Just before the hour for going to press,
when Barton sent in a hurry up ed
itorial based on a late news telegram.
Nearly all the printers had left, so the
new man got a piece of the copy,
page from about the middle. He car
ried it to his case, looked at it frown-
ingly, turned it upside down, looked at
it again and finally put it in position
before him and began to scratch up
type. Read that in your sticksY'
yelled the foreman. sWe. amt got
time for proofsT' And when the new
man carried his matter over it was
dumped into the forms without fur
ther ceremony.
What he had set up ran about like
this: "The merchant who wrote the
copy I have before me is responsible
for my fate. No human being can
read it. He cannot read it himself.
Tonight 1 shall jump a freight and as
1 am somewhat shaky from recent
jags will probably fall off and be
killed. My blood be on his head"
This remarkable paragraph, appear
ing without rhyme or reason in the

astOnished the readers of the paper
next morning When the colonel him
self recovered sufficiently to get a
club and dash down to the Office the
tramp printer had vanished.

Too Rare.

A party of fasteners went bear

got no bear on the hunt, and Pete
grieved terribly.

would say as he pitched into a cold
can of preserved meat, ''but the finest
meal in the world in my opinion, is a
bear steak grilled to a turn over log
fire."
Gimme bear" Pete growled one
day. Gimme q good bear brile. I'm
gettin' sick of this canned stuff"
"Look outr' cried a neighbor
'There's a bear right behind you

Pete gave one look. 1t was a bear,
sure enough. He turned very pale and
bounded off into the woods.

said sarcastically to him on his return.

paper man, Il wanted an interview
with a senator who was visiting in a

that he had failed to get the interview
because the senator had taken a train
for Washington and that we might
catch him ourselves when the train

searching a time table, 1 found that
the train mentioned was due in a few

A rather pompous looking deacon in
a certain city church was asked to

the absence of the regular teacher.
While endeayoring to impress upon
their young minds the Importance Of
living a Christian life the following
question was prOpounded:
''Why do people call me a 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
tie boy, responding to the ingratiating
smile with one equally guileless and

Needed the PRAYERS.

A sympathetic old clergyman in an
English country village was waited
oE one Sunday morning just before
service by a young man, who said:
'Will you kindly ask the congrega-
TONS prayers this morning for poor
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 1 were to call on him?"
I'm afraid not" was the sorrowful
reply.

gyman. What is the trouble, then?'

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Peonage,

prisoners.
The magazine says the news was
never before reported to this coun-
try. because Diaz controls the news

Turner says he found Mexico a
country with constitution and
laws as fair as our country, but
neither in operation. There Is no
political party. the president ruling
everything with the standing army.
The public school system in vast
country districts is aDOllSned, De-

at Yucatan on the penequen sisil
hemp plantations.
He says 5000 Yaqui Indians have
been imported from Sonora, 800
Chinese and 100000 native Mayas,

declares that when a man is seized
for debt his family becomes slaves.
He is paid his living expenses, but
the original debt never. decreases.
The debt Is transferred from father

OR COOK AS He APPEARED ON HIS RETURN TO THE WORLD
BY CHARLES p. STEWART.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept.
4.-Dr. Frederick Cook, who says
he reached, and who probably did
reach, the north pole, is as homely
man as anyone would be likely to
meet ON a month travel.
Take the pictures that were pub
lished of him the day following the
famous dispatch sent by Captain
Thorsen of the Hans Edge from the
Shetland islands, announcing DR..
Cooks discovery.
These pictures show him tall,
scholarly appearing man. whose
neat Van Dyke adds to his elegance
and quiet dignity. M
But the real DR.. Cook is much
different. or less than ordinary
height, he is not exactly fat, but
very broad and deep chested. He
wore his hair long and stubby,
inch long beard when he landed in
Copenhagen. Three hours later,
with his hair cut, the beard shorn
and his whisk broom like yellow
mustaeh trimmed, the doctors face
appeared broad and flat, with pro-
jecting under lip.
In fact, he wouldn't make a bad
looking Eskimo, except that he Is
rather too big and considerably
cleaner than most natives of the
arctic zone.
One of his teeth. pretty well
toward the front, Is missing and
the slight droop Of the lower lip.
and the stubbiness fthe mustach
behind which the lost incisor ought
to be. makes the hole show up like
lighthouse in fog.
