What is a mugwump? The dictionary defines
him as Independent in politics. People gen.
orally define him a dsgruntled politician. Bob
Burdette a good many years ago defined him as
who knows not what he thinks nor why he
thinks it, and such has claims upon our SYM
pathy. He pleaded for justice to the mugwump.
Deal gently with the Mugwump, lost bird that
moulted out of season and migrated on mistaken
wings flying south in the very morn of the balmi-
est Junebreathed winter that ever wreathed this
continent in summer smiles, and then turning to
beat the air northward when the belated blasts
from Arctic caves turned all the mists of spring
to frosty rhine. The Mugwumps know not what
they want. Nor what they think. Nor do they
fully believe they believe what they believe they
believe. Be kind to the Mugwump; might
have been born that way ourselves. You would
not be impatient or harsh with an Indian because
his ideas on politics and thing and another
are vague and crude and amorphous? Then do
not be hasty with the Mugwump; he knows as
much Indian Not much all Indians,
two Indians, but just one Indian; and
I'll let you pick your Indian. Be just to the Mug
wump. Give him all his desire. Opposition is his
native element; provide him with plenty of it. He
thrives, when he thrives at all, neglect see
that he lacks it not but surround him with glacial
acres of it. He pines for martyrdom, let him have
it, right on the neck"

Unusual Height Of Queens.

1t is a singular fact that in the reigning houses
of Europe at the present time the royal consorts
are able to look down upon their leige lords, the
rulers of their respective countries.
Queen Alexandria is taller than King Edward
VII of England. The Car of Russia is much
smaller than his beautiful Czarna. The Emperor
William of Germany is overlooked by his Empress
The King of Italy, recognized as one of the small
est rulers of his time is much inferior in stature
to the truly regal Montenegro Princess who
stands head and shoulders above her King. The
Queen of Portugal look down upon her royal
lord and master, King Carlos. The Queen of
Denmark is taller than the King. Queen Louise
a Swede, who comes from nation of large peo
pie, is taller than her consort The Queen of
Spain fully equals in height her husband, King
Alfonso, if she does not exceed him. The Queen
of Roumania also equals her consort in height.

In general way, l may venture to say that
the ground work was something black, and soft,

Concerning the Hat.

The hats of the present day seem to be built
on the architectural design of the Tower of Babel

of Babylon. The cost is trifing maternity
