Why BE Was Down on His Brother
Samuel.
There weren't but three OF US on the
depot pIatform-the man who checked
nv trunk, a well-dressed man and my
self. After bit noticed that the two
men looked almost as much alike as
twin brothers. l also noticed that the
well-dressed one evidently wanted to
speak TO the other, but was given the
cold shoulder. Ii was none OF my bush
ness, OF course, but there was mystery
about 1t to excite curiosity, and by and
by | followed the depot man into the
freight shed and carelessly inquired II
he knew the other man.
Know him! OF course do" he in
dignantly replied.
"Hs looks very much like you"
"He ought TO, as he is my brother
Sam. Consarn his pictur', but the sight
of him makes me bile overn
Family trouble, l suppose?"
"No. It's jest because Sam is the
biggest fool in these United States! We
didn't use 10 calculate in our family
that he knew enough TO chew gum.
I've actually had to go out and bring
him in when IL rained."
"WelI, he seems to be all right now.
How did he get dressed up so fineP"
"How? How?" he repeated, as he
upset a barrel of dried apples and
kicked it around. "He got dressed up
by being fool!'

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

al good Knight and brother, John
Adams. He became member of the
lodge and order October 23d, 1877, and
in the earlier days OF his lodge career,
was regular attendant at the lodge
meetings, taking an interest In the
many things pertaining 10 the work OF
the order, but owing to his business en-
gagements he was prevented of late
years from taking an active part In the
work Of the order, and not feeling so
srdently attached thereto, spokea num-
Der of times in the past three years OF
severing his connection with the order,
but owing to persuasion OF the brethren
held on, and this will doubtless prove a
blessing and benefit to his family, and

but a step to death, and to leave some
thing TO support our loved ones when
we are gone, and not to give 1t up II we
can in anyway provide the means to
sustain IL.

WASHINGTON, December 31.-There
are no closer friends in the cabinet than
Secretaries Foster and Rusk. The form
er is recovering from an illness which
came so near carrying him off that for
two or three days those in the secret
feared his death at any moment. Only
the doctor, Secretary Rusk and
Mr.. Fosters private secretary
knew the truth, which was
carefully concealed from the patient
himself and the members Of his family.
A man could not be more devoted to his
own brother than the big, patriarchal
secretary of agriculture was TO his
friend of the treasury department dur
ing this long illness. Every day and
every night he was at the sick bed; he
was as thoughtful as trained nurse, as
tender as a woman. When / heard this
pretty story of friendship my mind re-
verted to another story involving the
same men-a story of politics which has
never yet been printed.
