is being rapidly raised. The leaders of
the strike are still defiant and talk mys-
teriously about some important move to
be made which will allow them to re-
tire from the fight with flying colors
upon the basis of q compromise
WITH the railroad officials. Every
thing Is very quiet. but whether this
calm is merely lull before storm

secured confessions of the intimacy
from both his wife and the doctor. The

WELL" said the SENATOR who is one of the
young and irreverent members of the body,
did any of you ever notice anything peculiar
about Vice President Morton's wig?"
All the senators replied no, except a few who
went SO far as to say that they never suspected
that Mr.. Morton wore wig at all. Having
convinced them on this point, the young sena-
tor proceeded to explain his discovery as fol-
lows:
Il tell you what it is, Mr.. Morton has a differ
ent wig for every day in the week. They are
all precisely alike, except that the hair on some
OF them is longer than that on the others.
They are marked for the days in the week, ike
set of razors, and each one is worn but a day
at time"
What in the world is the object of all that ?"
asked serious minded old senator.
why, don't you see," replied his young col
league, Mr.. Morton desires it to sppear that he
changes his wig from day to day so that it would
look as Il his hair were growing in the natural
way II you will notice closely you will see hat
on Saturday the hair on his head is much longer
than it was on Monday. OF course hair that
grows on a wig doesn't grow in the easy way
that hair on the head does, and SO our President
has adopted the plan of wig for every day in
order to fool us and the public. Don't you
see?"
Some of the senator's said they did see and
others said they did not, but each of them is
now availing himself Of every opportunity to
make a close examination Of MFR. Morton's

Curious Story of George Sand.

Baron Hausman. says the London Globe,
who is about to publish his autobiography
includes story of George Sand and her
mother-in-law, Baroness Dudevant, whom
ne met while he was Sub Project of Nerac
The baroness was Of an old and notable
Anjou ia mily, and lived with a lady COM
panion alone at country place at Cutlery,
on the edge of the Landes. She was the
widow OF colonel of Napoleon, a sad
scamp, and, out of good nature, having no
child OF her own, let him take into the
house the son of peasant woman, who said
he was the colonels.
This boy was finally treated by the baroness
as her son, and she settled the reversion of her
fortune on him. When he proposed for George
sand he was a coarse and drunken brute, and a
oane TO his mother by adoption, as he was later
TO bis wife. On the death Of the former he
Sub-Prefect Haussman received letter from
the head OF the civil tribunal Of Paris ordering
MIN TO aid George Sand TO recover her daughter
Soiange, who, in the teeth of a judgment, had
been carried off by NJ. Dudeyant.
ooiange, who was a rude little girl, was duly
recovered, and she and her already famous
mother were kept at the prefecture. The latter
dessed badly, smoked constantly, was thirty
years Old, short and stout, and looked like a
Spanish woman. Her face was long oval,
with nose slightly curved, and she had deep
set black eyes and a dark complexion, and her
manner was, moreover. indolent. She had not
a spice of coquetry, and was dull in converse
ton.
Her perseverance in her revolt against so
ciety appeared to the baron to arse entirely
from obstinacy. She gave a sub-prfeect, in
bidding him good-by, piece of agate, which
she used as a flint to strike fire, and told him If
ne came to Nohant she would have for him a
narghile. the smoke of which would pass
through cold rose water,
