j. A. Pease, the chief Liberal whip.
related at the dinner given to him oy
the Eighty club that during an all
night sitting of the house of commons
certain member was, as he thought,
absent. The gentleman was really
present at every division, but he was
snatching sleep at intervals in one of
the recesses of the house.
Mr.. Pease, however, not having no.
tlced him in the division lobby, sent a
telegram to his house at seven O'Clock
in the morning. saying: Come down
at once and relieve the guard and
those at work all night"
The member turned up at his own
house at eight o'clock in the morning
and expected to find a warm welcome
from his wife and family and good
deal of sympathy for having been in
the house all night
But his wife's greeting was: "Where
have YOU been?" He replied: 81 have
been at the house at an all night sit

BEAR NAMES OF GREAT MEN
Famous cosnomens Borne by Those of
Humble Occupation.

The question of what to do with our
great men after they have ceased to
hold high Office is effectively answered
in the New York city directory Accord
ing to that unimpeachable authority,
George Washington is pursuing the
humble but very useful occupation of
a barber in Harlem-and, according to
his customers, he is a good one. An

tofore been associated with notable
military achievement, follows the
peaceful calling of a nurse. Abraham
Lincoln is put down as a secretary.
William Mckinley as a publisher, and
James Madison as the secretary of an
important corporation. James Monroe
is machinist; Benjamin Harrison a
printer, William Henry Harrison a
fireman, and Andrew Johnson a sail-
maker. Thomas Jefferson is appro-

SNAKES A GENERAL NUISANCE.
Pennsylvania Farmers Seem Greatly
Bothered by the Reptiles.

George Burhen, who is building a
new house for himself on a part of his
fathers farm on German Hill, went to
refill water jug the other day that
had been left in the shade, when he
luckily espied a huge RATHER AZ inches
long and carrying Is rattles, coiled
ready for fight about the jug. George
lost no time in killing the reptile and
has preserved the skin and rattles to
verify his statement
Two young sons of George Copeland
went snake hunting at a den near
their fathers home, on Little Hickory
creek, one day recently and killed an
even dozen of rattlers before they
gave UP the battle.
Henry Amburger of Hunters Station
has been missing eggs from the nest
in his chicken coop, even a china egg
disappearing. He suspected rats or
other small animals, but the other day
when he found a dead blacksnake

egg lodged in its stomach, the great
mystery was solved.-Tionesta Nindi-

Chicken Has BED Ewes.

George Ladenburger has sure
enough curiosity in the possession of
q red-eyed chicken. 1t is not the eye
lids that are red, as might be inferred
but the eyes themselves. The eyeballs
are not bloodshot or infiamed, but are
of brilliant crystal red, while the
sights are also red, but of a darker
hue. So transparent are the eyes that
when the head of the chicken is held
between your vision and the sun it
appears as If the sun were shining
through from one eye to the other and
the head lighted up inside The chick
is as healthy ana can see as perfectly
as any in the brood.-Dover (Del.)

DEEP SORROW
Rev. Vedder, Pastor of the Audubon
VI. E. Church, Stricken with
Paralysis in South Dakota

The word came from Darlington,
North Dakota, Thursday stating that
Rev. P. V. d. Vedder, pastor of the
M. e. Church of Audubon, had been
stricken with paralysis the night be-
fore. Mrs. Nedder left the same day
and when she reached Darlington,
some of the kind people met her with
an auto and took her out to the
farm where her husband was. Very
unfortunately he had lost his speech.
The attending physician reports
Rev. Vedder improving but does not
know when he will be able to be
brought home.

A VILLAGE Powsr.

A Columbus firm had an account
against man in small country town
in Ohio, and after Intellectual attempts
to collect determined to do something
radical. So they wrote a letter to
the postmaster of the town and asked
information concerning the merchant:
what his reputation was, whether he
paid his bills and what kind of man
he was generally, and said if he was
no good to give the bill, which they
inclosed, TO the justice of the peace
for collection. The answer they got
from the postmaster took their breath
away. 1t read something like CHS:
Gentlemen: am the John Smith
about whom you are seeking informa-
ton. am also John Smith, post
master, and l am John Smith justice
of the peace. Yours very truly

Authors Who Are Giants.

Tit-Bits has recently been publishing
some facts about the stature of we'll
known English authors. In one of its
articles it says: "Of past giants in
literature in two senses of the term, we
have Thackeray, who was six feet
three inches in height Coming to the
present time, we have Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, who is six feet two
inches high, but doesn't look it on ac-
count of his stalwart build Then
there is Cutcliffe Hyne, who is six feet
three inches in height, while Hesketh
Prichard is even a shade taller Kebla

Use Electric Trucks.

Electric trucks have been introduced
by the company which controls nearly
all the docks of the Brooklyn water
front with great success. Formerly
trucks run on three wheels were used,
and these We're drawn by horses. The
matter OF transportation by this means
was always necessarily slow, and the
action of the feet of the animals tramp
ing constantly over the wood covering
of the piers made the item of repairs
very heavy one. The new trucks
carry three times as much as the
horse-drawn ones, besides reducing the

To Make Sewing Easy

A small cake of white soap kept in
the machine drawer is a great saver of
machine needles and makes sewing
easier. When thick place, such as a
crossing of two seams is reached in
stitching rub the material with the
soap, and the needle will pass through
it as if by magic without breaking or
even bending. This treatment is par
ticularly valuable when one is stitch
ing sheer lawns or mousselines and
using very fine needle.

~ overlooks the fact that 1t indorses
as candidate one man. a. r. StsIllngs,
who vO,ed to seat that delegation. II
the 1ntelligencer were true to what it
expresses as its beliefs It would round
ly denounce Stallings and certainly
would to be honest with itself tear out
his name from it's columns and fling It
so far away that 1t would never see it
any more. While bounding the state
committee and trying to defeat Swisher
because of Its antipathy toward the
committee. 1t should not overlook this
man StallinEs, who did the very thing
Of which the Intelllgencer complains
about the committee.
Stallings was one of the men who
seated the Rucker delegation and is as
much responsible for that as any other
man on the committee. Denounce him,
Ogden. or come down or your self-ex-
alted perch and confess that II Is per-
sonal and not party matter that gov
erns your actions. Honestly tell the
people that Swisher was nominated with
out your help anu In spite of your OPP
position.
The Intention of the Inteiiigencer is
also called TO the fact that three nomi-
nees for state judges were named at a
convention in which a Rucker convention
delegation took part. Why does not the
InteiliGencer demand that these three
men get on the ticket or be defeated?
Why does 1t run their names on its
ticket?
II nominee is to be condemned be-
cause the Rucker convention delegates
voted for him, why in the name Of high
heaven are not all the nominees for
which such convention delegates voted
not to be condemned? The intelllgencer
is asked to answer this question in a
way that will attach some honesty at
least
