Wate of Colorado is an original char- acter, and, while he has broad theories as to national finance, he has never been able to make a personal ap- plication of these theories to the extent of accumulating much filthy lucre,” said Stanley Wood of Colorado. “The ex-Governor's son-in-law is a highly respected newspaper editor and proprietor, and has always been astanch Republican in politics. “When Waite became the candidate of the Popu- lists for Governor his son-in-law had a hard proposition to solve. As a Republican he could not consistently vote for the Populist candidate, much less could he advocate his election editorially, but as a loyal and af- fectionate relative he was bound to give both his voteand his voice to his father-in-law. While the struggle was going on in his mind a friend approached him and said: “*Your father-in-law is a Populist, you area Repub- lican, Are you going to support your father-in-law during this campaign ?? ** The editor pondered a moment and then replied: ‘As I have supported him for the last five years I don't see any reason why I should change my course now.’ —Chicago Times-Herald, Tiere is a story current in the London clubs that arelative of the late General Gordon, in order to keep alive in the memory of Li Hung Chang the recollection of his former coadjutor, sent him asa gift an uncom- monly fine bull pup.

Two amateur hunters in the northern woods, not long ago, saw a deer, and both fired at once. “That is my deer,” said A. ‘I shot it.” “No, you didn't,” hotly replied B. ‘It is my deer, because I killed it.” A third party was approaching from the opposite direction, with fury in his eye and a club in his hand. “*Which of you two rascals shot my calf ?” roared the farmer. “That fellow just told me he did it,” said A. And B, now thoroughly alarmed for his personal safety, answered : “He lies. He shot it himself. L'll swear to it."— The Intertor. I saw him do it, and NOT many years ago, according to the annals of the India Office, a queen's messenger, or some other inferior official, was robbed, though not injured in any way, on his road to Cabul, and the British Government, of course, wrote to complain of it. No reply was received for months; but at last the Emir wrote: ‘The matter you mention has been thoroughly investigated, and not only have the robbers of your messenger been put to death, but all their children, as well as their fathers and grandfathers. I hope this will give satisfaction to her majesty the queen."—Argonaut. ENR Dy 8 Sir 42pny CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, NEW York, THE SPRIGHTLY ROMANCE OF By Molly Elliot Seawell.
