sole desire; Clay, “would rather be
right than president;” Roosevelt

Clay studied only his country’s good,

of (lie smallness of the stun subscribed
he declined, and Thor tvaldsen wilt

Ireland, declined to give permission to
have it set up in the abbey, and, owing
to this difficulty, which proved insur
mountable, for I)r. Ireland’s successor

for upward of twelve years in the cus

A Model Surveyor.
The Kingman Leader-Courier tells of
an early day county surveyor in King
man county, Kan., who neither pos
sessed any instruments nor could have
used them if he lmd. His method of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with a cord that was just
long enough to allow- him to step one
flftli of a rod each time, and thus hob-'
bled he would strike out, counting his
steps until ho had made a sufficient
number to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him in
fastening his legs together, says the
Leader-Courier, was made of raw
hide, so that when he was traveling
through the grass of a morning when
the dew was on it would become wet
and stretch nearly a foot, and so his
steps were much longer of a morning
than they were of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
having his land surveyed in the morn
ing would have much more in his
quarter section than his neighbor who
had his work done in the afternoon.
These old surveys and corners then es
tablished cause annoyance even to this
day.

Booker is a real negro, not one of
the half-dipped kind, an educated,
shrewd negro, but with a yearning to
wipe out the color line, as Roosevelt
can make oath to. Ho is the unques

they have unbounded confidence, and
through him the votes of the negro
delegates can be had. Roosevelt has
been counting tlie political pulse-beats

Booker’s ebon legs under the White

Part Manilla ami Purt Idiot In Wliat

I have spent much of a long life in
the observation of horses. 1 have
reared them, broken them, trained
them, ridden them, driven them In ev
ery form from the plow to four-in
hand. The result of these years of
study is summed up In one sentence —I
believe the horse, to he part maniac
and part idiot. Every horse at some
time in ids life develops into a homi
cidal maniac. I believe any man who
trusts himself or his family to the
power ol' a horse stronger than himself
to bo lacking in common sense and
wholly devoid of ordinary prudence,
writes a Kentuckian to Harper’s Week
ly. 1 have driven one commonplace
horse every other day for six years
over the same road and then had him
go crazy and try to kill himself and
me because u leaf fluttered down in
front of him. 1 have known scores of
horses, apparently trustworthy, appar
ently creatures of routine, go wild and
insane over equally regular and recur
ring phenomena. No amount of ob
servation can tell when the brute will
break out. One mare took two gener
ations of children to school over the
same quiet road and then in her nine
teenth year went crazy because a
rooster crowed alongside the road.
She killed two of the children. If any
one can tell me of one good reason
why man should trust a horse, I should

From the medical standpoint singing
Is u most important exercise both by
virtue of its influence on the emotions,
on the respiratory movements and on
the development of the lungs. Nothing
better shows the beneficial effect of
singing in developing the chest and
warding off the lung diseases than the
great pulmonary development and free
dom from pulmonary disease among
professional singers. Their general
health, moreover, is exceptionally good,
and this is probably in a large meas
ure attributable to the mere exercise
of the calling. It is especially useful
In defective chest development and in
chronic heart disease. Provided the
patient can sing with comfort there is
no condition in which singing is con
traindicated unless it he a tendency to
tuberculosis oraneurismal biemoptysis.
It is scarcely necessary to gay that the
singer should be so clad as to allow
absolute freedom of the chest move
ments, there should be no constriction
of the neck or waist, the collar should
be low and ample and the stays, if
worn, ample and loose.
Why SuvaKCN Turn In Their Toes.
In tlie first place, the foot naturally
takes that position when it has never
been confined by boots or the ankle
distorted by high heels. Convenience
Is also ori the side of the natural posi
tion of the foot in the case of the sav
age, for he has to do much walking
through long grass and undergrowth
in forests. Consequently his progress
would lie much Impeded if he turned
his toes out to catch these obstacles
Instead of brushing them aside and
outward, as he now does’. Lastly, the
savage uses his foot much more as a
help to his hands than xve do, and it
is obvious that in doing this he must
turn his toes in.

lor and Grant in the White House,
and being a (in soldier himself, he is
strenuously working uie same vein
himself, having jumped the claim. His
despicable treatment of General Miles
and Commodore Schley, who were
mentioned for the presidency, was
from fear and jealousy, as tney seem
ed to be formidable opponents,
rule of “absolute passiveness."
The man who goes into a presiden
tial convention with the negro dele
gates from tlie South at his back,
handicaps his opponents just that
much and, these have always been
for sale. John Sherman went to Chi-
Asa civil service commissioner, his
motto was “Let no guilty man escape,”
his maxim now is “Save those who
know how to work a convention or
bribe a legislature,” and straightway
grants RatKbone, the Cuban thief, a
new trial, thereby usurping judicial
power, as he can only pardon after
conviction, but not grant anew trial.
A reformer who denounces and then
embraces corruption cannot sincerely
oppose the trusts.
But Toedy is galloping over the
field alone now, and the dark horse
is being groomed in the convention
stall. He lias the faculty of making
bitter pol.ucal open foes, as well
as those who do not show decid
ed resentment, and the last- are most
to be feared. Many tolerate him, give
him the glad hand, who will -combine
to crush him next, year; his pet con
gressional measures have already met
defeat.
There is a man in the Senate pursu
ing the even tenor of his way that, will
jar him in the convention, “a locomi

Giant of his party, who, however often
he may oppose, never makes enemies;

FIRING A SALUTE.
The Way Two An \al Greenhorns Did
II on n Warship.
“On one of Uncle Sam’s warships
once," said a naval officer, “we had
enlisted among our able seamen two
Irishmen, Mike and Barney. They had
come aboard three days after they hud
lauded in the couutry, hut they learned
some tilings so quickly that they had
acquired a very definite idea of the
meaning of the Fourth of .Tuly long be
fore the day arrived, which was some
thing like a month after we had sailed
on our cruise. It chanced that the two
were on an early morning watch to
gether when Independence day dawned,
and they at once began to plan for Its
proper welcome. They seemed to real
ize, you see, that there was necessity
for an unusual display of patriotism.
“Barney suggested they fire a salute
from one .of the forward eight pound
era, but Mike feared that would rouse
the entire ship. ‘Niver moind,’ an
swered Barney. ‘Do ye hold a bucket
ferninst the muzzle, an’ ’twill deaden
the sound.’ And three minutes later
that gun went off with such a roar as
brought every man of the crew out of
the midst of peaceful dreams.
“I sent for Barney. ‘Now, my man,’
said I, ‘tell me everything.’
“‘Sure,’ lie faltered, ‘it was only a
hit uv a cilibration because uv our in
dipindence.’
“ ‘And where’s Mike?’ I demanded.
“‘Captain, dear,’ lie groaned, ‘he
whit aftlier a bucket uv wnther, an’ if
lie comes back as quick as lie wint he's
due roigbt now.' ”
And then the officer closed ids story
with the simple statement, “But Mike
was never recovered.”

Two meu—William Jones and John
Smith—were neighbors and deadly en
emies. They often crossed swords in
court and out of it, and Junes, being
what might be called more clever than
Smith, invariably got the better of the
encounter. In the end so cowed was
Smith that the slightest move on the
part of Jones made him nervous and
suspicious, and with the remark, “I
wonder what object he has in this?”
he called up all ids reserve faculties to
combat the fresh attack which poor
Jones never contemplated.
One day a friend called on Smith and
greeted him with:
“Well, old man, have you heard the
news?”
“No,” said Smith. “What news?”
“Jones is dead. lie died last night
at midnight,” replied the other.
Smith paused, drew a hard breath,
raised Ids hand to his forehead and
thought, then blurted out:
“Dead, did you say —Jones dead?
Great heavens, I wonder what object
he has in this?”
