THE House is very much alive these days
in spite of rival attractions. Yesterday it
passed the anti-option bill. and threw the
river and harbor appropriation bill and the
naval appropriation bill into conference. To
deal with three bills or this importance in
one day is no mean record for a body with
such a reputation as this Congress has

General Miller Takes No Stock.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Attorney General
Miller's attention was to-day called to the
report OF the speech of John NJ. Langston in
Chicago on the evening OF June 3. In the
report of that speech 1t is said it was
charged by the speaker against the Attor-

single prosecution against the perpetra tors

Mr. Miller said: "No such case was ever
reported to the Department. of Justice, and.
as l believe, no such lynching ever oc-
Cured"

THE VERY SMART YOUNG MAN.

Eureka" said Young Leatherhead, and he
laughed in his boyfsh glee,
"Just wait till start out and then I'll let these
fogies see
That they're too slow for to-day, you know,
they cannot strike Its gait;
Ill teach them how to capture fame and for
tune while you wait"
And he smiled smile as he thought awhile
and he laid him out plan
To win more gold than bank could hold, did
the very smart young man.
" My sire's a good old SOUL" said he, "but oh!
1t would drive me mad
To have to save from here to the grave as has
my poor old dad;
And after I've been gone awhile 1t win be q
JOY profound
To come and show folks how I'll SOW my
stack Of wealth around"
And he sow, did he, glad things to be when he
his course began,
And he paused to get cigarette, did the very
smart young man.
And there came o day when he went away,
this youth who would fortune win.
He had hxed q scheme, twas . pretty dream
TO somehow scoop IL in
And no told his pa, and fxs told his ma, and he
told his neighbors, too,
In glowing style and q happy smile of the
wondrous things he'd do.
But the world went round, and the sun went
down, as they have since the world be-
gan,
And the days that came brought wealth nor
fame to the very smart young man.
In . ragged coat one day he wrote these
words to his loving ma:
Dear mother, can't you plan some way to hx
IL up with pa
To send me ticket to bring me home Q've
really had no chance
To garner wealthy, and, by the by, CASTOR
pair of pantsf"
And the boy came back to his pa, alack and
begged of him to plan
Some happy way three meals day to get for
the smart young man.

A HUNGRY MANS DREAMS.

Began to Eat.

The Banquet Always Vanished just as He
Began to Eat.
One of the worst evils attending
penal servitude is said to be the hunger
which assails man with a healthy APP
petite during the first few months or
years of his imprisonment, says the
Boston Globe. A man who has just
done long term for forgery says:
II used to go to bed every night
pinched by hunger. began dreaming
of banquets, and would have thought
nothing strange about it had not the
same dream come to me every night.
The banquet was always the same. in
the same place, and always ad the
same place at the table.
'.The cxasperating thing about it was
that just as the first course was offered
always awoke, SO that even in my
dreams was not permitted to taste of
the munificent spread which was night
ly presented to me in my sleep.
II dreaded to go to bed. because the
dream tortured me. 1t only made me
the hungrier, and / then understood
the agony of Tantalus, the fable hero
who was tortured with thirst and to
whose lips the waters were ever COM
ing and receding just as he was in the
act of taking drink"

barrels and boxes near the further end
of the store. Finding no one within
he was about to go out in search of
omebody to supply his wants. when a
low moan reached his ears. Swinging
quickly around he started in the dircc-
tion of the sound and had taken but a
step when he recoiled with loud cry.
Great guns. Billy, what ais yep
This was addressed to the first victim,
who, with neck and hands streaming
with blood sought to raise himself to
his feet Taking in the whole situa-
ton at a glance, the rancher assisted
the wounded man to his wagon and
then in his sturdy arms bore the ap-
parently lifeless body of the woman
to his side. Closing the store doors he
turned the key, and placing it IN his
pocket, seized his horses by the bits
and swiftly led them TO the house.
Drawing the wagon close up to the
doorstep his first care was the woman,
whom he tenderly carried within, and
returning, was about TO help the man
out when another neighbor drove up,
and seeing something was wrong
descended and bore hand in the labor
of caring for the wounded. Together
the men bandaged them up as best they
could, making sure to stem the flow of
the life current, after which the new
conner, taking out one of his horses,
rode like mad for the nearest physician,
several miles away in the direction of
Ell Monte.
With the close of day came several
other ranchers to the store and, finding
it closed, repaired to the proprie-
tors house, thinking to get him to
come and supply their various wants,
but upon entering the house they were
Mortified at the sight there presented
One of them said: There ought to be
. woman's hand here, and I'll run down
for my wife, boys, and then when the
doctor comes. we'll investigate this
affair" Suiting the action to the word
he was of like fash. leaving the re-
manning neighbors attentively engaged
in caring for Uncle Billy and his
noble wife.

turned with bis wife, who imme diately
set about making the slowly reviving
victim of the Mexican's bullet as COM
Portable as possible, and before the ar
rival of the physician, had restored her
to perfect consciousness and so far re-
suscitated Uncle Billy as to enable
him to give an accurate description of
the Mexican and his rnurdcrous attack.
As soon as the particulars were
given the men retired outdoors and in
low tones held hasty consultation,
