Original Colonel seiler-, Lived na.l Flourished In One hears almost annuily of -some person "who was 3:-k Twain's in spiration" for the f:.uou.4 character of Colonel Mulberry sellers at wonder ful optimist who has delighted two gen erations, taught the eson- of human kindness and loving charity as it was 'ever taught by mortal nan and given mingled happiness and merriment to untold thousands of our time. Just how many persons have received this enviable distinction we shall not un dertake to say. They are innumerable by this time. and we shrink from th. task of assorting and classifying them with anything like care. Indeed we are relieved of that laborious and fi tile undertaking by the sure knowl edge that M\ark Twain had orLginally in mind the late Thomas A. Harris of Pewee Valley. Ky., some fifteen or twenty miles to the north of Louis ville. General Harris was a 'Missourian. a man of travel, education, wide experi ence. indomitable courage and engag ing manners and appearance. Gifted far beyond ordinary men in brains, ad dress and noble instincts._he was be loved in private. successful in affairs. admired, respected and confided in by all who knew him. He made millions like a genius and spent them like a prince. He was a soldier. a poet, an orator, a bold and shrewd speculator. No one ever lost a dollar through trust ing him. His failures and disappoint ments touched himself alone. Mark Twain knew him well in the old days before the civil war, thrilled responsive to his sublime conceptions and the al luring eloquence with which he gave them shape and substance. recognized his fine character, his noble purpose, his chivalric soul, felt the full charm of his amazing personality. And Mark Twain in painting Colonel Mulberry Sellers merely utilized the pathos and the humor and the splendid and beauti ful benevolence of the man's unique and brilliant nature. Senator Vest remembers dear old Tom Harris. It was he who in the fall of 181, when Price was besieging Lex ngton, Mo., and when all efforts failed to dislodge Mulligan and his immortal "Chicago brigade." conceived the ex pedient of the hemp bales and put the Confederate army behind them, rolling the movable breastworks up the hill and over the Union fortifications to vic tory. But for Harris' genius Lexington would never have been taken. Thrice the force that Price had at his com mand could not have successfully stormed that formidable height. A year or so later Harris was in Rich mond seeking a command. While there he fell out of a fourth story window, alighting face downward on a pile of bricks. Vest said of it afterward, "It would have killed a snowbird." In Harris' case there were only a nose split right down the middle and a scar which everybody thought had been made by a saber in some desperate hand to hand conflict with a hated foe. Harris was always the kind and courteous and clean handed gentleman. He loved his fellow, man. He was ready to share his last dollar with any one who seemed to be in distress or sorrow. Great thoughts issued from his fruitful mind. Prodigious schemes and enterprises were the children of his intellect. Untold millions in which he had no share have been the crea tures of his light, suave suggestions. He never wronged man or woman. He was incapable of deceit or pretense. But when he talked all men listened. Out of the crumbs of his opulent sug gestion others gathered fame and for tune. And he died poor! He had made many men rich. He had distributed succor, hope, encouragement, as the sower flings his seed. But he always saw the bread upon the water, and he never lost his faith in man. 'e was Mark Twain's Sellers. - Wa. ..ngton Post. Rise of a Workhouse Waif. Sir H. M. Stanley possesses the dis tnction of- having commenced his ca reer in a workhouse, a fact which has not prevented him from rising to dizzy heights of fame. Of Welsh origin, the great esplorer cannot have all pleasant memories of his native land, although he can still speak the language. He left the workhouse for a butcher's shop, which he found little to his taste, and ran away to America. In New Or leans he saw an announcement in the shop of a Henry Mortlake Stanley that a boy was wanted. The lad obtained the situation and remained with his employer, who adopted him, until his death. In this way lie came by his present name, having formerly borne that of John Rowlands. He is a man of iron, easily discouraged, indeed, but quick to regain courage, full of dogged will, which is his strength, and a splen did leader. Extremely abstemious in all his habits, he has ever had a pas sion for tea, and as for tobacco he him self says. "I have always found it a solace and an aid to concentration." Riley's Awinl Blunders. James Whitcomb Riley, the popular author and poet, confesses to a fond ness for social life, but says he feels at a disadvantage at social gatherings, that people are disappointed in him. "I don't see well or remember names. Therefore I'm an ungainly member of society. I have been catching the next train for so many y'ears that I have had but little time to devote to the so cial side of life and am in consequence a confirmed novice in all the gentler graces. Only a few evenings since, somewhere. I pronounced 'don't you' with the 'ch' sound to it, and-well, you must imagine, for I can't describe, the overwhelmring, suffocating sense of my h-umiliation when my attention was drawn to it.

Did you eer think. says a horseman, how fast a horse in a 2:20 gait moves his feet? When a horse is trotting a :20 gait his feet move a little faster than a mile in 1:10. As his body is moving at 2:20 and is each of his feet wher 1in contact With the ground is stationary and then is picked up and moved forward to take the next stop the foot must move as much faster than the body as' to make the step, which is over twice as fast. Now. the action is: The foot is at rest upon the ground and is raised some one or two feet high. then forced forward nearly the full length of the leg, then lowered to the ground -anid is at rest for nearly two-thirds of the time that the next step is being taken. The time. nearly two-thirds. I think. is too long, but it Is from one-half to two-thirds of the next step. __________ When DAnncr I. 0ver.
