SPEAKER MAKES MiRTH.
"Joev Cannon Keeps House in Good
Humor by His Actions When
WELDING the Gavel.

Uncle Joe Cannon in action Is GER
tainly a picturesque and Interesting
figure. When chairman OF the COM
mittee on appropriations and vigorous
ly defending his bills or opposing
amendments, he always interested the
members and the galleries. Earnest
in manner and with gesture which
would excite mirth and laughter, he
always had the house in good humor.
even when refusing a large number
of members something they wanted.
AS speaker he wields the gavel in his
left hand, in itself an oddity. But
when ne counts a quorum, which John
Sharp Williams compels him to do
very frequently. he grabs the savel
around its head and points the handle
toward the members he is counting.
His ann is first bent like the voting
emblem OF the labor party and then it
shoocs out straight and the gayel is
horizontally pointed for an instant
This action is kept up. and western
men are reminded of bad man shoot
ing the lights out in a mining camp
booze joint 1t is amusing, this per-
Torrance of Uncle Joe. 1t caused VIII
liams tc tell the story OF the lady who
constantly asked a gentleman the time
of day, and explained that she did so
because the facial action of the man
with the watch so interested her little
boy that he stopped crying And then
he added:
80 sometimes l expect that | want
a quorum counted because the move
ments of the speakers gavel amuse
us so that they keep the house quiet
and put everybody in a good humor."
(Laughter)
But while Williams acknowledged
that the members of the house were
''grown-up boys. as all men are" he
wanted it understood beyond any ques-
tion that there was no trifiing with
sacred things. as he said:
But l want the country to under
stand that there is nobody in the
house OF representatives that is laugh

quirements OF any part of the funda-
mental law of the republic OF the

THRIFTY Mr.. LOEB.
Administration Is Run on
Business Principles.

The president was talking about the
miserable White House stable, which
is built on low ground behind the
White House, is antiquated and so
damp that the horses kept In 1t are
affected: He said that the condition
of the stable is SO bad that he does
not keep his own riding horses there
at all, but boards them at a private
stable. rlse
You see,' said the president, ''the
place is so damp and unhealthy. My
horse Wyoming caught cold there and
died. The stable has bad effect on
every horse kept there. They all get
the heayes. Every horse there but one
has Tie heaves-every horse but one,"
almost shouted the president. Think
of that"
How many horses are there in the
stable, Mr.. PRESIDENT" somebody
asked.
why, l don't know, but I'll find
out" and the president punched but
ton for Secretary Loeb.
Loeb" he said, as the secretary
came in, how many horses are there
In the stables now?'
Twelve" said Loeb, explaining that
two of them were work horses and
two some other kind. and going
through the list.
How many of them have the
heaves?" continued the president.
"One has the heaves," Loeb re-
piled,
why. Loeb" said the president, II
have been telling these men that every
horse there but one has the heaves,
and now you come here and say only
one of them has the heaves How do
you explain that"
But, Mr.. President said the thrifty
Loeb, II traded off all those with
the heaves for healthy ones"
The president laughed. Well" he
said, Il guess after this nobody can
say this administration is not run on

A Balloon incline Railroad.


Consul william Bardel writes from
Banbery that Engineer Balderauer,
Of Salzberg. has invented a balloon
railroad, experiments with which are
now being made in the mountains in
the neighborhood of that German city.
1t consists of a stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along a single steel rail. The rail is
fastened to the side of a steep noun
tain, which ordinary railroads could
not climb. except through deep cuts
and tunnels The balloon is to float
about 35 feet over the ground, and
a heavy steel cable connects it with
the rail. The conductor can, at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas, while the descent Is
caused by pressure of water, which
is poured into large tank at the up
per end OF the road, and which serves
as ballast. Suspended from the bal
loon Is a circular car with room for
ten passengers. The cable goes from
the bottom of the balloon through the
center of the car to a regulator of
speed, which Is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out of existence.

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for a Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: "Some years ago
had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe which left me in a COM
for some time with nervous prostra-
ton. My appetite failed. l lost flesh
till l was mere skeleton. life was a
burden to me, l lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious wife.
'''rhen on the recommendation OF
some friends l began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time was a mis-
erable skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room; /;
had ugly dreams at night, no disposi.
ton to entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
Il finally gave up the regular minis
try. indeed / could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for short
time 1 discovered that l was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
improve; began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily; l had
lost some so pounds. but under the
new food regime l have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.
81 feel that l owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require a powerful re-
building agent, delicious to taste and
always welcome"

Sleepy Policeman's Mistake.

An urban councillor of Milton, Sit
tingbourne. England. got into COM
partment at Barking in which po-
liceman and prisoner were travel
ing.
Presently the policeman fell asleep
and when the train reached Plaistow
the prisoner. failing to arouse his Gus
todian. quietly got out. When the po-
liceman woke up he mistook the urban
councillor for his prisoner and tried
to force him out to the platform. The
councillor resisted, and the train went
on to Bromley-by-Bow.
Here the policeman succeeded in
hauling the victim out and took him
back to Piaistow by train. After a
long cross-examination the councillor
was liberated and reached home by
cab in the small hours of the morning.

FARM-BRED MEN CALLED FOR.
Country Boys to Be the Future Kings
of Commerce.

The time is fast approaching when
the intelligent, Industrious and ener-
Eetic farmboy will occupy a more
prominent place in the affairs of the
state and nation han he has occupied
in the past. The rapid pace which
has to be taken by people engaged in
the professions and in mercantile puT
suits in order to successfully meet
the competition on every hand is not
conducive to the mental endowment
of the descendants, and the farmboy
of rugged constitution and industrioua
habits will be in greater demand to
take their places than has ever been
known. Much as has been written in
regard to the prominent part that
such breeding and early training in
the country nave contributed to the
successful management of great en-
terprises and the successful prosecu-
ton of professional matters, much
more will be said in the same direc
ton in the future.-Manchester, N.
