Buck kilgore.

7 Buck Kilgore, the big man from
Texas who kicked the door against
Representative Dingley's nose, is dig
niiied and statesman-like enough in APP
pearance, but he Is as good natured and
ready for any kind of joke as a school
boy. In the closing hours of the ses-
sion on Wednesday Mr.. Kilgore fright
ened his colleagues by raising the point,
"No Quorum" and for some time re =
fusing to Withdraw it, although prayer
fully urged TO do so by men on both
sides of the chamber. Various stories
have been told as TO the argu-
ments which finally prevailed on Mr..
Kilgore to induce him TO withdraw his
point, but the true one has not yet
been printed. There is in Washington
4 club Of newspaper correspondents
known as the South Mountain Fishing
Club. The members of the club are as
devoted lot of disciples as lzaak Wal
ton ever had, and every spare afternoon
they have from their duties they spend
up the Potomac in pursuit OF the gamey
bass. For some time the members of
the club have been preparing for a
grand two weeks fishing trip in North
Carolina, TO be begun Immediately after
the adjournment of Congress. They
made all their preparations on the gen
eral understanding that Congress would
adjourn on Wednesday last, and were
even more anxious to get away than
most of the members OF the House.
One of the newspaper men who COM
pose the club is employed on the floor of
the House, and when he saw the per-
siStence with which Mr.. Kilgore adj
hered to his point OF no quorum he was
filled with alarm lest the North Caro-
lima fishing trip should be broken up by
the failure OF Congress to adj
journ. The newspaper man is on
friendly terms with Mr.. Kilgore, and at
last went to him and begged him in the
name of the rSouth Mountain Fishing
Club to withdraw his point of no quorum
and let the House adjourn on time.
The newspaper man pleaded so hard
and presented his case with such fervid
cloquence that the big and good-natured
statesman at last had his heart melted
and consented to withdraw his obstruc-
tive point for the sake of the South
Mountain Fishing Club. In return the
newspaper men have offered to go down
to Texas and stump his district for him
after their return from their fishing
trip

Interesting story.

Here is an interesting story. saws the
Chicago Nc3rs, which does not occur in
Louis Engel'S most charming book of
anecdotes and "reminiscences of musi-
clans, but which in points of interest
and OF prettinesS is OF piece with the
narratives contained therein. When
Ludwig Beethoven first visited the
Austrian court he was l6 years of age.
Well provided with letters of introduc-
tion to Emperor Joseph, he proceeded
alone to the palace, determined TO
play his way into the affections of the
monarch. Admitted To the palace, he
was met IN the ante-chamber by very
civil gentleman, who told him that the
Emperor could not well receive him
then, but would be glad TO have him
present himself that evening for an audi
ence in the Augarten. Attracted by
the quiet and friendly demeanOr of this
person, young Beethoven engaged in
conversation with him and presently
discovered that he was the EmperOr'S
barber, the discovery arising from the
strangers casual admission that he
shaved the Emperor every morning"
TELL me-" demanded the youth, lis
he indulgent or Severe?'
That depends answered the bar
Der, ''when he comes TO music matters
he IS strict enough"
YES. l know what that means, said
Beethoven, Sneeringly, The plays the
piano Il little. and strumS away on the
violincello, and compoSes sonataS, but,
between you and me, these big people
don't carry their music studies very far
after all"
This honest expression OF opinion
seemed to amuse the barber nightly;
he simply roared with laughter.
That evening at the appointed hour
Beethoven came to the Augarten and
was shown into the muSic-room, where
the Emperor and a friend were seated
in conversation. Intense was the young
musicians horror to learn that the sup
But the Emperor took the joke with
such amazing good humOr that Beetho-
ven. for his part. was willing 10 forgive
and forget. He seated himself at the
piano, and at the Emperor'S request
improyiScd on theme from Mozart'S
"Zarastro." This he did so remarkably
that his auditors were delighted. The
Emperor'S companion could not restrain
his JOY; running across the room, he
threw his arms about the youth, cry
ing: 'Such taste. Such skill. The
youth who can so interpret the thought
of another composer will one day be a
great master I'm the art HIMSELF"
"Ah, but the air itSelfiS so beautiful
said Beethoven, and then he added:
"Mozart'S music IS diyine.
My lad" cried the Emperor, beam
ing with delight, do you know whom
you are talking to? II is Mozart him
self to whom you have been playing
and whose lips have just predicted the
great future that lies before you!'

QUEEN VICTORIA.
what She Drinks and Why the Court
Physician Recommended Il.


The London World has been making an in
yostigaiion Of what the Queen drinks and has
ascertained definitely that, upon the advice Of
Sir William Jenuer, she drinks whiskey diluted
in water. This is for the purpose Of retaining
her vigor renewing her strength and prolong-
ing her life The whiskey which she drinks is
obtained from the distilery on her own Balmo
raj estate, and Of course is perfectly pure. Thus
the World offers valuable suggestion in this
fact: England's sovereign drinks whiskey under
the recommendation OF the court physician and
on account Of its medicinal properties, and she
drinks it absolutely pure, having it distilled
upon her own estate. These facts prove two
things: First, that all modern medical science
demonstrates the superior value OF whiskey for
sustaining the health and prolonging the life;
aud second, that 1t must be absolutely pure
The leading American physicians and chemists
phasized the necessity OF having whiskey that
Is absolutely pure. The best medical and chem
zeal talent in America has shown that no whis

So true is this. that while many temperance peo-

they acknowledge the superior merit OF Duly
Malt and use il incidentally continually. Great

She Couldn't Kiss.

If she didn't like it, She didn't know.
Then inquired If she disliked it. She
didn't know. She never had anyone DO
it before and had never tried to kiss
anyone herself. | told her to try it
once for luck. But she said she
couldn't. Boswell, you could have
knocked me down with feather How
ever, recovered myself and tried to
teach her. She was willing pupil,
but beyond getting her to pucker her
| lips | couldn't make her 90. The kiss
was beyond her. She would blow
through her lips or draw in n
good-Sizcd breath. Bat kiss she
could not. Well, Boswell, l am

gle. And | was not then. So taught
