When Garfeld's administration au.
spiciously opened, Mr.. Blaine sat more
firmly intrenched in the state depart
ment than any secretary of state since
the days of Seward, says the Wash
ington Post. 1t was evident that he
was master of the situation. Ministers,
ENJOYS, consuls general, consuls and
diplomatic agents moved at his nod,
like pawns and pieces on a chess
board beneath masters hand. One
favorite theory of his, and not un-
popular one, was in favor of limited
tenures of service and rotation in
Office. If consul had slumbered
through three administrations at some
far-away post, in dolce far niente of
lotns-eating and salary-drawing exis-
tence, the keen secretary astounded
him by inviting return to the shores
of America and the appointment of
his successor.
Mr.. Blaine sat in his private Office
one day discussing affairs of state with
his immediate predecessor. ex-Secre-
tary William Maximum Evarts.
"Now here" said he, "is case in
point. This man has been consul at
Un Hung for twenty years. He went
there during the war, and has remain
ed there ever since. 1t is time he re-
turned home to be acquainted with
his country before he grows a cue.
If he stays there much longer he will
have Chinese bias in his sight. 1
shall remove him at once."
81 wouldn't remove him, Mr..
Secretary" replied Mr.. Evarts.
"Why not ?"
II am afraid it will be ali unpleas-
ant thing to do"
"My mind is made up" said Mr..
Blaine cas- soon as l can find good
live man to take his place shall re-
move him."
"But think you will have grave
difficulty in finding good live man
who would be willing to take his
place."
81 anticipate no such difficulty.
But will you explain to me, Mr.. Fvarts,
why you think there would be any
difficulty?"
Because this man has been dead
and buried these six months, Mr..
Secretary"

he finally fell asleep on a vacant seat.
He had one more shot in reserve,
however. AS he lay down he called
out:
"Say, mamma, wake me up when
we get to grandma's. l want to hear

Fannie Won the Wager.

cinnati society bud, is visiting her
cousin Nellie in Piqua. Young Mr..
Filley, ofSt. Louis, and his sister Nina
are also visiting the same house.
Barnum's circus was in Piqua the
other day and young Mr.. Filley took
the girls to see the show. In discuss
ing the performance afterward the
young man expressed his particular
wonderment at the feats of a female
contortionist. He was especially
amazed at the highly accomplished
manner in which she twisted her foot
around the back of her neck and made
a cushion rest for her head out of her
heel. The warmth with which Mr..
Filley expressed his admiration of
this act seemed to nettle Miss Beale a
trihe, and she turned up her nose and
said:
"Pshawl That isn't anything to
brag about. ! can do it myself"
Cousin Nellie and Miss Filley
screamed and assured Miss Fanny that
she was awful, and young Mr.. Filley
laughed at her and pooh-poohed. But
the spoiled beauty's sporting blood
was up and she turned 10 Mr.. Filley
and said, in decided tones:
"I'll just bet you the price of box
of kid gloves that can."
Young Mr.. Filley promptly took
the bet. Then the delicate question
as to how Miss Beal's ability to per-
form the acrobatic feat could be prov
ed to the satisfaction of the young
gentleman arose, and it was finally
settled that Cousin Nellie should be
present while the act was on as refree
for Miss Beale, and that young Mr..
Filley's sister should also be there in
the interests of her brother.
The three girls retired to Miss Beale's
room, and young Mr.. Filley waited on
the piazza for an official report of the
result of the feat. Spasmodic bursts
of mirth from Miss Beale's room
reached his ears for time, and then
there was painful silence for a few
seconds. This was finally broken by
screams of laughter, an exclamation of
wonder and loud clapping of hands in
the room.
"Blinked if don't believe the little
tartar has won it" said young Mr..
Filley to himself.
Another period of painful silence
followed the outburst of wonder and
applause. This was followed by
scream or two not prompted by mirth-
fulness or wonderment. Suddenly
Cousin Nellie burst from the room
and ran out shouting in alarmed tones
for her mother. Young Mr.. Filley
arose.
"Has she done it, Nellie?"
"Oh. Mr.. Filleyw Miss Nellie
sobbed. "She has done it, but she
can't undo it! Please run for
doctor! And, oh, Mr.. Filley, get an
old one %
Fortunately physician of 40 years
practice in the town lived only two
squares away. Young Mr.. Filley
called him in a hurry. He was a
good while in Miss Beale's room, but
when he left it he was smiling.
When Miss Beale came out an hour
or so later she was trihe lame, but
she announced triumphantly to young
Mr.. Filley that she had won the bet.
The official report Of the referees
unanimously sustained the claim and
it was promptly paid.
81 used to do it easy when was at
school," said Miss Beale, reAectively.

once stuck before. l guess / must be
