A Financial Anecdote.

Theodore was a poor lad. One day
when he was very hungry he espied a
five-cent piece on the floor of the bro
ker's Office, which he was sweeping out.
He had remembered stories wherein lit
tie boys had picked up a small piece of
money, handed it to the great merchant
or rich banker and been Immediately
taken into partnership. So Theodore
stepped up to the door of the brokers'
private room and said:
"Please, sir, here's a five-cent piece I
found on the floor"
The broker looked at Theodore a mo-
ment and then said:
''You found that on my floor, did you?
And you are hungry, aren't youp"
Eyes, sir" replied Theodore.
"Well, give it to me and get out. I
was looking around for a partner, but a
boy who doesn't know enough to buy
bread when he is starving to death
would make but a sorry broker. No,
boy, l can't take you into the firm" .
And Theodore never became q great
broker. Honesty is the best policy, chill
dren, but it is not indispensable to sue
cess in the brokerage business. -Boston

kins moved to reduce the item for the bureau
of construction and repair to 81, 800, 900. Mr..
Robson thought this would be a declaration
that we have no navy. Mr.. Ellis pointed out
the war-clouds on the horizon, and pronounced
for q reconstruction of the navy. An amend
ment by Mr.. Harris was adopted, that any por-
ton OF the item of 81, 10000 not wanted for
the purposes specified may be applied to the
construction of two cruising vessels of war;

There he would lie a long time calling
and driving away those who presumed
to interfere with his domestic affairs.
This was IN exciting day about the hon.
ey-suckles. full of challenges, seedlings,
furious attacks and probably, too, suf-
fering, for the little hero often seemed
exhausted and l feared he would not
survive his accumulated calamities.
Once, toward night, madam alighted
in the usual place with one who was
plainly a lover. He began to puff out
his feathers and assume the airs of q
sutton, when down upon him from his
post on the roof came the avenging hus-
band and drove him away in a twink
ling. The hen did not fly, however, and
her spouse alighted near her. She be-
gan to scold, but he tried to make love
to her. ''Come," said his manner, '1et's
make up; l shall not always be so help
less as now" But every time he tried
to approach her she turned her bill to-
ward him, talking vigorously. you're
a good-for-nothing," n could almost
hear her say; you'll neither help me
yourself nor let any one else, and here
I'm nearly worked to death and the ba-
bies like to starve." Then he coaxed
again, but she refused him harshly and
flew to the nest.
This curious scene took place toward
evening, but the next morning things
had changed. He was better and bright
er everyway, could get about much
more easily on his one leg and 1 saw no
more of rivals. He went in and out of
the honeysuckles quite often. Some
times he was greeted by q scolding and
sometimes blythe fine chirping of the lit
tie ones, but he went'as often as he
chose. Under this new aspect of things
he began to voc back his mate, and af-
ter awhile she would come out on the
window sill in amiable mood and great
love-making went on. Evening closed
on restored peace and harmony in the
little household.
The next morning the little hero was
able to hop upon the greenhouse roof
for crumbs, standing up pertly on his
single leg, though his movement was a
queer one-sided sort of jerk, which gave
him a most comical air. Now his spouse
accompanied him to the ground and the
pear tree, as do all decorous sparrow
wives, and before noon both devoted
themselves to the charming task of
teaching the little ones to fly.
Often during the day l saw one little
fussy sparrowling squatted on the win
dow sill which had been the scene of his
papa's suffering and pain, another on
the greenhouse roof, both skrieking for
food, for help, for the world to see how
bravely they got on, while the busy
mamma coaxed them in vain to try an
other flight, alternately encouraging
with a crumb or %reproying with a slight
peck on the head, and the one-legged
hero-his troubles now happily at an
end-perched on the edge of the roof,
peering over with greatest interest at
the pretty scene.-Otive Thorne Miller

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Public Printer Rounds Is welding the az
vigorously I'm his office, m making many re-
movals and new appointments. He has near
ly depleted the Ebbst House of chambermaids
by giving them positions in the public print
ing Office at better pay than they have been
receiving, and has dcmoralized the color
ed walters by appointing several OF them to
places.
In the publication OF the Treasurer's month
ly statement of liabilities and assets It isl OBJ
served that the Treasury resumption fund has
lately been run down to less than Sl20 900, 900,
which is not quite IS per cent. Of legal tender
note circulation. This Is a lower percentage
than has heretofore been considered safe, and
surprise is expressed that Secretary Folger
should suffer the depletion of the u n to take
place.
Over $500, 900 has been expended by congress
I'm the Improvement of the grounds about the
capitol. Several years ago this work was
placed under the care of Frederick Law Ohm
stead, and he changed the entire character of
the grounds. With the purchase of addition
al lands over S1,000.000 has been expended
Congress each year ~appropriates from $75, 900
to Sl0O,0OO for additional improvements. Where
this money goes it is very hard to see. In the
sundry civil bill this year $4,000 is to be APP
propriated; yet there is in contemplation no
system OF new improvements.
The cabinet is considering the question of
political assessments. The member of the
administration realized that some steps should
be taken by the president In relation to the
matter. 1t is probable that at an early day an
order will be issued relieving clerks from any
danger of removal In case of no~n-payment of
made by the congressional COM
mittee. Some such step Is held TO be neces-
sary, In view of the storm OF Indignation and
denunciation that is now sweeping over the
country against the present methods employ
cd by the congressional committee.
Notwithstanding the fact that congress is
almost on the eve of adjournmeuta and the cal
endars of both houses are crowded with bills
that will never again come to the surface, the
Introduction of new bills continues at every
opportunity. The number already introduced
in the present congress approaches close to
seven thousand, a figure that is greatly In ex-
cess Of that Of any former session. Many of
the measures thus introduced are merely for
buncombe, but they indicate the amazing fer
tility Of the American mind in the way of
