Prof. D. P. Croop of the University

five inches and the chest girth from

pounds of pork.
HE cut and weighed this great

The Astute Lion.

John Burroughs, the naturalist, was
laughing about story, widely pub
lished not long since, of wild duck
that got salt water nussel caught
on its tongue and had intelligence
enough to fly from the salt to the
fresh water, where it dipped the mus
sci, sickening it through osmossis,
and thus causing il to loosen its firm
grip, says the New York Tribune
Il believe that story Of the duck
that understood the theory Of osgnos-
SIS, implicitly as I believe the story
OF the crippled lion and the young
lieutenant.
'Perhaps you have heard this story?
No2 Well then:
"A young lieutenant, during an
African campaign, came one day upon
a badly crippled lion. The great
brute imped over the tawny sand
on three paws, holding its fourth paw
in the air. And every now and then,
with a kind of groan, it would pause
and lick the injured paw.
"When the lion saw. the young
lieutenant, it came slowly towards
him. He stood his ground, rifle in
hand. But the beast meant no harm.
1t drew close to him: it rubbed against
him with soft. feline purrs, it exte d.
ed its hurt paw. -
THE lieutenant examined the law,
and found that there was large
thorn in it. He extracted the thorn,
the lion roaring with pain, and he
bound up the wound with his hand
kerchief Then, with every manifes-
tation of relief and gratitude the ami
NAL withdrew.
"But it remembered it's benefactor.
It rewarded the young man.
This lion ran over the regiments
list of officers, and ate all who were
the lieutenant's superiors IN rank.
Thus, in a few weeks. the young man.
thanks to the astute animal became
colonel"

William Ziegler's Alert Wit.

An Arctic explorer was talking Of
the late William Ziegler, whose great
wealth went in the past to fit out so
many expeditions of discovery.
"He was man of the alertest wit"
the explorer said. "I never saw his
equal in the hitting of a persons
character with an opposite story.
Once, I remember, he was describing
a flour manufacturer of loose business
morals.
"Mr. Zeigler said this manufacturer
was like certain grocer who called
his clerk up before him one day and
said:
That lady that just went OFT
didn't ! hear her ask you for fresh
laid eggs?"
Yes the clerk answered.
And you said we hadn't any?'
Yes, sir; that is correct.'
The grocer, purple with rage
yelled:
Didn't you see me lay those eggs
myself on the counter not ten minutes
ago. You are discharged, you men,
dacious scoundrel, and see that you
don't look to me for reference

A pigeon flying enthusiast recently
related the following amusing expert
ence: One morning he found a
strange bird in his cot The owner
evidently belonged to the associa-
ton, for there was a number ring on
the birds leg.
The finder at once wrote off to
the general secretary acquainting him
with the facts and quoting the num-
Der on the ring: BY referring to his
books the secretary soon found the
name and address Of the owner, who
was at once made aware of the where
abouts of his bird.
A day or two later the finder re-
ceived the following communication
from the owner:
Sir understand you have a hon.
ing pigeon Of mine. Liberate him at
once How dare you keep my bird?

AN AMBITIOUS BOOTBLACK.
Has Shined Shoes of American Not
ables and is Now Touring Europe.
Charleston Post

Frisco Kid is the nickname oi
Fred Raiks, a boorblack from San
Francisco. who has arrived at Liver
pool on his way to London to shine
King Edwards boots. Raiks makes
a speciality OF polishing the boots and
the shoes OF celebrities and he has
attained the height OF his ambition
so far as America is concerned. by
polishing the shoes OF President
Roosevelt. Raiks left San Francisco
with only fifteen cents in his pocket,
and won his way along the American
railways by 'Sbluffing" conductors and
E'jollying" drivers.
He polished so many Of the boots
and shoes of people between San
Francisco and New York that he was
able to pay his steerage fare to Liver
pool. Among his customers were
governors of states, sheriifs and may
ors. He did not travel uninterrupt-
edly, but left the train at each large
center of population, seeking out the
local notabilitiesc, and rarely was he
refused permission to b. * their
boots. His success is attested by
book full of autographs.
He intends to follow the same plan
in England. He will work mis- way
from town to town until he reaches
London, and then he will seek an
audience OF the King at Buckingham
Palace and offer to shine his shoes.
His ambition does not stop here, how
ever. He proposes to visit the con-
tlnent and black the boots OF the
German emperor and the Gar. Full
OF self-confldence as he is, he con-
fesses to some trepidation at an in
tervlew with the Kaiser.
His blacking boxes are made of
oal:, and are gaily decorated with he
coins and b, iges of the various na-
tons. These coins and badges are
fastened in their position with brass
headed nails.

The Primary Pledge--Organize Now.


to all who are willing that the ma
jority shall govern in party manage
ment and in the nation. 1t does not
mean that those who exert themselves
to secure good platform will be
bound to support a bad platform
that is u question which each must de-
termine for himself-but it does mean
that the democratic platform shall
give voice to the prevailing sentiment
Of the democratic party, and that the
party shall take the country into its
confidence. The pledge proposed is a
primary pledge-becaus the people
speak at the primaries. The national
convention is attended by delegates,
and each delegate represents tens of
thousands Of democrats. The state
convention is also attended by dele
gates and these represent thousands
OF democrats. The county cOnven-
tions are, as a rule, attended by dele
gates, and these in turn represent hun
drcds Of democrats. At the primary
the voters speak for themselves: there
democracy has its citadel.
"When the work of organization Is
sufficiently advanced, a time can be
set for the meeting of the members in
their various localities. The members
of this organization, while pledged to
but one thing namely, attendance
upon the primaries-are urged to CO.
operate among themselves for the sup

ton for some weeks and is herewith

question upon which the voters Of the
party desire to speak.

writing Of a platform in advance of

the paramount Importance of any one

democratic voters to control the policy

A Newspaper is like a man
because generally it reflects
some mau-aud it as man
should be judged on a whole.
No man lives perfect life; no
editor prints perfect paper.
If an editor is honest he is
bound to offend some one every
day of his life. IF he doesn't
offend some one the editor is
nambly-pambly and aabby. The
same is true of the average man.
A newspaper is bound to make
mistakes, in getting news it
must necessarily take hearsay.
But if in the long run and in
main, week after week and year
after year, paper stands for
decencY, for honesl thinking and
clean living, if it speaks for
those who are trying to do good
and condemns sneaks and cheats,
that is a good paper Ewing

The meanest individual in the
world is the liar. There are
thieves who will not lie; grafters
who. have a sense of honor;
sneaks who are loyal to their
home, and scoundrels who have
bit Of good about them. But
the man or woman who is a
common liar will commit any
crime in the calendar if only
the stakes are sufficiently nigh.
The dirty-mouth, slanderous
liars are invariably towards
and the fear of the law keeps
them from becoming criminals.
The mangiest, sheep.killing
egg-sucking flea bitten cur that
sinks through the alleys of
Centralia in the night time, is
positively respectable beside
the flannel mouth liars of the
burg, whose chief business is to
assassinate character and make
all the trouble in the world pos.
