Congressman Morrell, Of Philadel-
phia, in a discussion Of the Delaware
river appropriations, mentioned a
mean man.
There are many mean men," he
said, but this man surely was the
meanest of them all Besides being
mean he was also rich.
ITO a poor young couple living near
him a son was born and they decided
to name their son after the mean man,
and to ask him to stand as its god
father.
"He consented. He was flattered.
"Thereupon the JOY of this poor
young couple was great. They won
dered what gift the rich godfather
would give to his little godson. Per
haps a house and lot? Perhaps half
dozen government bonds? Perhaps a
herd Of cattle?"
Senator Morrell paused and smiled.

"the mean man sent the youngster?
He sent it, sir, cup that one of his
Cochin China hens had won at poul-
try show"

The Ignorant Landsman.

Capt. Kaempf, of the Deutschland

passengers with sea stories.

that landsmen are so ignorant of the

knowing the land we'll enough to avoid
it, that seamen keep their ships afioat
But landsmen's ignorance Of the

Not 4 Lover of Omar Khava,.

It had been suggested that the
Omar Khayam society of London
would do well to offer the loaf of bread
and flask of wine to Sir Edward Nor
timer Durand, British minister to the
United States, who is now on visit
to his native land. The idea fell into
disfavor when memory revived an ex-
perience Sir Edward had while min
lister to Persia, the home of Omar.
Certain admirers of the ancient poet
wished to repair his tomb in fitting
fashion and induced the British minis
ter to interview the shah on the sub
ject: mot a cent" said, in effect, his
most puissant majesty. IF Omar
Khayan is SO dear to them let them
erect memorial themselves. We
have many better poets in Persia"

Tanned Youngsters Exuberanoe.

The Duke of Argyll was once visiting
a school at Ascot and noticed small
boy running as hard as he could around
the cricket ground. When he had been
round It three times and stopped the
duke asked the headmaster why he
was running alone in that extraordi-
nary way. "Oh," said the master,
that's Lord Randolph Churchil's son.
When he talks too much we make him
go three times round" The truth was
that Winston Churchill had just been
indulging in chatter and had just been
ent round the field to silence him.

sAREwDNEss or J. P. MORGAN.
Sent Valuable Present In Way to
Escape Attention.


George G. Thomas, one Of the lead
ing figures in the Philadelphia house
Of the Morgans, tells story which
illustrates the shrewdness Of T. P.
Morgan. Mr.. Thomas daughter was
married not long ago and day or so
before the ceremony there came to
her fathers office a pasteboard box
wrapped in coarse brown paper, brok-
en- at two Of the corners, tied merely
with twine, but distinguished among
its fellows by the address, which was
In Mr.. Morgan's own bold handwrit-
ing. Investigation brought to light
that it carried pearl necklace for
the bride-to-be worth anywhere from
$1,000 to $4,000. The sender had
properly thought that the unnoticed
was, after all, safer in transit than
the parcel advertised as valuable by
registry and wax seals.

At eventide ! shade my eyes
And peer into the west,
Where, winding down the shining plain,
And round each shaded crest,
The high road goes the sunset way,
Upon the endless quest.
Full many traveller have seen

Go down the valley from the door
And swiftly vanish there.
Some have sped upon their path
And lightened some Of care.
One day too shall take my stan
And down the valley go,
For one who went was passing fair,
And Waits for me- know,
And l shall find hero, my soull
Beyond the sunset glow.

ATE EMDENcE AGAINST htM
Prisoner stops Trial BY Chewing und
Swallowing a Forged Check.


Swallowing a Forged Check.
The Kings county court was thrown
into disorder and dismay, says a Seat
tie special to the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, when the prisoner at the bar.
H. r. McTavish, ate all the evidence
in the case on trial. McTavish was
being tried on charge Of forging a
SIS check. The check lay on the trial
table. marked exhibit A." McTavish
sat beside his counsel, who was en-
gagged In cross-examining a witness
for the prosecution.
The case was going against Nc
lavish when his eye fell on the check,
which was about to be introduced in
evidence. Like a half-starved man
and with a look of hunger in his eye,
the prisoner pounced upon exhibit A.
and chewed 1t to pulp.
With soulful satisfaction he gulped
it down. The prosecution was in con-
sternation, for its main piece Of evil
dence was gone, and demanded that
stomach pump be used forthwith.
While the lawyers argued pro and con,
the prisoner calmly picked his teeth
with a whitfield match, plainly the
master Of the situation. The defense
argued that the ball of paper in the
defendants stomach could in no wise
be construed as documentary evi-
dence, and that dismissal was prop
er.
The case of the state of Washing
ton against H. R. McTavish is now in
statu quo pending the untangling of
the legal question involved from the
defendants impromptu luncheon.

Fine Vein Of Humor Developed by
Ex-senator Chandler.

Since his retirement from the Unit
ed States senate William S. Chandler
of New Hampshire has devoted part
of his spare time in having fun with
former colleagues and other distin-
guished men. Recently he wrote iden-
tical letters to Vice President Fair
banks, Secretary Shaw and Senator
Foraker, piedging support to each Of
these presidential aspirants and tell
ing each that he had written the same
letter to the other two. Secretary
Shaw and Senator Foraker sent hui
morous replies, but the vice president
apparently overlooked the fun of the
situation, for his answer was stately
in its grateful tone. Mr. Chandler
also called at the white house and as
sured the president of his support in
case the Democrats should nominate
him in 1908.
