quaint character, nut presiding; over the
senate; and as ho awaited notice of the
time for the senate to proceed to the hall
of the house of representatives, where the
two bodli.-s In Joint session were to receive
the new governor, he lolled back In his
chair on the president's stand and smoked
a big corncob pipe with the utmost non
chanlance. The senate lobby was crowded, and sen
ators were In their Beats, on the tiptoe of
expectancy, for the strains of martial mu
sic could be heard from all directions. At
this Juncture a figure In a glittering- and
brilliant uniform pushed through the crowd
and marched half way up the aisle. This
wai Marshal-of-the-day Hawley. Drawing;
his sword, he made a profound military
salute and announced with much pompos

and his staff now approach:"
Without removing his pipe from his
mouth, Lleutununt Governor Brockmeyer
responded:

Two colored preachers were In a pulpit
Id a southern town. One who was preach
ing happened to siiy, "W'hun Abraham
built the ark." The other strove to correct
him by saying aloud, "Abraham warn't
thar." But the speaker pushed on, heedless
vt the Interruption, and took occasion to
repeat, still more decidedly, "I say when
Abraham built the ark." "And I say,"
cried out the other, "Abraham warn't
thar." "Well, I bet." said the other, with
Indignation, "he was thur, or tharabouts."

During the lecture tour that James Whlt
cunib Hiley once made through t lit state of
MlHtourl he found himself one day com
pelled to put up at a particularly unin
viting hostelry in a town not fur from Jef
ferson City.
Mr. Hiley says that when, after a hard
night on a shuck mattress, he came down
to tho villainous smelling "dining-room,"
ho was In anything but a cheerful frame of
mind. He seated himself at a table opposite
a rough looking fellow who was busily en
gaged In conveying his f'Kl to his mouth
by means of his knife.
"I might have suffered this without com
plaint," says Mr. Rtlev, "but when ho

if I lately In tho woods, longed for
' I rnmnnnliinMliln. There were no
other cats near, and he felt very
lonely.
Buddenly It occurred to him that there
might be plenty of white rabbits around,
and that he felt hungry as well as lone
some. So tho big wildcat began to sing a
plaintive song, the burden of which was:
"Oil, my sweet white rabbit, when you are
scared you run in a circle."
A white rabbit heard him, and said to
Itself: "Ho, ho! That dangerous fellow,
the wildcat. Is ubout, Is he? Well, I will
show him that I do not run In a .circle."
So off the 'rabbit started, and ran with
all his might. Then he stopped and
listened. Again he heard tho song, nearer
than before, and off be started again. Sev
eral times ho did this, and each time the
song seemed nearer. You see, the rabbit
had formed the bad habit of running in a
circle, and now he could run no other way,
try as he might.
So he kept circling on, ever getting
nearer to tho wildcat, until at last the cat,
with a final buret of melody, said: "Oh,
my sweet white rabbit, when you are
scared you run In a circle," and pounced
upon lilm and had him for supper.
This Is the story the Indians tell, and it
shows how a bad habit gets so fastened
on one that, even to save his life, he some
times cunnot break It off.

Senator Aliier'a Story.
Senator Alger of Michigan tells a story
about a "call-down" one of his friends re
ceived at the hands of a Kansas farmer
some years ago. The senator was speeding
through Kansas on a return trip from Cali
fornia, where he has Immense timber Inter
ests. Seated with him was a friend from
Michigan and as they passed through
Kansas a prosperous farmer came Into the
car and took a seat Just opposite them.
The senator and his friend were dis
cussing the relative value of Michigan and
Kansas lands when the former said: "I
think that Is a mighty good farm." and he
pointed out the window at a typical sun
flower plantation.
"It may bo good enough," said Senator
Alger's friend, "but I wouldn't take It as
a gift."
The Kansas farmer, who had been listen
ing to the conversation, said, addressing
Alger's companion:
"Did I tinderstand you to say you are .
from Michigan?"
"Yes, from Michigan," replied the Wol
verine traveler.
"Well, I want to remark," replied the
farmer, who had been stung by tho slight
on Kansas, "that you are the first Michi
gan man I ever saw who wouldn't take
everything in sight, gift or no gift."

U was at a big meeting that all this was
said, more of a citizens' meeting than a
church gathering, and Mr. Dukes asked:
"Now what can you do for the preacher?
I don't Intend to put the burden of my
living upon any one family, but upon all
of you turn and turn about. I will not,
however, go where the latch-strlng Is not
hanging out of the door. What can you
do for the preacher?"
One old lady who bad a dim recollec
tion of a small church In tho pine woods
of Georgia, when sho was a girl1, said:
"I kin eat him, but I can't sleep him."
"That's good; now who next?" asked tho
nii.islonary.
"Well, if Sister Jenkins Is gwlne to eat
Mm, I'll agree to sleep him, but I can't

"That's good; who next"

A Zoological Parly.
This Is an affair that will please the
children. Arrange chairs, one for each
guest. In a scml-clrcle around a Urge black
board. If twenty children are present, give
each s, card with a number on It, number
ing the cards from one to twenty, with a
tiny pencil attached to It with ribbon.
The name of the child, Is written on the
back of the card. Pass around slips of
paper folded, and have each one promise
not to tell what Is written on his slip. The
person In charge will then call the number,
and each child must look to see what num
ber is on the slip received.
Kor Instance, if two is called, tho one
holding the slip with that figure will get up
and draw on the board a picture of the
animal the paper designates, the others
putting down on their cards opposite the
number called, the animal they think It Is.
After twenty animals have been drawn
and guessed, the correct list Is read, the
children marking their cards with the
ones they have correct.
The boy or girl who rightly guesses the
greatest number will receive a prise. The
one guessing the smallest number must
also have a prlxe for consolation. A Noah's
ark and a toy donkey would be appropriate.

Moody's Wit In the I'nlplt.
Dwight L,. Moody once called on n minis
terial brother In an eastern town, dialrlng
to spend the next day, Sunday, with him.
The minister was agreeable, but said that
he was ashamed to ask Moody to preueh.
"Why?" asked Mr. Moody.
"Well," was the reply, "our people have
got Into such a habit of going out before
the close of the meeting that It would be
an Imposition on a stranger."
"I will stop and preach." said Moody.
When Sunday arrived Mr. Moody opened
the meeting, and then encouragingly said:
"My hearers, I nm going to speak to two
sorts today, tho sinners first, then the
saints."
After earnestly addressing tho supposed
sinners, he said that they could now take
their hats and go. Rut tho whole congrega
tion waited and heard him to the end.

of the princess, and If It were taken off
and worn by another the princess would
die.
Once on the occasion of his daughter's
birthday the rajah presented her with a
pair of slippers, studded with pearls and
diamonds. The princess went into the
mountain to gather flowers, and whllo
stooping one of hor slippers dropped off and
fell into the forest below.
A prince, who was hunting In this forest,
picked up the lost slipper. Noticing Us
smallness and rare beauty, he desired (O
make the owner his wife. This wish of the
prince was mado known throughout the
empire, und although great wealth was
promised to anyone bringing information
concerning the owner of the slipper, no
one appeared to claim it.
The prince became very unhappy. He
gave up all his pleasures and devoted bis
life to the search.
After many months had passed without
success some people from the rajah's coun
try heard of the prince's desire and told
him where the princess who owned tho
slipper could be found. The prince visited
her and, finding her lovely beyond his
hopes, a royal wedding quickly followed.'
Some time after another wife of the
prince In India a prince has many wives
being Jealous of the new wife, stole her
golden necklace and put It around her own
neck. The rajah's daughter died, but her
body did not change, nor her face lose its
bloom and life-like beauty. She lay In
state In the royal palace, where every day
the prince went to see her. He loved hor
as ardently as when she was alive, and
called the wise men from far and near to
tell him why this was so, and why r.o
change came over the face and form of his
loved companion.
The wise men could not give any reason
that satisfied the prince. He never would
have known the truth had It not been for a
little serving maid, who, dearly loving the
princess while she lived, was found one
day weeping by her bier when the prince
arrived to mourn his loss.
This little maid told the prince of the

He was standing on a street corner one day
recently when he was approached by one
of his constituents, who said abruptly: "I

she looked so pretty that I couldn't help

Domestic Hardens.
A twist Zleslng. tho new president of the
American Rridge, company, was talking
about a business man who made a good
many mistakes.
"These mistakes," he said, "are nlways In
the man's own favor. He profits by them.
Indeed, though. It Is so with too many mis
takes, errors, and misconceptions. Isn't It?
"I once knew a young draughtsman who
sat bent over a drawing board from 9 till 5
dally, drawing, drawing, drawing.
"This was hard work. Tho young man
needed a lot of sleep to keep him fit for It.
But tho baby he had recently been married
robbed him of four or live hours' rest
every night.
"At 4 o'clock In the chill gray dawn of an
October morning the poor young draughts
man, as he paced the floor with the shriek

wearily:

A Delicate ( ompllment.
Many delicate compliments have been
paid the fair sex by men subtle In speech,
but here Is one straight from the heart
of an Illiterate negro that Is difficult to
excel:
It Is recalled by the Rev. C. V. Smith of
Kansas City, In telling tho story of a mar
riage fee.
"When I was preaching at Walla Walla,
Wash.," ho says, "there was no negro
preacher In town, and I was aften called
upon to perform a ceremony between ne
groes. One afternoon, after I had mar
ried a young negro couple, the groom asked
the price of the service.
" 'Oh, well," said I, 'you can pay me
whatever you think It Is worth to you."
"The negro turned and silently looked
his bride over from head to foot, then
slowly rolling up the whites of his eyes to
me, said:
" 'Lawd, sati, you has done ruined me
for life; you has, fur sure.' "
theft of the golden necklace, and also the
secret of Its wonderful power. The result
of her Btory was that the woman who stole
the necklace was put to death. The nock
lace was placed around the neck of tho
dead princess. At Its restoration her soul
was reborn In her, sho came to life and,
happy In the prince's love und devotion,
lived a long life of happiness and useful
ness. Ted's Story of Thanksgiving.
We had all sat down to dinner un that glad
Thanksgiving day
There were uncles, aunts and cousins who
had come from far away
But betore he carved tho turkey grandpa
turnod to little Ted;
"Can you tell us why we celebrate Thanks
giving day?" Iiu said.
Now Ted was only six, but he knew the
story well,
And he urew himself up proudly, for 'twas
one lie loved to tell.
"The 1'ilgrlriis wished to worship God the
the way that they thought best.
But the king said they must go to church
along with all the rest.
"So they fled across the ocean and they
came right over Lere:
'Twus Just as cold ad could bo 'twas the
winter of the year;
And our country then was different, and of
of course there was no duck,
So the whole one hundred of 'ml had to
land on i'lymouiu Kuck.
It was such a hard, cold winter that they
died off thick und fast,
But finally it was over and the spring had
come at lust;
And when the 1'llgrims gathered in their
harvest in tiio lull,
They felt so very happy, they were thank
ful, one and all.
"And they thought they'd set apart a day
In which to praise und pray.
And they also had a feasting which they
called Thanksgiving Duy.
And that is why we keep it when our crops
are gathered in.
Because we, too, are thankful to have
rilled each loft and bin.
"And I'm thankful to the Pilgrims, be
cause they made the day.
For 1 like a good big dinner and a time
to romp and play."
And when our Ted had finished, "That
was well told," grunpa said,
And the aunts and umiea shouted, "Here's
three cheers for little Ted!"
