places OF amusement These boys arc
not appointed to serve four years rs in
the case with the little fellows in the
senate, but depend for the retention Of
their places upon the political situation.
Hence it is not at all surprising that
they should be pretty thoroughly con-
versant with all the great political
issues. Not that they would change
places with the senate pages. Oh, no.
For them they express the profcrndest
contempt and prefer to identify them
selves with some political party, shar.
ing the spoils in the shape of govern
ment positions, when there are any, and
retiring into oblivion when their party
is defeated, only to reappear when they
shall once more be on top.
In their way, too, these boys are en-
bryo sports. The many unused vaults
in the terrace, the new part of the
building, furnish excellent athletic club
rooms in which are held all manner Of
games, olympic and otherwise. Every
session these vaults are the scenes Of

mark that all the pages should wear
uniforms during the coming session.
That was all, but the gentleman who
overheard it Immediately spread the re-
port that the unfortunate boys were to
be attired in green velvet jackets, red
plush trousers, black stockings and
buckled clippers, and to crown all, a
scarlet turban la Turk. The boys are
not usually very gullible set, but upon
this occasion they accepted as true
every word uttered by their informant,
and many were the indignation meet
ings held with view to devising some
means by which the obnoxious edict
might be repealed. However, there was
no real cause for alarm, as the. much
feared uniform consisted only OF a
neatly-atting, bluish-gray cutaway
coat and pair of short trousers.

self and my mission and I did not know
what could do until at last a thought
struck me that the horse was black
one and that black was the color Of
mourning in America. When entered
the palace the first thing the secretary
asked me was as to how the minister
and myself liked the horses, and re-
piled that they were the finest horses
that we had ever seen, and that our
president would feel very proud and
would be delighted with the gift. I
then went on to praise the horses, and
especially the black one, which said
was magnificent in every respect, but
here stopped, and the secretary anx.
iously asked: But what? Is there any
thing the matter with the horse?
"'No,' said l, but you know black is
the color of mourning in the United
States. 1t means death with us, and
just wondered whether such gift
might not be considered ominous If sent
by the sultan. The secretary saw the
point at Gpce, he spoke to the sultan,
and was thanked for my suggestion,
and the hose was changed for one of
another color and as sound as dollar" "

was not merely the loss of the benedic-
tion and Coronation, great as that dis
appointment was; but the Incident so
clearly disclosed her sad, isolated, mo-
notonous life.
By supper time, however, she had re-
gained her natural, brave content, and
as all the dodgers returned in good
humor from their various Sunday re-
laXations, she was led TO relate with
spirit her experience OF the day.
Now it chanced that Nv and Mrs
Gowell were, like the most of us, sell
fish only fCom laziness and careless
ness. When opportunity for a kindness
was pressed upon them they were warm
of heart. And Mrs Snively's comicaNy
/ sad experience set them to thinking to
such good purpose that they got all the
| dodgers to agree to cold lunch, instead
of the usual elaborate Sunday dinner,
and quite electrified Mrs Snively by
saying to her al supper the next Satur-
day:
1--WE want you to go TO church with
us tomorrow, Mrs. Snively, and Wen
all be we'll pleased with a cold late
lunch. Our carriage will call for us at

So the black silk came out from the
trunk, the placid old face found itself
inside Sunday bonnet once more, the
worn hands proudly dropped ten-cent
piece into the contribution box, and
strangely enough, the cracked voice
got chance TO quaver through "Coro

with the exception of the Gowells, upor

THE RECOLLECTION MULE.

He Dodged 50 Many shells During tho
War That He Never Forgot Thorn.
A faded out old mule which looked to
be fifty years old came crawling down
the dusty street before shacllety old
wagon, in which was seated a colored
man. AS he drove up to the depot
platform and stopped inquired: "...
"Well, uncle, suppose you'd sell that
mule for money!"
''How much, sah?" he asked as he
looked up.
"What do you think he's worth?"
"Wall, sab, I reckon de cash value Of

stepped out and picked up a cobble-
stone and stood behind the wagon. The
mule was leaning against the platform
and apparently sound asleep. The Ne
gro puckered up his mouth and uttered
a droning, moaning sound, like the
flight of shell, and gradually brought
it closer and closer until an old soldier
would have been deceived. Then he
heaved the stone against the platform
with great bang and cried out:
"Fo' de Lawd, Erastus, but dem
Yankees has dun got de range agin-
look out"
The mule had priclsed up his ears at
the first sound. As the imaginary shell
came nearer and nearer he began to
pick up his feet and exhibit great ex-
element, and the words of the Negro
were not vet out of his mouth when
Erastus made break. He went Off
like cyclone, struck a post and ripped
two wheels off the wagon, and after
straight run of eighty rods up the
street with the wreck turned corner

HOW GRANT GOT A FAST HORSE.
Beaten by Butchers Animal-The Gift
OF the Sultan.

Beaten by a Butchers Animal-The Gift
of the sultan.
Next to Washington, Grant had per-
haps the best horses of any other presi-
dent, and one of the best horses he
drove was secured right here at the
capital. His name was Butcher Boy,
and Grant named him this from the cir
cumstances attending his purchase. He
was out driving one day while he was
president and he tried to pass butch
ers cart, but though he had fast horse,
the cart kept in advance of him, and he
saw that the horse which pulled it was
good one. He kept after the cart un-
til it got into Washington and followed
it to it's stand near the market and
marked the place at which the driver
stopped. He then sent man to buy
a horse and he got small amount, but
it turned out to be fast horse and a
good one.
Speaking of Grant, one of his closest
friends here at Washington was Gen.
Ed Beale and it was 10 Gen. Beale that
he gave two of the horses which We're
sent him from Turkey by the sultan,
and | think these are now on Gen.
Beale's farm near Washington. While
| was in Turkey few years ago l had
a chat with the dragoman of our lega-
tion at Constantinople and he told me a
queer story of the selection of these
horses by the sultan. The sultan had
sent the instruction that they should be
sent to President Grant as a gift from
him, and the minister had, IN company
with this dragoman tried them. One
was magnificent jet-black stallion
but in riding him tho minister thought
he discovered fault and he insisted
that the dragoman should take him
back to the sultan and ask him to
send a better horse. The dragoman re
piled that he could not do this; the
horses were gift, and he used ths
proverb about mot looking gift horse
in the mouth" But the minister in
sisted, and the dragoman went to thu
sultan and asked for an audience. Ill
is, by the way, man of fine sensibili
ties, and as an interpreter for the lega
ton he is the most important of all mel
to Americans in Turkey. Said he u
me: 81 felt veyy much ashamed of my

WHAT THE AUTHOR WANTED.

A Stirring Description of War; but the Vet
eran Couldn't Accommodate Him.
The great general, covered with lau-
rels and other less desirable things, in
cident to camp life, had just returned
from the wars. He had heard the
plaudits and huzzahs of thousands of
grateful citizens, and had strained his
neck and thinker trying to make q
speech to them. For the first time in
weeks he had slept in clean and COM
Portable bed, far from the alarms and
uncertainties of the tented field He
had eaten civilized breakfast ut a
quiet and well behaved table with
white cloth on it, and was now sitting
in his room at the hotel figuring out
how long it would be before some paper
holding opposition tariff views would
call him a padded patriot with political
proclivities. He was just preparing to
heave sigh over the prospect when
the bellboy entered with card.
SHOW the gentleman up" said the
hero.
A few moments later dapper little
gentleman entered the room, greeted
the warrior somewhat effusively, ac-
ceptcd the protfered cigar and began.
"You have been through some terri
BILE scenes, general?" %
"Well, y-e-e-s, if you look at it that
way"
"Seen men falling all around youP"

never stopped to look"
Heard the scream of shells and the
hum of flying shot?"
Occasionally"
Capital, capital" exclaimed the lit
tie man. Now, general, I'll tell You
what want. You see, am writing a
realistic military novel, and it would
be worth everything to me if you'd
describe your feelings on sueh occa-
sions-the wild, tumultuous rush or
conflicting emotions, the surgin,
thoughts that filled the crowded brain,
the glorious inspiration that lifted You
above yourself and your surroundings,
that made you superior to yourself and
added another immortal name to the
roll of fame" faIH N1

horse, clapping his hands, "you'll do a
