Chandler and HiIl.

A senator must be pretty expert to run lance against Senator Chandler without himself being unhorsed and dis armed. Senator Hill tried it the other day with disastrous results
 Senator Chandler entered the debate on the resolution appointing Mir. B. R. Green to the uperintendency of the Con gressional library, which Mir Hill was opposing. MT. Hill did not relish Mir Chandeliers appearance, and rather sheer ingly said that on Wednesday the New Hampshire senator had secured some legislation on the plea that he was go- ing away But the senator has not gone, " complained MT. Hill He still remains and talks. :"
 Senator Chandler was not in the least disconcerted. It was true, he said, that he was going away, but the day was not yet over. And I cannot forget, {" he added, addressing Mir. Hill, "that the senator made contract with his constituents by which he agreed to be- come United States senator from New York, and, notwithstanding that fact, he remained as the governor of New York for a year and did not come to Washington to represent his constitu- ents ''
 MT. Chandler remarked, amid much laughter that he was really glad Mir Hill finally come to Washington, flor, !" said he, The has afforded us much amusement, and, on the whole, has benefited the public service. Pitts burg Dispatch.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
The Touch of Nature That Makes the Whole World Kin.

Whole World Kin. Two or three ladies were sitting on the steps of Walnut Hills home on one of the warm days recently. A little 2-year-old tot was running and cooing about the sidewalk in company with two or three older children. The first balmy sunshine of spring was being thoroughly enjoyed by the whole party. A truly representative specimen of the genus tramp came ambling wearily down the street. He halted when he reached the spot where the children were playing and looked curiously, if not fondly, at the 2-year-old fairy. He was reader of human nature, if he was tramp, and it needed only a glance to assure him which of the ladies on the step was the mother of the wee one. Ma am, :" he said, doffing his tattered cap and addressing the mother, ..I am a tramp now, but it was not always so. \ have seen better days-have seen the time when lived decently in my own home surrounded by children as precious to me as this little darling is to you Reverses' came to me, my little ones were taken to a charitable institution, and i'll despair and desperation I went on the road was just thinking as I came down the street how much better I would feel if I could kiss that little one-just on the cheek, ma am, just on the cheek y
 He added the latter hastily and in an apologetic tone.
 The ladies looked at each other, smiled and then seemed sorry for it.
 You may kiss her on the cheek, , tho mother said finally.
 Bending his rough face down over the faxen curls of the baby, who, strange to say, was not at all alarmed, he inn printed fervent kiss on her round, pink cheek. Then he slowly walked on down the street without again looking at the ladies'
 But they watched him in the distance, and they saw his hand go up to his eyes number of times, and when he had got so far away that he thought he was no longer observed he stood and looked long and intently at the little blue eyed baby who was still oooing and growing on the pavement
 Then the tramp passed on out of their sight and minds. Cincinnati Enquirer

handsome aboriginal pony. One morn

sent for his pony, saying that he would
ride to the soldiers home and back be-
fore breakfast. President Arthur was
tall man, and the pony being rather
short the chief executive found con-
fronting him the problem of how best
to accommodate himself to the circum-
stances. The pony, however, cut short

M/ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant forts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
tile knowledge, that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condo
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
