ED. HOWE'S FAVORlTE STORY
WeII-known Kansas Editor Takes
Pride in Effectual Way He
Squelcned Bore.

K. w. Howe of Kansas has been
something of traveller. He made a
number of trips abroad and went
twice around the world. 1t was on
his first trip abroad that he encoun-
tered one of the sea hounds whose
chief boast Is concerned in the num-
ber of times they have crossed the At
lantic. Mr.. Howe tells the incident as
his favorite story.
''Is this your first trip the sea
hound asked Mr.. Howe on the occa-
sion of their first meeting. Mr. Howe
admitted that 1t was. "Well," said
the sea hound, 1--WE crossed the Allan
tic 40 times" On the second day the
sea hound again put the question to
Mr.. Howe and again vouchsafed the
same observation. He repeated 1t at
frequent intervals during the trip.
1t was on the sixth day, after the
sea hound had again spoken of the
number of his crossings, that Mr..
Howe said to him: "By the way. have
you ever been to Omaha?' The sea
hound said he never had. "Well," re-
torted Mr.. Howe, II 60 there every
week. k."-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Hezekiah to George v.

One Of the most engaging beliefs Of
che British Israelites now in session
Is that our royal family is directly

The marriage Of daughter of Heze-

some as a basis for the pedigree, and
