The Washington correspondent OF an
Atlanta newspaper says there are senator's
Of The United States who hold that the
state Of Florida clearly desires that there
shall be a hiatus In her representation in
the Senate, or she would never have con-
stitutionally fixed the time Of the meeting
Of the legislature in April while the Sen.
ate convenes In extra session on March g.
That is 60 say. Florida feared that she
might have fun representation all the
time, under ordinary arrangements. and
that she took especial pains 90 provide for
a break. II may be that there are sena-
tori who think such rot, but It is difficult
10 believe It.

1t is said that Inventor Edison has
about perfected his fuorescent lamp. the
new form of electric lighting with x-rays.
The greatest feature of the lamp is that it
gives light without heat. The inventor
has figured out that the best incandescent
lamp requires 13S foot pounds of energy
per second for each candle power. The
new lamp requires but 80 foot pounds.
Therein lies its commercial value.

From the Chattanooga Times pem.).

Hon. Holke Smith stated to the Times
when he was in this city few days since
that he voted for Bryan at the last cleo
ton because he had pledged himself TO
vote for the nominees of the Chicago con-
vention before he had any idea it was go
ing TO do what it did But" said Mr..
Smith, "if Mr. Bryan should be nominated
again on the same platform, my obliga-

him."

Our esteemed contemporary, the Column
bia Is. c. State, excuses Mr.. Bryan's writ
ing for sensational newspapers in New
York by saying that in doing so he is
"only following the bad example of the
Prince of Wales, Mr. Gladstone. the King
of Sweden, the King of Greece, Premier
Canovas, President Faure. the Anglican
bishops" and others. Our contemporary
is quite capable of discriminating
between specious claims of spe-
cial articles by foreign potentates and
dignitaries and genuine contributions.
Furthermore, so far as we have heard,
none of the distinguished foreigners
named 10y the State has ever retired from
the field in modest indignation because his
name had been posted on the dead-walls
in red and blue letters three feet high.

strategy behind the Counter.

The woman was one of those night
mares of busy clerks-a professional
shopper-and she had the man at the dress
goods counter take down half his stock
for her examination. and after consuming
nearly an hour of his time she decided that
nothing suited her exactly and rose to
leave, says the Detroit Free Press.
The proprietor of the store was stand
ing in the door, as was his custom, and
he always accosted the customers as they
came out to see if they had found what
they desired. If a clerk failed to make
sale he generally heard from it as soon
as the customer left. This particular
clerk was in line for the chief place in
his department, and he wanted it. He
knew that If the proprietor should find odt
from the woman that her wants had lot
been supplied it would not be greatly to
his credit. so he said:
Madame. do you see that man stand
ing in the door?"
yes"
''Well, if he should speak to you as
you so out don't be alarmed. He is a
lunatic, but being a relative of the owner
of the store he is allowed a great deal
of liberty, as he is dangerous only at
times"
The woman gathered her handkerchief
and umbrella and started for the door
looking little nervous. When she was
about to pass out the proprietor turned to
her suddenly, and said:
Madame, did you get what you want
ed?"
The woman uttered a frightened squeak
swung her umbrella at a party, skipped
out the door and fled up the street three
or four doors before she slowed down TO
a fast walk.
The proprietor, filed with surprise
went back to the dress goods counter and
said:
What in the world was the matter
with that lady who just went out?'
I'D like to know myself" said the
clerk. She acted very queerly while she
was back here. 1 really think she must
be crazy"
And the proprietor evidently thought
so himself, for he said no more about it.

Gladstone and the Queen.

Gladstone is the one living man
whose political experience stretches be-
yond that of the queen. His is the one
figure that for longer period than that
of the queen has filled the political
stage. That is remarkable position for
any public man to hold. To all others
the queen represents knowledge, expert
9nce and training which none Of them
can possibly possess. She knows more
about politics, persons, movements,
routine, than any man who may be one
of her advisers. She began by learning
from the least of them; she ends by in
structing them all. No one knows so
much of the private history of men and
of families, and in all her life there has
been, with the exception of the Lady
Flora Hastings case, of which we yet
know little or nothing, no example of
any mistake or indiscretion on the part
of the queen. She has hated some of her
advisers, distrusted some, and merely
disliked others, but every one of them
has testified to her perfect faithfulness
to them all.-"Yoke of the Empire,
by R. B. Brett.

REcKLEss NAT GOODWIN.
An Illustration Of Hog the consdisn Has
Money to Burn


Money to Burn.
A story I have just heard anent Nat
Goodwin is but another instance Of his
reckless generosity and constant desire
to burn money upon al possible occa-
sions.
Nat had been in the habit Of passing
part Of his time at a certain kostelry--
that is all the description necessary Of
ihe place-presided over by fat, good
natured German. They had known each
bther well and wero on excellent terms
IL came about one day, during the
broaching Of bill, that Mr.. Goodwin
disputed an item Of $50. In doing so he
was morally certain that the indebted
ness was not his. Mine host was equal
ly sure On his side of the contrary.
Tbs dispute waxed hot and heavy.
See here, F" said Gcoiwin, 1 don't
care for trifiing amount like 500. It's
the principle of the thing, that's all
Just the principle of the thing"

an. but I'd sooner throw the money
way or burn it than give it to you
when / don't owe it to you"
"Ah," exclaimed the German sarcas-
tically. lyon haf money to purn, Ell?
Veil, l dond't pelieve me dot"
sis that so?" returned Nat. "Well,
now, I'll tell you what I'll do with
you. I'll burn $50 right here before
your eyes if you'll receipt the bill"
''By Chiminy" said the host. "In
yoost go you vonce."
Without another word Nat Goodwin
took his checkbook cut of his pocket,
filed out check for $50, tore it out,
applied lighted match TO it, and held
it until it was reduced to ashes.
The German, who had watched the
process with bulging eyes, banged a
rubber stamp ON the disputed bill,
scrawled his signature across it and
said with sigh:

sent several large sacks Of flower and

among his constituents. The papers an
nounced this fact, and for three days

man came up and asked for beans. He
was given two packages. He demurred
to this and reached over into the sack
and began to fill his pockets. When

CHAPTER VII.

MY FIRST MEETING WITH JAMES MULLEN.
And now it is high time that told
the reader something more about the
circumstances under which l had seen
James Mullen and why was SO posi-
tive that he and the man in whose COM
pany had travelled down to Southend
were one ard the same person.
Firstly. it must be remembered that
I sat opposite to my travelling oompan-
ion for more than an hour, during which
time had watched him narrowly, and,
secondly, that there are some faces
which, once seen, one never forgets.
Such face was the face of the man l had
seen on that eventful journey. His eyes
were bright, prominent and had heavy
lids. His complexion was clear and pale,
and his nCse was we'll shaped though
little too pronouncedly aquiline. The
nostrils were very unusual, being thin
and pinched, but arching upward SO
curiously that one might almost fancy
a part of the dilatable cutiole on each
side had been cut away. The finely
nodded chin was like the upper lip and
cheek, clean shaven, and the lips were
full and voluptuous. Thick but fine and
straight straw colored hair was careful
ly brushed over we'll formed forehead,
and the faoa taken altogether, was de-
cidedly distinguished if not aristocrat-
ic in the firmness of outline and the
shaping of the features
After the train had started Mullen
sank back into his seat and appeared to
be thinking intently. I noticed that his
eyes were never still a moment, but
darted restlessly from object to object
in way which seemed to indicate great
brain excitability. That he was exoita-
BILE was clear from his vehement out
burst about the fusee, but almost the
next minute he had, SO to speak, made
amends for his apparent rudeness by ex-
planning that he was peculiarly sensitive
to smell and had an especial dislike to
fusees.
Nevertheless the sudden change in
the expression Of his face at the moment
