An Idle Boaster.

A most beautiful rainbow was light
ing up the skies. Gold, crimson, pur-
pie, every lovely tint, was comprised
In it's arch. from the deepest to the
most delicate hues.
Every one admired 1t. Most Of all 1t
admired itself.
81 am handsome" it said-"more
beautiful, far handsomer than the sun,
for bright as he Is he has but one col
or, and l have many"
The monarch of the skies heard this
boast and smiled quiet smile. Then,
hiding his beams in Il cloud, he con
cealed himself for an instant.
Where was the rainbow?
1t had disappeared. 1t had forgotten
that only by the reflection of the sun
could 1t exist And so it Is with vain
and conceited folks who forget by
whose favor they live. whose hand has
made them prosperous and by whose
grace alone they are permitted to en-
joy those gifts the possession of which
makes them coucelted and proud.

Uncle Joe's DAUGHTER Popular.

While the insurgents are lighting to
drive Uncle Joe Cannon from the
speakership Of the house Of represent
atives, their wives would feel very
sorry to have Uncle Joe driven from
Washington. They are fond of Helen
Cannon, the speakers daughter, and
they frankly confess they do not wish
to lose such a charming woman. OF
course the wives of the insurgents
sympathiZe with their husbands and
want to see them victorious. but they
like Miss Cannon as n hostess. The
speakers daughter has been one of the
most modest and yet charming enter
tainers in Washington for several sea-
sons. She has managed to avoid all
political disputes that sometimes get
the women into Disbursements and has
been as cordial to the wives OF the in
surgents as to the wives Of the stand

Facts About the
Fishes That Fly.

The wings of two known kinds Of
flying fish are the pectoral fins grown
TO an enormous size, says st. Nicholas.
The kind commonly seen is called the
flying herring and resembles the gar
pike. They do not move these fins
when flying, but seem rather to float
on the wind, such flight sometimes eX-
tending in calm weather TO n distance
of more than an eighth of mile.
When they come on board ship their
coming IS supposed to be caused by
air currents which the wind makes as
It strikes against the side of the YES
sci and which lift the fish above the
deck. Some observers say that it can
change the direction of its flight at
will. but It is probably at the mercy
OF the wind. The fish are supposed to
leave the water TO escape a hungry
enemy.

the sentiment of the assembled news
paper men that 1t would be we'll to
have the association represented by a
delegation at the next meeting of the
state Legislature, to consult with mem
bers of the Legislature in reference to
proposed laws affecting the interests OF
newspaper men. The matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee
which vas authorized to take such
steps in the matter as the committee
deemed necessary.
About rs new members were added
during one of the sessions, which is the
largest number ever added at a single
meeting of the association.
