One day a group of representative were "gathered in the cloak room of the bouse, discussing matters of gen era! Interest In the course of the con versation Representative Cannon (now the speaker sid to Speaker IIender son: "I would rather be speaker of the house of representatives than pres ident of the United States." The pos sibility of Mr. Cannon's election was not In sight then, and Mr. Metcalf, who chanced to be present, remarked to him, half laughingly: "Well, if you are ever a candidate, Vnele Joe, I will vote for you.1' Time passed on, as it has & way of doing, and it was not long before "Uncle Joe" Cannon was a candidate for the speakership. Among those who were his rivals for the place was Representative Dalsell, of Penn sylvania, who was probably Secretary Metcairs nearest and dearest friend In the house. The ties of affection pulled his way, but the promise, given half Jestingly though it was, pointed in another. Mr. Metcalf explained the situation to Daltell and voted for Cannon. Sunset Magaslne for August. . Kuropatkln will be only 56 years old next month. He is an inspiring figure, trusted because he has never been afraid. Five years ago Kuropatkln was warned that the great powder maga slne at St. Petersburg was to be blown up within twenty-four hours and the magaslne at Toulon, too. Toulon was outside his sphere, but Kuropatkln, who received the warning while In bed. rose and went at once to the St. Petersburg magazine stores. Calling together of fleers and men, he inspected the stores, declared the Inspection satisfactory and gave every man three days' leave of absence as a token of his pleasure, Other guards and sappers were sum moned, a rampart was dug around the magazine, and before night it was cer tain that any danger that had existed had been averted. Nothing happened, but the next morning the powder mag azlne in Toulon was blown up. Kan sas City Journal. King Edward Is not so tall as many people Imagine, and whenever his maj esty is photographed in a group he Is invariably asked to stand on some small eminence, such as a step, in order that he' may compare as well as pos sible with those about him. In his stocking feet he is Just S feet 7tt Inches. His majesty wears boots with high heels, and his total height as he walks is 5 feet 814 Inches. Jay Cooke, 84 years old, Is an en thusiastic angler along the New Jersey coast At Beach Haven, a few days ago, the old-time financier landed 177 weakflsh and four other members of his party added 297 more to the catch. Mr. Cooke sent the entire lot to the members of his Bible class in Ogontz, Pa. The class has been one of his hob bles for the past fifty years. The sultan of Turkey has seventy- one titles and on the parchment con taining them are the words, "as many more as may be desired can be added to this number." Among the titles are "Abdul Hamld, the Eternally Victor ious," "the Eternally Smiling," "the Eternally Invincible," "Distributor of Crowns to the Heroes Seated on the Thrones" and "Shadow of God on Earth." The shah of Persia has also many pompous titles, among them being "Lu minous Star of the Firmament," "the One Star That Gives Light to the Ter restrial Planet," "Pivot of the Uni verse" and "the Magnetic Center of the Globe." The funniest title, however, Is borne by the ruler of Ava, a small kingdom on the borders of Afghanis tan. This monarch signs all the de crees as follows: "Signed and sealed by the King of Kings, whom all the world should obey because he pre serves life in all human beings, be cause he regulates the seasons, be cause he is the father of the sun, and because he is the king of the universe." Beerbohm Tree tells that recently while playing golf he had a particu larly silent and stupid-looking caddie, who followed close at his heels, without saying a word. But since silence some times speaks louder than words, the actor was nervous and, after a particu larly bad drive, which seemed to de mand an apology: "Did you ever see a worse player on these links?" The caddie said nothing. A still worse drive from the next tee called forth the same query, followed by the same silence. Finally, "I say, did you ever see a worse player?" The caddie stared silently for a few moments. "I heard what ye said rlcht enough," he at last slowly replied; "I'm Just theenklng." Omaha Bee. , John Nicholas Brown, of Rhode Island, is only i years old, but he is rated worth 110,090,000. His fortune came from his father and an uncle, In equal amounts, before he was I months old.

Armstrong, assistant secre tary of the treasury, relates that a newly appointed collector In one of the Interior ports had occasion recently to pass upon the appraisement of the statue of Venus de Mllo Imported for a local magnate. The collector ordered the case opened, found the statute wa without arms and entered upon his re turns "of no commercial value; dam aged in Importation." BOTH NEARLY CRUSHED. New York Tribune: From the upper deck of the lighter Terminal, of the Old Dominion line, at Pier 2, North river, last night, George and Oscar Gunderson, aged II and 9 years, re- spectlvely, were thrown Into the water by a collision with the lighter No vember, which was being warped Into the pier. Oscar's life was saved by his sister, Elizabeth, 21 years old, but George was drowned. It was a sad blow to Captain John Gunderson of the lighter, for it was the second" son he had lost in two weeks. There were nine children. Then Frank, one of the younger boys, died. ana to give him proper burial the family gave up their home In the city and went to live on the lighter. Last night, when the boys fell into the water, Miss Elizabeth sprang to the stern of the lighter and grabbed the top round of the ladder that ran Into the water. She could see Oscar struggling between the two boats. The captain of the tug was evidently un conscious of the accident. Six feet away was the November, advancing slowly, while half way between the two was Oscar. Clinging tightly to the ladder rtith one hand, the girl reached out as far as she could and Just caught her brother's toe. A little more effort and she reached his ankle and quickly drew him to her. It had taken but a few seconds, but the November was getting nearer and nearer. She thought every minute both would be crushed to death. Fear gave her strength, and, dragging the boy from the water, she threw him over her shoulder and started to re mount the ladder. Her drenched skirts were clinging to her, and only one hand was free. The November was four feet away, Half way up tho lad der she became exhausted and could only hold on. Every minute she ex pected the crash, but finally the lighter backed off, and she knew she was safe. She found her voice then, and was helped up the ladder by stevedores. In the meantime a scale man on the pier and a watchman had Jumped into the dater and tried to rescue George, They could not find him, but his body was brought up later by grappling hooks. Suicide Prevented. The startling announcement that a preventive of suicide had been discov ered will interest many. A run-down system, or despondency invariably pre cedes suicide and something has been found that will prevent that condition which makes suicide likely.
