H. Schwartz, chief of the field service, or Fred Dennett, commissioner of the land office, would be represented by counsel. At the close of the investigating committee’s session Monday afternoon Benator Nelson said that the cross examination of Lounis R. Glavis had proceeded “feebly” because of the lack of counsel.

This narrates how a famous statesman of the nineteenth century was called upon to visit his son in prison. He bitterly reproached him, remarking, “Here am I, having worked my way up from a middle class home to a great position, and when I die you will be the greatest blackguard in the peerage.” The son listened quietly and then replied, with terrible frony, “Yes—when you die.” Another of Lord Lyveden’s peerage stories Is equally piquant. The son of a peer applied to a friend in the north of England for a housekeeper and was recommended a certain Mrs. Brown. The peer wrote to the woman accord- ingly to the effect that, having learned particulars of her character, he was willing to engage her as his house- keeper and making an appointment for her to call and see him on a certain date. The good woman replied: My Lord—From what I have learned of your character I decline to enter your house. I am your lordship's obedlent servant, “$ NNE BROWN. —Westminster Gazette. The Plays Mixed.

WEDGE, JR. Directors. Misses Robber; Shoots Victim. Chicago, Feb. 3.—While shooting at an alleged pickpocket in a crowded Street Policeman‘ Sullivan shot Leon Berezniak, the man upon whom the al- leged_attempt &t robbery was made. Mr. Berezniak Was shot in the knee, but not seriously‘injured. The alleged robber was ‘captured and gave his name as John Doe. An Old Time Quack. “In the right hands it is a poor root that will not work both ways. An old quack ‘doctor, according to'the Wash- ington correspondent of the Boston Herald, was once called to see a boy ‘who had chills and fever. He proceeded to scratch the bark off a root and put some in one glass of water and some in another glass of ‘water. “Give the medicine in this glass for the chills,” he then ‘said to the lad’s mother, “but give this in the other glass when the fever comes on.” “But, doctor,” the mother protested, “t 1s exactly the same in both glass- es” “Oh, not at all,” declared the quack. “But I saw you scrape the bark off the same root and put it in each glass.” “Yes,” admitted the quack smoothly, “but you didn’t seé how I did it, my dear Iady. This for the chills I scrape up on the root, and that makes it high cockalorum. This for the fever I scrape down on the root, and that makes it low cockahighrum.” Tobacco and Tin Foil. General Winfield Scott was responsi- ble for tin foil being wrapped around tobacco. That fact came out in the legal contest over the will of the ec- centric millionaire tobacco dealer, John Anderson. Early in the forties of the last century Mr, Anderson kept a pop- ular cigar store on Broadway. Felix McClosky, for many years the tobac- conist’s salaried companion and agent, testified that 'one day, in 1843 he thought, General Scott came into the store and asked Anderson if he couldn’t devise some way of keeping tobacco so it would not be affected by age and changes in climates. '~ Ander-| son thought about it and shortly after hit upon the plan of wrapping cigars and chewing tobacco in tin foil, there- by keeping the tobacco moist for a long time. His tin foll covers became popular, and his preserved tobacco was much {n demand during the Mexican war and the California gold rush, swelling his business to enormous pro- portions and soon making him a multi- millionaire. A Comprehensive Word. The word ‘“vermin” seems to have become exceedingly comprehensive in scope now that the society which is devoted to the destruction of such creatures has included not only rats, mice, cockroaches and such small deer among them, but even cats, dogs, spar- rows and canaries, on the ground that all these transmit disease to man. By derivation (Latin “vermis”) vermin ought to mean only -worms and the like, in which literal sense Tennyson writes of the ”vermin in a nut” But the term has constantly been loosely applied to all sorts of objectionable animals, from crocodiles to foxes. Purchas told of the people of Java how they “feed on cats, rats and other vermins,” and Izaak Walton denounc- ed “those base vermin, the otters.” He used the word exactly in the tem- per in which a naughy little boy is berated as a “young varmint.”—Lon- don Chronicle, was playing “Twelfth Night” in New York, he revealed absentmindedness and greatly amused the members of his company and the audience. As Malvolio he was expressing surprise at a remark of Sir Toby. “Do you know what you say?”’ he asked. To his surprise, a roar of laughter echoed through the house, and his stage associates were convulsed. He repeated the line, putting undue emphasis on the pronoun, and again the audience shouted with laughter. It was not until after the perform- ance he learned that quite unconscious~ Iy he had been parodying the well known words of “The Private Sécre- tary.” His only explanation was that it was done in a bit of forgetfulness while thinking of the other play.— Chicago Record-Herald. A Ghost Story. Floors castle, home of the Duke of Roxburghe, was the scene of a curious psychical mystery over a century ago. Sir Walter Scott relates the incident. John, third duke of Roxburghe, who died in 1804, the celebrated book col- lector, when arranging his library em- ployed neither a secretary nor a libra- rian, but a footman called Archie, who knew every book as a shepherd does each sheep of his flock. There was a bell hung in the duke’s room at Floors which was used on no occasion except to call Archie to his study. The duke died in St. James’ square at a time when Archie was himself sinking un- der a mortal complaint. On the day of the funeral the library bell sudden- ly rang violently, The dying Archie sat up in bed and faltered, “Yes, my lord duke, yes, I will wait on your grace instantly.” And with these words on his lips he fell back in bed and died.—St. James’ Gazette. Barrie’s Critic. J. M. Barrie some years ago was persaaded to take the chair at a Burns celebration in Scotland. He was ex- tremely silent and stole away at the earliest opportunity. Next week ap- peured in the National Observer a hu- marous article entitled “Mr. Barrie In the Chair,” in which Mr. Barrie’s lack of social tact was held up to ridicule. Many people thought the writer had gone too far and protested. But the author of the article was Mr. Barrle himself. try, when the late Sir Henry Irving | to a satisfactory conclusion. PROMINENT IN MINNESO.. Sidney M. Owen, Twice Nominee for the Governorship, Is Dead. Minneapolis, Feb. 3.—Sidney M Owen, aged seventy, for twenty yedrs one of the leading agricaltural editors of the Northwest and a member of the board of regents of the etate, is dead after a lingering illness of several weeks. ‘When the Farmers’ alliance move ment was started Mr. Owen took an active interest in it and in 1890 he was the nominee of the alliance for governor and received 58,513 votes in the election at which William R. Mer riam, Republican, beat Thomas Wil son, Democrat, by less than 2,300 votes. Again in 1834, when the Farmers alliance and other reform movements had effected a political combination under the name of the People’s party, Mr. Owen was the nominee of that party for governor, receiving 87,890 votes, 34,000 more than were cast for the regular Democratic nominee, George L. Becker, and running second only to Knute Nelson.

How Ledgers Got Their Name. On the authority of the best lex)- \ cographers “ledger” is an adaptation of a once common word, “ligger,” sig- nifying any large book suited better for lying on a desk than for carrylng about. Sometimes this was applied to a large account book, cartulary, or the like, frequently a great breviary for use in church, as distinet from a “por- tas,” or small one, carried by a “book bosom priest.”” “Coucher” is another old synonym for “ligger,” the foregoer of the now genetul_ “ledger.” didate for Mayor, I hereby announce myself as a can- the election Feb. 15, next.
