Coed Authoritx.-.

Congressman "before the war; were
somewhat accustomed to the exchange
of unparliamentary LAM gnage, but per-
haps no American Legislators were ever
so practiced in vituperation as the mem
bers of the much lamented, vanished
Irish parliament on College Green.
Somehow they contrived to keep on
friendly private terms while treating
one another to most picturesque abuse.
M On one occasion a member, pointing
a quivering finger across the house at
his opponent, one Thaddy Burke, con-
clnded with these woris:
"And every mimber Of the honorable
gintleman's familee Is henayth cortimpt
from the white Ivered hound that is
shivering on the fure to the painted hag
that is grinning in the gallery" ...s..
~" How did you know his sister. was in

orator sat down.

How She Served the summons.


She was bright and pretty, and she
dropped into a lawyers Office the other
day and asked for work.
"What can you doT'
Anything woman of ability can do,
and more than most men,"
"Great opinion of yourself, young
woman" said an elderly lawyer present.
"Perhaps you think you could serve this
summons"

it? Yes, will"
eff you do that you'll do something
we've all been trying to do for a week.
He's slippery fellow and his people are
all posted. However, you may try it.
You can afford to lose a little conceit," I"
and the lawyer smiled grimly.
At 10 the next morning the Office door
was opened and the bright young woman
walked in again.
Thought you'd give it up, eh? Found
him too slippery for you? Thought So"
"The paper is served" said she. It
was her turn to smile now, and she did
it. The lawyer swung round in his
chair.
"Served. How'd you do ita"
''Oh, it was simple enough. I called
at his place of business, looked around,
priced some materials and then asked if
he was in.
"'No,' said the salesman, but I can
do as WE'LL
"'I think not I said quietly. He has
always served me before, and he under
stands just what 1 want
"'Oh, in that case you might call at

An Adirondack Te,rn

Healthy summer visitors to the Adj
rondacks frequently hear term used by
the natives in describing some of their
city comrades in those delightful and
health giving regions that greatly mys-
titles them at first. The people thus re-
ferred to technically are called the
'lungers," who are generally found to
be pretty plentiful. "Lungers," pro-
nounced "lung-ers," is word that has
not as yet got into general usage outside
the range of the pine tree odors of the
northernmost part of New York state;
but its meaning and derivation are soon
perceived and compel instant admira-
tion for their simplicity and significance.
The ''lungers" of the Adirondack
regions are none other than the con-
sumptives who resort thither for the
benefit of their lung troubles, and who
form class by themselves in the eyes
Of the natives apart from the mere
hnntsmen and pleasure seekers. There
is sort Of distinction in being q lunger
! that 'naught else can give, and though
the word thus evolved by an admirable
pathological fitness seems to have d touch
of rugged brutality in it at first sight,
yet there is, after all, kindof rough
sympathy in it that is redoient of the
soil. i is - aS
AS the pulmonary knowledge of the
Adirondack people increases in minute
ness, as it doubtless will, one may ex-
pect to hear the more detailed designa-
ations Of tone lungers, /" sshalf lungers, !" :

vet been observed. New York Tribune.

Pity the Poor Drummer.

A very good looking drummer he was,
and he had succeeded in making great
impression upon the table girl at Maine
hotel. He paid strict attention to the
girl and to his dinner and his perform
ance was creditable and thorough in both
directions. But he did not eat his sweet
corn. Finally the girl said in her sweetest
tone: You must have another ear of
corn. That is cold and is not filled out. !"
"Oh, no. but she is gone.
She returned with steaming ear of
corn and then waited expectantly to see
him bury in the succulent vegetable his
pretty teeth, that he showed with such
charming grace in his smile. He ought
to have known better, but in a spirit of
bravado he responded to the mute appeal
in that waiter girls eyes and set his teeth
into the corn. The first mouthful went
all right, the second was great success,
but the third-we would that our tale
could end here, but it cannot.
At the third mouthful, as he ds.rted a
CLEAN of fond alteration at the girl, his
teeth loyalty stayed by the mang led ear
of corn for an instant, then dropped to
the floor with rattle that sounded in
his ears like the discharge of heavy ar
tillery. Worst of all, as he madly
scratched for them he couldn't find his
treasure. Finally the girl recovered
them from neighboring table, after a
lady had kindly moved her skirts aside
and revealed the truant teeth. The look
that passed between that girl and the
drummer as she handed him the teeth
had something in it that wilted the bou-
quet over which it passed.-Lewiston

nature is felt at once in Hill and he IS at
once welcomed as "a man and brother!
The South is an incubus on the forward
movement of the Union it is obstructive
when not destructive of good; it is incap-
able of patriotic beneficence in national
politics. Slavery Sas the shirt OF Nessus
to the South. The war stripped OIL the
shirt, but the South, like Hercules. con-
tinued to die slowly of blood poison.
When the South rebelled in 1861, the navi-
CATION of the Mississippi was OF inestlmaoie
value to the great West, and so the great
west girded on its fighting gear to hgnt
for the freedom of the Mississippi river.
The Mississippi and Missouri have both
lost their former consequence by the null
DUPLICATION of railroads, and unless the
Southern civilization bears better fruit
in the next generation there must be
millions at the North who will be wishing
that the Southern Confederacy had sue
ceeded and that it was engaged today in
solving for itself by its own savage. crude
methods its vexing social problems face
to face with the instructive legend, "Root
Hog or Die"
The South today stands for the incubus
of ''free silver" the sub-treasury bill; free
trade: for dishonest money; for defiled,
dismantled and defrauded ballot-box.
