A COAXER.

The latest American church de-
vice for raising the wind" is what a
religious paper describes as some
collection box" The inventor halls
from Oklahoma. If a member OF
the congregation drops in a 25-cent
piece or q coin of larger value. there
is silence. If il is a 10-cent piece a
bell rings. a five-cent piece sounds
a whistle. and a cent fires a black
cartridge. If any one pretends TO be
asleep when the box passes. IL
awakens him with a watchman's
rattle. and a kodak takes his por-
trait.

HENS UNAFFECTED BY POISON
Poultry and Quail Eat strychnine and
According to Observers They APP
pear to Like II.

Experts In universities and colleges
of the state have been asked to inform
the state department Of agriculture
why strychnine will kill crows and not
affect chickens when eaten.
The state live stock sanitary board
stirred up the question by sending out
a notice urging that crows be extermi-
mated and giving instructions as to use
of the poison. Some people wanted
to know II chickens would not be
harmed by 1t, but the board officials
replied that they would not, and gave
the result of an experiment by one man
who had written to the department
that he had fed strychninc in corn to
brown Leghorn chickens and that they
had not minded 1t bit.
When he threw 1t out for the crows
to eat he had to send out burial par
ties. On the other hand quail did not
seem to mind 1t particle.
A number of men versed In chemi-
calls were asked the question why the
drug would kill crows and not chick
ems, but they have passed it along to
the folks In colleges.-Harrisburg (Pa.)
Dispatch Philadelphia Inquirer.

Painful Explanations.

A man entered Minneapolis saloon,
showed lap robe across the bar and
said:, "How many drinks will you
give me on this?"
Patrolman Leaman who saw the
man enter the saloon followed and
placed Johnson under arrest. The
explanation as to the possession Of
the lap robe evidently did not sound
convincing.
where did you say you got that
robe" Judge Page asked the man,
who was hailed into police court on a
charge of vagrancy.
IT met young lad down here and
he gave it to me-"

rober

ORIGIN OF PARTY EMBLEMs


Why, when and where did the ele-
plant become the trade mark of the
G. o. p? This question propounded
to q number Of leading Republicans
at q former national convention re-
vealed the fact that few had any but
the most hazy idea how or when the
emblem came to be adopted, the New
York Tribune observes.
Chauncey M. Depew, who is said to
have attended every Republican gath
ering since 1855. said frankly that he
didn't know, but he believed the ele-
plant first appeared on the stage in the
Harrison campaign Of '88.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts an
swered: IF were to make guess
would lay the invention on Tom Mast
Of Harper's. I believe that the crea-
ton was the result Of the adoption Of
the tiger by Tammany. We couldn't
let them show US dust and we went
right to their own territory, the jungle,
and got the elephant to fight the tiger"
There appears to be evidence to sup
port the belief that Mast created not
only the elephant but also the tiger
and the Democratic donkey as well.
The caricaturist is said to have adopt
ell the donkey in January, 1870, basing
the selection on the Democratic party's
reputed ability to do the wrong thing
so carefully and perslstently.
The tiger as an attribute Of Tam
many Is shown by unofficial records
to date from Tweed's downfall In 1871.
Engine Company No. 8, Of which
Tweed had been foreman, carried
stuffed tiger on its engine, though
the reason is not now known.
So Mast, during the crusade against
the Tweed ring, having in mind
Tweed's connection both with the vol
unteer fire department and with Tam
many, symbolized the latter in his car
toOns as tiger.
In November, 1874, 1t is related, the
elephant was introduced by Mast to
represent the Republican vote, which
at that time appeared to be timid and
unmanageable. For the same reason
1t became the party emblem soon after.
The selection of the camel as the
emblem of the Prohibitionists needs
no explanation, bearing in mind that
beasts well-known ability to go for q
long time without a drink.
