A Good Story About Stevens.

"a great many stories have been told
about my distinguished predecessor,
Thaddeus Stevens, whose district I have
the honor to represent, said MIR. Brosi-
us of Pennsylvania yesterday, "but here
is one that is new to me:
"Stevens was championing some bill
in congress which aroused the opposi-
tion of the combined southern members.
He made brilliant speech in favor of
it and equally brilliant speeches were
made on the other side, and the upshot
of it was that Stevens was outvoted
after very bitter and passionate parti-
san debate.
"Stevens was still boiling with disap-
pointment and bitterness when Toombs
of Georgia, in a haunting way, asked
him:
"'Well, Stevens, how do you feel
over your defeat?'
Feel, snapped back Stevens, feel?
I feel like the poor man at the rich
mans gate, who was licked by the
dogs. '"-Washington Post.

Before Whitelaw Reid became minis

his time to tho conduct of his paper,
The Tribune. Tho copy editors who put
up the headlines of stories of the day fell
into the habit of making most of them
lnterrogative-as, for instance, "Was 1t
Murder or Suicide?" or Ibid She Kill

Sign it," etc. The entire paper was
specked with Interrogation points. This

one day postal card arrived, addressed
to Mr. Reid and marked personal. 1t
read as follows: I'm getting awfully

But When They Came McIlhcray Was
Hardly a Happy Man.
McAllister McIlhenny was plunged in
thought, but he was safe, for it WASH t
over his head.
Only over his heart.
He was revolving in his mind what
to say to the beautiful Brooklyn belle he
had loved lust and was still loving.
In other words. MoAllister McIlhenpy
had wheels-emotional wheels.
After long time he shook himself
fiercely and Kissed between his firm set
teeth:
She shall be mine. swear it."
Then he set forth ON his hearts jour
ney, aud ere long he was seated beside
her ON an elegantly upholstered fauteuil.
Miss Dolly" he said after the usual
meteorological references had been mu-
tually cited, as is the custom when two
persons meet, II love you with love
that passes Understandings
She looked down at his feet and real
lied how great his love must be.
"Why, Mr.. McIlhenny," she exclaim
ed twitteringly as bird might twitter.
YES, Miss Dolly-dear Miss Dolly
dear Dolly-darling Dolly" he went on
IN succession of emotional explosions,
and you can set my throbbing heart
forever at rest if you will"
How, Mr.. McIlhenny?" she MUIR
INJURED
BY answering question with one
little word-only one."
"Oh, how funny, Mr.. McIlhenny
What is the question:
will you be mine, dearest?"
1t was very sudden and Dolly was
scarcely expecting it, but she didn't lose
her head.
She merely dropped it as maidens do
when they are proposed to.
And will one little word answer SO
important question:" she asked al
most TREMENDOUSLY. McAllister McIlhen-
ny was creature of impulse. but he did
not intend to let his impetuosity ruin
his cause if he could prevent such a
catastrophe. He might unwittingly have
given an opportunity to her to say "No, {"
but he was too careful for that.
So he hedged.
only one little word, darling" he
Whispered as he slipped his hand over
to take hers, 'but there must be three
letters in it..
The beautiful belle hesitated for an
instant. Then there came to her soft
blue eyes look of seraphio triumph. a
melting as of all the grosser elements
into the ethereal soul of saint, the
glorified submission of woman's heart
to the blissful tyranny of its master.
AT least that was the way it struck
McAllister McIlhenny as lie held out
his eager, pleading hands to her.
Nit" she said, and McAllister Nc
Ilhenny cursed every three lettered
word i'll the English language. Chicago
