He Will Take Trip to Florida Little
Later in the Season.
WASHINGTON, jan 5.-Senator Quay
arrived from Beaver to-day and will re-
main here until he takes trip to Florida a
little later on. He cannot stand the strain
of his legislative and political duties for any
great length of time without feeling it, and
so he sees to it that ne has an outing now
and then. He had little rest this evening,
for few knew that he had arrived, and 80 he
was able to enjoy several hours of his
favorite relaxation--a tour through his ex-
tenslve and excellent library. Tomorrow
he will face the office-SeekerS and the legis-
lation hunters. He looks very well, but he
says that his attack of la grippe last week
was all that his heart could desire of that
sort of thing.
HIS LEGISLATIVE HOBBIES.
Senator Quay SAYS the first thing he will
attempt in the Senate will be the passage Of
the total disabilities pensioning bill recon-
mended by all the commissioners of pensions
since 1880, when the law passed increasing
the total disabilities pension from $50 to $72
per month was so worded as to exclude new
applicants from the benefit of the increase.
Senator Quay says the Senate will pass his
bill. which gives all totally disabled a
pension OF $72 per month, and the House
will do likewise He thinks the Senate is
likely to pass direct tax Oil very soon.

told him that he had not prospered and
had no money, but could get some
mining stock for money due him. and
this he would give Titus in satisfaction

$4,000 a Week in Postage.

What do YOU think of a mans

said clerk in the stamp department
of the postoffice to n. Y. World re-
porter. Il know an advertiser now in
this city whose stamp bill is often that
much. He pays $40, 900 office rent for
the quarters in which he carries on his
various businesses too. As soon as he
gets company on its feet he sells it
out, invents or thinks up a new
speciality; or what purports to be one,
rigs up high-sounding name for il
and for the concern which it is sup
posed to manufacture and sell gets a
new office, and sends out quite batch
of circulars and advertising books and
pamphlets. OF some of his pamphlets
he orders 10000. 900 copies. Where
does he get list of names long enough
and reliable enough to justify such an
expenditure for printing and postage?
Well, he owns every city directory and
every blue-book. red-book, and elite
book published in North America. He
also owns hundred of dozens of old
letters, which he makes business of
buying up all over the country wher-
ever he can get hold of them. just for
the sake of the names and addresses
they contain and suggest. Does he
make moneyP You may infer an
answer from the fact that he paid

A Nice Little Boy.

Ii 6-year-old boy who rode up Fifth
avenue in stage yesterday does not
turn out to be genius it viii not be
the fault of his father. says the n. Y.
Ercni'ag Sun. The latter looked like a
prosperous banker and was reading his
paper. The boy, who knelt beside
him, was nicely dressed and kept up a
running fire of questions from Fifty
first street to Madison square. But
the father was so interested in the
newspaper that he did not listen to
these questions. and answered them
merely to keep his son from boring
other people. The stage was well
filed when they entered, and as the
youngster climbed upon the seat he
said:
Say, papa, what makes that lady's
cheeks so red?"
Yes, my son."
.'Does she use paint?"
Il guess so.''

me sick when / ate it?'

Representative Mason tells "court
warm the incidents of which occurred
while he was an attorney in Iowa. Ma
son appeared as counsel for the de-
fendant. While engaged in delivering
his argument an old countrynlan en-
tered the court and took seat next 70
the panel of jurors. Mason naturally
directed his attention frequently to the
furthest man from him, as he thought,
in the jury. This happened to be the
venerable man from the country. Glar-
lug at him. he said:
Gentlemen of the jury, want to
know how on earth this man (referrlnS
to the plaintiff in the case, but staring
at the supposed JUROR can have the
assurance to come into court? What
does he want? What is his business
hereP What is he seeking? Again l
demand, gentlemen of the jury, why is
he hereen
These questions were thought by the
countryman to be addressed to him,
but Mason thought the indignation
written on the features of the country
man was the result of the argument
and therefore highly promising for his
client. He paused to note the effect OF
his words on the jury, when the rustic
jumped up and howled:
You want to know what | am here
for, YOU cross-eyed fool2 What am |
looking for in this here court? Well,
I'll tell you. You little fat son of a GUT!
For three DAYS have been here wait
ing for my fees and nary red cenr
have l got yet. What am here for,
you good-for-nothing animal? Pay me
my witness fees, sir, and Eli get out of
here at once"
The unexpected outburst brought
DOWN the house; judge, jury, and law
yers included. AS for Mason. he was
SO amazed that the able argument
which he had prepared was never con-
eluded.-N Y Tribune.

Vera saw her lift her hands and cover
her face.
Then in the winter twilight, the girl
arose and left her there-left her to face
remorse and regret as best she might
in the very winter of her life.
An hour later the following note was
put in Vera's hands by servant:

And Vera went with the skating
party, and was happier than ever be-

she sped like swallow over the ice, a
pitiful thought for the lonely, loveless
woman she had left in the twilight was
| with her.

seen Lee she will not wonder that l

Returning in the starlit cold Of the
night, she led her lover to where that
frail figure lay back among the pillows.
Aunt, l have brought Lee, as you
bade me-" she said, softly.
No answer.
She bent over the still face, looked a
moment into it, and shrank toward her
lover with a cry of terror.
