It is QoTernor Atjreid now. Hereafter it will be Private Joe in eality. All the governors of all the states are recommending good roads. For the first time in its history the country ia abso lutely nanimoas. St. Louis Republic: Our esteemed friend, Frivate Fifer. is perhaps even handsomer than when he was elected governor of Illinois. And what is bet ter still, he knows more. Cedar Rapids Gazette: Illinois de feated Iowa in the boundary rlisuu e b fore the supreme court. The miJdle or the Mississippi river is the middle of the the ntvighblo channel. Now just ob serve Iowa move thst channel toward the eastern bank. It is a downright mean trick for the supreme court to ger rymander our water supply. Editor George Van Cohxe, of the Muscatine Neas-Tribuae, iecen'ly sub mitted to to a painful operation in the removal of a tumor from the left limb which was 8uccessful:y acorop'.ished, and wi:h the belief that the i a it nt would soon be ia the enjoyment of bis usual health. But it was not to be that wiv. Evidence was noted by the surgeons that the csus j of the trouble abided, &ad thit amputation of (be limb would be neces sary. Mr. Van Hcrne was not informed of the ordeal which awaited him, until ifter the Christmas holidays were over. The operation has been performed, anr whi'e the outcome is not assured, hi condition is such as to give the sureoni and family hopes that the wor?t is over At a Dinner In Korup. Upon the three woolen couches which formed three sidesof a square in the center of the room there reclined nine Romans, for the giver of the feast hml borne in mind the Paying of Varro that those invited should never be niore in number than the muses nor le?s than the graces. The quests wore wreatlis of roses upon their oiled locks most of them, although one, whose white tunic bore tho single dark stripe of a senator, had pre ferred the crown of ivy leaves. Thecouchw whereon they reclined were of wood thickly incrusted with ivory, and made easier by many cushions covered with light silk. The guests leaned on their left elbows, and ate with their right hands only. At the end of the course silent servants brought water in silver bowls and proffered linen napkins that the fingers might be washed, while Bnother attendant wiped the low wooden table with a thick cloth. In the open space before the table and the couches other slaves were casting down saffroned dyed sawdust, that it might absorb the blood which lay ia little pools upon the pale pavement. There the gladiators had been fighting but a mo ment before, to entertain the guests at the banquet, and having given strong proofs of their skill and of their courage they had been dismissed, and were now behind the house, out of sight, one trying to stanch Lis wounds, the other stiff in death and carried by his comrades. Bran der Matthews in Harper's. The Origin of "Brother Jonathan." It seems strange to speak of the United States as "Brother Jonathan," and the wonder is how it ever began; but on in quiring into the matter we find that tba custom arose from an ordinary remark made by General Washington at the be ginning of the Revolutionary war. On going to Massachusetts to organize the army he found it scant of ammunition and all means of defense, and no one could suggest any way out of the difficulty. Something must he done at once for the public safety, and General Washington, who had great confidence in the judgment of Governor Jonathan Trumbull, of Con necticut, said in his dilemma, "We must consult Brother Jonathan on the subject." "Brother Jonathan" was equal to the oc casion, and supplied many of the lacking necessities, and afterward durirjg the war it became the custom in any emergency to say, "We must consult Brother Jonathan." In time the name became applied to the whole country, and it is pleasant to know that the great Washington himself was the originator of it. Harper's Young People. To Prevent the Grip Or any other similar epidemic, the blood and the whole system should be kept in healthy condition. If you feci worn out or have "ihat tired feeling" in the rmrrj inpr, do not be guilty of neglect. Give immediate attention to yourself.

At dinner recently an old fogy had been harrying the company with stupid and un pleasant remarks about- natural liistorv At length, in that peculiar tone of voice in which theological questions arc uttered In the pulpit, the fogy said, "Has an oyster brains?" "Certainly." replied the "host, "for an oyster knows when to 6hutup." Minneapolis Times. Tested and Approved-L M.

How the Inmatrs of English Almshouses Get Their Kntertalnmeor, "We have far iwtter amusements in the workhouse than most people think," said an old inmate to one of our representatives the other day. I don't mean such things as cards, domino's and ttie like, but real, first class, professional affairs. But you have to pay for Vrn oh, yes. "Now, there's n old fellow in my 'house.' He was an actor and can still remember every line of Shakespeare. We often make up an ounce of tobacco among us, and he'll give us a w lole act of 'Hamlet.' He is not above taking half an ounce for the recital of a scene or two. Only last week he was in grand form. Twenty of us man aged to subscribe a matter of fifteen pence, and we sat during the whole afternoon lis tening to a complete recital of 'The Mer chant of Venice.' "I know of an old Crimean hero. Ha goes on another t ack. He has a wonderful appetite. For a bit of his next door neigh bor's meat or pudding, or a portion of his soup at dinner, he will take him in a cor ner and tell him stories of the war for half an hour. He al vays winds up with a capi tal rendering of 'The Charge of the Light Brigade,' in which a brother of his wa killed. "I have seen thirty little screws of tobac co put in an old sailor's cap making alto gether perhaps itn ounce and a half or se in return for which he will spin sea yarns by the mile. He never tells the same yarn twice. We t all him Sea Serpent Sam, and I don't kne w a man who better do serves the title. He's a masterpiece! "The women? Oh, yes, they are not for gotten. I can t-ll you this: There are a couple of old ladies in our house. One has been an operatic chorus singer. She knows a score of operas, and for a trifle will sing you anything yon like, both in Italian and English. Bless you, her voice isn't half bad, and I should say she once had a very good one. "But give me the old lady w ho dances. She says she was ouce a principal daucer. She's sixty-five f she's a day, but I've seen her dance a highland fling to perfec tion. I remember once a couple of us old fellows laid dowL our two sticks on the pavement of the -xercise ground. Believe me, sir, she set all our feet going with her sword dance." London Tit-Bits. Good Horses and Fairly Treated. High tide in H jboken, and the floating bridges h-adin to the ferryboats are pretty steep hills for horses to climb, especially if the lo;:d is hea y, and many heavy loads come from Hobo! en. Here are two b,g gray horses coming up the bridge, piill.ng a heavy truck piled high with .some sort of imported mer chandise in cases. The bridye is a little slippery, and niaj be the horses are rather smooth shod, for .hey slip to a standstill, but the truck doesn't go back; a watchful ferryhand slips a block under the off rear wheel. The driver upon his high seat now reclines with a slightly blase air, as though driving w ore rather a bore to him anyhow, Rnd he i. glad to give it up for a time. The horses stand at rest. The pro cession of horses and vehicles coming in from the street chses up solid and halts. Passengers comi ig aboard stop at the rear end of the ferryboat, look at the stalled team and wonder how and when the blockade will be raised. After awhile, St :;cems a long time, though in reality it is o: ly forty-five or fifty sec onds, tho drive- appears to wake up, he sits up, he gatl era up the reins. The horses seem to become riid. The driver doesn't hurry tlii-ia nor fret them at all; he knows them. Tl i-y are good horses not blooded, but ue nevertheless clean throni;h. Stiddeniyihey spread themselves and dig their toes into the planks. Snakes, how they do pu II They fairly lift that heavy load off its feet; it has to como, and they pass on oloa-d the bout greeted with jiods and shouts of approval from the spectators. 2s ew lork Sun. The Troubles of Bus Conductors. An old lady ha led a passing omnibus, which pulled up at her call. "Goodby, then, my dear," &m she to a female friend who had accompanied her. "I'll write and tell you how I jet on directly I've got there. You've g t my address, haven't you? No? Why, I thought I gave it to you. It's in this bag, I suppose, under my pocket handkerchief and my key and packet of Rudwi.;hes. Oh, I'll coma o it directly. I'd bet-er give it to you now, else when I writ a I may forget to' send it, That's not it, is it? No, that's (be prescription. There there you are! 'And you won't forgut to write? If yoa see Mrs. Brovvt you must remem ber me kindly. She's a sweet woman, isn't she? And to think she should be married to such . brute! But that's the way of the world all over. It's just like my poor dear si: ter Maria. She was as meek as a lamb never did a bad thing or said a bad word of anybody that ever I heard of. Drat that conductor's impu dence! If he hasn't gone again! Now I shall have to wait for the next." London Tit-Bits. How Typewriters Differ. The quality of u liformity is one in which good typewriters may differ greatly. Some strike harder with the right hand than with the left, and thus stamp their work indelibly. Others occasionally "shadow" letters that is, blur their outlines, by holding the key down too long or by strik ing it sideways. Perhaps the idiosyncra sies of punctuation are the most trust worthy earmarks of all. Then force of habit impels operators never to vary from their own practice in given cases. Take the sentence, "When did you go there Monday?" One mm would put a question mark after "there;" another a comma; still another a dt sh or a semicolon. A comma and a dash, a semicolon and a dash might also be used. A skilled man always follows his own usage iu such cases. New York Tribune. . . A Mat to:- of Errertlnf-. Ju.st why people should expend no end of time and money on the rearing of horses and cattle, taking every precaution that their development is symmetrical and har monious, and apparently feeling no inter est in what their own children are to be, is a question that hilosophers might well take up and stut y. Evidently there is something wrong somewhere, and the sooner the error is discovered and bred out of the human family the better it will be for the future of the human race.

Birds In Indian Legends. All primitive people regard the bird as specially wise and favored. Living in the air he is regarded as exercising control over atmospheric phenomena, and know ing so well his own migratory seasons the Indiaus observe his flights as foreboding ill or good to themselves. The Hurons believe that the dove carries the souls of the departed hence. The Da kota say the stormbird dwells so high as to be out of l:ii man vision and carries a fresh water lake on his back, so that when he plumes biuiseif it rains, when he winks his bright eyes it lightens, when he flaps his wings thunder rolls. The Alaskans hold much the same idea about the "thuu derbird." Among them all the eagle is mighty, brave, aspiriug the symbol of their war riors for apparent reasons. The kingfisher is anxious to serve his brother man. Min neapolis Journal. Alovefiocg In M Hat. "My modest, match 'es- Madeline! Mark mv m - odions mldni-:a' moans; Sluih may my melting mui-i; menr.

Some people are just now earnestly dis cussina the nuestion of cloakrooms in churches, referring to the absence of and ! absolute necessity for facilities for dispos ing of wraps, hats, umbrellas and over coats. Some churches have wire hatracks beneath the seats, and a few have wire bars for overcoats and wraps on the backs of seats. One church in Chicago has regular opera chairs ami the attendant conveniences.
