She takes a pair Of dumb BELLS and she

All pulley weights she handles, and she

Then she turns a double somersault,

For she's very much in earnest as She

She knows her arm is bigger and her

She strikes a sparring attitude, and

Then says: "Now look at me and see

1t almost makes me laugh to see the

It seems so very funny that a young

Should like athletics better than the

But her eyes are all the brighter and

And her cheeks are just the color OF the

How The People Are PIundered.

We are just in receipt of the re-
ports of the clerks of the Senate and
House tor the fiscal year 1894 IN
these reports is found a hi story of
profigacy and plumber that should
receive the severest condemnation
When we take into consideration
with the personal peculatlons TIE
plain fact of 4-Cent cotton and -
cent wheat, we are led to believe that
the people ought to rise up and drive
out this nest of plundering poi
ticians.
To begin with, the officers and em
ployes of the House cost annually
$4l5, 200. The clerk hire of mem
bers and delegates is put down a
1886, 900; contingent fund, newspa-
pers. and stationery. S9S 900; coli.
$ll 200; furniture and repairs, $il,-
900; folding room, $2l, 900; contn-
gent fund and miscellaneous SO. go.
The above with the Capitol polre
and other expenditures amount in
the aggregate to $930,930 !. Neatly
$1,000, 900 IS annually expended IN
aside from paying each a salary of
s.. 900.
We will now take up some of te
items which enter into this large Ak
penditure. The first item that 1T
tracts attention Is the 500 paid cat
monthly for Speaker Crisp's sec:e-
tarles. First comes Mr.. Watermsu,
who does all the work at a monthly
salary of Sl17. He is followed by
one Of the family for ornament, nr.
c. R. Crisp, at the same price. The
two are supplemented by the rea
gem Of the collection, Mr. E. "
Barrett, at 1874, whose only business
is to wear a clawhammer coat OF
state occasions. These clerks have
| messenger to wait on them at $S4
In this list is included the Hous
chaplain az the least salary of all. So
IF it is not worth more than $75 pc
month to pray for such an aggrega
ton Of corruption as he does We al
not proper Judge of mental efforts
We find as one of the House Off rer
locksmlth at $l17 per month. Jus
what his duties are we have so ia
been unable to find out On pag
12l We begin to strike sit rich" Her
we find 1882 paid out for card-cases
pocketbooks, com binations I'VE don
know what they are, but they com
high, autograph albums, visitin
cards, and more pocke tbooks. Thi
is followed on page 10 with bill q
$4OS for some more pocketbook:
gold pens and holders, card-cases an
fourteen dozen shears. Or page II
we find S3ll more paid out for fv
dozen knives, twelve cases cutlery
and twenty four cases of scissor:
On page 100 We again strike a bi
for $155 for card eases, pocketbooki
and some lap ia blets. But on pag
1872 We find bill Of 81 1868 for sixt,
one dozen pocket knives. Now sixt,
one dozen pocket knives is 1872, whic

mains in sheet and buried them IN
