The Time Will Come When You Will Hear Me-"
B. DlSRAELI, House of Commons, Dec: 2, 1887
(All Rights Reserved.)

AS the young orator said, II stand
here in some degree formally, put
not virtually, the representative or
a large section of the members or

passed around the benches. NOW,
why smile?' asked the speaker.
The simple question so artlessly
put produced an outburst. But when
the parliamentary fledGiing spoke

members OF the Melbourneiministry
the laughter was on Disraelis side.
There was much confusion and
tumult when he tried to bring his
remarks to a. close.
''Notwithstanding,'' said the dis
turbed member from Maidstone,
that a political duel had been
fought, in which more than one shot
had been interchanged, but In which

A GRAND OLD MAN.

Edward Payson Weston is the grand

some time ago at the age OF siXty-nine
to beat his own record In tramp
from Portland, Me-, to Chicago, dis.
lance of 1880 miles. In twenty-four
days and nineteen hours. His record
OF forty years ago over the same
ground was twenty-five days twenty
two hours and forty minutes. and he
has succeeded In his Undertaking. The

started, was as follows:

He did not keep up with the sche-

he did 95.3 miles in twenty-sevcn hours

ance. lie was taken sick on the way.
but struggled on, and nothing but his
will-power saved him from collapse.
The tramp in itself is a notable
achievement for man who has lived
nearly three score years and ten. 1t
shows that the Psalmist's limitations do
not apply in all cases 1t shows that a
man of seventy is not necessarily an
imbccile and back number. But the
most valuable lesson which the grand
old man is teaching is the value OF
temperate life. Physical health is
largely a matter of attention. Mr.. Wes-
ton has been able to accomplish his
notable feat because he has taken
care of his health: because he has
cultivated temperance, self-control
pluck and optimism. All his life he has
been preparing for his long tramp, and
has just given an exhibition OF his
preparation. lie teaches us all les

Editor of The Tlmes-Dispatch:
Slr,-The writer requests space for
brief card in which he merely wishes
to say he is not "a champion of Texas"
in any sense. His card was simply sent
in, worded as it was with the view of
having the verses of the Houston Post
republished, the same being SO very
applicable for the approaching Christ
mas. "EXplaining joke is a dreary
business" This sage assertion may APP
ply to any dullard. but hardly to the
writer, who is unwilling to be SO
classed. and for the further reason that
he knew fun well the kindly spirit in
which the aGraphers of both papers
aired their respective witty or rather
faGetious remarks; and for still fur
Their reason that the Post more than
sustained its end OF, the line in the
controversy of pleasantries. No, no;
there can scarcely be any need for a
champion for the Houston Post in its
contest with The Times-Dispatch, sure
ly not in paragraph lore.
The writer greatly admires your
candor in admitting that the Post lin
variably gives us back as good as We
sent" OF course, this admission is not
only generous. but 1t is even maGnani-
nous in courtly rival for para
graph reputation.

Heard and Seen
in Public Places

One of the most prominent criminal
lawyers in the State was in the city
yesterday, and In discussing the value
of circumstantial evidence he related
| a good story. It went something after
| this fashion:
| A housewife, who was n fine cook,
had prepared large pan of corn pud-
ding. She and her husband went out
! to spend the afternoon with friends,
and. desiring to have the pudding for
supper, she placed the pan on the half
warm stove in order that it might be
in good shape when they returned to
at home, and the small boy" got In
evidence almost Immediately. He be-
came hungry, as small boys" often do,
and In looking around for something to
and helped himself bountifully. When
| he had satisfied his appetite the boy
bethought himself, and began to con-
slider what his mother would say. He
| finally picked up an innocent cat and
stood it on all tours in the pan. OF
course, the cat jumped out as soon as
| the boy turned 1T loose. and 1t ran all
over the house. leaving tracks on the
rents returned, and the mother Went
about preparing for supper
What has happened to my corn pud-
ding?" she asked, when she saw a big
hole dug in the middle of the pan.
'"wlly, that is easy of explanation"
said her husband. Don't you see the
cat tracks in the pan and all over the
loor? I'll kill. that cat at once" he
continued, getting his gun and follow
ling the tracks all over the house. lie
finally located the cat on the back
porch, whereiit was engaged In licking
hts feet.
"Bang" went the gun, and the cat
was dead. The Small boy," standing
behind his father, exclaimed: There
goes another victim or circumstantial
| evidence." n 5l5sf
The lawyer who told the story says
he has often cited the case in court as
showing the danger of trusting to cir
cumstantial evidence.
