tumorous department. Tom Reed's Dog Story.?Congressman Vandiver's refused to run for governor of Missouri against Mr. Folk, because he does not want to "run against a cyclone," serves to recall the late Thomas B. Reed's story of the Kansas dog that did tackle a cyclone. "You see," Mr. Reed used to say, "a family from the east moved into Kansas, and they didn't know much about cyclones. They had a dog, a fresh, innocent pup, bred in the effete and windless east. One day a cyclone came along. The folks scooted for the cy-1 clone cellar, but the dog, being an east ern product, didn't understand. ?ie hailed the advent of the cyclone with joyous barks and started off to tackle it. The result was that when the cyclone did business with that dog, which charged down upon it with open jaws, the dog was blown plumb inside out. It was a dickens of a predicament for the dog. After the cyclone passed along and the old folks came out of the cellar they found the dog there, picturesque, but of no further value as a dog. The farmer surveyed the dog ruefully. He was a good dog and he hated to lose him. Then the foolishness of the dog struck him, and he said wrathfully: 'There, drat ye; that's what comes of keepin* your mouth open in the face of a storm.'" ?Kansas City Star. A Boomerang Sermon.?The little English yicar of Hexton, whose objection to High church ritualism brought him recently into conflict with Bishop Potter in New York, sat one day in the cafe of the Fifth Avenue hotel, says the Boston Post. A group of reporters surrounded him, and one of them said: "Why don't you try to down ritualism, Mr. Fillingham, with sermons, rather than with violence?" The vicar smiled. "Sermons," he said, "have an effect always, but too often this effect is the opposite to one to what the sermonizer intended." "How do you mean, sir?" the reporter asked. "I'll illustrate to you what I mean," said the vicar, "I once had a parishioner who was a miser. For this man's benefit I preached one Sunday a strong sermon on the necessity of charity, or philanthropy?a sermon on the duty and the joy of giving. The miser at whom I gazed often seemed impressed. "Next day I met him on the street. " 'Well. John,' I said, 'what did you think of yesterday's sermon?' " 'It moved me deeply, sir, he answered. 'It brought home to me so strongly the necessity of giving alms that, honestly, sir, I've a great mind to become a beggar.'" His Arithmetic Correct.?Major Stofer of Washington, D. C., Virginian, journalist and raconteur, is very fond of children and recently at Cape May he made friends with a bright boy of about ten years. One day when the boy had joined the major on the beach he had with him two little girls. "And who are the pretty little misses?" inquired the major, with true Culpeper courtesy, after greeting the boy. "My sister," replied the boy with a twinkling eye. "Which one is your sister?" "Both is," said the boy. "Both are," said the major, reprovingly, as his manner is at times. The boy shook his head. "Oh yes," insisted the major. "Both are your sisters: each is your sister." "No," insisted the boy; "both is my sister." "How do you make that out, sir?" said the major with dignity. "Each sister is my half-sister, and two halves make one, don't they?" Whereupon they all ran away and the major stood rubbing his chin in much perplexity.?Dertoit Free Press. What's In a Name??An Irish soldier in a local regiment during the late war arrived at camp late one night. He was challenged with the usual "Who goes there?" After pondering a few moments, and the challenge being repeated, and thinking he might avoid punishment, he answered: "Kitchener." He was immediately knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. While he was on the ground ruefully rubbing his head, the sentry exclaimed: "Why. it's Calaghan! What did ye say it was Kitchener for?" "Shure," came the answer, "when ye would do this to Kitchener, phwat would ye do to Calaghan?" Exonerated.? Three-year-old Jack had pulled a large bunch of nasturtiums in his grandmother's yard, though strictly forbidden to touch the flowers. A court martial was held, with grandma as judge advocate. "Jack." she said, "who pulled grandma's flowers?" With a sad countenance the beautiful little fellow replied. "Kathleen" (his elder sister). Then the grandfather, a rather stern old gentleman and a great sticker for truth, spoke up. "Jack, be a man and say, 'I did it!'" With a beaming expression of relief. Jack cried out, "Oh. yes; grandpa did it!"?Judge. "Yor \Vin," Said Dewky.?Like other men of prominence. Admiral Dewey often conies across the irrespressible party who always affects to be on I terms of intimacy with notable person- j ages. Courteous and genial to a degree, the admiral has profound dislike for this sort of nuisance, and does not hesitate to show the feeling. Not long ago. while out walking in Washington he was accosted by an effusive stranger who grasped his hand and said: "George. I'll bet you don't know me." The admiral looked his displeasure as he answered grimly: "You win." and walked on.?New York Tribune.

Mr. Roosevelt Never Goes In Public Without It. | A New York dispatch to the Washington Post says: When President Roosevelt jumped to the wharf at Ellis Island from the immigration cutter H. Ii. Chamberlain this afternoon, and ran forward to shake hands with Commissioner General Frank P. Sargent, a gust of wind caught the skirts of his frock coat and whirled them against the back of his head. Those standing behind the president saw a sight that evoked much comment. Sticking out of his right hand hip pocket was the handle of a revolver. One of the secret service men quickly restored the skirts of the president's coat to their proper place, but the momentary glimpse the spectators had convinced those familiar with such matters, that the handle indicated a weapon of heavy caliber. Those unfamiliar with the president's custom wondered why he should go armed when on a commission so peaceful as an inspection of Ellis Island. It was explained by one of the secret service men, however, that the president invariably carries , revolver when he goes to a public place. The president has carried a pistol ever since he took the oath of office, after the assassination of McKinley. He has the greatest faith in the ability of the dozen or more of secret service agents w ho guard hint, but prefers to be armed himself in case of emergency. His most intimate friends have known of his practice of carrying a six-shooter, but some of the secret service men looked surprised when they saw the handle protruding from the president's pocket today. WHY INDIANS LOVE THUNDER. Story of the Porcupine Man and His Young Slave. Among some tribes of Indians the thunder is held in great reverence; they sing songs to it, and have dances in its honor. As a reason for doing this they tell ofnrv* UiC luiivning U*,wi J . Once upon a time three young: men were on the warpath far from their homes, when the youngest of them had the misfortune to break his leg. By Indian law It became the duty of the other two warriors to carry the youth safely to his home. So they made a litter and carried him on it until they became tired. Finally they came to a range of mountains and, as the trail was steep and it was hard work to carry the youth any further, they laid the litter down and went to one side, where they held council together. , "Let us leave our wounded companion where he is," said one. "It is too much work to carry him farther." "Agreed," said the other. "We will say that he was killed by the enemy and no one will ever be the wiser, for he will certainly die if we leave him here." So the wicked men threw the youth into a deep cleft in the rocks and went on their way home to the village. When they had come there they report ed that the boy had died from wounds received in a fight with the enemy. Great was the grief of the boy's widowed mother, who wept and groaned at the loss of her son. But the youth was not dead. As he lay in the cleft in the rocks where the wicked warriors had thrown him, he saw, sitting a little way off, a strange looking old man, who said to him: "Ah, my son, what have your friends done to you?" "They have left me here to die, I suppose," replied the youth with calmness, for he was ashamed to show that he was afraid. "Oh, you will not die if you will agree to do as I require," said the old man. "I will make you well again, but In return you must be my slave and hunt for me all the rest of your life." To this the youth agreed, as he saw no other way out of his predicament; and the old man (who was not an old man at all, but a porcupine who had assumed the shape of an old man cured him of his hurts and soon had him hunting for him and bringing home the game he killed to the cleft in the rocks. "Whenever you kill anything which is too heavy for you to carry call me and I will come and help you," said the old man. All winter the youth hunted for his master. One day, when the spring had come, the youth killed a big bear which was too heavy for him to carry to the cleft in the rocks alone. "Now I will go and call the old man," he said. But just as he was stooping down to feel the bear and see how fat he was he heard a murmur of voices behind him ind, turning in surprise, beheld three men, or figures in the shape of men, ivho wore cloud like garments with wings. "Who are you and what are you doing in this wilderness where no man ever comes?" cried the youth. Then they told him that they were the Thunderers, whose mission it was to go about over the earth doing good md destroying things which harmed mankind. Just now they were after the old man who lived in the cleft in the rocks, who was no old man at all, but a wicked porcupine, as they would presently prove to him. "Run back," they said, "and tell him to come and help you with the bear." So the youth went and told the old man that he must come and help carry the bear home. But the old man said he could not go out if there was any sign of a cloud in the sky. The youth looked around and said that the sky was clear. So the old man came out and went with him to where the carcass of the big bear was lying. Then they cut up the bear, the old man constantly urging the youth to make haste, and the meat was placed on the old man's shoulder as he directed, the youth all the time being greatly astonished at the strength he showed. Loaded with the bear meat the old man began to run toward the cleft in the rocks as fast as he could, but clouds began to gather rapidly in the sky and the thunder rumbled in the distance. The old man threw down his load and ran faster, but the thunder rumbled nearer and nearer. Then the old man assumed his proper shape of a huge porcupine and went scampering away, shooting his quills out behind him as he ran. But the thunder followed him with peal after peal until finally a bolt of lightning struck him and destroyed him. Then the three Thunderers appeared again and said to the youth: "Now that our work is done, we will carry you home to your mother, who has been grieving for you all the time." So they gave him a cloud suit with wings like their own, and the four swept away through the air to the Indian village where the youth's widowed mother dwelt. It was night when he found himself in his mother's corn field, and going to the opening of the lodge, he drew back the curtain which covered it and stood there in the moonlight. The widowed started up and gazed at him with terror, but he said: "Do not be frightened, mother, it is no ghost, but your long-lost son who has come back to take care of you." i utri i nit? \uuun wqu ui juy, while he told her all his adventures and they lived happily ever after. And that is why the Indians dance and sing to the thunder. *' Mrs. Xoolywed?And if I had really thrown you down then, would you have given me up? Xoolywed?I should say not.

A Woman's Winning Method [Original.] The term "buccaneer" is associated in most people's minds with that of "pirate." The buccaneers were at first privateers authorized to prey on Span- J ish commerce, but afterward degenerated into sea robbers. On one of these buccaneer ships more than a century ago among the crew was a woman dressed in man's clothes. She had I worn this attire for several years as a soldier and had taken part in a num- t ber of battles. When peace came she { concluded to try the sea, and, shipping ( '?? Woat Indloa IninPli the hnP caneers. The secret of her sex was well preserved, and not a person knew that she was a woman. Anne Prestwlch, or Peter Prestwlch, as she was known on the buccaneer, fell desperately In love with one of the sailors, Percival Whitford, a large, blue eyed, flaxen haired, devil may care fellow, who, though he treated Anne In as friendly a manner as any one else, not knowing that she was a woman, had no thought of the tqnder passion. Anne concealed her love, not daring to reveal it with a confession of her sex for fear that Percy would be re pelled by the knowledge. For months she worshiped him in secret Then an opportunity arose for revealing her love under the most favorable circumstances. Percy became involved In a quarrel with a sailor named Millikin, and a challenge passed. Whitford and Millikin were in different watches, and the duel could not take place until after eight bells in the afternoon. Shortly after dinner a number of the crew were lolling on the forecastle, among them Anne Prestwich and Millikin. "You'll make short work of the blue eyed fellow," remarked one of the men to Millikin. "If he does," said Anne, "it'll be by foul means." "What!" cried Millikin, starting up, while the others looked thunderstruck. "Didn't you hear me?" replied Anne. "Cowards don't fight fair. They always manage to get some advantage." "You dare say this to me!" shouted Millikin, standing on his feet and putting his hand to his knife. "I say nothing except what's true." Millikin made a rush for Anne, but those present stood between. "I'll have your life for this!" cried < Millikin. "As soon as I get through < with Whitford I'll attend to you." ( "Why wait for that?" asked Anne coolly. "This is as good a time as any, < and you'll have to wait till eight bells 1 for Whitford." I "Agreed. I'll fight you now. Draw!" i "I have choice of weapons, and I choose swords," said Anne. ! A ring was formed, a couple of or- 1 dinary swords were brought up from i below, and the two opponents set to i work. Anne, the ex-soldier, who had been driiled in sword exercise In bar- ? racks, from the first showed her su- l periority to Millikin, whose only prac- t tice had been in action with the cutlass, i She received a few scratches which her opponent intended for mortal wounds, and, watching her opportunity, ran him through the heart. Millikin dropped dead, and Anne, wiping her sword on her trousers, turned and went down the companionway. i When Whitford came off watch he 1 had been told that there was no quar- I rel on his hands since Peter Prestwich ? had removed his antagonist. He went i straight to Anne, whom he found In the < forecastle. ? "Pete," he said, "what do you mean i Dy WKing my quarrei r "1 bad as good a rigbt to fight him as you." "But they say you insulted him without cause. Then you proposed to fight him before I had my turn with him." "Yes; that's true." "Well, it's plain that you stepped in between him and me. Milllkin never injured you. Tell me why you have Interfered to shield me." Anne turned away, but there was something in the glance she gave him that sent a thrill through him, though he did not know why. The next day the buccaneer touched port at one of the coast towns, and when the first batch of shore leaves were granted It happened that Peter Prestwich and Percy Whitford were ? among the number who went ashore. g When they reached the quay Anne went off by herself, while the others t sought the nearest saloon. Later they r drifted into the San Louis tavern, and j while they were standing at the bar a f waiter stepped up to Percy Whitford g and whispered that a lady wished to see him in a parlor upstairs. Not aware c that he knew any woman In the place, f he hesitated a moment, then, without t speaLiug of his going, sauntered out 1 When he entered the room there was c but one woman in It A trim figure r stood before the window robed In a ? plain but neat gown, cut In the fashion of the times, while on the head was a ? cap which entirely concealed the back x hair. Percy advanced, and as he did so t the woman turned, but while his face i was in the full light of the window ? hers was not. There was something s very familiar In the rather attractive face. Percy was sure he knew the girl, ] but could not place her. 1 "Lassie," he said, "you've got the bet- ? tor of me. What? Pete Prestwich In woman's clothes?" 1 3e started back. Something came ? wshing over him like the moving or a | great flood. 1 "Not a man; a woman," said Anne, ? looking down at the floor. ; The revelation to Percy that a worn- i an had stood between him and an even ( chance between life and death resulted i In a complete conquest. They left the buccaneer service, married and lived i the life of planters. LOUISE BRISTBD. , "Mrs. Nibbleton is a great temper- j ance woman, isn't she?" "Yes.

"The magnate I refer to was he late Jay Gould. "The construction of the Missouri Pacific, railroad from St. Louis to iansas City, following the close of the :ivil war,, did more to help the state ;han- anything that ever ocurred. The :ompletion of the road came at a time ,vhen the returned soldiers who were armers, as most of them were, had no rntlet for what little they were able o produce. "The Missouri Pacific was built in a >art of the state that had suffered nore than any other. The farmers ooked . only for results. They beieved that Jay Gould surveyed the vhole line himself, and some of them >elieved that he actually turned out ind bossed the gangs that did the Trading and laid the rails. "As some of the old hunkers got over heir prejudice against railway maglates they began naming their favorte nag Jay Gould, and of course, it ollowed after that that the name was riven to some of the children.

"There was some rivalry between :hat town and another one not far iway as to which should be the end jf a division at which a roundhouse should be erected.
