HI GILL ANI> THE TYPIST.
How the Yoong Lady Asked the States-
uiau Some Questions.
mmm
From the Seattle Argus.
Councilman Hi Gill advertised for a
stenographer some time ago, and the
morning a certain yoiing lady applied
for the position at his office was In a
rotten humor. Hence the following
conversation:
"Munch chocolate*,?" he asked.
"No, sir."
"Talk slang?" «.
"No, sir."
"Make eyes at fellows when you are
not busy?''
"No, sir."
"Know how to spell such words as
'cat' and 'dog' correctly?"
"Yes, sir."
"Gossip through the telephone half
a dozen times a day?"
"No, sir."
"Usually tell everybody who comes
in how much the firm owes?"
"No, sir."
He was thinking of something else
to ask her when she put a spoke in his
wheel,
"Do you smoke cheap cigars when
you're dictating?" she asked.
••Why—er—no," he gasped.
"Take it out on your stenographer
when you've had a row at home and
got the worst of it?"
"Certainly no-not."
"Throw things about and swear
when business is bad?"
'N-never."
"Go for your employes when they
get delayed on a street car In the
morning?"
"No, indeed."
"Think you know enough about
grammar and punctuation to appreci-
ate a good typist when you get one?"
"I—think—so."
"Want me to go to work now. or is
your time worth so little "
"Look here, by Uawd. madam,"
broke in Hi, "just hang up your things
and let's get at these letters."
The stenographer has been there
ever since, and the foregoing conver-
sation took place over a year ago.
TMK WHOLE AKER FAMILY.
Including Muck R. Aker, Nitvre ¥.
Aker and Rebate T.
Aker.
In the last days of the republic
there was no family which was more
distinguished than the Aker family.
In the first decade of the twentieth
century, liardly a paper or magazine
but had reference to one or the other
of them. The most distinguished of
them were: Muck R. Aker. Nature F.
Aker and Rebate T. Aker. It is not
clear now what the relationship '
these three was, although it is knov
they were closely connected. Many
the best authorities believe them
have been brothers, but it is hard!:
likely that three men of such diverse
characters could have been the tuns of
one father.
It. seems mora likely that Rebate T
Aker was the son or possibly th.j
brother of one For Aker, who was
United States senator from one of ti"
principal commonwealths at that
time. There are authorities who deny
this relationship strenuously, and in-
sist that For Aker belonged to a col-
lateral and ins-ignificant branch of the
Aker family of which Trouble M. Aker
was by far the ablest representative.
As to Muck R. Aker, there is in
doubt that he was closely connected
with a certain congressman by th«
name of No-Pass Robert 13. Aker a
resident of the bridegroom district,
then known as Brooklyn.
There arc some genealogists who
believe they have traced the family
back as far as the first American rev-
olution, and who aver that thev wen
all descended from a famous religious
man who was called Q. U. Aker, who
came to this country and settled first
in Pennsylvania, but this averment
is substantiated on philological
grounds only.
Rebate T Aker was immensely
wealthy, and history tells of a bitter
feud between him and his followers,
and the followers of one Trust B. H.
E. Aker, a distant cousin.
Both Nature F. and Muck R. Aker
were noted for their literary abilities
and their vivid imaginations, although
their work lay along lines, the formr-r
devoted himself to the study of biology
and animal life, the latter attending
solely to political and social phenom-
ena.—Lippincott's Magazine.

BIKDN LEAD Bl'SY LIVES.
(June Delineator.)
Love of Home is one of the many
loves that the birds have in common
with ourselves, and an overpowering
instinct is implanted in them that
before the mating season leads them
back to the places where they were
reared. Possibly you have considered
birds as airy beings who sing and float
about among the cool summer trees,
living at ease on the fat of the land,
and have envied them their freedom
alike from work and care. This idea
will vanish as soon as you <*an call a
dozen birds intimately by name and
watch their choice of a home site, their
exquisite skill in newt weaving, and
their untiring labor in supplying the
young with fool until they are able to
take care of themselves. No matter
what the staple food of the grown
birds may be. berries, seeds or animal
matter, according to family, the young
of all sorts are fed upon the most
highly nutritious animal food the par-
ent can obtain, so rapid is their growth
to fit them to be self-supporting, and
thus make their parents free f/otn thf
care of other broods. A human parent
is not iex )ectf:-J to feed a baby oftener
than once in two hours, but the parent
birds hardly ctt.se from rise until set
of sun. «
Mr. Bryan, speaking of his own polit
cal prospects, tells the following story:
"There was once a cowboy whose bal
hnbits prevented him from receiving a i
invitation to a ranch-house dance. Th
fact ti.at he was not invited made hir
■ii'grv, and on the night of the dance hi
put in an appearance. He was polite1.,
ahked to leave, aud he did so. After get
ting his eonraje up he entered the houp
a second time, and again he was asked t
leave. He demurred and he was led out
Half an hour later he made his third aj
pea ranee as an uninvited guest and h
was thrown out of the door and into th
yard. After he gathered his scattere.
senses he mumbled to himself; '1 kno
what's the matter wth them in then
They don t want me.''

HIGH* SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
Buffalo Bill, who says that with liar'1
work a man sttould live to be a centena
!au, talked, at a reunion of Karsas cav:
rvmen, about straight shooting. "It i
hard work to learn to be a good shot,'
he said. "We Americans are better sbn
that most," he continued. "A Freni
prince visited me on my rnnch once, an i
we went out after, birds. T came back
with a full bag, but when I asked th«
prince what he l ad Wiled, ho said proud-
ly : 'Of ze builds, none; zey are too dif-
licilc; but of ze v:ld cows and calves, I
'ave nine ovair 20 'ill.' "

Mr. Ben West, as class orator, was
well received.
Class valedictorian, Miss Ruth Ul>-(
ham. on "Education «s 4 National De-
fense." compared the life of a stud nt
to the great wall of China, which so
well protected the Mongolians for cen-
turies and that the Americans in pref-
er nee to the arming of the youth of
the land with guns have gave them
books and by the aid of these were
able to conquer the world.
