AS we looked upon the sad faces we

We were told that it took 800 gallons
OF coffee at each meal, 20 bushels Of

We were informed that the peniten-

The convicts are treated very well.
They are allowed ccess to q very fine

He displayed his handkerchief, which

well, never a cross word being spoken

Paid His BILLS Twice.

From Harper's Magazine.
just previous to one of Webster's public
orations he ordered a suit of clothes Of
a tailor whose shop was near by. 1t was
intended for an occasion when he wished
to look his best, and as the time was
short and Mr.. Webster very particular
about the fit of the clothes. he worried the
tailor considerably. The clothes were fin
ished to Mr.. Webster's satisfaction and in
a moment of abstraction he paid the bill.
Some three months later the tailor pre-
scented another bill for the same clothing.
Webster was engaged with important
matters, and. barely glancing at the bill,
paid 1t again. Some time later a boy from
the tailor's shop presented the same bill
for the third time. By this time IL had
grown familiar and it found Webster I'm
