Dora was stupid, but she had one
redeeming quality; she was sympa-
thetic. At. any rate. that was what
the old boarders told the woman
who writes, and 1t was what she
learned for herself on the fifth day
of her sojourn in the boarding
house. For four consecutive morn
ings Dora had seen the woman
scribbling away at a furious pace
Finally even her dormant faculties
were impressed by such literary ac-
tivity.

SILENCED THE ROwDY.
Happy Retort of a Politician Which
Won Him a Majority.

Judge Emory Speer, who presides
over the United States Circuit and
District Courts for the Southern
District of Georgia. and whose de-
cisions in peonage cases heve recent
ly attracted wide attention through
out the country, is the possessor of
a nimble and facile wit. In earlier
days. before he had attained the err
mine, Judge Speer was a politician
and power on the stump.
Shortly after reconstruction he
ran against Allen d. Chandler for
Congress. 1t was his wit, his good
humor, and his unfailing courage
that carried him through the cam
paign without a serious difference.
and finally brought him to victory.
On one occasion when the young
candidate was addressing very
democratic and hostile audience, a
brawny countryman was observed
fighting his way through the crowd
to the speakers rostrum. 1t was
evident that he had spent the pre-
ceding night with John Barleycorn,
for his clothes were rumpled, his
hair dishevelled. and his face Of
fiery red that rivalled the MONDAY
sun in brilliancy. Shaking a bellig-
erent fist under the nose of the ora
tor, he exclaimed:
Sir, you are a demagogue!"
The crowd howled, but Speer was
not disturbed He waited for the
noise to subside and then, with a
smile and in tone of entire good
humor rejoined:
And you, sir, II you would wrap
few wisps of straw about you,
would be demijohn."
The delighted audience roared
with appreciative laughter and the
discounted patriot skunk away. 1t
is said that in no voting precinct of
the district was Speer's majority
larger than that in which this happy
retort was made.

PRIMITIVE ANIMALS RETURN.
Creatures Of Which kansans Thought
They Were Rid Again Found.

Some time ago Kansas newspapers
printed line or two about the discov-
cry of white weasel at Oak Mills.
adding that white weasels are ex-
tremely rare. Lewis and Clark, in
1904, in the journal of their famous
expedition, speak of having procured
from an Indian on the Missouri "a
weasel which was perfectly white ex.
cept the extremity of the tail, which
was black" Perhaps this weasel was
the progenitor of the Oak Mills ami
NAL. BY the way. it seems that Kan
sas Is coming back to its primitive
condition again. especially as regards
wild animals.
Many wild creatures that were
thought to have long since disap.
peared from our soil are making their
appearance again. says the Kansas
City Journal. A little more than a
year ago paroquet was killed on the
Remsburg farm, east of Potter. Paro
Quets swarmed In this locality in the
early days.

Signs on the Links.

An Irishman was walking along
a road, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, when he was suddenly
struck between the shoulders by a
golf ball. The force of the blow
almost knocked him down. When
he recovered he observed a golfer
running toward him.
Are you hurt?" said the player.
why didn't you get out of the
way?"
An why should l get out Of the

there were any assassins around

LEEcHES OF PALESTINE.
Menace to Health and Even Life
Found at Pools and Springs.

round at Pools and Springs.
Leeches are common in the springs
and wells of Palestine, and especially
SO in Galille and Lebanon. In 1907
they were so numerous during the
summer and autumn months that
nearly all the horses and mules suf.
fered from bleeding at the mouth. In
some places they were got rid Of by
placing fish in the springs.
The drinking water used in the
house is generally harmless, owing to
the practice of filterlng the water
through a piece of muslin. which is
done by the water carriers In filling
the pitchers. On the other hand the
thirsty agricultural laborer is more ex-
posed to the danger, especially when
he drinks in the evening or during
the night.
The leeches generally attach them
selves inside the mouth in the larynx
and oesophagus, but Mr.. Masterman
is convinced they are killed as soon
as they reach the stomach. At any
rate no special symptoms have been
remarked in the case of persons who
have swallowed them entirely. When
the leeches are very numerous, and
Mr.. Masterman observes as many as
three dozen on the same person, they
may be found in the nostrils and are
especially frequent in the larynx.
The presence Of the leeches is in
dicated by slight but persistent hemor-
rhages in the mouth and nose, their
intensity varying naturally with the
number Of the parasites, and in Ger,
tain cases they may bring about seri-
GUS anaemia and even death.

Spiritual.

In making sharp turn, the rear
end of street car struck an express
wagon laden with jugs of whisky.
Nearly all the jugs were precipitated
to the pavement, with the natural
disastrous result. The driver of the
wagon alighted, and, pointing to the
pile of demolished earthenware, said
to a bystander, That's hell, amt
it,"
The spectator, who happened to
be minister, replied. We'll. my

HE WANTED TO BE ON TIME
But II Is Probable Mrs. Blank Had
Something 10 Say to Him
That Night.

He was a very busy man, and, like
all of his kind, he hated to waste time
by unnecessary waiting. That was
why in the midst of his correspond
ence, along about II o'clock the other
morning, he paused, and, turning to
his secretary, requested him to ring
up his residence on the phone.
"Jemmison," he said, "get my house
an the wire and ask Mrs. Blank to
come to the phone Just tell them
that l wish to speak to her"
The secretary made off, and in a
few minutes the required connection
was made.
rs that you, Mary?" he said.
YES" was the answer.
well, this is John," he said. II
have just rung you up to tell you that
Barker was in here this morning with
two tickets for the theater tonight.
He and Mrs. Barker have been called
suddenly out of town, and he thought
we might like to use the tickets. How
about it?"
Fine" replied Mrs. Blank. 81 have
nothing else to do"
''All right. my dear" continued
Blank The curtain rises at $780,"
Yes, I know" said Mrs. Blank.
q thought I'd let you know in time,
so that directly you have had your
lunch you can begin to put your hat
on" he went on. Then we can get
there before the middle of the first
act. By-by, dear"
The only answer was an angry
click at the other end of the wire,
which seemed to indicate that another
