. * ?BtsBAT TURI^D INTO VICTORY. Wis Illustration ot the Readlom ol A Mck. Stamp Speaker. T&o Washington Post tolls a story Which Illustrates the readiness of it, flrst-rato Ktiinip orator, Colonel Stark Of Nebraska, a member of Congress, was ann<mnced to apeak In a cortain town in Nebraska, and many people of tils political faith It Is not necessary to Bay which side ho was on, nor which eminent camlldatc ho championed had eoiue In from round about to hoar At tho last moment, however, it w as discovered that, through some neglect ol tho local managers, tin* opposing party had got possession of the only ball In tho place. In plain terms, Col onel Stark and his intending auditors were literally out In the cold, for the season was late, and it was impossible) to hold a meeting in the open air. Of course Colonel Stark could not think of permitting tho opponents to have his audience, and he set about finding 8011)0 other roomy and win in place which would answer his pur pose. The only tiling that offered it self Was a huge building lived as i lie winter quarters of a circus and me In tho training shed of th's cstabli h tnent, therefore, Colonel Stall; assem bled his audience, which was all tho larger on account of the unusual cir cumstances under which U was ailed together. Colonel Stark mounted an elephant tub and began his address: "Fellow Citizens, ladles and gentle nen? " Here the lion roared "Wow wo o ow."' completely drowning the orator's vole \ J As soon as the uproar had Momewhat subsided, Stark began agrnn; "In this momentous eampnigp " "Vap yow hi yl yl yl!" yelled the^hv *no. No progress was possible until this very unpleasant and disconcert ing anftnal had ceased his outcries Then Colonel Smith resumed: "I come to speak to you in behalf " i Here the elephant trumpeted with majestic sound, and several smaller aaimals contributed an echo oi cup ,nl e ruble magnitude. When Hit* was over Colonel Stark wont on: "In behalf of our great and glorious leader, the peerless Ktalesmnif and matchless orator " Ho nuiiiL'd Llm -leader of his party, and at once, possibly set oi^l.y an e\ asperating howl of the wolf, all the animals in the building began an awful clamor. The lion ma red, the bears growled, the *depbani <? umpeted and the camels snorted. The audience be gan to Wiugh, and it seemed all over for the speech, when, in a lull of the tu mult, tho voice of Colonel Stark was once more heard "At the mentlou of whose name even the wild animals lift up their voices In a tumult of appreciative Joy!" At fflls I he audience cheered with de light and approbation. Having bad their pay, the animals thenceforth re mained comparatively quiet, and the meeting was pronounced an over whelming success. One day he took some pills and then He highly praised th ? same; He'll never !??? obscure again The whole world knows his name. - Chicago Tline.-J Herald. t.oqk For Hie "Planet of Romance," on Alay i8tli, Part of the Investigations of May 28th will bo directed, not to the sun Itself, but to the space lying between the sun and Mercury. We are told in a paper by Julia MaeNair Wright in Iho May "New l.ippimott ' that it haa been the dream of many astronomers that about half way between the sun and Mercury lies a little planet, lost in the effulgence of the sun. Sir Wll |lam Hall names this the "Planet Romance." Other astronomers ha>o searched for it, christening it Vuben before It has been found. I ever such a planet rolled exactly between ih?> earth and the sun. it would sonici im<-.-< be aeen crawling like a black dot across the sun's disk. In the gloom of an eclipse such an orb might show its facc if iff? position as regards the earth wero favorable. Most cstronoHwrs have concluded that there is no such planet, but that the space between Mercury and tho sun is empty. Mr*.
