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.

The blind king delighted in her conversa tion, and for many years she would save up every interesting story she heard so as to tell it to him/ It is remembered that one day she was telling him a story as they were out driving together. Suddenly the horses started and the carriage seemed about to upset. “Why do you not go on with your story?” said the king. “Because, sir, the carriage is just going to upset.” ‘That is the coachman’s affair,” said the king. “Do you go on with your story.” 9scv- V/ v Best For Women and Children.

The carriers strung our trunks to ropes and nut their carrying sticks through, Chi nese fashion, and baby Maggie said: “Heigh ho,” and off we went. At the gate some of the members had arranged fire crackers on bamboo poles to carry along in front of us, and when we came out the crackers began. What a fourth of July for the little and big boy! 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. Qreat crowds lined the streets to see the fun (crackers) and that was our send off. The boat had not come, so we watched up river for a sign of the smoke and waited. The steamer arrived about four o’clock and we found a cabin and said the last farewells, and soon we were swinging out into the river. The air was balmy and clear, a breeze was blowing and the old hills that we have watched so often link ed green and sweet in the evening light.

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.
