Mr. MaIIsap's BilI.

The travelling man who had been
royalty entertained by the prosperous
farmer In the outskirts OF the little
town, where the only hotel had burned
down a few days before, was little
uncertain when about to depart wheth-
er he should simply return hiT thanks
or risk offending his host by Offering
pay.
You have placed me under great
obligations, Mr.. Millsaps," he said:
when / come in from a trip of this
kind / am accustomed to turning in an
expense account. and it seems to me
ought to have put down in it some
thing pretty handsome for the excellent
entertainment l have had at your
house"
"You can turn in what you durn
please" replied Mr.. Millsaps. my
bill viii be s16."-chicago Tribune

.6e Taf6ered rand 6eadway. Ne

abe gathered rapid Roadway Never
was canvas handled quicker in making
sail than 1t was that morning by us.
Two or three boats were seen TO push
out in pursuit; but they might as well
have saved their labor, and given up
the chase as soon as the sun showed at
what rate we were leaving them astern.
THAT was the nearest that / ever
came to running away from ship; for,
you may be sure. the lesson was not
lost upon me. ! think Tom Babson al
ways gave the whole Spanish Main a
wide berth afterward- He would not
even venture round the Western Horn
again, but shipped for an Indian voy-
age as soon as we arrived in England"

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 2, 1ss S.
COMMUNICATED.
HON JOHN F. RlNEY.

The papers are announcing different
candidates for Congress from the s n
District, and while it is gratifying TO
know that ehere are so many comps
tent and available men in the district,
m IN of whom We are justly proud, but
we want 10 say right here that we have
in our present representative a man
without peer. We have had many
good and true men to represent this
district in the years gone by but none
truer, ADLER or purer than John +.
Rixey. l have known him fcom his
boyhood, and in every sphere of life ne
has borne himself without blame. Full
of energy and push, truly working
man, and, in every sense, the working
ing mans friend. But it is of his pure
life I would love to speak. In this age
when the cry comes ringing from the
national capital "wickedness in high
places" with pride we can point to our
representative and say Behold the true,
tried, temperate Christian gentleman.
I have been much in the counties OF
Culpeper, Loudoun and Fauquier and
it was pleasure to hear only kind
things about Mr.. Rjxey, and the earn
rst desire that he represent US agaiO.
True our foolish pride has been just a
little cut, because of some threat trou-
BILE he has made no speeches in the
House, for some of us feel that he has
no superior as speaker. He is vast
and colossal in his imagery, majestic IL
his dicsion, copious in his fancy, logical
and forceful in the presentation of any
subject. Though making but few
speeches, ne has shown deep interest
in things pertaining to the welfare Of
his district. Ies, we are proud of him;
we believe in him; We know him ana
we are not willing to wait until he is
dead and then put flowers upon his
grave, but while he lives and faithfully
tolls, We would throw this little flow
eret across his pathway that its per-
fume may sweeten the hours of labor.
The decree goes forth from the people
that John F. Rixey must be our next
representative. q.
