Quay as a Scholar.
Those who have been led to be
lieve that Senator Quay's ability
was- limited to a knowledge of
practical politics have had a very
superficial acquaintance with his
real character. Quay is first of all
a student and philosopher. He
has an astonishingly wide fund of
information, and is a charming con
versationalist. Literature is his
delight. Science, philosophy, his
tory and poetry are as familiar to
him as Pennsylvania politics.
A man was sent from the Lon
don Times a year or so ago to write
au article on "Politics and Politi
cians in the I'nited States." Quay
was.suggested to him as the typical
politician. He supposed him to be
a Richard Croker, a machine boss
whose knowledge was limited to
scheming and manipulation. lit 1
visited Senator Quay at Beaver.
The •'Old Man'' was seated in his
library. The Londoner told Quay
where he was from, and said he
had called to pay liitn a little visit.
They soon became engaged in con
versation about European politics,
which drifted into history, science,
philosophy and general literature.
Three hours passed, and the man
forgot his mission. Not a word
had been spoken of practical pol
itics in the United States.
Next day he called again and had
the same experience.
He wanted to know how Quay
managed politics in Pennsylvania,
but instead had listened to a
philosophical disquisition on the
evolution of governments, and a
general survy of history, litera
ture, science and art.
He went back to New York and
sent a cablegram to his paper that
he had talked for two days with the
man who was recommended to him
as the best type of a purely politi
cal machine manager in America
and had discovered a philosopher
and a poet, and a man whose gen
eral knowledge was so broad and
so profound that he should be call
ed a savant rather than a politi
cian.
Senator Quay never affected the
oratorical art. He is not of that
temperament. It requires intense
egotism and considerable love of
ostentation to excel in the rhetoric
of declamation. Senator Quay is
modest. Hence, because he said
little, he was accredited by many
with knowing little; except practi
cal politics. But whenever Quay
has spoken or written anything it
has been masterly. At the banquet
given in his honor by his Philadel
phia friends last Tuesday night,
where there were many noted ora
tors, Quay's speech was incom
parably the best. It was richest in
thought and knowledge, and his
English was classic in its purity,
.simplicity and sententiousness.—

It is hoped that Mr. Pettigrew's
wealth will hold him to his business
instead of merely giving him more
leisure to lecture.

New Jersey is driving out mosquitos

states involved, but how about the rest

NIMROD McCANN'S MISHAP.
Case of Histaken Identity in Qame
Brings Sorry Consequences to
New York Railway Man.
! "I haven't said a word about it be
| fore," said Colonel Joe McCann, of the
: Iron Mountain Route, "and I wouldn't
j say a word about it now if the memory
of it hadn't ceased to rasp me some
what; but such being the case, and I
being able to refer to it without chok
ing, I don't mind telling you how it
happened. Don't let it go any further,
though, for if any of the alert passenger
grabbing fiends up along Broadway
should get hold of it, I'm afraid they
j would refer to it now and then when I
i was by, and the cafes are mighty handy
j and quite costly in their vicinity.
"It wasone bright October. A friend
; of mine living near the wild Pennsyl
vania woods, invited me to come and
j stay with him a week or eo and enjoy
i myself. I accepted the invitation, and,
| taking my best gun with me, for I cal
j culated on shooting something, I went.
! I was there three days. I tried my
i hand at all kinds of game, from part
| ridges to seven-uji.
"The last day I was there I went out
I after squirrels. I had never had much
; experience with squirrels, but I had a
; good gun. My friend said there were
1 plenty of grey squirrels, but no Llack
j ones. However, I hadn't roamed the
j dimlit aisles of the forest long before I
I put up a beautiful black one. It was a
i big one, too. Big as a cat.
EXULTATION.
" 'Ah!' said Ito myself. 'Ain't many
black ones, eh? Well, I'll just bag this
one and show my backwoods friend
that there are black ones, and big ones,
too, if you only know how to find 'em.'
"This black one wasn't only big and
fat, but it had a pretty white tail. I
covered it with my gun. It had stop
ped at the foot of an old stump. I shot
at it a few times, and then thought that
maybe I wasn't close enough, and I
crept up until I was very near to it.
I peppered away again, and I guess a
shot must have hit him somewhere. At
any rate, I hadn't any more than fired
that last shot when I wanted togo
home.
"I longed for the fragraut presence
of a bank of violets. The circumam
bient air was no longer freighted with
the odor of Autumnal woods. In the
ardor of tho chase I had overlooked the
physiological fact that black squirrels
never have white tails, and that such a
distinguishing trade mark is peculiarly
the possession of the aromatic polecat.
So I turned my footsteps homeward, at
every step mingling the pungency of
my presence with the mellow October
breeze.
"My kind Pennsylvania friend lives
in a snug farmhouse, built so closely on
one side to the waters 011 the murmur
ing Sinnamahoning that they flow im
mediately beneath the windows of the
chamber that I occupied.
NIGHT HAD FALLEN.
"Night had fallen when I got back to
the farm. I panned some three rods
from the house, and called my host.
He came hurridly forth and toward me,
but stopped suddenly when some dis
tance away, seized his nose between his
fingers and said:
" 'Great hemlock! Where did you
run against it?'
"I related as briefly and hurriedly as
I could the little oversight of mine that
had occurred in connection with the
white-tailed black squirrel.
" 'Fetch me out some clothes,' I said,
'l'll bury these I have on 10 feet under
the sod.'
"My friend went back and brought
me out another suit. He tied it in a
bundle and passed it over to me at the
end of a 16-foot bamboo fish pole. I
changed my clothes. Then I dug a pit
in the garden, sank the noticeable gar
ments into it and covered them up.
Then I went up to my room by the
back way and called for a tub of hot
water. My friend brought it up, a
brand-new cedar tub. I bathed and
robed myself anew.
"Then I raised the chamber window,
with the intention of dumping the re
fuse water of the bath into the stream
beneath. For an instant the falling
water glimmered in the moonlight.
Then the tub slipped from my bands,
and the next moment was riding the
waves of the rushing creek.
MORE TROUBLE.
"The night was lovely. The moon
looked down on tho misty earth and tho
shimmering river, and on a new 20-
shilling tub gliding toward tho sea. I
felt that the tub must be saved at all
hazards, and I hurried quickly out of
the house and pursued the fugitive
utensil. It tossed along on the waves
only a few feet from shore. A short
distance further down a low branch of
a big buttonwood tree projected over
the water, not more than two feet
above it.
"I hurried onto the tree and crept
out upon the limb before tho tub got
there. As the tub came sauntering
along beneath me I made a grab for it.
It was a firstrate grab, but it was only
a grab. I missed the tub and lost my
balance. The water was six feet deep
just there, and I touched bottom. I
crawled out of the water 20 rods further
down.
"The air was frosty and the water
very cold. The second hand of a watch
could hardly have made half its circuit
as quickly as I annihilated space be
tween that creek and the house.
"My friend's folks goto bed very
early. They were not aware that I had
B tepped out for a moment. When I
reached the house it was locked up
tight. I banged at the door. Present
ly an upstairs window opened cautious
ly. A head and a barrel of a shotgun
appeared in the moonlight.
" 'Who s there?' demanded a voice.
" 'Me!' I howled back.
" 'Who in Sam Hill is me?' said the
voice.
MAKES KNOWN IDENTITY.
"'Joseph P. McCann, the biggest
d —n fool that ever corraled a colony of
emigrants and sent 'em West,' I yelled.
"My friend came down and took me
in. They rubbed me down, filled me
with hot ginger tea and stowed me
away between double blankets to sim
mer.
" 'Sam,' said I, by and by, 'I guess
you may hook up in the morning and
drive me ovor to the cars. I like it
here firstrate, but I'm afraid this moun
tain air is too rich for my blood.'
"And I ended my visit nose day."—

Letter to L. K. Huntington.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: Most painters insist that
lead and oil is good for three years;
but they also insist that it needs going
over again in three years. It is as
much as to say it's a good job of paint
that lasts three yearn.
Which is true; and a better that lasts
six years. Lead and oil lasts three;
Devoe lead and zinc lasts six.
When a paint begins to let in water,
then is the time to repaint. It may be
one year; it may be ten. Lead and oil
lasts three, if well put on; lead and zinc
lasts six if ground together and well
put on. But painters are better ac
quainted with lead than with zinc.
Zinc is newer.
Devoe lead and zinc is the proper
mixture, ground in oil by machinery;
same proportions as used by the U. S.
Government.
Yours truly,
37 F. W DEVOE & Co.
——
The Torture of a Flax Shirt.
The most trying ordeal that Booker
T. Washington was forced to endure as
a slave boy was the wearing of a llax
shirt. In his autobiography, "Up From
Slavery," he says:
"In the portion of Virginia where I
lived it was common to use ilax as part
of tho clothing for slaves. That part
of the llax from which our clothing
was made was largely the refuse,
which of course was the cheapest and
roughest part. I can scarcely imagine
any torture except perhaps the pulling
of a tooth that is equal to that caused
by pulling on a new llax shirt for the
first time. It is almost equal to the
feeling that one would experience if lie
had a dozen or more chestnut burs or a
hundred small pin points in contact
with the liesb. Dvon to this day I can
recall accurately the tortures that I un
derwent when pulling 011 one of these
garments. The fact that my flesh was
soft and tender added to the pain. But
I bad 110 choice. I bad to wear the flax
shirt or n die, and had it been left to
me to choose I should have chosen to
wear no covering.
"In connection with the flax shirt my
brother John, who is several years old
er than I am, performed one of the
most I'or.s acts that I ever heard of
one slave relative doing for another.
On . everal occasions when I was being
for'-cd to wear a new fiax shirt he gen
rrensly agreed to put it on in my stead
and wear it for several days till it was
'broken in.' I'ntll I had grown to be
quite a youth this single garment was
all that I wore."
