Senator Shermau's wife recently told a
good story. Mrs Sherman invariably
goes to market several times a week. SO
do other senators wives, and sometimes
great statesman goes along just for
amusement, or from a sense Of duty
Mrs. Sherman had watched Senator
Manderson, of Nebraska, escorting his
wife through the market, even occasion
ally Juggling the provision basket. Mrs.
Sherman thought her husband might
show her the same attention, and quoted
Mr.. Manderson to him till in simple de-
spair Mr.. Sherman consented to be an
nexed on market day.
He went the whole rope and even car
ried the basket, but Mrs. Sherman has
never mentioned market" to him since.
He lost the basket, and she lost him for
time, and when the great financier was
safe in his own home he announced in
big type that Senator Manderson and all
the rest of both houses might 90 to mar
ket every day of their lives, but, as for
him, John Sherman, as long as he pos
sessed his mental faculties, he would
never be persuaded into going again.

Odors as Motors.

1t is reported that ammonia Is to fur
nish the coming street. car motor. Now
the chemists may not admit it, but it is
evident enough to layman that ammonia
is Just smell. A big, strong smell, to be
sure, and able to work, but still a smell.
1t is not immensely clever to have har-
messed so elusive thing and made go ON
wheels 1t is Natures own way. When
there is an able-bodied effiuvium any
where it is a sure sign that she is busy
with something, and has provided energy
which very likely needs supervision
Nature is enormously efiectual, but she
will not work for man unless he makes
her. She discriminates, but her point OF
view is not mans. She is wonderful
scavenger, but she is just as ready to car
ry off live baby as dead horse
Everybody knows her method of clean
ing the streets. The more colossal the
ordor, the harder she is at it. 1t is not
our way, or ought not to be if it is. 1t
is glad throught that now that some
one has found out how to put smells to
work we may hope that presently the
spring filth in city streets can just be
geared to a proper apparatus and made
to carry itself away. Soon it may come
to pass that the farmers will plough their
land with smell of the phosphates they
use to fertilize it, and the musk that the
girl wears on her hani lerchief at the
theatre will be taught to hold her hat,
instead of being, as now, mere idle van
ity and au offence to her neighbor.-

The DaLu Vas Alln0yed.

Another story was told at the club the
other night about prominent spread
eagle speaker in the last campaign. 1t
seems that he went down to Lynn 10
make an address in favor Of Cleveland.
During the speech he got warmed up and
began to saw the air with dramatic force.
Suddenly from the the front Of the hall
came a long, infantile wall. The speak
er continued speaking and the baby kept
on crying. The mother tried in vain to
stop the noise, but to no purpose. Then
the speaker looked down upon the moth
er and child and gave grand flourish.
"My dear madam" he said, with bis
hand upon his breast, "why not let the
dear baby cry. He'll soon stop. He
isn't annoying me in the least"
The mother gave a glance upward,
then looked at the wailing child.
"Oh, it isn't that, sir. It's you that's
annoying the baby."-BOdon Budget.

POETR r..
LINES.

Oh to be out in the green fields
Under the sky's soft blue;
Out in the daisy-starred meadows
Strolling with you;
Forgotten the past. with its heartaches,
Forgotten to-day with its pains
Lost is all else in the yearning to be
With you again.
Fever-toSsed, thirsting. burning,
Aching and throbbing with pain,
lie and look out at the sunshine,
Longing in vain
For breath of the sweet briars' fragrance,
The scent of the new mown hay,
The lowing herd and the tinkling bells
Over the way.
The hum of the bees in the clover,
The brook where the shadows fall,
The musical trill OF the mocking bird,
And more than all, :,
For the touch of your hand on my forehead
The sound of your laughter gay
'Tis all like fevered dream, dear,
Since that June day
When you lay at my feet as my fingers
PLAYED with the curls on your brow
Twas heaven out there in the sunshine
What is it now?
DarkneSs-the sweet dream ended;
Both have awakened, and yet
/ wonder if you remember still,
Or quite forget.
Oh could we two be lying,
flushed in the last long sleep,
Where the daisies, bending above us,
Their virgils keep;
Naught to awake our slumber,
Nothing to put us apart;
Together at last, where forever
'Tis heart to heart.

Worlds Fair Commissioner Butt Takes
Pity on Hungry Man.

Commissioner James ID. Butt of West
Virginia learned last night new trick
of confidence men to secure money from
the unsuspecting, but he was so cleverly
fooled that he doesn't regret the loss OF
his money. 1t happened this way;
Commissioners Butt, Holiday, Massey,
aud Others were sitting in the rotunda of
the Palmer House discussing Worlds
Fair matters when they observed tall,
lean, hungry-looking man in shabby at
tire standing against one of the gilded
pillars on the opposite side of the lobby.
Suddenly they saw him drop to the floor
as if dead. They rushed forward TO the
fallen man as did Clerk Cunningham
and number of guests. As they closed
about him an outsider rushed up, felt the
mans scrubbed some ointment on his
forehead, and after few minutes the
person whom all believed to be dead
slowly revived. Of course all were
guessing as to the strangers ailment,
when the man with the ointment an
nounced
Gentlemen, this man is suffering from
chronic starvation. In my experience of
twenty-five years as physician | have
handled at least fifty cases similar to this.
There is nothing in the world the matter
with him except that he is starving"
This speech took place after the help
less man had been carried across the lob
by to a chair, on which he stupidity sat
slowly recovering. When the alleged
physician made his statement Commits
sioner Butt broke in:
"That can't be, for he told me mo-
ment ago that he had had his supper"
"It's so, nevertheless" answered the
ointment man sagely, "because | have
treated cases just like this. He may
have had his supper, but he didn't have
what was necessary. What he needs is
beefsteak.
Commissioner Butt is sympathetic
man, and no one else coming to the res
cue he said
"Well, if beefsteak is all the man
needs he shall have it." And thereupon
the West Virginia Commissioner drew a
silver dollar from his pocket and gave it
to the forlorn-looking man affected with
chronic starvation. With unexpected
sprightliness the poor fellow rose from
the chair, grasped the arm of his confed-
crate, sauntered lightly out of the hotel
and down the street, while Mr.. Butt en-
joyed the laugh of his fellow.Commission-
ers. After it was all over each one could
figure out how the man could have fallen
with such skill as to strike the hard floor
with his shoulders instead of his head.
"That was the most beautiful piece Of
acting have ever witnessed" said MIR.
Butt. "He fooled us all, and / suppose
he will play the same trick at the other
leading hotels. He had every reason to
believe that he would secure So instead
of 81 in the crowd such as surrounded
him.-(hicago Tribune.

A Texas gentleman went out fishing
one day. He had a nice lunch fixed up.
but upon arriving at the fishing place he

the roadside under a tree picking his

Jimmie-About 5000.
"Why. Jimmie, I'm surprised. There
isn't another scholar in the class who
would not have given correct answer"
"There amt one OF them that knows
anything about it. The horse kicked a
800 setter to death. He smashed new
buggy SO the maker didn't know it. He

WILLIAM FLICKER,s VOICE.
IL Was Rather Loud, but at One Time
Very Useful.

"One of the most singular men | ever
knew" said wealthy, railroad circus
man "was canvasmar in the first
show | ever owned. His name was Bill
Flicker, aud his singularity lay in his
voice he was the loudest talker | ever
knew. He disturbed everybody when he
talked, and if he talked all night he al
ways woke up the animals. This once
came very near getting us into serious
trouble.
The giraffe one day bit at little child
who had approached too near his cage,
and he never would have done this in the
world if he had not been made irritable
by being kept awake nights hearing Bill
talk. There were times when we thought
we would have to get rid of Bill, but he
was good-hearted man, and he did twice
as much work rs anybody else, and so We
kept him, and the time came when we
were very glad we did.
"Our steam calliope, one Of the first
ever used, was a great attraction. We
always billed it very strong as leading
feature of the street parade, and it pleas
ed the people immensely. We were at
that time in the far West. In those days
there was in every far Western town a
considerable number of intensely emo
tional people, always sure to make a
great row if things didn't 60 to please
them. While we were in one Of these
towns our calliope broke down, and the
engineer was unable to repair it in time.
We dragged it in the procession, but
the people were so enraged at not hearing
it play that they shot the horses. At the
next town the calliope was still out Of re.
pair, and we expected that the people
there would wreck the show, but at the
last moment, just as the parade was about
to start, Bill Flicker stepped forward and
said:
""Colonel, I'll be the calliope""
"They took the insides out of the CALI
ope and put Bill in. The player took
his place and worked the keys, and Bill
talked.
"After that nobody ever thought Of
discharging Bill Flicker. He disturbed
the animals, but he had saved the circus"

Cheerfulness can become habit, and
habits sometimes help us over hard places.
A cheerful heart seeth cheerful things.
A lady and a gentleman were in a
timber yard situated by dirty, foul
smelling river.
The lady said : "How good the pine
boards smell !"
"Pine boards" exclaimed the gentle
man. "Just smell this foul river"
mo, thank you," the lady replied |;
~ prefer to smell the pine boards"
And she was right. If she, or we. can
carry this principle through our entire
living, we shall have the cheerful heart,
the cheerful voice and cheerful face.
There is in some houses an unconscious
atmosphere of domestic and social ozone
which brighteus everybody.
