A PERIOD OF ORAToRY.-Hon. John
E. Roche of Scranton, was a member
Of the legislature during the first Pat
tison administration, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger. He used to tell good
story about how a pretentious orator
was squelched.
Two young lawyers from adjoining
districts had been trying during an
entire session to make regulations as
orators. When the apportionment bill
was taken up one Of them spoke for
three hours against the bill. and when
he had concluded his harangue the
other young man took the floor for
another lengthy ebullition in favor OF
the measure. In his peroration he said
he was sorry to find his brother on
the wrong side, for there was every
reason why they should agree.
I'VE were raised together, we stud
led together, we played together, we
were born the same year-yes even
the same day."
did understand you to say that
you were born on the same day." in
terrogated a member from Philadel-
phia.
"Yes," came the prompt reply.
ION the very same day."
Yes, sir"
Then it must have been a very
windy day."

YOU
AR E
JUDGED

BY your stationery. The wholesale
houses from whom you buy your goods
form their opinion-(unconsciously
perhaps)-of you and your business
by your stationery. Cheap, poorly
printed, shoddy looking stationery al
ways leaves a bad impression on the
man who receives 1t. You Judge the
other fellow-(unconsciously perhaps)
by his stationery. II 1t Is neat, plain
and we'll printed on good stock this
fact impresses itself on your mind.
Now, doesn't 1t?
II we print your stationery 1t will
be neat, attractive and good because
we make a specially Of doing the good
kind.
We do good work because we don't
want to do poor work. We don't want
to do poor work because poor work Is
unsatisfactory to us and to the buyer.
We do good work because all sf
our printers are specialists, and know
how.
We use good stock because 1t Is al
ways more satisfying to the buyer,
even though the first cost is a little
moro.
We charge more for given quantity
of stationery than some printers, but
then we make up the difference in cost
to the customer by giving him better
work and better stock for his money.
We don't think we make any more
real profit on our work than does the
printer who does the chap kind.
We print anything from a Card to
a Law Brief.
Can we have your next order for
stationery?
Thank you.

A STORY OF Tom MARsHALL.-Tom
Marshall, Kentucky's famous wit, at
tended a phrenologist's lecture one
night. Marshall had been drinking
and when he returned to his hotel af-
ter the lecture he drank more. The
drink gave him belief in his phrenolo-
gical powers, and he declared that he
could read" heads as we'll as the lee
ture. So it was decided to test his
skill upon some of the guests of the
hotel. Both ladies and gentlemen as
sembled in the parlor, and Marshall,
who knew most of them, furnished an
hours uproarious fun by hitting off
their failings. When he had finished
an empty headed dandy whose head
had not been examined loudly and
pompously called attention to the fact
that Marshall had neglected him. i
beg our pardon, sir" said Marshall,
but you must really excuse me. /

candlelight. ht."-Argonaut.

MERIT EvHRYwHERE.-Frede Law
Olmstead, who holds the chair OF
landscape architecture at Harvard
visited Philadelphia recently to make
an address on the subject Of city
parks, says the San Antonio Express.
During his visit Mr.. Olmstead dined
at Walnut street club, and he cited
during dinner, certain elevated tract
on the Biltmore estate, Of which he is
landscape gardener.
THAT tract" he said would be
beautiful for some purposes, hideous
for others. Everything is like that
good for some things, bad for some
things. Thus, If we use our minds
we can utilize nearly everything-can
put nearly everything to some good
use.
"'All kinds has their merits as an
old Georgia colored man once said.

ADVICE TO THE DoCToR.-The late
L. Clark Davis. the noted journalist,
Of Philadelphia, was an admirable an
gler, and almost as good a shot, says
the Kansas City Journal.
Mr.. Davis and a prominent Phila-
delphia physician went to New Eng
land one autumn to shoot over the
preserves of a very rich Bostonian.
The editor had good luck with the
birds, but the doctor was unable to
make a decent shot
The keeper was a Scot and the poor
craftsmanship Of the physician an
gered him. At every miss he would
snort and grunt.
"Yere doin' purify" he would say,
Man, ye're doin' purify"
Indeed. am doing poorly" cried
the physician, after an ineXcusable
miss. Whats the matter with the
birds? I can't kill one of them"
Write 'em a prescription, doctor,
said the keeper.

No JIU-JITsU AT WEST PoINT.-Con-
gress expressed its lack Of faith in
jiu- jitsu by striking out in conference
on the military academy appropriation
bill a provision for an annual salary
for an instructor to teach that Japan
ese art to the cadets.
The original item appropriated $4,-
500 for instructors in fencing, broad
sword and jiu-jitsu." The provision
was cut down to $4,000, providing for
only two instructors. The manner in
which some of the West Point football
squad threw a jiu-jitsu instructor re-
Gently was discussed by the commit
tee and seemed to have considerable
effect. One of the conferees told the
story of the instructor easily throw
ing some of the cadets by his skill, but
added that the result of his encounter
with a member of the football squad
had put him in the hospital with a
broken shoulder. The conferees
promptly cut out the appropriation.

In message to this city yes terday Smith said that he would for ward the cash at once. He said that any date within two weeks would be satisfactory to him.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 23-Captain Hurley of the Harvard eleven will not be able to play against Yale next Sat urday. This announcement was made by Coach Reid at mass meeting of Harvard undergraduates last night. Captain Hurley, Aas Reid explained. will not be able to play on account of torn muscle in his thigh, one of those injuries known as ''sprinter's break" It happened at the opening of the season. After resting it for q while Hurley again began to work and he again injured it the first time he went into scrimmage. In a scrimmage recently he again injured it, this time so seriously that the doc tors In charge of, the squad have de cided that he cannot play on Satur- day. Hurley received a bang on the head the same day his leg was in jured.

 All the Money.


 All the Money.
 Fairfield Sturmann, who pitched a deer camp near Rocky pond last week preparatory to the opening of the sea son. shot wild goose few days ago under peculiar circumstances. The fact was witnessed by a townsman who was in camp with him, and he youches for the story, says an exchange
 When Mir Sturmann. who comes from Boston, went into camp he took a shotgun with him as well as a T1fie, thinking that he might get some grouse shooting. He had fairly good luck In this line. and one morning just as be started out he saw flock of wild geese soaring about over the pond He watched them and when he saw them drop into the water close to a flock of black ducks he was sorry, be- cause he had no heavy shot.
 But Townsend. the townsman, who was camping with Sturmann, suggest ed that he draw some old fashioned iron nails out of the slabs of the cabin in which they were living and load his shells with them. This was better than nothing. and the men loaded up two shells with nails about three inch es long As they stuck out beyond the end of the paper cartridges, dry grass was packed about them in place of the usual wad.
 Armed with one of these shells in each barrel of the shotgun. Sturmann and Townsend placed some boughs in the boat and drifted down the pond toward the ducks and geese. They lay fin the bottom of the boat, so as not to attract attention. and when they thought they were in range peeked our.
 They were almost upon the feeding birds, and before Sturmann could fire both fiocks rose and mingled in a sim gle cloud of feathers. They were per haps forty feet above the water and three rods off when Sturmann shot both barrels simultaneously and nearly upset the boat Instantly a duck and goose dropped to the pond. The duck was dead. but the goose was only wounded and made desperate effort to rise.
 Townsend seized the oars and was making for the birds when the goose got into the air. and with him went the dead duck. He tried desperately to reach the rest of the flock. but had reached a height of twenty feet when he settled slowly. Tn another minute the men had him AS they pulled him honking into the boat to wiring his neck they were astOnished to discover that he was firmly nailed to the duck. One of the nails had peDetrated the ducks neck and imbedded itself in the breast of the goose
 The men were stiI exciaiming when they heard c squawking directly over head and saw a duck sfame high in the afr He wae coming down head first. and looked Ike a comet He struck the water close to the boat and when he arose was dead.

MORE ABOUT RECEIPTS.

The total receipts of the season for the University of Wisconsin football team were, it is estimated, about S32, 900, leaving $20,O0O profit. This is a very nice nest egg, but is less than the big eastern university teams will clear. Harvard and Yale in par ticular. Yale took in about $25,OO from the Princeton game alone and will get more than that as her share of the Harvard game. Then the Brown and Columbia games will bring In a tidy bit. Harvard. with the fat pro ceeds of the Yale, Pennsylvania, Dart mouth and Indian games, probably will take in more money than any other team. Four of Harvards games this fall will have been attended by over 100000 persons. But the most in- teresting thing in connection with Wisconsin's football finances is the statement that Coach Phil King re- ceiyed salary of $3,250 for his sev- enty-two days work and $250 expen- ses. He was paid at the rate of $56.45 a day which is at a rate of over $20,OOO a year. Football Knowledge comes high sometimes but the gate receipts can afford 1t.
