WAS STRONG ON SYNONYMS

That Bothered This Congress
man.

I've had a noted character down in
my state" said Representative Rich
ardson, of Kentucky, whose. chief aim
in life was the employment Of synon-
yms, according to the Washington
Post.
HE was a man of little education
and had not the slightest idea of the
shades of meaning which words pos
sess. Yet by constant study of the
dictionary he learned almost every
synonym in the English language.
"On one occasion, meeting with the
representative from his district, he
told the representative that there
was no need for him to be uneasy over
his chance for reelection, for his
fences were in good stipulation
"The use Of this word sounded
queer in the ears of the statesman,
and he pondered over it long time
without solving the mystery. Finally
he asked a friend what the fellow
meant by stipulation in connection
with political fences, and the latter at
once turned to a dictionary.
This speedily furnished the key
to the riddle, as one of the secondary
meanings of stipulation was found
to be condition.

Senator Tillman was accusing po-

"He is like the militia captain they
used to have in Concord.
This man came to Concord with a
war record and got captains APP
pointment in the militia.
"He was a martinez. The first day
he reviewed his company he examined
every hair on their heads, every but
ton on their coats. 1t was an ordeal
for them.
ION the whole the captain was
pleased with his inspection. One
thing dissatisfied him, though. His
men all had clean-shaven upper lips
Some had sidewhiskers, some had
mutton chops, some had COATES, some
mad patriotic chin boards. There was
not one who had mustache.
"The captain complimented his
company in short speech and con-
cluded by saying:
comfy one thing is lacking to make
a crack, martial-looking company of
mustaches. / want every man
Jack of you to raise a mustache.
"At this order the men looked at
one another and young farmer. step

said:

WASHING ioN'S DEATH RATE
Augmented Very Largely by the Col
ored Race, and Not Fault of
the Climate.

"The high death rate of Washington
IS due to the large portion of colored
inhabitants, and not TO climatic eondi-
IONS" said DIR. George M. Kober re-
:ently, in stereopticon lecture on
The Health of Washington" before
:he Academy of Science at Hubbard
Memorial Hall.
The colored race in general" he
continued, lis SO ignorant of hygiene
that many of them forfeit their lives
On this account each year. This is an
injustice to the city, inasmuch as 1t
makes the death rate appear exceed
mgly high in comparison with those OF
other cities. Climatic conditions have
much to do with the death rate. In
comparing the rates in Cincinnati,
Philadelphia, Springfield, H., Detroit,
Kansas City and Washington, cities in
which climatic conditions are almost
Identical, we find that the humidity of
Detroit is the greatest. But our own
city has the highest death rate, 22,S
persons in every 1000 having died in
1900. The number of deaths from con-
suuipIiOh III luio Nlly III thdl ycdl was
305.5 to every 100000 persons, higher
than that of any of the other cities I'M
der comparison. That health condi-
tons are improving in the capital city
Is shown by the fact that the death
rate for 1904 was 1851 to each 1000 IN
habitants, the lowest point reached in
the last 30 years. The average death
rate for this time was 22.64 to every
1000"
Dr. Kober told of former conditions
along the Potomac flats, which We're
the breeding ground for mosquitoes
and malaria. The abuses practsed
along the Potomac river above Wash
lngtoI were Illustrated by views show
Ing the pulp mills and sewers emptying
their refuse into the stream from
which the city takes its water supply.
The condition of the river at times be-
comes so bad that even fish cannot live
in 1t. The filtration plant and the sys-
tenn used were explained. The plant
was begun in 1901 by congress. 1t cost
$3,500,000, and will be maintained at
cost of 100000 a year. The reduc-
ton of deaths from typhoid fever alone
had more than paid for the cost of the
filtration plant.

Nothing more had been heard from
the guerrillas who had thus pierced
the Federal lines, searching for plum
der Perhaps the lesson taught by the
colonel had awakened them to the
danger they ran in thus prowling
around so close to Sherman's outposts,
and they had fed.
At any rate, there seemed nothing
more to fear from them since the gates
Of Lyndhurst doomed up before their
eyes.
Colonel John had no reason to re-
greet the work fortune had cut out for
him on this night. True, it had at one
time appeared as though the fates
were against him, but the change of
the tide sent everything his way.
Not for a good deal would he have it
otherwise.
He could without any conceit realize
that he had cut a wide swath along the
road to the heart of Mollie Granger
since darkness closed over Atlanta
and the Federal camps.
All that was necessary was to hold
himself in readiness at all times to
meet the foe face to face and wrestling
with him force an advantage from the
issue.
He saw Miss Mollie into the house
and babe her quietly goodnight, which
she answered in an equally composed
manner, neither of them dreaming that
the stirring events of that night had
not come to an end.

Good Stories Told of Odd Character
of Vermont.
think l can tell a better story
about William Paterson of STAFFORD,
VT, than the one in the Sunday Her
aid of Dec. 10.
Years ago STAFFORD was my home
I lived next to the church where the
following incident happened. One
Sunday in church Paterson's head
itched, but instead of scratching his
own he reached over and scratched
tie head of man sitting in the seat
in front of him.
Paterson's horse was white. One
Saturday night he went to the village
store at STAFFORD and tied his horse
urEer the shed. When ready to go
home he took a bay horse that was
hitched near his own and started.
When the owner of the bay horse got
ready to go he found it was gone.
Seeing Patersons there he surmised
what had happened, so took the white
horse and went in pursuit. Sure
enough, he found Paterson driving
serenely along about half mile from
home. When spoken to, the absent
minded said: "Well, well, well;
have got your team" He then got
out, took his own outfit and went on
his way
One spring when tapping his sugar
orchard he put spike in gate post
and hung pail under it to catch the
sap, just as he did the maple trees
near the gate.--Boston Herald.

TOUCHED "CRANK BUTTON"
food Joke Which Secretary Shaw I'm
Intentionally or Otherwise
Perpetrated.

Secretary Shaw has a number of
electric buttons on his desk connecting
with the Office of the captain of the
treasury watch. One of these buttons
sounds what is known as the crank
bell" When that bell rings, says Sue
cess Magazine, it is supposed that
the secretary is being annoyed by
cranks. Recently he was comforting
with Assistant Secretary Charles II.
Keep, chairman of the Keep commits
sion, and Comptroller Tracewell,
whose duty it is to lare down pub
lie expenditure to the bone. The con-
ference was one in which Secretary
Shaw failed to become interested, ard
he showed his Impotence by shifting
around in his chair and playing mag
mary tunes on the electric buttons.
Accidentally or otherwise he touched
the crank button" A minute later
the captain of the watch and two of
the watch force rushed into the secre-
tarys room all heavily armed. When
the captain of the watch explained MS
presence by saying that the crank
alarm had been sounded, Secretary
Shaw looked first at Assistant Secre-
tary Keep and then at Comptroller
Tracewell These two officials could
not grasp the kumor Of the situation,
but Secretary Shaw lay back in his
chair and roared with laughter, while
Mr.. Keep and Judge jracewel hur-
riedly left the room. They are stin
wondering whether Secretary Shaw
touched that crank button" by acct
dent.
