coneeIt That Had a Fall.


Gov. Pardee of California was talk.
ing about fire insurance agent who
had disappointed him.
"This man." said DR.. Pardee, had
spoken so generously at first about
the payment OF all claims in full that
81 was as disappointed as a man
who had 1ust returned from a months
vacation. This man got out of the
train with his bags and valises, and
with expanded chest trudged home
ward through the hot city, pleasantly
conscious that he looked as brown
as a berry, as hard as nails-in the
pink of condition after his long month
in the sun and wind.
Suddenly he met a friend. This
friend shook him by the hand, peered
hard in his face and said, anxiously:
"'Hello! Going out of town for a
few days, / suppose from your lug
gage? Well, I'm glad to see it, for,
by George. you need a change. You
certainly do look tuckered out"

COULD NOT ADMIT IGNORANCE.
SO College Man Drew on Imagination
for Answer.

No one knows better that little
knowledge is a dangerous thing than
college professors of American his
tory. Most of the men who take their
courses have had an elementary &C.
quaintance with the subject gained in
the grammar schools. and, trusting to
their rer-"mbrance of this and the
portentous powers for bluff1ng which
every college man possesses, they
hope to get through without doing any
work. Probably the best bluff ever
gotten off nt Yale was recently at
tempted in Prof Smiths class roon-
"Mr. Ide,' asked the professor,
what was the omnibus bill of 1902"
Mr.. Ide's answer has become class
ic. 1t had all the qualities of good
answer but correctness. He rose to
his feet and looked the professor
straight in the eye
"The omnibus bill" he replied firm
ly, "was a bill providing for the cart
age of immigrants across the plains"

ODD CHARACTER IN CAPITAL.
Woman of Remarkable Mentality Lives
There in Poverty.

Living In squalor in the suburbs of
Northeast Washington Is a little old
blind woman who has a remarkable
history. She claims to be llneal de-
scendant from Russian nobility, and as
having been married to a ''grandee"
in that country when she was very
small girl. This venerable woman.
though living in the most miserable
surroundings, has a brilliant mind and
is an advanced student of astronomy.
One of her axloms is to the effect that
this life would not be worth the living
were 1t not for the spiritual side of it.
81 do not live here" she said, dream
lily the other day 81 exist away up
yonder (pointing skyward where
there are suns, stars and worlds, but,
above ALL where there is spirituality
everywhere. Where the sordid and
found. Where there is genial
brotherhood and sisterhood of spir'
ituality."
This remarkable woman numbers
among her other accomplishments the
writing of poetry. Her friends claim
she can foretell coming events with
almost unerring certainty. She has
been student of materla medica since
girlhood. Recently a number of prom
inent people have visited the shanty
in which she makes her earthly abode

SEM Who Rise Early.
People who have an idea that sena-
tors do not work like common people
should obsn~ye some of them going to
the capitol early in the morning. A
few days a~o Senator McCumber, Of
North Dakota, went into the building
and to the rooms of the committee on
pensions, of which he is chairman, be-
fore $3.50 o'clock. Very few depart
mental employees were at their desks
at the time he began looking over his
correspondence.
Senator knute Nelson, of Mime
sofa, is PROBABLY one of the earliest
risers, as he is one of the earliest men
in the senate to get down to work. 1t
is not unusual for him to be at his
committee room before eight o'clock,
and sometimes he reaches the capitol
before the elevators begin running.
Some of the members of the supreme
court of the United States are early
workers. More than one of them finds
that his thinking machine when deal
ing with knotty problems Of the law
works more readily in the early dawn
and rises in order to get in the best
work at that hour.
