DR.. Dunning laughs at a joke that befell his
friend, Rev. Edward Everett Hale, not long
ago. DR.. Hale was making one Of his long Pc
destrian tours through a rural region, and be-
came very hungry. Calling at the door of a
farm house, he asked the woman if she would
let him have something to eat. She looked
over his tall, robust figure and then answered
in slightly contemptuous tone: 'Yes; I'll give
You something to eat; but a man as big and
strong and as able to work as you are ought to

From the Epoch.
He was new conductor on his first trip.
As the car passed the corner handsomely
dressed young woman nodded her head gra-
ciously.
The new conductor tipped his hat with the
utmost polteness, and turning to a passenger
on the platform, said:
"How's that for a mash, eh?''
''She wanted you to stop the car" replied the
passenger.
"Bgosh," exclaimed the new conductor. 81

A National Anthem Wanted.

writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch says: "On
the steamer coming from England the other
day at the close Of the usual concert given in
the saloon young lady Of American birth es-
sayed to sing The Star Spangled Banner
She had pretty voice and her intentions were
doubtless patriotic, but unfortunately she did
not know the words of the anthem of America
In the chorus she became completely tangled
up, and one verse was properly deemed suffi-
cient. But it was still more painful to notice
that out OF over 500 Americans present not a
single individual had the words Of the chorus
OF The Star Spangled Banner by heart. Lots
OF them knew a word or two here and there.
but not one knew all the chorus. Then God
Save the Queen was started. and the corporal's
guard OF Englishmen and women in the saloon
sprang to their feet and sang their national an
them with enthusiasm and accuracy. The fact
is, though some may deny it, we have no dis
tinctive and universal national anthem in this
land, where we have so much to be thankful
for. There are any number Of songs of the
soil and stirring war ditties but there il abso-
lutely no anthem in which the people North
South, East, and West heartily join in singing.
Every state, and often every city and county In
the state, has its favorite patriotic air. The
people are warmly attached to these songs, but
as they are merely sectional in sentiment it ia
impossible to call any of them strictly national
to-day.

Dead Kittens as Decorations.

From the New York Journal
Lady Vaudeville has delighted half dozen
OF her feminine friends on this side of the water
by sending them each large photograph of
her beautiful SELF She has also caused shiver
of surprise to each one, because the frame of
each photograph is adorned on one side with
six-inch7long kitten, dead and stuffed. The
kittens are only few days old, and all belong
to one family. They are provided each with
bead-eyes, and their tiny claws are grabbing
the plush on the frames. Mrs. w. X. vander-
bilt Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt, and Mira Rob-
erts are among the recipients. II Is quite the
fashion in England to adorn photograph frames
with tiny pugs and kittens, birds and owls, real,
dead, and stuffed, 30 do not be surprised II you
chance to see the Prince Of Wales photo
adorned by tiny pug-dog placed at one side.

eDecial to the lndianaDolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The ways and means
committee, spurred on by the two Senators
from Louisiana and the Democratic members
from that State, have decided that the poor
mans breakfast table is of far less concern to
them than the electoral vote in Louisiana. They
have had painted to them in the blacksst colors
the political situation in Louisiana They have
learned that on week from next Tuesday.
when the State elections are held, the Republic
ans have an excellent chance of electing their
Governor owing to the dissatisfaction which
prevails with the Democratic nominee and the
objections of the Louisiana Buear-planters to the
sugar schedule proposed in the Mills bill Con-
sequently they have decided that something
must be done, and although there are great
many Democrats who openly assert their belief
that sugar, above all things. should be free
there is every reason to believe that. instead of
being free. the sugar tariff will be disturbed
very little as from that which now exists.
All this cry of benefting the poor man and
removing the so-called protection to the rich
manufacturers is the greatest kind of humbug
The Louisiana planters must be protected, or
their political fealty cannot be guaranteed
Louisiana Senators have induced the ways and
means committee to see through the same DARK
glass which they themselves use, and they have
convinced them that free sugar, or even de-
cided reduction of the present duties would not
only lead to the election of a Republican Gov
ernor Of that State, but would be liable to be
followed by Republican majority the fall
elections, and the loss of the State to Cleveland.
While the highly moral free-trader in the White
House Processes such friendship for the work
ingman. and so much regret that the taxes are
high. he is tacitly acquiescing in the scheme to
increase the tax on this commodity from the
rate proposed by the Mills tariff bill, and in
stead of new schedule Of tests and a reduction
ton of 20 per cent, the bill proposes, the old
schedule of tests will be likely to remain and 10
per cent. will be the extent of the reduction il

The Murder Of Train wntnhm.n-

CHICAGO, April 4-There seems to be little
doubt that the men who killed watchman
Kreigh and fatally wounded his companion.
BRASIL, on Chicago s. Alton freight train, last
night were tramps. For time it was thought
that strikers might have been the assailants,
but this theory was soon exploded There has
been no trouble on the Alton. and the two
Watchmen are old employees. Their business
was to escort freight trains TO the outer limits
