seem remarkable to Americans that he
did not always get his jokes right end

Mrs. Edward Burne-JoneS tells of the
ease with which he reversed them.
They had all been asking conun-
drums.
Who killed his brother Cain?" asked
Burne-Jones.

Later in the day he came in laugh

Il trapped the parson. by Jove!" he
exclaimed. II asked him, Who killed

Cain he said at once.

that. Every one does l came away
and left him puzzled enough, and

matter was"

PHIIANDER AND THE OFFICE Boy
Mr.. Knox, at present a senator from
Pennsylvania, was formerly engaged
in the practice of law in Pittsburg.
One day, says a friend, Mr.. Knox
was much put out to find on his arri-
val at his office that everything was
topsy turvy and that the temperature
of his rooms was much too low for
comfort. Summoning his office boy,
a lad but recently entered in his
employ, the lawyer asked who had
raised every window in the place on
such a cold morning.
Mr.. Muldoon. SIR" was the an
swer.
Who is Mr.. Muldoon?" asked the
attorney.
1.-The janitor. sir"
And who is Mr. Reilly?"
He's the man that cleans the
rooms"
Mr.. Knox looked sternly at the boy
and said. See, here Richard, we
call men by their first names here
We don't mister them in this office
Do you understand"
"Yes, SIR" And the boy retired.
In a few minutes he reappeared and
in a shrill piping voice announced:
There's a gentleman that wants to
see you, Philander."

his salary by the practice of law, said
the other day according to the Boston
Post:
"A minister to do good work, must
have enough money to maintain good
position. He must not be obliged to
resort to economies that are often lu-
dicrous and discouraging. He must
hold his head up.
Mr. Mayall laughed.
ITO practice economy you know Is
often humiliating, often ridiculous, ne
said. 'I know Of a poor and economi-
cal young man who, about to marry,

his mother and himself.
"An sat down to the table on the
appointed day, but as he was about to
begin the carving, the young man
pointed sternly to a stale crust OF
bread, laid on a plate with other debris
for consignment to the garbage pail.
He had, you must understand. put the
bread there himself to point a moral

Mother, mother said he, a good
slice of bread? Going to throw out

on soaring up the quarry. AS the
long line moves ahead, soon some
where along it a gray head bobs up,
and Mr.. Jack is off with his peculiar
hop, skip and jump. On the instant
/ the two dogs are loosed, and away
they race neck and neck, after bunny.
There is one creature only on the
prairie that con outrun the jackrabbit
among the smaller wild animals
that is the coyote. 1t was Mark
Twain who said that when the aver
age dog chased the coyote, the latter,
after playing along the way awhile,
would suddenly vanish, leaving a
very much astonished dog and long
crack in the atmosphere behind him.
The jackrabbit can come near get

es. Once thoroughly frightened. he
makes great flying leaps, propelled In
| to the air by his long, muscular hind
legs, until his course resembles moth
ing so much as the flight OF pra-
rie chicken. The ears. which when ne
was lying on the ground extended
nearly the whole length Of his long,
| gray, gaunt back, are erect, and seem
| like wings as he lifts them.
The average country dog never tries
| to catch a jackrabbit but once. After
that he simply looks tired and goes
home. With a greyhound 1t is diff
ferent.
The hounds leaps are nearly as
long as the rabbits. and the advan-
tage Is altogether with the larger an
imal. Still the jack leads his follower
pretty race, and the way they hur-
ry over the plain, followed by the
Judges and watched by hundreds of
eager eyes. Is worth seeing.
The jackrabbit knows but one line
of tactics-dodging. He does not even
too long in the course, and frequently
do this intelligently, for he puts 1t off

of it to make it count.
After sixty to eighty rods of run

begins to tell. The dogs are not work.
ing hard, but are taking 1t scientifi-
cally as If their muscles moved by
machinery. The rabbit, on the other
hand is getting worried, as he sees
his pursuers close behind.

MRS. TUCKER APPOINTED

Mrs. Leila v. Tucker has been ap.
pointed postmistress at Camp Parole,
vice Elizabeth Sellman, resigned.
The appointment, while only tempo
Tary, marks change which has been
desired by the residents of that local
ity for some time.
For some time there has been con-
siderable opposition to the recent
postmistress. Elizabeth Sellman, color
ed, it being claimed that the affairs
were not transacted in such a nanner
as to give good service to tile patrons
of the office. A petition was circu-
lated looking for the appointment of
another person until such time as
rural free delivery could be establish
ed.
Elizabeth Sellman, seeing the direc.
tion of the wind. resigned, her resig-
nation to take effect as soon as her
successor could be appointed Mrs.
Tucker was the most logical candi-
date for the position and she was
given the appointment, as it will take
some little time for the rural free de.
livery route to be established. Off
cials of the postoffice department are
now at work on the route and it is ex.
pected that in the next few weeks the
route will be established.

Court Martial.

Kearsarge, will be taken back to that
vessel soon. He is now on board the
Hancock at the Brooklyn navy yard.
He Will be detained on the Kearsarge
and tried there.
Officials of the Navy Department are
inclined to think that Arrowood is a
notoriety seeker, and that his father
also is, judging by the character of
the letters received from both at the
Department. Arrowood wrote several
weeks ago telling the Department that
he had left for good His temerity in
communicating with the Department
when he knew that he was wanted
was surprising.
Arrowood said in the letter that
mail to him could be addressed to his
home in North Carolina. His father
was communicated with and his reply
had been supplemented by one or two
other letters. Arrowood, Senior, ex-
pressed the opinion that the navy is
not the place for q young man.

TIE OLDEST LEGISLATOR.
special Dispatch to Evening Capital

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 1S-The Hon.
David Wark, a member of the Cana
dian senate now in session, will OBJ
serve his one hundred and first birth
day tomorrow. Senator Wark is un-
doubtedly the oldest legislator in the
world. For over half a century he
has been prominent in Canadian poll
tics. He was appointed senator
when the senate was formed on the
confederation of the provinces in 1857,
but for over twenty years previously
he was a conspicuous figure in the pol
itics of New Brunswick He intro
duced legislation into the New Bruins
wick house which led to the provinces
exchanging their natural products
free of duty--legislstio tion which had q
direct bearing on the confederation of
the provinces twenty years later. Sem
ator Wark is not New Brunswicker
by birth, but he has passed most of his
life in that province. He was born
near Londonderry, Ireland, in 1904.
Shortly after that event his parents
emigrated to Canada. A little bowed
down and q trifle feeble, Senator Wark
is still remarkably we'll preserved con-
sidering his years. and his speeches in
the senate are as lucid and convincing
as those of a man of 90 and younger.
