The attitude of this great demo cratic country of ours toward the dlg n'.v of the individual, tr-.i security of the threshold, the right of privacy, reminds us of the old story of tto Eastern man coming to that a Ml Jumble of cowboys, bronchos, and desolation generally, called "God'a country." He reached a small town and put up a the Palace Hotel. When sho to his room he was about to remove some of the dust of God's country from himself, but found thore was no cur tain on the window. Therefore, as he had already removed his shirt for tne purpose of making his ablutions, c hung the shirt over the window In a few minutes the window wa opened and a head thrust in. "What is the matter?" said the Eastern man. "Oh, nawthin'! nawthln'!" replied tne head; "I Just wanted to see what there was so much privacy about." Argonaut Wha' She Was Cwlne.

There was an Expraaalon of Opinion When the Fond Mama Left. A certain gushing lady took her four-year-old daughter to a photogra pher. The little one could not be made to sit still. The camera man was as nice and suave as he could be, called the child all the sweet, eudear Ing names he could think of, while using every device of gentle persna slcro to make the little wlggler keep still. Finally ho turned to the de spairing mother and said: "Madam, If you will leave your darling with me for a few momenta, I think I can succeed in taking her lovely face to perfection." The mother withdrew for a short time. Soon the photographer sum moned her and exhibited a highly satisfactory negative. When they reached home the mother asked: "Nellie, what did that nice gentle man say to you when I left you alone with him?" "Well, he thald," lisped Nellie-, "if don't thit sthlll, you ugly, squint- eyed monkey, I'll thake the life out of oyur trembling cacath.' Then I that very sthlll, mamma!" Paddy's Letter.

On the way the gnniekeepe noticed that their cliurxc was In one of bis lucid Intervals n ml concluded that be would never consent to be bunded ovr to the authorities. It was decided. therefore, lo niiike him drunk, and nil three adjourned to the nearest Inn. I.e- gruud took Ills liquor kindly. So did the others. And when the trio arrived nt the asylum the governor could not make bead or tall of their story. He therefore wired to the lmiyor, asking him which was the nuin who was to be detained. The mayor replied Le grand, but the telegraphist spelled It In two words, "Le grand" (the tall one) The governor, on examining tbe three men, saw that one was much taller than the others, so be promptly clapped him into n strait wnistcoust and sent the other two nwny. It was three days later before the error was discovered. Ilinmnrek Furmivr, Bismarck could forgive, but lie wished to do It after proper solicita tion. At the beginning of the Danish war Field Marshal Wrangel, who win nt the bead of the Prussian troops, was exceedingly annoyed nt one point to be telegraphed not to advance farther, and he ri turned a message telling King William that "these diplomatists who spoil the most successful opern. tlons deserve the gallows." After that Bismarck Ignored him completely, and one day they met tit the king's table, where it wus especially awkward to preserve a coldness. Wrangel called everybody "dn." and presently lie turned to Bismarck, who was seated next him, and said, "My son, canst thou not forget?" "Xo," was the curt reply. After a pause Wrangel began again, "My sou, onnst thou not for give?" "With all my heart," said Bis marck, and the breach was healed. The Ilrdwood. Redwood forests are practically un banned by forest tires, and It Is com mon practice for the lumbermen to fell the trees and peel the bark from them and when the dry season Is on set fire to the felled timber and burn the branches and bark and other wreckage without practical injury lo the saw logs, which procedure would mean dis aster to any other wood. Redwood contains no resin or turpentine of any kind, and, owing to Its great resistant qualities In severe cllimitle conditions, Is free from cracking or divay, where cinders might lodge anil start fires.

If she likes, buy a steak and a ralad for her dinner, a paper bag of fried potatoes, sweets and sume flow ers for her window. Democracy Is king here, nnd no more attention Is paid to the millionaire who is looking for some thing marvelous which he mav pick up cheap than to the man with the wooden leg who wants a uew left boot in ex change for a dozen sardine tins, Ave gloves and a stocking." Lord Kelvin' Ilraverr. Lord Kelvin once performed a daring experiment before a class of students.

Lord Kelvin cast a look of reproach at bis class. "Didn't I tlgure It out myself?" be said quietly, ns lie walked to the apparatus and safely turned the tremendous voltage Into himself.
