When Mir. Frost came to the portal

Considering the weight of the slabs
which formed the main part of the
vest!bU,c's roof, Mr.. Frost was of the
opinion TINT they ought not to be dis
turhpd while people were passing in
and out beneath. This opinion, how
over. was entirely professional. Per-
aonnl!y he did not care whether the la
borers did or did not drop 500 pounds
Of marble on his head, whence we con-
0lude that MIR. Frost was not happy.
Really he had stood 1t about rs long
as he could. The trouble did not seem
to he that he had lost the girl but that
he could not stop thinking about her.

Indeed It was probable that the door

from putting mitch power into the ef-
fort, for in pushing upon the partition
ahead of him he had nothing to brace
against except the partition behind
him, and such an attempt was like the
old joke about the man who tried to
lift himself by pulling on his boot
straps.
Meanwhile the situation was mex
pressiby embarrassing. Dozens OF
men who knew Mr., Frost and Miss FL

A Blaine-Reed Incident.

Tom Reed Is quoted as having said
the day before he sailed on the New
York: .sOne of the little things of life
that hurts ME more than anything
else that ever happened was pass l
received from Mr.. Blaine when he
was speaker of the house. OF course,
never expected to hold that exalted
office, and when it fell to me l re-
meInbered. He was exactly twenty
years ahead of me in the speakership,
and 1 Isupposed we were great friends.
l wrote to him for pass or permit
to go through the vaults Of the capi-
tol with a few friends, and there
came back simple pass for myself,
properly signed and countersigned,
but not a friendly line from the
speaker. 1t cut me to the quick, and
] threw the paper away. 1t took me
a good many years to get over what
l regarded as slight, but in the end
everything was explained. The cir
cumstance, however, taught me a
lesson in courtesy-of which we all
supposed Blaine was past master.
1t ever friend or acquaintance ask
ed me for pass or permit, which it
was in my power to give, l never
failed to write, or to have my secre-
tary write, q note expressing the
pleasure it gave me to comply with
the modest request. 1t has made for
