A Thrifty Congressman.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE secretary
of agriculture is being greatly annoyed
by some person is Washington, who is
sending postal cards to new members
of congress, offering for sale 500 copies

copies of the special report on dis
eases of the horse. The number adj
vertised of each of these reports is ex-
actly the allotment of a member of the

is irresistible that some member of that
body is converting into money docu-
ments which congress voted for the
use and benefit of his constituents.
