Ed Corrigan, the horse owner. is no,
the model from which the artist fash
ioned the Apollo Belvidere, and hh
brother Pat would never be mistaken by
even blind man for the Venus de Milk
in male attire. This means that Ed and
Patt are homely. It's natural, and they
can't help it, and so are not ashamed of
IL; but they dress a good deal better now
than they did few years ago. When
Ed Corrigan first came up from Kansas
City he looked like section hand on a
Colorado railway, and Pat looked like
another section hand on another railway
in the same State.
Well, one day the two Corrigan broth
ers came up to Chicago TO see the sights.
They had been doing pretty well in Kan
sas City and had plenty of money; and
so they went TO the Grand Pacific, which
at that time was the best hotel in town.
AS soon as they registered Ed said to
Pat:
"Come on, now, Pat, and let's change
our breath.
"All right, Ed, said Pat; a want to
wash my face, but you go ahead and get
the bottle out on the bar and I'll be with

less surprised when that individual, who
WAS still staring at him, broke out into a
loud and long continued laugh.

growled the man from Kansas City.
He, he! Ha, ha! Ho, no! Haw,

came out upon his forehead one by one.
Corrigan didn't quite know whether to
be offended or amused. So he asked
again to make sure:
What's the matter with you?"
Haw, hawl" gasped the bartender,
the tears rolling down his cheeks.
~Where did you come from?"

kansas City, Ell? Haw, haw? Well,

"Tll bet there amt, =" said the bar
keeper.
Well, said Corrigan, @TIl tell you

General Grants Pun and MIR. Lincoln'a
Dispatches 90 Hts Generals.
1t has been semi-of6cially recorded
somewhere that General Grant is the
only President who ever dared to perpe-
tIate pun in state paper, and that he
did il in one of his messages when he
said: Agriculture is the groundwork
of our national prosperity President
Lincoln's joking propensities are historic,
and if he has left no message with pun
in it the Government files at least afford
numerous illustrations of his inclination
TO give play 10 his humor.
In preparing for the printer the manu-
script of the rebellion records the officials
of the War Department frequently run
across letters and kilograms written in
Mr.. Lincoln's Characteristic style, and
abounding in wit, all the more surprising
when the circumstances under which the
correspondence were carried on are ne.
membered. In June, 1868. General Dan
T. Tyler telegraphed President Lincoln
from Martinsburg that he and his com.
mand Were besieged. The President i'm.
mediately wrote this message in reply:
IF you are besieged how do you dis.
patch me? Why did you not leave
before being besiegedG"
The following month General Thomas
telegraphed: "The Union forces are
now passing Carlisle" (Pa). To this mes.
sage Mr.. Lincoln replied: lee is now
passing the Potomac faster than the
forces you mention are passing Carlisle.
Forces now beyond Carlisle
will in my unprofessional opinion
be quite as likely to capture the man in
the moon as any part of Lees army.
A prominent general on another
occasion telegraphed Mr.. Lincoln that
the head of IS army (Confederate)
is at burg and the tail is on the plank
road near town. To this the Presi-
dent replied; you say the head of
IS army is at burg and the tail
at town. If this be true the animal
must be there somewhere. Can't you
break his back?"
When the President and every member
of the administration were apprehensive
that Early would succeed in marching
into Washington, Mr.. Lincoln sat down
by the side of his telegraph operator and
In telegram to the commanding gen.
eral of the Union forces explained by the
Rule of Three how it was possible to keep
the Confederates from reaching the
