BELONGED TO The BAND.
A Drummer Excused by the Surgeon foI
a Sore Throat.


Sore Throat.
Some amusing stories relative to the eff
feet of the recent court-martials and inves-
legations are going about in army circles,
and one of them comes from Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo. An Investigation was held at
the barracks last year as result of the talk
about assertions in the army, and ever
since the investigation the officers at the
barracks have been extremely careful in
their treatment of enlisted men. The
Steel Wild court-martial of recent notOrlety
has increased the delicacy of their places;
so when member of the military band at
the barracks came to the post surgeon with
a long face and a plaintive story about
sore throat he was treated with a consider
alton which was as marked as ii was gratl-
fying.
sore throat eh?" said the surgeon
pleasantly. Let me see. On, that's not
so bad. A slight irritation. nothing more.
You'll be all right in day or two. | guess
you would better take no chances of re-
newing the trouble by using your throat,
though, so | will recommend that you be
excused from active duty for two weeks"
Armed with the surgeons certificate the
bandsmau obtained his two weeks relief
from active duty. His two weeks had just
come to an end when he met the post sur
geon on the parade-ground. The bands
man saluted. The surgeon recognized the
face and stopped.
Flows the throat?" he said pleasantly.
tits quite well, sir" was the reply.
That's good" said the surgeon. You
can get back to your duty now without
fear By the way. what instrument do you

DIGNITY WITHOUT PROFIT.
The Pres dent of the Senate Must Strug'
gle to Keep Awake.

The Pres dent of the Senate Must Strug-
gle to Keep Awake.
To preside over the Senate is one of the
least profitable and least interesting occupa-
tions public man can have, especially
when be has not the right to vote, but only
TO sit as figurehead-a symbol of authori-
ty. The dignity of the position, of course,
makes it one that any American citizen
would be glad to occupy, but it is seldom the
desire of either the Vice President or the
President pro TEN. to occupy the chair at all
times during the session. For instance, II

has nothing to do but to sit in the chair and
try to appear TO pay attention and keep
himself IRON going to sleep. ingalls,, 1t

and then on such occasions when he felt
himself getting drowsy. 1t is customary,

but the new Senator is apt to be ready VIC
tim for the sacrifice The other day there
was particularly dreary session, dron-
ing speech being made with no prospect
of early termination, and only about half
dozen Senators were in their seats. A
drowsy spirit settled on the eyellds OF
the Nice-Prcsident and he looked anx-
iously on the floor for some one whom
he might call to take the chair. Every
time his eyes rested upon those of
Senator he knew there was a look of in
teligence flashed back at him that said
plainly enough that he had better not
apply there. Finally his attention was
directed to Senator Moody, and with sud-
den great joy he beckoned to that gentle
man. Mr.. Moody came forward with
alacrity and the Vice-President very
blandly asked him if he would pre-
side over the Senate in his absence
Moody presided, and actually kept wide
awake with an expression of delight encir-
cling his countenance during the session.
Since then he has been so elevated that he
is quite out OF the reach Of all of his old
associates.-New York Commercial Adver-

MAKING PLAYING CARDS.

Processes by Which the King, Queen,

1t is surprising the great number of
p laying cards that are used, One factory

COO packs a day. The owner attributes the
present great demand principally to the
prog ressiye euchre craze, and says that the
Americans are the greatest people on the
globe for amuSements at cards. A re-
porter of the Cincinnati Times-Star who
visited the establishment, was told in an
swer to numerous queries about the ways
of manufacturing the cards: much of the
process is a secret with Us, but still l can
tell ana show you great deal. The bris-
tol cardboard for making the cards con-
sists of two sheets glued together by being
passed between two immense rollers. The
cardboard must then be dried, pressed,
glazed and prepared for further work. The
cardboard is prepared in sheets large
enough TO contain whole pack Of playing

MONTANA CHIYALRY.
How One Bad Man Was Cured BY an Ur

How One Bad Man Was Cured By an I'm
known Sidney.
Now and then you will find man who
will bully and fight at the same time. Such
a man was "Lop-s houldered Bill" as we
called him in Montana. He was ugly, quar-
relsome, and braggart, but he would have
fought ten men as soon as one. For two
years he had revolver where he could
drop his hand on to it in second, and the
half dozen chaps who were looking to get
the drop on him had to keep on wait
ing. One day, however. Bilrs shooter got
out OF repair and he gave 1t to miner TO
be fixed. Instead of waiting for it he wan
dered down to saloon where the hard uns
congregated, aud it wasn't quarter OF an
hour before he set out to pick fuss with a
new arrival. He just ached to kill some
body and when he nettied the stranger
into talking back" he reached for his gun
to pop him. His gun wasn't there. When
Bill realized 1t he turned us white as snow,
thinking his time had come. The stranger
had drawn on him You see, and he carried
a wicked look in his eyes.
"Well?" he asked, as Bill raised his
hands.
81 haven't any gun"
g | see. Leave it somewhere"
Yes"
Every careless in you. I've got the call"
" You bev."
"You are bad man and ought to shoot
you through the head; but don't like this
cold-blooded business. Hold up your right
hand and spread out the fingers"
stranger, don't do il"
'Either that or III put six bullets into
your heart. Spreadp'
Bill held up his right hand and three re-
ports followed each other like the ticking
Of a clock. Each finger was shot off at the
first joint.
"Thafll d." said the man, as he lowered
his weapon. You can't pull trigger with
nothing on that hand and before you can
learn to shoot left-handed some one will
bury you"
He went out and away and Bill sent for
a doctor and sat there and cried like n boy.
Next day he left without a word to any of
US. and we always believed he jumped off
