LET US BE HONEST.

The following extracts are from the
speech of Hon. Thomas Fitch to the
Silver Convention, held in Carson
City, May 20, 1890:
Let us be honest with each other
here at home, and we will be stronger
for it at home and abroad. Grover
Cleveland used the Presidency to
crush the rising free coinage senti-
ment in the Democratic party, and
Benjamin Harrison is using all the
power of the White House to crush
the growing free coinage sentiment #
the Republican party. Both the Presi-
dent and his predecessor have been
recreant to the promise Of their plat.
forms and the interests of the toilers
Of the land. Both have sought to
perpetuate false, a cruel and en-
slaving system Of finance, and both
ought to hear from tie West and the
South In way that should make
them and their Wall Street support

have bursteJ from the reservoir

The Humor,st in Congress.

"Once a man establishes a reputa-
ito . as a wit or a humorist it clings
to him for life," said Representative
Charles E. Hooker. ".Whenever he
gets up to speak, people expect to
hearsomethingfunny. Proctor Knott,
you remember, had such a reputa-
ton, mainly on account of his famous
Duluth speech. I remember, on one
occasion, he began a speech in the
House in his usual humorous vein. In
a moment every member on the floor
crowded around him. After he had
spoken about five minutes, he said:
But now, Mr.. Speaker, to discuss this
bill acknowledgements did not al
low him to finish the sentence, but
broke for the cloak rooms. They did
not want to hear him talk seriously.
My friend John Allen is a humorist
also, but he uses his humor to GOOD
advantage. He makes it tell in it's
effect on the opposition. 1t has often
been said, you know, that Sunset Cox
handicapped his political aspirations
with his humor'"-Washington Post.

Not Much Better

If one makes a slip of the tongue,
through embarrassment or haste, tits
generally best to let it go, rather than
call attention to what might otherwise
been almost unnoticed.
A young clergyman, newly settled
over a large parish, had occasional
fits of embarrassment when standing
before his congregation.
One Sunday, after reading a notice
of a Woman's Missionary Meeting to
be held in the cnaple a few days later,
he endeavored to add a special appeal
of his own for a large attendance.
After stating that it was to be a
meeting of great interest and import
tance, he said, 1--WE, the women ofthis
congregation"
With a flushed countenance, he
stopped and retraced his steps.
awe, who are the women of this
congregation" he began.
This was no better, and he beat q
blushing retreat by saying, "Let US
sing thefour hundred and frsthymn."

He Rather Liked the Family.

A good story is told in Missouri at
the expense of its once famous gov-
ernor, Claiborne F. jackson. Before
lie solved the enigma OF love-lock, he
had married five sisters!-in reason
able lapses OF consecutlveness, as q
matter of decency. After one wife had
been lost and appropriately mourned
he espoused another, and he kept his
counting within a narrow circle OF his
W relatives, for he rather liked the
family. Some OF his predictions
were widows ere he again transformed
them from Niobes into willing, if not
blushing brides, but it was all one to
the conquering Benedict.
The %antiquated father OF these
girls was almost deaf, and when the
governor went to this o~ctogenarian
to ask for his surviving daughter
the following conversation en-
sued:--
81 want Lizzie!"
"Eh?"
81 want You to let me have Eliza
beth!''
"Oh,. you want Lizzie, do you?
What for?"
For my wife,"
"For life?"
81 want-to-marry-her!"
ooh, yes! just so! l hear you,
boy"
"I'm precious glad you do" mutter-
ed the governor.
"Well," slowly responded the vet
eran, you needn't holler so that the
whole neighborhood knows 1t! Yes;
you can have her. You've got 'em ali
now, my lad; but for goodness sake,
if anything happens to that ere poor,
misguided gal, don't come and ask me
for the old woman!"
Jackson solemnly promised that he
eve would.

THE MAN OF MEMORY.

the Crowd and Lost 1t.
1t was the day after the bomb
throwing tragedy. Agroup of young
men were talking about the affair in a
downtown Office.
"It's a wonder that crazy building
didn't come tumbling down over their
heads" said one of thegroup. "Ihave
often noticed that No. II Broadway
was a tlimsy old structure"
"How do you happen to know so
much about No. II Broadway" ask
ed another young man who was read
ing law. "You have never worked
there, have you?"
ooh, no." answered the first speak
er, carelessly. "I've noticed what kind
OF a building it was in passing, just as
! have noticed hundreds OF buildings
all over the city,"
"Do you mean to tell me-" said the
youth OF legal mind, chat you a
identity hundreds of buildings in this
city by their street numbers?"
"Most decidedly I do. So can my
body who goes about with his eyes
OPEN" and the man with the memory
a his fingers through his hair after
the II OF a lightning calculator.
/ well, am ready to bet a dinner
for the crowd that you can't name
two hundred buildings in the city of
New York and give their street num-
bers."
"Pshaw!" was the contemptuous
answer 81 could name q thousand.
I'll take your bet"
The bet was accordingly made on
these conditions-two hundred ad-
dresses to be given from memory.
One Of the group, with pencil and pa
per, began to take down the names,
while the others looked on compla-
Gently. However it came out they
were sur of a dinner.
For the first ten minutes the youth
with the memory reeled off add resses
as fast as his friend could write them
down. He got up to twenty without
any difficulty and then pauses began
to occur between the names. He
scratched his head and frowned ard
gave various other indications of Ger
ebral activity, but still the names
came slowly. He gave the addresses
OF all the members of his family, that
of all the business friends he could
think of, then of his tailor and boot
maker, even his pawnbroker, and
altogether they hardly added twenty
to the list.
Finally, in desperation, he began to
cali off the numbers of his best girls,
to the great amusement of the boys.
"You will have to brace up, old
man." said the referee. You have
only got up to forty-seven.'
"And the two hundred mark is a
long way off STILL" chuckled the
young man who was studying law.
~ always did observe that No. Il
Broadway was a tlimsy structure"
said one OF the crowd sarcastical-
ly.
Everybody snikered while the man
with the memory began to ring
changes on the people to whom he
owed money, which showed the strain
he vas laboring under.
Finally, at intervals of several min
utes, he added a Harlem doctor a
couple Of school teachers, a saloon
keeper on Eight street, a faro bank
further up town and a man down on
Bowery who rented out dress suits for
the evening.
.'That makes ffty-fve," said the
referee, while the man with the mem
orv onlnod down h;o ort;Goo+;o 81
owned that he had lost.
On the evening of the following pay
day these young gentlemen ate and
drank themselves into a state of mat
erial bliss and the man with the
memory paid the bill.-New York

Painless Dentistry.

Painless Dentistry.
Many years ago, writes a Western
correspondent of the Youths Com
panion, a group of cowboys rode into
the frontier town of Prairieyille. and
while canterine down the principal
village street came to a sign-"Pain-
less Dentist" They emptied the con-
tents of their revolvess into it, and
then one of the company dismounted
and announced his intention to 90 in
and get a SORE tooth attended to.
"-And don't pay no fancy price for
it, NEITHER" lie muttere6, as he walked
noisily into the office.
The dentist was a quiet-lcoline
young man Of twenty-five.
"See here!!" shouted the cowboy, as
he advanced toward the chair. 81

any heightened prices charged either"
He threw himself into the chair,
hitched his belt around in front of
him, laid his revolver across his Ian
and told the dentist that if he hurt
HIM he would shoot the top of his
head off.
Very WE'LL" replied the dentist,
with a slight laugh; "then you must
take the gas, for this is a bad tooth
and will give trouble"
The cowboy swore, but finally yield
ed,and with q partingt threat submitted
to the respiration, and presently was
insensible.
With great skill the man of the tor.
cteps pulled the tooth, and then. before
his customer regained consciousness,
ne securely tied him hand and foot to
the chair, viii. h was firmly screwed
to the floor. Then taking the bully's
revolver out of his belt, the dentist

he was sensible was the dentist point.

The dentist finally cut his bonds on
condition that his customer should
restore the riddled sign outside the
Office. And after paying five dollars
for the extracted. tooth, which the
dentist grimly declared to be the
