Gen. Wheeler, Dying, Put Cotton
in Ears to Drown "Firing."

New YoIk.-Several days be-
fore General Joseph Wheeler died
and at time when he was occa-
sionally irrational he sat up in
bed one evening and said to the
nurse:
"When does the firing begin?"
TO humor him the nurse re-
piled:
"The firing will begin at 8
o'clock, General"
General Wheeler leaned back
in his bed, apparently resting.
At five minutes to 8 he reached
over for his watch, noticed the
time and took from the table near
his bed small bunch of absorb
ent cotton. Very deliberately
General Wheeler plugged both
ears with the cotton. Then he
leaned back in his bed again and
went to sleep.

Love Letters Stuff Pillows.

Instead of tying her sweet
hearts letters with a blue ribbon
and consigning them to a per-
fumed receptacle all their own,
the fiance now fills a pillow with
these love documents and kneels
upon it at her wedding ceremony.
Nothing will induce any senti-
mental BRIDE elect to cut up the
letters so precious to her, so they
are stuffed into the white satin
pillows whole.
Then the pillow is bound round
with a gold cord and tied at one
corner in a true lovers knot.

1t Was Deep Enough.

Bliss Carmen, the poet, tells
Harper's Weekly the following:
"0nce when a Boston man and
his wife were viewing a resort
near the Springfield river they
went out for a iaunt in the woods.
In some way the man fell into a
small stream, and as he was not
a swimmer he found himself in
considerable difficulty. Fortu-
nately, however, the stream was
not deep. His wife gave vent to
a torrent of tears right into the
stream. At this the unfortunate
man evinced fresh evidence Of
''the rattles." Looking up at his
weeping wife above him, he man
aged to gasp out:
"For Heavens sake, stop weep-
ing into the river, or ! am lost.
It's deen enough already.

Lobbying For
Appropriations.

Judging from the jackson pa
pers, the strongest lobbyists
about the Legislature are the
heads Of the State institutions Of
learning. The Ways and Means
Committee II the House. had
agreed 10 report advocate on the
requests for extras asked for
by the institutions. No sooner
did the report become public,
than we note the lobbyists at
work, and it is stated that the
Senate has agreed 10 restore

tute and College that was denied
by the House. The A. q M.
College and the State University,
on the other hand, think they
were badly treated by the Senate,
and they are going TO appeal TO
the House to grant their requests.

She'll Kiss Her STEADY

Mary Waldo, of 1856 Second
street, had rightful complaint
against her former beau, CHA
Lawrence, when she appeared
before Magistrate Breen in the
Yorkville court. ~ used to like
him, and promised to marry him, J"
she said. "Then | changed my
mind. So now he goes about
telling all the other fellows not to
have anything to do with me. He
said ] am too good"
aren't you too good?" asked
the interested court.
"Course not" she shifted.
"I'm just like the other girls
"And how are they?"
"Well, they all let their steadies
kiss ,em, and do, too. But Giza
says | wouldn't. And it amt SO.
III kiss my steady any time.'
Magistrate Breen took good
look at the young lady. She is
about eighteen, round, perfect
and charming. Lips are Grim
son. you know. Foot slender
and slightly arched. Waist just
right for steady. Even an uE-
steady should be more than will
ing to kiss her. CHA admitted |
that he had slandered her. He
had kissed her. He kind of puck
cred her lips, in silent token that
he was willing to kiss her again.
His eyes half closed, and he shift
ed his right foot meditatively.
The magistrate uttered a judicial
order. "l hereby rule that this
young lady is willing to kiss her
steady" said he, "all statements
o the contrary Notwithstanding.
Also, that she is not too good, but
lust good enough to suit any
steady. And if hear from you

Wind Made Electricity.

Wind-made electricity holds
out the promise of becoming a
great boon to rural districts; and
the day is near at hand when ev-
cry farmer who has a windmill on
his grounds can enjoy electric
lights and the many other servi-
ces which electric power is capa-
BILE of yielding, For many years
men have been trying to convert
wind power into electricity. r.
W. Wilson, of Westfield, Ind,
has worked out a practicable
method Of accomplishing it.
In producing wind-made cleo
tricity, Wilson calls upon the
windmill TO perform its customa-
~ functions of pumping water.
He leads the water into a hy-
drauEc regulator built on the
principle of a waterlift, in which
the pressure is controlled by
weights, and from which it is re-
leased by means of automatic
valves.
This regulator is the means of
maintaining an even pressureun
der all conditions, whether the
windmill is revolving fast or
slow.
Under the uniform pressure,
the water is passed from the hy-
draulic chamber through a water
to which a dynamo is attached.
Mr.. Wilson demonstrates the
success Of the invention at his
own shop IN WestneId, which IS /
