He Wanted a Pension.

Opie Read tells a funny story of coll
ored man who had conceived the idea
that he could get a pension from the
Government. He went to a pension
agent to learn what steps it would be
necessary for him to take to bring about
the desired result.
Were you really m the army. Sam?''
asked the agent
Yas, sab; indeed I was, Eah; / was
in de army for more'n year, sab"
What regiment were you in, Sam"
wall, sab, l don't just this minute
recommended, but Use gwine to bring
you all de papers and dat will explain
de matter"
But you surely remember whom you
were with Sam?"
"Oh, yes, sab; I recommended dat all
right; I was wild my young master"
'Oh, then, you were in the Confed-
crate army, We're you?"
Vas. sab; vas sab"
Were you ever wounded. SAM"
'Yas, sab; indeed 1 was; see dat
scar, sab; 1 got dat scar in de army,
sah"
What was it hit you, Sam?''
wall, sab, it was skillet, sab; in
deed it was; a big iron skillet, sah.'
Now, see here, Sam, what chance
can you have to get a pension? In the
first place, you were in the rebel army,
and then the only wound you received,
anyway, was from a skillet; what in
the world has our Government got to do
with your case?'

FRYE AND THE BARBER.
How He Got His Hair Gut a la
Maine.

In a letter to his family in Lewiston
Senator Frye relates an incident of ex-
perience in Paris that takes the form
of a. joke on himself
Mrs Frye remarked to me the other
day" writes the Senator, that / need
ed hair cut. I was on my way to
join anew the company of counts, he
reditary dukes, noble lords and earls,
and although l don't care a. rap for all
the quarterings on their crests, l don't
want my hair to go romping over my
coat collar. and that's just what Mrs
Frye said it did do. Now. I am bit
particular about who shears my poll.
know a man in Lewiston who can suit
me. l lie back in his chair While he
talks fishing and fox hunting and
neighborhood news, and he shears it to
my taste. ] have my favorite barber
in Washington. but in Paris I am not
on speaking terms with many of the
tonsorial profession, and. as I said,
am particular about how it is cut.
so I took down my book of Con-
versational French in One Hour and
turned to where man is instructed
how to go to his BARRIERS and get a
Lewiston (Me) haircut. | put in some
time on the matter. and, banishing all
thoughts of peace treaty, Spanish rat
iocination and attendant annoyances,
went forth in quest OF a hair cutter,
Mrs. Frye telling me not to be gone
long. | found my shop and went in
barber approached me as T took off
my top coat. and turned on him, feel
ing a good deal more embarrassed than
l did the first time I ever addressed
the House, and that is saying good
deal. He bowed and l bowed, and then
/ addressed him voluminously in con-
versational French, describing in choice
idiom how l wanted it cut and where.
He looked puzzled Again 1 went over
it, and, gaining confidence from the
attention that I aroused, l illustrated
it by signs that must have convinced
him that I wanted my head cut off
right above my coat collar
1.-THE man hesitated, and finally,
spreading his hands out in a depreca-
tory gesture, said to me in choice Eng
lish: All. I beg your pardon. You are
a Dutchman, I see and speak no
French. We do not speak Dutch, but
do you happen to speak English?' We
got on very well after that, and I got
a very good hair cut ''-Lewiston (Me)
