The Winchester Times says: Mr.. Chas.
Houck was summoned by Telegraph last
week to come to Strasburg to see his
brother Mr.. Hal Houck, who had cut his
right hand with a moving scythe whilst
at work in the field. Mr.. HIS hand became
very much SWOLLEN and turned black, and
fears we're entertained that blood poison
had set in. Mr.. Houck accompanied by
DR.. Miller, went up on the mail train
same day, and when they arrived found
his brother suffering very much. DR.. Miller
assisted by DR.. Brown of Strasburg, rem
dered the surgical aid, and at last ac-
counts the patient was doing as well as
could be expected.

says:
Yesterday afternoon, about 10 o'clock a
young man named VIM. Bricker, son OF
Mr.. John w. Bricker of near Ottobine, de-
scended into a well of Mr. Samuel T..
Longs near this place and was overcome
by choke damp. He called to those above
to draw him up, but when about halfway
out he fell back to the bottom, and before
rescued he was so far exhausted that he
only lived few minutes after reaching
terra frma. The heroic conduct ola young
man by the named of Clake is to be high
~ commended in riskng his own life in
the attempt to save his friend. Young
Bricker was an industrious and worthy
young man, and his sudden taking off is
a great shock to his family and friends.

resistible impulse to snatch him up and
kiss him. With as much solemnity as
any Senator in the chamber he ac-
knowledges the fitness Of the sobriquet
which the older pages have fastened to
him-the Little Lady from Dakota-and
without a trace of offense accepts the
title as his own.
Fred Kappeler is also a diminutive
lad of thirteen. but is a more rugged,
boyish chap. He acknowledges Robert
Porter, the superintendent of census,
as his patron saint. Fred was born in
Switzerland, but in the seven years OF
his residence in America all traces of
his mother tongue have been obliter-
ated from his English speech. He is
we'll aware that it would take an amend
ment of the constitution to make him
eligible to the Presidency, but he very
contentedly asserts that there is moth
ing to hinder him from becoming Sem
ator, and SO far as his observation goes
Senator is more to be envied than
President, for all Senator has to do is
to "spat his hands and the pages do
all the work for him." Fred answers to
the name OF Swipes and says he is sure
it will never offend his dignity, not
even when he becomes Senator, to be
known by that pseudonym.
In the bestowal of nicknames the
pages seem to delight in contrariety.
For example, Mckee Cochrane, who is
of an extreme blonde type, is called
Ethiope, and Albert Mackey, whose ex-
ceeding generosity has made him the
favorite of the group, is called Shylock.
| Events in the careers of the boys also de-
| termine their nicknames. as in the case
of Logan Harris, handsome little fell
low with bright twinkling eyes. who is
called Pie because when he was being
initiated to the secrets of page etiquette
he was informed, and he believed, that
| it was his conventional duty to buy q
round of pie at the Senate restaurant
for all of the other pages. He bought,
along with this experience, the name
which will not leave him, at least until
he quits the atmosphere of the Senate.
To interview Senator who has
nothing to say has been adjudged by
newspaper men pretty difficult thing
to do. But compared with interviewing
fourteen Senate pages who have every
thing to say and are eager to say it all
at once it is as easy as rolling oil the
traditional log. met the. boys alto

concerning Senators they began to push
and crowd and chatter all at once. The
atmosphere was full of opinions. Had
been fourteen stenographers with a
full complement of ears could not have
heard and preserved all that they told
me. Every one of them talked louder
and faster than all the rest and each
tugged at some portion of my apparel
to attract my attention to what he had
to say. The frankness of these boys,
their willingness to, declare an honest
eagerness to "talk for publication" set
the unaffected little fellows far above
some men of note whom have known
men who, while manifestly no less
eager, surround themselves with sham
barriers and sit behind them sorely dis
appointed If the interviewer does not
see the sham and knock the barriers
down-pan talooned Poloniuses who can
not play upon the pipe, yet seek to play
upon the journalist.
+ Out of the clamor managed tosnatch
few facts--frst, the gen eral fact that
good feeling prevails be tween the Sem
ators and their pages, and then some
specifications as TO individuals. Sena-
tor Stanford was unanimo usly declared
to be an able statesman and great man
because each year he gives them all an
entertainment at his house, where he
distributes presents, and then because
he gives bright crisp s5 bill to each
page every year. But as the chatter
went on this was found to be compli-
mentary ballot Senators Manderson,
Vance, Reagan, German and Davis
seemed really to be the m ost general
favorites of the boys, and Senators
Ransom, Dixon, Moody, Butler and
Henderson were declared to be the
handsomest men in the Senate. They
give also to Senator Butler the credit Of
being the most polite and elegant gen.
| tleman in the chamber. Senator Cor
man is liked because he once was page
himself and has not forgotten it.
'sHe is alwaysg good natured," said one
Of the little fellows, ..and often tells us
| stories about what. he used to do when
he was a>page. Iguess he was ripper,

to be a sortof cap for aclimax of COM

r Senator Vest is not generally favor
ite with the boys. Indeed, the young
sters passed unmistakable censure upon
the very. vigorous language he some
times uses toward them, and they as
sert openly that they would rather be
doing something else when he snaps
his fingers for a page. One of the boys,
however, thinks Senator Vest is pref
| ty good sort of man. Mckee Coch-
| rane was one day rushing at breakneck
speed to do the bidding of some other
Senator, when, darting out of the cham
Der, he e-plumped squarely into Senator
Vest and knocked breath enough out of
him to make raw material for half dog
