How . Little Tot Made Her Mammals Wis

A couple of ladies who were recently call
Ing in Brookline, says the Boston Courier,
were ushered into parlor upon the floor OF
which lay rug with middle of solid GRIM
son. After they had crossed this brilliant
expanse they were horrifed by the discoy-
cry that every footstep they had taken was
clearly printed in dust upon the otherwise
stainless surface OF the rug
As they sat guiltily regarding the soiled
rug the small daughter Of the hostess came
into the room, and the minute she entered
her eyes fell upon the footprints.
''Oh, just see there what you've done, -
she cried. "You just see what my mamma
viii do to you; she had that rug all cleaned
nice this morning for company tonight
She told me she'd send me to bed without
any ice-cream If stepped on it''
This was an delivered in tone IF voice
which left no room for doubt of its sincerity,
and the callers were divided between q
sense of their guilt and an inclination to
laugh at the manner in which it was brought
home to them. Fortunately for their peace
OF mind the hostess entered at that moment
and explained that the rug was one which
showed every trace Of dust. and that she
found it necessary to take strong measures
to keep it free from the tracks Of her chill
dren's feet, but that it was not an oftense to
step on it for which she could not forgive
her friends.

Of the local appraisers was one day found
dead in warehouse. The man who made
the discovery covered the body with tar
paulin and then started to break the news
to the widow. He found her seated on the
veranda, and saluted her and asked If Dan
was home. She replied in the negative,
and he sat down and talked about the
weather and other matters for q quarter of
an hour before saying:
'Mrs. Philbrick, you and the collectors s
wife are friends, are you notr'
''Oh, yes, the best of friends"
"And through her you could influence

"But If there should be a vacancy among
the appraisers would you be willing to
speak good word for metz
"Why, yes, I'm sure would"
"If, for instance, Dan should resign,
could count on your kind effortsa"
''Oh, certainly"
He returned to the warehouse, rediscov-
cred the body, gave the alarm and had it
sent home. Three hours later he called to
offer his services as one of the dead watch,
and, as he took the sorrowing widow by the
hand, he said:
Poor Danl Cut down in the prime of
life, and that without warning. Let me as
sure you of my heartfelt sympathy, and
please don't forget to pull that wire for me

MY MoTHeR's PUMPKIN PIES.

When the beautiful autumn time has come
With its wealth of golden days
When river and hill aud meadow.land
Are vailed in a purple haze
Down the backward track Of the deetinR yeHrS
Uhbidden my memory flies
To the autumn time in my childhood home,
And to my mothers pumpkin pies.
The yellow globes from the field were brought
Amid rapture OF childish giee,
For well knew the promise they held
OF delightful things to be.
And mute and motionless gazed
On the scene with wondering eyes
While my mother wrought the mystery
Ofthose famous pumpkin pies.
Meaty and juicy aud sweet were they,
And coniured WITH infinite care,
With thin, brittle crust of delicate brown,
And flavor beyond compare;
And though should live to three-score and ten,
Yet oft will the memory rise
OF those happy times in my boyhood days
And my mothers pumpkin pies.

loudly for their oil bath. No medicine was
given, and but little food was needed to

In the House.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-On the def
cheney appropriation bill the house disa-
greed to the senate amendments. Fill
clustering was resumed and the passage of
several bills was prevented.
Reed moved that the house recedc from
its disagreement to tie senate amend
ment increasing the limit OF the cost of
the new library building to $55, 900 exclu-
sive of the appropriations heretofore made.
The motion to recsde was agreed to. The
next point of disagreement was the sen
ate amendment appropriating a years.
salary to the widow of the late Chief JUS
tice Waite.
Randall and Cannon of Illinois OBJ
posed the senate amendment because it
established a dangerous precedent and
would lead to like payments of unearned
money to widows OF all of the Judges and
justices.
Grosvcnor replied that the committee
on appropriations had established prece-
dents when 1t paid the unearned salary of
the late doorkecper, Wintersmith. to his
father.
White of New York said the Ameri-
can people were the most nigPardly on
the face Of the globe. If Waite had pre-
sided in England he would have a salary
OF Ell 900. BY refusing to retire when
he could he would have saved the nation
1921 600. The committee mistook the
good sense and good heart of tie people.
Butterworth of Ohio also thought that
the late chief justice who died in harness
had been underpaid. The precedent was
not dangerous, because a like circum-
stance might not arise for a century.
The motion to recede was lost and the
bill sent to conference.
Blount Of Georgia presented the con.
ference report on the post Office appropri-
alton bill and it was agreed to. The con
ference report on the bill to amend the
! Interstate commerce act was then taken

up. Anderson of Iowa opposed the
adoption of the report. In the course of
his remarks denOuncing railway manage
ment, he referred to the fact that New
York was the Wall street representative
of law breaking highwaymcn of the coun-
try. Grosvenor of Ohio charged that
the country had received no benefit from
the interstate commerce law. The con-
terence report was agreed to.
Dunn of Arkansas presented the con-
ference report on the bill for the protec
ton of the salmon fisheries of Alaska and
it was agreed to. The conference agreed
in a slightly modified form to the house
amendment directing the president to
cause one or more United States vessels
to cruise in Alaskan waters and seize all
vessels found to be violating the law rcla-
tive to the seal fisheries. The Joint reso-
luton was passed appointing W. II.

to a question of privilege and sent to the
Clerks desk to have read the remarks
made Yesterday by Payson charging Eg-
bert Vel, ex-member of congress, with
being the attorney of the Des Moines
Navigation company. He then sent to
the clerks desk and had read a telegram
refuting the statement.

THE SUICIDE.
No Doubts Now Existing as to
Pigott's Identity.
Letters Found Belonging to the
Dead Man.
Bloody ARRAY Among Seminole
Indians.
THE SUICIDE.

LONDON, March "A Madrid dis
patch received this afternoon removes all
doubt as to the identity of the man who
shot himself Yesterday and the body has
been fully identified as that of Pigott by
officials of the British embassy. On
Thursday al interpreter showed Pigott the
sights of Madrid. On that day Pigott
sent a telegram addressed ''Ponsoby'' to
the Office in London of Soames, Times
solicitor. This telegram announced his
safe arrival in Madrid and gaze his ad-
dress. 1t Is inferred that the English
government had learned from this tele
gram hat Pigott was in Madrid. 1t is
reported that a note book containing the
addresses of a number of persons in Ire.
land was found on the body. Pigott's
suicide caused a profound sensation
throughout England. Witnesses have
started from Paris for Madrid for the
purpose of formally identifying the body.
The Madrid police intend to hold the eff
tects OF the suicide pending an order
from the court relative to their disposal
Tie telegram Pigott sent from Madrid
Thursday to Soames' office in this city
was addressed to Shannon, the Times
Dublin solicitor. and not to Ponsoby, as
first reported. On receipt of the tele-
gram Soames notified the police of the
whereabouts of Pigott.
Pigott's telegram to Shannon read:
Please ask 81 to SEND me what you
promised. Write to Roland Ponsoby,
Hotel des Ambassadors, Madrid.
Shannon wrote to Pigott denying that
he promised him money. The police in
duced Soames not to send Shannon let
ter, and the clerk in Soames' office, to
detain Pigott in Madrid, wrote him say
ing that Shannon was in Ireland and that
when he returned the money would be
sent
Besides Pigott's check book, a letter
addressed to Laboucherc and a license to
carry arms in Ireland were found on his
body. The letter addressed to Labou-
ehere was closed and ready for mailing.
In it Pigott says the first batch of letters
sold by him to the Times was genuine,
but that in the second batch there we're
several forged letters, including two as
cribed to Parnell aud one other to Davitt,
O'kelley and Egan. Pigott further said:
Il am deeply sorry for all those | have
injured and am ready to place at their
disposal all the means in my power TO
remedy all | have said that was falses
Everything written under oath was true"
The license to carry a revolver was dated
at Dublin. A check book of the Ulster
bank was also found on the body. Pigott
tried to negotiate a check at a Madrid
bank, but in the absence of proof of his
identity the bank refused to cash it. A
note book full OF interesting tales was
also found.
