The Hood Klver lmnd will give h concert Just liefore the meeting. l,iiffiTty'n campaign Is looming Mg, and it Is already apparent that he Ik the lending candldute. PisHntisfuc tlon with Kills for a nuiulter of yearn lias crystnlized in opposition to the present congressman and him cen tered on the aggressive l'ortluud iaw.ver, Lafferty known what Ore gon needs at the hands of the na tional government, and he has the al'llity to get It. lie stands for re turning to thin state the millions of dollars derived from the wale of pub lic lauds and put Into the reclama tion fund which Is being used for I he development of other states. Sec tion U of the Keelatnatiou Act, whL-h required return of the major portion of this money to the state which produced it, was repealed iu the last congress liy the ways and menus committee, of wlich Congressman Kills is a member. The Interior de partment has practically construed the homestead and timber land laws off the statute books. Lafferty ad vocates the creation of a federal land court, which he believes would make a man's right to take up govern ment lands worth something to him. Iu a recent speech Lafferty said: "I statu! with the progressive Re publicans and prefer the leadership of men like Cummins, Dolllver, llev eridge, M unlock nud Madison to that of Aldrich, Payne, Dalzell and Cannon. In the mutter of conserva tion, I am as pinch opposed to giving our lauds to railroad corporations and limber syndicates as anybody, but I demaud liberality toward tin poor people of the country seeking small tracts iu this slate for their own usennd benefit."

Ou oue of bis Tlslia to Paris Meholaa 11. i left alone for a moment hi his carriage. The czar wus delighted at tbe feeling of freedom and ease. Look tug oiit of the window with all tbe zest of a schoolboy playing truant, be taw before him one of those pictur esque street a rubs who seem to sprout between tbe paving stones of Parts. This particular specimen, seated ngnlnst the railings, with his nose In the air, was whistling the refrain of tbe Kusslan uutlonal hymn. Suddenly their eyes met. The street boy sprang to bis feet, lie bad never seen the em peror, but he bad seen his photograph, and the likeness was striking. "Suppose It Is Nicholas?" be said to himself, greatly puzzled. lie resolved to make sure without delay. Walking up to within a yard of the carriage and bobbing bis head, be shouted In a hoarse voice to tbe unknown foreigner: "How's the empress?" Picture bis satisfaction for. Id fact, be thought that It was only a good Joke when the stranger replied, with a smile: "Thank you, tbe empress la very well nnd Is delighted with her Jour ney." Tbe boy lost his tongue. He stared at tbe speaker in dismay and then, raising his cap, stalked away slowly, very slowly, to mark bis dignity. Nicholas II. afterward often amused himself by scandalizing tbe formal set around him with the story of this pri vate Interview with a true Parisian. McClure's Magazine. A SERIOUS PLAY. Th Author Was Willing, Though, to Turn It Into a Comedy. Tbe gallery god, uo less thun tbe putroo of tbe padded chair, aspires to write for the stage. I have a vivid rcmcmbruDce of the tirst of all tbe plays submitted for production at the New theater In New Vork. It was from an employee In a local railroad station, probably a baggage smasher, and 1 shall betray uo confidence In re cording that tbe author's name was Murphy. Though Mr. Murphy called his work a play, it wus iu reality only a scenario. It was eutltled "Jims Wife." Tbe plot was as follows: In tbe lirst act Jim bud no wife, but he took bis girl to a danee. Action They danced In act second came the "great scene." The scene was caused by the fact that Jim's girl danced with another man. Jim felt Impelled to kill him. but be refrained, retiectlug that such things did not occur in the best circles and would thus be socially unpleaslng to his lady. The curtain fell on bis act of self sacrifice In not killing tbe other dancer. Id act third there was still more action. Jim's girl rewarded him for his delleocy by marrying blm. Final curtain. "Mr. Murphy seemed weighed down by a fear that bis play was too serious for tbe New theater. In bis letter be said: "If you would rather have It a comedy 1 will send you tbe Jokes. 1 have a few jokes too." John Corbln Id World's Work. Heels to Match Walk. "In every theater audience there are critical persons who are prolific with suggestions for making tbe play more realistic," suid a stage manager. "Some of these biuts are worth con sidering too. In one play that was staged not long ago the biggest bit was made by a character actress who bad to wear down-at-tfle-heel shoes. On tbe third day of tbe New York run I received u letter from a shoemak er, who called my attention to tbe fact that tbe woman's gait and her shoes did not match. Her heels were run down on tbe outside, whereas tbe walk she assumed on the stage must inevi tably cause her shoes to run over on tbe Inside. That was a point that bad escaped the notice of everybody Id the company. Upon lookiug Into the matter we found plenty of evi dence to uphold our critic, and we se cured a pair of property shoes with ! heels worn away on tbe Inside." New Vork Press. i Tho Gegtnschein. The Gegenscbeln Is the name given to oue of tbe most Inexplicable objects known to astronomers. It Is visible Id the uigbt sky under favorable condi tions. Is rounded In outline and Is situ ated olways exactly opposite the place of the sun. It has been termed by one eminent astroocmer "a sort of comet ery or meteoric satellite" attending the earth. He supposes it to be composed of a cloud of meteors situated about a million miles from the eorth and re volving around it In a period of Just one year, so that tbe sun and the me teors are h I ways on opposite sides of tbe earth. It Is estimated that the size of this ghostly satellite may be nearly tbe same as that of the planet Jupiter I. e., about ttfl.OOO miles In diameter. Ilarper's Weekly. Caught Too Quick.
