on the slopes of Burnt Ridge. they hesitated.
The female, though the more deadly in the
persistence of her hate, was at the same time
the more sagacious. First of all, she wanted
to recover her cubs. No mere vengeance

Shrank back into deeper cover and started
off to one side to skirt the dangerous open.
But, noticing that her mate was not follow

The male, more ImpetuOuS and more bent
upon mere revenge, showed himself for a mo-
ment beyond the fringe of the woods In that
one moment, though it was impossible that
he should have detected the man in his hiding
across the open. he nevertheless seemed To-
receive some impression from the mans chal-
longing eyes. He felt that his enemy was
there, in that dense Clump of young frs. In

IRON MAN WALKS"
TO WORK AND BACK

NEW YORK, Sept 9-Charles
Guest Norris, an English engineer, is
over here with a new Iron man
which he has invented.
He calls 1t an iron man. because
il can walk" II is said to be great
invention. but aside from walking II
has no resemblance to a man.
II will walk around the corner with
dozen tons Of tools and machinery.
1t has four legs, and will walk in
water as well as on ground. When
stationary, the back forms a level
platform from which work may be
done.
The walking is accomplished by
two frameworks. one within the
other, each having four legs. One
frame slides forward and the legs
are lowered. Then the legs OF the
other frame are lifted up and that
frame, or platform. slides forward and
the legs rest again on the ground.
And so, ad infinitum.

Story of Cor1kling Speech

in it Conkling ventured to allude to
Mr.. Curtis as man mflliner."
The last sentence OF the speech de-
livered without so much as the slip of
single word, Conkling turned to one
of his confdants.
/ have a little favor which | should
like you to do for me tomorrow" he
said. i should be pleased if you would
procure for me a bottle of champagne.
Have it put in cooler in convenient
place in the wings of the platform
Procure, also, cut glass pitcher and
tumbler, similar to those with which
public speakers are provided and from
which they are accustomed to drink
occasional sips of water.
Having done this await the moment
of my introduction to the convention
by the chairman. Then decant the con-
tents of the bottle into the pitcher and
wait until the foam has subsidized. Then
walk on to the stage and place the
pitcher and tumbler upon the table in
front of me. AS | deliver my address
| will quaff the contents occasionally,
to moisten my lips. To the onlOoEers
the champagne will appear to be wa
ter, but, think, with its help will be
able to say what l have to say in the
manner in which l purpose saying it."
Scarcely had the pitcher and the &C
companying tumbler been placed upon
the table next day, as per program,
when Senator Conkling, who was no
torious for his abstemiousness, walked
impressively up to the table, slowly
poured out half a tumbler full of the
champagne. so that there would be no
bubbling, and took a few sips. Then,
turning to the great audience before
him, he began in these words:
1T was a wise woman, a very wise
woman, who was accustomed to say
she had observed that, if she lived
through the month of February, she
lived through the remainder of the
year"
For about an hour and a half follow
ing the delivery of this extraordinary
eXordium of a speech which has become
historic, Senator Conkling held his
audience as only master orator can.
Occasionally he stopped and took a
brief sip from the tumbler, refilIing it
carefully whenever he had emptied it.
And when the last sentence of his sen
sational speech had been spoken there
remained not a drop of that quart of
champagne in pitcher or lumber With
its help. as he had planned, he had
dashed his political enemies as they
had never Leen dashed before.

SAID BY THE YOUNGSTERS
Some Bright Remarks Worth Pre-
serving, That Have Fallen From
Childish Lips.

A little girl, after listening to the
hymn, In heaven there stands an
ever open door," remarked that there
must be two heavens, "'cause grand
mad never had any open door where
she is" And a dear little country
laddie, visiting city Sunday school
and hearing about the many man
sions" of the better land later ex-
planned that they had been studying
all about Paradise Flats"
Ecclesiastical modes and matters
frequently are puzzling to the little
ones. A small Chicago citizen was ia
ken to a fine church, where the music,
windows, furnishings, and all aces
series were as impressive as the build
ing. The minister, living up to his
enyiable reputation as an orator, in
dulged in brilliant rhetorical flight.
Il know" he declared, who gilds
/ the sun and silvers the stars and
paints the flowers and tints the sky
and lends to the rivers their beauty,
to the ocean its glory, to the skies
their perfect light" and so on through
long and effective periods. Finally
came the interrogatory climax: who
is it, my friends, who performs all
these wonders? Who is it? Who?"
From the front pew where the baby
listener had been all eager attention
came a shriu, disappointed pipe:
You said you knew!"

Martin Van Buren's Rules

have always endeavored to observe
them faithfully from the day that l
formulated them, and if ever you are
seized with ambition to hold public
Office, I would recommend them to
you for adoption, as I have to some
of my Office holding friends.
The first of the rules I have
steadfastly followed is never to per
nit myself to harbor any personal or
political resentments. 1t is a very
dangerous thing to harbor q resent
ment CT this sort 1t will warp
mans judgment. 1t will cause him to
say and do things that will almost
certainly be flung in his face later on,
to his certain discomfort and probable
defeat. 1t will make needless politi-
cal sores that will run for years.
My second rule is this: Never
write a letter discussing important
matters, political or business, if it
can possibly be avoided 1t is better
to take long journey, and submit
to all the discomforts thereof and
the loss of time incident thereto, so
that you may talk face to face with
your man, rather than write a letter
to him. No one can ever tell to what
use a letter may be put. or how it
may be construed. This rule l have
followed as religiously as l have the
first, and l am certain that such po-

Attack on President Hayes and John
Sherman Rehearsed TO Friends
and Delivered With the Help
of Pitcher Of Champagne.

In the summer Of 1877 President
Hayes removed Chester A Arthur,
Alonzo B. Cornell and George H.
Sharpe from the Office, respectively, Of
collector, naval officer and surveyor of
the port of New York The beheading
of this trio Immediately created a fac
tiOnal split in the Republican party.
Roscoe Conkling was the senior sena-
tor from New York, and he assumed
the leadership of the faction called the
stalwarts, which took up the cudgeis
of political revenge against President
Hayes and his secretary of the treas
ury, John Sherman.
The Republicans were to hold a
state convention in Rochester in mid
September of II. 1t was decided by
Senator Conkling and Senator Thomas
c. Plat that at this convention def
ance should be hurled at all those with
in the state who stood with President
Hayes and Mr.. Sherman. 1t was also
the real but unacknowledged purpose
of Senator Conkling to begin at that
time organizing the state with a view
to sending the New York delegation to
the Republican national convention of
1880 pledged to support a third nomi-
nation for General Grant. President
Hayes was to have many friends at
this convention and they were to be
under the leadership of the famous au-
thor and editor, George William Cur
tbs.
On the evening before the conven-
ton was organized Senator Conkling
met few personal friends in his
rooms in the Rochester hotel at which
be was stopping.
Gentlemen" he said, without any
preliminaries, 1T has become known
to me that George William Curtis is to
speak tomorrow after his manner in
defense of the man in the White
House and his secretary OF the treas
ury. I am familiar with the habit Of
thought and the method of utterance
Of the man from Staten Island l shall
say something in reply. l should like
now to say to you tonight what l shall
say TO him and his followers tomorrow :"

Manaqinq q Husband.

Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think So No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! 1t is an art so subtle, so elu-
sive, that few women understand even
the rudiments Of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there is
a spark of the divine; it is yours to
fan that spark into a fiame-that is
managing man-it is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing a man-to
bring out the best is high vocation
Only let us see TO it that we are
worthy of it. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost of their own divinity. There is
