The National tribune., 1909-10-21

Admiral Schley concluded, II am sur,
that it would uphold its traditions in al
ways"
Representative Longworth went homt
last week to make some speeches in the
municipal campaign. and was welcomed
| to the city by Constable Brown, whC
served papers on him in a suit fol
$53.75 for automobile hire. Representa-
| tive Longworth was naturally stumped
for he does not know anything about
any such bill, and it is probably some
other L.ongworth or somebody who has
been preying upon Representative Long.
Worth'S name.
Mr.. WI Again.
You never can be sure lust what
Minister Wu is going to do next, and
that's no joke. MIR. WI is the Chinese
big and fat and jolly before he "eot
! gion," as the little black boys say;
that is. before he signed the temper
ance pledge. became a vegetarian and
gave lot of other things the go-by.
Now he is tall and thin and not half so
jolly, because he doesn't make half the
amusing speeches he used to. but he
did not give up the question habit. In
deed, Minister WI is now pretty much
N,
speak. While he isn't from Missouri,
he certainly does want to know" He
attended a Spiritualist meeting the 9TH
er night. He watched everything very
closely. When the medium signified
the willingness of the spirits to loaf
around on earth awhile M mister WI
got busy. He said he wanted to see
somebody, too. The medium finally
corraled three spirits for the Chinese
fnll ofo 1inr
on either side of him was a woman and
two children. Minister Wu glanced
around, but saw no spirits. HIS sharp
black eyes began to twinkle.
'Names?" he asked laconically.
What are the names of these spirits
which do not see?"
The medium could not tell the
names; they had not been revealed to
her. s1 rs
why do I not see these things ?"
asked Minister WI. He was told by
the medium that he was not a medium
was the reason. "Why am not one %
The medium told him she did not know.
How long have YOU been a me-
dunn ?" he asked her. And how long
have you been able to eNspir tsp
Ever since I was child so high y
she replied ig4sr se6
To this the Chinese Minister an
swered with "Humph" and a shrug of
his shoulders. %"
Then he began to ask about the wo-
man and Children. ETtWhat do they look
like What are their napes?" What
are they here for?' and so on.
The medium tried to keep up with
him, but failed. Then she saw things
some more. Two men, of high Chi
nese rank. she said. Minister WI nred
the questions III again. but the answers
we're not satisfactory. The description
of the woman and children didn't tally
with anything that he had ever seen,
and he did not know the Chinamen.
Minister WI came away unconvinced.
He says he will go again. for he GER
tainly does like to know things. ''ar7

' 'S''to Clan McGregor. toof
After two days of songs and speeches,
which recounted the stirring part the
Clan McGregor played in Scottish his
tory, the meeting of the clan in tn S city
formally adjourned. The representa-
tives of the Clan McGregor were called
together for the purpose of ascertaining
how many there were in the United
States, and there were about $50 repre-
sentatives gotten together for a three
days session at the National Hotel.
They organized themselves into a regu-
lar body, with rules and regulations and
with a full board of officers. A cable
was sent to Sir Malcolm MacGregor,
Hereditary Chief of the Clan in Scot
land, in which was the following:
American Clan McGregor sends greet

feeling"
She that was Miss Daisy Letter, of
this city, perhaps the most beautiful of
the three beautiful daughters Of the late
Levi u. Letter, is now the mother of a
third son. AS the Countess of Suffolk
at Kildermorle, where her husband, the
Earl, resides, the Countess is very much
loved by the people, and this third son
has been received with great Joy, in
view of the fact that little Lord And
over, the first son. who is only about
three and one-half years old, Is some
what delicate in health. The beaut full
little lad might not live to take his place
in the peerage. and so it is with pleas
ure that the friends of Miss Letter learn
that her children have now three
chances for receiving their fathers hon
ors.

What Man Can Live On.
Just now there is an awful lot of dis
cussion about how much food it takes
to sustain life, and at the same time
give strength for a good deal of hard
work. OF course. there is now a we'll
defined theory that everybody eats too
much, and that we would all be very
much better off if We alto considerably
less than we do. Very naturally. the
first person to turn to in a discussion of
this character would be Dr. Harvey w.
Wiley, the Governments food expert.
Now, you know. DIR. WILEY is himself a
