Putting the Capitol on Wheels.

The removal OF the State Capital

big proposition; and while cOntribu-
tons of half million or more from

and glittering, it may as well be said
that Maine isn't ready quite yet to put

up at auction" That and some other
similar propositions now pending may
render a necessity the referendum and
initiative, as to which much hope has
been expressed.

Burned Sunday Night.

The tarm home of J. D. Now
rer at Harlan, ID miles from Big
Elk, burned to the ground about
midnight, Sunday night, and
phone message was received bv
local physician that two people
had been seriously burned and
advice was sought as to remedies
to be applied.
Inquiry yesterday morning re-
suited in the information that the
house and contents, valued at
about $500, total loss.
How the fire originated is not
known, as the family had been
asleep tor some hours and the
only fire that had been in the
house was in the cook stove early
in the evening.
Mr.. Mowrer is postmaster at
Harlan, and the fixtures and post
office books were lost, although
the mail was saved.
When the family awoke the
house was already burning and
hasty escape was made by those
downstairs. A nephew, Ell
Mowrer, aged about IA, was
asleep upstairs, however, and
Mr.. Mowrer made his wav
through fire and smoke and res
cued the dazed lad, who would
otherwise have perished. Both
were badly burned about the face
and hands, but just how serious
the injuries are is not known
here. The family consists of Mr..
and Mrs. Mower, three children,
and the nephew mentioned.

Punishment.

At one time in a certain peniten-
tiary there was renaissance in the
moral discipline of the prison, and
all were compelled to attend chapel
regularly. One of the prisoners
came to the warden one day anc
begged to be allowed to, remain
away from the chapel exercises, as
he wanted Sundays to write letters
to his friends. The warden looked
at the beseeching convict in amaze
ment. "What," he exclaimed, sal
low you to stay away from religious
exercises all the time! No, sir.
Why, man, don't you know that's
part of the penalty?" And the con-
Wet continued to worship regularly,
while the warden led in prayer.

Beauty Everywhere.

The remotest corner of the globe
is full of wonder and beauty. The
LATEST bank in the world, away from
towns, where no artists do congre-
gate, upon which no farm laps,
where no vines hang their cooling
clusters, nor flowers spring, nor
grass invites the browsing herd, is
yet spotted and patched with moss
of such exquisite beauty that the
painter, who in all his life should
produce one such thing, would be
a master in art, an immortal in
fame, and it has the hair of 10000
reeds combed over its brow, and its
shining sand and insect tribes might
win the students lifetime. Gods

pan was already in a high state of
civilization at the opening of the
present modern era. Some time be-
fore America was discovered the
japanese had their banks, clearing
house and Europe's supposedly mod
ern system of bank checks, drafts,
letters of credit and notes of hand.
A thorough rural delivery postal
system also was in vogue among the
Japanese in the days when painted
Indians still roamed the shores of
New England and the Atlantic
coast.

Theophile Gautier,

In spite of his exceptional
strength and the magnitude of his
desires, Gautier was a dreamer,
strayed into the midst Of a restless,
implacable civilization which rush
ed past him and over him and trod
him under foot, while he, uncon-
scious of the fact, made no COM
plant. "Poor Theo!' he sometimes
exclaimed, and we, his friends, knew
what depths of unspoken suffering
were compressed into thai cry. He
lived in a world of dreams far away,
so far away indeed that he was
aware the fantastic existence he had
imagined was not to be realized
upon our earth and therefore made
the best of the Indifferent circum-
stances in which he was forced to
live. - Literary Recollections, )"

QUICK IN RET0RT.

a subject of some sharp shafts. Once
he was attacked by Senator Eli

smallest state in the Union. He
disposed of the whole matter by say
ing, ri thank the senator rom that
great state which has tEf. counties

tide for his advice
John Randolph of Roanoke was
the most sarcastic man ever heard
in the halls of congress, unless Da-
vid A. De Almond of Missouri be an
exception. Both Randolph's and
De Almonds speeches drip vitriol,
but they are not epigrammatic and
are hard to quote. Randolph, who
fcurished in the early days Of the
republic, when things were all un-
settled, was furiously attacked by a
Republican from Rhode Island who
had been a blacksmith. Randolph
was a descendant of Pocahontas and
of the best blood of aristocratic Vir-
ginia. He replied to the presump-
tuous blacksmith: ''What creden-
tials does the gentleman bring?
From whence does he spring? And
why has he left his leather apron
behind ?" The reply was hissed
back, "I sent it to Pocahontas to
make moccasins for his grandchil-
dren."
An illustration of the nimble and
caustic wit of Alexander H. Ste
phens of Georgia in senatorial de-
bate occurred on the senate floor
during heated argument with Rob
ert Toombs, also Of Georgia Ste
phens, although possessed of one of
the most powerful brains of his
time, was lame and had wizened
little body. Toombs was one of the
largest men in the senate and was
of clustering, sputtering type. He
had argued with Stephens until he
was hoarse and became so exasper-
ated that he threatened to fight.
However, consideration of the size
of his opponent deferred him, and,
turning, he said, Il won't fight you,
but l could swallow you whole"
Stephens quickly retorted, eff you
did you would have more brains in
your stomach than you ever had i'll

only 23 such as last S ,turday.

fence. That's certainly fine sup
port. The student body should
be proud of its ''muckers."

The Widows Cod,

A case was recently tried in JUS
tees court in which a common old
fashioned hound was the subject of
contention. This hound was alleged
to be the best dog after coons in the
neighborhood. Two men claimed
the dog, and each employed an at
torney to assist in the case. At the
trial it developed that the dog be-
longed to a widow residing in the
neighborhood, and the justice gave
the custody of the dog to the widow
and assessed fine against each of
the litigants in the sum of $40.
They paid the fine, and the justice
gave it to the widow. She then said
that either of the litigants could
use the dog when he wished, pro-
vided that neither of them paid his
lawyer. 1t is reported that the at
torneys are still looking for their
fee.-Columbus Dispatch.

Superstition In Calcutta.

The grossest superstition exists
in Calcutta. Not long ago an In
dian gentleman residing in Jaun
Bazaar street had live goat flung
down from his two storied house in
accordance with the directions of a
so called magician, who was called
in to cast out devil with which a
son was supposed to be possessed.
The poor brute was first fed with a
few bamboo leaves over which the
wizard mumbled some mantras, and
it was then pushed over the terrace.
The animal was killed, and its flesh
was distributed to the poor.

Uncomfortable Korean Houses.

The "kang," the Korean house
furnace, renders the atmosphere Of
the inns where travellers take their
rest almost insufferable. It is pic
tured as a primitive though eff
fective means of heating the houses
throughout the kingdom. A small
fire of brushwood is lighted in the
small furnace at one side of the
house, thence numerous fues under
the mud floor conduct the smoke
and hot air to an upright chimney
or hole in the wall at the opposite
end or side, and a little fire suffices
to thoroughly heat large house. A
traveller says he is not surprised to
find coughs and colds common, for
an indoor temperature of 70 de-
grees or 50 degrees and an outdoor
one of zero form trying extremes.
Moreover, the constant warmth
seems to keep alive the numerous
flies, feas, bugs and cockroaches
with which most of the houses
swarm.
