The legislation will be good and vii

Too Close For Fame.

Tie prophet who is without hon
or in his W country is a popular
hero compared with the light opera
composer in his own companies.
One girl who has sung the whole
season in two operas written by the
same man met a woman who knows
the composer.
81 am glad you are singing in an
other of Mr.. Blanks operas" said
the woman.
"Who is he?" asked the girl.
"Why, the man who wrote your
opera. He composed the one you
sang in the first part of the season,
too"
did he? ?" said the girl. "Now,
that's funny. | said to the other
girls just last night, I wonder who
wrote this lubdub, anyhow but
none of them knew. His name is
Blank, is it? I must remember
that."-New York Times.

4 CUNNING OLD RAT.
He Mastered the Trap That Was Set
20 Ensnars Him..

TO Ensnars Him.
Not long ago it became a problem
in a Brooklyn hotel how to keep
down the population of rats, which
had become so bold that they stole
from under the very noses of the
cooks. Traps and poisons were sue
cessful at first, but after a few
deaths the wary rats avoided both.
The ratcatcher was then called in,
and cats, dogs and ferrets had their
turn, but still the rats increased.
The steward bagged a few with a
small rifle, but the rats soon grew
too cautious for him. About all he
could see was the tip of a tail or two
bright eyes that disappeared as soon
as he raised his gun. Then he hit
upon another idea. He swung a lid
on a barrel with a swivel, filled the
barrel half full Of water and fas-
tened a lump of cheese in the center
of the lid. AS soon as a rat alighted
on either side of the lid, over he
would 90 into the barrel, and for a
while rats were drowned by the
dozen.
1t was at this juncture that the
rodents evidently held a council, for
the number of victims grew steadily
smaller. Sometimes in the morning
there would be two or three rats in
the barrel, oftener there were none
at all. The observant steward felt
that they we're all the time trying
to figure out how to get that cheese.
Sometimes two rats would get on
the edge of the barrel, opposite one
another, at the same time and bal
ance the lid as they crept toward
the center. This worked well until
one or the other forgot the need
for caution, when both fell in.
Finally n old rat mastered the
game. For several nights the cheese
disappeared, and there was no rat
there IN the morning to show for 1t.
One night the steward caught the
rat in the act of dropping from
some pipes right in the center Of
the lid. He balanced himself for a
moment, then quietly nibbled at the
cheese. When he had satisfied his
hunger he carefully moved off
along the line of the swivel and
dropped to the floor safe.
At this point the steward &C
~knowledged defeat. He declared
that the man who was smart enough
to defeat those rats was smart
enough to do anything.-New York

A Doubtful Member.

In Miss Woods kindergarten
class there we're eight pupils, four
girls and four boys. One of the
boys, however, had not yet reached
the estate of kits, not to mention
trousers. Accordingly when little
Susan Phelps was asked by a visitor
to tell how many boys and how
many girls there were, her confused
reasoning went as follows:
"There's eight, one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, Miss FL
lot" she replied. "And if he's a
girl"-she pointed at the one who
wore dresses instead of manly garb
-"why, then there's five girls and
one, two, three boys. But if she's a
boy, there's one, two, three, four
girls, and one, two-four boys. She's
really a boy, you know, Miss Elliot"
she confded, in conclusion

Named by Queen Victoria.

British Columbia was of all the
English colonies the most intimate
ly associated with the late Queen
Victoria. She christened it. 1t was
at first proposed to call the place
New Caledonia" but Queen Vic
toria pointed out that there was al
ready a French colony of that name
in the Pacific. She suggested "Brit-
ish Columbia" and the happy
thought became a fact. Afterward
her majesty was invited by the Brit
ish Columbians to christen their
capital, and she decided upon New
Westminster" But in after years
New Westminster was found to be
not altogether suitable for a me
tropolis, and the capital was trans
ferred to Victoria. New Westmin.

birth, is still locally known as the
"Royal City."-London Chronicle.

Playing Upon H.. Wesk Points, Gu
riosity and Cowardioe.

The superintendent of a western
geological institution has taught his
EMPLOYEES to manage animals by
indirect methods, akin to those by
which nervous children are on
trolled by wise parents. A rhinoce-
ros had an abscess in its face. The
question a Did it come from a
bad tooth. or did it only need lane
ing? The superintendent simply
said to the keeper, GIVE him a
new birch broom" The rhinoceros
at once ate it, grinding up the bits
with great gusto. "Ah, you see his
teeth are all right" said the super
intcndent, and the next day the
abscess was lanced with a sharp bill
hook.
The diagnosis was as ingenious
as his method of managing Billy, a
refractory chimpanzee. The big ape
needed exercise. This he obtained
by being allowed the run of the
large monkey house instead of re-
naming in a side room before the
visitors came. AS he knew he
would be caught and put back into
his own compartment at this hour,
the ape used to climb to the top Of
the other monkeys cages and re-
fuse to come down.
As he could not be tempted with
food, the superintendent appealed
to his mind by working on what he
had noted to be his weak points,
curiosity and cowardice.
The superintendent went to the
keeper and, touching him gently on
the shoulder, directed his attention
in IA mysterious manner to the dark
passage underneath the gas pipe
that ~traverses the house, pretend
ing to point out some horrible un-
known creature, using an energetic
manner, but saying nothing except
words to this effect: "Look out
There he is! There he is" At the
same time the two men would peer
into the dark place under the gas
pipe.
The monkey on such occasions
would come down to see what the
subject Of fear and interest was,
and just then the superintendent
and the keeper in unison would
shout, He's coming out, he's COM
ing out" and would rush away in
the direction of Billy. cage. The
monkey would dash for the same
place of safety, which happened to
be the door of his own house, and
sometimes enter it before them.
The monkey has never learned
the deception, but is taken in by it
whenever the time comes to finish
his mornings airing.-Chicago Rec
Ord-Herald.

Details of the organization of the

Colonel George i. Cooke of the Twenty
second infantry, at Fort Lawlon, were
received yesterday by Captain j. e.
Leary of Fort Casey, who has been as
signed Judge. advocate to Try. the ease.
The principal charge against Liea-
tenant Colonel Cooke concerns the loss
of $l1,0 900 at Fort Gibbons, Alaska,
three years ago. At that time Colonel
Cooke was paymaster at Fort Gibbons
and $1,000 was sent to him to pay
the soldiers stationed there. Before
pay day arrived Private Lane, Colonel
Cooke s clerk, deserted, and at tho same
time the mouey disappeared Neither
Private Ian. nor the money has ever
been found. a courtmartial was held
without result
Colonel Cooke was retired at his own
request, The matter was not droppuG,
though. and recently q courtmartial was
orga nizcd to try Colonel Cooke,
