O'LEARY'S BOY.
A 5-year-Old "Who Spoke at a, Re
publicans Convention.
Mr. J. V. Q'Leary, a prominent sheep
raiser of Grass Valley has a very pre
cocious 5-year-old win who "took down
the house" at an enthusiastic republican
meeting held' at Bickleton Saturday.
Mr. O'Leary's democracy has never been
called to question. But on that day he
was chosen to be chairman of the meet
ing, the business of which to form a re
publican club. . His appearance was the
signal for prolonged cheering, and cries
of "speech," "speech," "O'Leary," re
sounded through the hall. The ovation
somewhat surprised the gentleman who
said : '' ; . .
"Gentlemen, I am not much given to
speech-making, and I ' have a little
5-year-old .boy who can make .a better
speech than I can. Come on, Johnny,"
and. he signalled to a little red-haired
youngster who was completely over
looked up till this time. "Johnny"
came forward and said : -
"Five years ago my father was an
aristocrat; three years ago he was a
democrat; and
"For Grover he did whoop,
Now he's in the soup."
The effect can be better imagined than
described.

Babes In the Woods.
- Late Saturday night word was brought
to Brownesville that ' two children of
William E. Riggs, aged respectfully 4
and 6 years, who live about 14 miles
east of the town, up in the bills, were
lost in the brush, and some of the citi
zens were out hunting them all night,
but without success. Early Sunday
morning about seventy-five men and
boys started out to scour the brushy
hills. The rain had .fallen nearly all
night, and it was cold and stormy, and
grave fears were entertained for their
safety, and it was not relieved when a
little dOg, that had gone with them, re
turned home alone about 8 o'clock in
the morning. The search was diligently
prosecuted, however, and a about 11
o'clock the two little ones wete, found
safe under a large fir tree, about 2
miles from home, over on the slope of
McDowell creek. They were not hurt,
but their feet were blistered, and they
were cold and hungry. They were soon
returned to their home, after an absence
of about .nineteen hours. Guns were
fired and the hardy searchers came .' joy
fully in from' the search. , " - ,

The Cause of failure.
Bill Nye went a visiting,' and while he
was gone the bank wherein his money
waa deposited went busted. Bill didn't
know the bank was gone, so he went up
to draw out $500, and this was what he
thought : "What was my surprise and
indignation to find in place of the bank
a nice new book and- stationary store.
'And what can 1 do for you?' asked an'
urbane man with disheveled whiskers,
coming forward. '.You might tell me
where the Farmers' and Swappers', bank
has gone,' says I, with some warmth.
'When I leave a bank on a- certain cor
ner and tell it to stay there till I come
back, I am not pleased to find when I
return that it has taken advantage of
my absence to go out and see the town.'
" 'The Farmers' and Swappers' bank,'
said the man, 'hopes to resume very
soon, but of course at present it is
closed until it can realize on its collat
eral.' '"
"I hustled around and found that the
collateral was a lot of paper showing
that Mr.' Chow Chowj the grocer, had
indorsed for old man Stiff, the emj-'
balmer, and old man Sun, the em-
balmer, had endorsed for old' Chow
Chow, the grocer, in order to borrow of
the bank $50,000 deposited there by old
man Rennet, the farmer, and old man
Pieplant", the ' farmer. It was the old
story. The business men had endorsed
for each other in order to borrow the
farmers' deposits, and the lawyers were
now taking what was left in payment
for advising them how to do it."
