NOW He WON.


The Stroke d Genius That Gave . wen
known Reading caerk Hh Place.
One Of the interesting incidents at the
opening session Of new co6gress il the
selection Of the reading clerk Of the
house. Che reading clerk is appointed
by the clerk of the house. Init candidates
for the place mnst take part in q COM
petitive speaking contest" before the
house. John A. Reeve, who was read
ing clerk during Harrison's administra-
tion, was a politician from Cairo, Ills. !,
and one Of the best known characters in
Washington at the time. Reeve tells this
story:
II didn't suppose had any show for
the place when it came to the test, !" said
he. ''for most Of the candidates were
college men. and some were elocution-
lists. while the only elocution had ever
practiced was calling hogs in southern
Illinois, though I had been able to get
mp in a political meeting and make the
fellows on the back seat hear me; SO I
thought would go into this contest
anyhow and do my best in nv own
way. But you ought to have heard those
elocutionists: The way they rolled their
RS and Kissed their SIS and said 'ah' and
'l-l was caution! Some Of them ilidn' t
talk like human beings and others had
voices SO rich and melodious You
couldn't hear them 40 feet away.
''By the time my turn came I had
sized up the hall and knew just about
where to throw my voice, and deter
mined to make myself heard if I did
nothing else. Each candidate had re.
ceived a copy Of house bill to read. 1
noticed that the other fellows started
ont this way, 'Uh bill, and SO ON. Now
'uh' is sound that won't carry, and
You can't attract the attention of the
house by grunting 'Uhv So when 1
started sang out in loud, clear voice
that took them off their feet, 'A-a-a-a-a
bill!'-long "a. They weren't used to
that, and wondered what had broken
loose, but it seemed to catch them. 1
saw was on the right track, SO went
on singing her out clear as bell, and
when l got warmed up felt as good as
I ever did in the hottest speech of a
campaign.
"The thing they gave me to read was
terror. 1t had words, in it as long as q
dictionary. hut I hurried up and slid
through them and was doing pretty we'll
when I looked down the page and saw a
lot of Spanish proper names. Now, I
didn't Know Spanish from Apache, but
was going about 100 words minute,
so without stopping I gave them two
verses of little German poem I had
learned when boy. and hang me if a
man in that hall seemed to know the
difference except Congressman Med
ringhaus of st. Louis. You ought to
have seen him laugh when he heard his
native tongue worked off on the house
OF representatives for Spanish.
eyes, got the place, and it was the
long "a and the German poetry that
saved me- New York Sum.

The procession, eight miles long,

Children who have had one agree that
quite the funniest thing for child's
party is 'sbag of luck" It is big.
very stout paper bag; -four bag would
not be amiss for the inside, but it must
be made gay and tied with bright float
ing ribbons on the outside. In this bag
put enough pretty trifies and bonbons to
supply the little guests and hang the
bag high in doorway. Give to each
child pretty stick tied with ribbons,
biindfold them, and as they pass under
the bag give each one q chance to strike
and break it open. Each child has three
chances. and the one who makes the
hrst hole is given prize. Candies, flow
ers and things not readily broken should
MI this bag.-New York Post.

do You wonder why you cannot skate
as well as your companions? Perhaps
your skates are not properly ground.
For fancy skating you must have what
Is known as the right angled edge.
There Is not much fear that girls will
knowingly skate ON ice that is not safe,
but 1t is just as we'll that they should
be told that the snow ice is that which
Is most likely to give way. Black ice,
like black frost, is the hardest.

Great Wear Of R.ilro.d Iron.

Taking the total length of the rail-
ways OF the world at even 60, 900 miles
and allowing daily average Of 10 trains
over each road. it is estimated that the
total loss OF iron by wear and tear each
day OF the year is not less than 600 tons.
The iron thus lost goes back to the earth
IN the shape Of fine powder, which is
finally transformed into soluble iron
salts.-St- Louis Republic.

The reason why SO few people are
