HE HAD HIS WAY.

My shaving brush is missing, and my shoehorn
can't be found,
Ny comb and brush ! cannot see. my cane is
nowhere round,
MY tall silk hat is ruf1ed up, my pens have
gone astray-
But all this woe is naught to me. for baby's had
his way.
What though my shoes are minus strings. my
manuscripts awry?
| know this betokens babes been spared a
heartful cry.
What though the floor is ever strewn with
toys, by night and day?
Is there not pleasure in the thought that baby's
had his way?
1t hurts to have my mustache pulled. and
games at 4 a. IN.
Are not just suited to my mind: but John is
fond Of them.
And, after all, it seems to me, no man can well
gainsay
That there is lots and lots of fun when baby
has his way.
So, son and heir. continue on thy happy, blest
career;
Meier shall thy daddy interpose to raise the
scalding tear.
Whate'er discomfort comes tn me, cease not
thy joyous play;
AS far as I'm concerned. my boy, go on and
have thy way.

Rival JOkers.

The jealousy which almost always ex-
lists between different arms of the military
service used to be illustrated by the dia-
logues which took place between cavalry
men and infantrymen during the civil
war. 1t was Il favorite and brutal joke on
the part of the cavalrymen, who affected
to despise the foot soldiers, to shout to
some soldiers as the cavalry were passing
the infantry on the march:
Are you tired of walking?"
Whereupon, if the infantryman, suppos-
ing that he was going to get a lift, re-
spondcd "Yes!" the cavalryman would say,
'Well try running awhile."
The infantrymen, for their part, ridi-
culed the cavalrymen numerically when
they were in camp, where the cavalrymen
were compelled to spend much of their
time in acting as body servants to their
horses.
A cavalryman was one day engaged in
laboriously cleaning down" his rather
rawboned stced. An infantryman saun-
tered up, and with his hands behind his
Jack leisurely inspected the operation.
"Hullo, John!' said the cavalryman.
Think you'd like to be in the cavalry?"
"Oh, yes" said the infantryman, but
only as il horse!'-Youth's Companion.

WAGES.

Hon. John Jarrett of Pittsburgh,
late United States Consul at Birm-
ingham, England, has written an ar
ticle in which he gives an interesting
picture of the condition of British
iron makers to-day as compared with
their condition thirty years ago.
when Mr.. Jarrett was still an Eng
lisb citizen. From that article we
learn that in Staffordshire, n of the
most prosperous regions in England.
skilled puddlers of iron who received
II shillings per ton in 1850 receive
only s sinllings per ton for the same
labor to-day. Yet the American
Cobdenite declares, and will pro.

in England are higher now than
ever before.

a Fortunate Senator.

Senator Sawyer's daughter, Mrs.
Howard sfanson White, is perfectly
devoted to her father, ard her atten-
tons to his comfort seem to have no
end. The senator is continually seen
out with her, although he much pre-
fers home quiet to society whirl.
Still what airs. White says is his law.
When night sessions compel his at
tendance Mrs. White is assiduOus in
her attempts to make him comfort
able. Everybody about the senate
has a soft spot for die senator, and
aids and aDets Mrs. White most viii
ingly. On one occasion of a night
session. when the senator insisted
that it was his duty to stay, Mrs.
White gave it up and drove away.
In about all hour she appeared i'll the
senate corridor, followed by her foot
man, bearing q large war; blanket
that she had carried to the senator's
committee room, SC that when able
he could catch map in comfort.
Mrs. White isn't the only one who
looks after senator's comfort on such
occasion. The senator smokes only
a certain kind Of cigar, never buys
one at the Capitol OF smokes those
given him. At the Games session when
Mrs. White was so thoughtful this
senator's wife appeared at the door,
and, as her husband couldn't leave &

to him a bunch of cigars she had
brought, because she knew he hadn't
any, and he wouldn't be able to stand

Not on the Bill of Fare.

Fritz is his name. Failing to succeed as
a horse car driver, he sought and found
employment as a waiter in a down town
restaurant. 1t did not take the customers
long to learn that Fritz was a green hand
at the business, and they proceeded to guy
him. Fritz stood the storm well, but the
proprietor of the place became angry, par
ticularly wheE Fritz was ordered to serve
impossible dishes. One day a solemn look
ing man told Fritz to bring him Il sirloin
steak, fried potatoes and Il cup of coffee.
Having finished that, the patron said:
Now let me have Il slice of watermelon
pie and some muskmelon tarts. Be sure
to have them hot"
Fritz hurried off to the kitchen. In a
few moments a great row was in progress
and the unlucky Fritz came flying out
into the dining room, ably propelled by the
foot of the lusty cook. He escaped into
the street.

INCIDENTAL ANGLING.

Catching IA Few While Resting to Give
Pap IA Chanee to Wait.
I had walked out upon the trunk
Of a fallen tree and cast so as to be
clear of its entangling twigs, when,
hearing a succession Of short sneeZes,
and turning in the direction whence
the sounds issued, l observed a full
grown boy, b%arefooted and cOatless,
engaged IN fishing from the rock
ledge a short distance from me. The
point l had reached through thicket
and brier was a wild, unfrequented
bend of the stream, where no sign OF
life had been visible, except here and
there the quick, restless fit of a bird
and the playful antics Of a young
squirrel, as he ambled along the zig
gag lines Of a rail fence on the Oppo-
site bank. l was therefore pleas

"Mornin, mister" he answered
pleasantly.
Your name isn't Wilkinson, is it,"
Nope, it's Brill. I'm Lie Brill"
Well" I replied, Brill is a better
name than Wilkinson; at least, it Is
more easily spoken, because there is
less Of it. How are they biting your
way, Elijah"
Only middlin peart. I've got a
few bass and some google eye and a
bachelor or two," he said, as he
raised a tempting string that made
me envious and anxious to own it for
the sake Of my reputation and the
encouragement of u Responding
co,nmissariat of the camp; but" he
continued, I'm not fishin, mister!
You see, pap, he sent me to town to
fetch a new beam for the plow, and
when I got to the cattle path as
winds through the timber to the
crick, l jest materially somehow
couldn't get past it, and lowed pap
might wait while l dropped a line in
and rested up a spell. This is not one
of my regular days to fish. Only hap

'Well-pap's waitih for it. He

sit around under the shady end of
the tool shed and wait and white

be goin, mister. Ma, she'll skin me
whole, l do reckon. She's the one as
wants the beam to get there"
Il see how it is, 'Lijah," l inter
posed; your ma runs the tavern, as
it were, and your pa is the head

That's the idee. You've got it,
mister. May be you know my ma.
No? Well, you ought to call, jest to

business on hand was Of the deepest mo-
