While hunting for birds’ nests re- | eently in elumps of virgin forest that fringe the lake shore at Edgewater a party of high school pupils discovered a dead woodpecker hanging head downward from the limbless side of a tall tree, relates the Chicago Chron- icle.

The | rider was almost completely obseared | by dishpans, lunchbaskets and a ehcice jassertment of kitchen utensils, his nether limbs and his wind-tossed beard being the only means cf identifying him with hymanity, As he passed down the street he kept constently jingling an unmusical cowbell, which aid not affright as much eas itamused. | He was a rare street spectacle. was this movable tinshop, and street car pa- trons and pedestrians geped widely at him, But he kept steadily on his way, as though his was the most ordinary business in the world, and by and by he stopped at the house of a regular cus- tomer and sold a teapot. Farther up the street the observer caught sight of a laborer on a bicycle. He was acting 2s a steam barge for a cart loaded with plaster and building material, and he tooted an alarm signal that made mor- | ing vans and every sort of street vehi-. cle give him the right of way. | “Ah, well,” solilioquized the observer, | “the scorcher may call it ‘base uses,’ | but I believe there is some hope for the bicycle after all. As a feature of in- dustrial activity it is certainly advanc- Ing.” DOW CHINESE USE THE BIBLE. The Explanation of 2 Sudden Demand That Astonished the Mission- ary Society, -‘What becomes ef all the Bibles that go to China?’ used to bea stand- ing puzzle to the missionaries,” re- marked a Chicago preacher as he dis- cussed the Boxers. “A few years ago,” he continued, “there went up a great cry for ’mis- sionelly Bibles’ in the Flowery king- dom. The Bible society was extreme- ly gratified. The demand was unprece- dented and thousands of dollars were spent in sending Bhem nice red moroe- co Testaments. “This sort of thing went on for a long time, but the number of native converts did not increase accordingly. The missionaries investigated. What do you suppose they discovered?” | wadding?” ' “No. They made faccigokern of ‘em.

A Historic Cable. According to the Telegrapher, the cable of the Western Union which runs under Lake Champlain from Ticon- deroga to Larrabee’s Point has some- thing of a history. It was made in Europe and first connected opposite shores of the Red sea. Later it was brought to this country and connected ‘tybee Island, near Beaufort. S.C., with Hilton Head. At the end of the civil remained in the company’s storehouse until it was placed under Lake Cham- are and guided | “That they used the Bibles for gun- H war it was taken to New York city and Tixby had a famous appetite, and he was proud of it. He never seemed to miss a chance to proclaim his eapacity for absorb- ing food; no matter how much hard liquor he had consumed the nig¥t before—and he was no light drinker—he was always ready for his breakfast promptly on the moment at 8:30 o'clock in the morning. Once Bixby undertook a trip to the far west. He had a friend in Chicago whom he had not seen in years who had often ex- pressed a desire by mail to have Bixby visit him.’ So the trayeler thought it would be a good idea to stop over a day at the Windy city and look Boggs up. He wired Boggs the date of his arrival, and Boggs was at the station to meet him when the New York train pulled in at seven o'clock on a bright morning in June. Bixby, of course, was hungry. The drive through the bracing morning air sharpened bis appetite to such an extent that he felt that he could eat fried horse with relish when he reached Boggs’ house. After he was introduced to Mrs. Boggs and the children he began to fidget about and won- der if they ever ate breakfast in Chieago. There was'a hitch somewhere, that was certain, for Mrs. Boggs was called from the room by a’ seared-looking servant, and when she returned shortly ‘afterward her face was flushed and her eyes flashed fire. But she did not reveal the cause of her emo- tion. » After Bixby had suffered an hour from all the tortures that the pangs of hunger could inflict, breakfast was announced. The guest fell upon the food with a vigor that made Boggs, his wife and the children stare. We tackled dish after dish with the relish of a starved hobo and had a second helping of nearly everything on the ‘table, not to mention three cups of coffee. Ee “My appetite basn’t “left me, you see, George,” he said to Boggs. “Er—yes, I noticed that it hadn’t,” said Doggs, who was caught off his guard. Mrs. Boggs flushed and tried to switch tion, but Bixby wouldn’t per- mit it, “Breakfast, you know, was always my best hold,” he remarked, airjly. The morning” was onc continuous round of handshaking a isits to the ornate bars of the business district. Around one o’clock | Bixby began to be liungry again, and he threw out divers hints as to luncheon and its pleasures. Boggs grasped the idea at once. They were about to start for the | restaurant, when Boggs suddenly remem- bered he had an important engagement at the bank, so he posted off, promising to re- turn-in 20 minutes. It was half-past tivo when he returned to find Bixby nearly wild with hunger and impatience. At the restaurant they. ordered an elab- }orate meal, the piece de resistance of which was a_porterhouse steak’ weighing about two and a half pounds. Bixby fell to with his usual vigor and Boggs watched him eat |again with undiminished interest. Piece by piece the huge steak disappeared down the New Yorker’s throat until there was noth- ing left but the bare bone. Finally Bixby sighed contentedly and, lighting a cigar, leaned back in his chair. “TI feel better now,” he said. should think you would,” said Bog¢s, . “You're a wonder with the knife nd fork.”” “I do. enjoy a good meal,” said Bixby, “especially lunch.” “How is th i? inquired his friend, toy- ing with his coffee. ‘Because hinch wag always my best hold,” returned Bixby, calmly. “But I thought—”’ Bo s checked him- m Tae afternoon proved to be another whirl sure, Boggs got a cab and drove nd around to the ch ront and other the city, halting fre ntly, to imbibe high balls of Scotch.

BREAT WSEASURES NOW IN DEMAND, Have Been Favorably Reported On by Two \Successive Congresses— Undeserved Opposition Attrjbuta- ble Only to Filibustering Tactics, {Special Correspondence.] Washington, Jah, 24. Before these words will reach the eye of the reader, doubtless, the army reorganiza- tion bill will have been disposed of in the eenate. At this writing the majority are so wrought up over the filibustering tactics pursued by a few populists who have been discredited by their own home states, and by a few renegade'republicans, who feel that they must oppose everything that will in any way strengthen the hands of the ad tration, that there is every indication of some vigorous talkng, and, if that don’t work, then some vigorous action, thut shall effectually squelch these hypocritical ene mies of American progress. Asa matter of fact, when the people, by their votes, in last November, indotsed the administration and reelected President Mc- Kinley, the eonie also indorsed the prin- ciples and the polices advocated by the re- publican party and by President McKinley, These senators, however, who are now op- posing administration measures, like the army biil, for instance, know very well i deed -that they are attempti ng to thwart the will of the people i in taking whatever a tion may be necessary to force to the rear where they belong th and none republi that the filibuste in the cenateis no’ that measure as it bill, ther great me demanded by reput nm the national convent » year after yé which has been before two succe: gresses, and twice {: bh: passage by both t committees having a charge. it is being seen, now, that the shipping b. does not deserve this aspersicn. The arm, bill, on its’ own merits, is cpposed by oe fag ends of repudiated and diseredited an bobtail parties, sdlely to embarrass the es: ident, and to give aid and. comfort to tie nation’s enemics in the Philippnes. The shippng bil}, too, ctanvs upon its cwn merits, and will, by the time this reaches the reader’s eye have been restoi sition of precedence as unfinich: if it has not been passed by the sen. After the expel the senate have undergone in the discussion of the army bill théy will be in no kind of a mood to sit tamely and permit the so- valled “kickers” in the senate io occupy time in filibustering. And after the ship ping bill has been finally » it wilt be discovered that the filibustering tactics of the pops and renegade republicans will be just as much in evidence, no the measure that they may cussion. In short, the real purpose of the filibus- terers is to delay action on al! adm: tion measures, even the appropriation bills, in‘ order to embarrass the president and compel him to’call congress in extra ses- sion. If this déspicable plan is successful, then these very people who have caused the extra session by preventing action upon im-> portant measures during the time available will be the finst to excoriaté the president and the republican party, for what they will charge as extravagance, and a desire to put through all sorts of indefensibie measures, The worst of it all is that, although the sin- cerity of a number of these objectors oh long been questioned, it is only recently th: their personal honesty hes been aie but such pointed suggestions have been care ried from them to.those in control of af- | fairs on the other side that “for a | eration” “they would cease thtir tion,” that the most unworthy of tives now seems to be at the bottor | of the most active and malignant of | ponents, But ave under dise C7The effect of the passage of the ehin- } ping bill will be two-fold: 1.
