ii,e Sergenut-at-Afns of The House Of
Hcprescntnttycs.



The position Of the Scrgeant-at.Arms Of
the House is ono exceedingly difficult to al
to the entire satisfaction Of everybody con.
cerned. The present incumbent Of that Of.
flee George W. Hookcr) has, however, per.
formed his duties in such an efficient man.
ner that he has won the respect and conf
dence not only of the Republicans but also
of the Democrats. In fact the latter have
repeatedly said to Mr.. Hooker that II they
come into power In the House the next ses-
sion they will elect him to the same place.
lie has reduced the business Of
keeping the members together to a
system, and this alone involves no little
work. He now claims that he can recall ab.
sent members and get Republican quorum
at any time within forty eight hours notice.
lie keeps a set of books showing the exact
time, place, and business of each absent
member. lie knows days in advance from
the members just when they propose to be
absent, on what business, on and
for what length Of time. 1t is said that
he even goes to the extent of writing each of
them letter daily, keeping them thorough
" advised of the requirements Of the session,
SO that they may make preparation to meet
the demands of the House. The result Of
this systematic way of performing the func-
tions of bis Office was shown by his success
in getting and retaining good working
quorum of the Republicans when 1t was SO
badly needed in the late contested election
cases. He says that if it shall be necessary
he will be able to get the quorum together
again next week in spite of the nominating
conventions, the hot weather, and the gener-
al Indifference, which seems to Overtake
Congress towards the close of the session.

age. 1t was we'll formed and presented no ex-

and heart were In normal condition, but
there was slight ruflling Of the aor,a in the

story about the venerable Peter Coop

his office, and stays there for a few
hours As he comes out to his coupe
he is surrounded by bevy of seedy-
looking men. Each in turn steps up to
him with a ''Good day, Mr.. Cooper"
and an eXpectant look in his eye, and
just as regular, the benevolent old gem
tleman puts his hand in his pocket and
gives him piece of money and a "Good
day to you" 'Why do you let these
people annoy you, Mr.. Cooper" asked
an impatient young man the other day.
''Ihey don't annoy me at all. said
the philanthropist. "They are old
friends of mine, poor follows. Many
of them have. seen better days. They
don't want much-just enough for a
dinner or lunch. When / am ready
to leave the Office put few dollars in
change in my pocket, and give it to
them when they speak to me. They ex-
pect it, you know, and l wouldn't like

Too many mothers in their love OF

nothing about it; and the daughters do
not think there is any elt-denial in

mother wears the old one, turned up

goes on the mountain trip and mother
stays at home and keeps house.
Emily is tired of study and must lie

though her back aches, has no time for
such an indulgence.
Dear girls, take good care of your
