happy two-legged ass. And to Sc
cure his highest development he
placed this amusing ass in the ranks
of the "400." And the biggest ass
OF all these is Harry Lehr. In New
York this ass and his wife have
just thought out and held splendid
birthday dinner in honor of Lehr's
wife's dog. Dogs were invited and
seated at the table, and waited on
each by a mighty butler, and the
woman owned by each dog sat be-
hind the dog. 1t was high and
holy sight, and was voted to be the
most intellectual feast known to the
public since the DAYS when the idiots
in the insane asylum feasted on holes
in the doughnuts. 1t seems as
though the good Lord had two OBJ
jects in creating these human dogs
and monkey asses-to cure melan-
choly by giving the world a hearty
laugh, and to show the utter worth
lessnessness of the ass as member
of society. Do noe blame the dogs
that disport themselves In Newport
society. The poor animals cannot
choose their associates.-ZHeI Icon.

DON'T TRY TO CHEAT A LAWYER,

a young lawyer, just starting in
his profession, hung out his sign in
a Connecticut town where there was
only one other lawyer, &c aged Judge.
A close listed old fellow, thinking
to get legal advice for nothing, called
upon the young man, told him he
was very glad he had come into the
town, as the old Judge was getting
superannuated, and then contrived in
a sort of neighborly talk to get some
legal questions answered. Then
thanking the young man, he put on
his hat and was about to leave, when
the young man asked him if he
should charge the advice, for which
the fee was five dollars. The old
fellow went into a violent passion,
and swore he never would pay. The
young lawyer told him he would sue
him if he didn't.
80 the old fellow went down to see
the judge, found him hoeing in his
garden, and said:
"The young scamp that's just come
into town! L dropped in to make a
neighborly call on him, and he
charges me five dollars for legal
advice"
"Served you right" said the Judge;
"you had no business to have gone to
him."
"But have l got to pay it, judge P"
"Of course you have"
"Well, then," said the man, 81
suppose l must" and he started off.
"Hold nP' said the judge; "aren't
you going to pay me ?''
"Pay you? What for?"
"For legal advice"
"What do you charge ?"
"Ten dollars"
The result was that the old fellow
had to pay five dollars to the young
lawyer and ten dollars to the old one.

required by medical doctors. A
beautiful church is now being erected
at New Berne, and the Rev. Mary
Baker G. Eddy, discoverer and
founder of Christian Science, has
contributed $4,000. Mrs. Eddy has
recently erected a 100000 church
at her home city, Concord, N. Ii. A
81, 100000 church is now being er-
ected in Boston, with seating capac-
ity of five thousand.
There are six churches in Chicago,
and nine in greater New York city.
One of the New York churches, with
seating capacity of twenty-five
hundred, cost more than a million
dollars. Another New York church
cost about 100000. The money
was given for these handsome
churches by those who were grateful
for physical and moral healing.
The Earl of Dunmore in England
gives all his time to the healing
work in London, aud his daughter,
Lady Victoria Murray, built church
last year In Manchester, England.
More than four thousand people re-
Gently attended o Christian Science
lecture there. The healing is wrought

love for all, with reverence aud re-
spect for individual rights whereby

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The chrysanthemum is the national
flower of Japan. Its popularity in
this country has grown immensely
since the eastern war began.
We are told that the period has
rolled around for the Chinese Boxers
to again rise. U. S. Minister Conger
has asked for American troops.
The governor of Virginia lost two
overcoats at Democratic rally. 1t
has not been explained how any rep
resentative of the "Plain Peepul''
came to have two overcoats.- Wash
inqton Post.
Representative Hay, of Virginia,
thinks the time has come for the
South to assert itself and refuse to
any longer follow the dictates of the
Northern Democracy, and there are
lots of Democrats who think like
him.
Merchandising is changing every
where, and nowhere so much so as in
the West. 1t has ceased to be trade
and is becoming science. When A.
II. Stewart had 800 clerks in his New
York store it was considered a won
der. Now there is one retail dry
goods establishment in Chicago
which has 10000 clerks and it's an
nual sales amount to tens of millions.
The standing of the merchant is
rising. La our Eastern States certain
classes sneer at the men engaged in
trade. 1t is not so in the West
The merchant is as much respected
as the lawyer or doctor. He looks
upon his position as profession and
is proud of it.

GIRLS ABOARD BALTIC FLEET

During the time of the prepara-
tions of the Baltic fleet a great many
actresses and chorus girls from the
Moscow and st. Petersburg theatres
were constantly with the officers of
the fleet. When the fleet finally
sailed it was found that goodly por-
ton of these women were missing.
1t has been learned that they are
aboard the fleet.
1t is hard for the people of any
other nation to believe that women
would be allowed on a warship in
time of war, but it is only too true
that they are aboard almost every
vessel in the Russian navy.
While the accusation Is not openly
made that Admiral Roiestvensky
was drunk when he fired on the fish
ing boats in the North sea, as letters
come back from those aboard the
fleet it becomes more and more certain
that if he was not drunk he was
about the only man aboard who
could plead to being sober.

THE LINE UPON THE SAND.

With anchor up in waiting,
The ships stood off the shore;
The band of bold explorers
Were faint Of heart and sore;
When out stepped grim Pizarro,

He stepped five PAGES slowly,
Five PAGES from the band;
His good sword from Toledo
He bore within his hand;
And with Its point he traced them
A line upon the sand

So spake his bearded lips,
death, hunger, hardship, also
Wealth, anne beyond eclipse!
And on the other comfort
And the home-returning ships"
And certain ones passed over
The line and with him stood
Death-scorning, SCARED old fighters
or the brave old Spanish blood
But 10 the rest disheartened,
The ships for home seemed goodl

The line upon the sandl
On one side hardship. danger,

But few there be cross over
When ease lies close at handl

Which we are taught death opens to our

When L with fearful eyes shall vsinly sue
For the loved touch of familiar hand,
The look of eyes that ever understand,
The kiss of lips whose kiss and words

Then grant me this when shall call to

In Loneliness SURPRISING, from the strand;
IL you should hear me in the hush of eve.
Breathe something tender for me to the

And through the darkness, looking TO

LOT OF A WYOMING EDITOR.

Editing newspapers nice thing.
If we publish jokes, people say we
are rattle-brained. If we don't, we
are fossils. If we publish original
matter, they say we don't give them
enough selections. If we give them
selections, they say we are too lazy t.
write. If we don't go church we
are heathens. If we go, we are hyp.
ocrites. If we remain at the Office
we ought to be out looking for news
items. If we 60 out, then we are
not attending to business. If We
wear old clothes they laugh at US
If we wear good clothes they say We
have pull. Now what are we to
do? Just as likely as not someone
will say that we stole this from an
exchange. So we did. 1t is from
the Wyoming Derrick Dillon (Wyo.,
Doublgack, and we copied it from
the Havana Post.
