A good many years ago, when church
organs were regarded with much disfnvor
by many pious and intelligent people, it
was proposed to introduce one of these
dangerous inventions into q New England
meeting house, one of the pillars of which
was an old man Of Quaker blood
He was one of the most violent oppo-
nents to the plan when 1t was first propos-
ed. In fact, he expressed his views so
strongly that the person who was collect
ing money for the organ when it was at
last decided to have 1t did not venture to
call upon the old Quaker for any subscrip-
ton.
He met him on the street one day, how
ever, and was agrccably surprised when
the old man took out q SUBSTANTIAL looking
wallet and presented him with a most
generous sum to add to his collection
Why" stammered the young man, II

Thought you would care to be asked to

picion of a twinkle in his serious eyes, ''if

President CLEVELAND thinks the tariff
bill will be ready for his signature by July
10. Other democrats think it will require
more than ten days to argue away the radi-
cal differences between the original Will
son bill and the numerous senate amend
ments that have been made thereto, or to
ind by compromise some common ground
upon which both senate and house will be
willing to stand. 1t is difficult for a per-
son who has not bad experience with a
congressional conference committee to
realize the time it takes to reconcile i'm
portant differences. 1t isn't only the per-
sonal opinions of the conferees that must
be overcome. The jealousy between the
house and senate, which is as old as coll
gress, is always An important factor in the
deliberations of a conference committee.
In this case those who are disposed to be
impatient should bear in mind that the
senate amendments number more than
four hundred, each of which must be to a
certain extent discussed by the conference
committee. and the republicans on the
committee will be certain to do all they
can to retard an agreement, just as they
have unnecessarily prolonged the debate
upon the bill in the senate. although they
knew from the first. just as they do today.
that the bill would be passed.

The Man Who Hcsitatcs About One Gard II
Not Always In Doubt.
There was a big jack pot, with all its
glowing beauty of red and white and
blue chips, reposing i'll the center of the
table. 1t had been made for $50 for a
starter, and each of the five players had
sweetened four times with a SIS chip be-
fore there came pair of jacks where
with to split it open.
After the fourth deal the colonel pick
ed up his hand carelessly and glanced at
the corners Of the cards He smiled a
little and said softly, I'll bust that for
$50" The next man passed out. So did
the next, and the next, and the next.
The judge, who was the last to have a
say, had looked at his cards carefully,
and all expression of supreme disgust
had settled on his face He held the
cards by the corner and made an invol-
untary motion as if to throw them into
the discard.
The colonel's hands twitchcd ncrv-
ously. 1t looked as if it would be Il case
of showing breakers and raking in the
rich stake. The judge made another
motion, as if he were inclined to throw
up the hand. Then the colonel said,
''What are you going to do, judge
The judge went through his haHd
again. The expression of disgust de, y
ened. "Ain't afraid to play, are you"
inquired the colonel tauntingly.
No." replied the judge slowly; L
guess I'll SEQ what you are doing this
on anyhow" And he made good the
$50 opening bet
They drew cards. The colonel took
two, and the Judge, after much delibcra-
ton, decided that one was about all
he wanted The colonel bet another $50
chip, and the judge saw him and raised
him $50. The colonel came back with
another $50 raise, and tho judge laid
his hand down on the table, pulled out
roll of bills and counted off $500.
"I'll tilt that $3.50, he remarked calm
ly. The colonel gasped- He looked at
his hand and then at the great pile Of
chips and money in the middle of the
table, He rustled around and got $3.50
together and said weakly, "Woll, I'll
call you.
The judge picked his hand up and
spread it out on tho table. He had four
threes.
The colonel gasped again and showed
up three queens. "Why, you robbcr,"
he said. you had 'em all the timer
eyes" assented tho judge.
"And you made couple of motions
if you were going to throw them up"
