''Mary, Put ON Another PIate,"

Agood story is told of a couple of
farmers who lived few miles apart.
One day one called ON the other, hap
pening around at dinner time. The
person called upon, by the way,was
a rather penurious old fellow. He
was seated at the table enjoying his
dinner. The visitor drew up to the
stove, looking very wlstfully towards
the table, expecting the old farmer
to invite him to dine. The old man
kept on eating.
"What's the news over your way
nelghbor?" (still eatingl "No news,
ehP"
."No, 1 believe not" Presently
thought struck the visitor, "Wel!
yes, friend did hear of one item of
news worth mentioning"
"Ah, what was that?
"Neighbor John has a cow that
has five calves"
sis that SOP Good gracious
What in the thunder does the fifth
calf do when the others are suck
ing2"
"Stands and looks on, just as do
like fool"
"Mary, put Oh another plate!'

what Makes a House BEAUTIFUL.

1t Is an excellent thing to have a well
kept house and beautifully appointed
table, but, after all, the best cheer OF
every home must come from the heart
and manner of the home-mother. II
that is cold, and this ungracious, all the
wealth of India cannot make the home
pleasant or inviting. Intelligence, too,
must lend 1t charm, If we would have
home an Eden. The severe style OF
house, order, neatness, seldom leave
much margin for intellectual culture.
Even general reading is considered out
of the question for woman SO hurried
and worried with her scrubbing and
polishing, and making up garments.
A simple style of living and house fur
nlshing would set many bonded slave
at liberty and adds vastly to the comfort
of all houses. Hospitality rarely pre-
walls In these spolless line and letter
houses. Company disarranges the
books, and disorders the house, which
had work enough in 1t before. The
mother cannot throw off her carking
cares and sit down for real heart 10
heart converse with the old friend Of
her childhood. Still less can she enter
into the joys and, pleasures, right and
delightful to her own children, because
of the extra work of clearing away IL
will be likely to make. With all your
toll to make house beautiful, do not
neglect the first element of ALTO beau
lify yourself, body and soul. A sweet,
loving word, and clasp of the hand,
are far more to a guest than the mo
elaborately embroidered lambrequins
at your window, or the most exquisite
damask on your table. There are bare
cabin homes that have been remem-
bered ever with pleasure, because OF the
beautiful loving presence there; and
stately palaces that leave an impression
of an iceberg on the mind.

svanderbilt's Daughter.

There have been rumors, says a
New York dispatch, that part of the
history Of the contest OF Commodore
Vanderbilt was to be re-enacted in the
contest of the will of his youngest
daughter, Nine. Lafltte, formerly Mrs.
Barker, who died recently in Paris.
Chauncey NJ. Depew was reported to
have obtained an injunction in behalf
of Nine. Lafitte's son, Oakelly s.
Barker, restrainingiany of the stocks
of which his sisters estate consisted,
until the will contest was disposed Of.
Mr.. Depew said there was no truth in
this story. Commodore Vanderbilt,
by his last will, Mr.. Depew explained,
left $500, 900 10 trusted income, from
which Nine. Lattice was to have
during her lifetime. At her death the
money was. to be divided equally
among her surviving children. William
Ii. Vanderbilt added another $500, ,000
to his sisters share, but this was also
put into the hands of trustees, who
were directed to pay an annual income
to Nine. Lafitte. She had the right,
however, to make such disposition by
will as she saw I'll of the latter $500,
600. Her will gave life estate in
this money to her husband, and at his
death it was to go to her children in
equal shares. Mr.. Depew said thai
there was some doubt whether, under
French law, this will was valid, and
the French courts would be asked t6
pass upon the question. There woulo
he no contest here, nor any forma
contest in France, except such as was
necessary to get proper judicia
construction of the will, and deci.
sion OF its Vitality. Nine. Lafitte wal
practically Frenohwoman, since sh'
was married to a Frenchman, and hae
made her homo in France fo
many years. Ali of her children, ex.
cepting Oakelly s. Barker, were will
Nine. Lafitte in Paris. SO far as HI
knew, Mr.. Depew added, no lega
proceedings of any kind had been in
stituted in this country In regard t
Nine. Lafltte's will. The life interes
in 1000 900, allotted to her by he
father and brother, comprised her en-
tire estate.

A BAD APPOINTMENT.

The New York Sun does not take
kindly to the appointment of j. e.
Bancroft Davis to the Office of Assistant
Secretary of State, and insists that he is
unfit for any high official position. The
story Of one dishonorable act as told by
the SIN is as follows:
"While director of the Erie Railroad
Company and its retained legal adviser,
he took sixty thousand dollars from the
Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad
Company to draw up certain contracts
between the two corporations and assist
in carrying them through. This trans
action resulted in an enormous loss to
the company of which he was director
and legal adviser
This payment for these purposes has
been proved by uncontradicted testi.
mony under oath before Legislative
committee in Massachusetts. The ac-
ceptance of such fee implies an utter
disregard of those obligations of moral
ity which constrain honorable men in
the execution of trust"
1t would certainly seem improper to
appoint a person who could be guilty OF
such bad faith and treachery to an impor
tant federal Office. Reputation and fit
ness do not, however, constitute very
strong claims for political favors under
Republican rule.

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate last Friday, the only
business of interest transacted was the
discussion of Mr.. Hoars resolution for a
special committee of seven on the rights
of women. Mr.. Vest made an amusing
speech in opposition. In the House a
bill was introduced appropriating $780,
900 for the relief of Mrs. Garfield. Mr..
Kelly asked for woman-suffrage com
mittee. Mr.. Shallenberger had bill to
prevent persons living in bigamy from
holding any Office of trust or emolument
in the territories of the United States
The call of States was not finished but
SG7 more bills were introduced, making
1921 in all. 1t was agreed to take a
recess from December 2l to January s.
On Monday the Senate confirmed the
nominations of Benjamin III. Brewster
as Attorney General and J. e. Bancroft
Davis as Assistant Secretary of State The
question of presidential succession was
discussed and the House resolution rela.
tive to recess was agreed to. In the
House, number of bills were presented,
one of which was for the protection of
tnc pciooh Vi itsitcht, piOSluliS pun
ishment by death for an assault with in
tent to kill that official.
The Senate only was in session on
Tuesday. Mr.. Bayard reported from
the committee on finance bill to re-
lease the Philadelphia and Reading II.
II. from payment of certain taxes. The
woman suffrage bill was again debated.
In the House on Wednesday resolu-
tions We're adopted for meeting of the
two houses to listen to memorial ad-
dress by James G. Blaine on the life and
character of the late President The
Speaker announced the Standing Com
mittees. The chairmen of the most
important committees are as follows (;
Ways and Means, Kelly, Pa; Appropria-
tions, Hiscock n. Y; Banking and Cur
rency, Crapo, Mass; Judiciary, Reed,

In the Senate there was brief debate
on the tariff and the House Garfield

At the late election in New York w.
w. Astor, the millionaire, was candi-
date for Congress in the strong Repub-
lican district formerly represented by
Levi p. Morton. Astor spent large sums
of money to secure his election but was
hopelessly defeated by Mr.. II. Z. Flower,
a Democrat. When the successful can
didate went to Washington he learned
that he was entitled to the salary from
the time of Mr.. Morton's resignation.
This sum, amounting to S2,0l4.65, Mr..
Hover has sent to Rev. DIR. Morgan of
St Thomas Church, New York, whom
he appoints chairman to distribute the
money among deserving charities of the
district This is most creditable act and
one that will endear Mr.. Hover to his
constituents.

he---walking the foor--excitedly said:
"What does it mean7 | would have
stakod my life that they would have de
tended me. They know that they wanted
Garfield removed and yet they de
nounce me and can only see in it the
bloody act.
Witness also showed him some papers
in which. he (Guiteau) was bitterly de
nounced for the crime, and his (prison-
er's) comment was that the true facts had
been suppressed and that he had not any
defense.
Witness continued-"lle asked me,
referring to Grant, Conkling and other
prominent stalwarts, DO they know that

and told him yes. He seemed dazed
and said, repeating the words several
times, Most astounding! Most astound

This testimony will go far towards
hanging Guiteau, who seemed TO be well
aware of the fact, as he abused Gen.
Reynolds in the most shameful manner.
The days proceedings ended by Guiteau
protesting against the cross examining
Of the witness and finally shouted, "Oh!
say your aunt was your uncle, 'twould be
about as sensible as your questions. You
are as stupid as Corkhill. Come, your
honor, let's go home" And Court then
adjourned.
On Friday, Guiteau's divorced wife
testified that she believed him to be sane.
Gen. Reynolds gave further adverse tes-
timony and was frequently insulted by
the prisoner Drs. Loring and Hamil-
ton said they thought the assassin was
sane. There was no session of Court on
Monday, as the wife of one of the Jurors
died, and he was permitted to go home.
A plaster cast has been made of Gui-
teau's head by Clark Mills, assisted by
his son, Theodore Mills. After some hes
itation the assassin consented to have
his beard removed, and then allowed the
cast to be made. The operation was
quickly and skillfully performed.
The trial was resumed on Wednesday
and Drs. Hamilton and Worcester tes
tilted that they considered Guiteau sane.
The prisoner was very unruly and insult
ed both witnesses and counsel.

Two of President Arthur's recent
nominations are so dissimilar in character
as to call for comment. For Justice of
the Supre.ne Court of the United States
the President has named Hon. Horace
Gray, now Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts. He is a ripe
jurist and man of unblemished reputa-
ton. The appointment is an excellent
one and reflects credit upon the Presi-
dent. The same cannot be said for the
nominee for post.master-general. This
is Timothy o. Howe of Wisconsin, ex-
Senator from that State. He is Grant
worshipper and thick-and-thin partisan.
He was not shining light in the Senate
and will not make respectable Cabinet
officer. The appointment of Judge
Gray to the Supreme bench is doubly
acceptable because it prevents Boutwell's S
promotion to that Court-a consumma-
ton devoutly to be grateful for.

Rev. J. Hyatt Smith was elected Con
gresham from Brooklyn by the labor ell
ement and, very naturally, his constitu-
ents thought he ought to keep out of
caucuses of the other parties. He didn't
though, but took part in the Republican
caucus, much to the disgust of the
Brooklyn Labor Club who sent him a
despatch in the following words: "Your
infamous action in entering the Republi-
Can caucus has aroused great indigna-
tion here. If you support caucus nomi-
nees on the floor your political career is
ended" The reverend politician will
not heed this warning as he has undoubt-
edly learned on which side his bread is
buttered. Communities that elect po.
litical preachers to represent them de-
serve no sympathy, as such representa-
tives never turn out well. Politics and
piety do not amalgamate.
