black ones so black they were brought
into the room by Mr.. and Mrs. Kinney
to show the visitors. Now there is a
collie dog in the Kinney family and
the animal is very fond of little kit
tens. When the dog saw the four
brought into the room he fastened
away and soon returned with the
missing kitty, wagging his tail with a
look that would make one sing in bed
AID with as much as to say: why do
you not show all of the kittens, they
are all as fine as silk to me?"

Judge James 0'Niel, long adjoining
the bench in the Neillsville circuit,
and we'll known in Baraboo, relates
a good story about Congressman
William t. Price, who once repre-
scented the Black River Falls district
at Washington. The Methodists IN
his town solicited aid for their
church and asked him to subscribe
$500. Price told them his logs were
hung up on Black river and rains
V ere needed so they could be driven.
eff you Methodists will pray fer
vently for rain and your prayers are
answered, and my logs come down, I
will give you $1,000"
The Methodists prayed, their pray
ers were answered, the logs came
down, but their was such an excess
and rush of water that they were
stranded out on the bottoms, instead
of floating on down the river to La
Crosse. But Price went to his Meth
odist friends and said:
We'll, I'll keep my promise. Here
is your $1,000. But the trouble with
you d-Methodists is you prayed
too hard. You always overdo things"
V. S. Pease writes from Overton,
Texas, as follows:
Texas papers are doing all they can
to elect Andy to congress, but for
myself, / think the Gumps have run
their course and are hauling water.
The only picture l read with relish
tell of the troubles of Jiggs, and the
social aspirations of Maggie. To my
taste George McManus has them all
licked. Maggie is so much like sever
al women l know-just bound to get
to what she thinks is the top of the
social ladder, with all it's folly and
foolishness, that l keep myself en-
tertained i'm watching her convolU-
tons. She's a dandy, and poor old
Jiggs is a real old boy. He is a fine
fellow, surely.
