Of tho last house, was exceedingly popular
personally among the members OF all par.
ties and crecds. He made "a hot contest
for the place and filed It to the satisfao-
ton of everybody after he had won 1t.
He Is somewhat of wag and can enjoy n
joke as mush as any layman. The Rev.
Mr.. Bagby, with but a single exception,
always cut his invocations short at the
opening of tho house each morning. and
the reason for this one long prayer has
just leaked out.
One morning during the last session the
clerks at tho speakers desk were unable
to find the house journal, without the
reading of which the business of the house
could not be begun. The chaplain had bo.
gun his prayer and was drifting along,
when the reading clerk touched him on
the arm and In an excited whisper said:
keep on with the prayer until we find
the journal We have lost it,
The chaplain continued, and q few sec.
onds later the reading clerk again nudged
him, requesting that he continue longer,
as they were still unable to find the miss
ing volume
"Don't stop until tell you, he said.
keep this thing up, so that we don't got
into n scrape We will find IL In min
ute.
The preacher continued his prayer, and
the surprise of tho members grew to won
der rs they listened to tho long continued
invocation of the Rev. Mr.. Bagby.
Finally the missing book was found,
and the clerk nudgcd tho chaplain, who
brought his lengthy prayer 10 a somewhat
abrupt end. --Minneapolis Journal.

Col. Henry Stone, who died in Boston
last Saturday, was the right hand man of
John A. Poor in the editorship of The
State of Maine" daily journal in Port
land in the early flfties and later. AS Il
young newspaper man, he was a rare COM
bination of education and practical en-
ergy. His professional contemporaries in
Portland remember him for his scoops"
as reporter. He served under Major
General George H. Thomas in that At
lanta campaign.
"If one wants to realize the difference
between new fashioned and old fashioned
paper, says Register of Deeds Bowler of
Penobscot, ''all he need do is to attempt
erasure upon leaf of one of our old
record books. The paper is yellow with
time but the ink is still distinct and clear.
There is no gloss nor sizing. Attempt to
erase word written on such paper and
you have got to make hole in the leaf,
for the Ink penetrates into the very fibre.
1t drinks 1t up like blotting pad But
our new books are made of paper covered
with thick gloss, into which ink will
scarcely penetrate at all. Write word
lightly on it and you can erase it almost
without breaking the surface of the paper.
Ink may be durable on it and last forever,
but the chances are in favor of the old
fashioned pages that absorbed the ink,

plumage, his little breast and aeck
laced with silver. is distant 1000 miles

fact than did the Irish squire who
lived twelve miles from lemon.

but to settle on the bosom OF prcnt
