STORIES OF THE DAY.

How Ex-Minister Ransom Was Extricated
From His Abstraction.
Former Minister to Mexico Ransom
was at the house a few days age talking
about his experiences in Mexico, says
the Washington Times. After the min
lister left the cloakroom one Of the mem
bers said:
'tDid you ever talk to the minister
when his mind has been occupied with
business?" And without waiting for
reply the member continued: ST did.
met him soon after his return from
Mexico, and after we shook hands he
said:
How is your sister, Frank?'
"'She is we'll, replied.
"The minister's mind then returned
to some business for five minutes, and
then he said:.
How is your sister, Frank And
as before I replied that she was we'll
Five minutes later he raised his eyes
from some papers and remarked:
OAs = o'AA' 1OW 40 yOuA eloO6I! r I
thought the conversation was becoming
rather monotonous, and to change it
answered that she was very ILL.,
Bless me, you don't say SO! am
sorry to hear it, Frank
He turned to his papers again for
another five minutes, and hang me if he
didn't turn around and say:
Frank, how is your sister, At
first I thought he was guying me, but,
looking at him sharply, I realized he
had forgotten the conversation, and l
answered sadly, 'She is dead.
Why, man, you don't mean it'll! he
exclaimed, jumping from his seat and
extending his hand in a most sympa-
thetic manner, adding: This is dread
full. When did it happen? Tell me all
about it.
Why, replied, I killed her just
now When came in your office, I told
you she was well twice; then told
you she was very i'll. and that didn't
impress you, SO for your benefit I have
just killed her.
"The old man looked at me for mo-
ment and then replied:
"'You must pardon me, Frank. I
was thinking about these papers.

This modern malady has become
dreaded not more for it's direct IA

WE'LL GET. ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE.
Toll in the cities and till the ground.
The world is green and wide,
And some Of these days, when the world turns
round,
Well get on the brighter sfde
Sow and reap and work and weep
For the blessings that are denied,
And some of these days, in tho mornings
rays
Well get on the brighter side.
Some Of these days in the thorny ways
Will the lilies Of joy abide.
The birds will ng, and the bells will ring.
And we'll get on the brighter side.
Then toll in tho cities and till the ground.
Whatever may be denied,
For some Of these days, when the world turns
round,
Well get on the brighter side
