WORK OF A BUDDING GENIUS
coupIet That Lacked Something o.
the Divine Fire, But Strikingly
Original.

The ten-year-old daughter of an art
list believes that she is destined to fill
a great place in literature, and all her
spare moments are devoted to writing
poetry about every conceivable sub
ject, according to the San Francisco
Wasp. Recently she attended her
first chruch wedding, and so filled with
inspiration was she that she imme-
diately began to write poem descrip-
tive of the event. A few days after
ward, when her mother was entertain
ing friends, the youthful prodigy asked
permission to read her poem before
the guests. Her mother humored her
with not little secret pride. Stanza
by stanza the poem progressed until
the young lady reached the point
where the description of the brides
maids was set forth. There one of
her couplets read thus:
Some had pug noses and some had
Roman,
And each wore blue ribbon about
her abdomen.

have looked healthy to the most op-
timistic of tramps. But there was a.
Pullman, and it looked nice and dark.
and so the wanderer strolled in and
hid himself.
1t was Letcher, one of the porters,
who found the visitor crouched in a
dark corner of the tiny kitchen. He
made dive for the man and got him
in clinch. Then he called his fe,.
low porter, Anderson. The two of
them had the tramp so scared that he
could hardly see by the time the
secret service men came in ana put
him under arrest.
At Bridgeport the tramp wac turned
over to the police. He tried to say
that he was a brakeman oD the New
York, New Haven & Hartford road,
but the trainmen knew better. Mr..
Taft slept right through it, and never
knew a thing about it until the next
morning.

that his curiosity about the governors

would be manifestly improper to In
trude on the governors time with

editor couldn't think of any motive
On the way to the inner office he de-

wasn't any cause for the visit, except
d small matter of editorial courtesy

The Cost of Politics.

In his "reminiscences Of Grover
Cleveland George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
lures in politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor of New York
asked William c. Whitney's advice.
This is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary
canvass, and when you have put in
100000 you will have become so
much interested in it that you will
feel like going ahead and spending
some money"

him to win his fight for the senate
against apparently overwhelming odds.
Gov Bradley talked to the boy jour-
nalist for an hour, speaking most in
terestingly on subjects that could not
fail to interest even youth that didn't
have a news instinct.
The governor described his early ex-
periences as a Republican in Demo
cratic hotbed, when to go to the polls
and vote the Republican ticket was
only one form of committing suicide.
He told how at one period of his po-
litical activity it became necessary for
all the Republicans of the town in
which he lived to fortify themselves
in a house and defend themselves
against Democratic raiders who were
thirsting for blood.
There were so many of these stories
that the hour had passed before either
the governor or his visitor knew it.,
and when the boy editor finally ex-
cused himself he carried away a pic
ture bearing the governors auto

The bear weighed 1000 pounds, and
is the finest and biggest specimen
ever seen in the Trinity mountain
