CHILDHOOD'S MEMORIES.
Sad Steen to the Dentlat When a Bor.
But It Wai Different Naur.
, A man bIx feet high, with the side
of his head wrapped in dry goods,
went into a dental emporium the
other day and Bank wearily Into a
chair. In response to the proprie
tors "What can I do for you?” the
large man said:
“I have a toothache that is break
ing my heart and I think that I ought
to have a fang drawn, but you see, I
haven't been to a dentist since I was
a boy and I want to ask you a fow
questions before you go to work. ”
"Go ahead.”
"I want to know whether you prop
a man’s jaws apart with an iron
wedge and then tell him to 'look
pleasant, please.”'
“Certainly wo don't.”
“1 want to know whether you fast
en one hand in the victim's hair and
braee your knee against his throat,
and then draw his tooth as though
you were pulling a cork from a bear
bottle with a corkscrew.”
"Why that would be murder; you
feel no pain at all.”
“That's what the dentist told mo
when I wrvs a boy. I want to know
whether you use a jimmy to draw a
tooth when the pincers fail, and also
whether you will replace, free of
charge, any sections of the jaw that
may be removed during the opera
tion?”
“We won’t hurt you at all.”
“Then you may go ahead; but I have
a friend at the foot of the stairway.
He is a larger man than I am, and he
can punch a hole through a stove-lid;
and if I yell once he’s coming up hero
eight steps at a time to knock down
the ceiling with you. Do you want to
go ahead?”
“I am afraid not; you- had better go
up the street to the veterinary sur
geon. ”
FIRST OF HOOFED ANIMALS.
Supposed to Have Lived on Western
Prairies BOO Tears Abo.
In the rooms of Professor E. D.Cope
at Philadelphia, tho person fortunate
enough to gain admission may see the
creature which all naturalists are
unanimous in pronouncing the first
representative of the hoofed ailimal
speclea The animal is. not alive,
neither is it entire so far as flesh and
blood are concerned, but to the pa
leontologist, who cares only for the
fossiled bones, the speoimen is per
fect. It is not larger than a yearling
calf, and not nearly so tall, and was
found in the Wind river country in
Wyoming. Professor Cope named it
Thenacodus primssvus when itwas first
discovered giving it as his opinion that
it was akin to a specimen which was
found several years ago in Frauce
(the paleotherium), and which gave
Cuvier and the other naturalists so
much trouble to classify. At the
time of the discovery of the French
specimen the savants of Europe de
cided that it was. the ancestor of
"hoof ed critters,” but the Wind river
fossil, which is easily distinguished as
being a type of the same is believed
to be much more ancient. Cope’s
curiosity was found in rocks belong
ing to the eocene period and the time
. when it grazed on the Western
prairies has been placed as far back
as 600,000 years. Every bone is per
f feet and in plaoe and the specimen
could not be purchased for 910,000.
A MATTER OF .DOUBT.
Ihe Parmer Thoecht the Widow Was a
▼ery Qaeetloaable lavestmsnt.
Riding along the Clover Fork of the
Cumberland one day I overtook a
mountaineer and we jogged along to
gether. Wo talked of • timber, crops
and politics, and finally got down to
personalities.
"Have you always lived here?” I
asked.
"No,” he replied, “I come from Per
ry county.”
“How long have you lived here?”
"Five ye’r, goln' on six.”
"Married, I presume?”
"Yes, but I wuzn’t when I fust
come. I worked by the day for the
Widder Stevens and boarded with her.
That's all the home I had. It’s that
Iarm with the two-story house onto it
you passed about four miles below
here. ”
"It’s a very nice place, I noticed.”
"Fust rata I run it. I married the
widder.”
“Oh!” I said in surprise.
"Yes, me and her hitched inside of
a ye’r."
"That’s a good deal cheaper than
the old way, isn’t it?”
“Well,” he said doubtfully, “I ain’t
shore. In course the property’s worth
/ sumpthin’, but countin’ in the widder
fer a man uv my peaceable dispessi
tlon. It ain't Bich dern cheap livin’ ez
you might s’pose it wuz. ”
A Powerful Argument.
The youth hadn’t a great deal of
brains and he looked it, bat at times
he gave off faint scintillations of in
telligence, He wanted to marry a
frivolous, silly girl he had been de
voted to and in due course of time
went to her father. “Yes, yes, I un
derstand,” said the father, as the ap
plicant was trying to convince him,
“but I don’t want a fool to marry my
daughter.” “Probably not, sir,” he
responded, “but I don’t believe you’ll
find any other kind of man that will
have her,” and the father was won by
this ingenuous plea.
Uneoln'a Way.
Secretary Seward was an Episco
palian. On ope of the occasions when
President Lincoln’s patience was tried
by a self-appointed adviser who got
warm and used strong language, Mr.
Lincoln interrupted him by saying:
“You are an Episcopalian, aren’t you?”
and when asked why he thought so,
said: “You swear just like Seward,
and he is.” This was Mr. Lincoln's
way of getting rid of such advisers.
EXERCISE FOR THE EYES.
Absolutely Necessary In Order That the
Vision May Be Preserved.
When the eyes are treated fairly
they are strengthened, not weakened,
by work. Just as the arms of a black
smith grow the stronger for his trade,
so the eyes of watch-makers who
work under healthy conditions are
found to improve, and not to deterio
rate, in vigor and quickness. It is the
abuse of the eyes, not their use, which
is to be avoided.
If a roan is aware either that his
eyes need no artificial correction or
else have recoivod their proper adjust
ment, and if his work, whether liter
ary or mechanical, is done in a light
both steady and sufficient and with a
due regard as to ordinary sanitary
rules, lie may feel sure that he is
strengthening his eyes, not weaken
ing them, by hard work. Men of in
tellectual pursuits sometimes are
afraid of losing their mental powers
in old age, because they have drawn
so much upon them when young. The
reverse is noarer the truth, and if they
have not overtaxed their brains the
fear is absolutely groundless.
The roan whose intellect goes first
In old age is generally some farmer or
laborer who has never strengthened
and invigorated it by use, not the
politician, the lawyer or the man of
letters. So with the eyes. Those
who have strengthened their eyes by
using them properly keep lceen sight
longer than those who have never
trained them. In the case of the
man who has neglected to give his
eyes their full development they will
fail in their power along with his
other bodily functions. When, how
evor, the man who, born with good
eyes, has kept them in constant hard
work and never strained them reaches
old age, he may find them capable of
performing their functions better
than any other organ bf the body.
HE 8 ANO IN COURT.
How JLtttle Davie Connelly Saved Hie
Father From Jail.
Little Davie Connelly, the sweet
voiced lad, who is known all over the
Facifie coast, sang his father out of
jail in the Spokane police court lately.
David Connelly, sr., had been arrested
for being drunk, and had been fined
81 and costs by Judge Miller.
Then Davie appeared. Inspector
dough was an admirer of the lad, and
so was Prosecutor Plattor. At their
request the little fellow sang, in a
voice of affecting sweetness, "Kiss and
Let’s Make Up.” Judge Miller listen
ed, and when he had concluded asked
his name.
•‘Davie Connelly,” said the lad.
“Why—ahem—who’s your father?”
asked the judge, with a suspicion of
tenderness in his voice.
“Why, he’s the man you just sent to
jail,” said the little fellow.
“I think we had better let the
father go for the boy’s sake,” said Mr.
Plattor.
“Sing ‘My Mother’s Picture’ ” sug
gested Inspector dough, and the boy
sang with tender emotion the appeal
of the child not to sell his mother’s
portrait. It was a sweet, pathetic re
frain that brought emotions to the
heart.
"Does your father get drunk often?”
asked the judge, as he looked sym
pathetically at the little singer.
“Do, sir; this is the first time in a
year,”| he replied. “And, judge, if
you will let him go I’ll have work at
the Louvre next week and bring you
the money for his fine.”
"You—why, what do you earn?”
“Seventeen dollars and a half a
week,” replied Davie, and in another
minute it was arranged and the parent
was allowed to go.
A Wild Bin In Town.
A resident of Seattle, Wash., came
down-stairs in the middle of the night
a week ago to investigate a racket in
the kitchen and found there a half
grown bear cub with its head in a pan
of blackberry preserves that had been
left on the floor to cool. The bear
left the jam and started for the man,
but the latter slammed the door and
went after his gun. After wakening
four women in the house so they
would not be scared by the report o
the firearm he returned and killed the
bear. Seattle is a pretty big city, and
the house invaded by the bear is not
far from its center, so that the pres
ence there of the bear is a good deal
of a mystery. It fouud access to the
house through a door left ajar.
HU Queer Bequest,
Baron Konigswater, one Of the lead
ing figures in Austrian financial cir
cles, who died recently, has left a for
tune amounting to nearly £3,000,000.
Some time before he died he expressed
a strange desire that his body after
death should be dissected, in order to
discover whether or not the dreadful
headaches from which he suffered in
his lifetime were due to hereditary
causes. This wish has been carried
out by Vienna specialists, but no
traces of hereditary disease have been
discovered.
What ••We” Do. ' K ,
An American, visiting in England,
was interrupted in the course of a
conversation wherein she had inad
vertently used the expression, “taking
a ride.” Her hostess said benignly.
“My dear, we here don’t say riding
for a trip in a carriage. We say
driving.” The person reproved had
heard a good deal about what “we”
do and do not. “Isn’t that peculiar?”
she saucily retorted, “so do we.
Really, we two nations are much more
alike than you would imagine.”
Bleu Her Innocent Moal.
“For my part,” said Mrs. McSwat,

FIOHTINO FISH.
A Kind In Slam That An m Brave u
Game Cooks.
So aggressive is the plakat, a little
fish from Siam, that the entertain
ment it affords has become a national
pastime, but not a very creditable one,
to say the least The fishes are trained
to go through regular battles and are
reared artificially for the purpose,
white the license to exhibit them is
farmed out and brings a large amount
of money into the royal coffers. They
are kept in aquariums built for the
the purpose and fed upon the larvae of
mosquitos, and every possible care is
taken of them.
When the fish is in a quiet state,
with the fins at rest, the dull colors
are not at all remarkable. But if
two are brought together, or within
sight of each other, or even if one
sees its own image in a looking
glass, the little creature becomes sud
denly excited. The fins are raised and
the whole body shines with metalic
luster and colors of dazzling beauty,
while the protecting gill membrane,
waving like a black frill round the
throat, makes grotesque the general
appearance. In this state ot irritation
it makes repeated darts at its real or
reflected antagonist.
If now two are placed together in a
tank they will rush at each other with
the utmost fury. The battle is kept
up until one is killed or put to flight,
but not until they are entirely separ
ated does the victor shut his gaudy
fins that, like flags of war, are never
lowered until peace has been declared.
AGAINST DRINKING WATER.
A Hu Who Wm Bather Faotldloao
About Heine the Tank Cap.
In a room where many people
gather in a day is a water tank, and a
porcelain cup hangs from it by a
chain. A New York man, going up
to it with a friend to get a drink of
water, attempted to show the other
how one might drink from a public
cup and still not mingle lips, so to
speak.
“You see,” he said, “I do it this
way. I take up the cup and touch my
lips to it at this point, closest to the
handle. Everyone, you know, natur
ally holds a cup by the handle. Hold
ing it thus it is extremely awkward to
get one’s lips anywhere except on a
certain part of one side of the rim, so
that people without knowing it place
their lips to almost the same spot.
But as you see,’’ he went on illustrat
ing his action, “I twist it around in
this way and get an untouched spot”
That was a good theory, but it was
not borne out by facta The two
stood near the water cooler for some
time in conversation. Meanwhile
several people came up to get drinks
of water. About half of them had
the same theory as the first man, so
that they all landed on the same place
by intention. Of the rest some picked
up the cup haphazard and drank from
any side of the rim, so that their lips
were as likely to touch the rim near
the handle as any other place, .some
were boldly daring and didn’t seem to
care. _
|A Trad* Union 000 Years Old.
In London there is a quaint old or
ganization known as the Fellowship
of Free Porters. It was organized
sometime in the thirteenth century
and for nearly 500 years its members
had the monopoly of the discharging
of grain from boats coming up the
Thames. A century ago the organiza
tion had 8,500 members, with a sur
plus which in 1853 grew to £81,000.
The construction of docks and the
abolition of metage or measurement
of corn destroyed the prosperity of
the Fellowship. It has been languish
ing for several years and refuses to
die because no provision has been
made for the disposal of its funds. An
arrangement has been made recently
whereby the funds are to be dis
tributed and meanwhile each member
is to bo paid ten shillings a week.
Bird Iteuonlng.
A little known and striking instance
of foresight and industry exhibited by
a bird is that of the California wood
pecker. Like others of its kind this
bird is an insect eater. Yet, in view
of the approach of winter, it prepares
a store of food of a wholly different
character and arranges this with as
much care as an epicure might devote
to the storage of his wine in a cellar.
In the summer the woodpecker lives
on ants. For the winter he stores up
acorns. To hold each acorn it hollo ws
a small hole in a tree, into which the
ocorn is exactly fitted, and is ready to
be split by the strong beak of the
climbing woodpecker, though too
tightly held to be stolen by squirrels
or other birds
A French Swindler.
The marquis de Bays, a remarkable
French character, who has just died,
is said to be the man who suggested
to Alphonse Daudet his amusing
“Port-Tarascon.” The marquis con
ceived the idea of forming a colony at
Port Breton,in Oceanica. With the aid
of fallacious circulars he succeeded in
obtaining funds for the realization of
his fantastic enterprise. Unfortu
nately he put .most of them into his
own pocket, and spent the remainder
in sending to the imaginary colony a
number of his victims, who died there
of starvation. Prosecuted for swin
dling, he was sentenced to five years’
imprisonment.
Babies' Bight of Way.
One of the pleasantest features of
New York’s uptown residence avenues
is the large number of rosy cheeked
babies who are trundled up and down
the sidewalks when the sun shines
brightly. After, however, one has
been forced into the gutter half a
dozen times in as many blocks by
nurse girls who persist in pushing
baby carriages two or three abreast,
he is apt to wish the babies were less
numerous or their nurses more mind
ful of the rights of pedestrians.

inug Alaska, and Uncle Sam has said
more: he says three degrees are semi
arid. You get a crop to-day, this year,
and you don’t get a crop next year.
Half arid. Half of the half of the amount
and these geographers say that if you
take in the east line that then you have
only half of all the territory west of the
07th meridian. Now you see how hard
it is, Mr. President, for the American
people to understand that the country
which we settled in '54 is not a little
place out west but that it is the other
half of our possessions, and that it is the
dry half of our possessions. That’s
what you want to get into your heads,
and you want this thing fixed. Take
that sheet of paper and double it, (indi
cating) and suppose it represents the
United States; double it here in the mid
dle and one half of it lies west of the
97tli meridian—the half that you see 90
miles east—and that this half that we
began to settle forty years ago is not an
agricultural region. You know that on
these lands west of O’Neill sometimes
you get a crop and sometimes you don’t,
and you don’t get it oftener than you
do, (Great applause.)
in me mountain parts or mis country
that I am talking about, the/ began to
irrigate some years ago. We, in Kan
sas, shut our eyes up until about two
years ago; we said we didn’t need irriga
tion. We didn’t tell the truth; we knew
better, and some said, “keep still; keep
your mouth shut; you will hurt the price
of our lands,” We kept still, but now
we have got our mouths open. Califor
nia began to irrigate about 15 years ago,
Colorado, Texas and themountain states
have a little irrigation enterprise, em
bracing the running water only. Asa
whole they have all been dabbling with
the running water and they have bought
it up so that the running water is almost
all owned by individuals. That is in the
mountain states. Now right here I want
to say that this art of irrigation is a new
art; men say to me every day, “what is
irrigation?” Newspaper men also say,
"what is irrigation?” Some say, “con
nect it with the Rock Island railroad,
this irrigation nonsense.” The art of
irrigation is new to the American peo
ple, to you men. You know that irriga
tion is not a new art, mankind has
always lived by irrigation. All the old
world was dense, treeless, rainless lands,
and all the great armies of the world
have marched and counter-marched up
| on arid land and away back to bible
times you will find they one and all sub
sisted upon fruits fiom arid lands. And
there are armies of irrigation now in
Old Mexico, aqueducts and reservoirs
that are 300 years old. And that is true
in regard to irrigation, that it is an old
art. We have never used it because we
didn’t have to; we have got now to
where we have to: we have to meet a
new set of conditions, and let me touch
upon the point,“why we have to:” Be
cause Uncle Sam has no more lands for
these young men to go to to settle upon;
our public domain is all gone and this is
the serious question, Mr. President,with
the young man to-day. Your young
men here in O’Neiil, of twenty-one,
have got stout bodies and no money,and
the most serious question that lies before
such a young man is, how shall 1 be
come the possessor of a farm? We did
not have to meet that question 40 years
ago because we all come west and took
up Illinois, and Missouri, and Iowa for
a dollar and a quarter an acre. That is
all gone now, there is no more public
domain left.
Old Ben. Wade, before he died, said
that every acre of land by 1900 in the
United States would be worth $50. .
Mr. Plum, senator from our state, who
was a long time in congress, before he
died, two years ago, said that every acre
of good corn land in the United States
by 1900 would be worth a hundred dol
lars. Now what is the matter? You
begin to see the condition we are in. I
tell you this irrigation is bigger than the
tariff question, or the Cleveland ques
tion, or any other. (Bong applause.)
No doubt about it, and we men living
here in this western country baye got to
meet it whether we want to or not. We
have got to solve it. Look at your cities.
Young men are in all the cities of the
land and they can’t get a living. New
Tork adds fifty thousand every year to
its population, Chicago adds that much
to its population. I was down to the
capital of your state and they were talk
ing about erecting a soup-house to feed
the great army of unemployed. So in
the old world, cities are all running
over. They say 850 more people lie
down in London every night than rise
