nomination for presidential elector on the
democratic ticket. and he went to the state
senate in 1886. He was then 30 years of age,
and from that time forward rose rapidly in pop
ular esteem. He was reelected to the senate in
1869. In the previous year, however, he made
his debut in the national political arena as
delegate-at-large from his state to the National
democratic conventiod at New York.
Honors fell thicker upon him and he was
elected ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS kentuckyin May,
1871, and resigned his seat in the senate to &C
cept the place. When his term expired he was
elected a presidential elector from the state-at-
large. The following yeal he was sent to con-
gress. This was the Foriy-ifth congress-. and
he served from that time with growing distinc-
ton until he was chosen speaker Of the house
OF representatives.
The congressional life of Mr.. Carlisle has been
one continuous triumph. From his advent up
on the floor of the house to the day of his cleo
ton to the speakership he was a controlling
spirit.
Mr.. Carlisle won his spurs in congress on the
Carlisle internal revenue bill in the Forty-sixth
congress. From that hour he became the rec
ogn1zed leader OF his party on the great ques-
ton of taxation-one which is less thoroughly
understood than any other question OF national
pol1ty. He was the life and soul OF the 3 per
cent. bank bill, which, under his able man
agement. was carried through the house.
The measure afterWard passed the SEN
ate, but was vetoed by President Hayes.
The correctness of the bold stand assumed by
the Kentucky statesman. that the government
had the power and ability to refund its debts at
this lower rate interest, was proved by the sub
sequent action Of Secretary Window in thus re-
funding it without any law whatever.
His elevation from the house to the senate
came as a matter of course, and his record as a
senator has been as brilliant as it was on the
floor of the DOpular branch OF congress-, He
succeeded to the seat of the gifted Senator
Beck. His selection as secretary Of the treas
ury is a fitting tribute to his personal worth and
political integrity.

SNIFklNS WENT HUNGRY,
How He Lost a Square Meal Through
Beauty In Distress.

How He Lost a Square Meal Through
Beauty In Distress.
Young Snifkins had Deer travelling
in hard luck. At least that is how he
expressed himself. He had managed
to exc out a bare living by making
sketches from time to time for an en-
terprising firm who used his drawings
to illustrate their extensive advertise
ments
But with the close of the Christmas
season poor Snifkins found his occupa-
ton gone, the firm having notified him
that his services were no longer re-
quired.
Snifkins left his room one morning
last week feeling that the last straw
had been applied. He could no longer
bear the burden. Visions of suicide by
various methods began to fit through
his brain when it suddenly occurred to
him that he was hungry. He consulted
his finances and found hat he had ex-
actly ninety cents. sAt least" he
thought, 'rll have one square meal
and them
"Why, Mr.. Snifkins! How do you do?
I'm SO glad to see you."
Mr.. Snifkins looked up at the fair
creature who had broken in upon his
~reverie. 1t was a pleasing vision. She
was petite and pretty. and more than
once had Snifkins felt his heart futter
when in her presence.
'Indeed, Miss Grace" he replied, 81
am right glad to see you. But where
are you going?" Snifkins had forgot
ten all about his intended suicide-and
his appetite.
E I'm going to a florists" replied the
dear creature, land you must come with
me. I'm going to buy some punches of
holly. We're going to decorate our
Sunday school, you know. And"-with
a bewitching smile-"youll help me
carry the holly home, won't you?'
OF course he would. He would be
only too happy. He watched her while
she was making her purchase. Then
he noticed her fumbling about her
pockets.
Glow stupid" she remarked. 81 de-
clare I've left my purse at home.
WE'LL" addressing Snifkins, 81 hate to
bother you Mr.. Snifkins, but I've for
ROtGcu NY purse. L uSco iSuty-ocVcu
cents. Ii you will"
H"Oh, certainly, with pleasure" re-
piled the young man, handing out his
last ninety cents. "Would you like
any more?"
This IS quite sufficient" she an
swered. THANK goodness mentally
circulated Mr.. Snifkins as he trudged
along by her side carrying the punches
of holly. Then he remembered how
hungry he was, and wondered whether
he would ask him to dinner. AS for
the young lady herself she RECALLED her
companion with all sorts of airy moth
ings as they walked along, and when
they had reached her home the episode
of Snifkin's eighty-seven cents had en-
tirely slipped her memory.
II am so much obliged. my dear Mr.
Snifkins," she exclaimed, relieving the
latter of his burden, as the servant, in
response to her ring had opened the
door. do come and see me some time.
1 would ask you in now, but we are
just about to dine and we are going t.
have such a wretched dinner to-day"
That was all. She had disappeared
and poor, hungry Snifkins. with hi

and went to New York to practice law. Mr..
Lamont had many offers from business men

that came from William C. Whitney and Oliver
H.Payne, with whose surface railway projects
in New York he joined his fortunes.

How a Little Homely knowledge Saved 3
Young Lady 0iuch Discomfort.
a young lady through her knowledge
of housewif,ry rather turned the tables
upon a would be jester one day and let
that individual, who was of the male
persuasion. into a little secret of CON
siderable importance to those who have
occasion to work III the kitchen as anna
teurs.
The two We're members of party Wis
iting an Adirondack camp in the Sara
mac lake region. Every one was well
acquainted, and the days passed merrily
away until a heavy rainstorm drove
the ladies and the less enthusiastic fish
ermen indoors and compelled them to
seek other forms Of amusement. The
rain continued to fall almost without
intermission for several days, and as a
means to relieve the monotony the gen
tleman already referred to proposed that
the various members of the party try
their hand at cooking the next meal.
Permission was obtained from the host,
the members of the party laughingly
agreed to the proposition, and the guide,
whose duty it was to act as cook, was for
the time sent about other business. The
gentleman acted as chef, ard with a
knowledge obtained from serving on the
house committee of a prominent New
York club proceeded to assign various
work to his aids and appointed the young
lady first vegetable cook for the express
purpose Of making her peel onions, the
odor Of which she loathed.
When thcparty adjourned to the kitch-
en- to begin preparations, a large supply Of
strong odoTod red onions was brought to
the lady, and she was requested to remove
the outer cuticle, The acting chef and the
others who had been let into the secret
made merry over the supposed discomi-
ture of the first vegetable cook, but the lat
ter smiled sweetly and uttered no protest,
Bring me a deep pan, y she said to her
helper. and when this was produced she
filled it to the brim with water. Then
she tucked up her sleeves to the elbow,
showing just the prettiest pair of arms
in the world and removing her rings set
to work pcoIng the onions under water
with q deitucss that showed how famil-
lar she Was with the work and depriv-
ing il of all its ofTensiveness.
1t was a revelation to the man, who
had looked either for vigorous protest,
or had expected to see the eyes of the
vegetable cook water from the effects of
the onion juice. The amateur dinner
was in every way 4 success, but none of
the cooks achieved a greater triumph
than the one whose practical experience
showed to the others the common sense
method OF peeling onions.-New York
Herald.
