Glasgow to be Chairman,
Mr. Guthrie, representing the Re-
organizers, " and Mr. Ritter, who
stands for the ‘' old guard,” have
agreed that William A. Glasgow, Jr,
of Philadelphia, shall be the tempo-
rary chairman of the Democratic con
vention next Tuesday.
Ritter, by foul means, has been en-
deavoring to secure certificates issued
to ¢ Reorganizer Democrats. Of
course, it matters little how many of
these certificates he secured. It is vot-
ing that counts, It is hard for this
element to part with the tricks of the
trade.

The First Japanese In America,
The first Japanese who ever came to
America as far as Is known was Man-
Jiro Naknbama, a fourteen-year-old
lad, who was picked up by the captain
of an American fishing vessel In 1841,
twelve years before the coming of
Commodore Perry to Japan. Naka-
hama, with four companions, had sail
ed out into the ocean on a fishing ex-
pedition, their boat bad been wrecked
by a storm, and they were finally
washed ashore on a desert island in the
northern Pacific. Three months of dire
privation were passed on the island
before the little party was rescued by
the American vessel. His companions
were left in Hawail, but Nakahama,
who became a great favorite of the
captain, wes brought to the United
States and sent to a New England
school. And when Commodore Perry
came to Japan, Nakahama was able to
act as interpreter in the negotiations
carried on between the American en-
voys and the Japanese feudal govern-
ment authorities.—Dr. Jokichi Taka-
mine in Oriental Review,
Beavers’ Work,
The beavers not only cut down treet
for the purpose of making dams, but
also use the smaller upper branches as
a storage supply of food for winter use,
These branches, from two to four inch-
es in diameter, are cut into lengths of
two or three feet and then by wonder-
ful engineering abllity are carried be-
neath the water and into the beavers’
houses, or the burrows, with which the
bank of every beavers’ dam is honey-
combed. Here they are carefully stor-
ed. The green bark is the staple arti-
cle of food throughout the winter.
The dams are of varying height and
length, according to the particular lo-
cation. I found a dam in Mesa county,
Colo, which was just six feet from
bottom to top and Impounded a body
of water six feet or more in depth and
covering an area of several acres. This
dam was perfect In construction. It
was composed entirely of willow bush-
es, a8 no large timber grows in the vi
clnity.—~Our Dumb Animals.
His Cheapest Poker Game,
In a mining locality is a miner who
feeds his money into the games around
town as regular as pay day comes
around. One Sunday, as the story goes,
the “gang” was “sitting in" a game at
the regular meeting place. There was
no room left at the board for any one
else to “sit in.” Presently the habitues
heard the famillar tread of the miner
He knocked on the door with the regu
lation secret as a sign that he
wished to deposit some more money io
the bank. The crowd was very busily
engaged, and wit in the crowd
yelled out to the miner: “No room In
this game for you, Skinny. Just throw
your money over the transom, and
we'll divide it up!” And Bkinny shot
a two dollar bill over the transom

Handy With His Fists,
Admiral Wilson of the British navy
won his Victoria cross at the battle of
21 Teb in 1884. There was a gap In
the square, and five or six of the en
emy nade a viclous rush forward, at
tempting to get inside. Captain Wil
son, who was present with the naval
brigade, advanced to meet them alone,
but his sword broke in the endeavor to
cut one of the intruders down. Here
upon the officer, instéad of beating a
basty retreat, stood his ground and be
gan bowling over the enemy with his
fists. Either from the nature of the
ground or, as the record puts it, “the
surprising nature of his attack,” Cap
tain Wilson escaped with a few
wounds and was rescued by the square
closing up round him. Sir Redvers
Buller described the act as the most
courageous he ever witnessed.
