Clark Bets on Joseph w. Fordney.

Miller, the Washington correspondent
of the Detroit News sent his paper the
following under date of May 81: Chamr
Clark, of Missouri, was speaking in the
house last Saturday afternoon on
What is Republican. He was NOV.
ed to it by the various grades of insur.
gent and near. .insurgent statements
floating about the capitol and in the
American press.
Why" he said, the devil took a
preacher to the top of hill one day
recently and told him he was the al.
mighty. The preacher doubted.
"T will prove it, said the deyil, by
doing any three things you suggest
Very well, said the preacher, re.
move that big oak Lightning struck
the tree and smashed it to splinters.
"'The preacher asked to have dis.
tant mountain removed. An earth.
quake shook it and the mountain vam-
oosed.
Finally the preacher said: Tell me
what a republican is.
THE devil then took to the tall tim
bers.
1--WE could get some light If we
could only listen to tariff debate be.
tween Senator Dolliver. of Iowa. and
Serene e. Payne, of the house. Iwould
go good ways to hear one.
But wouldn't you go farther to hear
one between Joe Fordney, of Michigan,
and Senator Beyeridge, of Indiana, y
asked Rep Scott, of Kansas.
"Yes 1 would go long ways for
that" he said. What's more, I'll ven
ture the opinion that when the debate
ended there wouldn't be republican
senator from Indiana" Clark came back.
There was great applause. 1t came
from the stand patters of the house and
the democrats.

Death from exhaustion due to burns
caused by being pushed into the fire
by her younger brother" was the YER
dict at Crewe (Eng) inquest on the
body Of f1ve-year-old Violet Capper.
The mother left a number OF little
children playing in the yard, with in
structions not to go into the house.
Scarcely had she turned her back
when Frank, aged two. got into the
house. and Violet, who followed to
bring him out, was pushed into the
fire by him. The mother said Frank
had very nasty temper. and since
the occurrence had attempted to push
one OF the other children into the fire.
The coroner said it seemed almost in.
credible. The child was too young
to be crtminally charged.
