Drank All the whisky.

Meeting my old Seattle friend, Col. Ty-
Ter, the other days. says a writer in the
New York Press, l was reminded of his
experience with Gen. Grant In 1852 Grant,
then a lieutenant. and Rufus Ingalls,, also
lieutenant, were ordered to attend a
court martial at an outpost near Seattle.
On the way there they put up for the night
at a general store and lodging house owned
by Tyler. an enteTprising yOungster seek
ing his fortune in the Wilderness Grant
and ingalls, called for whisky, but were
in stock, and that was to be kept for the
general commanding. Tyler went 10 bed
leaving the two officers playing poker,
with coffee grains for chips. When he
came down at daylight to open the store
the empty bottle sat on the table between
Grant and ingalls,, who We're playing
poker, with quart of coffee grains scat
tered over the board. In 1872 there was a
reception in this city at the Army and
Navy Club, in Twenty-eighth street, at
which President Grant was the guest of
honor. Gen ingalls, was also present OF
course, old time stories of war and adj
venture were told. Grant turned to In
gals and said:
''Rufe, do you remember how much

Gen. ingalls, did not remember, but an
old man sitting near said quietly:

the expense of the President, who shook
hands warmly with Col. Tyler and said:

An Unwnrranted Compliment.

A Catholic priest In a neighboring town,
who recently made extensive repairs to
the interior of the church over which he
presides as pastor, recently became the
victim of a good Joke, unconsciously per-
petrated by the local painter who had the
contract to brighten up the church. says
the Philadelphia Record. 1t was a big
job, and the painter, approaching the con-
sideration shown him by the good priest
in giving him the work, resolved to show
it by doing something more than his con-
tract called for At the same time he re-
solved to do it so secretly that the priest
would come upon 1t as an agreeable sur
prise. When the work was about COM
pleted he found convenient place upon
the ceiling on which he painted the pic
ture of Bible. On this, in gilt letters.
he painted at the top, Holy Bible and
at the bottom. Repaired by Father -
The scaffolding was all removed before the
priest discovered the work intended to
please him, and now he is kept busy ex-
planning TO visiting clergymen when he
repaired the Bible, and what special re-
pairs he made to II.

in a recently published letter. delivers him
self thus on the silver question:
Men may theorize and discuss until the

whether " not two railroad locomotives
could pass one another on the same track.
Tho result satisfied him that the thing
could not be done. So Senator Bacon would
like 10 risk the entire smash-up OF our

insinuates that the thought in the letter

from Mark Twain.
1t is probable that If Senator Bacon had
given his practical experiment" a second
thought he would not have committed him
self in favor off. in view of the calamitous
results it would produce.
