poyener and Harmer.

Walter M. Morris. the well:knowa
Herald writer, several months ago,
charged that the political purpose OF
Harvey w. Harmer. was to get con-
troll of the organization of the Re-
publican party, and 1t was strongly
fntimated that with that acc6mp-
Hshed Mr.. Harmer would use the
party to elevate himself to public Of
nee.
Any man familiar with the career
of Mr.. Harmer knows his one am
bition has been TO be in office, and
there is no man of his age in the
county that has been in office long
er or oftener than he. 1t is known
that the Office of mayor is repulsive
to him, for he has ambitions to be
congressman and possibly governor,
hoping to bring that about by an
imitation of Folk.
To crafty this ambition it ia
necessary to espouse the cause of
radical reform, that is to make a
pretense at 1t, but not until he tast-
ed sour grapes in politics did he as
sumo this attitude. 1t was charged
that unfair means were resorted to,
when he was in the zenith of politi-
cal preferment, but not even a whIm-
per escaped his lips in denial of that
charge. Doodle and booze could be
the campaign cry against his party
then without protest from him.
Simply because he was running for
ONCE.
But another day came. He sought
ONCE still more. His party that had
honored him so often preferred an
other man. What did he Immediate
~ proceed to do? He though he
saw all sorts OF Doodle and booze
and set up howl, forgetting that
the same howl had previously been
made repeatedly against his party.
when he was running for office and
with no denial from him. He not
only set up howl, but he also pro-
ceeded in an attempt to not only de-
feat his party but also to fight poll
tically one closely allied with him in
the church, indeed, a gentleman of
rs high standing in the church as he
himself assumes to have.
Again, it is said of him and with
the foundation truth that after
pledging his support to the Hon. W.
P. Hubbard for Congress, he was
ambitious OF becoming the Demo-
cratic nominee for that exalted Of
Zee and really sought the nomina-
tloR at the hands OF the delegates.
All through his life and today his
thought has been and is of him
self.
This leads, up to the following
editorial by the Fairmont West
virginian, from which may be seen
the difference between a man who
seeks the welfare of his party and
country and is willing to magnani-
mously step aside in obedience to
his party's wishes. and Mr.. Har-
mer:
"In a letter of Hon. w. p. Hub
bard few days ago regretting his
inability to attend a banquet in
honor of retiring Congressman B.
B. Dovener, Mr.. Hubbard took oc-
casion to speak Of the ungrudging
and very loyal support Captain
Dovener had given him since his
selection as a candidate for Con-
gress to succeed the veteran states

Harmer's mugwump sheet pro-
ceeds to aver that Harmer has not
been doing his duty because the
council will not let him. and then in
the next breath it asserts he has done
his duty and kept his pledges.
There is a striking impression in
this that there is something quite
wrong In that sort OF argument.

CHAPTER XIV.

Next morning, although il was the be-
ginning Of spring, the snow was falling
and a biting northeast wind made the
day look Ike December. Lady Carlyon
was sitting IN her morning-room with her
two beautiful children at her knees when
Sir Percy entered about u o'clock Meth
ing is so beautiful and interesting as a
young mother with her children, and Sir
Percy, standing on the hearthrug, paid
his wife the tribute of admiration. She
played with the children and danced
about the room with them as If she were
child herself Sir Percy was not sur
prised at her cheerfuness; he had ever
found IN her that admirable quality OF
courage and gayety Of heart in the pres
ence OF danger, which is half the battle
II is commonly observed that this pres
ence Of danger produces in brave men a
quickening of the intellect as well as an
exhilaration Of spirits, and it is equally
true Of brave women. Lady Carlyon was
siugularly fearless; her pride was up in
arms. Alicia March had made claim to
some part and lot in Sir Percy Carlyon's
life, a claim which Lady CarlyOn treated
with fine sCorn, and Alicia March mad
made threats and had assumed the power
of disposing of Sir Percy Carlyon's ca
reer. This aroused in Lady Carlyon the
spirit of defiance. These things brought
smiles TO her face, a new light to her
eyes, and a laughter carriage to her
delicate head. Sir Percy knew well these
signs. Presently, however, the children

wife were alone

SHOWERS or FISH.
The Way the Not Unusual Phenomenon
Is Brought About. ~

The phenomenon of shower of
fish is of more common occurrence
than is generally supnosed.
1t is undoubtedly due to some
small fry of fishes having been lift
ed from the water and carried over
dry land by what is popularity
known as a watcrspout. When two
currents of air travelling in oppo-
site directions meet, the resulting
atmospheric disturbance, if on a
mall scale, is called a whirlwind
and if on a large scale a tornado,
the destructive powers of which are
proverbial.
Hon. Ralph Abercromby defines
a whirlwind as "a mass Of air whose
height is enormously greater than
its width, rotating rapidly round a
more or less vertical axis" The
mass might be, for instance, 200
feet high and only ten feet in diam
eter. This whirlwind column has a
funnel-like center and may travel
as fast as thirty miles an hour in a
particular course. -
The phenomenon is usually visi-
bic in the sky as descending col
umn, This is owing to the compress
sion of cloud within tie circuit
Of the whirlwind air. Should the
disturbance reach the surface Of the
ground dG>t, mud and all kinds Of
debris arc sucked up into the col
umn and carried along. If tine path
of the axis Of the disturbance crosses
the sea or a river, the surface wa
ter is whir!cd up into the funnel
and minglcs with the whirling col
umn of descending vapor. This is
the effect known as a waterspout.
When the rotary motion ceases
the accumulated moisture descends
in a cloudburst or as very heavy
rain. The small surface living fry
of fish in the sea, usually herring OF
even comparatively heavy fish from
shallow inland waters, are frequent.
ly thus carried over dry land and
astonish the pedestrian by descend
ing on his umbrella.
Many cases are reported from
abroad, and they are common il
India. In England the species Of
fish that thus fall are usually indig
enous to the neighborhood, which
shows that their involuntary jour
ney through the air is never very
far. Frogs, insects and other liv
ing creatures have also been know
to be thus transported through thu
air.-London Globe.
