Colonel J. +. Barton, who died in
Alabama in 1897. was famous years
ago in the middle west as an editorial
writer of great power and versatility.
The queer thing about him was that
his normal penmanship looked almost
like copperplate-a beautiful flowing
script. But let him get excited or
hurried and 1t doubled discounted the
excited chicken tracks on Cleopatra's
Needle. One night a tramp printer
drifted into a western Office where the
colonel was In charge and applied fos
a job. The foreman put him to work,
and he pegged along ali right until
Just before the hour for going to press.
when Barton sent in a hurry up ed

Nearly all the printers had left, SO the
new man got a piece Of the copy, a
page from about the middle. He car
ried it to his case, looked at it frown-
it again and finally put it in position
before him and began to scratch up

next morning. When the colonel him
self recovered sufficiently to get g
club and dash down to the Office the
tramp printer had vanished.

At the Murray.


The management of The Murray the

deville bill that is sure to break all
previous house attendance. For many
weeks an endeavor has been made to
secure the famous Rennee family and
they have at last been obtained and

This family consists of father, moth :

He Knew the Reason.

A rather pompous looking deacon in
a certain city church was asked to
take charge Of class Of boys during
the absence Of the regular teacher.
While endeavoring to impress upon
their young minds the Importance Of
living a Christian life the following
question was propounded:
"Why do people call me Christian,
children?" the worthy dignitary asked,
standing very erect and smiling down
upon them.
Because they don't know you," was
the ready answer Of a bright eyed lit.

smile with one equally guileless and

Needed the Prayers.

A sympathetic old clergyman In an
English country village was waited
on one Sunday morning just before
service by a young man, who said:
"Will you kindly ask the congrega.
William Smith,
"Willingly," said the clergyman.
And at the proper moment in the
service he besought all those present
to pray earnestly for the unfortunate
William Smith in the great trouble
and peril that encompassed him. The
request, he was pleased to note, made
a deep impression on the congregation.
After the service, meeting the young
man who had asked for intercession
In Smiths behalf, the clergyman said:
what is the matter with your
friend? Do you think it would do
any good If were to call on him?"
I'm afraid not" was the sorrowful
reply.

gyman. what is the trouble, them"

 A Horses Toe Nails.

Few persons realize that horses hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ani- mals having toes. The horn of hoof grows just as toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than ia those wearing shoes. and it grows faster in horses which are well groomed and we'll fed. But on an average the horn grows about a third of an inch month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, 1t takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel For in- stance, the toe will grow entirely down In from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut off, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

Whistler as Letter Writer.

Early MT. Whistler as letter writer became a parsonage to be reckoned with. His pen was very frequently dipped in gall. but it Is joy to read him, with his very delightful personal style No one ever wrote quite like him Hamerton, with whom he had many passes, always to the critics great discomflture, once, in reviewing hls symphony Tn White." stupidly called attention to the fact that there were many other tints in the picture besides white There was, he main tained, the reddish hair of the woman, for instance; her flesh color, bit of blue ribbon, and so on. Whistler re- sponded: Bon Dieu, did this wise per son expect white hair and chalked faces? And does he then. In his as founding consequence, believe that a symphony in F contains no other note, but shall be a continued repetition of F F r F?

Ancient Skates.

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth Il century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air, but the origin of skating Is far more an- cient. An Ieelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only traced verses upon the polished mirror, but also cut the dear name of Inge- bord Skates have been discovered near Spandau, in Germany. which those to express an opinion at- tribute to a. period of 5000 years ago. These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and perforated to at- tach to the sandal. Similar skates have been found at Moorhelds, in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree These and similar discoveries, we learn. enable the authorities to con- clude that the European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary y.-London Globe.

Pretty Absentminded.

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among it's anec- dotes two which deal with Hookham m Frere and the absentmindedness for which he was noted. Frere married Lady Errol, and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took her back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from the church to Mr. Murray, the pub fisher, who asked him to stay to din- ner. to which he very nearly agreed, remembering only just in time that Lady Errol was waiting to start on the honeymoon"
