HE HAD HEARD ENOUGH.

How Senator Palmer Fooled His Old
Friend, the Judge.
An old Republican judge from Illinois
OH his way west from New York stop
ped over in Washington long enough to
have, as he intended, little fun with
his old friend, Senator Palmer. The SEN
etor' committee room was rather full
when the judge entered, and he felt a
bit difident. Still, after clasping the
senator hand in grip of friendship,
he said, with grin:
"What do you think of the election?'
"Hey?" the senator, with his hand
behind his ear, replied. The judge,
something surprised at this, to him, the
first sign of deafness in his old friend,
said in louder tone:
81 say, what do you think of the
election?"
"Sir?" said the senator, with his
hand still behind his ear and bending
near the judge.
81 say" the judge loudly responded,
turning bit red as he saw that every
one had stopped talking to listen to
him, II say, hat-do-you-think of
he-clection-the election--the--elec.
tion?''
The senator looked panied, as he does
when he has to turn down a needy Of
fee seeker. He glanced around, as if to
read the judges question in the faces Of
those present, and then. apparently fail
ing, he turned again to the judge, and
without even SO much as a twinkle in
his eyes thrust his ear to the judges
mouth and said:
Wh-a-t?''
This drove the spirit of victorious
and gloating fun from the judges mind.
Dear me-, he said in low voice
full of sympathy and regret, 81 had no
idea that my old friend John had be.
come deaf +"
Then he shook the senator's hand and
left the room, whereupon the senator
turned to those present and winked the

The New Empress of Russia.

Russian society as distinct from the
court circle proper is not very elated
at tho czar's marriage with the German
princess. They would have preferred as
their future czarina the Princess of Mon
tenegro. To begin with, the princess
had grown up under their own eyes. She
belongs to their own nation. Her IA
TIERS name is very popular. The hero
of Dulcigno is kind of minor idol
Furthermore, the aristocracy would have
looked upon that marriage as the begin
uing of the fulfillment of the resuscitat-
ed idea of Russia for the Russians +"
What they dislike above all is the idea
of German influence becoming once more
preponderant at the Russian court They
were absolutely at peace in that respect
with regard to the now dowager czarina
The daughter of Denmark did not owe
the Germans much good will, and she
is honest enough not to disguise her

THE SONG OF A TRAMP.

The midnight stars are blazing
From out the welkin wide,
And Ter the restless river
They dance on its shimmering tide.
While homeless and friendless
wander wild and free.
! care for no one, good or bad,
And no one cares for me.
The north wind, fierce and hard with frost,
Comes whistling DER the moor.
TITS bitter as the faces
meet at every door.
The brown leaves on the oak trees
Are singing in the blast.
They seem to think of summer time
And dream Of pleasures past
But never thought of pleasure
Or happy dream have l.
The spring hath no more hope for me
Than winters midnight sky.
For then in wood or field sleep,
Or damp and loathsome cave,
And now to warmer barn sink,
A coward and a knave.
And homeless and friendless
wander wild and free.
] care for no one, good or bad,
And no one cares for me.

the cabins of the settlers were en-

belonged or not, was generally willing
to open his house for preaching. Where
regular houses were built for service,
however, the neighbOrhood was under

ON the road to refinement. "Quarterly

their daughters sat silent, for it was a
favOrite maxim in those days that

A stir in the little crowd about the
door told of the arrival of the elder
and his brother circuit riders, for the
elder was just as much 4 circuit rider
as the rest, except that his circuit was
bigger, and Il few of the nearest filed
into the church, whittier the preachers
had preceded them. The brethren
said their prayers, took their seats,
conferred among themselves in loud
whispers Is to the order of service,
and then some one struck up Il famil-
iar hymn. All joined Justify, and the
sound thereof, waited out of the open
windows and down. the hill to the

instant suspension of crop talk and Il
stampede in the direction of the meet

ended the house was filed and the reg

There was preaching in abundance,
for preaching was the main feature of
the exercises. The preaching would
hardly be acceptable in Il $1,000
church nowadays, for it often happened
that grammar and rhetoric We're con-
spicuous by their absence, but there
was always enthusiasm in any guam
tity, and also plenty of Scripture. The
old preachers of those days did not
know much about the graces of oratory,
but they did know all about the Bible,
for it was the one book that they con-
stantly read, and that they were thor
oughly c%OnverSant with from cover to
cover. A proposition was started, and
Bible texts in confirmation of it were
cited; if it could be proved from the
Bible, well and good; if not, no matter
what it was, or who stated it, 1t was
rank infidelity, and the prOpOser was
IN infidel. The nice distinctions Of the
higher criticism were unknown quanti-

nothing of the Javist, and the Elohist.
