Tom Ochiltree's Hard Luck.

Tom Ochiltree, the red-headed Texas
member who shares the honor of being
the biggest liar of the South with Joe
MulhattOn, came into the House the
other day with all the indications of a
bad spree on his cOuntenance. His
associates greeted him and inquired,
"What the dickens have you been doing,
Tom? You look as though you had been
on lark" Tom answered that he
had been up all night playing poker.
"What luck?'
"Never had such luck in my life
curse it. Why, | lost $4,000"
'.Six thousand dollars.' echoed his
friends in amazement.
"Yes," said Tom, turning to his
seat, land the worse of it is that ten
dollars of it was in cash. ."-DetrvH

Given to Lying.

What is the matter with the human
race What Obliguity is it that induces
people to tell lies out of which they can
get no possible benefit? Are the ma
jority ofpeop,e consciously unveracious,
or are they really dupos of their senses
II said in my wrath all men are liars. ="
Perhaps he might have said it cOolly
and with scientific precision. Perhaps
it is question of physiology rather than
of morals. The human frame is ac-
knowledged to be q wonderful piece of
mechanism. The Psalmist admired it,
but it puzzled him. If he had been 4
scientist he would have been able to
give physiological reasons for the Opin-
ion that there is not one perfect man
no. not one. Scarcely perfect woman.
1t is known that two people do not see
the same thing alike, and consequently
they describe it differently. They do
not hear the same statement alike. and
they always repeat it with variations.
Of all witnesses the eye is the least
trustworthy. 1t appears to be the most
subject to delusiOns. There is reason
for this. No two persons have eyes
alike. The two eyes in one head
are seldom alike; if they match
in color they are different in form,
different in focus. Not one eye in
ten millions Is in normal perfect con-
ditiOn. The focus is either behind the
retina or in from: of it. and the eve is
either near-sighted or far-si@hted.
perfect organ in the way of correct OBJ
servation? 1t appears to be still worse
with the ear. 1t is at best crooked
organ, and nearly everything that
passes through it gets twist. And
these two defective machines are allied
with probably the most deceitful little
member that ever was-the tongue.
The effort of the tongue TO put into
sound and speech the so-called impress
siOns obtained through the complicated
mechanism of the eye and the ear is q
ludicrous failure. Any ono who is
familiar with a court of Justice or
neighbOrhOOd talk knows that. And
owing to the sympathy of one part of
the body with another, the thumb and
the fore and middle fingers (Which hold
the pen) become infected. The substi-
tuition of the inflexihle stylOgraphic pen
Tor the flowing quill and flexible steel 1t
was thought would tend to remedy this
defect. But this obstacle in the way of
writing does not check the tendency to
prevaricate any mOre than suffering
does in the case of the tongue; and it is
as difficult for sufferer to speak the
truth AS for aglibtongued person. The
consequence of this infection of the
pen-fingers is that what is not strictly
true now and then creeps into print.
People are beginning to find out this
physical defect, and many persons now
will not believe what they read in q
newspaper any more than if it were
told them by an intimate friend. But
they read it and repeat it; and. owing
to the defects before spoken of, they
scarcely ever repeat it as printed. So

Negro MinstrelS.

81 have = reasonable good ear TO m~-
sic," remarks that typical amateur
actor. Bottom tie Weaver; ''let's have
the tongs and the bones" The tongs,
though not obsolete. are now something
archaic, but masters of the noisy art
and mystery OF bone playing are still to
be found disguised in black and set
over against masters of the more dulcet
tambourinc, at the opposite ends of the
semicircle of sable performers known
to the world at large rs negro Ministries.
1t is, perhaps, more accurate to confess
at once that the negro Minstrel is prac-
tically known and loved only in those
parts of the world where the English
language is spoken. The burut-cOrk
opera of the Christy Minstrel is appre-
ciated only in Great Britain, in Greater
Britain. and in the United States of
America where. in fact, it had its rise
some two score years ago. Where the
English language is not spoken. the
grOteSque verbal diSlocations of Brud-
der Bones somehow fail of their reward.
Indeed, nothing can be more humOr-
Ously patheti: than the di@nilied and

BiSlnarck'S Wife.

The giant spirit who raised the Ger
man people from their long abasement.
and gave them their place among the
nations. in due time, by his choice of a
wife, established for himself happy
home, in which his domestic nature has
received manifold and fruitful devel-
Opment, and that he is, after all, not
by any means the man of blood and
iron which many people suppose him
to be. His wife is nine wears Younger
than her husband, and was married to
him in 1917. Her maiden name was
Johanna Won Puttkamer, and she was
the daughter of quiet, gOdly POmer-
anian home, the atmosphere of which
was pervaded by the spirit of the Mo-
ravian fraternity. That ''the mad
Squire ,junker of kneipnOf," rs
Bismarck was then called in the gossip
of the neighbOrhOod, the future ..IrOn
Chancellor" should have been attract
ell by, and ut the same time should have
awakened warm and lively interest
in, lady whose first impressions of
men and things We're received amid such
surroundings, need not, after all, create
any surprise. Even in those days the
period of unrest. storm and stress had
been succeeded by one of calm, and his
wildness and love of mischief had given
place to self-examinatiOn and longing
after higher things. The Princess was
strictly and piously brought up, but is
of cheerful and lively disposition, en-
dOwed with a considerable amount of
mOther-wit, keenly sensitive, and pos
sessed of excellent taste Very musical,
and an excellent performer on the
piano, she is at the same time a
careful and thrifty housewife, and
like the noble ladies of former
times, possesses some knowledge of the
healing art. During all these years she
has shared intelligently her husbands
hopes and cares, sometimes even the
political ones, as witness the letters
published by Hesekiel, written to her
when official duties or holiday travels
chanced to separate them for while
In these he addresses her as '.My !
darling" (mein HerzJ, "My best be-
loved" he sends her jasmine from |

from Gastein. From the royal castle at |

wonder who can have sung that to
me some time or other in .auld lang

sixteenth anniversary of his marriage
how it ''had brought sunshine into his
life" Over and over again
be gives expression to a feeling of
of longing for her and
The children. And in letter written
from Smaland he wishes he had q little
castle peopled with those he loved on
one of the woodland iieather-bound
akes of that Swedish province Many
other parts of this correspondence show
cow dear his wife is to him, and how
,ften he thinks of her. On the other
aand, we can infer from several of the
esters that the good lady has become
leeply imbued with her husbands en-

The long expected completion OF
the Washington monument obelisk
was accomplished on the afternoon OF
the 9th by the setting in place of the
marble cap stone weighing $500
pounds. The ceremonies were few
and simple, the celebration of the
event being reserved for Washing
toms birthday. The flag over the
monument now floats from the flag
staff top, which is exactly six hundred
feet from the ground, thus displaying
the American colors at the greatest
constructed height ever yet known in
the world. The monument itself
with its total height of $50 feet, far
overtops every structure of human
hands. The corner stone of this mon
ument was laid more thsn thirty-six
years ago.
