MIGRATION OF WEELs.
How Seed Ripened In Asia May Take

1Aeh-
Root In America.
Weeds migrate as well as men. Ac-
scording to the best authorities, there
are already 600 varieties at least Of
weeds In New England that were not
to be found there when the country
was first settled. Within less than
twenty-five years after the landing Of
the pilgrims one observer counted
more than forty new weeds the Euro
peans had brought them.
Nature employs all sorts Of methods
for spreading life about the planet and
does not seem to care whether the life
Is that OF weed or of plant fit for
human use. Indeed, it uses such un-
romantic material as old rubber over
shoes for seed carriers. as many new
weeds have appeared In valley In
Connecticut since factory was estab-
Mshed there that found use for such
CASTOR things.
The overshoes come from all parts Of
the world. The cloth lining is torn out

POLITICAL FEATS.
Difficult Rimes Had No Terrors Foi
Browning or Byron.

Difficult Rimes Had No Terrors For
Browning or Byron.
Poets may be baffled In their search
for rimes, but it takes great deal to
battle the doggerel rimester. Charles
II. offered reward for rime to
sporringer" The reward was claimed
with the following marriage announce
ment:
The Duke Of York daughter had.
He gave the Prince Of Orange her.
So now your majesty will see
I've found rime for porringer.
Browning's Preparations In rime are
probabiy unique In English poetry.
Here is couplet from "Sordello"
which no minor poet would dare to
print for fear Of blasting his reputa-
t1on:
Chirrups the contumacious grasshopper;
Rustles the lizard and the cushats chirre.
IN the same poem he rimes "sulk-
ed with .'mulct," flag with 'Quag, =
ssabhors" with "valvassors." But he
reached the climax surely in the cou-
plet:
4O0 bEdtAPLC OuA OCuS "a kc4AAa4kS0Aons
And you Tommy -make-room-fo r-your-un-
Gle" us.
The worthy and reverend author OF
the "Ingoldsby Legends was fond Of
such rimes as:
A long yellow pinAfore
Hangs down each chin afore,
or such riming gymnastics as:
AZ Tannington NOW could Look In the
Gazetteer,
But I'm out on a visit, and nobody has It
here.
Yet In these enormities he was only
parodying Byron, who wrote:
Ye lords Of ladies intellectual
Confess IL they had not henpecked you all.

FINE OLD BORROWERS.

johnson Levied on Books.
In book Of essays. "Americans and
Others" Agnes Kepplier COLLECTS some
notable Instances of certain conde-
scension in borrowers. Leigh Hunt
and William Goodwin had the trait de-
veloped to magnificent proportions:
ut would be interesting to calculate
the amount Of money which Hunts
friends and acquaintance contributed
to his support in life Shelley gave him
at one time E1,40O. an amount which
the poet could Ill spare. and when he
had no more to give wrote In misery OF
spirit to Byron, begging loan for his
friend and promising to repay 1t, as he
felt toierably sure Hunt never would.
Byron. generous at first. wearied
after time Of his position in Hunts
commissariat Ut was like pulling man
out OF river. he wrote to Moore, only
to see him jump in again and coldly
withdrew. His withdrawal occasioned
Inconvenience and has been sharply
criticised
AS for Goodwin. when his daughter
ran of with Shelley he refused to take
Shelley's check for Fl, 900 If 1t were not
made payable to a third person or "un-
less he could have the money without
the formality Of an acceptance"
Crabb Robinson introduced him one
evening to gentleman named Rough.
The next day both Goodwin and Rough
called upon their host. each man ex-
pressing his regard for the other and
each asking Robinson If he thought the
other would be likely person to lend
him ESQ.
DR.. Johnson was more scrupulOus.
He s'paid back f1O after a lapse OF
twenty years and on his
deathbed begged Sir Joshua Reynolds
to forgive him trifing loan" But in
the matter Of borrowed books the case
was altered. johnson cherished a
dim conviction that because he read
and Garrick did not the proper place
for Garrick's books was on his-John-
-bookshelves, point which could
never be settled between the two
friends and which came near wrecking
their friendship

T|LLMAN OFFERS POEM
Written Years Ago by Senator
Zeb Vance, Inspired by
Free Wool.

Senator Tillman OF South Carolina, who
illuminated the pages Of the Congressional
Record a few days ago with q twenty
year-old cartoon Of the income tax cow
added another chapter to his reminis-
cences today when he had read before the
Senate a poem submitted during the tarifi
debate of 1889 by Senator Zeb Vance of
Moth Carolina.
The poem was entitled "A Girl With
One Stocking-A Protective Pastoral," "
and opened with the lines:
'.Our Mary had little lamb,
And her heart most intent
To make it's wool beyond Its worth
Bring 50 per cent.
The poem went on to show that under
the protective tariff:
..Where'er that poor girl went
One leg warmed with wool and one
With So per cent
But that under "free wool" Mary would
be able to wear two stockings.
'Tt is appropriate to reproduce 1t just
at this time when we have enacted an
other tariff law" said Senator Ttllman.
with free wool Mary will have to forego
the Sc per cent and let her woman friends
wear stockings on both legs instead OF
one-something they have not been able
to do in more than twenty years"

SPENCER ADDS ROBBERY .
OF DEAD TO HIS CRIMES
Tells Chicago Police of Getting
Money and Jewelry From Body
at Iroquois Theater Fire.

CHICAGO, October 13.-Harry Spen-
Ger. having practically convinced the
police that he is at least thrice mur-
derer and the perpetrator of innumer-
able robberies, claimed added distinc-
tion as a ghoul today.
He said that at the time of the Iro-
quois Theater fire in Chicago, in which
900 lives were lost he was among the
first on the scene and assisted in carry
ing bodies from the place.
One woman whom he bore out was
richly gowned. but burned beyond
recognition. Watchfulness OF the police
prevented him from robbing the body
at the time. but that night, probably
the most profoundly sad in the city's 8
history, he obtained a woman accom-
plice. went to one of the numerous
temporary morgues, and identified"
the body as that of the accomplice's
sister. "Nellie Sharupa," Sharupa be-
ing one of Spencers aliases.
BY this ruse they obtained posses
sion of the body and had 1T buried.
"We got $500 worth of jewelry and
8. 100 in cash Off her." recited Spencer.
II guess she's still buried under the
name Of Sharupa-
