, signation as Congressman from
the first district of Colorado.
I is seat was be ng contested on
I the chP.rge that he had been
I 'elected by fraud. The investi-
Eation had proceedcd far enough
to convin e Mr. Shafroth that
" he charge was true. Not being'
a party to the fraud he was ex-

Senator Hanna died on the
evening of the 15th at 6:40 : with
t'phoid fever. A great man has
passed away. He had been
lcnowrl to the general public but
a few years. Until he was about
60 years of age his ambition and
intellect was directed along business -
ness lines of which he made a
great success. As cbairman of
the Republican National Committee -
mittee in McKinley's campaign
for president , he came before the
public. His . great executive
abili ty " proven and afterwards -
wards his election to .the U. S.
Senate his state m < inship wJsde-
veloped. Few examples of man
attaning renown at his age arc
recorded in this country.
It was his great faith in William -
liam McKinlel that impetted
him to launch iDtO politics and it
was that event that developed
his great ability. While his
work in the past eight years had
been great for the nation his
work was not finished. He had
planned to bring about the harmony -
mony between labor and capital.
He remarked that he would
"rather accomplish tbis end thal1
be president. " Although matign-
ed and abused by his political
opponents , he was able to live to
prove their falsity and all are
now compelled to aclmowledge
his superior ability and the
honesty of his methods.

The Underground Railroad.
( Br Dr. C. Pickett. )
. . . . CHAP1'ER : CUI. . . .
The funniest thing tbat I ever
heard of connected witb the doings -
ings of the Underground Railroad -
road happened this way.
In an early day in Ohio and
Indiana the woods co'ntained a
great many opossum ! > > , an animal
that when you wool him about so
much he lays over on hIs side and
feigns death , hence there wns a
saying when a fellow got rather
sullen and would not be sociable ,
that he was playing possum. On
a certain occasion a fellow was
out bunting in the woods in day
time , he had his gun and two
! , mall dogs such as we used to
tale with us when we would go
squirrel hunting. These dogs
were not large neither were they
fierce , but they would bark furiously -
iously at anything but a squirrel
When they would see a squirrel
they would start after it and soon
the squirrel would climb a tree
and get on tbe other side of the
trunk of the tree from where the
dog was , then the dog would go
slowly around the trce while the
huntcr remained quiet , soon the
squirrel would crawl around on
the other side , always watchihg
the dog , til he came around far
enough that the hunter could
draw a bea'd on bim and when
his trusty rifle cracked th squirrel -
rel fell.Vell this fellow was
walldng along through the woods
looking for game when his dogs
began barking into the end of a
hollow log that lay near. He
approached the place and looked
into the log but the other end bc.
ing closed up it was dark in there
and he could see nothing , but as
be came closer to the open end
Qf tbe log the dogs barked more
fiercely than ever as if the presence -
sence of their master gave tbem
more courage. After taking in
the situation tbe fellow concluded -
ed thnt there must be anopossum
in the log though he heard Q..o
growling , but thought he beard
something breathing in tbe log.
( He was not mistalen. ) So he
harked the dogs on but they were
afraid to encounter the animal in
the log , whatevcr it was.Vhen
we used to tree an opossum in a
log or bellow tree , if we did not
wish to chop into the hallow we
would take a stout forked stick
with the bandle , say three or
four feet long- and the prongs 2
or 3 incbes long , then we would
tbrust tbe forked end against the
animal and begin to tWIst the
stick over and over , and the nature -
ture of the long hair or coarse
fur on the opossum would.be .
wound around the stick until we
could carefully pull him out of
bis rendesvouse. This our friend
proceeded to attempt , not wishing -
ing to reach in the log with his
band , for the bite of an opossum
is an ugly wound. The hunter
did not think it prudent to shoot
into the log and it was well he
did not as the sequel wi1l show.
Wben he thrust his forked
stick into the log he encountered
something that did not feel just
