Revense.-"They had a dreadful
quarrel Easter Sunday, but she got
even with him."
What happened"
You know she had a new spring
suit and a new hat to wear"
"well?"
well, when he woke up in the morn
ing 1t was showing a. blizzard and he
laughed out loud"
He did! Isn't that just like man
the brute?"
Yes, and when she started out for
church, dressed in her old winter
wraps, he laughed again."
IF I had as mean husband as that
I'd leave him."
"She was furious, but just as she got
out on the sidewalk she had a happy
thought. She went right back into
the house and said: Fred, you may
think you're smart, laughing at me
because 1t Is showing, but I'll get even
with you. I'm going to church now
and I'm going there to pray that 1t
will rain cats and dogs on the day the
baseball season opens."-Detroit Free

A Surprise for erseIy.-In his youn

A Surprise for GreeIy.-In his young
er days, while filling the humble po-
sition of printers "deyil," Horace
Greeley was sedulously counting the
minister's daughter. Her father did
not look with favor on the young
mans attentions.
One day, however, the good man
was unwontedly gracious and invited
the future editor to come to church
the next Sabbath, as he felt sure the
sermon would be Of special interest
to him. Sunday morning found young
Horace dressed in his best, seated In
the pew beside the fair object of his
devotion. Sermon time came, and his
dismay may be imagined when the
minister, looking straight at him. i'm
pressively announced as his text: 10!
My daughter is being grievously tor
mented by a devil."-Lippincotts.

L
mander of the steamer submitted a
proposition that had the virtue Of be-
ing so unique that 1t was agreed to.
The steamer would the next day
round a bend off which stretched a
great expanse sand bar. The bar was
the rendezvous Of wild geese and
brant every spring. They stopped in
innumerable fiocks that were the won
der Of new travellers in the west. The
captain Informed his belligerent party
that 1t was customary at the season
then at hand for steamers to slow
down at the bar and give sportsmen
on board q chance at the flocks, with
the understanding that all game that
was brought down was to be served
to passengers. He proposed to slow
down, lower the yawl and send II
ashore with as many as could get In.
The dueling party would be sent first
There was cottonwood grove a half
mile from the water line. Thither the
duelists and party could go and "have
1t out" while the game hunters were
making shots on the sand. In case Of
fatality in the cottonwoods the cap
tain would accord all honors neces-
sary. This would entail publicity and
explanations. On the other hand, af-
ter honor had been satisfied the party
could return, and unless they cared to
proclaim the affair the passengers
would never know but that the party
had been gaming for geese in the
woods" The little captain chuckled
as he put 1t as quoted. The Prussian
WINGED. but the proposition was ac-
cepted.
The result was as the captain antic-
ipated. The party from the cotton
wood grove returned unscratched. The
geese hunters returned with game and
the passengers had birds the remain
der of the voyage. The cottonwood
party were served that night by the
captain in his quarters. The queens
were invited and when the wine was
quaffed the two beauties were told
that they had contributed to the most
unusual incident that ever happened
in western waters. The other passen-
gers were ignorant Of the real mean
ing Of the wild goose hunt on the bar
that day.
The Prussian and the man from the
south disembarked at Ft. Leaven-
worth on the arrival Of the steamer at
that port-the Prussian to make OBJ
servations for his government on army
matters at that post, the American to
proceed on his way across the conti-
nent, and thence across the Pacific.
The queens left the steamer at points
further up the river.
The Frussian fell in the Franco
Prussian war. The American was
brought back helpless from Peking af-
ter the Boxer uprising, and died the
day he quit the steamer at San Fran
cisco.
What Of the queens? They became
mothers of men who explored mines
and exploited two Of the great rail-
road lines Of the country. and laid up
fortunes for themselves and their
families. The little captain retired
when steamboating gave way to the
railroad.
The story is now told by the SON Of
the first pilot of the crack little steam-
er Genoa, commanded by Captain
Throckmorton, one Of the favorites OF
the Missouri river trade. He reeled 1t
off in the smoking room Of an ocean
liner on which we were voyagers.-St.

Is the Farmer Able to Help Himself?

This raises the question Of wheth-
er the cotton planter without the aid
of the state can remedy the situa-
tion. If he can, then I do not think
he should ask the government to do
for him which he can and should do
for himself.
What does the constitution mean
when 1t guarantees to the citizen pro-
lection to life, liberty and property?
Does the term property mean mere
physical possession? Does 1t not In
this enlightened age mean protection
to the citizen in the use Of that prop
erty? What is mere physical posses

tai through special privileges, can
deprive me of the opportunity to em-
ploy my property with profit? This

Lea, of Tennessees minority leader

tice, today, that the minority would
insist upon an early consideration OF
the resolution, involving Senator
Lorimer's right to his seat.
1T is a question of the highest
privilege and we shall demand that
it be kept before the Senate until a

Senator Cullom presented a letter
from Lorimer's physician, saying
that the Senator's health was such
that he could not be present at this
time, and also a telegram from Sena-
tor Lorimer to the same effect
Culom said he had no interest in
the matter, beyond seeing that his
colleague was fairly dealt with.
Senator Lea said that at present
there was no intention Of asking
that a date be named for vote, nor,
he added, would the presence OF
Lorimer be necessary when such a
request is made
