A pompon English peer, an Important figure In the upper chamber by reason of a very long and very busby beard, had dismissed his valet for the night. Shortly afterward, however, s he was much annoyed to hear peals of laughter from ' below and called back the man to explain. The valet answered that it was lust a little joke, but his lordship would hve none of it and demanded details angrily. "Wen," admitted the man, with reluctance. "It was really a little game we were having, my lord." "What gamer "Well, my lord, a kind of guessing game." . , , "Don't be a fool, Walters. I rang for you in order to get an explanation. What guessing game are you playing? Guessing what?' "We blindfolded the cook, to tell you the truth, my lord, and then one of us kissed her. and she had to guess who It was. The footman held the mop up, and she kissed It and then cried out, Oh, your loadable, how dare you? " A Doubtful AoesenpUshmant. A man who shattered badly went to n specialist and after ten difficult lessons learned to say quite distinctly, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." His friends congratulated him upon this splendid achievement. -Yes," said tfce man doubtfully, "but It's s-s-euch a d-d-deucedly d-d-d-diffl-cult rem-mark to w-w-work into an erdin-n-nary c-c-cen vers-s-sa-tion, y' know." - Must Have Had Experience.

Several of his observations were leveled at two cronies wljb whom he was well acquainted who fnaaueatly poured out libations to the may god. At the dismissal of the congregation the two friends met. the dootor being close behind them. "Did yen heat, Johnnie?" quoth the one. "Did X hear t? Wha' didna hear't? I ne'er winked an e' the haill sermon." "Aweel. an' what thought ye o'tr "dead, Davie 1 think he has been ft lad In his day or he couldna discoorse sea weel about it.

He knotted a napkin about his neck and fell to heavily so heavily, In fact, that the waiter, after a whispered conversation with the proprietor, approached him and said: "Beg, pardon, sir, but I'll have to charge you a quarter extra, you eat so much." - The fat man, red and short of breath from his excessive gorging, said earnestly: - "For goodness' sake, don't do that! I'm nearly dead now from eating 75 cents' worth. If you make me eat another quarter I'll bust." Heeurreotione. . The world is full of resurrections.

Hallway men conductors, engineers and brakemeu are so accustomed to communicate with 1 each - other by means of gestures that the habit of looking for such dumb signals becomes a kind of second nature.

Tbe case was referred to tbe proper department, but reference to the files showed that the engineer had failed: to ' report such an accident. Accordingly he was sent for and asked why he had omitted to report the matter. "I didn't know I hurt tbe cow," he said. ; "Then you remember hitting her?" "Yes, and I slowed up as she rolled over on her back. But she waved her feet for me to go ahead, and so I concluded she was all right" Harper's Weekly. His Military Title. , A traveler in Texas says that he was riding along a cattle trail near the New Mexico line when he met a rather pompous looking native of the region, who introduced himself as Colonel Higgins of Devil's River. "Were you a colonel in tbe Confederate army?" the traveler asked. "No, sah." "On the Union side, then?" "No, sah; never was in no wan." . "Belong to the Texas rangers?" "No, sah; I do not" "Ah, I see; you command one of the state militia regiments." "No. sab; I don'tdon't know nothing about soldiering." "Where, then,1 did you get the rank of colonel?"

" What business Is that of yoursT the cop demanded. ' 'What's your name?' "My name Is Roosevelt, answered that gentleman. : "The cop drank the liquor, set down the glass, wiped his lips with the back of: his hand and then turned on the commissioner. "If your name is Roosevelt,' said he, 'my name is Dennis. "Roosevelt let him off with a reprimand." - : Eaoh Bud Blossoms But Ones.

STEVE FLEMING

LS THE SITUATION NOW He Is Indifferent Now Whether The County Option Law Is Repealed, as It Does Not Affect Him. THINKS ALLEN COUNTY WILL ALWAYS BE WET Passage of the Tomlinson Bill Would Put Out of Business Many Country Saloons in That County. . Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Feb. 10. When the house adjourned yester day evening it was being freely- charg ed around the state house bat Senator Steve Fleming, of Fort Wayne, held the whip hand in the local option fight, and that no repeal bill would be passed without his consent. And the fact la. that he Tomlinson bill did not come to a show-down in the house yesterday afternoon, as had been an nounced. It was generally understood that the amended Tomlinson bill would be up for reading and for the adoption of either the majority re port of the committee . favoring the passage of the bill or the minority re port Jto kill the bill. This was an nounced at the forenoon sessionwhen the reports were handed in, that the reports -'ould be voted on at the afternooi 3sion. But they did not come to a vote and a good many persons were wondering why. It is said now that it was because of the attitude of the Allen county senator. A Strong Opposition. On Monday when it 'was proposed to amend the Tomlinson bill so as to eliminate saloons from the country and confine them to cities and incor porated towns Representative Shirley of Allen county, announced that he was against this change, because it would put out of business the saloons in his home town of Woodburn, which is not incorporated. Several other representatives from county districts , ama h nii it was learned that there were twelve representatives who would vote against the Tomlinson bill for the same reason. Take these twelve and add them to the twelve to sixteen temperance democrats who will vote against any bill to amend or change the county local option bill and it makes a force that would prevent the Tomlinson bill from going through. Fleming is Fortunate. Senator Fleming is considered by everybody here to be In the most for tunate position of any one connected with the fight. He has a brewery in Ft. Wayne and many of the saloons in Ft. Wayne and Allen county sell the product of that brewery. In fact, it is said that the larger part of the beer produced by this brewery is sold In Allen county and in other places that are not any more likely- to be voted dry under a local option law than is Allen county. It is the general belief here that Allen i county would vote to remain wet and that the saloons could not be put out in a hundred years. Therefore the lucky part of it for Fleming is that he owns a brewery in a wet couny and a county that will remain wet instead of in a county that might possibly go dry. He is Indifferent. So it is pointed out here that it would make hut little difference to Fleming whether the county local option las was repealed or not. His business would go on just the same. There are many saloons in Allen county outside of Ft. Wayne and the Incorporated towns, just how many no one her seems to know. The Tomlinson -bill would put them out of business, for it -proposes to' confine them to the cities and incorporated towns. And this is what Fleming does not wish to have happen, for it would reduce the sale of the product of his brewery to just that extent. Therefore, it is argued here, why should he not oppose the passage of the Tomlinson bill in its present form? It is said here that the attitude of Representative Shirley and the other Representatives from Allen county is due to the fact that Fleming is opposed to the bill, though this could not be learned definitely last night. Feared to Push It. So far as Fleming is concerned he would be almost as well off under the present local option law as under no such law, for it does not affect any of the saloons in Allen county, where he does most of his business, but he would be damaged by the enactment of the Tomlinson bill into law. It is said now that it was the full intention of the democrats in the house to push the Tomlinson bill to a vote on the reports of the committee yesterday afternoon but when they looked the situation over they found that it would not be safe to put the committee reports to a vote for fear that the bill would be killed. So they put it off and the word was passed around that they would hold a caucus last night on the proposition. Ho Can Dictate. "It looks to me like Fleming Is In a position to just about tell the rest of the bunch where to get off." said one man at the state house, yesterday af

C0I1TR0

Tomlinson bill would not come up in the house. "He would be foolish, to agree to a bill that would do him harm when he can go ahead under the present law without much loss of business."..;--'': :..;'..:;.; -k.-. But whether Fleming, will seek to

use the advantage which he holds is not known, although it is easy to see that he could do so. Thus far he has declared that he is keeping hands off the local option fight for the reason. as he says, that if he were to get into it actively the people would say that be was in for personal reasons. But it is admitted that he could dictate terms to tbe rest of the democrats who are working for liquor legislation. if he wished to. Thirty-four Now Bills. Thirty-four more bills in the house yesterday. Will they never let up ? Among them were these: To prohibit prosecuting attorneys from taking any part in labor Injunction suits; to place all prosecuting attorneys on salaries; o require all county officers who handle public moneys to give bond; to make it a crime to misrepresent one's lodge or church affiliations; to require interurbans to maintain waiting rooms in towns; to place a bounty of not more than ten cents on crows, The house killed a bill to erect a statue of General Pleasant Hackelman in Rushville. Gen. Hackelman was the only line officer from Indiana killed In the civil war. And the bouse killed tbe bill requiring townships to pay a bounty of one cent for rat3 killed, the cent to be paid when the slayer presents the tail of the dead rat to the trustee. This bill has been called the prize freak of the session. Other bills killed by the house included one appro priating $500,000 for the erection of a state library and museum and another to abolish fish and game deputies. And the senate had a lot of new bills yesterday afternoon, also, but none of them were important A "Strangling" Committee. The democrats not only have come to the conclusion that it is time for them to get busy and do something that will look like an effort to redeem the party pledges but they have appointed' committees composed of tried and true party members in the house whose duty it is to push things along during the rest of the session. One of these committees is the "steering committee" and it is composed of Representative Hauck. of Lawrenceburg; Garrard, of Vincennes; Merriman, of Bluffton and Galbraith, of Sunman. Probably a better name for this committee would be the "strangling" committee, for it is the duty of this bunch to see to it that undesirable bills are strangled before they get far enough along to do any harm. This committee will say which bills shall be pushed forward and which shall not. It other words, it will decide on the plan of action each day and ouline the general policy of the demo-, cratic majority in the house. And when this strangling committee decides that a bill shall be . passed another committee composed of Representatives .Behymer, of El wood; Seidensticker, of Indianapolis; Sweeney, of Tell City; Thornton, of New Al bany and Sunkel, of Clay City, will get out among the democratic members of the house and pass the word that they are to vote for it. And this latter committee is to see to it that no democrat inroduces or supports any bill that is not in accord with the democratic state platform. It is to be from now on a scramble to get right with- he plaform if hey can. It is admitted that it is a little late for them tobegin, but they may get something done even at this late hour. There was a general feeling about the state house today that the effort on the part of the school book lobby and some of the legislators to repeal the uniform school book law will fail and that the law will not be changed. One of the men most prominent in the fight said today that he feared their effort to upset the law would not carry. ANYTHING TO BEAT ZIMMERMAN IS TO BE SLOGMI RAISED (Continued From Page One.) mayor. This support resulted in Schillinger's election. "" The republican political enemies of Dr. Zimmerman: state, that should he again be the republican candidate for mayor they will repeat their tactics of four years ago and join forces with the democrats. His Own Police Force. It is pointed out by those who have the city's best interests at heart that it is an almost assured fact the next mayor of Richmond will have the police department under his control and will act as police judge. They point out that the legislature Is sure to repeal the metropolitan police law and that the cities and towns law, will be so amended that councils of cities the class Richmond is in. will have the option of making the mayor police judge or appointing another as judge of this court. . Should Zimmerman be elected mayor he could, as the virtual chief of police and judge of the police court, operate the city about as he chose, and, the doctor's opponents add, he is not the class of man to be intrusted with such autocratic power.
