On one occasion a student seemed
unusually dense in grasping a funda
mental law of gravitation and the pro
fessor said to him
You do not seem to understand
when I say that the attractive force of
gravity causes objects thrown In the air
to fall back to the earth Have you
never heard the saying that whatever
goes up comes down
The student seemed no better off
than before But Is that true every
where he asked
The professor was on the point of
answering yes when a joke flashed into
his mind and unable to let the oppor

No there is one exeception he

Attention has again been directed to
the character of Leopold king of the
Belgians by Mark Twains arraign

is more barbarous and cruel than the
Africans of the Kongo Free State over
whom he rules It is expected that the
atrocities said to
have been commit

under Leopolds
administration o f

wholesale brutalities said to have been
committed in the Kongo says

Henry Clews the New York banker
and financial writer is of the opinion
that too large salaries have been paid
by some insurance companies and oth
er corporations in the past For in
stance he said the head of a trust
company or of a bank who is receiving
25000 or 50000 reads that the presi
dent of an insurance company gets
150000 and he immediately becomes
dissatisfied know
ing that his talents
are of better quali
ty than those of
the other man I
think that the sala
ry of the president
of the United States
550000 should be
the highest paid in
this country and
serve as a basis for
all others

once with a friend of a meeting of a

Its a mighty good thing to have de

RUNNING THE GANTLET
This Ponlnliuicut Wan Once Used For
Military Dlnclpllne
The following extracts give informa
tion concerning the punishment of
running the gantlet
In running the gantlope the regi
ment was formed six deep and the
ranks opened and faced inward Each
man being furnished with a switch the
offender naked to the waist was led
through the ranks preceded by a ser
geant the point of whose reversed hal
bert was presented to his breast to pre
vent his running too fast As he thus
passed through the ranks every soldier
gave him a stroke Groses Military

given in Monro His Expedition With

Other slight punishments we eu

stripped naked above the waste and is

WEDDING SPEECHES
Some That Were Not In the UhubI
Conventional Style
A wedding in New York at which the
bridesmaids were representative of six
nationalities and each felicitated the
bride in the language of her own coun
try was an odd affair but probably not
so well received as the speech of a
young Englishman who was called up
on to propose the toast The Brides
maids Apprised of his ordeal in ad
vance he had devised an escape and
with the single statement that silence
was golden he brought from his pocket
a set of gold bangles which he bestow
ed upon the attendants of the bride
At a wedding feast at Dol in Nor
mandy the demand for a speech result
ed in the production of a guitar upon
which the speaker accompanied himself
while he chanted the praises of tho
bride Had he stopped there all would
have been well but he changed to a
praise of his store and the guests
threw him out of the house
Doubtless a similar fate should have
befallen the sharpshooter who wrote
the name of the bride upon the wall
with pistol bullets to the serious dam
age of the wall paper Almost as odd
was the performance of a German mu
sic hall performer who when called
upon for entertainment mounted the
table upon his hands and balanced him
self upon glasses cups and other fur
nishings
Funny Blunders
A famous sculpture group recently
exhibited in Glasgow represents Adam
and Eve after they had left Eden
Eve in despair lies at Adams feet
Through a mistake an intelligent at
tendant placarded it with this descrip
tion Motherless At the same exhi
bition was a sleeping nymph by a well
known sculptor which by another mis
take appeared in the catalogue as Mrs
greatly to the horror of Glasgow
A Sunday school boy recently gave
this account of the prophet Elijah
Elijah the prophet was carried intc
heaven by a whirlwind and the chil
dren std up and cried Go up thou
baldhead Go up thou baldhead And
before lie went up he divided the Red
sea

and asked for Hares Walks In Lon

one thick volume The clerk brought
it in two Oh I said as I looked at
them you part your Hare in the
middle do you I sir he said with
a bewildered look Oh no sir I saw
he didnt see the joke so I didnt ex
plain but bought the books and went
away A week later I went to the same
shop As soon as the clerk saw me he
rushed from the back of the shop
laughing vociferously Good he shout

The Comiag
Marriage of
Miss Roosevelt
Is said that wbn tho Taft party
IT was in tho Philippines Datto Jo
kanmiu of the Moros wanted to
present some pearls to the daugh
ter of the president There were sup
pressed smiles when raUier awkward
ly he offered them wrapped in a pieco
of brown paper and there were smiles
mingled with blushes on the faces of
two people when the gallant datto said
that they were for the Princess Long
worth The Moro chief was a llttlo
previous but In this respect was not
without good company The American
newspapers have kept the public well
informed about the romance between
the presidents oldest daughter and
Congressman Nicholas Longworth and
when tho official announcement came a
few days ago nobody was particularly
surprised
It was Janice Meredith who in the
novel of that name rejected her suitor
four times but accepted him at the
fifth proposal There Is a story that
Miss Alice went Paul Leicester Fords
heroine two better and only accepted
the persistent Ohio statesman when he
had asked for her hand the seventh
time He met her first at her coming
out party in 1902 and tho Initial pro
posal was about a year after tbut say
those who think they know but Nick
as his colleagues In congress sometimes
call him in private had rivals He has
a small fortune but some of his rivals
were men of much greater wealth than
he can boast and some of them had
high sounding titles and In the view
of many American society girls a count
rnnks far ahead of a mere congress
man but titles did not dazzle the presi
dents daughter and the suit of the
Ohio representative met with success
The wedding in February will at
tract national Interest Indeed interest
in the event will by no means be con
fined to this continent With the possi
ble exception of Queen Victorias mar
riage it is difficult to recall a matrimo
nial event of the century past which
received as much attention as Miss
Roosevelts wedding is likely to receive
on both sides of the Atlantic The near
est approach to it was the wedding of
Nellie Grant Her marriage to Mr
Sartoris in 1874 took place while Gen
eral Grant occupied the White House
EEPBESENTATIVE HICHOLAS LONGWORTH
and was a brilliant social function
The ceremony was performed in the
east room and was attended by several
hundred guests Including the members
of the cabinet and the diplomatic
corps Nellie Grant was a great favor
ite with her father but a shadow waa
cast over the festivities by his doubts
concerning the advisability of the
match doubts which proved to be jus
tified The country was not so united
then as now and in consequence Miss
Nellie Grant was not so general a fa
vorite throughout the country both
north and south as Miss Roosevelt is
nor did the affairs of the United States
attract so much attention across the
ocean then as they have attracted since
the Spanish war and the peace of Ports
mouth The marriage of President
Cleveland to Miss Frances Folsom took
place in the blue room It was a quiet
affair the ceremony being performed
in the presence of only four or five per
sons The first marriage in the White
House was that of Robert Todd son of
Dolly Madison by her first husband It
was during President Madisons second
term The first White House wedding
in which a daughter of a president fig
ured was the marriage of Miss Maria
Monroe youngest daughter of Presi
dent Monroe in 1S20 Harriet Lane
Johnston niece of President Buchanan
was married in the White House
The union of Miss Roosevelt and Mr
Longworth on Feb 17 will be sol
emnized in the blue room and the offi
ciating clergyman will be the Right
Rev Henry Y Satterlee bishop of tho
Episcopal diocese of Washington
There will be a short wedding jour
ney and after congress adjourns Mr
Longworth will take his bride on a
longer trip which will Include a tour
of Europe On their return to Wash
ington they will live in a plain brick
structure at the southeast corner of
Eighteenth and I streets a house own
ed by a man named John Jones Mr
Longworth now lives there with his
mother The prospective bridegroom is
a well built good looking popular
young man Miss Roosevelt is twenty-two
Mr Longworth thirty six He
Is now serving his second term in con
