A BRIGHT IDEA.
■it Weary's Pard Found a Fatal
Flaw In the Scheme.
“Pete,” exclaimed Meandering Mike,
“I’m gittin res’less!”
“Don’t do It. Take t’ings easy while
ye kin.”
“Ever since I dropped Into dat leo
ture hall last winter to git warm I’ve
had somet’in on me mind, an I can’t
git it loose. It rankles in me con-
science an overhelms me wit’ a re’liz-
ln sense of de resistlessness of fate.
Dis life ain’t nottln but one hard luck
story any way you take It. But a man
of brains kin sometimes git de best of
de situation.”
"Dat lecture rnus’ of sunk Into ye*
system deep.”
“It did. But I’ve got a scheme dat’ll
help out. De nex’ time wt takes 6
freight train we’ll take one goin
east.”
“What fur?’
“Did you ever hear of velocity ?”
“Sure. Dey’s got free wheels, an de
kinehens tries to run over you wit*
’em.”
“Dat’s close to, but not next. Veloc-
ity is what de world moves wit’. It’s
so many miles a second. We’re goin It
all de time, shovin from west to east,
an when you t'inks ye’re restin it’s on-
ly another delusion an a snare. Ye
can’t stop movln.”
“Well,” asked Plodding Pete, discon-
tentedly, “what re you going to do
about rtf'
“Jes’ what I told ye. De world’s
movin from west to east. De oply
chance to neutralize de swiftness Is to
take a train goin from east to west. I
dunno as we kin hope fur any actual
repose, but it’s de only chance I see
fur comin anywheres near it.”
“It’s a bright idea, but It won’t do.”
“Why not?”
“It only works one way. We can’t
keep on ridin west furever. An t’ink
of de double exertion when we have
to turn aroun an come de other way!”
—Washington Star.
that have passed over It, darting their
rich beams to its very depths. Even
as we write, however, the remem-
brance fades, like the sky’s blanching
souvenirs of sunset, and in the dis-
tance the cold ghosts of winter glare
and wave their frozen wings, which
creak on Icy hinges, while in the si-
lence of midnight a prophetic voice of
wailing and desolation moans fitfully
at the casement.”
Few people can contemplate this
specimen of literary architecture with-
out experiencing a feeling of awe and
sadness, with a few cold shivers on
the side. It is proof positive that the
profession has in some tilings gained
by what it has lost.—Albany Argus.
OLD SOL’S RIDE IN 1849.
Flowery Weather Predictions of the
Journalist. of Lons Afo.
In these days of practical newspa-
per writing, in which bald facts are
expressed in the plainest and tersest
form, the flowery language indulged
in by some of the "journalists” half a
century ago sounds peculiar. The
following poetic convulsion was copied
by one of the local papers from the
New York Tribune in 1849 as worthy
of a high place in the newspaper lit-
erature of the day:
“On Saturday evening at 17 minutes
past 11 o'clock the sun rode calmly
and mildly over tne autumnal equinox
and cast his golden anchor on the win-
try coast of autumn. But as yet the
vast ocean of air through which he
•alls is glowing and transparent with
the memory of the long summer days
A Chair of Unclel.m Needed.
Uncle hood is about the hardest hood
man has to wear,and, as I have observ-
ed uncles and their habits, tfeey either
jpoil or repel the small chaps and chap-
pesses who happen to be made their
nephews and nieces by an accident of
birth. Uncles are either intensely
genial or intensely irritable, and as tar
as I am concerned it is my belief that
our colleges should include In their ear-
rieulurn a chair of “uncleism.”
Unclehood is a relationship that man
has to accept. It is thrust upon him.
He can’t help himself. To be a father
or a mother Is a matter of volition. But
even In a free country like our own, if
a man has a brother or a sister, he is
liable to find himself an uncle at any
time whether he wishes to be one or
not. Then when it happens he’s got to
reason out a course of procedure with-
out any basis in previous experience.—
John Kendrick Bangs in Woman’s
Home Companion.
A Translation.
“In one of the schools of this city,”
says the Worcester Gazette, “the teach-
er, intending to relieve the monotony
of the regular exercises, asked the pu-
pils if they would not like to sing. Of
course there was an instant clamor in
the affirmative, and then the teacher
asked what song they would prefer.
One little boy, in his eagerness to make
the selection, spluttered out something
which the teacher did not catch. Turn-
ing to the boy across the aisle, she ask-
ed what Johnnie said. ‘Please,’ came
the unexpected answer, ‘he says he
wants to sing “His Country, ’Tis of
Him.” ’ ”

Hogg of Texas, ere we part
Let me tell yon you’re a tart,
How you braved the tiger’s jaw?
You’re a Hogg without a flaw.
Other hogs I’ve often seen,
Mostly street car hogs. I mean,
But I say, and it is true,
Never yet was Hogg like you.
Hogg of Texas, prince of men
Ere you mosey to the pen,
Let me hope that yon agree
Tender lines are all for thee.

drink, but is indorsed by medical

Malaria’* Victims.
Major Itoss said in a recent lecture
at Liverpool that malaria was not so
dramatic a disease as cnolera; it did
not kill so quickly, but it killed far
more people. In India it killed about
5,000,000 people a year. It was also
a politically important disease, because
It checked the progress of civilization
In districts the richest In the world,
killing more of the English army than
were killed by the enemy.
