"You ought to know her, certainly F;

You asked Parker's dog to put her

You even went so far as to tell Par

Then you asked Parker's dog to have

A Drummer's Brilliant Idea.


Some people seem born with a facul-
ty Of raising the ancient masculine
Juvenile. They get folks who are
minding their own business and mere
ly want peace and quiet, into all sorts
of scapes. This faculty is peculiarly
developed in the commercial tourist,
usually referred to as a drummer
He's the man who makes love to all
the pretty servant girls in the hotels
and gets their notions so high that
they won't notice porters, and it makes
the latter want to "slug" the drum
mers. One..of this class of gentleman
was at an up-country railway station
some days ago, and discovered, while
waiting for a train, wasp's nest.
An idea at once struck him. How he
achieved the feat without getting hurt
we don't know. Probably the wasps
were dormant with cold. But at any
rate, he got that nest down and tied
it to the tail of large yellow dog
that was fooling around the depot
The dog started to run and that Sc
stirred up the wasps that they sent a
courier out to investigate, and as he
did so in manner disagreeable to
the dog he only run the harder and
made three wide circuits of the depot
The train meanwhile came in, and as
trains don't stop long at country sta
tons, it was just starting as the dog
came round the third time. Wild
with pain, the dog leaped aboard the
train and plunged into crowded car
lust as the brakeman closed the door
The poor brute got beneath a seat and
tried to curl up. The car was hot
and it warmed up the wasps and they
came out, and in about half n minute
the men in that seat jumped up SC
hard they nearly stove holes in the
roof, and the way they clawcd al
their legs was caution. Everybody
looked. Then others became interest
ed. And the dog started on the run
through the car. The wasps went fol
him and every person in the car. A
wild scene took place. Men cursed
and clawed wildly. Women got NJ
on the seats and danced, and the dog
which everybody though to be mad
tore up and down the aisle, bowling
The conductor came in, thinking the
people insane. He promptly joined
the show. AS the train was flying
folks couldn't jump of. No mad
house ever saw such q scene. There
was profanity enough to sink n ship
and the brakeman, gazing in at the
door, said it beat anything he ever
saw in a variety show Finally, the
conductor stopped the train, and folks
got out and the car was cleared OF
wasps and dog. But the passengers
didn't get over it. They were an aw-
full mad set, and occasionally, after
they got started again, man would
find stray wasp in his trouser and
rise and yell. They talked of suing
the railroad, and if they could have
got that drummer his death would
have been frightful. But he had
gone on another train the other way.

The Course OF a Public Bill in Par.
Lament.

Public bills, whether they be intro
60 through many stages before they
reach the statute book. At the outset,
leave is formally asked for their intro
duction. 1t is only in the case of i'm
portant bills that a speech is made at
this stage explanatory of the purpose Of
the measure. AS rule, this is q mere
formality, a preliminary TO the printing
of the bill, which follows Immediately on
leave being given 10 introduce il. IL is
on the second reading that the principal
fight takes place if the bill is to be con
tested. 1t is understood though the
understanding is grievously disregarded
that on the second reading all that the
House has TO do is to debate the prin-
ciple of the bill, leaving its details for
consideration in committee. IL bill
pass its second reading, day is named
for committee. When the House re-
solves itself into committee, the Speaker
leaves the chair, the mace is removed
from the table, and 10 the chairman of
committee are deputcd many of the
functions and much of the authority of
the Speaker. Whilst the Speaker IS i'm
the chair, member can speak only once
on a particular motion. In committee
he may speak as often as he likes-a
variation of rule which has striking
effect upon the tone of the sitting. With
the Speaker in the chair, members are
oratorical; in the presence of the chair
man of committee they are converse
tional. When bill has passed commit
tee, there awaits il the stage of report
Chat is, the amendments made in COM
mittee are reported to the House, and
finally the stage of third reading; after
which, il il has been introduced in the
House of Commons, it goes to the House
of Lords, where itproceeds through pre-
cisely similar stages.
In the House of Lords the President
is the Lord Chancellor, apersonagc nom
inally of greater dignity, but not en-
dowed with nearly so much power a. the
Speaker of the House Of Commons. In
the matter of regulation of its procedure
the House of Lords is pure democracy.
The Lord Chancellor has not even the
privilege of nominating successive speak
ers. II two or three peers are moved at
the same moment to rise, and none is in
clined TO give way, the Lord Chancellor
IL quite neipicss. Inc uiiilcuity - selticu
by some peer on one or the other side
of the House moving that the Lord
Knowswho or the Lord Tomnoddy shall
be heard. II the matter were further
disputed, there would be division,
When bills have passed through all their
stages in both Houses, they receive the
royal assent, in the present reign always
by commission, and thereafter are added
to the statute-book. Henry w. Lucy,
in Harper's Magazine.
