XVXLKti TO Washington
"Just prior to my leaving home my
attention was called to a singular case
of mental trouble and the misfortune
which brought it about," said W. P.
Buraiett, of Minneapolis, Minn. "It was
that of a man named John Stultz, who
had Just returned from. Washington,
where he went to secure a copy of a
patent on some land which he used to
own near Sioux Falls. Notwithstanding
the fact that he is about GO yetars of
on the cam. The trip consumed over
distance to and from Washington City,
except about 300 miles which he rode
ont the cars. The trip consumed over
three months. Several years ago Stultz
had a large herd of cattle poisoned,
over 40 of them dying In one night. But
a short time after this his wife hanged
herself, and he soon dlsappared from
hla home and wandered off to Oregon.
He owned 480 acres of land, but left It
horribly mortgaged, and when he re
turned he found that his property had
been sold and that other people were
living upon It. His Idea In going to
Washington was to secure copies of the
original patent to the land, whereby he
Imagined he might again secure posses
sion of the property." Seattle Tele

ISN'T SATISFIED.
"Of course I am kicking," said an
old resldenter yesterday, "and I am not
doing It for exercise or to show my dis
position, either. I complain because I
think that Is one way of righting a
wrong, and I don't believe in the Spar
tan policy of suffering In silence and
feeding your entrails to foxes. I kick
at the weather bureau Just now, and I
feel that I am entitled to my grievance.
Certainly nobody wants to have cold,
raw, soggy weather on the 20th of April.
If there Is one, he can have my share
of It, and I would be In favor of locking
him up In a cave where there Is noth
ing else. Such goings on as we have
had now In the weather bureau are
simply awful. Clevelund hus turned the
head ofllce In Washington over to a lot
of things who don't know how to run
an Ice wagon. My opinion 1b that there
Is not a man on the force who can tell
a Kansas cyclone from a barber's pic
nic. No wonder the administration Is
heartily hated on all sides. I wouldn't
even speak to Grover Cleveland If I met
him In oi deaf and dumb asylum. I
move that we dispense with the weath
er bureau and take our chances with
Providence."
THE INTELLIGENT COMPOSITOR.
' The demon compositor who dellghte
In devising Ingenious "printer's errors"
wan the subject of some of Max Adlcr's
best fun. In dedicating his book to
"the Intelligent compositor," he writes:
"It was he who put Into type-nn article
of mine which contained the remark,
'Filtration is sometimes accomplished
with the assistance of albumen,' and
transformed It Into 'Flirtation Is some
times accomplished with the resistance
of aldermen.' It was he who caused me
to misquote the poet's Inquiry, so that
I propounded to the world the apalllng
conundrum, 'Where are the dead, the
varnished dead?' And It was his glot'l
ous tendency to make the sublime con
vulsively ridiculous that rejected the
line in a poem of mine which declared
that a 'oolnet swept o'er the heavens
with Its trailing skirt,' and substituted
the Idea that a 'count slepti In the hay
mow In a traveling shirt." London

IN SEASON.
This Is the season of the year when
a mother Is heard making the following
Inquiries of her boy:
"Johnny, have you split your kind
ling?" "No'm."
"Haven't you combed your hair for
school yet?"
, "No'm."
"Haven't you taken your sulphur and
molasses this morning?"
"No'm."
"Well, I will split the kindling, never
mind your hair, but the Bitlphur and
moUiHsca you must have to thin that
blood of yours."
