How Senator Garland Ate the Soap.

49, (From the Washington Capitol
Another dignified senator has been
taught the mysteries of an ostensible
caramel which one of the boys of his
hotel had invented for the purpose of
making miserable the lives of other
children. The senator owed Garland
one, and saw his opportunity. He pro-
cured some of the alleged sweets and
placed them carelessly on his desk. The
game succeeded. Garland sried the
deceptive chocolates. and carelessly
sauutering by, picked up one of them
and said: 'What are these, senator ?"
They are csramels. Take one. 4
''Thank yon, WILL" and he took one.
Now, the caramel was filed with soap,
and the jokers expected to see Garland
spit out the nauseous stuff That was
where the laugh was TO come in. But
Garland disappointed them. He ate up
the whole thing, soap and all, and never
made sign. The perpetrator became
frightened and ran ont into the cloak
room, exclaimng, "Good Lord. I'm
afraid the mans poisoned. "Oh, you
needn't be alarmed" said Butler, of
South Carolina, "Garland's got an Ar
kansas stomach. To this day no one
knows whether Garland tasted the soap
or not.

MONTE CHKISTO's PURSE.

Alexandra Dumas, the writer of the fasci-
mating novel, "Monte Christie" HIMSELF
spent the millions of Edmund Dantes But
it was not on an island that he found his
money; he waved his magic pen and gold
and silver flowed from the inkpot that stood
upon his workable. He gained immense
sums and yet his creditors were called legion.
Friends and enemies, fine ladies and fast
women, shopgirls and actresses-everybody
lived upon him that could possibly do so.
Gold poured in streams from his fingers'
tips and yet he was often without a penny in
the world. One day he called at the house
Of friend to borrow sufficient money to fill
his empty stomach. Monsieur was ont, but
madame was at home, and to her Dumas re-
lated his sad plight. He only asked her for
hundred sous, but she made him accept q
louis Here, run after him with these
nice apples, said she to her femme de caam-
IRE after he had left the house. The girl
caught up with him and handed him the ap-
pies with madame s compliments. "Damme.
but you are pretty girl" said he, chucking
her under the chin, and then he handed the
servant the gold piece which he had Just
borrowed.
