THE UNROMANTIC GERM.

Chicago Times-Herald)
In the days of old the milkmaid sang
A sweet, romantic song;
Her pail was at the service of
Each knight that came along.
She sat beside the patient COW.
She lodged the busy tail,
And oft her happy lover came
To drink out of the pail.
Alas. they say the lowing kline
Are full of germs today.
So, milkmaid. tempt me not TO drink
Out of your pail, pray.
A thousand kinds of danger Turk
Within the streams you aim
So deity with your little hands,
Or so the doctors claim,
Adieu adieu. romantic days
When herds wound DER the lea,
And milkmaids hummed their merry
songs
All, they are not for mel
So. milkmaid, go and tempt me not
To drink out of your pail;
I'll spread my breath with butterine
And call for ginger ale.

son is one of the best story -tellerS in
Washington. He has fund OF canny
Scotch wit which has left its impress
on the history of congress. His voice
is strong and resonant, and he is re-
garded as one of the most forcible and
entertaining orators in congress. He
and his family are popular in Washing
ton society. There are three children

If Henderson is elected speaker he
will be the first man of alien birth to
fill that office. 1t is no mere chance
that has brought it about that speak
ers hitherto have been of native birth
Under the old law of the presidential
succession the speaker of the house was
in the line of succession after the presi-
dent pro TEN, of the senate, in case of
death or disability of both the presi-
dent and vice president; and in view of
this, it was thought unwise to put any
man in the speakers chair who was OF
alien birth The question never came
prominently forward. it is true. but the
rule prevailed. Under the present law
which was framed by Senator Hoar af--
ter the critical time of 1876. the mem
bers of the cabinet take precedence in
succession in the event of the death or
disability of the president and vice
president. beginning with the secretary
of state, and the speaker is not includ-
ed in the list of eligibles.
Should Henderson be elected he VIII
also be the first speaker TO hail from a
state west of the Mississippi.
Colonel Henderson has always been
an enthusiastic advocate of the free
distribution of seeds by congressman,
and his constituents have been highly
favored in this regard. His known
fOndness for a joke has made him the
subject of considerable banter upon this
line, and he has probably stood more
ridicule upon the free seed fad than
other congressman One of Colonel
Henderson's postal cards anent this
topic in a woman'S handwriting, bore
this message: Johns influence can't
be got with Is cents worth of free
seeds. but if you will send me a box

but never warmed up until the bleach
ers howled and jeered and told him he
was easy, and then he got down to
business.
1t was in the sixth inning that Ogden
first scored, and the Lagoon boys never
got started, although Kimbrough
touched home plate after the round
trip, but foul was claimed and the
decision of the umpire robbed them of
this lonely run scored. In the first half
of the ninth a lively personal enccun-
ter, a la Jeffries- FitZsimmons, came off
on second base, which Bennett was
holding down. The trouble arose over
Bluth's knocking into Bennett, or Ben
nett's knocking into Bluth A mutual
disagreement having arisen, both par
ties sought reparation in a fisticuffs
proceeding. The audience took in the
situation in short order. and it was but
moment before the diamond was
thronged with the excited people.
Friends of the participants of the bout
separated them before any harm was
done, and the play was resumed. A
very hard wind interfered with the
game at the end The final score was:
