son, Hs an invention of Satan. At
least that is what my friend Jackson
thinks. Poor Jack is the devoted
slave of a fair damsel cursed with a
strict father and an imp of brother.
The other night dad came into the
parlor about $50 with a good night
expression on his face and tactfully
asked what they had been talking
about to keep them so interested so
late.
"'Oh,' said Jack carelessly, we were
discussing our kith and kim

Sometimes the autumn Is very hot

weather, with the thermometer at 10

Three hunters on such blazing au-
tumn day sat on the hotel porch OF a
small mountain town. Their shirts
were open at the throat, and they
were tanning themselves with their
big felt hats. But suddenly one of
them exclaimed
Look, boys, look"
They looked where the man pointed,
and wonderful sight met their eyes.
On peak at the summit Of the high
trail, 1900 feet above their heads,
stood superb elk. There he stood
like a statue, his antlers beautifully
outlined against the bright blue sky.

PARIS. Jan. 30.-Henri Rochefort,
for many years the foremost editor
and publieist of France, celebrated
his eightieth birthday anniversary to
day. The career of NJ. Rochefort has
been a tumultous one from his youth.
In 1866 he began the publication of
paper through whose columns he made
violet attacks upon the imperial fam.
lily. The paper was suppressed and NJ.
Rochefort escaped prison by fleeing to
Belgium. When permitted to return
TO France few years later he re-
sumed his editorial onslaughts against
the government and was again com.
mitted to prison. On the proclamation
Of the republic year later he was re-
leased by the mob. The climax of his
career came in 1871 when he was tried
by court-martial for his attacks on the
government and sentenced to impris-
for life. He was transported
TO New Caledonia, but effected his es-
cape in 1874. The general amnesty OF
1880 permitted him to return to Paris
where he has since spent his time
chiefly in attacking all governments in
turn.
