A few years ago, as a result Of the
fierce fractional fight in Pennsylvania,
Quay reached Washington with a GER
tiicate Of appointment to the Senate
from the Governor of the keystone
State. The Legislature had been dead
locked; the question Immediately arose
in the United States Senate-is the ap-
pointment constitutional? The lawyers
Of the upper house of Congress debated
the proposition for weeks; the practical
Senators counted noses. It was admit
ted by both sides that it was a neck
and neck contest-that a single vote
would decide the ISSUE At that time
| it was asserted and believed that if
Quay were not seated it would sound
the death knell of his political suprem-
acy. The Quayites claimed Vest as a
matter of course.
The Missouri Senator had been very
| i'll, and 1t was feared would not be In
his seat when the vote was taken. On
the morning Of the fateful session the
green baize doors of the Senate were
pushed open, and Vest, looking bag
gard and worn, was assisted to his
place. Surely the issue must be mo-
mentous to bring a man from his sick
bed? The roll call proceeded amid the
most intense interest. Every senator
was in his place keeping tab on the
vote. The names were called in al
phabetical order and the clerk was
near the end Of the roll. 1t was {

Amid heart-breaking silence every
man in the chamber almost at the same

Babies Are always Welcome.


The Usage country is land where
baby may always be sure of a large
welcome. For one reason, he has an
earning capacity from the day he is
born which is often quite as great as
his fathers. One of the next things
after naming the little pappoose is to
go to Pawhuska, the capital of their
nation, and have its name put upon
the pay roll. Once every three months
Uncle Sam pays up the interest on
the money which he holds in trust for
them, and the amount paid to each
Indian varies from time to time &C.

not long ago had the happiness to be
blessed with twins, he was not only

due a new father, but at the same

Youngest Bank President.

The youngest bank president in the
world is Carl r. Schultz, president
Of the Equitable National Bank of New
York. Mr.. Schultz is only 81 years old,
says the New York Tribune. He was
graduated from Yale only six years
ago.
This young man was asked recently
to what quality he attributed his sue
cess, and he replied that he attributed
it to discretion and GOODNESS. Then he
was asked to give an instance of that
quality's manifestation, but he would
not give a personal one. He said, with
laugh, that he would give an In
stance Of GOODNESS and discretion,
but it would be one somewhat diff
ferent from the kind he meant, and ii
would pertain not to himself but to q
ScOtchman.

HUNTING BEAR IN COLORADO

From September the Hunting Ts Good
Until Winter Sets in.
The spring season is comparatively
brief, as the fur is in prime condition
only for a short time after the bears
come out, says the Illustrated Sport
ing News. They take Immediately to
a vegetable diet and strenuous life,
which soon works off the layers Of fat
and by June l the fine winter coat
becomes thin and more or less shay
gy. BY September, however, the fur
is again in good condition, and from
then on hunting is good until real
winter sets in, and the first big, last
ing snoWstorm sends Bruin hunting
for shelter. The latter is not neces-
sarily in "a dark den in the rocks or
In the cave formed by the roots Of
some fallen giant of the forest" for
the falling giant is seldom considerate
enough to form anything which could
seriously be called cave" and good
rock dens are few and far between.
If winter comes on gradually, the bear
will take some time in selecting a
really good den, but if it sets in sud-
denly and in earnest with big snow
storm, the bear will "hole up" in any
sort of shelter; fallen trees, piles of
brush, bushes or lodges Of rock, and
almost invariably on the northern
sides of the mountains, where the
snow lies longest and they can sleep
till the melting snow trickIes in on
them and drives them out.
The method of hunting is the same
in both seasons, but the feeding
grounds differ. In the fall they COL
lect where the berries grow, but in
the spring one runs across their tracks
almost anywhere, as they are then
constantly on the move, and feed on
the bark of young alders, willow and
all sorts Of water plants, fish, frogs,
ants, etc.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The one great merit Of the re-

Yesterday at Chicago is its literary
form. It was written by Heni3
Cabot Lodge. which is a su ficient
guarantee Of its litera.y excellence
A very beautiful &c, Of literature
it is, but when the substance Of ii
Is examined, it is found to be
very weak affair. On the whole
however, it is perhaps as strong
defense Of weak cause as could be
made.
Senator Lodge IS historian and
it is natural that he should begin
his literary task in a reminiscent
mood. He takes us back to fifty
years ago when the republican
party came into existence. His
document fails, however, as was TO
be expected. TO show how the party
il these latter days has cast 70 the
winds the doctrines which made il
a tower Of strength in the days Of
Lincoln; how the "luster Of the tra-
ditions Of the party which carried
the government through the storms
Of civil war" have been over
shadowed by the shame Of subjugat-
ing a helpless alien people.
The platform then proceeds to
congratulate the party upon the
great progress OF the nation that
has been brought about by Ameri-
can energy and industry but i fall
to show any logical connection be
tween this progress and the repub-
lican party.
