CHAPTER XXI.
ogIedon Plays His Last Card.

'OSIeQOt1 Rays FliS LoSI SAi ~
Philip Chatter, after being tumbled
so unceremoniously out of the tly,Wlth
no time in scrambling to his feet, with
the aid of Capt. Quist and the man OF
the melancholy visage. He founo
some difficulty in getting up on ms
own account, by reason of the hand-
cuffs which still adorned his Wrists
The captain, now that his first lament
was over concerning the wonderful
silk hat, picked up the wreckage OF MS
his headgear out of the dust and be-
came in a moment the resolute man
of action. ...
"Phil, my lad" he said, briskly, I'VE
'aven't got a moment to throw away.
At the rate that there 'oss is agoin'
they'll be in Chelmsford, with the
town reused, in about 'arf an hour;
and then they'll begin to scour the
country, if yer like Luckily it's dark,
an the moon amt a-showin' er face
as much as she was; SO We'll cut
straight across these ERE fields, an
lie close for bit at the circus. Lor'
-wot a lucky thing it is that took
to osses an sawdust!"
Philip was hurried along SO rapid
ly, and assisted over stiles and
through gates and hedges at such a
pace that he found it quite impossible
to ask any questions. The captain
kept an arm tightly locked in his, as
though he feared Philip might escape
again on his own account; while the
melancholy man secuted in advance,
on the lookout for possible surprises.
In this order, after going at a great
rate for some half-hour or so, they
came to a place where few lights
were cleaning among trees and some
shadowy figures moving to and fro In
the pale light of the moon a huge tent
stood up as background to the pic
ture, the front of which was occupied
by one or two smaller tents and a
couple of caravans. Without stopping
for anything the captain dived in
amongst these, pulled open the door
of one of the caravans, and motioned
Philip to go in.

GEESE ALARMED THE TOWN.
Wild Fowl, Driven to Earth, Aston
ished Sleepy Burahers. -.

One of those peculiar freaks of the
elements that occur only at long inter-
walls took place the other night, causing
what many believed for time was
shower of wild fowl, says Lewiston
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. A steady snowstorm prevailed
during the day, followed late at night
by heavy electrical storm. Amid
the heavy downpour of rain there was
drop of 20 degrees in temperature
and large flock of geese driven to
earth by the currents in the air and
attracted by the lights of the city
alighted in the streets or went hiss
ing, quacking and cackling about as if
bedlam had broken loose.
Many of the residents who were
suddenly awakened by the unearthly
noise were driven almost to the verge
of panic and are no longer sceptical
when they hear the story of the cack-
ling of geese awakening the sleeping
residents of Rome and saving the city.
The wildfowl were quietly swimming
about the little ponds in the adjacent
fields and On the bosom Of the Juniata
river next morning.

GOOSE ~ YEARS OF AGE.
It Is Still as Lively as a Much Younger
Bird.

William Yours Strong, farmer near
Caldwell, n. j., owns goose which is
u years old, he says, according to the
New York World.
William Yours, the man I was
named after. gave me this goose in
1871" said Strong. yours was
going back to the old country,
and he said: Bill, I've owned this
goose for SO years. would take her
with me, but fear she cannot stand
the voyage. So I give her to you.
Cherish her. Bill; be kind to her in her
old age, for she is almost like sister
to me-
Yours kissed the goose good-by,"
Mr.. Strong added. Look at her; she
is as active as a gosling."
This was affectionate exaggeration.
1t is true the the goose was waddling
around Mr.. Strong's farmyard, but her
carriage better compared to an aged
and dignified bird than a giddy fedg,
ling.

But, my good man, implore you to

If man were content to shave him

he could buy one with blade OF ex-

are razors far more expensive than
this. .,
Thus there are sold razors with han

smooth finish that bring $50 each-a
pair of such razors in plain silver
box can be bought for 500.
But $50 is not the limit of what one
the handle were deliberately chased its
cost might mount up to twice that, or
5000 for pair.
There are also silver among those
more expensive silver handled razors,
which range in price for from $3.50 to
$50 each; $3.50 being the price for
one with plain silver handle, while
those more costly have their handles
more or less deliberately chased or
carved.
A man who did not altogether like
hard rubber handled razor might
find his fancy suited with one having
a handle of ivory, and an ivory ham
died razor need not necessarily be e&-
pensiye; a razor with plain ivory
handle can be bought for 81. OF course
any carving would add to the cost.
Costly raZors are unusually sold for

POLYGANIY IN UTAH.

| Even though Senator Smoot has de-
nounced polygamy and has kept his
seat in congress, tn debate as to
whether polygamy exists in Utah goes
merrily on. Many people suppose
! that evil has been generally sup
pressed, but here is testimony directly
to the contrary. 1t is published in an
interview in the Washington Post:
utah will never be free from
polygamy and polygamous living until
the nation takes hand, and by bar
ring polygamists from federal Office
places the seal of disapproval upon
plural marriages." said w NJ Paden,
of Salt Lake, at the Arlington last
night. There are more flen living in
open polygamy in Utah today than
there have been in twenty-five years.
1t appears to be impossible to stop
! polygamous marriages, but it is pos
sible to prevent polygamous living
There is no way to find out how many
marriages a man contracts. He may
marry in several different parts of the
state, but he cannot conceal the fact
when he lives openly with several
wives.
I'm Salt Lake the people have
shown their disapproval of polyga-
nous living by refusing to elect to
state and city offices men who live
with several wives. We think that. til
federal government should not permit
such men to hold federal positions
That is the one way that the state of
Utah Will be able to stop polygamy; it
must have the support of the govern
nent.
'Mormonism is not opposed by 9TH
err sects. 1 have voted for Mormons
who have been candidates for public
office, but neversf for a polygamist And
| 1t is because Senator Smoot, who, as
an apostolic delegate. Endorses the
practice of polygamy that he is being
opposed"

MILL1oNAIREs IN CONGRESS.

Shall poor men be kept out of Wash
| ington? Shall statesmen of moderate
means be denied an opportunity to
serve their country? Shall the peoples
representatives be frozen out by the
fact that they and their families can
not endure to live shabbily in obscure
boarding houses, while the golden tide
of opu1ence overflows the life of the
national capital? Is there to be a So
cial dead line drawn around the APP
proaehes to Washington? These are
the problems discussed in an article
which Appleton's Magazine publishes
in the March number, written by Sena-
tor Albert ]. Beveridge of Indiana.
Senator Beveridge in this article
points to the alarming increase of lux
ury at Washington, and shows how the
standards of living have been set high
er and higher by the influx of wealth
until public officials of moderate means
are subject to endless humiliat ton. 1t
is not an argument for an increase of
salary, for, as he shows, to raise
senator's pay from $1,000 a year to
$500 a year would still leave him
ludicrously unfit to compete with the
wealth that is centering in Washing
ton.
Senator Beveridge delivers a Wig
orous arraignment of those wealthy
men who have bought their way into
the senate or congress, and once there,
have sought to hold their prominence
by the display of wealth rather than
brains or patriotism. They set a pace
in social life which no one of modest
means can keep up.
The hope of this nation is in the
ambition of its poor and the equality
of its opportunities. Senator Bever-
idge is recognized as one of the most
important legislators of the day. Yet
he himself was a plowboy at the age of
IL. then a railroad laborer, and, at Is,
a logger and teamster. He worked his
way through college and became law
yer. At one time he came out to Kan
sas and settled on the prairies of the
shortgrass country-out where Speaker
Simmons halls from. He is himself an
example of the invalua BILE statesmen
who have come from the humber or
igins without stopping to amass riches.
The article is therefore more or less
personal.
The senator shows that the member
of congress or the senate who comes to
Washington without a private fortune,
and with only his salary to depend on,
has little opportunity to add to his in
come, except. by writing articles apd
lecturing. Election, therefore, to a
of either senate or con-
gress has come to mean that a man
is thrust into a whirl of magnificence
without means to participate or power
to withdraw.
1t is an exceedingly stirring article.
1t tells something that the American
people have not known, but something
that is of vital Importance to them. |
How long can this condition continue?
