Cooper said in response to questions that he was a private citizen at that time and had sald nor done nothing to provoke the attacks. Cooper said Carmack was defeated and that the attacks on him in Car- mack’s paper beoame more bitter and eontinued uninterruptedly. COOPER.

ENORMOUS LOSS BY FLOODS Damage in One Locality Estimated at s $2,500,000. Madgeburg, Germany, Feb. 24— The peril to the surrounding villages has been increased through further frosts, although the floods have slight- ly abated. The ice is now three feet thick over the agricultural lands and the river Elbe is still unable to re turn to its original bed owing to the fce blocks. Mill forces are engaged in bullding dams to prevent further inroads of the water. A semi-official #stimate of the damage done in this vicinity is $2,500,000. ) Cabinet Mesting Very Brief.

Senator Blaine sald that Ed- monds Informed him as to the $106,500 and that he (Blaine) had figured Ste: .not stop to dress, but hurried down in phenson’s expenditures upon the Mil: waukee Free Press up to $250,000.

Double Murder Suspected. ‘Whitehall, - Mont., Feb. 24—Mrs. William Crist, elghty-five years old, and John Teear, her hired man, near- 1y as old, were cremated when the cabin on the Crist ranch six miles from Jefferson was burned. It is be- Heved that the two were the victims of a double murder, the motive of .| which was robbery. Hot Scotch. The young wife dipped the ladle into the porridge and smiled Inquiringly at the overnight guest. “Will you have some hot Scotch, Mr. Dash?” she asked. Dash laughed. “Hot Scotch? Where is 1t?” said he. “Why, here, of course,” said the young wife in a perplexed tone. “Didn’t you know that oatmeal is called hot Scotch?” “Er—I”— Dash stammered, and then the young husband caught his eye, and he was silent. - “I didn’t know it myself till last year,” she explained. “T heard George Inviting his cousin over the telephone to meet him at the office and have a hot Scotch. I didn’t -know what hot Scotch was till you told me, did I, George?” George, very red, answered huskily: “No, my dear.”” Laughing at her own ignorance, the lady proceeded to serve the thick, pale hot Scotch.—New Orleans Times-Dem. ocrat. Whittier’'s Applause. In his declining years the poet Whit- tler was extremely absentminded. He attended a church meeting where there were a large number of persons. As his presence was known, it was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to quote ‘| the poet’s lines: I know not where his islands lift Thelr fronded palms In air; 1 only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care. Great applause greeted the quotation, and Whittler was noticed to join in the handclapping. “I suppose 1 must have had my mind on something else. I had no recollection of having written the verse,” he sald apologetically when his attention was called to the author- ship.—Boston Post. There is Oniy One That is Always remember the full name.

An American family who had expe- rlenced the difficulty of obtaining and retaining the services of a reliable Kkitchen girl while on a visit to Ireland became acquainted with a promising young girl and brought her back home with them. In a few Wweeks she was installed In her new home and made acquainted with her new dutles, 'Among other things she was told that it was cus- tomary when breakfast was ready to be served to ring the breakfast bell, Her “all right, mum,” came in such a confident tone that her mistress gave the matter no further thought, The following morning at 6 o’clock the family were rudely-awakened by the violent ringing’ of thé front door- bell. Thinking that a messenger must be waltlng with some unusual mes- sage, the gentleman of the house did his night-robe and opened the door. The new kitchen girl awaited him, her face beaming with a beautiful smile of triumph. Bowing low, she said in her rich Irish brogue, “Breakfast Is rendy, sor.’—Los Angeles Times. Diamond Cutting. It is sald that before the fourteenth century no one knew how to cut and polish diamonds. They were esteemed for their marvelous hardness, but not greatly admired for beauty. There is a tradition that a journeyman jeweler in Flanders, Louls Van Berghem, dis- covered the art of cutting diamond with diamond. But it is probable that he only made some notable advance in the art since associations of diamond cufters had existed in France and Flanders from the fourteenth century. Louis Van Berghem’s most famous achievement was the cutting and pol- shing of a huge diamond belonging to Charles the Bold, Charles was so de- lighted with the result that he reward- ed the artist liberally and declared that the diamond would now serve him for a bedroom lamp. - This - jewel, ‘which was found on Charles’ body aft- er the battle of Nancy, is still in ex- Istence and celebrated under the name of the Sancy diamond.—Youth’s Com- panion. He Gave Them Latin. Once, before he was president, An- drew Jackson was making a political speech in some obscure campaign in a backwoods Tennessee district. His ad- dress was very well received, but somehow there did not seem to be ex- actly the enthusiasm wanted for the occasion. Having valnly tried to “warm up” his hearers, the general was jJust going to sit down when the chairman of the meeting plucked him by the coattail. “For the Lord’s sake, general, give 'em some Latin!” he hur- rledly whispered In the speaker’s ear. “They won’t think you know anything at all if you quit like this. Smith, the opposition candidate, talked Latin to ’em half the evening.” 0Old Hickory rose to the situation. Advancing to the edge of the platform, he extended his arm and thundered out: “E pluribus unum! Slc semper tyrannis! Habeas corpus!” The audience roared with applause. The credit of the orator was saved, and the Jackson ticket won out in that county.—St. Paul Pioneer Press, - A Spoiled 8cene. B. H. Sothern once-found his wit fail him in time of need. It was in the fourth act of “The Lady of Lyons.” Sothern played Claude Melnotte, and Virginia Harned was cast as Pauline, Beausant, the villain, was pursuing Pauline, and she cried loudly for help. Claude is supposed to dash to her res- cue and catch the faintlng Pauline in his arms. Sothern dashed on to the stage, but slipped and slid, sitting down near the footlights. Losing his presence of mind, he declaimed the line: “Look up, Pauline. There is no danger.” < As Virginla Harned was standing, this was, of course, an im- possibility. By this time the audience was in an uproar, and when Arthur Lawrence, who played Beausant, scorn- fully said, “You are beneath me,” the amusement of the audience knew no bounds. The Stick For Wives. In the old Anglo-Norman marriage ceremony the gentlewoman used to promise her husband to be buxom “unto my gentil manne.” The word ‘buxom corresponds to the modern Ger- man biegsam, meaning bending or pli- ant, and the old English was “busk- am,” all of which goes to show that ‘things must have been very pleasantly ordered in the good old days that are dead and gonme. According to the old English law, which is still unrescinded In the statute book, the “gentil manne” was allowed to beat his goode wife ‘with a stick the diameter of which did not exceed a quarter of an inch.—New, York World. 4 What She Wanted to See. ! The chauffeur was taking his load of tourists for a ride through the resi-' dence portion of the metropolis and pointing out to them the state man- slons of the nabob. “I've often heard,” sald the portly dowager with the dia- monds, “of these Oliver Wendel homes. ‘Would you mind showing us one of ’em?”—San Francisco Argonaut. - 8ensi “T hear you is out of a joby Willie?” “Yes.
