HOW BEN BUTLER soUELCHED HIM.

The late Benjamin f. Batter was one
of those tactful speakers who kept an
audience in roar and who won their
good will, even II he did not capture
their votes, by the unorthodoX charac-
ter of his political preaching. During
one Of those good d-fashioned politl-
cal meetings for which Massachusetts,
was noted Butler, in an outburst OF
patriotism truly made the eagle
scream" Then, for diversion, he en-
gagged in the delectable occupation Of
pulling the tall' Of the British lion,
just for the pure enjoyment Of hearing
that bad-tempered and sorely harassed
animal growl. AZ one point in his adj
dress he quoted certain English news
paper as authority for his assertion.
A burly red-faced man in the audi
ence, who had interrupted him twice
before, cried out, in heavy bass
voice:
81 don't know Of any such paper"
Butler paused in his remarks; and az
ter the silence had become oppressive,
he walked to the center of the stage,
and pointing the foreiinger Of his right
hand at the offender said slowly and
emphatically:
Pray, my dear sir, do not interrupt
the proceedings Of this meeting, for If
you begin TO tell US what you don't
know there will be no time for anything
else,
The roar Of genuine laughter that fol-
lowed this thrust completely squelched
the dlsturber, Who kept silence during
the remainder Of the meeting,-George
Barton, in Harper's Weekly.

A DOG DEAL.

Prince George and Prince Conrad OF
Bavaria have come 10 America to Visit
the So, Louis Fair. They crossed on the
KrOnprnz wilhelm, and one OF their
fellow passengers said the other day;

Prince George told us story about his
brother Prince conrad, he said, was
fond Of boar hunting and was always
adding to his collection of boay hounds.
"Once In he forest he met a peasant

but the peasant was eloquent and
persuasive, WITH innumorable Instances
he proved that the dog never failed in
running down bears that he was fear
less aud lnviuclblc. The Prince. az last
thought him at the cXorbitant price the
man asked
HE was proud Of his purchase. He
thought he had gotten a bargain. HIS
Joy was great the next morning when
the new hound started boar and
raced or after H.
The Prince who was ON foot, followed
the chase as fast as he could In an
hour he came upon a woodcutter.
Did you see a dog and boar pass
this way" he asked,
Yes said the woodcutter

SPECIAL RACES AT CALDER'S.
Events TO be Given for Federation OF
Labor Day at Resort.

One Of the chief attractions for the an
nual outing Of the Federation Of Labor at
Caldor's Park on Saturday, will be a spe-
cial program OF horse races arranged by
the management OF the track
The program consists of two harness
events and a running race, and each
should prove highly interesting as there
Is a 500 purse hung up for each race. The
dash will be four and half furlong
affair. 1t Is believed that the most inter-
esting contest will be In the one between
Kangaroo, Cold Storage and Miss VIII
liams. These horses are very evenly
matched, and the owner of each be-
lieves he has the best.
The other harness event will be best
three out OF five, the contestants being
Lock George NJ, Blaokcloud and Benz
nett Mare. The heats will be for half a
mile.
The horses entered in the dash are
Hymn, Commodore and Little Wait The
latter II a new horse, and was entered
from Ogden. Just what the animal can
do remains to be seen, but II is claimed
that the Little Walt Is a hummer.

use his influence with the other men, and
quoted Scripture TO show that the Giant
shortstop was cut out for the particular
work of missionary among ball players.
Dahlen was at fret amused, then angry,
