/" That Reminds Me-"

As rule, when man commences
with "that reminds me-" it is best to go
away, or go Tor ones hip pocket; but late
occurrences at Fort Douglas and Wash,
ington justify an exception, and remind
us OF friends experience with China
washerman in early days. Matters in the
house had been somehow going wrong,
but not badly enough to warrant rup-
ture, for China washermen were not as
plentiful in Salt Lake as are patriots in
Illinois, and John knew as much; still,
there We're no real grounds for fault-find-
ing, and John, after listening to quite a
lengthy and stormy scolding, answered
in his quiet, patient way: "Too much
damn gabbee, gabbee, gabbee!"

MEN IN PADDED CLOTHING.
Tnin Legs Made stout, and Narrow
Chests Made broad.

There is a profession which many peo-
ple know nothing Of II is that OF the
man who models the human figure, but
not in the CLAW. He models in cloth.
An expert in this art can demand large
salary, and is always sure of employment
in the large tailoring houses. A reporter
for the Mail and Express visited fash
ionable uptown tailor to have q talk with
one of these artists. He was introduced
to dapper little Fren Gilman of about
forty-five years.
"You have had large experience in
your profession, | SUPPOSE asked the re-
porter.
81 have given it my constant study for
nearly twenty years, and the more | see
Of it the less faith ! have in the common
sense of most of my patrons"
"That is rather broad assertion to
make"
Nevertheless il is true and becoming
more so every day You Americans are
of all people the least satisfied with what
nature has given you. You are always
trying to 20 one better than nature, and
instead OF trying natural means in the
way of taking plenty OF air and muscular
exercise. you substitute the pad and the
corset"
"Will you tell me the latest idea OF a
good figure from dudes standpoint"
"That depends great deal upon what
| the dude wants. If he wants a finely de-
veloped pair OF calves, can supply him.
II he lacks breadth of chest, can furnish
him with as fine a chest as you could
wish to see. Should the deficiency be
in the shoulder, can produce pair that
Atlas himself would envy. The process
Of producing these is very simple. But
first must inform you that have moth.
ing to do with the tailoring. l simply
make cloth coats or pads which answer
the same purpose to the tailors as lasts
do to the shoe maker To do this it is
absolutely necessary to have an accurate
idea of the proportions of the customer,
otherwise it would lead to very anus
ing confusion. Once i had customer
who wanted to possess shapely pair o
legs. The original ones were sufficiently
full for all practical purposes, but he
wanted them more full. / made some
pads for the thighs, calves and hips
They were made Of fine chamois leather
and when finished they were sewn into
the trousers. The result was the gentle
man walked on Fifth avenue next morn
ing with finely-shaped legs, but entirely
out of proportion with the other parts o.
his body.

Inquiry Into the Telephone Scandal

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE House
Committee ON Expenditures in the Depart
ment of Justice to-day agreed upon reso-
luton calling upon the Secretaries of the
Treasury and the Interior and the Attorney
General for information as to the amount of
money, il any, which has been expended by
the government in the telephone cases re-
Gently before the Interior Department.
Chairman Gibson said that the Hanback,
resolution limited the scope of investigation
to the expenditures of the government, and,

any responsibility, it had no authority to
open up the telephone controversy. He said
that as one member of the committee, he
did not think it should be made court of
appeals to decide whether Secretary Lamar's
decision was correct or not.

whether there exists any necessity for the
introduction of specially coercive measures

main part of the address will declarei it shall

The following is one of the sentences con-
tanned in the address: and one which indi-

made it impossible to anticipate success
with confidence, we shall draw comfort from
