A CURTAILED INSCRIPTION
Lieutenant Governor Bruce says a
small headstone in a cemetery in the
western part of the state is pointed out
to visitors as one of the sights of the
neighborhood. It was placed over the
grave by a widower, who, while not
lacking in love for the departed one,
was penurious to a degree. He ordered
a small stone because it was cheap, and
I told the mason to engrave on it this iu
j scription: "Sarah Hackett, Aged Ninety
Years. Lord, She Was Thine." The
stonecutter said there was too much in
scription for so small a surface, but he
was told to go ahead and "squeeze it in
anyhow." Here is the inscription as
"squeezed:" "Sarah Hackett, Aged 00.
Lord She Was Thin."?California Pa
per.
First termers in congress, up to tho
present session of that august bodjT,
I have been known always as "new mem
bers"?now they rejoico in the sobri
quet of "kids." This change was pro
duced by the caustic tongue of Mr.
John Sharp Williams, the Democratic
leader, who, whilo speaking the other
day on tho subject of the rules, made a
sarcastic allusion to the "kids of tho
house." Thereupon up rose a shining
faced, beardless, thirty-year-old "kid"
from Chicago, Charles S. Wharton by
name, who calmly invited Mr. Williams
to explain what ho meaut by his ex
pression "kids of the house." Mr. Wil
liams, waving his hand toward tho
youthful member, responded: "Mrt
Speaker, with that degree of reverence
which the personal appearance of my
interrogator excites in my mind (laugh
ter and applause) 1 should say that he
is perhaps the last person in the house
who ought to ask tho question."

B. E. Kissam, a minor in the Kiuano
district, foil over a steep precipice
while hunting mountain sheep on Can
ada creek in .the Kluane district on
Monday, Dec. 11th, and as the body had
not been discovered at last accounts,
the supposition is that ho was either
killed by the fall or was injured to
such an extent that he was unable to
help himself and froze to death at the
j bottom of the canyon.
