Col. Fellows and Jobn Auen.

The chief JOY OF Congressman Fellows life
is game Of Boston for penny points with
Col. Joseph A. Rice tthe youngest colonel IN
the confederate army, Gen. Joe Mckibben
and Cranch MacintTre, or Gus Buell. says the
New York Press At penny points one can
hardly lose or win $40 in nights play. One
OF Mr.. telOWS closest friends in Congress is
the Mississippi story teller, John Allen. Their
wits are always shooting darts at each
other.
On one recent occasion described by Col.
Fellows friend, Louis n. Megargee. the game
was poker, - cents ante and II limit. Eel
lows laid down threeS on a raise of half a
dollar. Private Allen, OBSERVING it. e marked

NO" said Fellows, you were captured
while asleep on picket post. But you did not
escape from prison. The yankees kicked you
out of their prison in about six weeks, and
told you to go back to sour id confederacy
and do your worst. The yankees are a thrifty
race, with keen business sense. and, having
fought you for three years in the field and
discovered that it was cheaper to light you
than to feed you.

Trying to Save the Mckinley Tariff.

Trying to Save the Mckinley Tariff.
The ptrpose of the republicans is
TO save the Mckinley tariff. Their news
| papers and leaders are placing an inter
probation upon the result of the recent
elections that it viii not bear. They
pretend to think the defeat which the
democrats suffered in a number Of the
states was protest against any change
in the uariff Senator Sherman IS quoted
as saying that. in his opinion, no demo
cratic congressman from Ohio will dare
to vote for a bill reducing the tariff.
The tariff will be reduced, however,
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
republicans to prevent its reduction
The democrats in congress will not be
stopped from carrying out the
pledges the Democratic party made
to the people by republican assertions
that the tariff policy of the democrats
has been condemned by the people. They
know that the people have not condemned
it. In the national election last year the
people Endorsed it fully, and nothing has
occurred since in respect to the tariff to
make them change their minds. IN the
last national election the tariff was the
leading issue. The people knew it was,
and they voted in accordance with their
convictions.
In the campaigns preceding last Tues
days elections very little was said about
the tariff, except in Ohio There, and
there only, was the tariff issue squarely
presented. There are good reasons
for saying, however, that the
people were not influenced by the tariff
discussion. There were other matters
that controlled their choice Of candidates,
That this is true is shown by the fact the
republicans were victorious in states in
which the tariff was seldom mentioned
in the campaign speeches. If tho repub-
licans did not win the elections in New
York, Massachusetts, Iowa and New Jer-
seY on the tariff issue it is hardly proba-
bic that that issue gave them the victory
in Ohio.
The President is preparing his message
to congress, and there will be much sur
prise if he does not speak out strongly in
favor of tariff reform. The ways and
means committee is going right along
with the work of preparing a tariff bill.
The democrats have not even thought
of abandoning their purpose to
reduce the tariff. It is certain they will
not abandon it, They do not even believe
that their tariff policy had anything to
do with bringing about their defeat in the
recent elections.
Nothing would crafty the republicans
more than for the democrats TO drop the
tariff They would then say that the
democrats had lost confidence in their
tariff principles, and had failed to keep
their pledges to the people. They will
not have the opportunity to place the
democrats in position of that kind.
A tariff bill will be reported to the,
House soon after the meeting of congress
and it will be pressed to a vote with as
little delay as possible. 1t will be a bill
that will deal justly with all classes of
people, and it will meet with general
favor. There need be no fear that the
democrats, now that they have the power,
are going to show lack of confidence
in their tariff doctrine.

Thirty-tive women started from their
several homes in a Chicago suburb for
heaven on Thursday They got as far as
the Ascensionist church and there
awaited the signal from Gabriels trump
to continue the journey. They had been
informed that the signal would be given
some time during the day, and they
waited patiently, like a Savannahian
waiting for a trolley car, from early
morning until night. But the TRUMP
sounded not, and they returned home a
sadly disappointed company. Now, why
they should have believed that the
heayenward exodus would begin at Chi
cago passes all understanding.

Had Manners I'm the Use of words.

The laws of common courtesy hold in
the use Of words as well as dishes. AS
unconsciously us you turn the handle of
the pitcher in passing it should you turn
the handle of your sentence and present
your thought right side up. You would
not toss the book you are asked for across
the floor and leave your brother to pick
it up. Why toss your answer In similar
hit or miss rudeness?
1t is not rudeness of manner to which
refer, but the rudeness of not making
your sentence at least neat. The most
admirable and affectionate of persons
will fill your Cars with thousand need
less words that do but conceal their
meaning, or make some noncommittal
reply which forces yOu to repeat your
question.
A very large part of the misunder-
standings in life, with all the sin and
sorrow resultant. is traceable to this
same carelessness, this stupidity, these
insxcusably bad manners, in the use of
words.-Charlotte P. Stetson in Kate

A Theatrical Dresser.

There IS one difference between Amer
lean and European theaters as marked as
their schedule of prices and their usher
ing system, and that is in the matter of
~dressers." The European manager en-
ploys about half a dozen dressers who
act as body servants of the leading actors
in his company and a reregular employees
Of the house, like gas men, cleaners and
scene shifters. The American actor,
however, dresses himself or else hires II
man to assist him. When he does hire n
man, it is usually a fellow player who is
"doing" small parts and is glad OF the
chance to increase his $40 wages by 81
from the leading or heavy man or first
comedian.
The dresser has not only to assist in
changing his masters costume. u per-
formance requiring great expedition, but
makes repairs, folds and puts away the
clothing, packs and unpacks the trunks
and sees that the dressing table is sup
piled with paints. wigs, combs and other
needful articles. In the European thea
ters the dresser seldom or never acts,
though he is often an actor who has been
forced off from the stage by illness,
lameness or loss of voice. He is gen

The New and tho Beautiful.

THAT is the most peculiar and as
founding faculty of the mind that calls
the new, the beautiful" said Charl q
Truax. Now, just think a minute.
Look at the change in fashions. and then
you see it perfectly. The hat that you
wore last season-the one with the stiff
rim and soft crown-how nice and nobby
it looked then! Now. when you tried it
on again the other day. accidentally rum
ming across it in the locker. why, it
looked hideous, didn't it? It's impossi-
BILE to define why this is SO. You can't
say it is because the mind dislikes old
things (some minds don't) nor that all
minds love the new. the change. 1t isn't
exactly because persons dislike to be odd
or out of date. for some take great de-
light in looking strange and odd.
''Others do not wear the new things
first simply to be the first. While do
not think this sense comes from or guides
itself by any one of these influences. yet
the sum of them all goes to make up q
circle of harmony inside Of which one
would rather dwell than out. There are
q Thousand little things that the mind
coYnprehends almost unconsciously and
acts accordingly. It is this reflex action
Of brain work that makes it possible for
one to understand why we do these
things."-St Louis Globe-De1nocrat.

A Connecticut Poet.

There is a movement in Connecticut to
erect monument to the memory of the
poet, James Gates Percival. He was a
peculiar man and had all of the poets
idiosyncrasies. On one occasion he was
invited to meet a number of gentlemen
in New Haven, who were in their turn
notified that they were to have the pleas
ure of meeting the poet. He was to be,
in fact, the honored guest of the even
ing. They were all on hand, but Per-
cival did not put in an appearance. AL
lowance was made for his utter indiRer-
ence to the passing Of time, and up to
midnight he was expected.
At last, as morning drew near, deem
ing it certain that the poet had forgot
ten the invitation, the guests went home
and the host put up the bars and went
to bed. At about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing he heard some one at his front door,
went down, asked the object of the call
and found that it was Percival. The as
tonished host let the poet in, and the lat
ter blandly said that he had inferred
from what had been said that there We're
to be others present. The host told him
that the others had all gone home. The
poet expressed regret and settled him
self down for good smoke and talk,
which kept up, to his hosts embarrass-
ment, till the sun rose.-Boston Tran

General Vallejo and Fremont.

When the destiny of the province of
California hung in the balance, and Eng
land and Russia, as we'll as the United
States, eagerly held out hands for the
prize, General Vallejo unhesitatingly
gave his adherence to the stars and
stripes. Fremont doubted and impris-
oned him, but soon set him free.
One day during that imprisonment a
young American officer, doubtless a spy
sent by Fremont, rode up to the family
residence in Sonoma, and Offering to
Mrs. Vallejo an English and an Amerf-
can flag asked In Spanish, "Senora,
which of these do you prefer?''
The lady looked at him a moment as

American flag to her bosom she kissed
its folds and said: This is the flag my
husband has taught me to love. 1t is
the one he wishes to see wave over his
beloved California"
The officer smiled, and bowling grace
fully to all present took his departure.

teous American as he rode away turned

A Paradox Explained.

Why does not a man weigh pound
more Immediately after eating a pound

readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process Of mastication. de-
glutition, ETC., certain muscles are
brought into active play and the exer
else of any muscle necessitates a tempo
rary waste of Its tissues, and a certain
amount Of carbon is eliminated and
passed off during the course of the meal
This loss, however, is trifling as COM
pared with that due to respiration and
perspiration, both of which are increased
during the various operations of making
q meal.
The length OF time one may take to
consume a pound of food makes but lit
tie difference to those losses, for if it is
eaten leisurely there is but slight in
crease of respiration or perspiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both are
abnormally accelerated. Hence by the
time the pound is eaten the consumer
has lost appreciably in moisture and car
bonic acid.-Million.
