satisfactory. 1t was impossible to
hear the clerks a short while after
they began to read. They would pitch
their voices in a key SO high that col
lapse vocally was inevitable. The
voices would soon become husky and
the men could not be heaxd At all.
Another man would be pressed into
service with the same result.
"On account Of these difficulties It
required the services of number OF
men to get the platforms and resclu-
tions before the conventions. And at
that the reading was Of moss Unsat-
isfactory nature, for even the dele
gates who were required to vote on
the various propositions involved
could not hear and did ACT know
what they were voting for. Good read
ing clerks are indeed rare and it
would seem that young men with am
bition might find it profitable TO equip
themselves along this line, where they
are endowed with voices capable Of

The ride back to Whitehall after

was an intoxicating one. Londoners
had at last a ruler who was a SUI

to their shops, and buy and sell IN

to their rights and their welfare. His
very appearance was satisfying; he
was not a young man headstrong and
reckless, but a Protector who had
been tried on the battlefield and in
the Council Chamber and never found
wanting.

Benjamin Disraell, OF Beechey Park,
Carlow, rich money-lender and no
tary Of Dublin, who died in 1914. There
is also to-day, in Vienna, a family
named Disraeli, but they rather tend
to confirm Lord Beaconsheld's hypoth-
esis, since they have only recently
adopted the name. Even in its most
authentic form Of Israeli the name
was not unprecedented in the 5th cen
tury, for it had been borne with con-
siderable distinction by Jews 500
years before, and it was still current
at the time of the Spanish exodus"
Mr.. Wolf traces the obscure origin
of the family from the time when a
certain Benjamin D'Israeli was born
at Certo, Ferrara, the family having
probably come from the Levant. This
Benjamin DIsraeli emigrated to Eng
land in his 9Th year, and was the an
cestor of Lord Beaconsfield. Mr..
Wolf mentions incidentally the inter-
esting fact that Mr.. Pinero is a de-
scendant of collateral branch Of the

The popular discomfort with the
rapid and radical reforms Ct the
saints Parliament was not confined
to the Royalists; the nation. without

A sPINsTER SAYS THAT

The evil men do is soon forgotten
by themselves.
A little brief authority puffs a small
man up to the limit
Some men are pleasant to talk to.
but disagreeable to listen to.
A man isn't necessarily in the swim
because he drinks like ash.
Often a man can best make his
presence felt by his absence.
The luck Of the fool is proverbial,
but you never hear lucky man speak
Of It.
The longer the average man follows
the races the farther they get ahead
Of him.
Women have a limited amount of
conceit, but men have it in unlimited
quantities.
To err is human--or at least that is
what man always says after making
mistake.
Sometimes a man loses a lot Of
money through the hole at the top Of
his pocket.
The man who has nothing to say
isn't always aware of it until after he
has tried to say it.
1t is easier for an old bachelor to
say that he is perfectly happy than
1t IS for him to prove it.
1t might be well for the conceited
man to remember that the smallest
onion is stronger than the largest
pumpkin.
Probably nothing gives a mans self
esteem such jolt as the discovery
that some one has succeeded in un'
loading a lead nickel on him.

Corporal James Tanner of New York,
who was elected commander-in-ch chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic by the
national encampment at Denver last week,
was born in Schoharie county, n. Y, in
1914. Soon after the civil war broke out
he enlisted as a private in the Sth New
York regiment. At the second battle of
Bull Run, Tanner, then corporal, was
so badly wounded by a shell that 1t was
necessary to amputate both his legs. In
1864 he was appointed to a clerkship In
the war department. A few years later
he became deputy collector in the New
York customs house, later was for sew
eral terms collector of taxes for Brook
Ign, and has held other public positions,
the chief of which was the United States
pension commissionership, to which he
was appointed by President Harrison. He
resigned from this and took up the prac-
tice of law in Washington. He has al
ways been prominent in the G. A. r., and
has been department commander in New

Capt J. c. Clancy Of New Mexico and the
Wool Industry

Captain ]. G. Clancy, the successful
sheep-raiser who departed for his Puerto
de Luna ranch and range this morning,
said to an optic reporter that the wool
industry was now at its best, the condi-
tions not having been so favorable since
1880, as instance the fact that during
the Cleveland regime under the Wilson
tariff law about the same quantity of wool
for which he received $40, 900 this season
brought him only $500. besides having
sold lambs to the amount of $1,000, and
droves of ewes which netted him hand
somely. Then, besides the good price of
wool, the lambing season was highly sue
cessful throughout.
Captain Clancy was at one time an
active politician, but with his advance
ing years and his adherence of some
matters political, he contents himself with
going to the polls and voting the straight
Republican ticket from top to bottom,
possibly with the exception OF a minor
local office or two.
Some years ago he was a member OF
the constitutional convention, where his
opinions were weighty and respected but
his best efforts for the territory and its
he was a member of the lower house of
the territorial Legislature. 1t was there
that he made his presence and influence
felt and proved himself equal to every
emergency that arose. 1t is a fact gem
orally known and appreciated that some
good, wholesome laws that grace the
statute books of New Mexico were pass
ed largely through the instrumentality
of the subject Of this sketch and through
his persistent individual efforts several
obnoxious and hurtful bills were either
buried in the committee room or killed
on the floor of the house.-[Las Vegas

egates 10 n national convention. they
without doubt would be instructed for

not to change than 1t is to change"
Il Waterbury Record.
In the name OF common sense, what
do the contemporaries think OF Vermont
crs, anyway? DO they think we are alb
origines whose friendship and war hatch
cts are to be bought with a few whiffs Of
SNAKE and the present of n few tawdry
trinkets. beads. looking glasses. and red
calico? Do they think any ambitious man
can be whisked through this state on
special train. wave his hat gracefully
from the rear platform OF a private car,
shake hands with wearisome cordially
with a few jostling crowds Of idly curious
people, and then walk of with the state
in his pocket?
DO they suppose that Nermonters never
do any thinking for themselves. that there
are no thoughtful men here. that we fol-
low OF the last man in sight like little
yellow dog under a noisy ice wagon?
How much OF Vermont did Mr.. Fair
banks see? How many Vermonters saw
him? How many of them any more than
just saw him, and that's all? What hap
pened during his brief visit here to bring
to the firesides of the thousands OF intel
ligent homes in this state any striking
conviction that he is the man for presi-
dent in 1905? What was said or done by
Mr.. Fairbanks here in those few fleeing
hours that in any wise changed or affect
ed the day by day, year by year record
he is making in public life? Which do
you suppose sober minded men OF YER
mont will judge by, his candidating smile
and handshake on a summers outing or
his record i'm the public service and
his qualifications as man and statesman?

sense.
