shape and made the old beast squm In three addresses

the prohibition state of Kansas He challenged them to
to his state and point out to him blind anywhere
within it's borders and that if he couldn't close before
midnight that he would resign that he did not propose to
be governor the saloonkeeper bigger
than the chief executive Now if the liquor traffic doesn't
like this kind of governor and it is evident that they do
not and if they sincere they have got fine chance to
get rid of Stubb but have not heard that they have
accepted his challenge they likely to-

THEIR FATHERS.

All Three Were Trimmers, but One
 Was q Star.
 The story. long since familiar, of the little boy whose boast that his father had put Il cupola on his house was capped by his playmate. who remark ed proudly that his father had just put mortgage on theirs. Is brought to mind by an occurrence which was told the other day by prominent poll. tician.
 The small son of man who was in politics for revenue only on moving into a new district went out and struck up an acquaintance with two other kids of the same age who lived in the neighborhood. They were in- terested in the newcomer and began to try him out as to what his parents amounted to anyhow
 My father is a window trimmer and an awfully big man." said the first kid.
 "Ah, that's nothinH' said the second. My fathers a dump trimmer, and he's twice as big as yours"
 It was plainly up to the stranger to make good And he did 1t with much gusto.
 My father is a politician" he said ''but heard man tell him last night that he was the biggest trimmer in this ward" stf
 And it was apparent to any one that the new kid had made q strong i'm pression upon the neighborhood.-New York Herald

A young man who had just gone to Philadelphia to take employment in a business house was casting about for suitable room for himself in Ger mantown when he chanced upon one in a fine house overlooking a ceme- tery.
 He was a little doubtful about the terms and more than doubtful about the cemetery.
 ,. 'Your rate is pretty high," he mur- mured hesitatingly to the landlady.
 ''But consider the cheerful view, sir" ventured the mistress of the house.
 Cheerful view!' exclaimed that ap- plicant for lodgings. 'Is that what you call a view that embraces a grave yardY'
 "Why, certainly" was the response. "Just think how comfOrtin' and cheer in' 1t will be when you "look out of your window and think you're mot therew ew-Cincinnati Commercial Trib- UD0

Odd French EnnIisIa.

A correspondent has been studying English pronunciation in a French dic- tionary (Pierre Larousee. 189O and picks out few examples to show how much effort is necessary for French man to acquire a true articulation of English. They are all taken from surprisingly long list of English phrases current in France. Broken down" Gas applied to a race hOrse) is ''bro-k'n-daoun." Dead heat" is rem dered as ''did-hith," which is ingenious, but hardly correct. "Ai-laif" is not 8 bad attempt for "high life," although the aspirate is missing. Self govern ment" looks an even more imposing political ideal as ''self gheuvernmentt," {" and the word shocking" is quite ap- plicable when rendered "chok-inn-que." 1" The opening words of Hamlet's fa- nous soliloquy have a decidedly for eign look, ''Tou bi or mott tou bi, that is thi kouess-tcheunn."- ."-Manches- ter Guardian.

 "Agreed," exclaimed the farmer, and he received a check for the full amount.
