ex-senator Mitchell of OREGON, ex-Sen-
ator Hiscock of New York, ex-senator
Fowler of Tennessee and ex Senator Ed
munds of Vermont. An extensive page
III history is covered by these names,
reaching away back over 4 quarter IF 4
century to the stirring days when Pres
1dent johnson was impeached. Senator
Fowler voted against conviction. SEN
ator Corbett, now in his Il first
year, is another old timer. Kellogg and
Clayton are reminders Of the reconstruc-
ton days, and it was rather interesting
to note how the friction of that period
has disappeared, for Clayton, the one

The e Man.

ing about 4 fencing master III London,
who had two sons. Both Of them, like
the father, Were physical giants.
Which was the stronger and better
fighter was a disputed question until a
burglar got into the house one night.
One OF the sons, opening the front door
with a latchkey late at night, found the
intruder in the hall. They Immediate
ly clinched.
The other. brother, hearing the noise,
rushed down stairs, and, not being able
in the dark to distinguish a burglar
from a worthy and honest citizen of
London. proceeded to pound both men
whom he ran against.
Meanwhile brother number one.
thinking there were two burglars in the
house, turned half of his attention to
the new enemy, and the fight became
desperate.
The father, awakened by the uproar,
rushed down stairs with a heavy walk
ing stick. Then the fight was something
to admire, but to avoid.
When it was all over and the gas was
lighted by the aged fencing master, it
was discovered that he had whipped
not only the burglar, but his two Sous.

HE FELT SMALLEST.

1nere are occasions when a man feels
small, there are occasions when he feels
smaller and there are occasions when
he feels smallest. This tale deals with
II of the last mentioned.
He had been instructed to get some
thing at one of the large grocery houses
in the business section of the city, ''be-
cause" as his wife explained it, 'they
don't keep it out here"
He had also been instructed to get
just two pounds of it, because" as
his wife again explained, II merely
wish to try it and see whether it is an
Improvement upon what | am now
using"
Then she wrote the name on a slip Of
paper for him, for she had learned BY
experience not to trust to his memory
and informed him that she didn't know
how much it wonld cost, but that it
certainly would not be very much, to
which he responded that he was glad
of that, for the reason that be had only
a little change with him.
So it happened that he drifted into
n Of the big retail grocery houses that
afternoon, pulled out a scrap Cf paper
with the name of what he wanted ON
it, handed it to a clerk and said he'd
take two pounds.
The clerk looked a little surprised
and asked if he couldn't use five
pounds, as the stuff came III five pound
packages, but be felt confident that his
wife knew her business, and besides he
could hot forget that he only had about
$1.15 in change i'll his pocket anyway,
SO he coldlv Informed the clerk that ha
knew what he wanted and how much
he wanted and that he saw no reason
fer wasting his hard earned cash en-
more than that Just because they were
fools enough to PIT it up i'll large pack
ages.
The clerk said "All right and broke
the five pound package to get the nee
essary two pounds. Then it suddenly
dawred upon the young man that in
view Of the bluff he had made he would
be IN a very awkward position if the
two pounds came to more than his
S1.I5. He recalled that bis wife had
said that it wouldn't cost very much,
but she had said the same thing once
about a bonnet, and he had never placed
much faith i'll her views of the value Of
things since. However, he made the
best CT the situation and asked How
much:" without q trace Of
Three cents Il pound answered the
clerk.
That was when he experienced the
superlatiye of the adjective small"
He felt that he had made about 90 cents
worth of work to get 6 cents worth of
stuff out of a IS cent package and in
addition had suffered q full dollars
worth of mental torture.
He was not in geod kumor when he
reached home. Chicago Pest.
