Hook One of the most interesting
and exciting sessions the bouse has yet
enjoyed occurred yesterday afternoon.
The bill for the completion of the uni
versity library building and the district
and water right irrigation bill furnished
the foundation, while the zealous friends
and opponents of the measures did the
rest.
The fight made for the university
library building was ably led by Mun
ger of Lancaster, who avoided all ora
tory and centred the attention of the
bouse upon the facts as they actually
existed. Every question propounded to
him was met and lie had a score of able
assistants, including Burch of Gage, who
introduced the bill and closed the de
bate in its favor. Cole of Hitchcock, in
the preliminary, and Bee of Futnas, in
the final contest, led the opposition.
Davics of Cass made the speech in favor
of the reduction of the appropriation
and McNitt of Webster replied in one
of his best efforts during the session.
It was while these two gentlemen had
the floor that a war cloud drifted above
the horizon leading to an animated
controversy between them that caused
the sparks to fly for a time and raised
the interest in the crowded bouse to a
high pitch. The roll call that followed
was closely watched and when it was
found that fifty-one votes favored the
bill, while the opposition only counted
thirty-five, the friends of the bill ap
plauded and the audience lent vigorous
aid.
Well n,n day.

AS ALIKE AS TWO PEAS.
Twin Itrothera at Wealeyan Unlver
ity Who Can't Be Told Apart.
Arthur and Archer Young, of New
Britain, tw-ln brothers who are as
alike as two copper cents, or as the pro
verbial peas In a pod, entered Wesley -an
I'niverslty this autumn tn the fresli
man class, and the difficulty of distin
guishing them has led to no end of mis
takes. The Young brothers say that
the joke, being to them of about twen
ty years' standing, has become a tritle,
old. "." ' t i"
In college chapel they sit next to
each other, and If one of them happens
to "cut," the chapel monitor, whose
duty Is to record absences, has to flip
up a cent to decide which of them he
shall mark absent. Bolb twins are
on the 'varsity foot-ball team, and
though they are not heavy, they have
distinguished themselves as belli.;
about the pluckiest players on the
eleven. They wear similar bandages
wrapped around their tow-colored
heads, and their sleeveless Jackets uro
alike stained with the blue dye of
their Jerseys. The other day," in a
practice game, the ball was fumbled
iu a scrimmage, and one of the twins
fell on It Archer was playing hall
back 011 the 'varsity, and Arthur was
lined up on the scrub. A doubt pt
once arose in the mind of Coach Steele
as to which side should have the ball,
Unit functionary, like everybody eLse,
being unable to distinguish the twins.
Accordingly lie ran up to the mini who
was scrambling to his feet with lhe
ball, and asked in a loud whisper:
"Say, which Young are you, anyhow
-'varsity or scrub?"
One of the brothers had an entrance
condition iu some branch of his prep
aratory work and a date was set for
the special examination. The brother
who had the eoiiditiou marked against
him remained in his room, while the
other twin took the examination and
passed It with flying colors. This hap
pened because a mistake was made
originally In charging the wroug twin
with a condition.
A litve Beetle In Iron Ore.
Z. T. White, who Is now, or has very
recently been, a citizen of El Paso,
Texas, was once the ow ner of the most
wonderful entomological specimen ever
found since the creation of the world
a live beetle found in a solid matrix of
Iron ore! The curiosity was discover
ed a considerable depth below the sur
face In the Longfellow mine, at Clif
ton, Ariz., and fitted his Iron sarcoph
agus as snugly as though the Iron
had been in a plastic state when ft
came in concert with the creature's
body. The "bug" was of a dull, reddish-gray
color, and was, of courso, of
a species wholly unknown to the en
tomologists. According to the El Puso
Bullion, this wonder was presented to
a well-known scientific association of
the Atlatic slope about two years ago.
Where iillzcards Oome From.
The blizzards that annually sweep

This Is the coldest place on the Ameri

(Prom the Creek of Sophocles.)
ColonusI White Colonus! rest and pee
Haunt thy green eludes aud thy low-
iiiuniiiiriiig streams,
Thy limpid w aters gurgle sweet surcease
From toil ami pain. The gentle-guarding
dreams
Hover with drowsy wings above thy bow
ers. Where dark the pine, his leaf-laced
hhiidow throws.
With low love -litanies the hosom'd hour
Cradle the 'turhed soul to soft repose.
Here lie earth's fairest home, here ever
ehauiits,
Thro' dreamy summer woods slave-charmed
and still,
The Imperial bird of song that constant
haunts
The darkling thicket by the babbling rill.
Here, here, Idoneus! pour in slumber deep
On mortal eyes, thy dark immortal sleep.

Some Other Day.
There are wonderful thiufa we are going
to do,
Some other day;
And horhors we hope to drift into
Some other day.
With folded hands and oars thut trail.
We watch and wait for a favoring tale
To fill the folds of an idle sail ,
I Some other duy. i
S u- C" ' ; ,
We know we must toil if ever w win 1
Some other day.
But we say to ourselves there' time to
begin
Home other day;
And so, deferring, we loiter on,
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength of the hope we leaned upon
Some other day.
And when we are old and our race is run
Some othiy duy,
We fret for the thiugsthat might have
been done
Some other day.
WTe trace the pnth that leads us wher
The beckoning hand of grim despair
Leads us yonder, out of the here,
Some other day.

A pair of wandering Willies sought
All labor hard to shun
Two souls with but a single thought,
Two tramps that heat a one.

I looked and saw a splendid pageantry
Of beautiful women and of lordly men.
Taking their pleasure iu a flowery plain,
Where poppies and the red anemone,
And many another leaf of cramolsy,
Flickered shout tholr feet, aud gav
their stain
To heels of iron or satin, and the grain
Of silken garments floating fur and fre.
As In the dance they wove themselves, or
strayed
By twos together, or lightly smiled and
bowed,
Or curtsied to each other, or else played
At games of mirth and pastime, unafraid
In their delight; and all so high and
proud,
They seemed scarce of the earth where
on they trod.

I looked again and saw that flowery pac
Stirring, as if alive, beneath the tread
That rested now upon an old man's
head,
And upon a baby's gasping face,
Or mother's bosom, or the rounded grace
Of a girl's throat; and what had seemed
the red
Of flowers wn blood. In gout and
gushes shed
From hearts that broke under that frolic
pace.
And now and then from out the dreadful
floor
An arm or brow wa lifted from th
rest,
As if to strike in madness, or implore
For mercy; and anon some Buffering
breast
Heaved from ths mas and souk; and a
before
The revelers above them thronged and
pressed.

Might Have Known It.
Where wa it I kissed her?
Or wa it her sister?
Mayhap 'twn neither
Not like me eithor
Or could I have missed her?
'Twas a rnre osculation,
A kls of persuasion,
Though I have forgot
I know I ought not
Who cntised the station?
And now I'm despairing,
My mind 'tis impairing,
Since If it were she
At once I could be
Nw kisses declaring,
And now I remember,
It wa in Deccmher,
Somewhere In the South
And full In the month,
'Tw there that I kissed her,
Both sh and her lister.
