Didn't Like the Risk.

An old countryman took his wife to
magic lantern entertainment, at
which the wonders Of the microscope
were to be exhibited. The various Gu
riosities seemed to please the good
woman very well, till the animalculae
contained in a drop Of water came to
be shown.
These appeared to poor Janet not SO
pleasant sight as the ottars. She sat
patiently, however. till the "water
tigers" magnified to the size Of twelve
feet, appeared on the sheet, fighting
with their usual ferocity.
Janet now rose in great trepidation,
and cried to her husband:
'For mercy's sake, come ava, John!'
''Sit STILL woman" said John, "and
see the show"
''See the show! bless us, man. what
would come Of us IL the awfu'-like
brutes wad break out O. the water!"

BRIGHAM II. ROBERTS.

Brigham II. Roberts. Representative
| elect from the State of Utah, is not to
sit as a member of the Fifty-sixth Con.
gress. Final judgment on his case was
indicated when the Hou.e by vote OF
3O2 to 80 declined to accord him permis.
sion to take the oath of office. \ special
committee composed of nine members
was appointed to investigate the charges
that caused the action. Roberts intimat.
ed that if all other resources fail he may
appeal to the Supreme Court of the Unit.
ed States for adjudication of the legal
questions involved in the proceedings to
oust him. Roberts made gallant de-
fense in his own behalf. He refgused to
sue for the mercy of the House, but de.
manded as his right that he be permitted
to occupy his seat so that the State of
Utah might be represented in Congress
Originally limited to twenty minutes for
the presentation of his argument, his
time was extended thirty minutes longer
Roberts made good use of his opportu-
nifty. He crowded as many ideas and
facts into his speech as it would contain.
The galleries were crowded to their full
est capacity while the debate was in prog
ress and, as during the opening, the audi.
ence was largely composed of women.
They were coldly hostile to the man from
Utah. They listened to his eloquent ar
gument without betraying the slightest
sympathy with the deductions he drew
On the other hand, when his prosecutors
scored against him, they swclled the ap'
plause with which Congressman on both
the Democratic and Republican sides of
the house greeted the hits, and appeared
to be rescntful when Speaker Henderson
warned them that they must preserve or
der.
Roberts, Notwithstanding his bulldog
determination and unflinching nerve,
which were betrayed in every line of his
heavy face, was not unmindful of the
unsympathetic conduct. He accepted the
moiety of sympathy which came from a
few with eloquent gratitude, which prov
ed the extremity of his position. When
the debate was closed and the House
voted down the amendments to the Tay
lor resolution and then proceeded to a
roll call on the resolution which would
deprive him of his seat pending the in
vestigation by the special committee,
Roberts picked up his books and papers
and FASTENED to the cloakroom and thence
left the building for his hotel. Not a
man among the 356 Representatives held
out a hand of friendship or said good-by.
He passed out of the capitol practically
unnoticed, except by the curious, who
simply regarded him as the man whose
case has been attracting national atten'
ton for six months.

DOCTOR IS DRIVEN INSANE.
Experience In n Madhouse Dethrone
Mia Reasnn

! Experience In a Madhouse Dethrones
His Reason.
A celebrated Scotch physician tells .
story of a madhouse doctor whose
presence OF mind alone saved his life:
"A great friend OF mine was for a
considerable time the medical sup
erintendent Of lunatic asylum near
| Glasgow. One night in making his
customary rounds he had occasion to
visit the patients in the kitchen, who
Were preparing the dinner. There were
seven of them, all big. sturdy fellows
who were believed to be harmless. The
keeper only locked in upon them now
and again, feeling that his constant
presence was unnecessary.
THE doctor unlocked the iron barred
door of the kitchen and went In among
the lunatics. There were five large
boilers containing scalding water ready
for making the days dinner for the
patients.
"One of the lunatcs pointed at the
boilers full of hot water and laying his
hand upon the doctors shoulder, said,
Doctor. you'll make a fine pot of BROTH
and the words had no sooner been ut
tered than the other six madmen shout
ed in voice Of delight, Just the thingv
and. seizing the doctor, were in the very
act Of putting him into one Of the large
boilers Of scalding water when the doc
tor had the presence Of mind to say, but
not n second too soon:
Capital broth, but it would taste
better II took my clothes or
The madmen with yell of delight
said Yes and the doctor asked them
to wait n moment while he went and
took his clothes off. but as soon as he
got out of the kitchen he turned the key
in the door and ordered the keeper to
see to the lunatics being put under
restraint.
1.-The doctors presence Of mind saved
him, it is true, from a terrible death,
but he died shortly after raving mad.
The experience had destroyed his
reason"

CURRENCY BILL.
The Republican Measure for Reguiat
ing the Country's Finances.

ing the Country's Finances.
The text of the currency measure elab
grated by the Republican Senate Finance
Committee has been made public. Th,
bill is gold standard bill 1t affrms tn,
existing standard without equivocation
1t declares that 1.-The dollar consisting Of
twenty-five and eight-tenths grains o.
gold nine-tenths fine shall, as established
by section 3511 of the Revised Statute.
of the United States, continue to be the
standard unit of value. and all forms Of
money issued or coined by the United
States shall be maintained at q parity OF
value with this standard"
In the next place, the Senate bill, like
that of the House, provides that the
greenbacks and the treasury notes Of the
law of 1890 "shall be redeemed in gold
coin" of the standard specified. In the
third place, reserve fund Of S15O,0O0,.
600 is set apart for redemption purposes,
and the treasury is given power to issue
bonds for the maintenance of that trust
fund The House bill provides for a re-
serve fund equal to % per cent Of the
outstanding volume of government notes.
which at present would amount to less
than S109,000,O00. Again, the Senate
bill enlarges the privileges of the nation
al banks by allowing them to issue notes
up to the par value of bonds deposited.
1t provides for reduction of the tax on
circulation issued not, indeed, against all
bonds, but against bonds bearing only
2 per cent interest The House bill does
away with this tax altogether, but it
imposes instead tax equal to that elm
mated on the capital and surplus and un-
divided profits of the banks.
The House bill converts all outstanding
"coin" bonds into gold obligations. The
Senate committee has refused to do this.
1t leaves the coin bonds as they are, max
ing it possible for a secretary to redeem
them in silver. The House bill also au-
thorizes the exchange by the treasury Of
gold for silver, which provision the Sem
ate bill omits.

The John Nj. Smyth Co. Have No
Agents.

Agents.
The well-merited popularity of the
great mail order establishment of the
John NJ. Smyth Co. of Chicago seems TO
have induced INSCRIPTIONS parties to go
through the country and falsely represent
themselves as sales agents for this house.
BY thus representing themselves they
have succeeded in imposing upon many
by selling goods and taking cash and
notes from victims who actually believed
they were purchasing goods from the
representatives of the firm direct. The
John NJ. Smyth Co. have no agents and
denounce as frauds all parties travelling
through the country and claiming to rep
resent the firm. The public should be on
the lookout for such impostors.
