* Booming Hanna for President.
Indianapolis, Jan. Ir .-The en
tire state is being flooded with
literature mailed from Chicago
booming Hanna for the republican
nomination for president.
On the Island of Trinidad oil
is found amid a huge tropical vege
tation and Is said to be of first class
illuminating power. A Canadian
company is exploiting the field. It
is intended to build a pipeline, by
means of which the oil will be con
veved to the harbor of the Port of
Spain.
.The announcement that Sir
Thomas Lipton is to build another
cup challenger may be taken- as
evidence that he is still convinced
that it pavs to advertise.
Rabbit Hunting Right.
Rabbit hunters of Laurens coun
ty, and particularly Mr. W. F.
Wright and his neighbors, will
read with interest that the rabbit
drive on lower Butter creek, in
Echo, Oregon. on the 1ith inst
was the largest in the history of
the Northwest, 700 men, women
and children participating. Ten
thousand rabbits were killed. The
rabbits came in such droves and
with such a wild rush that they
could not get into the corral fast
enough and they piled up fully two
feet deep, hundreds smothering to
death. Two persons were seriously
injured.
Mother Goose Revised.
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and
the fiddle, the cow jumped over
the moon, says the New York
Sun.
"It was the only course open,'
she explained; "with turkey s:
high, I had to do something to
catch up."
Seeing the little dog laugh, she
comforted herself with the thought
that he would soon be sausage.
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
eating his Christmas pie.
"I inserted my thumb," he
lisped, "becahse it isn't polite to
eit pie withsa knife."
Feeling himself an infant Ches
terfield, he continued his repast.
The Old Woman Who Lived in a
Shoe was sobbing.
"I made a big mistake," she
cried. "I should have chosen a
Christmas stocking."'
Thereupon she wept af-esh at the
thought of all the presents she was
missing.

THE FIRE CROWD.
Is a Rule It Likex a Big'Blaze and
Craxhinx Walls.
"There is one curious thing connect
ed with fires." said a thoughtful man.
"and that is the fact that while the
fireman is always a hero in the public
estimate and while men and women
have all kinds of admiration for these
brave fellows they yet want to see
them get the worst of it in the fight
against the fLames. It is an interesting
fact that the average man and woman
are not at all anxious to see the firemen
get the fire u2der control. They would
much rather see the flames spread un
til the affair developed into an im
mense conilagration. Mind you. the
trait is not at all vicious. There is no
malice in it. It is simply the love of
excitement and adventur.e. things that
are so deep rooted in human nature
that we may not control them at will.
Besides, we want to develop our he
roes' to the limit. We want our fire
men to tight a good fight against long
odds and iudei& grea: difficulties. We
cannot quarrel with this feeling in the
human makeup.. After all, it Is what
one may call the poetry of human na
ture, and without it this old system of
ours would be dull and prosaic.indeed.
Of course. you will always find a few
persons around a fire who are directly
concerned in the fight the firemen are
making. They want to see the fiames
put 'out. In the case of some of the
spectators it means bread and meat.
It means the loss of a position or may
be the loss of home. But I was speak
ing of the vast majority of men and
women who gather to witness a fire.
The fire is the thing with them. They
want to see a big blaze and hear the
crash of the walls and all that sort of
thing. Did you ever take the trouble
to analyze a fire crowd? In the first
place an alarm of fire will draw a
crowd quicker than anything in the
world. Whenever the bells begin to
clang a. d the enines go rushing down
the streec you will see men, women and
children rushing this way and that in
order to see as much as may be seen
of the fire and fire fighters. . The hour
of day or night does not tiake so much
difference. The crowd will get there
in some way and for some reason,
though the great majority of the per
sons have no sort of interest other than
idle curiosity. Once on band, they
want to soee a good fire, and that's why
I say they want to see the flames get
the best of the firemen. They will go
away and talk about what a game fight
the- fire laddies made. Human nature
is a cnrious thing, is it not?"-New Or

"I don't know why it is,'.' said Mr.
Glossup as he came downstairs red
eyed and sleepy and greeted his guest,
"but I never can get used to the strik
ing of that clock in our room.
"It has such a loud, insistent 'bang'
when it strikes the hours that it wakes
me up nearly every time. We've had it
in the house two or three years, but I
can't become accustomed to It. We
would have put it in the attic long ano,
only it's a present from my wife's
mother, and that would never do. Good
clock, too, aside from that, but it wor
ries me nearly to death. I wish I knew
what to do with it."
"Wihy don't you wind merely the
timekeeping part of it," said his guest,
"and let the striking part go un
wound ?"
"Johnson, you have saved my life!"
exclaimed Mr. Glossup joyfully. "I
never thought of that." .
