The Laughing Hyena.

The laughing hyena meanders at night
Equipped with a ravenous appetite.
He hasn't the will nor the skill for to kill
His food for himself, SO he wonders until
A lion or leopard comes Looping that way,
And he follows behind till they fall on
their prey,
Then fingers, a grin, near the grewsome
arena,
In hopes they will snare with the laugh.

He frequents the places where lions fore
gather
And if one so much as remarks on the
weather
lie cries, What hit!" and he laughs

Till the lion begins to believe he's a wit,
Ana gains such taste for applause,
that, alack,
lie keeps the hyena close by for claque.

keener
A critic exists than the laughing hyena.)
This sycophant habit obtained such a
hold
That once at funeral twas not con-

chaffed the giraffe,
Till the relatives rose in the widows

And they said: :All the funeral trap

And we guess there is room for one more

And everyone claimed that they seldom
had seen a
More impromptu corpse than the laugh.

My child, if you find you're acquainted

Who laugh very hard at your silliest

With a thin sort of grin cen before you

Be sure a hyena turks under their skin
And if you are wise you will plan their
demise
Ere the smoke OF their incense has blind

things his friends want him TO do IN
order to bring him into the limelight.
Whom they suggest something OF tho
atrical nature, something that looks IKE
pandering for publicity, Johnson imrne'
distely takes to his heols. His political
managers tear their hair, argue with HIM
and beg, but IL is Of no avail.
For instance, the subject Of his max

soon as he was geeting sl2 month he
could no longer let his mother work
From that time on, he supported his
mother and the other children OF the
family. Later he turned down an offer
to play with a professional base ball
team at a tempting salary. Then he
was offered the editorship OF the st,
Peter Herald.
Like 1.-THE Gentleman from Indiana,
he built his future as he sat in the lit
Tie office Of the towns paper, chronieling
the comings and goings, the births and
deaths of his fellowmen and women.
And be made the editorial column of his
paper real power in that and adjoining
counties. Also, like "The Gentleman
from indiana" he became finished pub
lie speaker and deep thinker on politi-
cal subjects.
Thus it came about that the people
turned to him as deserving political
honors.
In 1898 he was elected state senator
and again in 1900, In 1904 he was elect
cd governor BY plurality OF 5000, while
Roosevelt carried the state by 10000.
Two years later he was reelected by
$4,000, Among his achievements as gov
ernor are cited the increased assessed
valuation of the u. s, Steel Corporation
in Minnesota from SS2,o0e,000 to $780,.
100000; reduction Of railway rates
from 10 to 30 per cent; 2cent passenger
rate; a free state labor bureau, and a
reformed system of taxation.

have met all the social demands that
go with the gubernatorial Office, they
have stopped there. Mrs. Johnson is as

Ice Made in Homo Kitchen.

The problem OF producing ice in small
quantities quickly and cheaply has ap-
parently been solved by French inven-
tor, who has perfected machine which
is cheap, simple OF operaUsn, practically
everlasting, and thoroughly practical.
1t may be operated by belt connected
with small steam engine, by a small
electric motor, or by hand cranks.
The invention is a rotative compress
sion and automatic machine, regulating
itself to all speeds, whatever may be the
temperature OF the condensng water
used. The important feature is a cylin-
der III which the chemicals are sealed
the latter not requiring renewing and
lasting as long as the machine itself
and which, revolving in water, produces
the ice. 1t can also produce cold air
The machine has no joint piece, no
pressure gauge, no suction or regulating
valve IL will work in water reaching
even ll3 degrees Fahrenheit, and saves
ninety-eight per cent. of cooling water
and seventy per cent. Of motive power as
compared with any other freezing ma
chine known.
The Germans have also new freezing
device, especially adapted to household
and field hospital use. 1t is very simple
and could be manufactured for about
one dollar. II consists merely OF dou-
BILE wall tin vessel with capacity of
five gallons. The hollow space between
the two walls is about an inch across.
BY the gradual admission OF carbonic
acid into this hollow space through an
opening at the bottom, and from there
TO the vessel proper through cross arm
tube, it is claimed that water may be
into ice in the space OF sixty
seconds, and that meats, fruits, and bey.
erages, such as beer or wine, may be
chilled or frozen in few seconds. This
effect is produced by the sudden great
reduction of temperature caused by the
rapid expansion OF the carbonic acid
which is admitted from an ordinary
carbonic acid resevoir.--Te technical

Former French Minister, Convicted Of

Rome, June Nunzio Nasi, former
minister OF public instruction, who was
sentenced by the Senate, sitting as a
high court, to eleven months and twenty
days imprisonment, and TO be debarred

two months, on a charge Of embezzle-
ment from The state treasury, ended
his imprisonment in his own nome here
at midnight Saturday night. For four
years, however, Nasi can enjoy no po-
liticaI rights, and he thus cannot take
his seat in the Chamber Of Deputies to
which he was recently elected a member
from Trapani, Sicily, 1t is said that
Nasi will dedicate the remainder Of his
years to an effort to prove his innocence.
In few days he will go to Sicily, where
great demonstrations are being prepared
in his honor.
