CHOOSING THEIR SEATS.
How the United States Lawmakers Select
Their Seats.

The House having notified the Sem
ate of its organization, there remained
but one other interesting feature of the
proceedings. Every member naturally
wished tie best seat in the hall that he
could obtain; and as all of them could
not be satisfied, the question was deter
mined by game of chance. The clerk
placed i'll a box as many 81 ps OF paper
as there were Representatives, each
bearing the name of a Representative,
and he then drew these slips from the
box one at a time. The member oldest
in cont .nuOus service, and also Mir.
Alexander II. Stephens, who. on ac-
count of his age and intirmity. was ''en-
titled TO consideration on the part of the
House, were permitted TO choose. seats
before the drawing commenced Then
all the other members retired bpvond
The outer row. and each Representative,
aS the slip bearing his name was drawn
and called, came forward and selected
seat. 1t was quite an amusing per-
torrance; the Lawmakers enjoyed the
fun fully as much as did the spectators
N the gallery; and the countenances of
the fortunate members beamed with
the smiles of childish Joy.
In the Senate, this matter of seats is
settled IN different way. AT the be-
ginning of every Congress the newly
elected Senators chose from among the
vacant seats in the order in which each
Senator notifies Captain Bassett, on the
principle of ''first come, first served"
and if they do not get satisfactory seats
they speak for other seats, in the
event of such seats becoming vacant
during their term of office. Captain
Bassett keeps a record of all these re-
quests in a book, and often the same
seat will be spoken for by three or four
Senators. remember one Senator who
had seat very desirable on account of
its location, who became suddenly ill
so i'll that he was not expected to live.
Several of the other Senators applied
for his seat, and when the Senator heard
of it he declared he would not die.
And he did not: he even lived to see the
seats of these Senators who had spoken
for his become vacant.-Edmuld Alton,
ia 81. Nicholas.

The irregular tearing by this pattern
is calculated completely to deceive the
Government officials, especially if the
numbers on the patched notes are re-
moved by chemicals and made to cor
respond. The attention of Congress
has been called to the danger to the
Government under the present law As
to redemption, and it may be changed.
There is, however. a remedy in the
present law which places heavy pen
atty on the mutilatiOn or alteration of a
Government note. and the knowledge
of this fact is likely to prevent many
such schemes for defrauding the Gov
eminent from being entered upon be-
fore Congress applies better remedy

HUMBLE THOUGH I AM. ="
The Professional Friend of Labor and the
Politician.


Theodore Roosevelt, who is a straight
forward and incisive writer, tells q
story which l know to be n fact. and
tells it remarkably well. 1t is at the
expense of prominent politician who
shall be nameless. The prominent pol
itician was chairman of an Assembly
committee. 1t gave a hearing to o
friend of labor by profession who earned
his bread by the sweat of his jaw. He
talked work for u living. The friend OF
labor by profession found the prominent
politician in high condition both oil
animal and ardent spirits.
This was shown when, while adj.
dressing the chair, the friend of labor
by profession said: Humble though
am"
Whereupon the Chairman, with great
dignity and firmness, promptly inter.
rupted him by saying:
''Stop, sir; / want to ask you ques-
ton or two. Did you say Humble
though i amp"
The man amazedly admitted that be
did.
..Are you not an American citizen,
sir?"
The man was constrained to say he
was.
''Well, then, sir" Numbered the
aroused chairman, never say you are
humble. An American citizen has nc
right to be humble. He is the equal OF
any prince or potentate on earth. Never
again call yourself humble in the pres
ence of this committee"
