OLD.IIME ELECTIONEERING.
~ONNN~N~NN~

The candidates trick of kissing the babies to gain votes is not a new thing. The determined candidate of the eighteenth century was as deeply interested in all members of voters family as he is to-day. In William Cowper's Letters may be found a description of the way things were done more than hundred years ago.
 We were sitting yesterday at dinner the two ladies and myself very con- posedly and without the least appre- hension of any such intrusion in our snug parlor one lady knitting, another netting, and the gentleman winding worsted. Suddenly, to our unspeakabe surprise. a mob appeared before the window. A smart tap was heard at the door, the boys halloed, and the maid announced MT. Grenville Candi- dates are creatures not very suscepti- ble affront, and would rather. SUD- pose, climb in at the window than be absolutely excluded.
 In a minute the yard, the kitchen and the parlor were filled. MT. Gren- vile, advancing toward me, shook me by the hand with degree of cordial ity that was extremely seducing.
 As soon as he and as many more as could find chairs were seated, he be- gan to open the intent of his visit. told him 1 had no vote, for which he readily gave me credit. I assured him had no influence, which he was not equally inclined to believe.
 Thus ended the conference. Mr. Grenville squeezed my hand again, kissed the ladies, and withdrew. He kissed likewise the maid in the kitch. en, and seemed, upon the whole, most loving, kissing, kind-hearted gen. tleman.

Dog with Human Face.

A strange animal roaming the hills in the vicinity of Wildhorse, a station on the Colorado Midland Railway, two miles west of this city, says Buena Vista, Colo, special to the Denver Times has been seen num- Der of times by various people and has been described differently by each one.
 The most startling Of all, however, was the experience of a prominent ranchwoman last evening. She was driving slowly along the road across the Arkansas River, from where the animal has its lair, when her horse suddenly shied, almost throwing her from the rig. She was mortified to see, few feet ahead of her and in the middle of the road, the monstrosity.
 It was about the size and build of a ful-grown greyhound and of drab color, its glistening sides being GOV cred with black spots as large as sill yer dollars. It had long, smooth tail and the woman declares it had an almost human face, and bristling red mustache ornamented the proper place upon its physiognomy. The eyes were close together and deep set and its ears stood erect and were very pointed. After moment it uttered a piteous cry and slunN away through the brush, turning at the top of the hill for last look. It stood erect on its hind feet, punctured the rarefed atmosphere with sounds that rever- berated among the crags and con- pelled a pace on the part of the usual ly staid horse that was a revelation to the driver. A number of hunting parties have tried in vain to kill this animal and efforts are now being made to capture it alive.

Bride Clings to Veil.

Artists say that only on rare occa- sions will bride take her veil from her head and lay it aside when she is photographed. They assert that prob ably once in hundred times will such thing happen, for they want the veil to show up prominently in the photo graph.
 H. w. Mills, of Wheaton, says a bride and groom came into his studio the other day, and he was surprised to see the bride remove her veil and, with the flowers she carried, arrange it on a table. Then she drew the table close beside her and told the artist she was ready.
 Nothing will tempt bride to part with veil that she has once had pho tographed as a part of her wedding dress. In Du Page County singular custom regarding the preservation of the veil prevails. A large, box like frame is constructed and cabinet DOT trait is placed in the center of the background. Then the veil is neatly arranged around the picture, and the outer edge of the frame is entwined with artificial flowers to represent the ones that the bride held or wore when she was married.
 Such frames adorn hundreds of walls in Du Page County farms and other homes. A wedding frame will occupy one part of the wall, and another frame will hold the silver name plate that has been taken from the coffin of some member of the family of either the groom or bride.-Chicago Trib me.

HIS NOVEL SINKER.
Asafetida, However, as a Lure for Fish
 la Rrouounced at, llld Id


 Is Pronounced an Old Idea.
 Be these the biggest mussels ye hev," he asked the fish marketman. "Yes, we don't have any call for larger ones," was the reply
 Well, give me four quarts. They're mighty small though" said the an- cient fisherman fretfully. "Goin fish in down to Rocky Point tomorrow mornin'. He reached into the depths of his pocket and drew forth chunk of lead "See anything peculiar about that?" he asked, sticking it into the hands of customer who was watch ing proceedings.
 The recipient looked the metal over and remarked that he failed to per ceive that it was different from any other tautog sinker, but the fish dealer, more experienced in the ways of pis- catorialists, put the lead to his nose and smelled of it.
 "Thats it, that's it," said the old man gleefully. Do you know what makes it smell so?"
 "Asafetida," hazarded the innocent bystander recollecting that he had heard old trout fishermen up in the Green Mountains many, many years ago say that the nauseous compound he named was good lure for trout
 "Just so, as'fedity," repeated the an- cient fisherman. i've invented that sinker and got it covered tight by pat ents, too, and I'll warrant you can catch tautog if you use it. They can't resist the smell. Ye can catch tautog without bait provided you use that sinker when the other fellows sitting around you can't catch any with bait The fish can't resist as'fedity. They nose around that sinker, and when you pull up your gang of hooks you hook them, mabbe two, mebbe only one. Yes, sir, I'll catch some fish at Rocky tomorrow" and chuckling over his shrewdness, he went out with his four quarts of mussels.
 Maybe he will catch some and maybe he won't" said the fish dealer, after the old man had left, ''but if he does 1t won't be the asafetida. I heard of that stuff for fish forty years ago, and successful fishermen are still using ."-Providence Journal.

WORLD FAMOUS AS AS CIENTisr
Alexander Agassiz q Naturalist, Capi-
 tnlist and Philanthropist.

anu
 Alexander Agassiz, whose discovery of the great ocean desert makes q story of surpassing interest, looms big in the scientific world. He is a nat uralst, capitalist and philanthropist. Born at Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1885, he is the only son of the late Louis Agassiz, the great naturalist and teacher
 Alexander graduated at Harvard in 1S05. Four years later he served with the United States coast survey in Cal ifornia. From 1860 to 1865 he was as- sistant in the museum of comparative zoology at Harvard.
 Then he became interested in the mining of coal and copper-especially copper. He was chiefly responsible for the successful development of the cele- brated Calumet and Hecla copper mines on the south shore of Lake Su- perior.
 These deposits of native copper were known, but were in an unproductive SoIuitioii uhtii ASdooiH, do oupSl ihtShN ent, brought his knowledge of geology, chemistry and engineering to bear. They yielded great wealth to Agassiz and his associates. The former has de- voted much of his income to the ad- vancement of geological research.
 In 1870 he visited the museums in Europe and in 1874 was appointed curator of the museum of comparative zoology, which his father founded. To the latter he has made gifts aggregat' ing over $1,0O0,O0O.
 The interest of Agassiz has been chiefly in marine zoology and he ranks first as an authority on that subject. For many years, usually in connection with some scientific branch of the gov ernment, he has been active in the exploration of the ocean depths.
 As early as 1874 he received favora- ble attention for his exploration of Lake j!ticaca and the coast of Chili. He soon afterward established in Mar rwagansett bay, near his residence, a private laboratory and saltwater aqua rum. The deep-sea dredging of the steamer Blake among the West Indies from 1877 to 1880 was under his direc- tion.
 In successive winters he explored all the oceans, adding greatly to the store of knowledge of the deep-sea fauna. Three years ago he conducted a pri- vate expedition to the Maldive islands. His abilities have been recognized by universities and scientific societies throughout the world. Emperor Will liam in 1902 appointed him member of the Order of Merit

The new arrival knocked at the gate.
 "Who are you?" asked St. Peter.
 "I'm humorist," answered the par. ty on the outside. q used to write jokes for the comic papers"
 "Well, I'll have to investigate your case" said the keeper of the keys. "In the meantime go over and sit down in the shade of that chestnut tree and make yourself at home."

Sympathetic,

Mrs. Brown-Have you heard from your son since he got that newspaper job in the city?
 Mrs. Green (proudly)-Yes, indeed; and he writes me that he is going to try his hand at poetry. An! who would have thought that I should ever be known as the mother of poet!
 Mrs. Brown-Oh, well, wouldn't worry about it if were you. Remember, he is young yet, and he'll probably have better sense when he's older.

NAMES AND NICKNAMEs.

| why Endanger success or Happiness Of
 Children by Nonsensica1 Sobriquets. Grandfather led the revolt in behalf 1 of the twins. The twins themselves lid not object to nicknames. Ellery answered placidly to any call of "Punch," and Lucy responded as promptly to the name of Judy" as she did to her real name-which in deed was not saying much, for the little lady had mind of her own, and Obstinacy to match. But grandfather spoke for both.
 Sounds funny, you think?' he said | It'll sound so to other children when this boy and girl go to school. They'll call Ellery and Lucy Punch and Judy too, and pretty soon half the folks in town won't know what their real names are.
 By and by, when Ellery gets into business, 1t may not seem so amusing to him. Say he's closing trade with some stranger who needs to be treated with dignity, persuaded that Ellery is Il solid man, and some old schoolmate happens along and sings out, Hello, Punch! Or suppose some other stran- ger is struck with Lucy's appearance and inquiries about her, and is told:
 "'Oh, yes, that's Judy Hopkins, Punch's sister!'
 "See anything funny in that"
 q know man who might be high in public to-day if it hadn't been for detestable nickname. Some boy called him Turkey Wetherell-'Turkey' be- cause of the attitude he took when running,-and just because the thing was so ridiculous it has survived and handicapped him in more ways than l could mention in an hour.
 q know a staid and dignified ma tron, who in her own family, when she was a little girl, was hailed as 'Shanks.' Well, the name got out, as such things always do, and though it didn't become public property exactly, 1t has served to shame and humiliate her many time.
 Flow do you know but that the
 ickname you bestow in love and use as kind of caress will some time be be turned to the purposes of hate? What right have you, anyway, to en- danger this boys success and this girls happiness? Very likely they, too, will be nicknamed, anyhow, by other children, but don't you set the other children bad example. This family's business is to make Ellery and Lucy respectable and respected, not to put on tags that'll make people laugh at them"
 That was the longest speech grand father had ever been known to make. Orations were not in his line. But when he pulled his hat down over his ryes and stamped along the hall to- ward the door, he carried the certainty although nobody had answered word-that he had converted his audi ence.

The Inauguration Resolution.

The action of the House District commit
tee in voting TO report the Senate's inaugu-
ration resolution practically without change
is graceful and praiseworthy recognition
of the necessity of providing at an early
date for the ball-reception which is so con-
spicuous a feature of all inaugural ceremo-
malls 1t should clear the way to action
by the House on Monday without delay or
debate, thus formally granting to the COM
mittees In charge of the preparations per-
mission to use the pension building for this
purpose.
II is to be believed that such opposition
10 the use of the government building for
this object has developed since the OPEN
ing of Congress has arisen from a misun-
derstanding of the true relation of the ball
reception to the general program on March
4. Ii is also evident that at no time has
this opposition been numerically sufficient
to cause a positive denial of the privilege.
There was at first and perhaps still Is some
divergence OF opinion as to which of the
public buildings should be thus used. The
proposal to use the Library OF Congress has
been formally withdrawn and seems to have
few il any friends. That to use the Capitol
was emphatically voted down by the House.
There is no other available public structure
save the pension building.
The decision of the citizens committee
to proceed with their preparations as
though there were no doubt of the action of
Congress in the premises has been merely
in the interest OF preparedness. and an ex-
preston of confidence in the ultimate grant
OF the privilege to use the pension office.
1t has been so understood by all citizens
and by those members of Congress who
have been made acquainted with the real
state of affairs. Thus there has been little
loss of precious time In consequence of the
delay in the enactment, and If the House
viii ratify the action of the District COM
mittee next Monday and pass the Senate
resolution as it stands the work can pro-
coed without difficulty and with the best OF
results.

The Four State Fraud.
the Review of Reviews

From the Review of Reviews.
If ever credit belonged clearly and I'M
mistakably to a single man for a great
public measure, it will be due to Senator
Beveridge If Oklahoma and the Indian ter
ritory are brought into the Union as one
normal and progressive state rather than as
two understood ones, and If, above all else,
the nation is protected against the fraud of
having Arizona and New Mexico brought
in at this time as two states with four sena-
tors, where the conditions of population
and education would not fairly entitle them.
even taken together, to be admitted as one
state for at least decade to come The
Inequalities among the states already pre-
sent SUFFICIENT difficulties. 1t Is the part of
craftsmanship to prevent the multiplication
of such difficulties. And 1t is the part of
an honest and intelligent press to recognize
men who, like Beveridge, will stand per
sistently against the political intrigues of
those that would sacrifice the future good
OF the country to help a corporation mag
nate who wants seat in the United States
senate from a pocket borough, or to pro-
mote the schemes of mining syndicate or
cattle company.

Stoessel,

Gen. Stoessers fame is probably secure
1t is difficult to see how a court-martial
could do aught but increase it. The siege
was long and trying. but the defense was
conducted. so far as the outside world is
advised, with spirit equal to the best
ever manifested by soldiers anywhere. The
Japanese, we are told, were much I'M
pressed, and at the close were glad to
fraternize with men who had stood to their
work so long under such difficulties. 1t is
disquieting. however, to hear that the Rus
sian hero has cancer. One could wish him
years of health, to enjoy the respect of his
own people and of soldiers everywhere.
The car, too. will need him in the reor-
ganization of Russian affairs, both mill
tary and civil, which is certain to follow
the close of this war, no matter how it
may terminate.

vision is an interesting question in Massa-

vision is an interesting question in Massa-
chusetts. and Gov. Douglas In his first Of
fetal address promptly associates himself
and his administration with 1t. His appeal
on the subject is very adroitly worded and
shrewdly calculated to attract attention.
If he had been in politics all his life he
could not have played the tariff card bet
ter. He opens up the matter of free raw
materials in a way that is certain to add to
the interest of the discussion at home and
secure him hearing in the country at
large.
And another point: The governor has
caused 1t to be known that he has no stom-
ach for snowy ceremonials, but will be rep
resented on such occasions by another.
The state will not withdraw it's counte-
nance from such functions, but for his
own part he will prefer to give his time to
the more serious affairs presented. He
asks his constituents to. accept him a
man more suited for action than for dress
parade. Old Homespun. when well played,
Is good character. and on several occa-
sions in our affairs has brought down the
house. The 'Nattick cobbler' was power
in his day in bay state politics, and Mr..
Douglas doubtless from study of him has
decided not to be known as the 'natty cob
bier" -... .-....
Massachusetts is pretty far north, and
maybe too far for presidential politics. But
If Mr.. Folk scores in Missouri and Mr..

that appeal to the masses the democracy

would lead to some lively discussion.
