting opinions Of congress-
men and bankers as to what Is needed
in the way of new laws.
Secretary Shaw opposes the commits
sion scheme. He believes that each
member Of it would adhere to his own
views and that as they would be Sc
1ected from different, camps there
would be as many widely different re-
ports as there are members of the
commission The result would be to
leave congress as much in the dark
as 1t Is now
e. j. Hill, member OF the banking
and currency committee. after a con:
ference with treasury officials Wednes-
day, called on the president. Mr..
Hill declared that the president will

consider currency legislation and that
congress will adopt this plan in lieu OF
any direct legislation this winter.
