THE SCRAP

Why Wo Can Sit. A Boston schoolboy gave the following definition of the spine: "The spine Is a long bone reaching from the skull to the heels. It has a hinge in the middle, so that yon can sit down; otherwise you would have to sit standing." THE BIRDS AND BEES. J think the bees, the blessed boes, Are better, wiser far than we. ;Th& very wild birds in the trees Are wiser, far. It seems to me, J'or love and light and sun and air NAre theirs and not a bit of care. (What bird makes claim to all God's trees? What bee makes claim to all God's flowers? Behold their perfect harmonies. . Their common board, the common hours! Cy. why. should man be less than, these, The happy birds, the hoarding bees? Joaquin Miller. 'Presence of Mind. One of Mrs. Hamilton Fish's rules when her bnsjband was secretary of Btate iu Grant's cabinet was to return every call she received. Her husband was continually holding public receptions, and many women would come who had no desire that Mrs. Fish should call upon them. One such woman attended a Fish reception, left her card and a little later was duly honored by a call from" Mrs. Fish. It was a beautiful, mild afternoon. The Fish equipage, all a-glitter in Itie wintry sunshine, dashed down the narrow, street and halted .before the woman's little house with a musical jin gle of silver chains. The footman leap ed from the box and opened the carriage door, and Mrs. Fish descended. The woman of the bouse was kneeling on the side walk, beside a backet of hot water, with a scrubbing brush In one hand and a cake of soap In .the other. She Was scrubbing the front teps. . Bending . graciously over her, Mrs. Fish asked politely, "Is Mrs. Henry Eobinson at home?" And Mrs. Henry Robinson replied, "Jvo, mum,' she ain't, and went on scrubbing. Llppincott's. iHir Position. An" applicant for teacher In a country school was asked, "What is your position with regard to the whipping of children?" "My usual; position is. on a chair, with the. i4lld held firmly across my knees, face downward," was the reply. A Noisy Eater. Ex-Senator William E. Chandler has an admirer lu New Hampshire who has ideas on how the government should be conducted and writes Mr. Chandler about them at great length. After Chandler was defeated for the senate and before he was appointed president of the Spanish claims commission the friend wrote, condoling with the senator. He said It was a shame that the nation and New Hampshire should be deprived of the services of so able a man as Mr. Chandler and closed with this prophecy : "Nevertheless, I do not think republics are ungrateful. I am confident that your great merits will again he recognized and that at no late date we shall hear of you feeding again at the public crib." All the Sam to Him. One of a party of gentlemen left his corner seat n an already crowded railway car to go in search of something to eat, leaving a rug to reserve his place. On returning he found that, in spite of the rug and the protests of his fellow passengers, the seat had been usurped by a woman clad in handsome clothes. With flashing eyes she turned upon him: "Do you know. sir. that I am one of the directors" wives T "Madam." he replied, "were you the director's only wife I should still protest." Ladies' Home Journal. What She Was Like. Do tell me what Mrs. Tewler is like." she asked of her husband. "Well, she's a woman of sixty who looks fifty, thinks she is forty, dresses like thirty and acts like twenty." A Nice Distinction.

You will prove, 1 hope, by your present contribution that you are no longer laboring under the same mistake." Unique Post Hole. The foreman and his crew of bridgemen were striving hard to make an Impression on the select board provided by Mrs. Booney at her Arkansas eating establishment. "Tho old man sure made a funny deal down . at Piuey yesterday." observed the foreman, with a wink at the man to his right. "Wbat'd he do?" asked the new man at the other end of the table. 4 "Well, a year or so ago there used to be a water tank there, but they took down the tub and brought it up here to Cabin Creek. The well went dry and they covered It over. It was four or five feet around.1 ninety feet deep and plumb in the right of way. Didn't know what to do with it until along comes an old lollypop yesterday and gives the old man $5 for it." "Five dollars for what?" asked the new man. "Well," continued the foreman, ignoring the Interruption, "that old lollyyop uorrowea two jacus irom the track, men and jacked her up out of there and carried her home on wheels." "What'd he do with it?' persisted the new man. "Say, that old lollypop must've been Yank. Nobody else could have figured it out The ground on his place is hard, and he needed some more fence, so he calculated 'twould be easier and cheaper to saw that old well up Jnto postholes than 'twould be to dig 'em." Thereafter the new man bit more on his food and less on the conversation. Everybody's. Seven Hens Cannot Lay On Egg. Daniel Webster when he was secre tary of state was one day reading at a cabinet meeting a draft of a message he had written for. the president to transmit to congress. He was constantly Interrupted by one of the members with suggestions until, losing patience, he turned to him and said: "Sir, you might as well expect seven hens to lay one egg as seven men to construct one message." He Tipped Them All. A New Yorker was shown to a room In a hotel In Brussels, where he found twenty candles' stuck in a chandelier. As it was dark, the attendant lighted them all, but the guest put them out immediately. In his bill next day, however, he found them charged: "Twenty candles, 10 francs." lie went back to the room and took them all out, wrapped them in a bit of paper and slipped them into bis overcoat pocket. When he was about to leave the house he found the servants drawn up In two lines in the hall in the European style all smiling and ready for the expected tip. Then he drew out bis package and distributed the candles one to each as he passed out "Allow me, monsieur." said he, with a bow; "permit me, madam. They are very superior candles, I assure you. I paid 10 cents apiece for them." Ladies Home Journal. Outwitting Her Lawyer. "Still, there are occasions when a lawyer isn't the chief beneficiary of a suit," said Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. "I know of one Instance. A friend of mine in Virginia sued a railroad company for damages and secured a verdict for $50,000. which was paid, and the whole amount is now in bank subject to her order. Her counsel didn't get a penny of it." "How was that?" "She found the only way of outwitting himshe married the lawyer." Bible Authority For It ' Mr. Rundlett, at one time a merchant in the town of Newcastle. Mt, instructed his clerks to strictly follow the precepts of the Bible in all of thelr dealings. One day a lady came in to buy a oicjx of..lress cod?. and one of the

-vi BOOK clei'ks 'spent a fe'reat d'Ul'of time showing her various cloths, which she said weren't good enough. The clerk said he had a better piece In the rear of the store. lie showed hor this piece, which she had already seen, but told her it was much liner and worth 50 cents a(yard more. She said that she could readily v. see that it was better and made her purchase. Mr. Rnndlett, who had seen the transactlon, censured the clerk, who replied that he could refer to the Bible to justify his action. "Why how is that?" "Well, she was a stranger, and I took her in." The Same Effect. There had been a brilliant company at the home of a society leader in DeS Moines. Ia., a woman whose husband was known better for his wealth than for his- mental attainments. "Well, Francis." she said after the last visitor was gone, "it was a complete success, wasn't it?" "Sure!" observed Francis. "Did you notice Professor Billing ton?" . "The man with the bandage around his neck?" "Yes. What an astonishing vocabulary he has!" "From the way he held his head J thought it was a carbuncle." Llppincott's. Long Name, Short Lived. "In Boston there used to be a stam merlng college kept by Professor Graves," says Governor Guild. "Next door to this college was a flower store Professor Graves method was to ask each pupil what phrase he would like to learn to say perfectly. Then the professor would drill the pupil on that one phrase or sentence, and when the stammerer repeated it smoothly a cure was pronounced. One day a friend of mine, who was afflicted with the stuttering habit, decided to patronize the professor. BefolB he went into the studio, however, he stopped to look in the flower store at some chrysanthemums. ' 'Now, my dear fellow," said Professor Graves, 'is there anything particular that you would like to learn to say perfectly?' "W-w-w-well, y-yes th-there is. 1 sh-sh-shouid like t-t-to be able t-t-to s-say cr-crys-crys-cr-crysanth-th-the-m-m-mum before the darn th-thing f-fadesr " Unkind. Miss Folia La Follette, daughter of Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, was passing a collection plate one day when ska was waved away by a man distinguished for bis wealth and parsimony. "Nothing." he said gruffly; "I hav uothing." "Take something, thvn; this collection is tee the poor, you know " Varied Commencement Addresses. An anxious inquirer was discussinj with Bishop Prendergast the comple; nature of some of his episcopal duties "I should think you would find givint addresses at commencements particu larly trying," said the inquirer ques tloningly. "I do," sighed the bishop "How can yon manage to find anythinj original to say year after year?" prob ed the inquirer, determined to get a the root of the matter. "Oh.

MARSHALL WAS RIDICULED CHAS. SHIVELEY SCORES HIS POLICY OF EVASION AND ASKS FOR STRAIGHT OUT DECLARATION CAMPAIGN OF PERSON ALITJ ES. la an informal rally the Young Men's Republican club of the city made its debut in the campaign of lftOS I last evening. Its appearance was a spontaneous sort of affair. It was the first of the regular weekl.-' meetings that are to be held until the close of the campaign and to gie it the proper send off the drum and bugle corps tcs out and a short march wu:i taken from headquarters at the Maconic Temple to the court house. In the Horticultural society's room a short program was given. Announcement was made that ! the club will meet each Thursday eve- ! r.1ng. The enrollment for the Marching Club was taken. The meeting was called for the rooms at headquarters, but the crowd that assembled was too large to be accommodated there and adjournment was it u j iwiiiiij mil in uuu U11511: lui i'o the Seventh and Fourth vards were represented by drum corps. The talks to the members were delivered by A. M. Gardner, candidate for joint representative from Fayette tnd Wayne counties, and Charles Shivelcy. Both outlined the issues of the day. Mr. Gardner states he expects Wayne county to roll up 5.WO majority for the republican cause. Mr. Shiveley appeared enthused a id tpoke with fervor. He snid he is surprised by the attitude of the democratic candidate upon his ovn platform and ridiculed Marshall's assertion he would not eign a countr option bill until he had read it, .is r.bsurd and asked who would expect him to do so. He charged Marshall with being afraid to come forth and commit himself. He scorned the pettifogging tactics as murk lug cowardly actions. The speaker laughed at Marshall's declaration this is not to be a campaign of personalities and declared the personnel of the tickets will figure more proprominenlly this year than ever before. It was tho first public appearance of the Wayne county republican drum and bugle corps in connection with a political affair. It is a sefe assertion that the state will not be r.ble to present a better organized or equipped corps. The members are: Capt.

German Government. since 1S71 all the states of Germany have beeu grouped, under the emperor as head, into n federation somewhat similar to that of the United States. There are two- houses of assembly first, the upper house of the federated states, known as the "federal-council (bundeerath), the members of which represent the Individual states in pretty much the same way that our senators represent their respective states, except that the number coming from each state is not uniform, as with us. but apportioned, and. second, the lower house, or house of commons of the realm (relchstag), elected for three years by ballot of all male Germans over twenty-one years of age. In the meantime each Gerjnan state has its own local constitution and local government, as is the case with the states of the American Union.
