GLAD HE KEPT STILL,
Amusing Story About General Sher-
man,

A correspondent OF the Boston
Courier says that in 1878 he was re
turning from Salt Lake City to Bos-
ton. In the sleeping-car two gentle
men were awaiting the making up of
their berths, and he took a seat OPP
posite and engaged one of them in
conversational man, who, from his
dress, seemed to be returning Cali

wore blue underhannel in place of q
white shirt, and O. tie with q sailors
knot.
Hisintelligence greatly surprised me,
and / soon concluded that had mis-
taken my man.
A little later, when had become ac-
quainted with his travelling compan-
ion, who proved to be General Nc
Cook, asked him with whom l had
had the pleasure of conversing.
General Sherman, of the United
States Army, sir" he replied.
In due time we reached Omaha,
where we were to make q short stay.
General Sherman went at once to the

"No, DON'T" said the boy; "but
he owes me two cents for that sheet o.

Meanwhile the General had gone to

New Style In WhlSkers.

Whiskers are going out of style
again, and in the future clean shaven
faces will only be popular. For two
years every man who could raise q
mustache and whiskers did SO, because
it was all therage. Now it's the prop
er thing to shave every bit of hair
from the face and let the hair grow
long, and fall over the collar if you
can train it to do so. Full faces are
not going to be fashionable in the fu-
ture, and professional massuesesg are
doing a prosperous business in train
ing the skin and flesh on the face to
look fiabby and peaked. The object
is to look as intellectual as possible,
and with q Ratchet face, Che hair
brushed back from the forehead and
falling over the coat collar, the effect
desired is obtained The fad original
ed in New York and is going to be a
craze in a few weeks. Isdon't know
who is responsible for it.

Defined,

German commentators are said to
find in shakespeare's plays many
things which the author never dreamed
of putting there. Andif German schol-
ars may do this, why not an English
schoolboy?
The late Major Barttelot was educat-
ed at Rugby, and is still remembered
there as the hero of q funny blunder.
"What is the meaning of the word
'adage'?" asked the master.
Various wild guesses were hazarded
by different members of the class, and
then it came young Barttelot's turn.
Without hesitation he replied:
ga place to put cats into"
Every one laughed, and the master,
who was as much mystified as his pu-
pills by the strange answer, called the
boy up at the end of the lesson and
asked what had put such an idea into
his head.
"Why, sir" said Barttelot doesn't
it say in Shakespeare, Like the poor
cat in the adage'?"

A BIT OF HISTORY.

ASSaSSinS.

Execution of Mrs. Surratt, Harold.
Atzerot and Payne, the Lincoln
ASsassins.
The execution of Payne, Harold,
Atzerot and Mrs. Surratt, who had
been found guilty by military COM
mission of conspiracy to assassinate
Abraham Lincoln, took place in Wash
ington OH the 7th of July 1865. The
prisoners had spent theprevious even
ing and the forenoon in company with
their spiritual advisers. At 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon they were taken from
their cells by soldiers under command
of Gems. Hancock and Hartranft and
conducted to the scaffold. Mrs. Sur
raft was completely overcome and
could not walk without assistance,
Harold and Atzerot were also great
ly Frustrated, their evident terror be-
ing painful to witness. Payne alone
preserved an undaunted demeanor.
He walked to the gallows unaided and
at no time showed the least trace OF
fear. When the moose was being ad-
iusted he was careful to have it in the
proper position, and, in short, dis
played more nerve than any one else
present, spectators included. The
usual religious services were held and
then the prisoners were given an OPP
portunity to speak. Atzerot was the
only one who had anything to say.
He bade those present good-by and
asked them to take warming by his
example. The props under the scat
fold traps were then knocked away,
and in few moments the four con-
spirators had ceased to breathe. Mrs.
Surratt died without showing any
signs of suffering. Payne, who was a
man of great strength and vitality,
was the last to expire. The execution
was witnessed by q comparatively
small number OF people, but few
passes having been issued by Gen.
Hancock.

AIIison,s and Canuop's Statements.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Messrs. ALI
son and Cannon, chairmen respectively of
the Senate and House committees on ap-
preparations, have prepared statements
making a comparison of the appropriations
of the Fifty first with the F'iftieth Con
gress. The statement of Cannon shows
that during the Fiftieth Congress, cover
ing the salaries of $4,000. the total appro-
priations, including deficiencies, were SSH
963959. The appropriations of the Fifty
first Congress, embracing the fiscal years
1919 amount to $685., 40, 129. Net ap-
parent increase, Sf70, 1929. Cannon
says there should be added to the appro-
priations Of the Fiftieth and deducted from
the Fifty frstCougress, S65, 32l ,907 to meet
known deficiency for pensions in the ap-
preparations Of the former Congress. Can
non argues against increasing the number
of committees having charge OF appro-
priation bills, and says the system of dis
tributing them among various committees
is vicious and tends to extravaganza. He
thinks one committee of the House should
be charged with the preparation of money
bills for its consideration.
Senator Allison in his statement gives in
detail the reasons which operated in seve-
raj appropriation acts to increase the ex-
penditure authorized by the present Con-
gress over those of its predecessors. He
says the increase of 81, Al, AS under the
