A Bogus Bears Ham.

Sir Richard Owen, the eminent anat-
omist. often had his skill in identify
ing bones tested. On one occasion his
friend and neighbor, Lord John Rus
sell. sent him a specimen for this pur.
pose. and the professor quickly pro-
nounced it the thigh bone of a pig.
This explanation Of the query was
subsequently offered by Lord John:
President Buchanan had sent from
America to the English statesman the
present of "a choice bears ham, and
the family had breakfasted off it sew
eral times with much enjoyment.
Somehow or other, however, suspicion
was aroused, and the bone was sent
to their scientific neighbor, with the
result stated."-Pall Mall Gazette.

But. then, everything lately had
been a dream-his weird experiences
in New York. the absence of replies
from his mother and the London bank

coming of the telegram from Jack
Jacobus, accepting the very modest

bundled half dazed out Of the local
train he had boarded some hours ago,
the dream suddenly grew more bewil-
dering that yer.
What a contrast was this little coun-

Grand Central in New York!
Through an open door of the passen-
gers waiting room Loveland caught a
glimpse of a squat stove rising like a
fat bodied gray dwarf from a big box
of sawduSt. and Il a who had been
warming his hands came out of the
room as the train stopped. He was
fifty, perhaps, and tall. with a swag-
gering walk, which caused the shabby
fur lined coat he wore to swing like
the skirt of a woman's dress as he
moved forward. He had on patent
leather boots, cracked with old age
and caked with new mud.

The Protuauese Rebanadas.

the rebanadas. 1t is of Moorish origin

Some of our readers might
think we were somewhat of a
booster ourselves when we
speak Of Williamson prosperity,
but this would hardly be fair. for
we are rather modest and guard
ed IN our statements. tits really
the natural conditions Of the
bracing atmospere herealouts
and the genial hospitality and
contentment' of our people that
stimulates us to make few re-
marks occasionally about the
numerous advantages that clus-
ter around this immediate Vicin-
ity. We never say the half that
ought to be published about this
region Of plenty and the good
qualities of human beings which
we have slowed away along the
borders Of the steady flowing Tug
river. It is just the association
with these good people that
makes US somewhat enthusiastic
at times and prompts us to speak
of what the future has in store
for this favored cline.

LESS POLITICS; MORE BUSINESS.
Look to the Best Interests Of the
Community and Reason Together.

We believe thatour people gem
orally are getting closer together
on local political grounds. We
want to counsel more moderation
and reasoning along these lines.
In discussing the matter with our
leading citizens we find that there
is a feeling of more moderation
existing among all classes for a
more conservative method in our
local political affairs. There is
no better time than now to dis
|cuss these matters and arrange
to prevent the local political strife
Of the past. Our town and coun-
try has suffered ID the past BY
these local political contentious
and if we would all strive for a
better feeling we should all be
benefited in the future. A com
munity divided among them
selves cannot expect to prosper
as though they were all pulling
together in one common effort to
reconcile differences by reason
ing each the other. Alittle more
reason please, less politics and
more business.

prise shown in the South and by the

the Buffalo IN. " News OF recent
date says editorially:
Nothing illustrates the enterprise
Of the South more than that activity Of
its boards Of Trade, Its railway indus
trial bureaus and other such organi-
cations created to show the enormous
business advantages that are open in
that part Of the Union. It IS we'll
known that no other part Of civiliza-
ton has made greater progress in the
last 20 years than that which in gem
erai way Is called the South. The
revelation of its wealth and resources,
the experience of its usual delightful
climate, the variety of soil, the treas
ures OF iron and coal as we'll as of
other minerals, have become known, to
the effect that, by the coolest of fig
ures, the South has made greater
gain than any other equal area Of ter
ritory in the range Of civization.
1.-THE special points made by many,
Of the articles sent out is that South
ern people who have been elsewhere
are coming back South because they
find there attractions which long lay
unnoticed and they are also bringing
back with them many others from all
parts of the country, introducing a
greatly needed capital and labor TO
[deyelop the measureless resources Of
that splendid land. ]"
