PATHETIC ScENE.-A pathetic scene
in the governors Office in Richmond,
yesterday was witnessed when be az

and Radford Cooper, of Montgomery
county. They are not as yet out Of
their teens, ard were sent to the peni-
Tertiary in December, 1889, to serv'
seventeen and fifteen years, respective
iy, for murder in the second degree.
These boys are first cousins. Their
mothers, old ladies, were at the door
when told that their sous were to te
set free. The mothers rushed into the
presence of the governor, and, with
tears falling down their cheeks, thanked
him for his act. Governor O'Ferrall
and all who saw this evidence of JOY
were deeply moved. One of the boy-
is consumptive. Their pardon was
generally recommended.

With an Iron Foot-Rest for
Pillow.
COPYRIGHT. 1901

The comic papers have lots of fun
with the woman who buys things for
her husband. She is not limited to the
holiday season, but runs all the year
around, like the sea bathing-suit pic
lures in Truth. She is represented as
squandering large sums of money.
have written that sort of thing myself,
and l remember distinctly now pleas
ant it was to imagine man who could
be wheedled, henpecked or otherwise
defrauded of ten-dollar bill at break
fast, dinner and supper. No woman
can do that with me-till literary wood
saving commands better price per
cord. AS matter of fact, don't be-
lieve those stories, anyway. It's my
opinion that the level-feaded man vol
unfairly permits his wife to do the buy
ing, and the other fellow, in these
grasping days, hasn't anything TO buy
with.
A woman will go into ten stores and
spend ten dollars, while man will go
into one store and spend ten dollars,
after which he will accuse his wife of
the shopping habit. 1t will be found
almost every time that the woman has
obtained the greatest amount for her

The circular had promised novel sensa-

experienced the pleasure Of sitting on

that the chair permitted great variety
Of attitudes, all for one price, decided

in each rise Of the floor are heaters
and ventilators. The air to he used in
the chamber is pumped through towers
located outside the capitol and forced
through these ventilators in the floor.
An examination of these ventilators
is sufficient to convince anyone that
most of the sickness which attacks
members comes right up through these
so-called fresh-air ducts. The gratings
which cover these ventilators are used
for various purposes. They are conven-
lent receptacles for ancient cigar
stubs, apple cores, worn-out quids OF
tobacco, mud from the shoes of con-
gressmen and hundred and one things
of more or less nauseating character.
A large proportion of the members
chew tobacco and use these ventilators
as spittoons, probably because spurt
of the brown eXpectoration splashes
more merrily over the iron grating
than in the proper receptacle. All this
filth accumulates in the air duets and
the impurities are blown up into the
nostrils of the co ngressmen. 1t is sur
prising that disease of all kinds is not
epidemic in the house. Mr.. Morse. of
Massachusetts, claims that this foul
condition of the floors and air shafts
was the cause of his continued illness
last session. II went up into Massa-
chusetts during the vacation he said,
''and recovered my health, but had
not spent single day in the house un-
til began to feel the effects of the at
mosphere. The impurities pumped up
through these ventilators are bad
enough, but when they are added to
the foul tobacco smoke in the room the
conditions become dangerous. There
was Mr.. Wright, of Pennsylvania, who
sat near me in the house. He expert
enced the same bad effects from the
smoking in the hall and the impure air
as do, and have no doubt that the
germs of disease that carried him off
entered his system right in this room. :"

slide out feet foremost. Meanwhile I
vainly besought Maude to do some
thing. She was doing her best all the
time, but the machinery would not
work as it had done in the chair mans
shop. BY great exertlon | had sue
ceeded in getting my feet well started
in the direction of freedom, when both
arms of the chair collapsed inward.
That was one of the strong points of
the chair. A child could learn to fold
it up at the first attempt. Just as the
arms fell under me Maude succeeded in
working the patent adjustable spring.
Both ends of the chair instantly sank
to the floor, leaving me supported only
by its iron arms which were just under
the small of my back. | was able to
decide almost Immediately that this
was one of the chairs combinations for
which | should have very little use in
the future. However. it had one ad-
vantage; it permitted me to roll off on
to the floor.
Perhaps the reader may imagine that
lost my temper, and said something
disagreeable about the nice present
which a thoughtful and affectionate
helpmeet had provided. Not at all.
MY dear" said |, this is a lovely
chair. When am tired of sitting in

letic club. can get all the exercise

chair. | feel better already Haven't
felt like this since l played football.
Have we any arnica in the house?'.
Maude found little arnica, only it
turned out to be ammonia in the arnica
bottle, but that didn't matter, for the
skin was all taken off in the place
where put it, so there was practically
aothing for the ammonia to do. 1t Just
simply eat its way through to the
other side of me, but that is such
,ery little distance that it isn't worth
mentioning. If any resentful feelings
we're thus engendered in my bosom.
they were all directed against the
chair. l resolved to conquer, subdue
and sit upon it.
My first attempt was directed against
the ingenious machinery by which the
chair is adjusted. This is operated by
a spring at one side. In concentrating
my mind upon this spring l speedily
discovered that it could be operated by
means of one finger, and then with any
other finger. but never with the same
finger twice, because the iron frame of
the chair shut down like pair of scis-
sors, and shipped off anything that
happened to be in its way. That is
