A Political Sherlock Holmes.

Ex-Governor Long of Massachusetts,
is o political Sherlock Holmes. Not
long ago he was at county fair, when
farmer approached him. Governor
Long stuck out his hand and said:
81 am glad to see you again, sir,
glad to see you. IIow's your wife?
And the boy?"
All was right and accurate, and the
farmer beamcd with pleasure. Cover
nor Long continued:
"And say! How about the white
horse? Still have him, suppose?"
"Wali, now. Who'd thought
you'd remember a little thing like
that, Guv'nor2 Yes, l still got the
old white horse"
When the farmer had passed out of
hearing, friend exclaimed:
"Say, governor, that wife and boy
question was all right and safe. But
how in tho world did you know he had
white horse?"
"Well," said Governor Long, "I'll

Etiquette OF Being Cowhided.

William Allen White has settled
definitely for all time the course OF
procedure which man should follow
when he is suddenly confronted by an
irate lady with horsewhip; said lady
being possessed with the idea Of be.
laboring said man with said whip.
White gained his wisdom in the school
of experience. 10 describing his ex-
perience he admits that, just before
the blow fell, he was in considerable
doubt as to how to act. "When wo-
man with fire in her eyes" he says
dynamite in her every movement, and
q large black snake bears down on
Mere Man, what is the proper thing
for him to do?"
Indeed it has been for many years a
matter for study, and it is we'll that
Mr.. White has solved it by establish
ing precedent. Comparatively few
men have been horsewhipped by wo-
men. Those who have stood up in
public and been lashed have not pre-
sented dignified appearance. Besides
whip in the hands of q woman of the
modern school Of athletics is almost
as dangerous weapon as rolling pin
or chair leg.
White filled the long felt want.
The Kansas editor printed in his
paper something that woman did not
like. She camped on Mr.. White $
trail armed with cowhide and met
him on g public street.
MI. White is a thinker. He has
much gray matter under his hat. He
knows o situation when he sees it.
His brain was under pressure of at
least 10000 volts. The cowhide
grew as the woman approached until
it looked like sapling. Should he
engage in wrestling match or allow
himself to be clouted until he resem-
bled q zebra7 Should he run or fight?
Mind you, this was no kitchen

brawl; no scrape between those low in
the social scale. One of the First
Gentlemen Of the Sunfower State was
about to make precedent that
would go hurtling down through the
ages.
He made it. But one blow was
landed and then William Allen White
was off. He scarcely touched the
high spots. Had he studied the ac-
tion of jackrabbit for year he could
have gotten no more speed out of his
shapely limbs. He took fence like
blooded hunter, ditch like stag,
nor did he rest until he found sane
tuary within the walls Of the editorial
sanetum.
