KILLED THE BILL.
De Cosmos Talked II TO Death IN
Twenty-siS Hours.


Mr.. De Cosmos, member Of the
legislature of British Columbia, GER
tainly deserved the medal for lung
power, and he won it seemingly in a
good cause and at grave risk to him
self. The chamber was considering
bill that would drive many settlers
from their homes, and there was a
sufficient majority to pass it. The
end Of the session was only a day
and two hours distant AT noon on
the morrow the house must close its
business. De Cosmos was desperate.
He must stop the bill, and there was
only one way to do it. He would
have to speak right on till the end
of the session and prevent a divi-
sion being taken.
1t was 10 o'clock in the morning
when he rose to "make few re-
marks in regard to the measure be-
fore the house" Eleven o'clock
came, noon, l o'clock, and still De
Cosmos talked. Members in a spirit
of jest omitted to adjourn for lunch
in order to see how long he would
keep going. The afternoon waned,
the sun went down and lamps were
lit, but De Cosmos never faltered.
The situation was becoming seri-
Gus. He certainly held the floor
and seemed likely to keep it. All
sorts of plans were tried to get him
to stop, but eloqucnce poured from
him as water from a mountain
spring. lie was not allowed to halt
for food, though he was permitted
to drink
The speaker insisted on keeping
to the question before the house
and objected to him repeating him
self. Through the watches Of the
night De Cosmos toiled on and sue
cessfully evadcd all traps Of "order."
He went manfully on with his
speech as the dawn broke, kept up
a slow pace as the breakfast hour
arrived and was still speaking as
the clock slowly approached the
hour of II.
On the last stroke of that hour he
stopped in the middle of a sentence
and fell to the floor. For twenty-six
mortal hours he had stood on the
floor and addressed the house and
had nearly killed himself in doing
it. The excitement had kept him
up till the end, but when the de-
sired result was achieved his facul-
ties gave way, and it was several
days before he recovered. But the
bill was blocked, and the settlers
kept their homes.-Pearson's Week

ROSE Tc THE OCCASION.
A Polite Elephant and a Ready Wittsd
Snowman.

That everything should be in its
own place is matter not only Of
convenience. but of necessity for
: some people and some animals, as
the following examples from John
Augustus Q'Shea's Leaves From
the Life of Special Correspond
ent" go to prove. Certain orders
of intellect run smoothly in accus-
toned grooves, but have no ability
to meet any unusual occasion. The
author describes a visit to a travel
ing menagerie.
The Snowman was repeating his
lesson like a schoolboy. He was en-
larging on the pecuiarities Of The
ostrich of Africa, upon the uncanny
form Of which the visitors were sup
posed to be gazing
"But, my friend" | remarked in
an undertone to that functionary,
"that is not the ostrich of Africa !;
that is the pelican of Australia"
They're always playing jokes on
meW exclaimed the Snowman plain
lively. "How can a cove tell which
is which if they goes on a-changing
of the cages when his back is turn
ed?"
In the other instance of the value
of order it was the animal which
was not equal to the emergency.
The Snowman rose superior to such
slight vicissitudes of fortune.
In the illness of the regular show
man a substitute was furnished with
a piece of paper setting forth the
elephants tricks.
"The behemoth will now walk
around tho ring on three logsl"
shouted the Snowman.
Behemoth did as ordered, and the
audience applauded.
"The behemoth will now stand
on his hind legsv The elephant
performing his tasks faithfully.
At last a mistake was made in the
order. Throwing his whip on the
ground, the Snowman announced
that the behemoth would now lift
the whip with his trunk. Nothing
of the kind happened. The ele-
phant began moving around the
ring backward. A negro attendant
whispered TO the Snowman:
That's his next numberw
The Snowman was equal to the
occasion and said
ladies and gentlemen, my ia
voritc is not backing out of his en-
'eagement, but be is more polite
than | and wishes to make his fare
well before he goes. So polished
are his manners that he retires as
he might at court and presently will
follow with the whip"

rh, Spirit Of Football Play.

We have surely improved the
spirit of play. The charge OF inter-
natio1al brutality no longer stands.
We hse shortened the period of
play ana lessened tbdEeby the
stain. The record Of the Tale-Co-
ls4ss:a game in NovemboR, 1872,
showed something either Of the way
time was Kept in those days or else
the ability of the team to Aeep GO
ing for an unlimited period. Think
of this, those Of you who feel that
two thirty-fve minute halves is al
most too long, "The first goal was
scored in fifteen minutes, the sec
ond goal took fifty-eight minutes
and the third goal forty minutes"
That fifty-eight minute goal must
have been trying on both sides. We
have also brought the playing sea-
son to an earlier ending and avoided
some of the risks of former days on
frozen grounds.-Walter Camp in
Century.
