ONE MAN
Whom the Saloonist's Sarcasm Failed
Utterly to Reach.

The proprietor of one of Washington's
swagger saloons began to notice a couple
of weeks ago the mighty onslaughts made
at every noon hour upon the substantial
and rather inviting free lunch spread out
in his place for patrons. The man would
stroll in just as the lunch was ready, buy
glass of beer at the bar and permit ii
to remain standing there. and then prance
into the lunch like a whaler just back
from a three-year Imprisonment in Polar
ice. He covered the whole layout, from
pickles to baked beans, and he regarded
other nibbers at the free lunch with some
austerity. When he got through the
lunch looked like the wind-up of a Roman
table orgy, and the proprietor of the place
back to the bar for his beer on two or
three occasions
Say, you overlooked that ooiled fish to-
day" said the proprietor the first time.
You ought to be able to get away with
about half of that fish,"
mo, l don't care much for fish," replied
the man, smiling. Thanks, all the same"
The next day when the man had wound
up his attack upon the luncn and made it
after bad trip around Hatteras, the pro
prietor said to him:
You didn't see that other pretzel on the
Why, did | leave one?" inquired the
man. $50 did" and he walked back to
the table and got 1t.
The proprietor had a job put up on the
man last Thursday noon. The free lunch
monopolist turned up, the boss of the sa-
loon went up TO him and invited him TO sit
down at one of the tables.
i've got q hot lunch to-day" he said.
'iIt'n be ready in a minute"
The man sat down, and then waiter
came in from a neighboring restaurant,
bearing a tray loaded down with the good
things of a dollar regular dinner, from
soup to nuts.
The man ate it slowly and with gusto,
the proprietor standing by to look on.
us that mock turtle right?" asked the
proprietor. "How's the roast lamb? Do
you like those apple fritters?" etc
The man expressed his measurable sat
isfaction in reply to these questions, and
the proprietor was waiting for him TO get
ashamed or mad and go out. When the
man had finished cracking the remainder
of the English walnuts. after expressing
his dissatisfaction over the comparative
smallness of the strawberry shortcake
that was on the tray for dessert he wiped
his mouth carefully with his napkin, got
up and walked over to where the proprie-
tor was standing
That's a pretty good lunch" he said.
"but they put out better that over at
Barmor'," and the Baltimore man walked
out
Sarcasm Is wasted on such ducks
said the proprietor gloomingly, watching
the Baltimoreans retreating FORM

Regarding Red-Headed People.

Red-headed people, as is well known,
are less subject to badness than others.
A London doctor explains the matter
thus: The hair of the red-headed is rela-
lively thick, one red hair being almost
as thick as five fair or three brown hairs
With 30 900 red hairs the scalp is well
thatched, whereas with the same number
of fair hairs one is comparatively bald
1t takes 10000 fair and 900 brown hairs
TO cover adequately an ordinary head.

WILL MARK THE SPOT
OF A MIRACULOUS RESCUE
Queen Margaret Will Attend the Un-
yelling of Her Statue to the
Virgin on the Alps

ROME, July S.-Queen Margaret has
promised to climb Rocciamelone, one of
the highest peaks of the Italian Alps, and
take part in the unveiling there of the
statute to the Virgin, of which she herself
is the sculptor. About two years ago a
company of Alpine militia was marching
over Rocciamelone, when an avalanche
was encountered. and nearly all were
buried beneath the mass of snow. Assist
ance was quickly sent from the nearest
military post, and all the entombed men
rescued.
The Queen was strangely moved by the
incident. She composed a thanksgiving
prayer to the Virgin, and resolved to
make a statue and erect it on the spot,
and have a verse of this prayer engraven
upon the pedestal.

AN OBSTRUCTIVE BODY.

The delay Of the Senate in ratifying the
peace treaty has no parallel in our history.
The delay is not only injurious to public in
terests but is opposed to the spirit of the
Constitution. A treaty is an executive act
and while the Constitution requires the adj
vice and consent of the Senate to it's ratifi-
cation. it was never contemplated that the
Senate should hold up treaties or nullify the
action of the executive. The original draft
of the Constitution as reported to the con-
vention by the committee on detail provided
that THE Senate of the United States shall
have power to make treaties and to appoint
ambassadors and judges of the Supreme
Court" In the discussion on this clause
some delegates objected to giving the Sem
ate any power whatever over treaties. When
It was proposed TO make the ratification Of
treaties depend on two-thirds vote of the
Senate. Mr.. Madison moved to amend by
inserting except treaties of peace" so as
to allow such treaties to be made with less
difficulty than other treaties. The whole
discussion showed that it was not intended
70 tie the hands Of the President in the
matter of making treaties. Mr.. Gouverneur
Morris. a prominent delegate from Pennsyl-
wanna. said that no peace ought to be made
without the concurrence of the President
who was the general guardian of the ma
tlonal interests" As fair compromise Of
the various views the clause was finally
agreed upon as it now stands in the Con-
stitution. This enumerates the power to
make treaties among the executive powers
OF the President, but says it shall be done
by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate.
Heretofore all treaties OF peace have been
ratified by the Senate very promptly The
treaty of Client. after the war of 1872. was
ratified on the second day after it was sent
to the Senate. The letter OF President
Madison transmitting it TO the Senate was
dated Feb. IS. and the Senate ratified it on
the 18th. Other important treaties have
been ratified with similar promptness, and in
no instance have public interests ever been
imperiled BY factious opposition to treaty
