One of Nj. Speakers Jokes.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
Recently Speaker Reed wished to see a
man on some pending legislation, and
telegraphed for him to come to Washing
ton. The man took the flrst train avnil-
able, but a wasEout on the road made II
impossible for the train TO proceed far
ther toward its destination. Going to a
telegraph station he sent this dispatch to
the speaker:
"Washout on the line. Can't come"
When Reed read the message he sent
back this reply:
Buy a new shirt and come, anyway"

Barre, and Merry Minstrels," a char
acteristic medley. 1t Is to be hoped
that the city will soon find means of
creating a regular series of open air
band concerts as they are certainly
well appreciated and largely attended.
