He wanted to hunt pretty badly and
as he hadn't an iron bolt to replace
the broken one he put in hickory

The gun worked nicely the first two
times; but the third the hickory peg
broke; the barrel flew about ten feet
and the shell struck him squarely in
the forehead, and his appearance
would indicate that the shell exploded.
His face was filled with powder and
his eyes badly injured.

Arrival of Man Who Had a Lot Of
Trouble Getting Home by Thanks
giving Day.

Columbus, Ind, Dec. 5.-After an
absence of nearly year, and unable
to keep in communication with his
family, Kennedy f. Clapp walked into
his home unannounced just as the
members of his family were leaving
for a Thanksgiving visit. Several years
ago Clapp became interested in Hon
duras and invested heavily. Last Feb
ruary he went to Porte Cortez to in
spect his properties, and on starting
to return was detained by government
officers on account of the yellow fever
epidemic.
He was sent with a party of sever
al thousands into the mountains on the
backs of pack mules. For five or six
months he tried in vain to commune
cate with his family and finally snug
gled a letter through the lines. AT last
on Nov. % he was permitted to sail
from Porte COrtez for home. Clamp

POLICY OF THE MINORITY
FOreshadOwed as to Prominent Issues
by Williams Bills.

Washington, Dec. 5. = Williams Of
Mississippi, the leader of the minority
in the house, introduced a number Of
bills and joint resolutions affecting the
tariff and campaign contributions.
These contemplate free trade with the
Philippines; reassembling of the
United States and Canadian joint high
commission with a view to freer trade
relations between the United States
and Canada, and minimum tariff for
the United States. The bill regarding
campaign contributions forbids federal
corporations chartered by the federal
government engaged in interstate COM
merce from asking for such contribu-
lions.
These measures, it is believed, indi-
cate the probable course of the mnori-
ty on the subject Of the tariff revision
and reciprocity and the question Of
contributions in political campaigns.
Williams said that he would not be sat-
listed with revision to the extent in.
dicated, but from his standpoint il was
merely the first step in the right di-
rection and an invitation to the Re-
publican party to declare good inten-
tons. Williams also introduced bill
to authorize the imposition of an ILL
come tax.
Another bill by Williams forbids any
common carrier or transportation agen-
cy Of any Sort including express COM
panies, from transporting spirituous,
yinous or malt liquors into any state
or municipality where the sale of liquor
is forbidden when they are carried G..
Q. D., or in any manner so that the
carrier is charged with the duty of col
lecting for the same or of doing Of any
other act as agent of the seller neces-
sary to complete or perfect the sale.

FOreshadOws the Demo-
cratic Idea.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The first ses.
sion OF the house lasted three hours:
that OF the senate twenty minutes. In
the two chambers there were no f1ow-
ers; they had been prohibited as a
nuisance, the desks heretofore heing
piled SO high with blooms that the mem
DerS could not be seen. The only color
scheme given to the chambers was
that of the galleries, where hundreds
OF handsomely gOwned women gave a
splendor to the event that made it the
lightning Of the congressional social
season. When Cannon was nominated.
when he was elected and when he
took his seat as speaker there was
loud applause. Similar applause came
from the Democratic side when Will
liams was nominated.
First Clash Is Over the Rules.
The first clash-which was a GOOD
humored one-came over the adoption
OF the rules, which were the same
as had formerly controlled the house.
Williams took the lead in opposition.
IF you adopt these rules they will
render you just as helpless as a bird
trying to fly in an asphalt lake. "re-
marked Williams as he appealed 20 the
kids of the majority to vote against
the rules. Williams admitted. in an
sWer to question by Olmsted of Penn
sylvania, that the rules are essentially
tho q IoI II
ic majorities, but said that should not
be the governing principle.
:. Gets One in on kid"
Just before the vote was taken an
appeal was made that Williams have
minute to reply to a question by
wharton, new member from Illinois.
Il would have the gentleman ex-
plain" said Wharton, who is some
what youthful in appearance, what he
means by kids
with that degree of reverence that
the personal appearance Of my interro-
gator eXcites in my mind l should re,
ply that he is the last man in the
house to ask what a kid isl This
rejoinder by Williams was received
with hearty laughter and was the end
Of the attack Oh the rules, which were
adopted-22S to 1876.

earth's green seems brighter and
life is sweeter. The COO of babe
is little thing, meaningless sound
from a vacant mind, but it is the
only sound that all nations heed:
the one clear language all races
know. A mothers love is a little
thing-too soon, alas! forgot; but it
typifies to blind humankind the
love and trust and hope divine that
bear with calm, sweet patience the
willful wrongs in these lives of
ours. "A passing smile is a little
thing-lost in a world of toll and
care; and yet the soul with gloom
oppressed and the life grown
wearied with burdens hard. will
happier be IN the afterglow of a
smile that is warmly kind. A
kindly work is a little thino-a
breath that goes aud a sound that
dies. But the heart that gives and
the heart that hears may know that

the wild birds song and the coo of
babes in what men call the celestial
choir.
