according to the Detroit Free Press

Once, in the Illinois legislature,
there were two men, Montague Harrf-
son ard Harrison Montague. The
first was very short, the second verv
tall; but the speaker. during debate,
once addressed the former as the lat
ter.
He recovered himself, however,
quickly. He said, with a chuckle:
Tt is strange that I should take
Harrison Montague for Montague HaI-
rison-that should make such a mis- :
take as that-for there is rs great diff
ference between you two gentlemen as
there is between a horse chestnut and
a chestnut horse"

A Sally From the Motorman,

A Washington street car was get
ting under way when two women,
rushing from opposite sides of the
street to greet each other, met right
in the middle of the car track and In
front of the car. There the two
stopped and began to talk. The car
stopped, too, but the women did not
appear to realize that it was there.
Certain of the passengers, whose heads
were Immediately thrust out of the
windows to ascertain what the trouble
was, began to make sarcastic re-
marks, but the two men needed them
not.
Finally the motorman showed that
he had a saving sense Of humor,

quired, in the gentlest of tones:

you a couple of chairs ?"-Exchange

ears, mouth, pockets and shoes, Jo-
seph Patrick, 10 years old, of Mon

of a freight car on the Long Island
railroad as the train stood i'll tile
Brooklyn yards.
The man had been three days in
car filed with oats. To hold off star
walton he ate oats. 1t was dry diet
and the first thing he did when found
was to gasp for drink of water. In
his three days ride he had not dared
to sleep, for the shifting of the oats in
the car threatened him with suffoca-
ton and he had to be on the alert con-
stantly against the sliding of the car
go. When the car bumped on trestles
or rounded switches it raised smoth-
ering dust.
At every stop Patrick banged with
all his strength on the locked door of
the car and shouted for help. He was
SO weak that he succeeded only in

Presents uninue GaveI.

Gen F. A. Bird of Madison, quarter
master general of the Wisconsin de-
partment, G. A. R., at Green Bay, pre-
scented to the department unique
gavel sent him for that purpose by
Gen. James H. Agen of Houston, Tex,
past department commander of the
Wisconsin department. General Agen
formerly resided at Superior.
The gavel is made from pieces of
wood that have historical significance.
The head is made from limb Of a
blackberry tree on the battlefield of
San Jacinto, where Santa Anna was
captured by General Houston in 1886;
the handle from a section Of joist
taken from Libby prison.
Other portions of the gavel come
from an oak rafter in the building
built by William Henry Harrison at
Vincennes, Ind, in 1906, while he was
governor of Indiana, Wisconsin and
Illinois; from the old mahogany doors
of the national capitol, taken down
when the bronze doors were hung;
from a red cedar joist in the United
States mint at New Orleans built in
1886, and from walnut bed that went
through the Galveston flood in 1900.

fjcer of the railroad, paused while
walking down the track to rest a few
seconds. He. heard the tapping, called
the conductor and other members of
the train crew and the door of the car
was forced open. Patrick staggered
into view in a shower of oats. He
could not stand. But he was con-
scious. He was given water to drink
and stimulant and then was able to
tell of his adventure.
Il got in the car at Little Falls,
N. Y, late at night" he said ST want
ed to get back to Montreal where I
belong. 1t was all right when the
car wasn't in motion and I was snug
enough a-layin' on top Of the oats
But then the door was locked and the
train started.
GLORY be-but l had a grand time.
With the train movin' the oats was a
regular quicksand and every time
went to lie down I'd slide in. 1t kept
me scramblin' the whole time to keep
me red head above water, mean oats.
But. of course. it isn't all complainin'
I'm dom. The car might have been
loaded wild buckshot. Ye can ate oats.

Patrick was taken to the police sta
ton and then to the Police Court,
where his answers concerning himself
to Magistrate Nash were so evasive
that the magistrate decided that Pat
rick would have to go to the work
house for six months for rest.
"'Tis small care l have O. that"

have oatmeal for breakfast. If they
do, I'll break jail"

Chicken Hawks Prove BIessinq.

Loveland, Col.-Chicken hawks, once
the bane of the farmers life, are now
the best protected bird in this part Of
Colorado. Ranchmen are. guarding
them against slaughter with a vigil
ance that has put state wardens to
shame. The unusual alliance is due to
a pest of grasshoppers which has
threatened the alfalfa crops with ruin.
The hawks, nearly q thousand of
which have collected in this neighbor-
hood, have, proved to be the most sue
cessful means Of destroying the grass
hoppers, which they evidently regard
as delicacies in the matter of food,
leaving chickens unmolested.

The action Of the senate followed
it's refusal to accept two substitutes,
one by Senator Bodenstab, which rep
resented the ideas of the "stalwart''
Republicans, and another by Senator
Gaylord, which contained the Social
lists preferences and incidentally pre-
scented the partisan character of the
election Of delegates to the charter
conventions.
The bill, according to it's supporters,
will give as large measure of home
rule to cities as is possible, under the
present constitution. The bill retains
the nOn-partisan election as applied
to charter convention delegates. 1t
also provides for the initiative and ref
erendum as to changes in the charter
or the calling Of a charter convention.
During the debate Senator Gaylord
asserted that the bill had been called
constitutional by a member of the SUI
preme court, and Senator Whitehead
asked him the name of the judge who
had been guilty Of such manifest i'm
propriety," but Gaylord refused.
