The Undoing 0 f Zipzip.
(Louisville Courier-Journal.)
Zipzip was a moth. Zipzlp first
saw tin* dark in a cedar chest where
his family made a part of the sum
mer colony.
Clothes were their natural prey, j
but often they were lucky enough to
find camphor and tar-tlabes. Some*,
times they found insect powder.
Zlpzijr soon learned how to attack
a fur coat: how to grapple with a
sealskin sack; how to bring down a
feather boa In true scientific style.
For some time our hero had been
in business for himself. One day he
encountered an unfamiliar enemy.
He bit at it. but his mandibles closed
on emptiness. Nothing was there.
Zipzip was no coward. Again he
sprang to the attack; again his jaws
snapped on emptiness, atmosphere,
air. nothing.
Zipzip was afraid. His frame
quivered. He turned over and ex
pired.
What was this monster. Implacable,
Impalpable, invincible, void? Ah,
Zipzip, who ms- prevail against a
nonexistent foe?
It was a peekaboo waist!
Drink on Train Come. High.
(Dallas, Tex., Dispatch.)
George Brush, a traveler from Ken
tucky. was the most surprised man In
Texas last night.
Brush was a passenger on an In
ternational and Great Northern train
entering Palestine. Pulling a flask
from his poebet he was sampling a
fine brand of whiskey when he felt
a touch on his shoulder. Believing
so men one was about to ask for a
favor from the flask, the words
“Considei yourself under arrest”
; fairly staggered him.
A State ranger had caught him in
the act of violating the new law pro
hibiting drinking on trains. He
spent the night In jail and to-day
paid a 910 fine. It wa* the firat ar
rest under the new law.

Equality.
(J. C. Breman.)
All me n are equal in God’s sight.
Thero is no black, and there is no
white;
There is no high, and there is no
low;
There is no friend, and there is no 1
foe.
And earthly passion and earthly j
pride
The glance of the Godhead cannot
abide.
The petty distinctions of rank and
caste
Are shriveled and shrunk in the fur
nace blast
Of God’s great love when the angel
Death
Has stilled the heartbeats and stop
ped the breath.
And the gates of heaven as wide do
swing
For lowliest peasant as lorlisi king;
And the fires of hell burn Just as
bright
For the rich or poor, for the black
or white.
“The Easy Chair."
L
That is the editor’s “Easy Chair,”
At the rickety, three-legged table
there.
Hie comes in smiling, he takes a
seat,
And high on the table rests his feet;
And far from the bill collector's
stare
He leang ’way back in bis “Basy
Chair."

Then forward he bends, and his rusty
pen
Goes fifteen miles ’er the paper—*
then
Whenever a thought is left to pull,

Then the editor smiles, and—releas
