TERRENCE ON DREYFus.

The merry ring Of a silver dollar on
the round table at The sign of the sill
yer mug" last night, was the signal for
the congress of nations to get into ses-
sion.
When roli-call showed that AIRY, the
EngIshman; Sven, the Swede; Ter
renee, the Irishman; Hans, the Dutch-
man, and Donald, the Scotchman, eacn
occupied a chair at the table the but
ton was pressed, and Tim Sullivan
came in and was given an order for a
round of mustys.
AS Tim and the dollar went to the bar
together, the International congressman
looked at one another, each waiting to
see who would break the silence first
Sven, the Swede, had been to a meet
ing Of the 'Hurmorni-B Bra" society the
night before, and not having secured his
usual installment of sleep, began TO
doze, and was soon dreaming of the
heroes of the old sagas, and the weird
fitting of the Valkyries.
He was still snoring away right mer-
rlly when the stems of musty were
brought in, and his fellow congressman
looked displeased -.-s---~r

snooze,' said Terrence.
'Whock i'm on the sleeDin' lug. Ter

tinued, giving Sven a vigorous shake,

The word stein" acted upon Sven,
much the same as the dinner bell does
upon hungry boarder, and he came
out Of his trance with a start.

as he took a generous swig from the
