During a camping trip in the Maine woods Bill was easily the laziest man in the party. Finally his exasperated comrades told him that if he didn’t kill something be sides time they would pack him off home. The next morning Bill bor rowed a rifle and went off up the mountains. Two hours later the men in camp saw Bill running down again as fast as he could come, and close behind him was a bear. The men watched the chase, with loaded ri fles ready. On reaching camp Bill turned and shot the bear. When the men could stop laughing one of them said, “Bill, what on earth possessed you to run that distance with the bear so close when you might have killed him on the hill and saved your breath?” Bill smiled slowly, “What’s the use of killing a bear in the moun tains and lugging him in when you can run him in?” he asked.

There must have been ten thousand crackers popping like the rattle of musketry in a battle till we, in the smell of powder smoke, walked down to the steamer.

When a baby is born bald-headed its mother is sure it is going to have curly hair. done great injustice in recent news paper reports, and indeed, some of the statements made have been de cidedly unfair to the representative who. at best, is nerfoming an un pleasant task. A recent dispatch from Columbia speaks of his “un gentlemanly” conduct in dragging before the committee a pribate cas ual conversation made at a whist party at Dr. Earle’s home. Mr. Ly on states that Klingenberg is not his detective, but the committee’s, and that correspondents who refer to him in the above manner are unfair and are doing him an injustice. Of course, regret is felt that the adjec tive ungentlemanlv appeared in the Chronicle. The following paragraph, publish ed in the Chronicle Friday, Mr. Ly on states is absolutely false: “And in the succeeding breath, shaking his finger at Representative Lyon, who was a guest at Dr. Earle’s and at Mr. G. R. Roberts’, told him that bringing out such matter in the circumstances did not square with his ideas of what constituted a gen tleman. if it did with Mr. Lyon’s.” Also untrue, he says, is the state ment that he tried several times to suppress Mr. Deal, but failed. He says that what he did try to do was to get a stenographer to take down what Mr. Deal said. Mr. Lyon says that the investiga tion is getting along swimmingly, and he believes that at last they have nailed the “King of the Graft ers.” When the babv talks, it is time to give Hollister’s Rocky Moutain Tea.
