How EIvins Got to CONGRESS.

When Polite Evans made his run
for congress he adopted a unique and
novel method of getting his name be
fore the people. He sent out thou
sands of letters, on the back Of which
was a colored map of his district and
a picture of himself The body of the
letter went like this: Success in pol
itics is largely a matter of industry
I am working hard to win want
you to spend penny for me. Then
you'll be stakeholder in my boom
for congress. A penny isn't much tc
you, but it may mean a vote for me
and one vote may elect me-" Inclosed
lii the letter was a souvenir postcard,
on which he wanted the recipient tc
put a one cent stamp and send to a
friend couched in terms like "Jim,
wish you would vote for this young
fellow" or "Bill, l want you to give
this chap lift for my sake" His
method of canvass bore fruit, and
Polite was elected by 2O7 votes tc
represent the Thirteenth district Of
Missouri in the Sixty-first congress-

IDEA is TO DECEIVE SPIRIT
Reason for Queer Language Employed
by MaIayans When Gathering
camphor.

In Johore, on the Malay peninsula,
there is employed one of the strangest
languages in the world, used for
4 most curious purpose. This tongue
Is called Pantang Kapor, or "camphor
language" and is medium employed
by natives and others engaged in
gathering the product of the Malayan
camphor tree. but only when they are
at work.
1t is superstition of these natives
that should they use the language of
the district, the Malay or aboriginal
Jakun, they would be unable to obtain
their camphor.
The Malay natives firmly believe
that each species of tree has spirit
or guardian angel that presides over
Its affairs, this spirit being known by
the name of Bisan. This divinity's
resting place is near the trees. Then,
too, the spirit of the camphor tree is
held to be extremely jealous of the
precious gum, so that it becomes nee.
assary to proritiate her, inasmuch as
she would, should she learn that
hunters were in quest of it, endeavor
to interpose obstacles to their mis-.
sion. Accordingly the natives speak
in tongue that the tree spirit may
not understand. 1t was for this pur.
pose that the mysterious "camphor
language was invented, and it con.
sists of an odd mixture of Jasun and
Malay words that have been curl,
ously altered and reversed.-Harper's
Weekly.

Servants Humorous Error.

Mr.. Smith, an American traveller,
arrived one day in Berlin. On the
way he picked up smart German
as a servant. In Berlin, every one
staying at hotel is obliged to reg.
lister his rame and occupation in a
book which is kept for police exami-
nation, so Mr.. Smith told his servant
Fritz to bring this book for him to
write his name. Il have already reg.

The husband, wife and Zeb filed up

MERCY UNKNOWN TO NATURE
Life Hard ard Cruel for All the Low.
er Creatures, According to Theo.
dore Roosevelt.

In an article in Scribner's, Theo
dore Roosevelt made the following
complaint of the cruelty of nature:
Death by violence, death by cold,
death by starvation-these are the
normal endings of the stately and
beautiful creatures of the wilderness.
The sentimentalists who prattle about
the peaceful life of nature do not real
Ice its utter mercilessness; although
all they would have to do would be
to look at the birds in the winter
woods, or even at the insects on a
cold morning or cold evening. Life
Is hard and cruel for all the lower
creatures, and for man also in what
the sentimentalists call a state of
nature" The savage of today shows
US what the fancied age of gold of our
ancestors was really like; 1t was an
age when hunger. cold. violence, and
iron cruelty were the ordinary &C.
complishments of life. If Mathew
Arnold, when he expressed the wish
70 know the thoughts of earth's "vig-
orous, primitive" tribes of the past,
had really desired an answer to his
question, he would have done we'll to
visit the homes of the existing repre-
sentatives of his vigorous, primitive
ancestors, and to watch them feasting

fortnight, gave the farmer worthless

1t was week later that Mary failed
to come down to breakfast. Zeb had
been jealous of the boarder and had

For the lands sake, what is it, and

Oldest Club,

There are many chess clubs in this
city, but the one which holds the rec
ord for age is the New York Chess
club. 1t was organized in 1900, and
it's membership roll contains the
names of many of the most noted play
ers the world ever has known, many
being active members and others be-
ing in the honorary membership class.
Names also are to be found there
which have figured largely in politics,
commerce, art. letters and war. By
the same token it may be said that
